STANFORD SEEKS FOOTBALL COACH TO REPLACE EVANS Gilmour Dobie Anxious to Come . Back to Pacific Coast Evans' Dismissal Discussed. T- VIES BUS SS1G CHALLENGE FORMER WASHINGTON GRIDIRON MENTOR WHO MAY RETURN TO COAST. "DIXIE" WALKER IN PLOT Ccavcr Boss Would Sign Southern Boy to September 1, Filling Out With Bill Speas. North Carolina's early tobacco har vest is cutting seriously into Port land's plans for1 building up .a star Pacific Coast league outfield for next year. Frank Walker, it will be re called, quit the Beavers cold last fall so as to be on deck for bringing in the Havana sheaves in the early Sep tember days back in ol' North Caro- liny And Walt McCredie is afraid it will be the same story in 1920 if he brings "Dixie" back to don a Portland uni form However, Walt's uncle, the judge, Is possessed of a fertile mind and now the eminent jurist-president of Port land's baseball destinies has a brain wave that may furnish a way out of the dilemma. In short, the judge would send Walker a contract cov ering the baseball season only up to September 1 after which date Bill Speas would be summoned south from Hegina, Canada, to do the pastiming in one of the gardens just as he did last fall after Walker left for his home. Speas Likes Idea. "Sure, I'll come," remarked the doughty Bill Speas yesterday when the judge trotted out the new brain wave and hung it up in front of the drier. "My Regina club will be through up in western Canada by that time and I would be in good condition. Last fall I hadn't been in a uniform for two weeks when Walter McCredie asked me to jump into harness, but at that time I bagged three hits in the double-header my first day out. Of course, it would be necessary for Portland to buy Speas from Hegina to make the deal legal, but that would be easy for the judge and Walt. Away back in 1911 or 1912 Portland's Coast league club was in dire need of a good outfielder down the home stretch and so the Judge transferred Speas from the Portland Northwest league club to the Portland Pacific Coast league club and paid himself a fabulous sum for his Colt gardener. That was the only year the Portland Northwest league club ever 11, mm. K V :x-x-:-:''::'.;: Winner of Gibbons-McCor mick Match Is Objective.

Evans had a very snrressful season at Stanford last fall, considering that it was Stan ford's first year at American foot ball in a decade, but Evans lacked much in courtesy. It is said in San Francisco that when the graduate manager of the stanrora ainieiica nresented one of he San Francisco Tn A rr newspapermen to Jtivans, xne inner lumeu wit " even shake hands. And the paradox of it was that the San Francisco newsman tas a Stanford graduate. Evans couldn't take criticism. His "peeve" in this -instance came as an aftermath to the Stanford-California freshman game. Stanford switched its identification numbers on the players' backs and the newspapers "rode" the coaches a little. They had it coming because the only ones who were fooled by the juvenile trick were the spectators. After that Evans and his assistant wouldn't have any thing to do with the football experts and that is chiefly wny juvans is now looking lor a job. ElES DEFEAT COUGARS BEAVKB HOOPERS GO STROXG AFTER SLOW START. Corvallis Five Steams First Half, Winning Handily by 31-to-ll Count. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Feb. 6. (Special.) The Oregon Aggie basketball team won the opening game of the series with the Washington State college five here Anight by the score of 31 to 11. It was five minutes before either team did any scoring and then Stlnson started the fireworks by net ting a field basket for the local team. The Beavers held the lead until the middle of the first half when the Cougars jumped to the fore. A long clean shot from the middle of the floor by McCart again put the Beavers in the lead, which they held to the final whistle. The first half was fast and hard fought but neither team .could locate the basket. The first session ended 8 to 5 in favor of the Beavers. After the first few minutes of play in the second half the Oregon Aggies hit their stride and from then on there was no doubt as to the outcome of the contest. Copeland did most of the scoring for the Cougars with three field baskets to his credit, while Mclvor showed up to good advantage as an all-around player. Stinson was high point man for the Beavers with 17 points. The teams will meet in the second game of the series tomorrow night. The lineup: O. A. C. 31). Wub. State (111.

Light-heavyweights galore are sending-in challenges to the wipner of the Tommy Gibbons-Boy McCon- mick clash next Wednesday night at the Milwaukie arena for the world's light-heavy title. A few of those who have written or telegraphed to matchmaker Frank Kendall are Billy Kramer, Bartley Madden, Bill Bren- nan, Jeff Smith, "Chuck" W iggins, Ed Warner, Jack Reeves, "Spud Murphy and a host of others. The first four named battlers are well known to the fight fans through out the country as among the best in the business at their weight. Brennan is probably the heaviest of the four, weighing around 185 pounds while Smith is the lightest, scaling proba bly 165 pounds. Everyone of them is eager to tackle Gibbons or McCormick and no doubt some good matches between the big men will be In store for the fistic fans, once the titular Question is settled. "Chuck" Wiggins, is a middle west ern boxer, whom Tommy Andrews took to Australia with him about four months ago. Andrews took five other American boxers of various weights and Wiggins was the only one to deliver, winning- four out of five matches he participated in in the Antipodes. He is at present in San Francisco, having returned from Aus tralia last week and is anxious to box in the northwest before returning home. Ed Warner, "Spud" Murphy and Jack Reeves are San Francisco boxers. Alex Greggains is piloting Reeves and is loud in his praises for his , protege. Reeves has been fighting only several months, but during that time has met such gladiators as Jimmy Darcy, "Battling" Ortega and Frank Farmer. Greggains claims that McCormick has not been particularly anxious to meet Reeves over the four round route and would like to get a test for his youngster In a ten-round battle. All of the boxers will be given con sideration, but in the meantime there is the result of the ensuing battle to be watched. Gibbons is scheduled to arrive here this afternoon from Chi cago and will resume training at once. He registered an easy victory over "Knockout" Brown in Peoria, 111., last Monday night, so is already in excel lent shape. A few days of gymna sium work will round him into the best of condition. Boy McCormick is continuing his j daily training grinds and will be on edge for Gibbons next Wednesday night. Joe will begin training at once for his ten-round go with Freddie Ander son here. - According to the latest dope the match has again been post poned, so there is nothing definite as to when the next card will be staged in Portland. March 3 looms as the date of the Anderson-Benjamin bout, but even that is uncertain. Benjamin was first slated to box Anderson February 6, From the sixth the date was shot up to February 20 then to February 27 and now into March. Jimmy Darcy will meet Ed Warner in the main event of tonight's card in San Francisco. Alex Trambitas will box Joe Azevedo in the semi-windup. U. S.

Two more boxing cards this month and four in March may be in store for the fistic followers. Matchmaker Frank Kendall of the Milwaukie box ing commission announced yesterday that it was the plan of the commis sion to stage another card about Feb ruary 20 or 24 and next month on March 10, 17 and 31. The Portland boxing commission may hold a bill March 3, and perhaps another, all depending on the boxers that prove to be available. Willie Bernstein, who is looking after Joe Benjamin and Jimmy Mar shall here, received a letter from Billy Gibson yesterday to the effect that the latter was leaving for the Pacific coast next Tuesday with Benny Leonard, lightweight cham pion of the world.

Ed Warner, who hasn't ap. peared at Dreamland rink since the night he laid Goat Lavin low, was given a thorough trouncing tonlgh in the main event by Jimmy Darcy of Portland. Warner proved no better boxer tonight than upon his first ap pearance. He was up against a fighte of different caliber in Darcy and never had a chance to land one of hl readed right-hand swings. Darcy took matters easily in the first roun and started to shoot in the second The third round was a bad one for Warner and the fourth even worse for Darcy timed his man nicely and Warner was lucky to stay. Joe Azevedo and Alex Trambitas, rothcr of Jimmy Darcy, boxed raw. By far the best fight of the night was the slugging match between Jim my Dundee of Oakland and Young Brown of Los Angeles, that ended in draw. Frankie Jones won from Bum Spiers. Mickey Drexel beat Eddie Stark. Kddie Moore won from Mickey rown. Sailor Suddington was given the dc cision over Red Murray. JEFFERSON BEATS STUDENTS High School Y. M. C. Five Outclasses A. Tohsers. Stanford's kid stunt in switching numbers on the football players backs calls to' mind that too little re gard is paid to the spectators in big athletic events. Tnis is true ot Dase ball as well as of football. At Pasa dena last New Year's day whoever got out the official programmes for the Oregon-Harvard game must nave had a terrible thirst about 7 o clocK the night before because the pro grammes were about 1,000,000 fur longs off on the numbers worn by the Oregon players. Most or tne spec tators went home wondering why Bill Steers did not play and praising some almost obscure third stringer for his remarkable showing, whten, as a matter of fact, it was little Man erude wearing the other man's num ber. Manerude and Steers and two or three other Oregon players were fear fully jumbled up in the programmes. and the mistake undoubtedly de tracted from the enjoyment of thou, sands of the football fans.' During the baseball season It is a rare treat for the fans to be able to pay 5 or 10 cents for a baseball pro gramme witn- tne correct lineup and get anything even approximating the correct lineup and batting order. I have often wondered what the fans do with those official programmes but tbey do buy them just the same. The University of Washington threatens to quit the Pacific coast conference unless the conference re scinds its rule requiring a 50-60 split of football receipts after student ticket money and local expenses have been deducted. Nobody will cry in Los Angeles if Washington with draws. The University of Southern California is trying to get into the conference and would welcome a va cancy. And the Los Angeles institu tion well deserves consideration. Last fall California defeated Southern Cal ifornia at football by the spare mar gin of one point, while Southern Cali-, j THE WORST THING I KNOW OF. j t irOi.CfJ " X r - wW J f ' li V KT HC .
