Past Seasons. ' NEW YORK, Nov. 29. The close of the eastern college football eeason finds the task of selecting a cham pionship eleven more complicated In an usual. In past years It has frequently been the case that one varsity team, with a remarkable record, stood out so prom inently that It was the choice for honors among a large majority of the gridiron experts. Such a situation does not exist this year. Six college or university elevens passed through the eeason without ' defeat, but in the case of five of these teams the record was marred by one or more tie games. Boston college Is the only one which has an abso . lutely clean elate to C te and that ' 'team still has one game to play, be- ( ing scheduled to meet Holy Cross next ' Saturday. Harvard, Princeton, Pittsburg. . Pennsylvania etate , and Stevens all -closed their schedule undefeated, but the tie contest between Princeton and Harvard left the question of suprem acy unsolved. Pennsylvania 6tate played tie gameB with Pittsburg and Lehigh; Pittsburg was tied by Syracuse and Penn state while Middlebury held Stevens to a ecoreless tie. A. second group but thinly separated from the first division, would natur ally include Dartmouth, Syracuse, Navy, Army, Brown, Holy Cross, Le liigh, Williams and Yale. ... An analysis of the records of the various college elevens of the east de velops some interesting1 and confusing data. The West Point cadet team, al though defeated by the Navy and .Notre Dame, managed to roll up an .aggregate score of 314 points, which so far as scoring is concerned, gives the Army first place in the section totals. AVllliams, with Benny Boyn ton the star individual scorer of the east, is next In line, with 312 points, although defeated in three out of eight games played. Penn etate and Cor nell are third and fourth, respectively, with 259 and 231. From cl defensive standpoint Bos ton college appears to hold the palm as the team which held its opponents to 16 points, of which Yale made 13 and Marietta three. Syracuse was next with a low opponent score of 27, while Harvard was a close third, with 28 points. Holy Cross was fourth with 30, but it still has the Boston college team to stand off. Eight games was the average on the east ern college schedule and the maxi mum ten. .

WASHINGTON FliATS HOST ' Football Rivals Are Shown All i Courtesies of Visitors. ' The University of Washington has -.' earned a reputation as a host to visiting football teams this season ,- that Is being talked of all over these JIM ROBERTSON ONE OF BEST HALFBACKS NOW IN FOOTBALL Great Dartmouth Player Lives Up to Reputation Which Heralded His Coming Before Game With Washington. BY L. H. GREGORY. I P EVER a football player of re nown lived up to advance notices of his prowess, this 195-pound "Jim" Robertson, captain and left halfback for Dartmouth, did that lit tle thing in the sensational Dartmouth-University of Washington game, won 28 to 7 by Dartmouth, at Seattle last Saturday. Nobody who saw that game will forget it soon, nor the playing of Robertson. He came to the coast press-agented as an ail-American halfback. He played Saturday like an all-world halfback. If Walter Camp doesn't pick him for the ail-American it will be because Walter was looking the other way when Robertson was play ing. No such exhibition of forward pass ing as that by Robertson has ever been seen on this coast. There was nothing haphazard about his tosses. He knew exactly where he was going to throw the ball, and a Dartmouth player always was right there to take it when he did throw. The spectacular feature of a game that was one exciting, stirring, thrill ing situation after another was his 40-yard heave from mid-field to the Washington ten - yard line, where Lynch .the Dartmouth right end, was waiting for it and trotted across the line with the ball. Lynch didn't have to circle around or reach for the balL It came right to him. Three of Robertson's forward passes resulted directly in touch downs and another figured in the ourth score. Still a fifth just before the end of the game, another long ne, was caught by a Dartmouth man across the Washington goal line. The nly thing that prevented its counting was that the player receiving it was more than ten yards behind the- goat line when he caught the ball. Conse quently it went as a touchback and Washington took the ball on her 20 yard line. Robertson 6hot long ones and he hot short ones. He sent swift, ehort passes and he tossed long, high ones but not too high. They all had so much speed to them that Washington managed to get under only one of hem for an intercepted pass in the whole game. And they were so dead ly accurate that only two were grounded for Incomplete passes out of 1 efforts. Robertson did everything to the pigskin but throw out-curves with it. But that wasn't the whole story f hts playing. In straight line buck ing from scrimmage Robertson gained 0b yards of Dartmouth s total of 232 yards from scrimmage. His favorite mash was a buck off tackle. He idn't go in head first like Hollis Huntington, but hit the line rather traight up, with knees high. But he it it so hard and' so fast that Wash ington found him a demon to tackle. n the first half Burke at right half gained more yardage in straight bucks than Robertson, but in the final half Robertson outshone every one else in the Dartmouth backfield so far there was no room for com parison. Besides all this he made all but wo of Dartmouth s eight punts and averaged 40 yards to the punt. And on defense he was a behemothian barrier to the Washington attack. If Robertson isn t all-American material then kddie Alahan was a flivver. Nor was this merely an exceptional performance on his part. The Dart mouth players said he played the same way in every game of the sea son in which he was in the lineup. A bad Charley horse kept him out of a couple of games. But he particularly shone in Dartmouth's crushing defeat of Pennsylvania, 43 to 7, the week be fore the team came west. Robertson, moreover, played Satur. day with the same Charley horse that had kept him out of a couple of games previously, in such condition that early in the struggle, before he got well warmed up, he could hardly hobble. He wore a big, bulging ban dage on his right leg above the knee. Toward the end of the last quarter he got a crack on this Charley horse and gave way to a substitute. But despite Robertson's remarkable playing, Dartmouth was not by any means a one-man team. it was wonderfully drilled, well-balanced, fierce-f lghting football eleven. It had weight well distributed and lots of speed. Easy to see after watching that game why it is ranked as one of the five best teams in the east this year. The wearers of the green used a peculiar shift play in attack. They lined up for scrimmage with only three players, the center and two guards, in the line of scrimmage. The two tackles and two ends were a. step behind, and the backfield men were also a step further back than their regular positions. Just before the ball was snapped, the tackles and ends took one quick step up into the line, making the required seven men in the line of scrimmage, and the backfield men did the same quick step into position. Linemen and backs avoided a penalty Intense rivalry between colleges many times overshadows the fact that an other varsity team is a visitor to the campus and as a result the social side of such visits is in many in stances not given the attention it should be. Take as an instance in point a. varsity team as far removed as Montana. It is the first time most of the members of the team have ever been outside the confines of their state. They are strangers in a strange town. They feel that strangeness when dumped down on the campus of another university not knowing any one. Washington has seen this side of the visiting teams' troubles and this season has gone out of its way to entertain visiting teams. They have a special organization known as the "Knights of the Hook." whose duties are to meet visiting teams, assure a hearty welcome, let the visitors feel they are at home and do everything possible to show those so Inclined any of the sights they want to see. The idea has worked wonderfully and is unquestinably the start of a new era of sociability among colleges of the west. BOWLING SCORES ARE LOW Contestants In Leading Positions Hold Undisputed Sway. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29. Comparatively low scores prevailed in the Middle West bowling tournament today, and the contestants who assumed the leading positions yesterday were un disputed. The best rolling in today's singles was by C. Francisco of Denver, who finished with 594. In the doubles H. Paul and G. Jacobsen of Des Moines led the list with 1092. Football Stars Turn Pro. Former football stars of eastern colleges are now turning their atten tion to professional football. Eddie Casey, former Harvard star, is the latest to go over to the ranks of the "play for money boys." He has for being in motion before the ball was snapped by coming to an in stant's pause with both feet and their hands on the ground. At that second th6 ball would be snapped and the play followed immediately. The pause was so slight that the line and back field had the impetus of their one step to swing more weight into the attack, yet it was a complete enough stop to comply with the rules. Coach Speais called it a "three-point start." Only once in the game did Referee Varnell have to caution any of the Dartmouth players against being in motion on this shift before tne Dan was snapped. Robertson was the of fender. He was taking a sort of hop-step and not stopping with his hands on the ground. He explained that this was due to the Charley horse which made it painful for mm to lean over and touch the ground. He took the warning without a murmur, however, and didn't offend again. Washington nlayed a remarkably good game against Dartmouth in the first half. The blue and gold de fense was so stubborn that Dart mouth could not gain yardage on straight football consistently, though at that a couple of marches down field that- began most promisingly were stopped by Dartmouth fumbles. Abel's blocking of Robertson's at tempted drop-kick from the Wash ington 45-yard line, his scoop of the ball and run of 65 yards for the first touchdown of the game was a beau tiful piece of work. It was lust one of the many spec tacular incidents that made this game so thrilling to watch. www Forward passing directly resulteC in three Dartmouth touchdowns and figured in a fourth, but Dartmouth excelled Washington in all depart ments, as the statistics of the game clearly show. At the gait the New Englanders were traveling in the sec ond half, they clearly would have won even if they hadn't rorwara passed. The score would not have been bo large, but they would nave won. Dartmouth's superiority on attack is shown by the fact that the Green team made 232 yards and 13 first downs from scrimmage, to only 69 yards and 3 first downs from scrim mage for Washington. Moreover the Dartmouth players were as skil ful in breaking up tne forward pass attack of their opponents as they were in completing passes of their own. Washington completed only one forward pass, while five- other at' tempts were intercepted by Dart mouth men. Only one of Dartmouth pass was intercepted by Washington. True enougn, wasningxon, witn tour previous defeats in a row out of five games played, was not a representa tive western eleven to play Dart mouth in an east vs. west struggle. But Washington was no set-up, at that. Playing as they did Saturday, the New Englanders would have given the University of California or any other eleven an awful battle to hold them, let alone defeat them. Other northwest colleges might profitably - take a leaf out of the Washington book in building football fields. This does not refer to the huge stadium itself with its concrete stands seating 26.000 persons, a won derful piece of engineering work and the more so that it all was completed in siz months from the time work began but to the T'eld itself. All hands, players, officials, specta tors, war correspondents, had the sur prise of their lives when they saw the new football field before the game Saturday. There had been a terrific gale and downpour in Seattle the day and night before. Even with all the precautions taken, it seemed impos sible that the field could be anything but miry, marshy, swampy. Quite to the contrary, it not only was firm, hard, fast, in ideal shape for just the kind of game that Dart mouth played, but there wasn't so much as a puddle of water on it. The drainage system under the field had taken care of every drop. In thip connection, it's interesting to note how a football field can be built mud-proof. The builder of the stadium and field was the Lewis Wiley Hydraulic organization, the head of which is William H. Lewis. I former Portlander, well known for the success of his organization in build- lng Westover terraces. The same methods used in the con struction of Westover terraces were employed by Mr. Lewis1 firm in build ing the stadium. The playing field itself has. a remarkable system of drainage. First, it was grid-iron with rows of 4-inch drain tile laid n trenches filed with gravel every 25 feet over the entire field. On top of that was laid 14 inches of coarse gravel, with a covering of shavings and sawdust, and on top of that was placed the surface coating of eight inches of sandy loam. This loam was raked, scraped and rolled constantly for two weeks. So well was the work done that it was in perfect condition for the game after the heaviest rainstorm of the year. N. Y. team. Others of note who are playing professional football are Lieutenant Oliphant, formerly of West Point, Purdy of Brown, Laird of Colgate. Anderson, also of Col gate, and a quarter of -ability; Shel don of Cornell and Miller of Pennsyl vania. POKTLAXD BEATS SEATTLE Local Volley Ball Team Back With Victory.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. Andy Toung" Chaney of Baltimore de feated Gene Delmont of Memphis in a iaiaa fi-round bout tonight, HERMAN NOT HELD BACK BY ONE LOSS Heavyweight Again Ready to Do Battle. BIG BOXERS ARE POPULAR Boxing on Theater Stage Seems to Have Different Effect Various Pugilists. on BY DICK SHARP. There is such a thing as biting off more than you can chew in boxing as well aa In other indoor and outdoor pastimes. When "Tiny" Herman, young As toria Mollath, agreed to battle Sam Langford several months ago the fans were of the unanimous opinion that Tiny was biting off more than he could do away with. True to the pessimists, Sam did trip the burly battler with a wicked sock in the tummy in the Beventh chapter. Now Herman is on deck to mix with Langford again. Playing with fire evidently does not worry Ore gon's heavyweight hope. For which he most certainly is awarded the set of square poker chips. The average fistic fan gets a great deal of pleasure out of watching a mammoth mauler get socked and knocked for a row of coal barges and even should Langford accord the same rough treatment to Herman as on the occasion of their first tangle, no one will be disappointed. On the other hand, if Herman sails in and licks the nightlights out of Langford, the said body of fans will be equally well satisfied. Perhaps more would be pleased if Herman did this little trick at the Heilig theater Thursday night. Boxing on a theater stage has va rious effects on boxers. Some are stagestruck, which could of course never occur in an armory or an arena. Others try to act, some mean and some nice. A few have a sudden de sire to play the part of Steve Brodie. Many realistic stage fights are put on which are not prearranged ana real gore instead of tomato sauce dec orates the atmosphere. Maybe some night when a bum fight is under way the boxing commission could turn the tide by rushing a stage director on the scene and drop a snowstorm set ting to make the boys fight to keep warm. Turning from the ridiculous to the sublime, Sam Langford put in another hard -day's work yesterday and will not be caught napping Thursday night, while Herman went through his paces in Tacoma. Of the other four fights on the menu all show a possibility of de veloping into positive battles. For he- hird and las time Al Grunan has been promised a match with Joe Gorman if he wallops Young Sam Langford in the eight-round semi windup. Every time Grunan. fights the word is passed that he will meet Joe Gorman if he wins. Grunan has been winning, but the Gorman match has not been forthcoming. The fans are weary of the delay. . Although they like to watch the Los Angeles boxer in action, they would much rather see him tangle with Gorman than against any other boxer that the matchmakers could select. It looks as though Willie St. Clair will be Puggy Morton's opponent in the six-round special event. Harold Jones took a run out on Morton and the change in the card was thus found necessary. Young Jack Demp sey, a .Tacoma middleweight, will meet Johnny Boscovich in a six-round clash, while Ted Hoke will wield the mitts against joe uunn oi Tacoma in the four-round eye opener. WWW Jack Davis and Bud Ridley will be the batteries of Thursday night's main event In Tacoma. Al Nelson, Boise lightweight, now living here, will box Macario Flores in the semi windup, while Young Joe Miller, who fought at the Milwaukie arena the other night, will box some Tacoma boy in one of the preliminaries. Joe Benjamin is visiting his folks at Stockton, Cal. ' He will return to Portland in time to get two week's training for his match against Harry Schuman at the Milwaukie arena. December 22. Ole Anderson, Tacoma heavyweight. who put Leo Cross away here recent ly, will meet Young Hector at Brem erton, Wash., December 8. Sammy Gordon, Portland bantam weight, is home again after a sojourn of several months in California climes. Sammy took part in over a dozen battles while in the scAith and won the majority of them. He fought the best boxers at his weight that the promoters could line up for him and has a match coming up against Bud Ridley in Seattle next . week Gordon has already fought Bud two or three times and ought to know his style. Steve Dalton, the rugged San Fran cisco welterweight, writes his man ager, Willie Bernstein, that he will leave for Portland within the next few days. Dalton is about the tough est man at his weight in the west and is eager to get a crack at Travie Da vis, the Seattle welterweight, who claims the Pacific coast title, without Steve's permission. A 10-round go between Joe Eagan, the Boston battler, and Tony Palmer may be one of the features of a com ing show under the auspices of the Portland boxing commission. VAUCHX DIVORCE DISMISSED Diamond Worh $10,000, Cause of Row, Returned to Wife. KENOSHA, Wis.. Nov. 29. Divorce proceedings brought against James P. (Hippo) Vaughn, baseball player, by his wife, Edna, were dismissed today by the circuit court of Kenosha. The $10,000 diamond which was said to have .started the matrimonial difficulties of the Vaughns and which has been in the care of the court was returned to Mrs. Vaughn. '"Hippo," who recently was stab-bed by his father-in-law, Harry De Bold, is still in the hospital. WASHIXGTOX HIGH IXVITED The Dalles Wants Game for Title With Portland Team. THE DALLES, Or., Nov. 29. (Spe cial.) A challenge to Washington high school of Portland to play a post-season football game with The Dalles high school team was issued today by Will E. Wiley, principal of the local school. The Dalles has de feated both Salem and McMinnville i which bad. previously, defeated other claimants in the Willamette vaiiey ana souinern uregon, ana nan eliminated Pendleton by default, thus leaving Washington and The Dalles the only logical contenders for state championship honors, according to Wiley. Pendleton originally scheduled a game with The Dalles for November 20, but called the game off on the grounds that it had a hard game on for Thanksgiving and did not want its men crippled before that game. REFEREE ADMITS MISTAKE Decision Which Gave Two Points Found to Be Wrong. SALEM, Or., Nov. 29. (Special.) William C.

Mathews, coach of the Will amette eleven, that he was wrong In his decision on a play which netted the Multnomah team two points. In his letter Mr. Schmidt, who re sides in Portland, complimented the Willamette boys on their fine exhi bition of sportsmanship. Basketball Team After Games.

Sunday's victory marked the fifth of the season for the Veterans, which gives them a clean slate. They battled to a 1-to-l tie game early in the season. The score of Sunday's game indi cates the closeness of the contest, which was a bitterly fought game from start to finish. The Guards, with part of their star players Injured or absent in the per sons of Fairhurst, Quimby, Eugene Webster, Windsor and Martin, fought their heavier opponents doggedly and held them to their lowest score of the eeason. The first half was mostly in favor I of the Vets, but a wonderful defense held them scoreless. I Crossing over the Guardsmen came away strongly and in the second half had a little advantage over the Cana dians. The Guard forwards, with the exception of Davis, were very weak and could not score. Moore, of the Guardsmen, a strong and clever wing er, was absolutely neglected, net re ceiving one" decent pass throughout the game. About the middle of the second half J. Forsythe scored a clean goal for the Vets. Murray, ex-Rosebud hockey player and cenvr of the Guards, played the famous Wilkinson of tlie Vets to a standstill.
