WASHINGTON, BEARS,
STANFORD MAY UNITE
; Association, if Formed, to Ee
Known as Big Three.
STEP PRACTICALLY SURE
Oregon's Kejection of Four-Game
. Schedule Means Action at
, Berkeley Is Sull and Void.
SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) The big three In coast grid
Iron competition is now practically
: certain to go through. Washington,
California and Stanford, regarded In
Seattle as the three big schools of
the west, will unite and form an
association patterned after the Har
ard-Yale-Princeton combination in
eastern football.
A telesrrom received here yester-
day by Professor Gayer of the Uni
versity of Washington from rroiessor
Dubach of Oregon Agricultural col
' lege, president of the Pacific coast
conference, announced that the Uni
; vereity of Oregon had refused to go
through with the four-game schedule
for next season. This means mat me
schedule outlined . at the Eerkeley
meeting recently is null and void as
far 'as Washington, California and
Stanford are concerned, and that the
trio will henceforth arrange their big
contests as they wish.
Old Conference Tela Co.
Oregon, Oregon Agricultural col
lege and Washington State will con
tinue to -be in the schedule of the big
three, but the old coast conference
tics will no longer hold. These smaller
schools may enter the Pacific north
west conference, but the '"big three'
union will be the paramount body off
the coast.
Professor Ayer announced for cer
tain that the Washington State col
leg tilt for next year is off, and
that an eastern eleven would be
brought out west to play Washington
In the new stadium in the big game
of the year. Thanksgiving day. With
the grid dates among the coast
mi hools of no value. The larger
elevens will now arrange contests be
tween themselves for 1921.
Local Fans Fleaaed.
th Tisnrn Is nleasinir to followers
of the university's success here, for
it means that local fans will nave m
opportunity to see the two southern
elevens in action here more often. It
means, too, that more eastern auu
middle western teams will in all
probability find places on the Wash
ington schedule.
Under the old conference rules no
one school could play ootn cainorni
and Stanford the same year, and with
the contests alternating between here
and the southern grid a year or mur.
has elapsed between appearance of
the Bears and Trojans nera.
Two Games Are Certain.
Thu canceling of the four-game
vhiiiii leaves the University of
Washington sure oB two football
games for next fall, one with Whit
man and the other with the Uni-
versitr of Montana, Both contests
are scheduled for the stadiium.
Washington's complete grid sched
' ule will not be known until replies
to telegrams for football games that
Manager Meisnest sent out are re
ceived. It is a known fact that the
local institution is after a game with
Stanford and California andi some
atern or middle western eleven
with a bisr reputation. The rest of
the games will probably be played
with Washington State, Oregon and
nrpvn Agricultural college.
"Washington's game with Wash
ington State is not off by any means,
aJi Manaerer Meisnest this afternoon
In, direct contradiction of Professor
Aver's statement. "J? red isomer, am
letic director at Washington State,
was here Saturday and while we are
not certain that the gam will be
played, yet we have reasonable
irrounds to believe that It will take
place."
Game Wanted Koch Year.
Whether California or Stanford
will come north next year is a ques
tion which is expected to be settled
very shortly by local officials. Both
of the southern elevens have played
here. On the face of it. it appears
ht Stanford is the team to be seen
hr next vear. in view of the fact
that California would not have one
of its big games at home it it maae
the northern) trip. The Golden Bears
are scheduled to journey to Palo Alto
to meet the -Cardinals.
"Oregon's refusal to accept the
four-game schedule as passed by the
msfirnira shows that the confer
ence cannot make grid schedules and
nave the colleges play them, saia Mr.
Meisnest in referring te Oregon's
action. "The same thing happened
last year when they passed! the 60-50
split of gate receipts andl which was
turned down.
The formation of the big three will
be inside of the conference. It sim
ply means that Washington will have
a game every year with California
and Stanford instead! of every other
year. As far as I know the" con
ference still has the upper hand in
determining matters of eligibility and
the like. By no means is the bod
a thing of the past. Instead, it is
stronger today than it has been at
any time in the past."

Two Trips to Northwest in One
Season Held Impossible.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 10 (Spe
cial.) The University of California
is "marking time1' Just. -now. await
ing further advices from Professor
Dubach of Oregon Agricultural col
lege, president of the Pacific Coast
conference, on the status of the con
ference football schedule for next
year. This action came following a
report today that Oregon had refused
to accent the four-game schedule and
that it would be necessary for each
of the conference teams to arrange
Its own games.
R. W. Cortelyou, assistant graduate
manager at California, who is act
ing in the absence of Manager Lute
Nichols In the south, declares that
University of California will do
whatever the other conference teams
decide.
"If they wish to continue the
'schedule as it stands, eliminating, of
course. Oregon," he said, "we will ac
cept that plan. If on the other hand,
they wish to have us arrange our
own schedules and do away with the
. Conference, we will acquiesce."
Cortelyou explains that when the
conference meeting was held at Berk
eley the representatives of Oregon
were far from satisfied with the ar
rangements, declaring they were get
ting the worst of all the schedules.
He also says that Stanford and Cal
ifornia did everything in the way of
conceding points to satisfy Oregon,
and it was thought when tha vote
favored a four-game schedule, that
Oregon would accept.
It was on thd return home that
BT L. E GREGORY,
UR effervescent young left
handed friend, John Walter
Mails, leads the American league
pitchers both in low percentage of
earned runs off his del'very and In
percentage of games won, as shown
by the American league pitching
records, just out. John Walter, in
his brief late-season stay at Cleve
land, took part in nine games and
gets credit for seven wins and. no
losses, which is 1000 per cent. . He
was yanked twice and got Into the
game as relief twirler once. The
games in which be was taken, from
the box eventually were won by
Cleveland.
In percentage of earned runs off
his delivery, on which the American
league bases its official pitching
records, John Walter is way below
every other pitcher on the list. That
is to say, he leads 'em alL Only 1.85
earned runs were averaged off him
to the game. The next low man is
Bob Shawkey of the New York Yanks,
whose earned-run percentage is 2.46.
Pretty fair for this young coast
league product, eh? although aside
from his stellar showing in the
world's series. Whether It will "go
to his head remains to be seen. Those
left-handers are so doggone tempera
mental.
Incidentally, when Malls returned
to the coast after the world's series
he said Trls Speaker had asked him
not to pitch any games in the winter
season on the coast and that he was
going to obey Instructions by hek!
His good intentions lasted, and quick,
He had hardly got to San Francisco
before he organized a team to play
xy codd s All-stars, and straightway
got into a hot argument as to whether
Ty could get a hit off him or not.
John Walters averred that, great as
Ty was as a hitter, he, John Walter
Mails, Jt,sq., was just as great as a
pitcher and that he would show ud Ty
at bat. He did, at that. Every time
(Jcdd came up against him, Mails
would pitch his head off. . We can
imagine the pleasant little remarks
Tris Speaker will make when he
hears about that.
But though Mails heads the Amer
ican league pitching averages on the
basis of his seven straight victories
and no defeats, the real leading
pitcher is Bob Shawkey of the Yanks,
who pitched in 38 games, or 267 in
nings. He gave only 73 runs for an
average of 2.46 to each nine-inning
game. "
Right after him comes Stan Cove
leskie, the 'big spit-bailer who with
his red flannel shirt sleeves gradu
ated to Cleveland from Portland.
Covey appeared In 41 battles, worked
315 innings and allowed S7 runs, or
2.48 per nine innings. Some pitching.
Jim Bagby, the Cleveland brain
worker, finished fifth. He pitched in
48 games, 340Linnings; more than any
other pitcher in the league. The I in a pinch."
earned-run average off him was 2.89
per nine innings. Bagby is one of
these fellows who use their heads
far more than their arms. He pitches
almost entirely to the weakness of
the batter.
Directly after Bagby In the aver
ages comes Carl Mays, the New York
underhand flinger, also a Portland
graduate. Mays also was an iron
man. He worked in 45 games, 312
innings, and gave 3.12 earned runs
per game.
Walter McCredle says that though
Tex Westerzil has been traded by
the Judge to settle for a ballblayer
or so, the deal has a string to it.
Said string is that the ballplayers
received in trade must be satislac
tory to Portland. "And I don't figure
a trade s a trade until it s com
Dieted." added the Beaver skipper.
"Since. Tex wants to. play somewhere
else next season, all well and good,
but we must have some ballplayers
for him who will bolster up the new
team we are building."
The Pacific Coast conference foot
ball schedule mess has given the uni
versity of Washington a. chance to
talk up her dream of a "Big Three"
on the coast comprising Washington
University of California and Stan
ford. - Washington has long been res
tive under the restraints Imposed by
the coast conference and prior to its
formation, by the northwest confer
ence. Geographically, she belongs in
the same conference with Oregon,
Washington State and Oregon Agri
cultural college, and always will be
long with them.
Ty Cobb declares that though Har
ry Hooper of the Boston Americans
is. one of "the best outfielders in the
game, and a heavy hitter, his batting
average is good in spite of a very
awkward style. "Hooper is a splen
did fielder with a wonderful arm,'
said Cobb the other day, "but how
he hits always has been a mystery to
me. He has the most awkward style
at the bat of any good hitter I ever
saw. But no matter how awkward
he is at the plate, he can hit, and that
is themain thing. The first time I
ever saw him come to the plate I had
to laugh, but when. he started to
hit the ball safely, I quit laughing."
Comes another testimonial to the
qualities of Cactus Cravath. who was
let out as manager of the Phila
delphia Nationals to take the reins
at Salk Lake next season. Says De
Witt LeBourveau, who as one of the
leading hitters of the Phillies last
year played under Cravath:
'Gavvy will make the Salt Lake
team or any other club in this league
go big and he certainly knows the
game and can play it. In a city like
Salt Lake he will be a wonderful
hitter. . rf-avath's legs are not what
hey used to be and he has slowed

HYP0CRACY IS CHARGED

Impossible for Stanford or California

Five Clubs Declared Banded To
gether in Ties Other Than Those
of True Sportsmanship.
NEW YORK, Dec. ,20. Failure OI
the American league to elect New
York,' Boston and Chicago representa
tives to Its board of directors at the
annual meeting last Friday "Indicated
clearly" that President Johnson and
the clubs which supported him in the
league war "are, dissenters from the
new -Landis regime In baseball,
Colonel Huston, part owner of the
Yankees, said tonight.
"During the last year Johnson had
fought the appointment of Judge
Landis as chairman of the national
commission," Colonel Huston said,
"and successfully resisted the Judge's
advent until compelled to consent at
the recent Chicago meeting. His
show of acquiescence is the veriest
hypocrisy. He had to surrender -at
the recent Chicago meeting because
his willful deserted him in the tear
that the proposed 12-club league
would injure their property Invest
ments." -
Charging that the recent move Is
aimed "to disgust and discourage
Landis at the start," Colonel Huston
expressed the opinion "that Judge
Landis quickly . will find means to
curb Johnson and his puppets."
'Johnson and his five clubs, he
added, "are banded together by ties
other than true sportsmanship. The
strength of this unholy alliance has
made Johnson exceedingly arrogant
and has been the cause of all the
recent trouble in the American league
and in baseball, and until it is broken
there can be no peace. The elimina
tion of Johnson would automatically
restore tranquility."
GOLF ACTION . FORESEEN

all of whom shall be qualified as pro
vided In Article V."
There is no club In the country but
believes that the government of the
game should be centralized and none
of them cares a whoop, where the
headquarters are located so long as
the entire country is given, a voice
and representation accorded com
mensurate with the numbers and lm
portance of any particular district.
Any resentment that may exist Is
directed toward any attempt on the
part' of a certain locality to dictate
terms. Those interested in the affairs
of the amateur athletic union need not
be reminded what happened to that
body-at Its last annual meeting held
in New Orleans. There was a revolt.
and the result of the elections) showed
that the old despotism which had its
seat In New York probably has been
broken up lor all Itme.
Undoubtedly the powers that be In
the golf game have not been blfnd to
what occurred to the amateur athletic
union, and it is not likely that we
shall see any open revolt as time has
been taken by the forelock, so to
speak, and any such action largely
forestalled by the notice of the pro
posed amendments to the constitution.
Revolt, at times, has a beneficial
effect and has a tendency to work out
reforms for the good of a game. But
in the long run good horse sense and
an appreciation of the demands on
each side work out for the greater
benefits to be derived. While some
are predicting troublous times at the
coming meeting, it does not seem
likely that anything very startling is
likely to emerge from it for the rea
son that a fairly good understanding
exists as to the sectional interests
involved.

The annual meeting of the United

productive of a lot of interesting news
for golfers. Aside from the annual
election of officers, a number of
amendments to the constitution of the

With the remarkable growth or the
game it has become evident that those
in control have been able to see the
handwriting on the wall as evidenced
bv the proposed change in Article V
of the constitution entitled "executive
committee." Here is a significant
change designed to cover the wider
scope gained through growth of the
game.
"Section 1. Election. There shall be
an executive committee consisting of
the five officers of the association
and eight (formerly four) others.
They shall by membership therein
represent thirteen (formerly . nine)
different active clubs of the associa
tion." Here also is a sentence proposed to
be inserted in Article X, of the Con

nominated as officers or for the exec
utive committee shall be selected
from the boards of directors or trus

The saying that you can't win all
the time was forcibly Impressed on
members of the Canadian Veterans
soccer team' Sunday when they went
down to a 4 to 3 defeat at the hands
of the Peninsula eleven. It marked
the first occasion this season on which
the Vets have been on the short end
of a score in the Portland Soccer
league. The game was fast a.nd well
played throughout with the largest
crowd that has attended a game tni
season on hand for the contest. Th
around was soft because of rece
rains, but the poor condition of the
field failed to slow up the two aggre
gations to any noticeable extent, as
the duality of football dished up
the banner crowd, was easily the best
displayed in a game this year.
Peninsula Starts Stroag.
In the beetnnintr Peninsula did mo;
of the oressincr. the combination of
their forwards beinft much bett
than that of the Vets. After f if tee
minutes play, Vasser scored a nice
goal for Peninsula and very shortly
thereafter, Riley added to their score.
After this reverse the Vets put more
heart into, their play and Swan scored
with a shot that struck the inside of
the post. Following this the Vets
were awarded a penalty kick on ac
count of one of the Peninsula players
handling the ball Inside the penalty
area, from which Wilkinson scored.
The second half was a ding-dong
affair, the Peninsula boys having
shade on the Vets thanks to particu
larly good work on the part of the!
forwards and halfs. Tom Gray scored
the sroal that for the time being put
Peninsula in the lead. Their lead wa
short lived as Wilkinson very soo
after tied the score, with a lovel
shot. From then on till the end of th
game Peninsula had. if anything, most
of the play and Gibbs finally scored
the goal that proved to be the winnln
goal of the game. For Peninsula,
Riley. Gibbs and Koiralski were th
best of a really good forward line,
Brothers being the best of their halfs
while both. their backs were very
steady indeed.
Wilkinson Is Star.
Wilkinson, Darling and James For
sythe were the best of the forwards,
Wilkinson putting up a great exhibl
tion at center forward. Jeffrey at left
hack was outstanding and played
splendid game. One or two of tho
Vets were disappointing, not putting
up their usual game. The game as
whole was particularly clean an

The Guards having won the first setto
they were hopeful of repeating th
performance, but since the first en
counter the ship yarders have en
gaged considerable new talent and
were too much for the Portland boys.
The KtandifAr men Dlaved a fast
clean and scientific game with much
better combination than the. Guards
The result was a victory for them
5 to 1.
The Guards started vigorously and
played hard throughout, but were
early discouraged by adverse de
cisions. Play in the first half was
fast with the Standifer having a little
the better of the game. The Guard
forwards were unable to make, head
wav.
After the Interval the GTiards did
most of the pressing, but the breaks
wrA all acainst them and Standifer
scored 2 more before the Guards made
their only tally which came from
beautifully placed corner kick by
Rankin, Windsor scoring. Before the
end Standifer scored another also
from a corner kick. The Guard lineup
was: Patrick, goal; Bill Langton and
J. Webster, backs; Davis, Eugene
Webster, Windsor half backs; Fair-
hurst, Rankin, Harry Langton, Bragg
and Moore, forwards.
