RIVAL GRID SQUADS HEAR COACHES TALK IDAHO UNIVERSITY BY HARRY M. GRAYSON PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 29. (Spe cial.) Lectures in the morning and hard scrimmage periods during the afternoon completed the programme of the Harvard and Oregon elevens today. "Shy" Huntington trotted his hustlers out on the green at 2:30. where they frolicked for a solid hour, 1 after -which the Massachusetts men went through their paces. One could fill column after column and use of barrel after barrel of printers' ink describing the players, tc, in this big show, and when all had been said one could sum the whole works up by saying that Har vard has a much better line, with their backs shaded slightly by Will lam H. Steers and company. Most of the wise guys down here Bke Harvard. Maybe it's the big three stuff -which causes them to apeak the name with respect, and maybe it's the great football machine, which is rapidly recovering from the attack of puffing with which it had when it arrived. The fact remains, however, that the crimson crushers still blow like a lot of steam engines after an hour or so of earnest en deavor, Dope in Vul Shell. Here's the dope in a nut shell. Harvard is a better team than either the Brown University club of 1916 or the Pennsylvania crew of 1916. We compare her with these two aggrega tions because thej- tasted defeat in previous Intersectlonal contests. The 5919 Oregon combination is not as effecient at the grand and glorious college pastime as was either Wash ington state of '15 or Oregon of "16. Therefore it must be said that tho eastern representatives have a de cided edge. Perhaps that's why they'll enter the arena a 10 to 7 or better favorite. Scientific and specialized football will be exhibited by Harvard New Year's day for the edification of some SO. 000 enthusiasts who will tax tour nament park to capacity. One of the hest coached teams that ever set foot on a gridiron will line up in front of Oregon. One of the most Interested specta tors viewing the eastern representa tives working out this afternoon was Dr. John Wilce, head coach of the Ohio state aggregation, who came to Los Angeles to give the big affair the east and west and incidentally to deliver a lecture to members of his chool's alumni residing here abouts. rimxon Coaches Stars. The coaching staff which is pre paring the crimson Is composed of Robert T. Fisher, Derric Parmenter, "Eddie Mahan, Pavfl Withington. Dick Wlgglesworth. Sain Felton. Jimmy Knox and Tom Campbell. Head Coach Fisher starred as a Cambridge guard curing his final year. Withington, during his playing days, was a guard and tackle; Par menter a center. Felton a guard. Wig glesworth a quarterback and Mahan and Knox halfbacks. All were stars of the brightest hue and have estab lished reputations as being able to Impart their knowledge to others. As Coach Wilce gazed upon this grand array of tutors whispering words of advice into the wide-awake ears of Fisher's foxy men scattered all over the field, he expressed astonish ment. Coach Wilce is well acquainted with Assistant Coach Withington, who taught the great college pastime at Wisconsin in 1916. "Harvard looks mighty good to me, although I can not see where the crimson players outweigh that husky bunch of Ore gonians," said Coach Wilce. "It ought to be a great fight." Trainer Pooch Donovan, Harvard, Is suffering from a severe cold, but despite this fact he is working with the men and promises to have them In shape. Steers Bis; Feeder. Bill Steers. huge lemon-yellow quarter. Is still being fed specially prepared food by Trainer Bill Hay ward. It is said that Steers' body requires more nourishment than that of the average athlete and he is having plenty of grub to speed his way, which is calculated to give him a mean disposition January 1. Hayward is working the Eugene hoys into a great state of mind. They are becoming so fierce that he's or dered the knives of the dining room dulled. Willyum is taking no chances of having Brandy Brandenburg or Vince Jacobberger running around loose and mistaking an Oregon grad for a Harvard player. Fisher to I se Reserves. Howard G. Reynolds, sporting edi tor of the Boston Post, who accom panied Harvard west, is of the opin ion that practically every crimson warrior will break into the lineup at some time during the contest. Coach Fisher has a flock of reservists and he probably figures that he might as well keep his attack fresh at all times. Coaches Fisher and Huntington met and decided that the game should start at 2:30 P. M. Instead of 2. as announced by the tournament com mittee. They thereupon convinced the committee that 2:30 should be the hour and the starting time was switched, so 2:30 P. M. is the time. The reason for the switch is that the coaches figure It out that it will be cooler from 2:30 on. "BUCK. FEVER" NOT PRESENT Marion MeClain Write Oregon Has Plenty of Confidence. EUGENE, Or, Dec 29. (Special.) "Nobody is getting cocky, but there Is a remarkable absence of 'buck fever in our bunch." wrote Marlon F. McCIaln. graduate manager at the University of Oregon, who Is with the football team at Pasadena. In his letter to friends here he says the boys look at the situation Just as they would at an Oregon Agricultural col lege game. "I promise you there'll be a fight on New Year's day and somebody be sides the Oregon bunch will be aware of tho fact," said the graduate man ager. Continuing he wrote: "We find lots of friends down here and, the tournament committee Is doing everything possible to show us a good time. "Babe" Ruth and all of the other Dos Angeles baseball boys have asked to be allowed to sit with the Oregon rooters. We took them on. The Toronto Hockey league in cludes 100 teams and the players want dressing rooms provided, in city rinks. bbbbcbSmSbW - t i minx 7 ?- - rWBP&&& TWO OREGON TEAMS WANTED IN SOUTH Southern California Seeks Game With Aggies. TRIP IS HELD UNLIKELY Battle at Pullman Week Later Does Not Give Enough Deewny, De clares J. .1. Richardson. The University of Southern Callor niajs showing a strong desire to fea ture the two big Oregon football teams on their 1920 schedule. The Oregon Aggies have received an offer of a game at Is Angeles Saturday. November 6, according to James J. Richardson, general manager of stu dent activities at the Corvallis in stitution, who is a Portland visitor. The Aggies have not yet closed with the Los Angeles institution. It has been said that the University of Ore gon will play the University of South ern California at Loa Angeles next Thanksgiving day. The University of Southern Cali fornia is trying hard to break into the Pacific coast conference and prob ably has a motive in Its endeavor to schedule both Oregon Institutions on the 1920 list of gridiron contests, (initie Is Held Unlikely. It is not likely that the Oregon Aggies will play Southern California on November 6. The Aggies are al ready billed to clash with Washington State at Pullman November 13, and it would not be possible to make the long jump from Los Angeles to Pull man and have the Aggies In f'ghting fettle. Richardson is not averse to playing a game in Portland Saturday, Novem ber 6, if his present plans mature. He has suggested to another Pacific coast institution that a strong eastern or middle west eleven be brought to the coast next season for two games one to be played in Portland and the other at a place to be designated by the Institution to which Richardson has submitted the proposition. Action re garding this plan was expected to come to a head this week when the wild hunt for a strong eleven will start. The expense of bringing a team west for two games would not be much more than for one game, so the management would be Ideal from a financial standpoint to the host schools. More Games In Demand. "It would be a good thing for col lege football if two of the Pacific coast teams could together each year bring out a strong aggregation from east of the Rockies for two games on this coast," said Richardson yester day. "First of all. there is a grow ing demand for more games on the campus. The students are entitled to at least two conference games when ever possible. "Then we must have money with which to conduct football and other major sports, and the only way to obtain it is through a big game in Portland. I am In favor of making it a yearly affair, and it won't be long before we will have the big eastern schools looking for the two dates on the Pacific coast. Nothing more has been heard from the University of Washington regard the contract sent the Oregon Aggies for a game to be played in Seattle October 23, 1920. Richardson stated vesterday that he had received tele grams from Washington State col lege and Stanford asking If the re port that the Aggies had signed a two-year contract with Wasnington on a straight guarantee basis was true. Richardson immediately an swered to the contrary. Split Arrangement Lauded. "There Is no use arguing this mat ter through the newspapers," said Richardson. "The conference voted, 5 to 1, to play all football games on a 50-50 basis. That ought to settle it. Some people have suggested a 60-40 cut, saying that the home team Is put to more expense than the visit lng club, for instance, advertising, of ficlals and other expenses, but they do not stop to consider that we can not travel on the railroads and stop at the leading hotels for nothing. The visiting team has more expenses than the host team. It really looks to me like the conference acted wisely The baseball, basketball and track schedules of the Oregon Agricultural college are nearlng completion. The Pacific coast conference delegates at Seattle squabbled so much over the football schedule that the delegates left before concluding their worK or arranging basketball, baseball and trftfK. so that much of this is now being carried to completion through the mails. Richardson is in Portland purchas ing equipment for the college hospital. RUTH'S SUPERIORS CITED Seven Homers in One Game Was Wright's Record in 1867. Babe Ruth has pulverized all home hitting records for a season, but there are still a few feats that the bully Babe never has touched, and under modern major league conditions probably never will. Harry Wright holds the title for a single day's clubbing. He slammed out seven home runs in a nine inning tilt against the Holt club of Newport. Ky., In 1867. thereby breaking Lip Pike's record of six, made the year before against the Alerts of Phila delphia. And. as an enduring monu ment to old timers, the Athletics, in 1865 made 25 circuit clouts in a game against the National club of Jersey City. Back in August, 1914, there oc cured the strangest feat in home-run hitting that baseball has ever known. It was prepetrated by Calbert and Kelly, playing with the Charleston team of the Ohio State league. In the initial contest Kelly hit the first pitched ball over the fence for a home run. Calbert duplicated the feat on the next pitched ball. On the second day the batting order was switched and Calbert batted first. He crashed out a home run on the first ball, and Kelly did exactly the same thing in his turn at bat. The third day saw the same strange coincidence. Cal bert and Kelly, batting one after the other slashed out home runs, each on the first pitched ball. GOLFERS TO HAVE IX.MXfl Clubs Lift Ban on Courses for New Year's Day Pastimers. After a forced vacation of a couple of weeks, Portland golfers will swing into action again on New Years day. With the exception of Christmas day. local linksmen for the past two weeks have been compelled to confine their play to the indoor variety. The Wav- erley Country club. Tualatin Country ltib and the Portland Golf club will open their courses to members who wish to pass up other New Year's day attractions for the ancient Scot tish pastime. The municipal links at Eastmore- land have been open to the golfers for several days, but the heavy fog which has hung over the city for the past week has greatly handicapped the players there as well as the other clubs. It has been hard to keep the golf enthusiast away from the various clubs and in order to protect the courses against possible damage while in a soft condition it has been neces sary to use. temporary greens. COOLIDGE SPURS CRIMSON Bay State Governor Expresses Hope for Harvard Victory. BOSTON, Dec. 29.

It Is believed that the crack bats man will be named as manager. ADAMS STAGES COMEBACK Former World Series Star Pitches Great Ball for Pittsburg. Babe Adams staged a real come back with the Pittsburg Pirates in 1919. Star df the Pittsburg-Detrolt world series in 1909, he showed all his old prowess for the Pirates last summer, being ranked fifth in effi ciency. He appeared in 34 games, winning 17 and losing 10. His seven shutouts gives him second place, tied with Hod Kller of the Reds. He pitched 23 complete games and was a rescuer In five others.

Usually an easy-going, walt-till-the-last-minute sort of person, Duke P. Kahanamoku Is not leaving the matter of training for the Olympic games until a month or so before the hour set. Every afternoon finds the great sprinter at the beach but now he is In the water Instead of play ing the part of a "sand louse." Every day the duke swims 100 yards under a stop "watch and then prac tices spurts, starts and takes breath ing exercises. This method of train ing is so unusual for Kahanamoku that It is exciting the comment of all his backers. In the past few weeks of light training was sufficient to put "the swimmer in good enough shape to beat all opponents. This time It looks like Duke means business and that this means new records at the Olympic games in the 100 meters. EUGENE WII.I. SEND ROOTERS Delegation From City Will Go t. Pasadena for Big Contest. EUGENE. Or.. Dec. 29. (Special.) The University of Oregon football team will have quite a number of rooters from Eugene at the game on New Year's day.

Arrangements are being made by both local papers to receive a detailed report of the game during its progress and each play as it comes over the wire will be megaphoned on the streets. A special wire will also be strung to the Eugene theater, where the plays will be announced. HEAVY' SCHEDULE ARRANGED Undefeated Stevens Tech Eleven to Tackle Topnotchers in 1920. NEW YORK. Dec. 29.

Walter Camp, for almost 40 years connected with Yale university ath letics, has declined an offer to go to Carnegie Tech. at Pittsburg, and be come director of athletics. Camp was last week dropped from Yale's foot ball committee. Ohio State Coach Attends Game. Coach Jack Wilce of Ohio State is one of the many easterners to arrive in Pasadena to view the New Year's day contest. PULLMAN, Wash.. Dec- 29. (Spe cial.) It was learned here today that William H. (Lone Star) Dletz, famous coach of the Washington State college elevens of 191a. 1916 and 1917, is being seriously consid ered by the athletic authorities of the University of Idaho for the po sition of head coach of football for next season. The persons in posses sion of the Information refused to have their names made public but are friends of the former Indian grid mentor, now on the faculty of the college. Dletz Is at present engaged in pro ducing movies at Hayden Lake, near Spokane. The art of depicting the real native life of his people has been one of the ambitions of Diet? and rumor Is that Dletz is waxing wealthy at the game. That his inter est In the great college game has not waned was evident this past season, when he gave prep talks to the Cou gars between halves of the Multno? mah and Washington university games. Idaho In Bud Fix. From what can be learned here the athletic situation at the Gem state institution is at low ebb, due to many losses on the gridiron of the Bilver and gold players during the past three seasons. Old graduates and townspeople of Moscow as well as under-graduates are willing to sub scribe heavily to a fund to secure a coach with a national reputation for next season's eleven. They point out that the squad this season was composed of highly capa ble material, but that the changing of coaches In mid-season was a great handicap for the eleven. Conference Seart Desired. There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of local football followers that the securing of the service of Dletz on the part of the Oem staters would mean a powerful eleven at that Institution. The material which would greet him next fall would be on a par with that of any of the north west colleges. It is known that the University of Idaho is desirous of obtaining ad mission to the Pacific Coast confer ence, and with a successful season admittance scarcely would be denied. MICHIGAN TOPS INVADERS HIGH SCORE ON WEST TEAM WAS 10-0 IN 1902. Win Over Leland Stanford hj Bast Steam Roller Is Recalled as Greatest Victory. Vahile Brown, Syracuse. Pennsyl vania, Carlisle and Nebraska have at different times crossed the Rockies to engage in football struggles with Pacific coast organizations, the team that climaxed Its jaunt to the coast with the most resounding bang was the famous "point-a-minute" aggre gation from the University of Michi gan that beat Leland Stanford 49 to 0 on January 2. 1902. tost's great "steam roller." which ran up a score of 601 to 0 during the 1901 season, tore through the western eleven for nine touchdowns and four goals. Michigan's trip was sandwiched in between two visits paid the west by the Carlisle Indians, who made their first visit in 1899 and beat the Uni versity of California only by a safety Scored by tho westerners during a mix up near their own goal line. In 1903 Carlisle again tangled with the "native sons" and this time won. S3 to 0. There were no more east-west games played until 1916. when Syra cuse was invited to go into action against Montana. Oregon Agricultural college and the Occidental of Cali fornia. In Montana, the Syracuse team was relieved of Its elation fol lowing a highly successful season in the east, by a tie game. 6 to 6. Hav ing returned to earth again, Syra cuse beat the Oregon Aggies. 28 to 0, and completed Its western Invasion by winning from Occidental, 36 to 0. Brown was the next eastern school to come over the Rockies. Wash ington State blanked Brown, while getting two touchdowns and two goals on New Year's dy. 1916. Pennsylvania lost to Oregon by a 14 to 0 score in 1917. EVERETT BOWS TO GRIDDERS Town Will Shut Up Sliop for High school Game. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 29. The football game at Everett.

OHIO AFTER HUGE STADIUM Campaign Begun to Erect Stand With Capacity for 52.000. COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 29. A U shaped stadium with a seating capac ity of more than 52.000 people, costing approximately J600.000 is the dream of students and alumni of Ohio State university. The best part of it is the fact that a finance committee is actively at work soliciting funds for the construction. Under the present plan of raising the money, work should be started by June and the stadium should be ready -for dedica tion at the start of the 1921 football season. Business men of Columbus, through their chamber of commerce 'and other organisations, have organized a com mittee of 25 men, Includlng'Professor Thomas E.

With the pick of American lighters deserting these shores dally for Eng land and France. Charley White, the famous Chicago lightweight, who will tangle ten rounds with Muff Bronson at the Milwaukie arena New Year's afternoon, does not plan to be left behind, and as soon as he returns to his home will pack his duds and sail for the land where champagne still forms a part of the battler's training diet. Before he leaves for France and England White would like to get Benny Leonard inveigled into a 20 round decision bout, and Denver pro moters have already bid a purse of $30,000 for such a contest. Ever since his memorable 20-round bout with Freddie Welsh for the world's lightweight championship. In which he lost the decision. White has been after another crack at the title. Bllly Roche's verdict in the White-Welsh battle never looked good to some of the thousands that were at the flght at Colorado Springs. His little side trip to the Pacific coast- has proved a great stimulus to White, and he says that after he gets through with Bronson he will lose little time either getting a match with Leonard or leaving for across the pond. White has been training from S to 12 rounds dally and Bron son will have to step if Charley's workouts are any criterion. m m m Boy McCormiek. light-heavyweight champion of England, put in a busy session yesterday for his ten-round whirl against Frank Farmer. The substitution of Farmer for Tommy Gibbons has not weakened the card In the least and the fans are warm ing up to the bill as never before in fistic annals here. m m m Al Sommers is sore. Al wanted a chance to meet Boy McCormiek, but Frank Farmer edged him out. Al will have a chance to make good, however, as he is down to meet Jack Hall in one of the four main events of the Milwaukee card New Year's afternoon.
