12 TIIE MORSTXG OREGOXIAN, S ATXTRD AT, ' DECEEBER 13, 1919. TWO FULL SQUADS TO J OURHEY SOUTH Oregon Gridders Head for Pasadena December 19. "SHY" TO HAVE TWO AIDES Johnny Beckett and "Brick" Mitch ell Expected to Help Lemon Yellow for Harvard Combat UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Dec. 12. (Special.) Formal accept ance of the invitation extended Ore gon to play Harvard New Year's day at Pasadena has been wired to the Pasadena tournament of roses com mittee, by Graduate Manager Marion McClain, following action by officials here In giving their consent to the game. Plans now made by Coach "Shy" Huntington are to the effect that two full teams, with the possi ble addition of a few substitutes, will leave Eugene on December 19 in a special car for Pasadena. In the meantime practice in the snow is being continued and in view of the frigid weather conditions, hard workouts are to be held daily until the team departs. Cotton gloves were purchased for all the men today and tonight's workout included more handling of the frozen sphere than was indulged in last night. "He's working us hard," is the way one of the members of the team described the stiff course "Shy" is putting the men through. No additions will be made to the coaching staff until the men reach the south, where Huntington expects Johnny Beckett and "Brick" Mitchell to join the coaching crew. Johnny Beckett, famous tackle of the 1916 team, which defeated Pennsy Ivania State at Pasadena, and who is now Btationed at Mare Island with the marines, will take charge of the line and "Brick" Mitchell, end on the same team, who has been coaching the Stanford freshman eleven, probably will help Beckett with the ends. Coach Not Worried. When asked how he would get a line on the Harvard style of play without eastern aid. Coach Hunting ton replied that that matter worried him but little. He intimated that in some way he already had become fa miliar with Harvard's system, but beyond saying that Harvard had used the same style of play for several years, would give out but little. "Their system of coaching is such that the method used by one coach is very much like that used by the coach who succeeds him. Anyone who knew their style of play several years ago should know it now. The men are all In good condition," said "Shy." " 'Spike' Leslie's foot is not quite In the best of shape, but it will be all right by the time we reach the south," he said. Huntington refuted the statement made some time ago by "Washington followers, that he had been keeping his men practicing during the last few weeks in the expectation that Oregon would be invited to play at Pasadena. "The men themselves have kept in condition by handball and gymnasium work and have lived un der training rules, but they have had absolutely no workouts or practice under my direction," he stated. Old Llnrup .stand. No changes will be made in the line-up of the Oregon eleven, and the tame team which won the Pacific coast conference championship will play at Pasadena, according to "Shy." This moans that Stan Anderson and Mart Howard will play the end posi tions. Ken Bartlett and Spike Leslie tackles. Carl Mauts and Baz Will iams guards. Brick Leslie center. Bill Steers quarter. Everett Brandenberg and Vine JacoUberger halves and l-lol-lis Huntington full. "Prink" Calllson may he used at cen ter. Al Harding at guard, Sket Mane rud at quarter and Nish Chapman at half before the game is over, as all of these men have played in confer ence games this year. A. E. F. Bantam Wins. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12. Babe Asher. bantam champion of the American expeditionary forces, won the news paper decision over Zulu Kid of New York in an eight-round bout tonight. Sidelights and Satire. Our All-American. Selected from the finest hand picked tomatoes and packed in our daylight factories. Contains less than 4 per cent benzoate of soda. No sec ond team. Beware of substitutes. ' ... Another football season is in the old ragbag. It was successful in spite of the 18th amendment. In pick ing the all-American we do not fol low the Harvard system of consult ing the Almanac de Gotha, Brad street's and Dun's Who's Who and Who Was. Each player is picked on his merits. Jim the Penman, the famous hand writing expert, will pick the linemen. ... Flo Ziegfeld will select the back field. lie doesn't know any more about fields than a marine does about retreating, but the lineup of the Fol lies' chorus indicates that he is an authority on backs. ... The only difficulty occurred when Jim the Penman insisted on raising the number of linemen from 7 to 7. 000. 000. First we need a good middle man in the center of the line. Who could be better than the guy who keeps eggs in cold storage for 20 years while the bereaved ham on our plate cries mournfully for its playmate? We pick the guards from the police force. They call out the signals in addition. Nobody will be able to tell v hat the next play is going to be. Trying to gain a yard against these cuckoos will be like parting your hair against the great wall of China. The tackles are inspectors on the Broadway cars. We thought of transferring the Inspectors from tackle to end. but the policy permits no transfers. ... The backs will be Eliza. Sergeant Torks, the United States senate and the kaiser. The Kaiser is a demon behind the line of scrimmage. The further be hind the line he is the better he gets. Eliza is a wolf on a broken field. She played on Uncle Tom's varsity eleven for years plus years. The ends are important. We don't want ends who allow the opposition to rattle around 'em like merry vil- lagers around a Maypole. Peary and , Shackleton look like the ends. You I might get between 'em, but never around 'em. The senate are grizzlies on Inter ference. If you want to advance the old ball, just slip it to Yorke and show him a German. If you can pick a better team than that we'll sell your old straw hat for J 8. And furthermore, it is a team that no all-American ticket speculator could make a nickel on. With Alexander and Killifer al ready signed, the Chicago Cubs have the best part of the 1920 machine in line. Didn't make any difference whether they had a gong, whistle, piccolo, ukulele or strombo horn to mark the rounds in the Carpentier-Beckett fuss. And there's no argument re garding the round in which the crash came. C0M1SKEY SEES BREAKERS WHITE SOX BOSS PREDICTS END OF LEAGUE. . ''Conditions in American Awful, Terrible," "Old Roman" Re marks of Baseball Situation. CHICAGO. Dec. 12. Charles A. Com- ; iskey, owner of the Chicago Ameri- I cans, expressed the belief tonight that I unless there was a change in the presidency of the American league and of the chairmansh ip bf the na tional baseball commission, the league might not be In existence beyond next July 4. "Conditions in the American are awful, terrible," he said. Whatever peace- may exist in the American league as a result of the meeting In New York may be de scribed as "armed truce." Comiskey is a member of the fac tion opposed to President Johnson. The business of the league is at a standstill and another meeting will have to be called to lay plans for the 1920 season, according to Comiskey. NEW YORK, Dec. 12. Counsel for Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri can league, has filed an appeal in the a ppellate court from the recent de cision by Supreme Court Justice Wag ner, granting the New York Ameri can club a permanent injunction in the Carl Mays case, it was learned to day. The injunction prevents inter ference with the use of Mays on the playing field. COUGAR DELEGATES HOME DH. BOHLER, COACH WELCH PI.EJSED WITH SCHEDULES.

Delay Pleases Farmer. TACOMA. Wash.. Dec. 12. (Special.) Frank Farmer is pleased that his bout with Battling Ortega in Port land has been postponed, as it will give him more time to rest up between the Reeves and Ortega goes. He had intended to take these two tough ones on in two successive nights, which is coming a bit thick. Wolfe Bests Burnian. AKRON. O.. Dec. 12.

The farm bureau will be consolidated with the commercial club and steps will be taken at once to standardize the Wapinitia high school. HARVARD'S GAME IS SMIUR ID OREGON'S Steers Is Rated as Equal of Horween for Field Goals. CRIMSON LINE SUPERI0B Benefit of Weight Advantage, How ever, Expected to Be Made Neg ligible by Aerial Attacks. Now that it has been finally decided that Harvard and Oregon are to be the east-west representatives in the football clash at Pasadena on New Year's day, and since the teams have started practice, football enthusiasts throughout the country have begun to weigh the respective strength of eastern and western collegiate foot ball. The west has so far shown superiority over their eastern rivals in previous contests The question always arises as to whether or not the particular partici pant is the strongest eleven in its section of the country. There should be no doubt that Oregon and Harvard are fair representatives of their re spective territories. Although there is no way of comparing t".ie individual strength of the players as they will line up at Pasadena, the attack used by both elevens is in a remarkable way identical. Team Plays Similar. Both teams use a rapid-fire aerial attack, mixed with a series of cross buck plays. The fast aerial shoots tend to hold the secondary de fense away from the line of scrim mage, making the off-tackle cross bucks more effective. This style of play seems to be the main feature of every championship eleven. It tends to hold the secondary defense, which is the backbone of the scrimmage line, in a state of doubt. The formation of the team, on the defense in present-day football pro vides, first, for immunity from for ward passes and. second, for imme diate dia'gnosis of any play launched by the opposition. The latter is prob ably the biggest factor in the defen sive strength of an eleven. The style of play used by the crim son and lemon-yellow teams should make the scoring nearly even. The breaks of the game will no doubt be a factor in the final outcome. Close observation of the games played by Harvard this year shows that the crimson will take a chance most any time with any of their va riety of plays. The crimson s fren zied attack was most noticeable in the Harvard-Yale game. Harvard making seven fumbles, one of which would have spelled defeat had Yaie been able to take advantage of it. In contrast to the similarity of play of the two elevens, the New Year's game will demonstrate the great physical superiority of the crimsop line over ttiat of the lemon-yellow. Steer Held Honmn'i Equal. The effect that this will have on the score is a question upon which each fan must draw his own pre-game conclusion. In former years this noted difference would have been a tremendous advantage, but with the open style of play now in vogue it is doubtful if the extra weight will effect the score. As scoring ma chines from the field, Bill Steers of Oregon ought to equal Ralph Hor ween of Harvard. In case of Injury to Horween or Steers. Oregon would have an edge, with "Skeeter" Man erude filling Bill Steers' shoes, be cause Harvard has not shown any reserve strength in field goal shoots. The eastern fans will have a better line on the general coaching svstem used by Oregon than the western football followers will have on Har vard's general plan of attack as taught by Bob Fisher and known as the Haughton system. The eastern ers will get their idea of the Oregon style of play from the Penn State eleven, now coached by Hugo Bez dek, ex-mentor of Oregon, who taught Coach Shy Huntington his methods of football strategy. It can be said that "Shy" is an able exponent of the Bezdek school. Hidden Ball Play lard. The Haughton system includes in its repertoire of plays the hidden ball and the ten men on the line play, which is similar to the dead man play worked so successfully by Oregon. Coach Fisher of Harvard lias not had the success of his predecessor, Percy Haughton. Captain Murray of the crimson team tried the hidden ball trick on Yale on two different oc casions, but in each instance was un successful. In summing up the tutoring of Fisher and Shy Huntington, detailed summary of the games played by both teams during the past season would indicate that Harvard has nothing on Oregon when it comes to football strategy. Both Huntington and Fisher will be assisted In preparing for their clash by former stars of the two colleges. Eddie Mahan, ex-crimson star, will be added to Fisher's staff, while Huntington will have "Brick Mitchell to help Bart Spellman on the line. "Bart" has been the Oregon line coach all year and, according to Head Coach Huntington, Spellman has no equal as a coach of the first line of defense. Gridiron Doubleheaders Planned. CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Dec. IS. The doubleheader is to appear on college football schedules next season. Har vard in its first week-end of play will meet two college elevens and ma-y take on two more its second date. Fred W. Moore. 'graduate-manager of athletics at Harvard, said re cently that the games as proposed wouia be lour periods of eight min utes each. Bowdoin college has been invited to play one of the games on the opening date and the University of Maine on the second date. WINGED M DATES TOSSERS CLUB SIGNS THREE COLLEGE GAMES AT HOME. Plans Call for Clashes With. All Leading School 9 on Coast. Stars Out for Team. George A. Anderson, chairman of basketball at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, announced last night he has closed for three games with conference aggregations for the Winged M quintet, all to be played on the Multnomah club floor. The club hoopers will clash with Whitman college, January 17; the Uni versity of Oregon, January 24 and Washington State college, February 7. Anderson is now endeavoring to fill up the Multnomah basket-tossers' schedule with contests against the University of Washington, Oregon Ag ricultural college. Sanford and Cali fornia. Mutnomah will tangle with the Ore gon Aggie squad either on January 10 or February 14, according to the pres ent plans. As yet a tentative date has not been set with Washington. If either California or Stanford make a northern invasion this season. An derson will arrange to have them stop off here and play Multnomah. Basketball is the big thing with the Winged M wearers these frigid days, and the chill has not tended to keep them off the floor. The players are fast rounding into shape and the first team will be picked within the next two weeks. All of the former club stars have rallied for 1920. RUGBY MEN GO NORTH STANFORD AND CALIFORNIA TO INVADE VANCOUVER. Christmas Trip Will Be Made by Players From Ranks of Both Universities' Teams. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Dec. 12. (Special.) Stan ford and California will Join forces in sending to Vancouver this Christ mas the strongest rugby team in Cali fornia, according to a statement made by Harry Maloney and Jim Wylie. the coaches. Such great interest was created by last Saturday's game be tween the two universities, resulting in a 3-to-3 tie, that enthusiasm for the revival of the Knglish game that is being attempted here is on the In crease. This all-California Rugby team that will play the British Columbia stars in their home territory, will have its personnel decided by a com mittee selected by the Rugby coaches of the two colleges. The ranks of the fifteens of both colleges are being swelled by American football men. now that their season is over. Fred Brooks who was the University of California captain is a likely can didate for this picked team and Kirksey. the Cardinal speed burner, is another sure prospect. The team will leave for Victoria week after next. White Goes After Leonard. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 12. The Northwest Athletic club of Seattle today telegraphed Billy Gibson, man ager of Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, asking for a match here in January between Leonard and Charlie White, Chicago lightweight Reports have been received that Leonard plans to be in the northwest in January. White is here now. AN EARLY MORNING THAW. BEAVERS MAY TRAIN M MPER AL VALLEY Penner, McCredie Scout, Has Eye on Brawley, Cal. OTHER SITES VIEWED, TOO Bushers In Southern California Also Getting "Once Over." Barnabe and Cuy ler Signed. BY RICHARD R. SHARP. The Portland Beavers may train at Brawley. Cal.. in 1920. The Imperial valley metropolis has made overtures to "Judge" McCredie to bring the club there. Ken Penner. Porttond twlrler, who is Walter McCredle's southern agent and scout, is looking over the ground and will make a report this week as to the advisability of spend ing the spring training session at Brawley. McCredie is depending on Penner a good deal tohine up a suitable train ing camp and the famous fence ball pitcher Is giving several sites other than Brawley the once over. San Diego has also been mentioned as a camp, but Wade Ki liefer is planning on taking the Angels there. The only drawback is the fact that none of the ball parks in San Diego have any grass on the diamond. Kil lefer does not like the idea of putting his cohorts through the paces on the hard-baked surface, but may decide to train in San Diego despite that fact. Kenneth Penner is the busy little bee in southern California for Boss Walter and has a constant eye on the field of bushers in that sector. It was Penner who signed "Chuck" Barnabe and Herbie Cuyler for a tryout with the Mackmen machine in 1920. Both were recommended to the McCredies and all Penner had to do was to go through the formality of having them affix their signatures to parchments. Byron Houck. ex-Beaver mound man, now one of Vernon's best bets, has intimated that he may retire from the national pastime. Houck has lined himself up for a nice job as a cameraman at one of the moving pic ture studios in Los Angeles. A wind up comes easy to him and the voca tion has made such a hit with Byron that he has serious thoughts of stay ing with it. Shortstop Don Rader. who was sold by Portland to the Beaumont club of the Texas league, will not report to the latter aggregation. Don is at present engaged in the automobile business in Los Angeles. "If I can not play class A A ball I'll stick to selling wheeled vehicles," said dash ing Don when interviewed recently on the subject. It is far from im probable that some other coast league club will make a move to land this hustling guardian of the short patch. Every club in the Pacific Coast league is on the lookout for pitching talent. There is not a team in this western circuit that could not use one or more capable deceivers, and, following out this line of thought, there is not a manager in the league who is not trying to line up likely looking timber in the pitching forest. Vernon is the only club well supplied. Eddie Heer. who managed the Salt Lake ball club last year, will turn his attention to scoutinir for Detroit from now on and is still lingering about the hotel lobbies in Los Ange les chatting baseball. Heer is very sweet on Wes Klngdon, the young Los Angeles high school boy who played shortstop for the Beavers last fall, anti Willie Kamm. the young San Francisco third packer. Heer predicts bright futures for both Kamm and Kingdon. Wes will get another seasoning stretch with Port land in 1920 and if he can hit the ball at all should make the majors ere many schedules have been fought through on the coast. ... Al Hartman, Bob Marshall. Charley Moore and a number of other well known ball players working for the G. M. Standifer Construction corpora tion in Vancouver, will trek to Can ada with the opening of the 1920 season and line up with some one of the Western Canada leaarue clubs. All of them have seen service either in the northwest or Pacific Coast league and several of the Standifer players have been to the majors. The prospects for a fast semi-pro league in and around Portland next year are very bright unless the West ern Canada league draws all of the A - 11 I LITTLE ?LW.l ( NOW THiNGWlU- bush stars away. The Southern Ida ho league will also be & magnet for a number of the local ball players if the peppy little circuit starts up again next year. PHI GAMMA DELTA FIVE WTXS Interfratcrnity ' Basketball Honors at University Settled. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Dec. 12. (Special.) The Phi Gamma Delta basketball team was the win ner in the interfraternity series staged on the campus this term, when it defeated the Friendly hall quintet Wednesday night. By winning this game, the Phi Gamma Delta team gets the two trophy cups which have been in the possession of the Sigma Chi team for the past two years, and which were presented by Spaulding Brothers, and Wilson sporting goods companies, through their stores in Eugene. Friendly hall won the right to runner-up honors by defeating the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team the previous night. RITCHIE GRABS SWEDE EX-CHAMP BLOSSOMS OUT AS ANDERSON'S PILOT. Bay City Rumor Vouchsafes Syndi cate Backs Tacoma Heavy for Crack at Dempsey. Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, has returned to the fight game once more not as a fighter, but as a full-fledged man ager of a huge person whom Willie hopes to steer into the heavyweight championship of the world. This luminary is Ole Anderson, Tacoma heavyweight, who is trying the four round game around San Francisco and who fought a draw with Gunboat Smith in the Bay City Thursday night. Louis Parente. well-known San Francisco promoter, is the authority for the above statement. According to Parente a syndicate of capitalists of which Ritchie is the head will undertake to groom the big fellow for a fight with Jack Dempsey in the near future. Two of the men inter ested are easterners whose names are unobtainable, but who, it is stated, have access to the sporting realm on the other side of the Rockies. The appearance of Ritchie as a manager has created no end of com ment. Willie retired immediately after his fight with Benny Leonard in the early part of the year and in formed the world that he would never again be associated with the boxing game. Last Thursday night Ritchie an fpeared in Anderson's corner at San Francisco. Willie yelled at Ole and made motions just like he used to in the old days when a pal was fighting. and Willie held the sponge. The wise boys shook their heads and couldn't fathom It. There was Willie Ritchie behind a fellow who is practically un known and a beginner, and yet Ritchie was taking more interest in him than he would in a world's cham pion. Afterward it developed that Ander son had put in a bit of time in the army, being stationed at Camp Lewis. Ritchie was his boxing instructor. At the camp Willie took a marked inter est in the big fellow and when Ole turned professional fighter Willie was the first one at his side. Ritchie's name should bring Ander son over the rough spots in the pugi listic road. If the big fellow had been successful in disposing of Smith Thursday night it was Ritchie's in tention to bring him north for- a couple of fights and then east for his conquest of the champion. O. A.

With five co-eds on the campus who played intercollegiate basketball two years ago. prospects for a team among the women are good, accord ing to Miss Ruth Wininiger, women's athletic coach. The women's basket ball team defeated Oregon at Eugene in 1916 and hopes to schedule a game with the university players again this year.

FRANCE PROBABLE PLACE Contest Expected to Break All Rec ords lor Purse Totals Lon don Go Xot Popular. NEW YORK. Dec 12. The direct challenge Issued by Georges Carpen- tier to Jack Dempsey to fight for the world's heavyweight championship virtually assures a match during the coming year. The American title holder has expressed his willingness to face the French boxer and there remains only the agreement on the terms and conditions. W'hen the articles of agreement finally are signed it will be found that all former purses and similar inducements given to champion heavy weights in the oast will have hn dwarfed into insignificance by the sums to be handed to the boxers for the first international ring battle of importance In years. Johnson and Jeffries divided J210. 000 for their Reno bout and the Willard-Dempsey purse at Toledo amounted to nearly $150,000. Demp sey and Carpentier are quite likely to battle for a purse approximately twice as large as that offered for the Willard-Dempsey match. Several American and European fight promoters of strong financial standing already are endeavoring to sign the two heavyweights to" binding contracts. The rivalry to obtain their signatures promises to furnish a bitter and exciting struggle in which sums running into hundreds of thousands of dollars will be offered. Summer Fight Predlrtrd. The date of the bout can be set down for midsummer, but the loca tion of the ring is a matter of much speculation. Shrewd ring followers express doubt that England would supply the huge gate receipts neces sary to finance successfully such a match, as neither of the contestants would have the drawing power there of a Briton. Owing to the intense French pride in the ring achieve ments of Carpentier. France probably would supply a record gate, but there is some doubt whether Dempsey would agrees to box Carpentier there unless certain restrictions were placed in the articles of agreement. The impression appears to be grow ing in America that Carpentier will prove to be one of the best opponents to face Dempsey since the latter donned gloves. The Frenchman, a ring veteran of long expe.-ience. is credited with being an exceedingly clever boxer and a fast, hard-hitting f iglv.er. PARIS, Dec. 12. (Havas.) Georges Carpentier today issued a challenge to Jack Dempsey for a bout for the heavyweight championship of the world. Managrer Issues Dfll. The French heavyweight, who re cently won the championship of Eu rope by knocking out Joe Beckett, addressed the challenge through his manager, Descamps, in cars of the secretary of the International Boxing union. Carpentier offers to meet Dempsey at any place for the best purse offered at any time mutually agreed upon. Manager Descamps. it is announced, has deposited the sum of 50.000 francs with a Paris sporting publication as a guarantee to bind the match and a pledge of Carpentier's sincerity. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Dec. 12. Jack Kearns. manager for Jack Dempsey. said today he had not heard directly from Georges Carpentier. who was said by a Paris dispatch today to have issued a challenge to Dempsey for a bout for the heavyweight champion ship of the world. Kearns said possibly the challenge was an open one Land would not be sent directly to Dempsey, or that storm conditions might have de layed it. GREENLEAF WINS TITLE DELAWAHE CUE MAX TAKES FIRST POCKET HOXOKS. Victory Over Ralph Decides Tour ney for National Crown Eight Straight, Winner's Record. PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 12. E. Ralph Greenleaf of Wilmington. Del., won the pocket billiard championship of the United States today by defeating Edward 1. Ralph, Hightstown. N. J., 125 to 53, in the national American pocket billiard tournament. Greenleaf has one game to play, but even though he should lose this match he would still win the title. He has won eight straight. Greenleaf. who is 22 years old. won tonight's match in 18 innings, the third shortest of the tournament. He had a high run of 70, which stands second to Bennie Allen's world rec ord of 81. Ralph's high run was 22. In the other matches today, Charles Seeback. Hartford, Conn., beat Joseph Concannon, New York, and Jerome Keogh, Rochester, N. Y., defeated James Maturo, Denver.. Keogh and Allen are tied for sec ond place, each having won six games and lost two. They will meet tomor row in the final match. Sounding the Sport Reveille A NOTHER argument for military training Carpentier. Governors, mayors and railroad presidents gathered to thrust a chest of expensive silver on George Foster Sanford as the gridiron season ended at Rutgers. It is an even bet that Al Sharpe at Yale didn't get so much as a free subscription to the Alumni Weekly. Every football player who started against Brown will return to Colum bia next fall. This ought to give the Blue and White quite a team, ualess the men who faced Stevens and New York university decide to come back. They ought to match Fred Fulton and Becket for the one-round cham pionship. This is no feeble 1919 team. When we pick an all-American we pick a team from the ages. One that can fumble with the best. It will be a real Callahan feud when Captain John of Yale and Cap tain Harry of Princeton discuss the ultimate football destination of Cap- tain Arthur of the Lawrence high school eleven. Perhaps Art will set tle the argument by going to Harvard. He played tackle on the Lawrence team and Is president of the class of How the' favorites flutter! ISIS has been a tough old bird for the choices, but her days are numbered. Rumor has it that Dartmouth can have a date on Harvard's football schedule next fall If the. Green will agree to play on October 23, leaving the Crimson opportuiity for an easy game before meeting Princeton. In cidentally there is a. movement on foot to brine the Centre college eleven to the stadium. The Kentuckians will retain their team Intact for an other season and will be primed for a sharp tussle. Pard Pearee. Pennsylvania's profes sional halfback, has left the univer sity to play with some "pro" elevens and then take life easy until h goes south with the Chicago Cubs. He leaves a blot on the record of the university and casts suspecion on those who control athletics. FANS CLAMOR FOR WHITE BUGS WAST TO SEE CLEVER CHICAGOAX IX ACTION. Local Talent Called Good Enough to Give Visiting Boys Run for Boxing Bacon. Jt Is the opinion of many fight fans that if the Portland and Milwaukie boxing commissions pass up the chance to use Charley White, the famous Chicago lightweight in one of their main events in the near fu ture that they will have checked a big bet. White is now in Seattle and is ready and willing to step 10 rounds against any boy that is se lected for him either in Portland or Milwaukie. With Oregon one of the few states in which 10-round decision bouts are permitted it is a shame that Seattle and other coast city fans get the opportunity to witness the big guns in action while the local mitt fol lowers have to sit back and watch the Jock McGlocks a'nd Joe McGees go through the paces week after week. In San Francisco and Seattle, where the boxing game is always on thin ice and with bouts of only four and six rounds' duration, the promoters manage to import the cream of the fistic talent of the country. Of course it costs money for the top notchers, but why not lop off a little of the long green paid to the pre liminaries and bring in some main eventers worth while? One cannot kick about such as McCormick and Farmer or Gibbons and Darcy, as a man of international reputation is on one side of the bout in both cases. McCormick and Gib bons are both widely known for their ability and' are worthy exponents ot the ring game. Farmer figures to give McCormick a battle and Darcy figures to give Gibbons an argument when they meet next Tuesday nii,ht in Milwaukie. The fans like to see one of the big guns stack up against the best of the local talent. An excuse is that the local talent is not good enough to buck up against the better known boxers, but this will be found un true when one looks back over past performances here. Portland sportsmen who make an nual trips east and get the oppor tunity to see the boys mix in that section of the country always come back with the word that they are not above what we have here. Bobby Ward, Stanley Willis. Pete Mitchie, Muff Bronson. or Freddie Anderson should all figure for a chance against a real boxer. Names have proved nothing. Johnny Coulon. Frank Barrieau, Johnny Schauer. Jim Flynn, and others who came here with the blare of trumpets were bested by local boxers. Let's have a "few more of the Mc Cormicks, .Gibbons' and their like. They put up good fights and give local or northwestern boys something to show their real mettle against. Every boxer starts the game with the idea buried back in his dome of some day becoming a champion or a near champion, it is the dream of every battler with a fighting heart. Pick out some of the best ones and give them a chance against the eastern ers if the latter care to come here for game. What the fans want is action. m As announced in The Oregonian the Portland boxing commission has de cided to switch the date of its show and also the principals in the main event. The Portland car-, was orig inally slated for December 19. but has been set up to December 27. Jimmy Darcy will clash with Bat ling Ortega in the main event in stead of with Frank Farmer. 4 . . There has been some comment about signing Darcy as he has his match coming up on December 16 against Tommy Gibbons in Milwau kie. Should Darcy receive a drub bing at the hands of Gibbons he would hardly pack them in against Ortega here a little over a week later. Mick King, the Australian middle weight, and Al Sommers, Portland 158-pounder. both strove for the chance to meet Ortega but were turned down. King is now in Cal gary but would maki the jump just the minute he was signed. Sommers ha3 been training for several weeks and is in excellent shape. Al has not fought in Portland for two years, having served in a machine gun corps In France. Al did his fight ing over there and all he asks now is a chance against some of those who gathered in the shekels while he helped make them safe. m m m Joe Benjamin will meet Willie Jackson in Jersey City on Decem ber 29.
