WASHINGTON SEEKS
TO KILL SPLIT RULE
Sound College Still Balks a
50-50 Division.
SUCCESS HELD UNLIKELY
Fred Bohler of "Washington State
Confident Majority "of Schools
Will Stand by Guns.
, When the annual track meet of the
Pacific Coast conference is held at
Stanford this spring an effort will be
made by the University of Washing
ton to bring about an abrogation of
the resolution adopted at the Decem
ber meeting which requires a 6U-6U
split of football gate receipts. Just
at present this resolution is holding
up the several coast college football
Schedules, and, unless somebody backs
down may result in the withdrawal of
one or two of the present colleges
from the conference.
According to J. Fred Bohler, ath
letic director at Washington State
college, who is with his basketball
quint at, Corvallis, the colleges which
voted in favor of the new 60-50 rule
are determined to stick, and Wash
ington can quit the conference if she
prefers this course to obeying the
mandate. Although reports have been
given out in Seattle that Stanford
and the Oregon Aggies have signed
contracts for football games it is
known that neither college has yel
signed with Washington. Washing
ton, however, has gridiron clashes
scheduled with Whitman and "Mon
tana and one with Dartmouth, but
that menu scarcely will Batisfy the
palate of the football enthusiasts in
the Washington metropolis.
Therefore, viewed from all angles.
It is evident that unless the smaller
Institutions get severe attacks of
"cold feetitis" the powers that be at
the Uuniversity of Washington will
have to swallow the medicine and
give In to the inevitable.
Washington . Begins to Hedge.
Already Washington has hedged a
bit by offering a 60-50 contract to the
Oregon Aggies, but there was a joker
in the offer, to-wit: that the return
game in 1921 be played in Portland.
The Oregon Aggies promptly refused
to be dictated to in the matter of the
second game. The offer from Seattle
at least shows that Graduate Man
ager Meisnest sees the handwriting on
the porch rails.
California is the only Institution in
the conference that might aid Wash
ington if the matter is brought up
again during the track carnival at
Stanford. However, California and
Stanford are playing their big game
under a 50-50 split contract, and, in
asmuch as California voted favorably
at the December meeting, there seems
slight possibility of a complete re
versal of faith on the part of the
Berkeley officials.
Bohler Explains System.
"It is the only fair arrangement
for both large and small institutions,
said Coach Bohler of Washington
State. Bohler, by the way, is secre
tary of the conference. "The rule
does not require a 90-60 split of al1!
revenues derived; trora tne Dig games.
The home team is permitted to keep
the student ticket money and. fur
thermore, the home team is allowed
approximately 1500 for local expenses,
officials, etc. The resolution requires
that the receipts over and above these
expenses be split equally between the
teams. This system is in vogue in
practically all the big college confer
ences in the country.
Washington State college negoti
ated with the University of Washing'
ton for a game, but negotiations
closed when the Seattle graduate
manager issue an ultimatum that
there would be no game under the
60-60 scheme. - Washington State
thereupon accepted an offer to play
the University of Nebraska at Lin
coin on Thanksgiving day. There
fore this annual Washington cham
pionship morsel will not be played
this coming falL
Washington State's football sched
ule is as follows:
October 16, Idaho at Moscow; Oc
tober 30, Montana at Pullman: No
vember 6, California at Berkeley; No
vember 13, Oregon Aggies at Pullman;
Kovember 25. Nebraska at Lincoln.
Schock's decision was a "boot" and
thought that the worst Lux should
have had was a draw.
It was a slashing bout, with Davis
through his superior weight having
an edge for three rounds. His awk
ward style bothered Morris. Lux won
the fourth and fifth rounds, how
ever, and finished stronger in the
sixth, and the referee's call was
big surprise.
In the second main event of six
rounds Puggy Morton, the crack Los
Angeles lightweight, easily b e a
Harry Casey of Seattle. Morton won
every round and knocked Casey down
in the second round. There was no
questioning the call.
Lackey Morrow of Tacoma gave
away several pounds to Frank Pete
and still had an edge in their mill.
This bout was one of the sensations
of the card.
Fred Zink. Tacoma feather, and
Jack Davis of San Francisco fought
draw. In the opening bout Vernie
Hill, Tacoma lightweight, beat Kid
Ashford of Tacoma.
FIVE IS VICTOR
SOUTH PARKWAY IiOSES TO
SPEEDY CHEMAWA BOYS.
Kedmen Ran Away From Oppo-
nets In First Half Joe Bittlcs
Stars for Winners.
In the speediest basketball contest
that has been played here this season
the Chemawa Indian school five won
from the South Parkway quintet last
night on the Y. M. C. A. floor by
score of 24 to 18. Superior passing
and checking on the part of the
Chemawa boys proved to be too much
for the locals,
Coach E. H. Hauser's Indians ran
away from the local boys in the first
half which ended 11 to 5 in favor of
the visitors. Abe Goldstone, Park
ways small forward who connected
for one field basket and three fouls,
was the only man of the local team
who could do anything against the
visiting quintet in the first period.
On the scoring in the second period
the teams broke even with 13 points
apiece, but the lead which the In
dians had piled up during the first
session was enough for them to leave
the floor at the end of the game with
the Parkway team's scalps dangling
at their belts.
Joe Bittles, Chemawa forward, fea
tured prominently In the playing of
the visitors. The chunky forward
netted four field baskets and covered
the floor in great style. George Nix,
guard, was tied for scoring honors
with Bittles with eight points, mak
ing one basket from the floor and
converting six fouls.
The South Parkway team was
weakened somewhat by the absence
of Morris Rogoway. Abe Goldstone
made all the local team's points but
four, which were made by Dubinsky
and Popick.

rCXLMAX HOOPERS CAPTURE
HOT GAME, 29 TO 27.
Restrlt of Contest Remains in
Doubt Up to Final Whistle; Durno
Stars for Lemon-Yellow.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) Oregon
lost a close game to the Washington
State college quintet here tonight by
the score of 29 to 27. The lead al
ternated between the two teams until
the final whistle, and the result was
in doubt up to the last second. Moss
and Hockey starred for the visitors
and Durno and Latham for the
lemon-yellow.
The Staters appeared in fine condi
tion in spite of their long trip into
California, where they have been
playing this week. Their team work
and parsing excelled that of Oregon,
but they were only able to hold Eddie
Durno. Oregon's diminutive forward,
down to 19 points. 16 of which were
made from field baskets.
The lemon-yellow five started the
frame with a rush, Durno scoring first
and kept the lead during the half, the
period ending with the score 16 to 13
in favor of Oregon. The Cougars
staged a comeback in hte second half
staged a comeback in the second half
and froai then on it was a battle
royal, with first one team in the lead
and then the other. Rockey scored the
final field basket for the cougars
which gave them the game, and Moss
cinched it by a converted foul.
Tonight's game lowers Oregon's
standing in the coast conference and
puts the Cougars back to former
status, having lost their second game
with California. Oregon now has a
standing of .333. The lineup:.

Portland is well endowed with left-
handed twirlers at the present wrlt
lng.'but the caliber does not stack up
like the number, and a real good port-
sider would not be given the gate
without a hearing.
The left-handed flingers who are
now Beaver possibilities are "Lefty
Schroeder,. Dick Dunning, Fred Libke.
George H:er, Bill Lesher and J. H.
Cunningham. Dunning, Libke, Hier,
Lesher and Cunningham, who .have
yet to show their mettle, are in the
fold. "Lefty" Schroeder is a holdout
and says he will not play Coast league
ball this, season unless his demands
are met. Schroeder is at present
working in Salem, and, according to
the dope, will pitch for "Biddy" Bish
op's Salem Willamette Valley league
club this year.
Portland lost its southpaw bet
when "Red" Oldham was disposed of
to Detroit, and his shoes will be
a mighty hard pair to fill, but It may
oe Detroit that will do that trick lor
Walter McCredie.
The Tigers have four left-handed
pitchers "Dutch" Leonard. ' "Slim
Love, "Red" Oldham and a youth
named Okrie. One of these will be
likely let loose, and as the McCredies
are still on the best of terms with
Detroit, It would not' be amiss for
them to land one of these men, prob
ably Okrie.
Walter McCredie has yet to receive
the contracts of Luzern Blue. Wes
Kingdon and "Tex" Wiaterzll. the
mainstays of the infield, and the only
three holdovers from last season of
the inner defense. Blue and Kingdon
are holdouts, while it is said Wister
Irs signed contract is on the way to
baseball headquarters.
Another prospect was put on the
books yesterday when . it was an
nounced that Boss Walter had signed
A. V. King, a catcher, who resides in
Omaha, Neb. King was tipped off to
McCredie by a Detroit scout, and is
said to have the making of a real
backstopper.
The 1920 contracts will soon be
mailed to the Senators, and already
few of the stars have received their
next season's document. Among those
ho have been tendered their con
tracts are Roxy Middleton, Marty Mc-
Gaffigan, Roy Mitchell, Kenneth Pen-
ner and Fete Compton. While some
of the players of the league are al-
eady giving the scribes of the circuit
something to write about in their
holding out for money next year, it
is not expected there will be any
trouble in signing the Sacramento
players.
Several Coast league managers are
uerying Charles Comiskey as to
whether or not Arnold "Chic" Gandil.
and "Swede" Risberg are available.
If so they will be given a "trial" In
the spring. This pair of heavers of
the stitched pill stubbornly maintain
that they are through with Comiskey,
Gleason and company. The comment
on the alleged world's series scandal
caused the Sox stars to take their
present stand.
ease Dan lever at Stockton is so
high in regard to the Sacramento
team playing there that the city has
started to erect a clubhouse for the
players- at the ball grounds. The
games at Stockton will be played on
what is known as the Oak park
grounds and the city owns the park.
unariey Moreing is superintending
the Stockton expeditions and is more
than pleased, with the outlook.
When Seattle traded Lefty Thomas
to me St. Louis club for Oscar Horts
man and two other players to be de
uverea later, some of the fans up
mere mougnt Klepper pulled
bloomer, for Thomas was about the
only winning pitcher that club had
last season. But Klepper says the
cluo has picked up a young southpaw
named Sweeney who has far more
stuff than Thomas, and he expects
Sweeney to show as much as Walter
Mails.
He thinks Sweeney" win more than
fill the shoes of Thomas, and that
Hortsman will be a winner out here.
In addition, the club will get a couple
of seasoned players, and if one of
them happens to be a classy short
stop, the deal will be as good a one
for the Seattle club as the trade

After dropping its first two games
of the season, the Columbia university
basketball team came back with a
vengeance yesterday and trimmed the
James John quintet 19 to 10 on the
Washington high school floor. The
first part of the contest was slow and
ended 6 to 3, with the prep hoopers on
the long end of the score. It was five
minutes before either team could lo
cate the basket in the first half and
then Columbia got two baskets In
rapid succession. Hike Dunningan
converted a foul for the blue and
white and it began to look as if the
double J aggregation were in for a
whitewashing. A field basket by
Bauer and a foul shot by Brame saved
the James John crew from a blank
ing in the first half. Another foul by
Dunningan for Columbia ended , the
scoring in the first period.
Both teams livened up things m tne
second season and at times roughed
It with each other. Leon Fabre kept
the game well in hand at all times,
however, and there was no complaint
on his decisions from either side, in
all there were 13 personal fouls
called by Referee Fabre, seven on
February 20 50 yards for men. En
vnrdR for women.
February 21 220 yards tor men, 100 1 James John and six on Columbia. None

Coach George Dewey of the Colum
bia team, who has been confined to
his home on account of illness for the
past three. weeks, is able to be around
again and' put in two days coaching
the team before the game. The prep
school five showed a great improve
ment over their previous games. The
James John team was weakened some
what by the loss of two regulars, Dick
Girt and "Scrap Iron" Toole.
Mike Dunningan and Bus Douglas
divided the scoring honors on the Co
lumbia team, the former getting two
field baskets and converting three
foula while Douglas netted three bas
kets from the floor. Hubert Agee

prep school while Terry Johnson, the
lanky center, got two field baskets
in the second half.
For James John, Bauer was high

while Brame marked up one basket
from the floor and threw two fouls
