10 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, 1IONDAY, XOVEMBER 24. 1919. 0.1 c. EASTERN TEAM HERE Bids Sent to Illinois, Notre Dame and Syracuse. BIG 10 SQUAD PREFERRED Aggies Hope to Meet Strong Ma chine on Multnomah Field on Saturday, December 6. ' BY RICHARD R. SHARP. James J. Richardson, general man ager of student activities at Oregon Agricultural college, yesterday dis patched telegrams to the athletic managers of the University of Illi nois, champions of the big ten, middle west conference; Syracuse university, I considered one of the greatest teams i in the east this season and Notre j Lame university, one of the few un- i defeated big elevens of the country, putting up a proposition to them to ; play the fast coming Oregon Aggies on Multnomah field Saturday, De cember 6. It is the hope of the football fans that the University of Illinois will accept the offer to play O. A. G. here because of their victory last Saturday over Ohio State, previously undefeated and considered one of the most power ful football machines of the 1919 season. The showing of the Aggie team against Washington State college on Multnomah field Saturday convinced the gridiron followers that the Cor vallis lads are just hitting their stride. Their physical condition car ried them through Saturday's gruel ling fracas without a single injury, fo that they would be in ideal shape for a post-season intersectiop con test, the result of which would be watched throughout the United States. Cougari Call Off Game. Fred J. Bohler, athletic director at Washington State college, had originally contracted for Syracuse university to play the Cougars on Multnomah field on December 6, but yesterday announced that the game was off as the Pullman aggregation was not in any shape for such a game as would be called for against a team of Syracuse's caliber. A number of the Cougar mainstays are through for the .season while on the other hand the Oregon Aggies, under the watchful eye of Mike H. Butler, veteran trainer, are in ideal shape and have just begun to play real football. financial arrangements are the only bar to the big game coming off on Multnomah field December 6. In choosing Illinois, Syracuse and Notre Dame, Richardson did so with tho idea in mind of landing one of the three best teams of the 1919 sea son. Harvard, the only undefeated eleven of note outside of Notre Dame, is not available for the contest, so it left Illinois. Syracuse and the South Bend, 111, eleven. Richardson left fox Spokane last night with the Oregon Aggie team, where they will tangle with Gonzaga university Thanksgiving day. Final arrangements will be made there with the eastern institutions if a satisfac tory aerreement can be reached. lllnois has lost only one game this season, going down to a 14-to-10 de feat at the hands of the last wiscon Bin eleven. Ohio State managed to de feat Wisconsin, 3 to 0, so taking the scores into consideration, Illinois was rated stronger before they tackled Ohio State Saturday. Wisconsin beat Chicago 10 to 3 Saturday, while earlier in the season Illinois trimmed Chi cago 10 to 0. Michigan went, aown io m, 29-to-7 defeat at the hands of the Big Ten champions. SjraruNf Playlnjc Good Game. Syracuse has been playing wonder ful football this year, but has had its off days, losing two games out of nrne games ;layed this year. Satur day a surprise was registered when Indiana won from them 12 to 6. The only other team to beat Syracuse was Washington and Jnfferson, who tri umphed 13 to 0 the week after the former had walloped Glenn Warner's Pittsburg team 24 to 3. Syracuse registered a most impressive victory when it beat Colgate 13 to 7. Notre Dame has not played the teams that Syracuse has this season, or perhaps 1 1 linois, but has regis tered some impressive victories and has met representative teams. Their victory which now stands out most is the 16-to-3 win over Indiana. Notre Dame beat the army 12 to 9 and scored over Nebraska 14 to 9.

Eugene high is considered as the probable opponents for Jefferson and the con test may be staged on Multnomah field sometime early in December. Jefferson will leave tomorrow for an invasion of eastern Oregon to play the Baker high team at Baker on turkey day. From Baker the Demo crats will make the jump to John Day, where they are scheduled on Saturday, November 29. If they return victorious, Jefferson will have de feated two of the best teams in east ern Oregon and a game with the Eu gene high eleven would be the logi cal means of deciding the state title. Tomorrow afternoon James John and Columbia will play their last game of the season while on Wednes day Lincoln and Washington will meet in their annual gridiron contest.

The Cougars . will not return t6 Pullman and studies but are en route to Missoula, where they will battle the Montana Grizzlies on Thanksgiv ing day in the final game of the sea Bon. The game is a northwest con ference clash, but Coach Gus Welch of the Cougars has announced his Intention to play his eecond stringers and thereby give them a bit of expe rience for next season.

Poast baseball leasrue are to be sold or traded, it was announced here today by William Klepper, presi dent of the club. Klepper and Clyde Wares, the club's new manager, are going east soon to try to obtain five or six major league players for next year's team. The five Seattle men to be disposed of are Jimmy Walsh, Jack Knight. Ed Sweeney, Mike Kegan ana uus Gleichmann. In TITLE TO Honor Will Go to Southerners Case of Victory, but toss Will Eliminate Bears. The question as to which eleven will represent the Pacific coast in the big contest during the tourna ment of roses in Pasadena on New Year's day will probably be decided n Seattle Thanksgiving oay by the outcome of the game between the University of Washington and the University of California. If California registers a victory over Washington it will rate the trip and honor of meeting the eastern representative at Pasadena. On the other hand, if the University of Washington scores a victory over California the Bears will be elimin ated, having lost to. Washington State college 14 to 0. A victory for the purple and gold over Andy Smith s Bruins will put Oregon in a position where the Pasa dena committee will be forced to pick that team as it did in 116 to defend the western slope's honor in the annual intersectional clash. At this time in addition to generally being considered the best football team in the west, Oregon's record gives it a just claim. A Washington victory over California will permit Jump" Hunt's husky aggregation to finish . the season with two Pacific coast conference victories and one defeat. The same standing in the percentage column has mighty Oregon. But the lemon-yellow licked the Puget sound men 24 to 13, and out played them. "Shy" Huntington's team s one loss was a bard-breaking one. or when the Cougars tripped them up here two weeks, ago they were outplayed by the Eugene crowd in every department of the game, the ball being in Pullman territory most of the time, Welch's line holding on the two-yard line on two different occasions. In addition to this Oregon has a northwest conference win over Idaho, 27 to 6. True, Hunt's team beat Whitman 120 to 0. but the Walla Walla men only averaged 158 pounds and were not formidable op-onents. Steelier Throws Draak Twice.- KEARNEY, Neb., Nov. 23.

At the meeting of the tournament of roses football committee in Pasa dena last week nothing definite was done towards signing up either an eastern or western team and only tentative plans for arranging with institutions were discussed. The meeting was to have started off with a banquet and ended with the business but evidently started and ended as a banquet. This year the committee has watched the work of Illinois, Ohio State, Pittsburg, Harvard, Colgate, Syracuse, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and Notre Dame. Illinois, Harvard. Syracuse and Notre Dame are the teams that have the edge and as the result of Satur day's victory over Ohio State, Illinois may be the team selected. It seems impossible to get Harvard to make the trip as the policy of the univer sity does not encourage such pro cedure. The Multnomah Amateur Athletic club squad went through a strenuous two-hour session of practice on Mult namoh field yesterday morning get ting -in shape for Oregon Thursday afternoon here. Coach Philbrook had his machine going through the paces like a clock yesterday and the men are .working with a vengeance for the game. The first eleven is showing up well in practice and looks better than at any time during the season. The players are showing some real spirit and are getting in on the plays as if they meant business. GOLF CLUB PLANS DAXCE Party Also Will Be Held Saturday xight nexu The Portland Golf club will stage a Thanksgiving dance and party at the. clubhouse next Saturday night, No vember 19. C. C. Wintermute. chairman of the house committee, is handling the ar rangements for the affair and prom ises one grand time. Wintermute has already signed up the jazziest jazz orchestra he could find and will have the clubhouse attractively decorated for the first big social event of the season at the Portland Golf club. A buffet supper will be served. A turkey tournament will hold the attention of the golfers at the Raleigh station links today. Little play was recorded on the Portland Stacy Hamilton, chairman of the Multnomah Athletic club handball committee, has announced that Will Ranft of the Los Angeles Athletic club and holder of the National A. A. U. handball championship and George Klawiter, one of the other top-notch-ers of the Los Angeles club, will ar rive here today. A double match has been scheduled between the Los Angeles men and two - of the Multnomah club crack players for Wednesday night, before the big boxing and wrestling tourna ment. Two singles matches are on the boards for Friday evening. No vember 28. at 7:30 P. M. Multnomah club will be represented by two of its best players, as deter mined by a tournament now being played. Ray Watkins, the old club champion, undoubtedly will be one of the players as he is getting back into fine form. Considerable Interest is being shown at the club in this event, as it is the first inter-club affair in the handball line which has been staged here. Handball is a prominent sport in both clubs, and the Los Angeles fans undoubtedly will be watching the out come with as much interest as is shown here. Unfortunately the seatin g capacity of the galleries In the Multnomah courts is rather limited. Ten two singles matches on Friday night are going to be staged at the same time in order to give the largest number of fans an opportunity to see at least one of the matches. The club will charge an admission sufficient to defray the expenses the Los Angeles men in coming up here. On account of the limited seat ing -capacity the demand for ticket probably will exceed the- supply. Tickets are on sale at the club office. Harry Eddus Rates Patterson of Olympic Club as Best Driver Ever Seen Here. BY HARRY EDDAS. Happy Kuehn. diving In the suit of Multnomah club,' won the national junior diving title in a field of five other contestants in the club tank Saturday night. Eugene Field, ex- Los Angeles star, but dlvinrr for Spo kane, took second honors, with Pat terson of Olympic club third. Patterson showed himself to be the best diver competing. He was mak ing circles around the others when in his two and a half front he hit the. water flat, thus losing the junior title. Patterson was a revelation to the divers and fans of the city, no prettier ctiver ever having been seen in competition here.- Patterson is pupil of Syd Cavill, famous as coach or the Olympic club. ieids and Pinkston both Droved memseives divers of the first e-rari i he visitors all were better divers than the local boys. Much dissatisfaction resulted from ine awaraing or first honors to tt.uenn. - ihe visitors declared that the Multnomah judges were not fair and telegraphed their respective clubs and coacnes to this effect.

Personally, in the diving meet at the Multnomah club on si,.,ji,. night, 1 had Patterson leading until he missed on his two and a half front Pinkston running close second and Fields third; Patterson, following his miss, dropping to third and Pinkston and Fields rising to first and second respectively. Smead of Multnomah performed wonderfully well, claiming second iiuuura among ine local boys. Don Striker performed well, although he jma iiui quite overcome- n nitting tne board, as he did n a spring Southern League Meeting Set. - MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 23. The Southern league's big issue to come up at the annual meeting here on De cember 15 will be the number of "vet erans" to be allowed on a club. Last season not more than seven men who had previously played in class A could be used under the league rule. Some of the club magnates and most of the managers and fans think such a rule lowered the class of ball played and they advocate a 15-piayer limit, with ten of the number men who have played class A ball previous to 1920. There is a strong faction that will stick for the rule as it stands, how ever. Bob Allen, who Is lining up a team of youngsters without previous professional experience for next year, is strong for the rule and thinks he can so shape things under it that Lit tle Rock will win the pennant next year. . White Salmon 5 9, Stevenson 0. WHITE SALMON. Wash., Nov. 23. (Special.) The White Salmon high school football team defeated the high school team from Stevenson here by a score of 59 to 0.

Colorado Aggies' Title Safe. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 23.

The junior racine nv-nu t.-A Multnomah had some mighty fine ma terial in its aquatic department. Vic tor Leslie was the lunior RhntL-inD up best in the events for the vounir- sters. The 100-yard senior race was the best on the programme and o r ford, Multnomah's distance man, sprung a surprise when he won the century sprint from Enegrene and Wilsey. The time was slow in com parison to former meets. The 50-yard, won by Wilsey, was battle between himself and Ene grene, in which both finished closely. The 50 also was made in poor time. The night-gown race brought the house down, with Lindstrom in his lace-bedecked nightie winning easily from Morehouse and Hosford. Water-Polo Game Is Poor. The water-polo game scheduled be tween the two teams of Multnomah proved poor, each player s motto be ing "every man for himself." Much time was wasted by fouling and much time and. effort wasted by tho players trying to make long throws at the goal. Only those goals thrown from close range passed the goal tender. Patterson's team won with four goals to Hosford's three. The visiting divers left town yes terday, Pinkston going to Corvallis in the afternoon and Patterson and Fields going to San Francisco and Spokane respectively. Multnomah women's water-polo team has disbanded before it even had a chance to play a game. Pinkston. the Xan ri.go diver com peting in the -livinar Saturday night, was the winner of the'national junior tumbling title at the Panama-Pacific International exposition at San Fran cisco in 1915. The national 440-yard relay swim and the national water-polo meet will J be staged at tbe same time in San Francisco. This is made necessary owing to the fact that it will requiro several thousands of dollars to tage the water-polo meet alone. The Illi nois Athletic club Is the holder of both titles and relay swimmers are mem bers of the plo team. This will avoid the bringing of the men to 'he coasL twice. bination working and the team strong for this time of the year. Bierhalter Trains Browns. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 23.
