OREGON TO START E Lemon-Yellow Squad Off To day for Pasadena. 25 GRIDDERS TAKE TRIP Double Dally Workouts Planned to Prepare Tor Combat With Cambridge Warriors. UNIVERSITY OF OUKGON, Eugene. Dec. J 7. (Special.) The University of Oregon football team will leave I Kueenc tomorrow for Pasadena. Cal.. i where the team will spend nine or ten "lays of preliminary practice before ! the siime with Harvard on New Years nay. Coach "Shir."' Huntington was uncer tain tonight how many men he would tHke vithhim on the southern trip, but it is likely that at least 25 mem bers of the varsity squad will be taken. The contract received today by Graduate Manager Marion Mc clain called for only 25 men. includ ing coaches, to make the trip, but ar rangements are being made with the Pasadena committee to increase this number to allow at least 25 men urid the coaches. ! No practice was held by the varsity tonight, as the melting snow, which covers Kincaid field made any work there practically impossible. Train ing table will be held as usual to nie;ht, but the men spent the after noon in preparing for the trip to morrow. The members of the team spent this afternoon studying for examinations, which come tomorrow, or at light workouts in the gym, at handball and on the gym floor. Special Car to Be Ufied. When the team and coaches leave for the south tomorrow they will have a special car on which to make the tip- Trainer Hill Hayward is also making arrangements to - secure a special dining car for the men, and every effort will be made to keep the players in the best condition pos sible. Some form of exercise prob ably will be given the men en route to keep them in condition until they reach Movieland, and a plan is being worked out by Hayward to have a Bpecial supply of water along, which will prevent the men from suffering any probable effects of a change. Followers of the little god Luck will b'e pleased to hear that the Ore gon squad will be quartered in the Maryland hotel at Pasadena. In the past the team which had its quarters in this hotel has always been the victor in the tournament of roses contest. Whether Harvard is strong enough to change the omen Is not known, but the fact that Oregon is to be quartered at the good luck hotel is at least encouraging. Practice Stnrt on Arrival. Once in Pasadena the team will buckle down to real work, according to the plans formulated by the coaches. Practice in the snow in Eu gene has done but little in either way of conditioning or bringing out any new football. At Pasadena it is fhe plan of the coaches to have as much practice as is possible to crowd into a day. What will amount to practically two workouts a day will be given the men under the instruction of the coaches. At one session they will be given indoor work, running and gen eral conditioning exercises. Later they may stage real scrimmage on one of the two turf fields which are to be provided by the Pasadena commit tee and will try to develop new plays away from the watchful eye of the Harvard supporters. Owing to the fact that he is as yet uncertain as to the nember of men be will be permitted to take to Pasa dena, Coach Huntington could not announce the names of the men who will go. It is practically certain, however, that the following members of the training table will make the trip: Captain Everett Brandenburg, half; Bill Steers, quarter; Vincent Jacob berger, half; Francis Jacobberger, half; Hollis Huntington, full; Nish Chapman, half; Clifford Manerud. quarter; Stan Anderson, end; Mart Howard, end: Ran William (aplrlA- Earl Leslie, tackle; Al Harding, guard: Carl Mautz, guard: Ken Bart lett, tackle; Neill Morfitt. tackle; Ward McKinney, guard; Ed Ward, guard; Keith Leslie and Prince Cal . lison, center; Bob Cosgriff, guard, and Si Starr, tackle. More May Be Added. More men probably will be added to the list tomorrow and a few shifts in the others may be made. The . coaching staff will comprise Coach "Shy" Huntington, Assistant Bart , Spellman and Trainer Bill Hayward. Graduate Manager Marion McClane and Managet Bill Hollebeck will also make the trip. Professor H. C. Howe. chairman of the athletic council at . tiie university, may also go. It is not considered likely by yell leaders thatt any big student dem- nnnlrnttnn urill Vi t u,hA K team leaves tomorrow. The depart ure, coming in the midst of exams as it does, a big rally would interfere more or less with the , work. It is more than probable, however. that some sort of sendoff will be given the men before they leave for what is considered here the biggest game an Oregon team has ever played.

CUSHION PLAY HAS UPSET w. J. DAVIS SCORES VICTORY OVER GEORGE IJART. Jake Weinstein Surprises Gallery by Defeating Billy Bryan in Close Match. Billiard fans who witnessed last night's matches in the annual three cushion tournament at the Rialto bil liard parlors were treated to sensa tions galore. The big surprise of the evening was registered when W. J. Davis defeated George Hart, 30 to 27, in one of the best games ever played at the Rialto. Hart was the winner of last year's tournament and up until last night had not lost more than two tourna ment games in two years' play. Davis was in wonderful form and had Hart tn K Hofn-& 1. 1 . !

Ruven. whom he tackled after Davis and defeated his second opponent in class A, 30 to 28. The strain of the first match told on Hart and he had to bring all of bis skill into play to score a win over Ruven. Hart had Ruven 20 to 12 at 'one time when the latter recovered himself and keDt Hart guessing.

SWIMMING CENTER MAY VANCOUVER Norman Cox Engaged as In structor m Natation. WATER LAURELS HIS AIM More and Faster Competition in Pacific Northwest Events Ex pected to Be Result. BY HARRY EDDAS. Pacific northwest swimmers will welcome the announcement from Van couver. B. C, that they have secured the services of Norman Cox, former coach of Columbia university athletic clubs, as their instructor in the art of natation. Cox is introducing to the swimming enthusiasts the "six-beat double glide crawl" as the latest in swim ming strokes. .This is his name for the stroke which is used by Norman Ross, Duke Kahanamoku, Perry Mc Gillivray and othe'r famous swim mers of this country. Every Friday night members of the Vancouver Amateur A. S. C. are turning out in force ;at Chalmers tank for a course of instruction and they are : already showing wonderful improvement. Vancouver Dphrtidrimm. In an interview with Mr. Cox he stated that Vancouver was 20 years behind the times when it comes to swimming. He will center his atten tion unon the proposed new swim ming baths and work for having a tank built along international stan dardized lines. Vancouver then will be able to stage International swim ming meets and it is the intention to make British Columbia the swimming center of the dominion. Portland swimmers welcome the coming of the new coach to Vancou ver, inasmuch as it will mean more and faster competition in the Pacific Northwest swimming world. Vancou ver's swimmers heretofore have been nil in any of the P. N. A. meets, al though they have always been en tered. Portland will have to shake itself out of the rut into which it has fallen or in a short space of time Vancouver will be leaving them be hind, as has Seattle in its return to aquatic sports after several years' absence. Indoor Event! Divided. The P. N. A. indoor events this year are divided between. Portland and Seattle and altho.ugh It is likely that Vancouver will enter swimmers in these events, the effects of the new coach will not be felt until the out door events are held in July at Victo ria. -, , That Duke Kahanamoku, who of late has been the subject of much unfavorable comment on account of his failing to participute In the re cent fall swimming meet, has been given the butt end of the argument is just dawning upon many of the critics. It is true that the duke was not in condition for the events on account of his taking up rowing. Norman Ross agrees that he would not care to have met the duke in his present condition and that when he does meet the duke "he wants him to be at his best, so that the ability ot both may be fairly measured. That the duke has always proven to be a sport in every meet he ever entered is too well known to be gone into. Duke In Fine Form. - Duke Kahanamoku will return to the game, going perhaps faster than ever before, is the common belief among those who know him. That he means business and is not yet ready to retire is shown in the intensive training which he is undergoing at the direction of that famous Honolulu coach of the Outrigger club, George (Dad) Center. Tedford Cann, former national swimming champion of the New York Athletic club, staged a come-back in the New York pool last week by win ning the Metropolitan winter swim ming championship, 100 yards, in 56 4-5 seconds. Members of the Los Angeles Ath letic club swimming team are devot ing their time to handball, wrestling and ' klnprecr exercises. This was done ' upon the recommendation of Coach, Vieth, who told them to "lay off" the swimming game for at least two months. This will prevent them from going "stale." The mermaids of the club are basking in the sun shine at the nearby beach resorts, but all will return to active training soon after the first of the year. In the meantime Vieth is on a jaunt through the east looking for pointers for the coining year's work. The Multnomah club basketball season is holding up the announce ment of the date that the Oregon state swimming and diving meet wil be staged. Dates for basketball must be arranged so as not to conflict with the swimming as in the past. The swimmers of the state are hard at work and will be in the pink of con dition when the meet is called. En trants this year will be mostly from local clubs and schools, with a few unattached. Divers are in practic Wednesday and Saturday nights at the club, while the swimming tea turns out Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Mike Wilsey, Albert Enegrene, Frank Lindstrom, O. J. Kosford and possibly Frank Kiernan will take care of the free style events, while Jack Popochanka will care for the backstroke. Couch and Shattuck schools will more than likely have a relay team entered in the Junior events. Helen Lang- of the Turn Vereln, last year's "dark horse" in the breast stroke for women, will not be entered. Miss Lang's recent illness will not permit of her conditioning for the meet. Brownie Webster, captain of Stan ford university water polo team, will arrive in town this week to spend the holidays with his folks. Brownie's visit at this time is of especial inter est, as he will be able to tell the local boys how water polo is. won in the south and what may be expected from the southerners in the national cham pionships.

Harold Dobyns, well-known hunte and trapper of the northwest, arrived in Portland yesterday after several months spent in eastern Oregon. Mr. Dobyns has been hunting and trap ping on the range of several promt nent stockmen of Butter creek, about 50 miles south of Pendleton. He ha been covering a trap line of 100 mile In length and during the past mont has trapped 25 coyotes, 3 wildcats. 1 badgers, 50 muskrates and 11 mink, For his work of the last month Mr. Dobyns will receive $70 In bounties, and the sale of the fur will net hi approximately $600. In addition he receives a salary of $100 per month from the. stockmen of Butter creek and all living and outfitting expenses. Championship Claim Unfounded. Boston college has laid claim to the Catholic university championship of the country because of its win over Georgetown, 10 to 7. This claim seems to be a little bit wide of the mark because of the fact that Boston col lege was .defeated by the Army eleven and the Cadets in turn were trimmed by Notr Dame. This seemingly gives the South Bend huskies the cham pionship their Boston rivals are claiming. M'CHDIE GOES 0 WITH 920 PLANS Judge Signs Carl Tuma, Lo cal First Baseman. COAST MEETING LOOMS Flaying Season Likely to Be Made 28 Weeks Spring Training May Start ,in February. The fact that the world was billed to slip a few notches yesterday did not hinder Judge William Wallace McCrcdie from going ahead with plans for the 1920 Beaver team and he found time to sign up another busher in the person of Carl Tuma. a Portland youngster, who starred at first base in local circles last sea son on the United Artisan team. Judge McCrcdie evidently has es tablished a working agreement with ,the Artisans, as he signed their stellar pitcher. 'Sylvester Johnson, last week. Both boys will be given a chance to make good and if they show, anthjnjf at all will likely he "farmed" for a stretch in Canada. The next thing of importance in Pacific Coast league baseball circles will be the annual "hot session meet ing of the circuit directors in San Francisco on January 6. The play ing schedule for 1920 will be one of the little details to be looked after. It is a foregone conclusion that the eason will be lengthened to 28 weeks. It is planned to open at least two weeks earlier than last season, when play started on April 8, and to close that much sooner, thus giving plenty of time for the playing off of the minor league championship, it such series comes to pass. An early opening means that the clubs will have to entrain for spring training camps some time in February, in pluce of waiting until March. The magnates will also discuss the minor league situation in its relation to ftis majors, and will instruct J." Cal Ewing. a member of the ad visory board of the national associa- lon, as to Us attitude In that matter and what action it desires. It is expected that just as soon as peace is restored in the big leagues a meeting will be held between the representatives of the minors and ajors to decide on tne relations tnat will govern them in future disputes, much dissatisfaction being rampant over the present system, which leaves it entirely up to the national com mission to settle all differences be tween the major and minor league clubs, and also to determine the status of the draft rule and to in corporate new rules and regulations for the guidance of all concerned. Sentiment among the majority of the minor league club owners is en tirely in favor of the draft. Other business to be taken up at the meeting will consist mostly of routine affairs, such as naming the umpires and the like. Wade Killefer, boss of the Angels, will leave next month for a tour of the east in quest of certain players to bolster up a few weak spots in his club. The Borrel top has hopes of landing two or three, more pitchers, a third baseman and a seasoned back stop. Gavvy" Cravath has offered Kille fer "Lena" Blackburne. lnfielder. and Lee Callahan, outfielder, in exchange for either Curley Brown or Bill Pertica. Killefer is said to be giving the deal serious consideration. George Cunningham, the pitcher turned over to Portland by Detroit will probably be used in the Beaver outfield If he reports. Cunningham is said to be a fast man in the gar dens and capable of holding his own with the best of them. One of those little hot-stove league rumors floating around tins winter has it that Manager Charley Graham of the Seals hopes to get Sam Agnew from Washington. Graham is well acquainted with the backstop work of Agnew and would like to land him from Griffith along with Olaf Erickson. Agnew was a member of the Ver non club under nappy llogan s management back in 1912. He went to the Boston ited hox In the spring of 1913, and ever since has ranked as a pretty fair major league catcher. There is a tale abroad that Sam might stay in the majors for a long long time yet. if It were not that he isn't loved any t6o ardently by Clark Griffith, the Washington manager. Two or three years ago a row broke out during a game between Wash ington and the Red Sox. Agnew was catching and Carl Mays was pitching for the Sox, and Mays chucked up a "bean ball" that roused the wrath of the batter. The batter started for Mays, threatening him with the war club. Griffith joined in and said a number of things concerning Mays and the whole Boston club that stirred Agnew's ire, and Sam threatened to puch Mr. Griffith in the nose. Soon afterward almost the same thing happened, and this time Agnew made good on his threat. He smote Mr. Griffith mightily, and from that time on he and Griffith were none too friendly. But last spring Griffith put over a deal that made Agnew a member of his club. And the whisper now Is that Grif is planning sweet revenge for that two-year-old blow by ship ping the catcher back to the minors. Agnew should be a strong addition to the San Francisco club. He has always wanted to come back to the coast. HERRMANN ALL READY, BUT t August Does Not Believe His Suc cessor Ls Discovered. CINCINNATI, Dec. 17.

Herrmann said. "I don't think, however, that Foster will be chosen for the office. He Is a good - baseball man, but lacks suffi cient backing."

The details of Oregon's plays were said to have been furnished by Ham Corbett. an Old-time Harvard half back, whose home is in Portland, and some of them were gained by per sonal observation. Eddie Casey was ill today with a heavy cold and his place was taken by Swede Nelson. Jack Desmond wa back at left end after a two days' layoff, but the squad was disheart ened by the fact that Mitch Gratwick of the backfield and Phil Philbin will be unable to make the trip, the former being ill and the latter failing to lift his probation. The squad divided their time be tween the baseball cage and the Bos ton armory. The customary routine drill was followed out. The second team will try the Oregon formations against the varsity Friday.

A IX LA CHAPELLE. Dec. 16. A French soldier wearing a Belgian army captain's uniform today called on the German chief of police and demanded that he loan him three po licemen to search a local bank. His request was complied with, and the soldier posted one policeman at the outside door of the bank. Then he assembled the staff of the bank in a room and locked the door. He then ordered the other policemen to stand watch over the prisoners. The soldier entered the vault, took 1.000.000 marks and walked away. One of the policemen became suspi cious and shadowed the supposed Bel gian and watched him enter a cafe, from which he emerged later in civil ian clothes.

MARTIN ON BRAIN St. Paul Boy Thinks He Can Trounce A. E. F. Boxer. MATCH NOW SIMMERING Eddie Kane Harbors Expectations of Closing With Akron Miller Before Many Moons. BY RICHARD R. SHARP. Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul, who still bears an unscarred record by vlr- ue t hln ten-round victorv over Jimmy Iarcy in Milwaukee Tuesday night, may be the man selected to put Bob Martin, the A. E. F. heavy weight champion, to the test. Martin has been bombing over his opponents with regularity of late, and is paid to be the one man that in time will relieve Jack Dempsey of his crown. Martin's handlers are taking him along easily and have been content to match him against such dead ones as Joe Bonds, and others, proving their smartness. Martin is an exceedingly popular fighter and up to date has displayed ll the earmarks of a real boxer. He hits the beams between 180 and 190 pounds and stands about 6 feet tall. He is a natural fighter and set up an enviable record in France. Neither Martin nor his manager has been sendin'g challenges right and left at Jack Dempsey and it is admit ted that it will take at least a year to put him in shape for a mill with the champion. But evidently Bob's boosters are getting ready to ease him up a notch, as negotiations are now under way for a 20-round match between Martin and Tommy Gibbons In Denver on Washington's birthday. Gibbons and his dapper manager, Ed die Kane, departed for St. Paul last night and upon his arrival. Kane hopes to close for the match. Gibbons is eager for a crack at Martin and is confident that he can defeat the fast-coming young heavyweight. Some of the "reds" are still arguing that Jimmy Darcy was entitled to a draw with Gibbons Tuesday night, but how they figure is more than one can telL Darcy fought his fight, the only fight that he could, considering the situation he was in. Darcy was signed last week to meet Battling Ortega in Portland December 23. If he had gone in and mixed with Gib bons he would have probably received a fine lacing, which would, of course have cut him out of a nice piece of change to meet Ortega. Figuring that way, the only business-like thing to do was to go in and cover up and take them on top of the head instead of the chin. His burst of speed in the tenth round was well planned by his seconds, and established him aa a card against Ortega. All Is fine, as far as Darcy and his family are con cerned. Taking it on the other hand, did he do Justice to the fans who paid their good money to see him get in and mix with Gibbons? As one well-known boxing follower stated yesterday. "If Darcy had not been signed up to meet Ortega and had nothing in view. It Is a dead sure cinch he would have waded Into Gibbons and either beat Tommy or got a beating trying it." The signing up of boxers when they have a tough bout on their hands is risky business and cannot be said to be advisable. Of course everything turned out fine in this case, but it might be otherwise another time. If some Seattle or San Francisco pro moter had had Darcy signed to box next week it would have been a horse of another color. What he did or did not do here would not matter in Seat tle or San Francisco, as the fans in those cities would hear little of the bout. This by one of the San Francisco scribes on the Harry Pelsinger-Jimmy Dundee exhibition in the Seal Rocks city last Friday night should be in teresting to some of the local fans who witnessed the act in question here several months ago. "Harry Pelslnger and Jimmy Dun dee drew another carbon copy of their act out of the desk and put it on for the fans. The result, of course was a draw. No matter how many times these two midgets get together. it's usually a draw, unless the referee carcB to split hairs in giving his de cision. Last night's bout was crowded with action. Pelsinger boxed btter than he has done for a long time, but for that matter, so did Dundee, and between the two of them they kept the fans on' edge every second they were In the ring."

Other witnesses will be presented when the case conies up this after noon. GHEY'S RETURN UNLIKELY VISCOUNT GOING HOME, IS EX PECTED TO STAY. Wusliington Speculates on Possible Successor to Ambassador; Lord Reading's Name Mentioned. LONDON, Dec. 17. The belief is growing in diplomatic circles that Viscount Grey will not return to Washington as British ambassador, although there is no intimation of this officially. Speculation is beginning as to who will be next ambassador and Lord Reading's name is men tioned. It is not known whether Lord Reading would abandon the chief jus ticeship for the ambassadorship, hut it is well known that he ts partic ularly fond f America and of Amer icans, and there are some who believe that he would like the post. Viscount Grey, whose early return to England has been announced, has never formally presented his creden tials at Washington and it is as sumed, therefore, th:it he never turned over Lord Reading's 'letters of recall. The possible retirement of Sir Roh- ert Borden from the premiership of Canada recalls that during the peace conference it was reported he might be the next ambassador to the United States. This was when the subject was discussed whether the British dominions, notably Canada. should have separate ambassadors at Wash ington. Prison Reform Drive Scouted. PORTSMOUTH. N. II.. . Dec. 17.
