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,

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.

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."

Hayward is working the Eugene

of having Brandy Brandenburg or

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.

"I promise you there'll be a fight
on New Year's day and somebody be
sides the Oregon bunch will be aware

"We find lots of friends down here

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.

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.

Until Tommy Simpson and Battling
Ortega return from Portland tonight
It will not be known just how much
the pair "dropped" in the Darcy
match.
Simpson went north to bet on Or
tega. He said much of his money
would be wagered that Ortega would
stop Darcy. Admitting that Simpson
saved something out of the wreck to
bet that Ortega would win the de
cision. It is hardly likely that he
would allow the possibility of a draw
to be taken into consideration. This
means that what money Simpson did
bet on the result carried the proviso
that If Darcy xot a draw. Darcy won.
Simpson not only figured Ortega a
cinch to win. but believed tho Battler
would stop his man. It is probable
then that T. S. bet the remainder of
the wad on the decision going to Or
tega: draw the Darcy adherents take
the layout.
Ortega, it would seem, does his best

W-B CUT
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
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.

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. Hall is a recent arrival on
the Pacific coast from Australia and
howled over a good hoy in a cou
ple of rounds in Seattle the other
night. Dan Salt, who Is rated as one
of the best judges of boxing talent In
these parts, liked Hall's work so
well that he signed the Australian up
for his stable.
Portland fans will have an oppor
tunity to see how the army life af
fected Sommers and if Hall Is as good
as the majority of Australians who
havt visited this country. Australia,
unlike Kngland. Is not prone to fur
nishing a crop of lemons In the flstic
line and nearly every man here from
the antipodes has made good-

fast rounds with Muff Bronson yes
