PASADENA, CaU Deo. 81. When
Rud Kipling wrote "East Is east and
west Is west, and never the twain
cha.ll meet," he failed to reckon with
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses,
for the two hook up in mortal combat
on the morrow. Old Harvard univer
sity, representing the east coast, will
trot out on the turf field of Tourna
ment park, opposed to Oregon, picked
aa the best produced this side of the
Rockies during 1919.
The exhibition will be the third be
tween great universities fighting fot
the honor of their respective local
ities. Because of the war service
teams were on the bill of fare on
New Year's day '18 and '19. "With
college football back to normal, we
will once more gaze upon the spec
tacle of two dashing varsity elevens
fighting for their Alma Mater, their
state and their section of the
country.

Only light workouts were held by i
the teams this afternoon. Harvard '
worked first and not even the Boston
newspapermen were admitted. Most
of the period, 'which lasted for almost i
an hour, was devoted to signal prac
tice. The Crimson aerial attack was
also brushed up.
Taking the field at 3 P. M., Oregon

Pasadena Sidelights.
BY PORTER W. YETT.
PASADENA. CaL. Dec 81. (Spe
-lal.) Coach "Shy" Huntington eaid
he Oregon team is In the best condi
tion of the year and Is ready to go.
'i'rainer Bill Hayward said: "You
fcan tell the people of Oregon that the
toys are Just as good as the day they
entered the University of Washington
contest and every one of them will do
or die for Oregon."
George Varnell, referee, witnessed
both teams in their last workouts
this afternoon at Tournament Dark
and said: "The Oregon team looks to
be In better condition than at any
time this year." He further states
that Harvard also looks to be the
poods, and it should be the greatest
game ever staged in the west.
E. Plowden Stott of Portland, head
linesman, when asked to pick a win
ner, smiled and said: "Harvard looks
formidable and Oregon Is in fine
shape. It should be a wonderful
game."
Telegrams have been arriving hour
ly from all parts of Oregon, and these
messages have added cheer and fight
to every member of the team. Gov
ernor Oloott, the State Chamber of
Commerce, Jamas J. Richardson of the
Oregon Aggies, Fred Boehler of the
Washington State college. Coach
Evans of Stanford have all sent mes
Bapes of cheer lo the team.
Holly Huntington, William Steers
and Coach "Shy" Huntington received
a. telegram from The Dalles high
school ctating that they were proud
of the boys from The Dalles and
were expecting them to bring home
the bacon.
Baz Williams will start the game at
eft guard in the place of Al Harding,
Spike" Leslie working In Baz" place
at left tackle. This shift Is made to
strengthen Oregon's line during the
first part of the game. Harding will
be used as the first-line relief man.
Keith "Brick" Leslie will be back
at center, with "Prink" Callison in
reserve. This makes the Oregon line
up shape up as the best team they
have been able to start this season.
Harvard, although here only five
days, has worked hard and, according
to "Pooch" Donovan, they are in good
shape.
Coach Bob Fisher says that he ex
pects to take advantage of all the
weight he can and is starting, both
the Horweens in the backfleld and
Bubbles" Havemeyer at center on
account of their extra heft. Although
he expects to win, he is not a bit
overconfident and does not underrate
the Oregonians.
The writer personally believes that
the Harvard eleven should win, but
Oregon s fighting condition may
change the result. The score should
be very close.
Oregon as Strong as Har
vard? No, Says Hay ward.
Oreffon Trainer Indicates Eastern,
era Will Win Today.
BY CHRISTY WALSH.
PASADENA, Cal., Dec 81. (Spe
cial.) If Bill Hayward spoke the
truth yesterda.y. the studious visitors
from Cambridge town are -about due
to handle the Webfoot tourists Inti
mately, If Indeed not roughly. And
Bill is. the Oregon trainer.
The most satisfactory means of
comparing these widely separated
champions Is to take Harvard's rec
ord for the season just closed and
then review .' what Oregon did to a
crack eastern aggregation several
winters back.
On the basis of the Yale-Harvard
game, November of this year, the
red-vested athletes would never be
favorites in a world series of the grid
iron. Holding down a seat on the
kick-off line, where every play was
"close-up," it was easy to see why
Bob Fisher's pets were only one
touch-down superior to Yale, which
team, by the way, was 80 per cent
Jim Braden a smashing human tank.
Yale fumbled like a high school
team from the sagebrush. Harvard
took advantage of the fumbles. If
Oregon is as good as the day she hum
bled the touted Berry and his Penn
sylvania team mates, the aristocrat
of eastern football should lose at
Pasadena by one touch-down.
But Is Oregon that good? Bill Hay-
ward wiggles his head In the nega
tive. But since Bill has been on . the
job at Oregon for 17 autumns and is
rated as one of the smartest shower-
bath professors In the business, it Is
reasonable to suppose he is not tell
ing all he thinks for publication.
EVERETT MAKES JTO CLAIMS
Washington Lads In Good Condi

EVERETT, Wash., Dec 81. Ever
ett, high school's football team, which
tomorrow meets the Scott high school,
Toledo, Ohio, eleven in - what Is
claimed will be a contest for the pre
paratory school championship of the
United States, tonight is in condition
to play good football. Coach Enoch
Bagshaw declared.
Beyond that statement the Everett
coach would make no claims for his
men, or any prediction as to the out
come of the game.

COUGARS FIGURE AHEAD
NEXT GAME WITH OREGON
MAY BE AT PORTLAND.
Even Split of Receipts Found Satis
factoryGame at Multnomah
to Open Season.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
Pullman.-' Dec 81. (Special.) It Is
highly probable that Portland foot
ball fans will be the first to see the
elevens of the University of Oregon
and Washington State college In ac
tion next season. It was announced
today by members of the athletic
council of the state college that nego
tiations were under way with the
Eugene Institution for a grid battle
to b played on Multnomah field, the
game to be the opener of the confer
ence season for both schools.
The game would be played on the
even split of receipts, which arrange
ments were found very satisfactory
this season when the Cougars ap
peared twice on the Multnomah grid
Iron against the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Aggies. It Is figured
that the game next season will draw
an even larger attendance than was
present this season to see the Oregon
Cougar battle, which was a record
breaker for Portland collegiate foot
ball attendances.
Announcement was made here to
day by athletlo authorities that the
University of Southern California's
proposals for a football clash in Los
Angeles next season are being seri
ously considered. If the game Is con
tracted it will probably fall on an
early season date.

rounds, which was Just a work-out
for him. Farmer was afraid he might
Injure his hands, so contented himself
with Just holding Hector ofr ror the
12 minutes of stepping. Because of
his mill with Hector, Farmer had been
training for several weeks, so if any
thing, he should be in better condi
tion, if such a thing was possible,
than the fighting Irishman, who
brought England's best light-heavy
weights to his feet and won the Lord
Lownsdale belt. McCormick is
fighter through and through, but is
no novice when It comes to clever
ness. He has a peculiar way of step
ping away from a punch. Just taking
the end of his opponent s glove, ana
can step around with the best of
them.
Charlie White of Chicago, con
tender for the world's lightweight
crown, is primed for his ten-round
mix with Muff Bronson, on whom the
Portland fans are pinning their faith.
Muff has trained as he never has
trained before, and Is out to register
victory over bis formidable opponent.
White Is one of the greatest light
weights ever developed, and If Muff
could hold his own even, it would be
a great feather in his cap. The Chi
cago boxer has been working hard for
the match, and does not Deueve in
taking chances against anyone. His
snaky left, with the kick of T. N. T
in it. has been working smoothly in
his daily sessions in the gymnasium,
and it will be up to Bronson to estay
away from it.
Earl Balrd te Make Start.
Earl Baird, former amateur feath
erweight champion of the United
States, will make his first profes-
ional start In fortiana tnis aiter-
noon against Joe uorman. aooui a
year ago Balrd received so many flat
tering offers that ne decided to turn
professional, and since that time has
been meeting tne best reatnerweignis
and lightweights on the Pacific coaBt-
He took part In 12 main events in
Los Angeles for Jack Doyle, three or
four in San KranciBco and about a
half dozen top-line starts in Seattle.
He has won most of his bouts, fought
a draw in a few of them and his
losses has been about as many as a
chicken has teeth.
Boxing fans who remember Balrd
as an amateur recall one of the great
est little men they ever had the pleas
ure to witness in action. He has been
traveling at a fast clip since taking
on all comers in the squared clrrtle,
and Joe Gorman should be In for a
mighty hot session. They are sched
uled to go eight rounds. It is likely
that this match will go the distance,
and some fast fighting can be de
pended upon to crammed In.
The other eight-round bout will be
between Al Sommers, the aggressive
Portland middleweight, and Jack Hall
of Australia. Dan Salt speaks highly
