14 TITE 3IORNIXO OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1920 RAIN DAMPS SPIRITS ! OF OREGON ROOTERS! Wet Gridiron Favors Aggies' Heavier Warriors. BITTER BATTLE EXPECTED Slow Field at Corvallis Might Be Fatal to Open Play on Which Lemon-Yellow Relies. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) With a team in the best of condition as far as In juries are concerned. Oregon will meet Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis Saturday. Except for a few burns frdm the lime with which the field was marked last week, the lemon-yellow men are in the best shape of the season. "Shy" Huntington's chief worry at present is the rain. The O. A. C. grid iron is notorious all over the coast as one of the slowest fields after a little rain. At present there is a layer of two inches of old sawdust which will make the men slip. Considering that Oregon is considerably outweighed by the AgsMe line, those facts will miti gate considerably against her chances. The men are not at all overconfi dent as to the O. A. C. game, although the game with Washington was a comparatively simple matter. They realize .that O. A. C. will put up the hardest battle of the year against Oregon, owing to the rivalry between the two institutions. There will probably be little change In the Oregon lineup from last week. Ed Ward will still be out of the game, due to his broken shoulder. "Billy" Rinehart has been working at left half during the week. His work in the last quarter of the Washing ton game earned him that place. He may start the game at Corvallis. It is hard to predict the result of the game. Oregon defeated Wash ington by a larger score than the A&reies were nbl to Dile ud. That fact is negligible when one considers that Oregon played at home and O. A. C. played at Seattle. Next week the lemon-yellow warriors must meet Coach Rutherford's men on their home field. The rainy weather will be a decided disadvantage to the Oregon men, as they prefer an open style of play, which will be hampered by a slow field. There will be probably no more scrimmage for "Shy's" men this week. Light signal practice will be the or der from now on. AGU1ES HOPEFUL ABOUT FRAY ltd urn of Powell Puis Xew Lire Into Corvallis Team. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 17. (Special.) "Gap" Powell's return to the Ore eon Aggies' lineup has put new life into the team. Powell has been doing eome wonderful work in the back field, and has returned to his former pace of line bucking. Fear is felt lor Powell, as he is still in a weak ened condition, and it is possible that he will overdo himself in his attempt to get into shape in time for the Oregon fray. Trainer Butler has one of the hardest jobs of the season on his hands, not only is he working al most constantly with Powell, but "Christy" Christensen, who was seri ously injured during the Washington state game is still on the sick list. Little hope is entertained that Chris tensen will be able to enter the game. Harold MtKenna. the plunging under study of Powell will not be in con dition to give him any support. He was also taken out of the Pullman game, and it is doubtful if he will appear in suit the rest of the season. Hugh McKenna will have to handle the quarter position alone. Stanley Sommers, who has been showing up exceptionally well at quarter and halfback, is also out of the game. Coach Rutherford is rebuilding his team around Powell, with ICasberger and Hodler at halves. Harry Swan, the main stay at right tackle, is not in the condition that he should be, according to Butler, but it Is believed that he will enter the game in perfect shape. McFadden and Rose are showing up exceptionally well at the wing positions. While McFadden is new at the game he is making a wonderful record at follow ing down pun,ts and completing for ward passes. It was thought for awhile that it might be necessary to use him for punting, but with the return of Powell this will not be necessary. Coach Rutherford refused to say anything about the prospect for Saturday's game, except that the team will go into the game to win. despite the great handicaps. Trainer Butler promises to have the team in first-class condition as far as possible for the Oregon game. He is excep tionally well pleased with the show ing being made in practice. FOOTBALL GAME ENDS IX TIE Alblna and Kenilworth Park Teams Unable to Make Score. The fighting Albina eleven and the ivenllworth park football team bat tled to a scoreless tie on the East Twelfth and .Davis street grounds Sunday afternoon. The game was a bitterly fought affair from start to finish. The manager of the Albina team maintained that his squad was outweighed more than ten pounds to tne man. The features of the contest was the all-around playing of Burns, who. with Hergenreider, was the bin ground gainer for Alb'na. Dyna mite" Pete was the big noise on the Kenilworth park aggregation. So far this season the Albina team has not been defeated. Princeton Not Yet Decided. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17. No de cisions have as yet been made with regard to the Princeton university football team playing a game with a Pacific coast eleven, at Pasadena. Cal.. on New Year's day. William W. Roper, coach of the Princeton team, who lives here, said tonight that he had been unofficially advised an invita tion would be extended to have the ITlnceton team play in Pasadena. He has not been In Princeton for several days, he said, and does not know whether the official invitation has arrived. Albany to See Three Games. ALBANY. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Two football games will be played in Albany Thanksgiving day and will furnish the first "double header" in this sport here for many years. Al bany high school will play Grants Pass high school and Albany college ' will meet the Columbia Park team of Portland. Both games will be played on the athletic field at the new Linn county fair grounds. The high school contest will begin at 2 o'clock and will be followed by the game between the college and the Portland team. M'CREDIE DECLARES YEAR PROSPEROUS FOR ALL CLUBS Walt Asserts Meeting of Minors Was Most Harmonious He Ever At tended. Coast League Considered Close to Major Caliber. BT L. H GREGORY. w ALTER McCREDIE, manager of the Portland baseball club. Just back from the minor league convention at Kansas City, unburdened himself of a queer state ment yesterday. "Walt said it was the most harmonious baseball meeting he ever attended. Yet just a few minutes before be had been telling how both sides In the major league squabble, since settled by appointment of Judge Lan dis to supersede the present national commission, had addressed the minor leaguers and how rumors of war and fighting and such were all over the place. The two statements didn t ex actly seem to jibe. But Big Walt's next remark explained a lot. " , irt,le. m.t- 1 It was the most harmonious meet- . I eve? attended." he said, -because nobodv was 'in the red.' They had all made some money in the baseball sea son just ended and naturally they all felt good. It makes a difference in a man's disposition, all right, whether he is several thousand dollars in the hole or comfortably fixed. "There was all kinds of fight talk due to the major league row, but no one really wanted to fight. And the minors made it mighty plain that if there was a war they would keep out of it." Has it occurred to you that the Pa cific Coast league is getting closer and closer to major league caliber each season, and that it's a question only of a few years before it is a major circuit? This is a fact. Walt says In the east 11 aireaay na reputation everywhere of being by long odds the best minor league, I ranking far ahead of the Interna tional and American association class AA circuits, and that it is headed just as sure as shooting toward full rec ognition as a major. "Nothing on earth can prevent the coast league from blossoming into a major league in the next five or six years," declared the big fellow. "It's in the cards. If the idea seems far fetched, just sit down and analyze the situation. "Look at our towns. San Fran cisco is a major league city if ever there was one. It would be snapped up by the major circuits if it were in the east. Los Angeles is almost as good. And Seattle in the season Just ended gave its team better support than half the towns in the big leagues. Portland used to be one of the best baseball towns in . the country and Portland will come back with a win ning team. "True, we have long jumps. But we offset the Jumps by playing one week series in each town. In the ma jors they play only 3-game series and then jump to another city. Anotner big point in our favor that many persons don't realize is the climate out here. We can play through a 28-week season with very few post poned games, whereas in the east the majors really have only two and a half months f summer weather. "Early in the season and at its tag end they have all kinds of trouble getting off their games, and during part of the summer it's so confounded hot that people don't attend tha games. "It really is surprising how high the coast stands' as a baseball circuit in the east, and that includes the magnates and players of the majors, too. Every player who has been out here boosts the coast to the skies. And it is a well known fact that more high class recruits go up from the coast than from any other circuit. "We have one great advantage that few persons realize over the Inter national and American association circuits. Just suppose, for instance, that you were in Baltimore, or in Louisville, or in Newark, or in Toledo and figured on going to a ball game. You could go to the minor league game in that particular town, or hop a train or ferry and be in one of the major league cities in half an hour or two hours and see Babe Ruth, or Ty Cobb, or Sisler play, which would it be? It doesn't take a mathmetician to figure out where a lot of the Amer ican association and International league attendance goes. It goes to see Ruth and the big teams play, of course." Will Walt McCredie lead the Beavers again next season, or will he manage Seattle or some other club? Despite all the talk one way or another, it's pretty safe to say that he .doesn't really know himself. Walt has had a fine offer from Se attle, no doubt of that. And if he wanted to leave the coast league there are any number of towns that would snap him up. Managers with his record of winning pennants and his success in developing young play ers are rare birds. Nowhere is he r vi r See. That fiov f C?e - tmt I THAT'S fWY i ? THAT'S Jj Hee'That Gur) j oh m &ot! ) hs'S my j ( See iht CEMT15T MM? DO ' N 1 J Yoo .SEE Him . V wcii. l . ZZZZ. V vMHO DO VOVJ ft WHO J S 2Pc-S(- That J t it more highly regarded than in the major leagues. But here in his home town it's the old story of the prophet without honor in his own country. A few bad years have erased the memory of his many successes. He has lead the Portland team now for 17 years. Small wonder that in that time a good many persons have gained the idea that he has run his course. You may please all the people .for a year or two. if you're lucky, and some of the people for a good many years, but one of the things that simply isn't done is to please i.ll the people for 17 years. If the Portland baseball franchise is sold, which at this writing is not the most probable thing in the world masmucn as tne Duyers witn ine , , , , requisite quota of gold dust don't hang Walt will not be here. But if -the judge doesn't get a buyer it is-qui' 3 likely that Walt will be found at the old stand for another season at least. Walt is one of the most loyal fel lows in the world. His friends say that in all the 17 years the judge and Walt have been associated on the club as magnate and owner there never has been one. word of dispute between them. Walt feels deeply grateful to the ' judge for having taken him when he was a stripling of 23, put him in full charge of a ball club, told him he was manager and to go to it and run it along his own ideas and then backed him through thick and thin. It's not to be wondered at that Walt is reticent about his plans. But his friends say he would turn down any offer in the world, at any price. to stay by the judge if the judge does; not sell the club and wants him to stay. But whether he stays or goes, and whether the club Is sold or isn't sold, both the judge and Walt are going ahead trying to line up good players for next season. While he was in the east Walt got the promise of two players from Billy Grant of the Bos ton Nationals and of two more from Navin of Detroit. "But the trouble w'th these prom ises," added Walt, "is that the clubs can promise all they please and with the best intentions, and then may not be able to deliver. 1 never saw such a scarcity of really good young ballplayers as there is at present. "Why, the majors nave gone out and corralled every player'they ever heard of from the class B and C leagues. They have plenty of quan tity. Lord knows, but precious little quality. I never knew it so hard to get good ballplayers as it is today. "The fact is that the major leagues themselves can't even get good young players to replace the men who are slipping. Several clubs in the majors were in a bad way last season, and there doesn't seem to be much chance for them to rebuild next year, either. "This scarcity of good young play ers is one result of the war. The old crop has been used up and there Isn't the usual new crop to replace it. Some good players who joined the army or navy haven't been able to get back into their stride and make up that two years without practice. The result is that only the culls are left to pick from. And they hold these culls at an awful price. "I don't expect much improvement for another year or so, or until the kids who were 12 to 15 years old when the war broke out begin to come to the fore. The youngsters coming into the leagues today not only don't know baseball and can't play it, but. like all second-raters, they won't learn. You can't teach them anything. They resent sugges tions. There's precious little hope .for any of them." Looks as if the big Oregon Agricul tural college-University of Oregon game at Corvallis Saturday will have to be played on a wet field. That will slow up the speed of both teams, make forward passing a gamble. Increase the likelihood of fumbling and make almost anything possible. The Aggie field has been covered with sawdust, which will take up some of the sloppi ness. Coach Shy Huntington and Bill Hayward. Oregon athletic director, were at Corvallis yesterday looking over the field. They did a lot of head shaking as they strode over the reek ing sawdust. La j ton Beats Morin at .Billiards. CHICAGO. Nov. 17. John Layt n of Sedalla, Mo., continued tonight his steady playing in the preliminaries in the national three-cushion billiard championship, defeating Charles Morin of Chicago. SO to 23. in 45 innings. Joseph Capron of Chicago won his first game of the tournament, de feating Hugh Heal of Toledo, 50 to 49 Read The Oregonian classified ads. OH, E FAT WILLIE CORMICK Meehan .Unchanged Since Bout With Walker. FIGHT TO BE WEDNESDAY Roy Sutherland and George Eagels, Two Knockouts, Are to Tangle in (.Round Special. BY DICK SHARP. ' Willie Meehan Is the same old fat Willie, who battled Hugh Walker at the Milwaukie arena last season. He hasn't changed a bit and his waistline is still threatening to overrun his chin. Fortland boxing followers well remember the San Francisco fat boy's battle with Walker when Willie gave thern 60 laughs a minute and at the same time earned the best of the fight. Meehan wor-ked out with Harlan Bunker at 3 o'clock yesterday at the Oiympic gymnasium and delighted with his antics. The prince of clowns he may be, but Just the same Meehan manages to step in the squared circle and hold his own with the best in the game. His two decisions over Jack Dempsey are evidence of that fact. Hunker, who is a first rate heavy weight himself, gives Meehan a good workout. Harlan also hails from San Francisco. He stands 6 feet 4 inches in his gym shoes and scales around 190 pounds. Boy McCormick, who tangles with Meehan in the main event of next Wednesday night's card at the Mil waukie arena, is getting in trim for a busy fracas. The English champion, who is a champion, not by virtue of newspaper talk, but by work achieved in the ring, will be outweighed nearly 30 pounds and is stacking up against one of the toughest in the business. However, Boy is not concerned in the least over the coming melee and has the utmost confidence that he will be returned the winner. McCormick is working at 1 o'clock at the Olympic gym, sparring with Bert Taylor, Joe Anderson and Young Joe Miller. Since his arrival in Port land McCormick has received offers to box in Seattle, San Francisco. Oak land and Portland, but passed all the advances up to his manager, Billy Gibson, in New York. It is not likely that he will remain on the coast longer than for one more fight, as Gibson is anxious to have him make his New York debut on one of Tex Riekard's cards at Madison Square Garden. Flocks of heavyweights are bom barding Matchmaker Kendall for a bout with the winner. Lee Anderson, Tiny Herman, Ole Anderson. Joe Bonds, Frank Farmer, Harlan Bun ke"r, Terry Keller, Homer Smith and others have challenged by letter, tel egraph or in person. It is funny how many people like to take a lac ing. Many of the fans took a decided liking to the aggressive style of mill ing employed by Ray Rose, the Den ver bantam, in his match against Eddie Moore at the Milwaukie arena and are predicting that he will give Billy Mascott a tough argument on the coming bill when they meet in the eight-round semi-windup. Rose is certainly not listed among the soft ones at US pounds and Mas cott is getting in real condition for the match. The knockerouts will get together when Roy Sutherland and George Eagels meet in the six-round special event. Sutherland showed a lot of stuff against Al Nelson and Frankie Crites, while Eagels did well against Crites, Speck Woods and Muff Bronson. Mike De Pinto, the young Portland 120 pounder, down to box Young Joe Miller of Los Angeles in the other six-round bout, is out to make good. Mike sot off to a bad start here against Baby Blue, but later went to Tacoma, where he won seven fights out of ten and went to a draw in the other three.' Miller is a new comer and looks like a shifty performer. Joe Benjamin should be among those present in Portland any day now. Joe was to have left Milwaukee for here immediately after his bout with Ritchie Mitchell, but evidently went back to Chicago and will start from there fo Portland. Tommy Robson. Boston ; middle weight, and George Shade will meet in the main event of Friday night's MAN! j 5e He's I Hat s Bootlegger: - card in San Francisco. K. O. Kruvosky and Jim Barry meeting In the semi windup. The Portland boxing commission will stage two shows in December, the first on Thursday night, Decem ber 2. at the Heilig theater, and the other December 15 at the Heilig. Sam Langford, veteran negro heavyweight, will box in the main event and transportation was for warded him yesterday. His opponent will be selected from among Harlan Bunker, Young Hector, Tom Cowler and Tiny Herman. Fred Winsor is gathering another stable- together in San Francisco. To date he has Tommy Hayes, Frankie Rogers and Dick Griffin. Hayes and Rogers have both fought in Portland. Griffin is an eastern bantamweight of repute. The latest news also has It that. If Jimmy Dundee, the flashy Oakland featherweight, decides to make a trip east, Winsor will be his manager Dundee will do his own managing In Oakland, but says that Fred will be his pilot if he leaves his home city. RUNNERS TRAIN FOB RACE CKOSS-COCXTHY EVENT TAKES ATTEXTIOX OF COLLEGE. Team Not Picked, and 500 Keep Up Efforts to Win Place Among Contestants at Eugene. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 17. (Special.) Track Coach Ralph Coleman is busy putting the cross-country men through their paces in preparation for the an nual Oregon-0. A. C. cross-country run, which will be held Saturday be fore the football game. With 500 men from whom to select the team, it has been no easy matter for Coach Coleman to pick the five who will represent the Beavers. Ray Dodge of Hillsdale, Or., has made the best time on the 24 mile loop with a record of 10 minutes 60 seconds. Dodge will not be eligible for the Oregon race, however, as this is his first year in college Sewell O. New house of Newberg, Or., holds the sec ond best record in 11 minutes. The annual turkey race was held on the local campus last Saturday and was won by Jack A. Wittliff, repre senting the Kappa Sigma fraternity Sewell O. Newhouse of the Delta Kap pa placing second; Charles Wright of Portland, running for the Sigma Chi third; Alvin D. Hobart fourth and William W. Saunders of tha Wastina club placing fifth. Aggie Beaver Humbug, Say Corvallis Men. Alleged Stolen Colleare Emblem Is Declared to Be Falte. 0 REGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) "Who has the Aggie Leaver?" This question is causing little in terest on the local campus. From the University of Washington comes the announcement that it has been stolen from there and - that University of Oregon students are responsible for the theft. No exact description has been given of the animal, but from press dis patches it would appear that it is either a wooden or clay model. It was only a few years ago that the college adopted the beaver as the school emblem, and since that time there is no record of any such beaver on the local campus. Professor E. B. Beaty, who has been on the campus for 23 years, says he has never heard of any such emblem on the campus or being stolen by the University of Washington. W. A. Jen sen, private secretary to President Kerr, says that someone Is being "shown up," for he cannot remember seeing any beaver on the campus. Others advance the idea that sev eral years ago University of Wash ington students manufactured a beaver as part of their stunt between halves tt the Washington-O. A. C. football contest and that one of the houses kept it as a trophy, and as new students have arrived in Seattle they are suffering from a hallucina tion. Now that the fight is over between the University of Oregon and Wash ington, the students of O. A. C. feel that it is only justice to inform them that this is a fake emblem manufac tured by someone to turn a trick on one of the-institutions. Belgian Billiardist Arrives. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.

A heavy field and rain, which fell at intervals throughout the game. made the ball slippery and hard to handle, resulting in frequent fum bles. Forward passes were out of the question owing to the condition of the field, but both teams attempted several. Only a. few were completed for gains. Hill. came close to scoring twice, once in the third period and again in the last quarter. March Stops at Tea-Yard Line. In the third quarter the cadets took the ball on the kick-off and. with backs smashing the James John line for gains of five and six yards at a time, carried the pigskin to within ten yards of a touchdown. The players were too eager to shove the ball across and a five-yard penalty for being offside set Hill back. With four downs to gain 15 yards. Hill carried the ball to the five-yard line, but lost on downs. Heinle Bauer brought the James John team out of danger for the time Deing with a nice pupt. Another pen alty cost Hill 15 yards. Deadman Trick Works. After an exchange of punts Hill worked the deadman trick with Bobby Robinson carrying the ball to the five-yard line, where he was forced outside. He was called back, how ever, and Referee Francis placed a five-yard penalty on Hill for having more than seven men on the line, Before the third quarter ended Hill had the ball back on James John s 11 yard line. James John put up a stub born fight at the start of the last period but Hill gained ten yards, placing the ball on the one-yard line after four attempts. On the nexi attempt Hill lost a chance to score by fumbling the ball and James John punted to safety. 30-yard Place Kick Falls. When it became apparent that Hill J would not be able to dent the James John line for a ccore by line smashes, Captain Heyden attempted a place kick from the 30-yard line, but the James John forwards broke through and recovered the ball, after blocking the kick By some brilliant open play James John ran the ball into Hill territory. There it remained until the game ended. Hill proved to be stronger on the offense than James John, but when the Cadets had the double J backed up to its own goal line, James John would brace and held for Howns Yesterday's was the first scoreless game of. the season and also the firs contest to end In a tie.

The loss of Harold McKenna, full back; Stanley Somers, quarter, an "Christy" Christensen. all-around line man, will be largely offset by the return of Powell in the lineup.

BUCKINGHAM U HECHT MANUFACTURERS Sncv For Sale in Portland by C. H. BAKER YES ON COAST TEAMS CALIFORNIA AXD STANFORD CLASH SATURDAY. Gamo Will Decide Which Varsity Eleven Will Uphold Honor of West In Football Classic. Because it will decide which of the Pacific coast teams will play in the great east versus west football clas sic" at Pasadena on New Year's day, attention now is focused on the chances of the University of Cali fornia and Stanford university in their annual "big game," scheduled for next Saturday. While generally it is conceded that the University of Calfornia will be the winner by a comfortable margin, still the "dope" has been upset so often this season that interest is quite as high as, though no favorite had been picked. Tempieton s long kicks are expected to more than nullify what Californlans can gain with the ball from scrimmage, besides which, his well known ability as a drop kick er is a scoring possibility the Cali fornians frankly do not ignore. While compartive scores, as a rule, furnish very inaccurate figures on which to base any predictions as to the strength of the various teams, it nevertheless is a fact that last Sat urday's games in the Northwest have added another interesting angle in the estimation of those prone to fig ure out possibilities from all angles. Let us see what is presented. California had a hard time downing Oregon Agricultural college by the close score cf 17 to 7. It beat Wash ington State college by the big mar gin of 49 to 0 and yet the latter, with three of its best men out of the line up, turned around and defeated the Aggies by the impressive score of 8 to 0. This sort or thing is the despair of those who seek compara tive scores by which to work out their prognostications. Another instance. Stanford licked the University of Oregon by a score of 10 to 0, and defeated the University of Washington 3 to 0, yet the Oregon ians turn about and defeat Washing ton 17 to 0. Both of these instances are in di rect variance to everything that would be expected, and so the Stan ford cohorts take a lot of comfort out of the inexplicable results and are willing to place the destinies of their team in the lap of the football gods. While it has been figured that there are circumstances under which the California-Stanford contest can be de cided either by acl ose score or by a one-sided margin, California is ex pected to be on the winning side in either case, so that a Stanford victory Reliable R-B Cigars have constantly proved that reliability is a strong bid for popularity. More men are smok ing them each day because they are the same now as when their unique quality and workmanship first attracted national taste. Due to the square deal policy behind them you can still buy an R-B Londres with its imported Sumatra wrap per, full-flavored long-leaf filler for 8 cents and it's seasoned just right for good smoking.

It will be remembered that last year Stanford was not given an out side chance to win, yet all but suc ceeded in snatching victory. Had the game continued for a short time long er there are many who think Stan ford would have been returned the winner. Should California win on Saturday, and the University of Southern Cal ifornia defeat Oregon on Thanksgiv ing day, it will follow that the latter will contest the right of the northern Institution to represent the west in the East-West game. It is interest ing, however, to compare the scores of the two teams against the Uni versity of Nevada. California won by a score of 79 to 0, while the South ern Californlans were able only to run up half this total, namely 3S to 7. WILD DUCK DINNER AND BUSY SESSION IX PROSPECT. Several Speakers Will Be Heard and Questions Discussed at Oregon Building.
