PASADENA. Cal., Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) For the second consecutive
time Oregon has been asked to do
battle for the west against the east.
It was the Oregon team that licked
Pennsylvania 14 to 0 on the occasion
of the last intercollegiate east vs.
west contest New Tear's day, 1917.
Shortly after a telegram was re
ceived this morning from Dean Le
baron R. Biggs, chairman of the
Crimson Athletic council, in which
ft was said that the Cambridge school
had reconsidered the situation in view
of improved fuel conditions and
would come west to the Tournament
.of" Roses. The football committee
met, but it was not until 2 P. M. that
Oregon was picked over the Univer
sity of Washington.
The University of Southern Cali
fornia had previously withdrawn.
'Rimer Henderson, formerly of the
Seattle Broadway high school and a
ery fair-minded chap, declared that
the two northern institutions of
learning deserved more consideration
because of having played through
heavier schedules.
Up until a late hour tonight no
acknowledgment had been received
f the invitation to Oregon. The
Pasadena committee expects a fav
orable reply tomorrow.
: UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene, Dec. 11. (Special.) Official
notification was received at the uni
versity this afternoon that the Ore
son football team had been selected
to play against Harvard university
Mt Pasadena on New Year's day, in
telegrams to President P. L. Camp
bell and Graduate-Manager Marion
WcClain. The text of the telegram
received by President Campbell from
Pasadena is as follows:
"Tournament of Roses committee
cordially invites you to send your
best eleven to play Harvard univer
sity New Year's day at Pasadena, on
terms similar to those governing your
previous contest here. Please notify,
us of acceptance immediately and a
formal contract will be sent you."
The telegram was signed by W. L.
Irishman, president of the Tourna
ment of Roses committee.
The news that Oregon was selected
to play was received with joy by
Coach Shy Huntington, Trainer Bill
Hayward, Assistant Coach Bart Spell
xuan and the members of the team.
Immediately after the receipt of the
telegrams a meeting of the faculty
of the university was called, and con
sent was given for the team to make
the trip to Pasadena. Faculty con:
sent was necessary before a post
eason game could be arranged.
Flayer Work In Snow.
Fifteen minutes after the invita
tion had been accepted by the uni
versity officials, 24 members of the
varsity squad were out on old Kin
caid field practicing. The field was
covered with eight inches of snow.
In spite of the frigid weather condi
tions hero, daily practice will be held
from now on to prepare the team
forthe big intersectional contest.
On Bill Hayward, Orego'n veteran
trainer, will fall the greatest load
of work in the team's preparation
lor the biggest football clash ever
staged in the west. With but three
weeks before the contest Hayward
is starting the almost superhuman'
task of whipping a team into the best
of physical condition, as it must be
before it can be lined up against the
powerful Harvard eleven.
Every member of the Pacific coast
championship eleven is in good con
dition except for the staleness which
lias come during the past weeks of
inactivity due to the prolonged in
decision of the Pasadena officials.
1UU Hayward was doubtful this after
noon as to whether or not Oregon
would be in suitable condition as only
three weeks of practice are left. He
eaid. however, "if Harvard can do it,
"sve can do it."
Shy Huntington was all for the big
frame. "The faculty Is for it, the team
Is for it, and I am for it.' 'he said.
Everybody Is Jubilant.
Every member of the Oregon eleven
vas jubilant over their selection. Cap
tain Everett Brandenburg voiced the
sentiment of the team this afternoon
when he said: "I'm all for it." It is
probable that the team will leave
shortly for Pasadena in order to be in
the eouth for training and practicing.
To attempt to get the team in shape
Jhere is almost an impossibility, as a
iieavy mantle of snow rests all over
the city and shows no signs of disap
pearing. The Oregon campus was hilarious
tonight following the receipt d' the
Invitation. The decision is a popular
one here, and it is assumed that Ore
gon's record for the season haa left
no doubt In the minds of the Pacific
coast critics that it has the most log
ical eleven to represent the west, and
Oregon's record in 1916, when they
defeated the much-tauted University
of Pennsylvania eleven, substantiates
that belief.

committee of the tournament of roses,
was hailed with joy by the many
football fans of Portland and follow
ers of Coach "Shy" Huntington's
Lemon-Yellow machine.
The University of Oregon will meet
Harvard, the representative team jot
the east in the third annual clash.
That the football committee would
select Oregon when It came to a
showdown has been a foregone con
clusion here, although the University
of Washington and the University of
Southern California threatened for a
time to edge out the Eugene grldders.
Another thing has always been a
certainty in the minds of the football
followers and that is the worthiness
of the Oregon team to represent the
vest in the most talked of game of
the year, in country-wide football
circles. The overwhelming defeat ot
T-he University of Washington team
by Oregon, the latter scoring ' a 24
to 13 victory, should have made clear
without a question the relative
strength of the two elevens. Al
though it was denied In the north
that any one connected with the col
lege made an effort to land the game
for the purple and gold, it is known
that some mighty husky wires were
pulled in an attempt to secure . the
honor.
As soon as Graduate Manager Mar
ion McClain at the University of Ore
gon received the telegram from Pasa
dena to the effect that Oregon had
been selected he immediately got In
touch with Coach "Shy" Huntington
and Trainer Bill Hayward. All of
the players have been keeping up
fairly strict training rules and tne
men will not be found out of shape.
Although the football committee
of the tournament of roses came very
late with the announcement of the
two aggregations that would tangle
New Year's day, they have not been
neglecting preparations for their own
benefit. Additional grandstands for
the contest have been under construc
tion for several weeks, which, when
completed, will completely enclose the
field at Pasadena and give it the as
pect of a stadium. There will be
seats for 23,000 people. Admission
prices have yet to be fixed by the
tournament association.
Tho thousands of football bugs who
will go to Pasadena for the game will
have to pay war tax when purchas
ing tickets, despite the fact that it
is a game between two college teams.
Intercollegiate football is exempt
from war tax, because all proceeds
are used for educational purposes.
Money derived from the New Year's
day classic goes to the tournament
fund, and the association found Itself
unable to have the war tax lifted.
W. S. Klenholz will be the Pasa
dena committee's choice as referee for
the big game. Kienholz is the most
prominent football official In Cali
fornia and refereed the game between
Oregon and Pennsylvania on New
Year's day In 1916. He is agreeable
to Oregon and there Is little likeli
hood of the necessity of having an
eastern or middle - western man
brought out for the Job.
It will be remembered that Walter
Eckersall was brought from Chicago
for the Washington State-Brown
game on the first day of 1916. The
Pasadena committee did not want to
bring Eckersall to the coast, for It
involved the expenditure of a good
deal of money, but Coach Dietz of the
Pullman outfit insisted on an eastern
man.
BIG LEGION MEET PLAXSED
San Diego May Be Scene of Mon
ster Athletic Programme.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Dec. 11. San
Diego will be the scene of a monster
amateur and professional athletic
meet next fall If the plans of the
American Legion are carried out. The
San Diego tournament Is to be an
annual affair, commencing November
1 and 2, and finishing on Armistice
day, November 11. In addition to
athletic events an . aviation meet. In
eluding racing events for both land
and sea planes, will be conducted.
The legion is to become a powerful
(actor in athletics in the United
tates.
The plan launched calls for the divi
sion of the nation into eight American
Legion athletic zones, with a regional
director in charge of each, and a
6eries of eliminations in each zone,
the champions to meet in the finals at
San Diego next fall In what the le
gion officials declare, will be the
greatest athletic tournament ever
staged in America.
The work of organizing each of
these zones for participation in base
ball, boxing, wrestling, track and field
sports, football, bowling, tennis and
golf will proceed at once.
WILLAMETTE
IS
JUBILANT
Entry Into Xorthwest Conference
Celebrated at Rally.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Dec. 11. (Special.) Yesterday's
chapel service was turned over to
Yell King Flegel. and a big demon
stration was held celebrating Willam
ette's admittance into the northwest
conference in athletics.
Between yells and songs. Coach
Mathews made an announcement of
the season's basketball schedule, while
Captain Wapato and Ray Attebury,
chairman of the interclass rivalry
committee, spoke for the whole
hearted support of the stndent body
In taking up conference athletics.
All-Pacific Coast Center Is Re
warded for "Inspiration to
Team" Schedule Is Fixed.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Dec 11. (Special.) The cur
tain was rung down on the football
season Friday night by students of
the university and athletes were hon
ored at the annual university ball. '
Unless a last-minute change in
opinion comes from the rose tourna
ment committee at Pasadena, gridiron
suits will be "laid away for the win
ter and thoughts will be directed to
basketball, wrestling and other win
ter sports. Campus opinion has it
that Washington would probably
have been favored as the opponent of
an eastern team if energy had been
dii cted.in that channel before.
It was not until the night of the
football banquet that real efforts
were made to cinch the contest. Then
influential alumni and citizens, in
cluding the mayor of Seattle, sent re
quests for consideration to the south
land. Ted Faulk Elected Captain.
At the banquet given in honor of
the gridiron heroes Ted Faulk, end
star and choice of all coast sports
writers for the mythical all-star Pa
cific coast team, was elected captain
of the Northmen for the 1920 season.
"Sandy" Wick, all-Pacific coast selec
tion for center, won the Flaherty
medal, given each year to the athlete
who supplies the most inspiration to
the team.
Wick was handicapped during the
latter part of the season by injuries
received In the Oregon game. In the
Thanksgiving day tangle with Cali
fornia he was forced to retire after
12 minutes of stellar performance.
A cloud of dissension has been lift
ed from the campus, following Cali
fornia's apology for the accusation
made that the Washingtonians flood
ed the gridiron previous to the de
cisive game, thereby making It too
muddy for the execution of the Bears'
trick plays. A thaw Thanksgiving
morning brought the moisture to the
top of the field, leaving a hard sur
face underneath. Unaccustomed to
the action of thaw and' freezing, the
southerners made the charge on the
impulse of the moment. Now rela
tions will be continued between the
two universities and a threatened rup
ture has been averted.
Three Home Games Scheduled.
As a result of the conference meet
ing in Seattle, Washington has ob
tained a favorable football schedule
for next sea'son. Three home games
are on the list. The intercollegiate
season will open October 9, with the
customary Whitman game.
Two weeks later the Oregon Aggies
will invade Seattle and a fortnight
following Stanford and Washington
will meet In the first game. On No
vember 13 the only trip of the season
will be made. Then Washington will
tangle with Oregon at Eugene. The
Pullman game will be played in Seat
tle on Thanksgiving day.
Strong opposition against the Pasa
dena games developed at the meeting
of conference executives. It was
held that the Tourament of Roses
bases its claims to fame on the foot
ball game entirely, with the roses as
a secondary attraction. The expenses
of the two teams are paid, the rest of
the proceeds going to the Tournament
of Roses. It was on this commercial
aspect that the opposition was direct
ed. Hereafter the conference will
select which eleven is eligible to play
the championship game, while the
contest itself will be managed by the
host college. The decision, however,
will have no bearing on the game
this year.
Gotch Defeats Baker.
SAN PEDRO, CaL, Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) Young Gotch. middleweight
wrestler, defeated Kid Baker in two
out of three falls here tonight. Baker
won the first fall in 16 minutes. Gotch

WASHINGTON IS SATISFIED
Selection of Lemon-Yellow No Sur
prise on Sound.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) The choice of Oregon to op
pose Harvard in the Pasadena game,
announced today, was no surprise to
Seattle football followers. And under
the existing conditions, the selection
was probably the best that could be
xnade.
The delay of the southern officials
to choose the western team, together
with the uncertainty as to whether
the crimson team would come west,
took the edge off of the interest
here. The players of Hunt's team,
sriving up hope of Harvard coming
west, have given no thought as to
.training, and even should Washington
ihRve been chosen it is improbable
that the Seattle university would

Carry on Fight.
ASHLAND. Or., Cec. 11. (Special.)
A movement to close the Rogue river
to commercial fishing and save for
Oregon one of its greatest attractions
for the tourist sportsmen steelhead
fishing In the Rogue, which is
acknowledged to be one of the best
steelhead streams in this country, is
being backed by the Ashland Rod and
Gun club. An active campaign has
added scores of members to the club's
roll.
The Rogue fish fight has been car
ried into the state legislature and
by referendum to the people of Ore
gon on numerous occasions. The local
anglers and other far-sighted busi
ness men are determined" to carry the
fight to a finish. Anglers claim that
the nets of the commercial fisher
men in the lower river prevent the
gamey steelhead from ascending to
the upper reaches.

JOHNSON STILL TARGET
NEW YORK CLUB WANTS BAN

NEW YORK, Dec 11. Retaliating

owners supporting him, the New York
club of the American league today
started legal machinery in motion- to
oust Johnson from the league presi

As a preliminary step a telegram
was dispatched to Johnson in Chi
cago advising him that it regards his
contract with the league abrogated
anc. forbids him to use the league
funds for compensation.
The telegram follows:
"In view of your reported viola
tions of the constitution of the league
and your fiduciary obligations, in
cluding your actions directed to In
jury and punishment of the New York
club, and In view of yesterday's ac
tion of board of directors adverse to
your claim of contract with American
league, and. in view of yesterday s re
fusal of American league to elect a
president, secretary or treasurer, the
New York club regards as abrogated,
terminated and expired any contract
of employment or for compensation
which you claim to have between you
and it or between you and the league,
and forbids the use of any portion of
the funds of the league in which it la
interested in payment of any compen
sation to you under any such con
tract. We add that your claim of the
existence of any such alleged contract
is erroneous.

New York."
In an effort to prove it was the
Johnson faction which prevented a
reconciliation. Colonel T. L. Huston,
half owner of the Yankees, and Harry
Frazee, president of the Boston Amer
icans, tonight gave out the tentative
agreement of compromise which they
submitted to Frank Navin, president
of the Detroit club, at a meeting held
here last Sunday.
The agreement in short asked for
the following terms:
A new board of directors to be se
lected, to consist of two members
from each faction. Comiskey of Chi
cago. Rupert of New York. Mack of
Philadelphia, and Navln of Detroit.
President Johnson to have no vote
as ex-offlcia member of the board
of directors.
Navin to agree to absent himself
from any meeting of the board of
directors or of the league at the joint
request of Ruppert, Frazee and Com
iskey, thus defeating a quorum, and
making it Impossible for either side
to get the worst of it.
The entire league to attend the
meeting called in New York on De
cember 10 and to acknowledge the
right of the directors to . call such
meeting. The meeting to be of a
routine nature, at the close of which
the eight club owners were to meet
in an informal meeting of conciliation
to thresh out the questions confront
ing the league and looking for a
harmonious settlement. Johnson to
attend such a meeting if he cared to.
All of the rulings of the board of
directors to be recognized by the
league, the Mays case to be considered
settled and dropped.
Prseident Johnson, accompanied by
James Dunn of Cleveland, left here
for Chicago this afternoon. John
son had nothing to say on the base
ball question.
