REED CLASS PLAY STARTS DAKS The first state interscholastic bas Icetball championship tournament which was staged under the auspices of the University of Oregon last year will not go into the discard as the result of the rule adopted that none of the colleges hold high school cham pionship meets. It is the present plan of George A. Anderson, basketball chairman of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, to Invite all of the undefeated state in terscholastic teams to compete in a tournament which will be staged in conjunction with the first annual Pa cific association basketball champion ship tournament at Multnomah club some time in March. The University of Oregon and Ore gon Agricultural college scheduled various state interscholastic events in 1918 and the first of this year out of which arose quite a squabble over Blight unpleasantries. As a result it was decided that in the future there would be no attempt made to stage interscholastic championships or events billed as such at any of the Institutions. The state basketball tournament would be a great success i' the Mult' nomah club should take the event over and provide a way to settle the state title. The Lincoln high school team journeyed to Eugene last year and won the highest honors, defeat ing all of its opponents in a most successful tournament. Basketball practice at the various high schools and prep schools of the city is rapidly getting under way. The coaches are anxious to get a line on the prospects for the coming year and have been putting the hoopers through preliminary workouts. It is the intention of those in charge of DasKeiDau at me bl-iiuuio lu scl " much practice as possible before the halls of learning are closed for the Christmas holidays. The Hill military cadets commenced their practice the first of the week. Dr. Harry Estes, an overseas service man and a graduate of an eastern college, is coaching the cadets. Seven letter men of last year who have turned out for practice at Hill mili tary academy are Tom Pollard, Har old Dagg. Irving Day, Russel Page, Richard Ball, Harold Robinson and Homer Heyden. Several new men who have turned out and who are good prospects are George Austin, Mac Brown, Gilbert Conley, Willis Garvin. Wilson Goodrich, Gilbert Hebe. Wilson Parks, Everett Roth rock, Herb Johnson, 'William Hart man, Edward McManus, Evans Mea gher and Newton Phillips. Coach Dr. Estes says he will soon have his charges in shape and expects them to make a good showing in ythe coming race for the 1920 championship. Benson Tech is another of the schools to get an early start on the basketball season. With the comple tion of the new gymnasium at Benson the candidates for the team immedi ately began practice. Billy Bryan, who made such a good showing with the football team at Benson, will also coach the basketball team. Bryan has several good players to start a cham pionship five.

Swett was the big gun in the first half, with six field baskets, and Cap tain Irle a close second with four. The juniors made only three points during the first half. The second period went heavily to the seniors. The team's passing was the best seen at the Reed gym for some time. Foley, Robinson and Workman worked hard for the losers.

CHRISTMAS CONTEST OFF CORVALLIS AUTHORITIES OP POSE NOTRE DAME GAME. Players Would Be Required- to Keep In Training During Examina tion Period, Say Faculty. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 3. (Special.) The Oregon Aggies' football team will not play the Notre Dame eleven in Portland on Christmas day. This was the edict of the college authori ties regarding the contemplated post season trame as announced today.

Those challenged were the university of Illinois, Syracuse and Notre Dame. Illinois, by virtue of a rule of the big ten conference, is not allowed to participate in post season games and declined the invita tion. Syracuse also was unable to accept. Notre Dame ' advised it was unable to play on the day designated by the Aggies, but suggested the game be played on Christmas day. Members of the team will meet this week, at which time a captain for the 1920 season will be selected. NOTRE DAME. Ind., Dec. 3.

Pacific Coast light weight champ, will have his hands full Thursday night when he tackles "Puggy" Norton, the tough Los An geles boring-in scrapper, before the Eagles' club. Morton has been going well in training, and the fans like his style. They see in Schuman a clever boxer, who will go against a rugged scrapper. That is Morton's type, and he fights the whole distance. Eddie Hammond Is matched with Sailor Woods for the second six-round bout on the card. Woods has fought Battling Ortega, Frankie Jones. Wild Woolly Webb and the best of the southern crop. Three four-round bouts open the show. Abel Defeats Moran. 'ATLANTA, Ga.. Dec. 3. Jake Abel, welterweight champion of the A. E. F and of the Pacific coast, laid claim to the southern title Tuesday when he outpointed Vic Moran. southern welter champion, of New Orleans, in a ten-round contest. Abel will meet Benny Leonard hero on December 2 in a ten-round bout. SENIORS DEFEAT JUNIORS BASKETBALL CONTEST. Three new infielders are to gambol in Oakland costumes next season. To be more exact two of them will be new and the other one will be Rollie Zeider, who wi-1 bring back to the league the same old nose, but an as sortment of bunions that he didn't have when he went away. Zeider is slated to play second base and get himself ready to tcke the job of manager when Del Howard gets ready to quit and be a rich, but hon est farmer. "Red" Wise, purchased from Toledo, will succeed Rod Murphy at third base for the Oaks, Rod having been sold to faeattl. Louis Guisto it to return to Cleveland and right now Cal Ewing is grappling after a first baseman. He has a deal pending, whicu he hopes to close within a few days. In volving the trading of Billy Lee, the outfielder, who was sent to Omaha last season. If Lee does not figure in this trade he will be used in another deal de signed to bring a catcher to the Oaks. Rowdy Elliot is -up on the auc tion block. If nobody wants to buy him he may go on the chopping block it being certain that as far as the Oaks are concerned Rowdy's head will come off. Ewing figures that he has plenty of outfie.ders and he is satisfied with Sammy Bohne at short. Four men will complete his team . first baseman to succeed Guisto. a catcher to divide tl.e backstop work with Mitze and two regular he-pitchers. "Judjo" McCredie has found it im possible to secure waiverj on Pitcher Carroll Jones and Outfielder Jack Farmer, all of which is important if true. Jones helped the Beavers but little last year as his salary arm went on the brink when the season was just getting well under way. Farmer is a valuable man and would be a welcome addition to almost any ciuo in tne coast league. The deal for "Babe" Pinelli, former third baseman for Sacramento, who wa drafted by the i:ew Yorl. Ameri cans to go to Detroit, has Just been completed. It would not be an al together surprising thing if "Babe' finally lai-ded with the Beavers again, whence he got his first start several seasons ago. Manager Walter Mc Credie can use a good infielder and has one coming from Detroit. If "Babe does not work up to snuff in the big show look for him with Portland. The Yankees ow ed Detroi a player for sending Willie Mitchell to the vernon club. Zinn Beck, Vernon third sacker, has just about concluded arrangements i the east to handle a club in the South Atlantic league. He will have to get his release from Vernon and it looks as if the Tigers may get an option on that club for turning Beck over. "Vinegar" Bill Essick, manager the Vernon 1919 champions, has signed a young Seattle semipro named R. R. Blossom. Bill saw Blossom work when he was a bud in Seattle and think highly of the youngster. Charley Graham, manager of th San Francisco Seals, has announced the signing of Roy Corhan for field captain for next season. The latter Is one of the greatest infield veterans of the league, and around third base and shortstop there are none better than Roy in the minor leagues. Gra ham also has announced Justin Fitz gerald will be used only as a pinch hitter next season. "Fitz" is a great hitter and always has finished above .300 in the Coast league. In running bases he is far better than the aver age player, but his arm has held him back from being valued as a big leaguer. President Klepper and Manager Wares of the Seattle team seem to be enthused about goins east to pick up players for the Siwash club. Charley Graham and J. Cal Ewing were in the east attending the baseball gathering of minor league magnates, but as yet nothing more than one or two deals have been announced. Ballplayers are not so easy to find as Klepper and Wares may believe. The report that Harry Wolter may be traded by the Sacramento team has been taken seriously by many of the Sacramento fans and sporting writers of the Pacific coast. The scribes say if Rodgers wants to trade Harry he can do it in a minute, as almost every team in the league would be glad to step out of their way to get a bats man who slammed the ball at a .329 clip last season. Wolter is rated as one of the smartest players in the Coast league and the baseball critics look to see the managers of the league rush with fancy offers- after his services. Among the Sacramento fans there is much objection voiced to the trading of Wolter. Harry is a favorite there and his hitting and throwing won many games for the Senators last season. Should Wolter go next season it will break up what was regarded as the best outfield of the league last season, in Middleton, Eldred and Wolter. GRESHAM LOSES ONE CONTEST Hood Rirer Alone Defeats Team During 1919 Season. GRESHAM. Or., Dec. 3. (Special.) The Gresham high school finished its football season by defeating Can- by high school. 58 to 0. The Gresham high turned out this year the most successful team In fiva years. The team won six games out of seven, defeating the High School of Com meres Camas (Wash.), twice. Wash ougal. Forest Grove and Canby high, and losing to Hood River. Gresham's rival. Estacada. would not play the annual game th. year. Whether Gresham is too strong for Estacada is not known. Gresham had a strong and heavy team this year, the average weight being about 160 pounds. The quar terback proved to be the star of the season. Tne team win nave prac tically the same lineup next season and no doubt wtil be well up in the race for championship honors. Angels Sign Backstop. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Dec. 3. Clin ton Wolgamot of Bisbee. Ariz., has signed a contract as catcher with the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league. Wolgamot played last season with the San Antonio club of the Texas league. w -t . . . Why? The answer is ' "just enough Turkish" Fatirna steadily outsells the straight Turkish cigarettes because in Fatima's famous ' blend the heaviness of "too much Turkish" is entirely-absent. Even if a man smokes more than usual, Fatimas tasta right and leave him feeling right. In a word, Fatima contains neither too much nor too little, but "just enough Turkish." Prove it for yourself. Try smoking just enough Turkish. ALBANY MAN RE ELECTED I.. G. LEVELLING CONTINUES AS GAME ASSOCIATION' HEAD. I Reports on Activities of Past Tear Are Heard at Annual Meeting of Santiam Body. .

I Both the North Santiam and South Santiam rivers and their tributaries j were reported to be practically de t pleted of fish and need restocking I badly. The work in that direction in the past year has accomplished some good, but more planting is hela necessary. It was announced that a govern ment hunter and trapper will worK in the Santiam national forest next spring to try ,and rid the forest of predatory animals. He will begin work In March or April. The -report of Mr. Hall showed that grouse are plentiful in the woods of I Linn county and that bear are plen leMs-S-fr- era II M0" K , if Am J' ' r-f tiful in the mountains. There are also from 12 to 20 elk in the limits of the Santiam forest. In his address Mr. Shoemaker an nounced that the state fish and game commission had adopted a policy ol holding all birds raised on the state game farms near Corvallis and Eu gene until spring, instead of turning them loose at the end of the hunt ing season as was formerly the case.
