ALL PACIFIC COAST ELEVEN
IN 1921 IS ARMY'S PLAN
Colonel W. H. Jordan la Aroused by Showing Made This Year by
Pacific Fleet Football Squad and Delivers Ultimatum.
BY Lb H. GREGORY.
THE navy isnt to be the whole
show" in service men's football
on this coast next season. Not If
the army can help it. And the army
expects to have quite a lot to say on
that little subject.
Came to Poitland yesterday from
Camp Lewis an old-time Multnomah
club athlete. Colonel W. H. Jordan,
better known to brother old-timers
around here as Billy Jordan, and de
Uvered both this ultimatum and an
nouncemenL It seems that the army
has officially taken very much to
heart the wide swath cut along the
coast this season by the Pacific flee
football eleven. So much has it taken
the fleet team's success to heart that
it is out to combat it with a team
selected along the same lines.
Consequently, announced Colonel
Jordan, next year's army football
team on this coast will be. not
merely a Camp. Lewis aggregation
but a team selected from the best
players in the entire 9th army corps
area. That comprises seven state:
Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho,
Montana, Utah and Nevada. Out of
the pickings in those seven states the
army expects to get together a team
that will give the Pacific fleet eleven
one all-fired mighty battle.
"Take it from us," remarked Colo
nel Jordan, "when this 9th corps area
football team of ours gets through
with the Pacific fleet team next fall.
there will be some sorrowful sailor
men in this part of the world."-
Colonel Jordan, who commands the
59th United States infantry at Camp
Lewis, will be head coach "of this 9th
corps team. He will be assisted by
Major Johnson, former Portland
Academy and Multnomah club player,
who was four straight years on the
West Point football team as quarter
and end, and by Captain Everett
May. the old Oregon Athletic college
star, who has just been commissioned
and assigned to Colonel Jordan's
regiment.
These coaches will have one ad
vantage over a college coach. Team
headquarters will be at Camp Lewis,
but they will draw for material on
every good football player in the
service in any of the seven states
comprising the 9th corps area. If
they hear of a likely looking end.
for instance, at the Presidio, Colonel
Jordan will crook his finger mean
ingly at headquarters in San Fran
cisco, where some obliging adjutant-
general will , promptly issue orders
ransferring said likely looking end to
Camp Lewis. And so on and so forth.
e il have a team, don't forget
that," said the enthusiastic colonel.
"We wi!2 schedule all the games we
can get with colleges and athletic
clubs, but what we all are praying
for 13 a good chance at that cocky
i-acuic iieet team, when we meet.
don't fail to be there. It will be some
battle."
Showing that the colonel is not
overlooking any bets, he already has
Degun assembling material for his
team next season. For instance, there
are Lieutenants Schrader and Hahn.
both mentioned by Walter Camp when
e compiled his all-Amerlcan teams in
1918, and Captains Huff and Murphy,
who are recently enough from foot
ball at "The Point" to be rarin' to go.
He has other good ones in mind. They
won t all be officers. Enlisted men
who have the goods will have every
it as good a chance to make that
team as the officers. The only re
quirement is that they have the
goods, which applies to the . offices,
It seemed like old times to Colonel
Jordan to be in Portland yesterday.
He played hair back on the Multno
mah club teams of 1896 and 1897, and
was one of the best backfield men
that ever won winged-M football togs.
He also was a track athlete, his spe
cialties being the 100 and 220 dashes.
This Ohio State-California game at
Pasadena New Tear's day is reach
ing the bear-story stage, which prob
ably indicates that both teams are in
great shape. California has been ped

ler, ends. Ohio State, not to be out
done, has sprung in return very read
able little yarns to the general ef
fect that if Williams, fullback, and
Myers, end, get into the game it will
be only because of their wonderful
pluck. What a frightful calamity ft
would be if the giften bear storyist
attached to each equad should sprain

Football goes out, basketball comes
in. Portland has plenty of intra-
district games among local teams, but
is almost as poorly off for inter
college contests as in football. How
ever, the University of Oregon quin
tet will make one visit here and Ore
gon Agricultural college will do the
same. Oregon appears first. Her
five is scheduled to play the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club team in
the club gymnasium the night of Jan
uary S, which is one week from Sat
urday. Oregon has quite a team, and It
should be one fast game. George
Bohler, a brother of Dr. J. Fred Boh
ler of Washington State, is basket
ball director at the varsity this sea
son, and is turning out a whale of a
team from all accounts. Bohler was
at Chicago a couple of years and has
had a lot of basketball experience.
Aside from basketball, which is his
sports specialty, he is ' gymnasium
director at the university.
Clean basketball is - Bohler s
motto, wherein he demonstrates that
he is a true brother of J. Fred Boh
ler, whose sportsmanship is known
far and wide in the Pacific coast con
ference. Bohler says a man can't
play basketball if he is committing
fouls all the time, and he won't have
anyone on his team who can't ac
commodate himself to the rules.
The Oregon team Is built around
a good nucleus of last year's men,
who include Eddie Durno, forward
and captain; Xish Chapman, the foot
ball player, guard: Francis Beller,
guard, and Mark Latham, forward.
Among the new men are Bill Rine-
hart, quarter on the football team;.
Funk Latham and Carl Knudson. Out
of that material Bohler should have
lightning fast outfit. How seri
ously the boys are taking their work
this season is shown by the fact that
they voluntarily sacrificed Dart of
their Christmas holidays by remain
ing at Eugene to practice.
Shy Huntington, football coach, is
turning to and helping Bohler by
coaching the freshmen basketball
players. Shy is better known, of
course, for his football prowess, but
he was quite a basketball player in
his time. He played three seasons on
the varsity five.
Jack Benefiel, assistant graduate
manager at Oregon, has been putting
in the vacation days hard at work in
Portland arranging for the Oregon
Princeton debate here New Year's
night. Not quite as inspiring work
as directing a football team, eh?
Well, at that. Jack says he expects
to pack 'em in at Lincoln High school
auditorium New Year's night. He
is trying to arrange for some movies
of the Yale-Princeton football game
to precede the main struggle. Inas
much as Princeton handed the grand
old raz to the boys from Yale this
season, the pictures may inspire
the Princeton brothers to do their
darnedest. Perhaps Jack hasn't
thought of that.

Former Whitman College Fullback
Succumbs to Tuberculosis
at Oregon City.
"I wonder if I'll get just one more
headline in The Oregonian, as I did
so often years ago," whispered Royal
F. Niles, known a few seasons ago
to a multitude of northwest football
followers as "Tubby" Niles, Whitman
college fullback, as he lay on his

might have.
"Tubby" Niles was one of the
gamest and greatest fullbacks that
ever played in the Pacific nortnwest.
Through four seasons, 1910, 111. 1912
and 1913. his name was often on the
sports pages for his wonderful play
ing. And each of those four seasons
he was elected on the All-Northwest
football team, one year as its captain.
That vear every writer in the north
west was unanimous in giving him
the honor.
He weighed in those days between
185 and 190 pounds. He followed Vin
cent Borleski as a super-star in Whit
man college football, but he would
have been a star on any football elev-
n in tho world. Flavine always on a
licht eleven against heavier oppon-
ents, his terrible line plunging never

of a temperature and the hospitals
were all' crowded, so he slept with
his comrades in the mud.' Tuberculo-

lect. When he was discharged in
Februarv. 1919. his voice had gone
so that he could speak only in a

until his death Sunday, at the age of
32 years.
Sport Pages Interest.
Since the death of his mother a
month agd, the end had come fast.
His brother Eugene 6aid yesterday
that his greatest comfort was The
Oregonian, especially the sports pages,
which' he read and re-read. For the
past month he had been unable to
read himself, so each morning his
brother, always turning first to the
sports news, read to him every story
in the paper.
It was Just a few days before his
death, when be realized that he was
sinking fast, that he expressed the
hope that his name might be in one
more headline of the paper that so I
often had chronicled his athletic feats
in years gone by.
The funeral will be held this after

State Delegates to Convene
in New York City. v
NATIONAL BODY WANTED
Placing Flstfc Game on Plane With
. Baseball and Kindred Sports
Is Contemplated.
NEW YORK, Dec 27. Formation
of a national body' to govern and
control professional boxing will be
undertaken here nest month. Dele
gates appointed by the governors of
18 states will convene at the head
quarters of the International Sport
ing club January 10. 11 and 12. Dur
ing, the three-day conference the
foundation for a national organiza
tion will be laid and rules for the
standardization of boxing throughout
the United States established.
The new association, which will
absorb the army, navy and civilian
board of boxing, control, of which it
is really a development, will be
formed by carefully selected and of
ficially appointed delegates from New
lork, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts, Maryland, New Jersey. Con
necticut, Colorado, Wisconsin, Mon
tana, Minnesota, ' Oregon, Wast Vir
ginia, Louisiana, Washington, Flor
ida. Tennessee and Oklahoma.
This group represents almost all
states where boxing is legalized or
permitted. Boxing is permitted in
several other states under what may
be termed local option, but those
wh'ch will be represented by offi
cially appointed delegates will be the
ones to take the initial steps In the
formation of the new national gov
erning body.
Delegates to Have Power.
The conference is the culmination
of more than six months of corre
spondence and personal conferences
between the officials of the Interna
tional Sporting club and governors of
the states which will delegate rep
resentatives to the meeting. Each
delegate will have the writen au
thority to represent his state in the
conference and to act for it The
delegates also will have the powe
to return to their respective states
after the conference with the idea
of having the necessary changes
made in the local executive rules so
that all will govern boxing under
the rules to be adopted by the new
organization. -
In discusssing the project with the
Associated Press, William A. Gavin
managing director of the Interna
tional Sporting club, stated today
that it was the intention of the dele
gates to standardize boxing rules for
each state; to adopt a joint agree
ment to bar any delinquent or of
fending boxer in all states, if sua
Dended by the national association
and to compel champions to defend
their titles at reasonable, fixed in
tervals or forfeit the title.
Huge Parses I'nder Fire.
Abolition of the huge purses which
have been recently offered for box
ing matches as discrediting boxing Is
also the intention of those interested.
and to work for reasonable admission
prices at all matches, as in the case
of baseball, football and other sports
of a national character, is the plan
It is further proposed to stop the
filming of boxing bouts as harmful
to the sport. The new organization
also will co-operate with the national
boxing bodies of other .nations with
the idea of having one international
code for the governing of boxing in
order to make the sport clean, whole
some, humane and to elevate It to
the plane enjoyed by otner sports ana
pastimes. '
A man of national reputation ana
an outstanding figure in sport prob
ably will be selected for president of
the body. Tex u rtourae, present
matchmaker for the International
Snorting club, would be secretary, it
Is expected that the formation of a
national governing Doay tor Doxing
win lift the soort to a nign ana per
manent plane and find favor with
the newly elected governors of such
states as do not now have a boxing
law or who are inclined to frown
upon the sport due to unsatisfactory
conditions wnicn surround iuo emi
at this time.

BERKELEY ELEVEN LAUDED
CXIVEnsiTY OF CAL. TEAM
DECLARED BEST IX WEST.
Blue and Gold Gridiron Jogger
oant Undefeated During Sen
son Just Closed.
BERKELET. CaL, Dee. :7. Unl-
veralty of California's 1520 football
team, which Is to play Ohio State at
Pasadena. Cal New Year's day. Is
considered as probably the best col
lege eleven ever developed in the
west.
During the season Just closed the
blue and gold gridiron juggernaut
not only was undefeated but ran up
a season total of 482 points to Its
opponents' 14 and won the l'aclfio
Coast conference title without appar
ently exerting Its full strength.
Elevens from many pHrts of the
west were defeated by California by
overwhelming scores. The University
of Nevada, considered a fighting
team, came to Berkeley and lost, 7
to 7. Next the University of Utah
was beaten, 3 to 0. Then Washing
ton State college, rating as the
strongest Pacific Northwest team,
came down, expecting to give Cali
fornia its first real test. The Cll
fornians stood the teet and won 49-0.
Later Washington Slate defeated the
University of Nebraska 21-20. Finally
California defeated Its old rival. Stan
ford university, 33-0. Stanford pre
viously had beaten the University of
Oregon, which last year at Pasadena,
lost to Harvard university by a small
margin.
Records of many sorts were broken
by the California team. The season
point total is the highest ever made
by any western college team and
comes close to the Suo-polnt mark
made by Michigan's eleven of 1202.
Another record smashed was In the
Stanford game when California won
by 33 points, the largest score by the
blue and gold against Stanford since
1899. California's score of 127 In the
St. Mary's college game was tha
largest ever made on California field.
All but one of California's games
have been played on the team's horns
field and In the one game away from
home, that played at Corvallls. Ore
gon, sgalnst the Oregon Agrlcultursl
college, the blue and gold team was
held to Its lowest score. 17 to 7. In
this game the Berkeley men for the
first time played on a slippery, muddy
field.
California has a brainy, well oiled
football machine, made up mostly of
physical giants. Both the linemen
and backfield men are fast. They have
played together all season and each
knows just what his mate la going to
