UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 30. (Special.) With a 40-piece
band leading- the parade and 1500 stu
dents in line, the University of Ore
son football team was given one of
the greatest rallies ever staged in
Eugene when it left tonight for Se
attle, where the varsity will meet the
University of Washington in one of
the hardest games of the season. The
team was led by Coach -Shy" Hunt
ington and Bill Hayward, both of
whom were called upon to say a few
words to the mob at the depot.
Recognizing the clash with the
Northern university to be one of the
toughest of the season, "Shy"' Hunt
ington said, "If the reports come back
and we are not on top, you will know
that we are fighting Just the same."
Bill Hayward gave an old-fashioned
pep talk that brought the crowd
up on their toes. He was cheered to
the echo. Bart Spellman, assistant
roach, and Graduate Manager Marion
McClain both spoke to the crowd.
Captain Brandy Brandenburg was
called upon for a speech, but his mod
esty prevailed and he did not make
his oration.
Outfit Fall of Fisht.
The Oregon team has had two
weeks' practice since the game with
Idaho. They are not confident of a
win over the University of Washing
ton, but are determined to put up a
great fight. The old motto "That
Oregon may be defeated but never
licked" was never in more evidence
than at the gathering tonight.
Following the game with Wash
ington at Seattle the varsity will
meet Coach Welch's team from
the Washington State college in Port
land. The big game of the season
is with the Aggies in Eugene, No
vember 15, the main feature of what
is to be the greatest homecoming the
university has ever had.
Twenty-two Men Taken.
Huntington took 22 men on the
trip north. All of them appear
to be in the best of condition, and it
is impossible to pick just who will
start the game. No lineup was given
out. Those making the trip were:
Brick Leslie, Prink Callison. Al Hard
ing, Baz Williams. Carl Mautz, War
ren Gilbert. Spike Leslie, Ken Bart
lett. Martin Howard, Stan Anderson,
Neil Morfitt. Bill Steers, Skeet Mane
rud, Francis Jacobberger, Vincent Ja
cobberger, Hollis Huntington, Ed
Strowbrldge. Nish Chapman, Bob Cos-,
griff, Bart Laushlin, Si Starr, Ward
McKinney, Graduate Manager Marion
McClain and Manager Bill Hollen
bock. The big serpentine from the uni
versity to. the depot stretched for six
blocks with the students marching
four abreast. Following the band
came the seniors in their sombreros
and mustaches, with the rest of the
classes in their order. Arriving at
the depot it was found that the train
was 3C minutes late, so the long line
n.'tde another tour of the city.
T USES GHOST BALL
WASHINGTON PREPARES TO
MIX WITH OREGOX ELEVEN.
Northerners Practice Diligently in
Getting Into Shape for
Clabh Tomorrow.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Oct. 30. (Special.) If dili
gent practice will do it, Coach Hunt's
crew of Washington football men will
hold the fast Oregon team to a close
score when the teams clash Satur
day. For the past few nights the
ghost ball has been in use, and lights
glow on each end of the field, to re
place in a small measure the day
light lost by the turning back of the
clocks.
The lemon yellow eligibility list
arrived in Seattle Wednesday night,
and contains the names of 22 men.
Most feared among them is No. 16
none other than Bill Steers, quarter
back on the southern eleven. Evi
dently the concern of the coach re
garding overconf idence as a result
of the big Whitman score was ground
less. The members of the purple
and gold squad look forward to a
tough proposition.
As a sort of evener for the loss of
the veteran fullback, Dave Logg.
suffering from a fractured jaw, Ben
Tidball has recovered from his in
jury and has reported on the grid
iron. He will probably start the
game Saturday in a tackle position.
To instill "pep" in the city and to
advertise the game, there will be an
old-time nightshirt parade Friday
night in the business center of Se
attle. All organizations will con
tribute in stunts and students will
snake dance with as much noise as
possible.
Most hopes of victory is placed
with the purple and gold line. If the
defense holds against the onslaughts
of Huntington's veterans, the lighter
hackfields of the northmen will have
the chance to "get away." Captain
"Crumb Dailey. who clips the cen
tury dash about tbe 10-second mark,
will start the game at half. Butler
or Townsend will be sent in as his
running mate, with Eckman also on
the reserve list. Abel or Williams
will pilot the team, with Waechter or
Hyndman at full.

ST. MARY'S COLLEGE TO PLAY
UNIVERSITY TOMORROW.
ralo Alto Second Team Slated to
Meet College of Paciric With
Rooks Also In Action'.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY Palo Alto,
Cal.. Oct. 30. (Special.) St. Mary's
college vs. Stanford, College of the
Pacific vs. the second team and the
Davis Farm freshmen vs. the Stanford
freshmen are the three football events
on the Stanford sport calendar for
next Saturday.
The St. Mary's-varsity game will be
Stanford's fourth game of the season.
and on the basis of last Saturday's
victory over the Oregon Aggies, the
Cardinal men look good for a victory.
Bob Evans men are in good shape
at present for the game, and with the
experience - gained against Oregon
they should give a good account of
themselves.
Shanedman, St. Mary's quarterback.
is at present In the hospital from in
juries received in the Olympic club
St Mary's contest, and may not be able
to play Saturday. The St. Mary's line
is considered fairly strong, although
the Winged "O" back succeeded in
plowing through for substantial gains
last week.
The summary of the Oregon game
shows that the Stanford eleven com
pleted five out of seven forward
passes. This shows that with Tem-
pleton's kicks and a fair percentage
of completed forward passes working
together, the varsity will give any of
ts opponents cause to worry about
its goal line. As soon as the backs
are able to make their percentage of
gains through the line, Stanford sup
porters will have a real cause for op
timism over the coming contests this
season. i
The freshman game next Saturday
will also be watched with consider
able interest, as last Saturday the
Davis Farm boys held the University
of California freshmen to a 7-0
score. Thus the game ought to be
able to give the dopesters some idea
of comparison between the Cardinal
and Bruin "babe" teams.
TWO OUT AT

Veteran Fullback and Tackle Will

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,

battle against the University of Idaho
Saturday on Rogers field, according
to a statement by Coach Gus Welch,
who is eager to conserve his veter
ans and move up the reserves in view
of the Season's crucial game with
"Shy" Huntington's Webfooters from
Eugene.
Hamilton injured his knee durirfg
the southern invasion when he at
tempted to make a flying tackle on
the rear coach of the train carrying
the squad to Berkeley. Although five
stitches were made in the wound, the
gritty linesman played the entire
game against the Bears, although his
inability to charge up to form re
sulted in yardage through his posi
tion. Gillis, whose shoulder was
wrenched in the Multnomah game.
will watch the game from the bench
and will be replaced by either Ska-

who plunge the line well, although

Who'll win the big game?
This is the question foremost in the
mind of every football fan. To what
game do we refer? Foolish question
No. 999 for the eyes of the western
football world will focus on Satur
day's clash at Seattle between the two
great northwestern, universities Ore
gon and Washington.
Bitter enemies always, the lemon
and yellow and purple and gold will
be fighting Saturday to eliminate one
or the other in the race for the Pa
cific coast Intercollegiate title, and
the right to battle the best eastern
team as the special feature of the an
nual Tournament of Roses at Pasa
dena New Year's day.
The slogan of both coaches "Shy"
Huntington and Claude ("Jump")
Hunt are, "Win Saturday and then
amear Washington State!" Both elev
ens have to get over Gus Welch's
powerful Pullman club, which tram
pled over California 14 to 0 at Berke
ley last Saturday. Huntington's
fighters settle things with the staters
on Multnomah field November 8, while
Washington and Washington State
wage war on one another at Pullman
November 15.
It -looks like a toss-up at the Sound
city Saturday. You'll get a run for
your money any way you lay it. Ore
gon has already shown her prowess
by swamping the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club team 23 to 0 and giving
Idaho a 27-to-6 trouncing. Coach
"Shy" has a flock of old heads back
and with his freshmen of last year
has moulded together a highly formid
able aggregation.
Hant'a Machine Strong;.
This marks "Jump" Hunt's first sea
son on the coast under normal con
ditions. Even after his team ran up a
couple of big scores on navy teams
the wise boys did not venture any
prediction on just how good his crew
was. However, "Jump" set all doubt
aside last week when the organiza
tion which he has built around sev
eral veterans of Gilmour Dobie ran
up the largest score ever made in the
history of the western college game
on Whitman college.
The final was 120 to 0 and 'tis said
that all that kept "Crumb" Dailey and
the rest of purple and gold backs
from adding additional touchdowns
was the fact that Hunt wanted to
try out a set of new plays and or
dered them run off slowly so that
they could soak Into the craniums of
his pigskin chasers.
Hollis Huntington, veteran fullback
for Oregon, can be depended upon for
consistent yardage gains against any
team. In the Oregon-Idaho game he
scored four of the lemon and yellow
touchdowns.
Steers DnngrroDS Man.
Bill Steers, Oregon quarterback, is
one of the greatest open field runners
on the coast and is a dangerous man
who will have to be watched closely
during the entire game to prevent
him getting away for one of his spec
tacular runs.
"Shy" Huntington's substitute back
field men deserve special mention
and can be depended upon to make a
good showing when sent in the game.
"Skeet" Manerude, 130-pound quarter
back, made three points in the Oregon-Multnomah
game by booting a
pretty dropklck over the bar from the
20-yard line.

PORTLAND LIGHTWEIGHT HAS
CHANCE TO SHOW CLASS.
Bout With Welling in East May
Lead Joe to High Place in
World of Pugdoni.
Joe Benjamin, Portland's contender
for the world's lightweight crown,
will receive an opportunity to battle
himself into the elite class of mitt
men in this country next Tuesday
night, when he is down to clash in an
eight-round bout against Joe Welling
of Chicago, in Newark, N. J.
Benjamin and Welling will meet in
the semi-wlndup of one of the great
est fistic cards ever arranged by the
managers of the now famous Newark
Sportsman's club. Johnny Dundee
will tangle eight rounds with Tommy
Touhey, New Jersey's coming cham
pion. In the main event. Benny Val
gar. featherweight champion of
France, is down to battle ten rounds
with Johnny Drummie, and Augie
Ratner, who recently met Mike
O'Dowd for the middleweight cham
pionship of the world, will meet Sol
dier Bartfield In the first bout on
the card.
Boxing above such stellar lights as
these is an honor even if Benjamin
does not win, and he is considered
to have a good chance to outpoint
Welling. Joe will be outweighed
about 10 pounds, as the Chicago boxer
is a heavy lightweight while Benja
min has never entered the ring weigh
ing more than 134 pounds. Welling
has fought all of the best men in
the game today and Benny Leonard,
lightweight champion of the world,
has repeatedly refused to take him
on.'
Although Harry Casey was defeat
ed at the hands of Joe Rivirs in Se
attle Wednesday night, his manager,
Dan Salt, telegraphed yesterday that
Casey will be in the best of shape
for Frankie Rogers, In their ten-

caught Casey with a hay-maker in
the fifth round and nearly knocked
the Seattle lightweight for a goal.
Casey rallied and got up but was too
far gone to hold his orn in the final
frame and lost the verdict, accord
ing to the dope from the Sound city.
Rogers has keen In Portland sev

Miss Millie Schloth. swimming in
structor in the Portland public
schools, now on a tour of the princi
pal cities of the east, writes an inter
esting letter from New York.
She had. the good fortune of being
at the Old Colony club when the mem
bers of the New York Women's Swim
ming association turned out for prac
tice. Among the national stars whom
she met and watched at work were
Charlotte Boyle, Ethelda Bliebtrey,
Helen Walnwrtght, who placed third
at Detroit in the national women's
diving; Ruth and Eleanor Smith,
backstroke stars, and Alice Lord,
high-diving champion.
One of the most startling bits of
news is the fact that there is not a
ten-foot diving board in the big city
that the divers can use during the
winter.
Louis DeB. Handley of the New
York Athletic club, was coaching a
class' of beginners in the crawl. Miss
Schloth took notice of all the fine
points of this wonderful stroke as
taught by Handley. In using the word
"beginners." It Is not in the sense
that she would ordinarily use, for
there were 20 in the class who showed
such form and speed that it was
worth admission price and war tax
just to watch them.
While In Chicago Miss Schloth vis
ited the school tanks and also those
In Brooklyn. The tanks were small
and not In charge of special instruct
ors as in Portland. The attendance
averaged about the same as here.
Miss Schloth will be in the east an
other month and should bring home
some mighty interesting dope on
swimming as staged in the east.
With the announcement of the an
nexing of Eugene Fields to the Spo
kane Athletic club, word comes of a
general switching around of the
swimming stars of the coast. Eddie
Hart. 1919 junior champion breast
stroke star, formerly of Multnomah
club, and recently with the Oakland
Athletic club, has joined the Los An
geles club. Phil Patterson, diving
star of the Olympic club, also has
joined the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Charles Shields, champion swimmer
of the San Diego Rowing club, has
joined the Olympic club. George
Cunha, formerly of the Oakland club.
is now attending the University of
Pennsylvania, and has signed on the
swimming team. A well-founded ru
mor has It that Stubby Kruger will
go to Pennsy. too.
The east has long wanted Stubby
and there is an attraction there for
him. Norman Ross, now in Honolulu,
rumor has It. was going to Detroit,
then later was to stay on the coast.
Now it's out that an eastern college
Is bidding for him. As Pennsylvania
Is building a strong team, suspicion
is directed there.
The switching of swimmers leads
many to inquire what is the cause. A
swimmer, like everyone else, must
live, and cannot do so on water alone.
Many live towns will see to it that a
swimmer of note gets a good position,
figuring that In so doing it is good
advertising for the town. Portland
might get some of the champs If they
would go about it in the right way.
Multnomah women swimmers in
taking up water polo are not alone in
this game. The women swimmers of
the Neptune club of Alameda have a
team. Thus far the game has not
proved popular in the south.
Miss Olga Dorfner has finally put
the O. K. on the rumor that she had
given up competitive swimming. She
was married on Saturday, and at the
same time announced her retirement.

Now Headed for Sound City for
Final Palaver Over Job.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) Mike Kelly, at present man
ager of the pennant-winning St. Paul
American association team. Is the
probable pilot of the 1920 Rainiers.
The man who brought the St. Paul
club west to meet the coast ch ampions
this fall Is on his way to Seattle to
complete arrangements for the deal,
which will place him In the position
now occupied by Charley Mullen.
Not only wi!l Kelly assume the po
sition as manager, if the veteran
comes to terms with tne Seattle stock
holders, but he will buy. a block of
stock In the team. So anx'c-us was
the middle-wcMern pilot to locate on
the coast tha'. he is will!ng to buy a
half interest in the club. Locai di
lectors say this Is impos:-.'h!-, so Kc!!v
wlll have to be satisfied with a small
Interest.
William Klepper. who was repre
senting the local organization at thi
Pacific. Coast league meeting, dis
cussed the subject with Kelly wnile
In San Francisco and made tentative
arrangements for the St. Paul man to
hanCle the club next season. Th Se
ntric olficn.l is bringing the prospec
tive manager north with him. They
wi.i arrive tomorrow evening, whsn a
meeting will be held by tho directors
and final action taken on the matter.
Kelly is- one of the best-known
managers in the minors. He has a
reputation of being a smart baseball
man who has the faculty of handling
men. which Is where Bill Clymer fell
down. A veteran of the diamoud
game. Kelly would be better able lo
secure players for the local club be
cause of his asooclatlons with eastern
managers.
Right Off the Bat.
REPORT in Three-I league circles
Is that Hannibal and Qulncy
want In the league next year
and it seems pretty certain that an
eight-club circuit can be organised.
The sixe of the cities, however, raise
a question as to how it can claim
class B classification. Hannibal and
(juincy both have good ball parks and
have been supporting independent
teams wel! the past year. Henry
Reidel is back of the movement to
get a franchise for Hannibal.
Here Is some dope showing the
spread of baseball: On the same day
the Saints and Tigers were playing
a game out in Los Angeles. he Pi
rates and the Almandares were play
ing a game in Havana, and up in
Montreal the (Hants were playing a
Canadian Independent team. Not even
weather can stop the old game. It
was near freexing up in Montreal and
the players wore heavy sweaters. In
Cuba and Los Angeles the fans(were
in, tneir snirt sleeves.
m
Fans of Litchfield. 111., celebrated
their annual "Schalk day" with a ball
game on October 19 in which the
White Sox catcher took part as back
stop for his home town team, with
Joe Bennett and Johnny Tobtn pitch
ing. The opposing team was from
the neighboring town of Mt. Olive
and it had Dave Davenport for its
pitcher. Dave was given a fine beat
ing, the score being 9 to 2. Five
thousand people witnessed the game
and there was a big parade with two
brass bands to help stir enthusiasm.
Reports from old Central league
territory are that five cities have
agreed to take franchises in the pro
posed re-organization. The cities and
the franchise holders in each are an
nounced as Grand Rapids, W. T. Mor
rissey; Lansing. James M. Walsh;
Muskegon, A. G. Buffum; Jackson,
John J. McCloskey; Fort Wayne,
George Biemer. The circuit will, be
regarded as completed when the
Richmond franchise Is awarded. K.
W. Dlckerson is to be president of the
league.
Joe Dunn, who managed Blooming
ton to. a pennant in the Three-I
leagua, will be made manager of the
Columbus association team for next
year. President Joe Tinker says he
is going .to have a sure winner next
year, that a large sum of money has
been put at his disposal by the club
owners to get new players. Another
association rumor is that John Gan
mej wants to buy Roger Hresnahan's
stock in the Toledo club and take
over the management of the Mud
hens.. Baseball on the Inside.
WAS the performance, of "Hod"
EUer In striking out nine men
in the fifth game at Chicago, a strike
out record for a world series contest?
No. In the 1911 event between the
New York Giants and the Philadel
phia Athletics. Chief Bender struck
out eleven Giants, and yet lost, 2 to 1.
He whiffed Devore. Murray and Her
xog once, and got Snodgrass. Merkle,
Fletcher and Mathewson twice.
Will you kindly inform us which
man Is out In the following play:
With the bases filled, 'the man on sec
ond runs down to third, the man on
third holding his base, the catcher
throws the ball to the third baseman
who tags both men who are standing
on third. Which man Is out?
The runner who came from second
is out. the moment he Is touched with
the ball. The base always belong!!
to the original occupant, unless he ia
forced to vacate. Standing on the
base exempted the original occupant
from being put out. but gave no pro
tection to the runner who came from
second. He had a right to return to
second if he could before being
touched out.
Kindly explain the following plays
Runners on first and second, one out.
Batter hits infield fly. second base
man makes catch. Before the ball Is
eniiaht. (he runner on second start
fur third, fctta bail way und stops. I
286 Washington
second baseman touches second. Is
man out?
Same play, only second baseman
drops ball, and runner that is between
second and third fccores. loes run
count?
Is infield fly a one-man play?
In the first play the runner origi
nally on second i out the moment
the second baseman with the ball
In his possession touches second. A
runner to advance on a fly ball that
Is caught, must always hold his base
until the completion of the catch.
On the cecond play, the American
and National leagues have different
ruling. Since the batsman is always
out on an infield fly, the American
league regards it In the light of a
caught fly ball, and Insists that the
runners hold their base until the com
pletion of the play. The completion
of the play is the actual catching of
the ball, the muffing of the ball, or
If the ball is not touched, the striking
of the ball on the ground. American
league umpires would allow a double
play, since the runner, according to
their interpretation, failed to hold his
base. In the National league the run
would be allowed, as base runners are
allowed to ad Vance on a muffed In

is not caught.
Don't quite get your question about

If you mean that the man catching
the ball must handle the play to a
completion, no. The play is Just the
same on an infield fly. as on any
other fly ball, any one can take part.
