FAST CONTEST EXPECTED PLAYERS OF RIVAL QUINTETS WHO WILL CLASH TONIGHT ON MULTNOMAH CLUB FLOOR. Defeat or University Team Makes O. A. C. Squad Work Ilard to Oct in Shape. Multnomah Amateur Athletic club's basketball team will be short two of lt r. nlavers tonlsht. In Its .second game of the season against the Oregon Agricultural college quintet. Whether the loss will weaken the Winged M combination remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, the absence of two players from the lineup will not leave the clubmen with any great amount of reserve strength in the way of sub stitutes Bob Morton, forward, and Ray Toomey, manager and guard, are the two players who will be absent from the lineup. Captain Morton Is out of the clty on a business trip, and will not be ' back in time to help his teammates in their struggle with the Oregon Aggies, white Manager Toomey Is on the hospital list with an injured back. Fowler to flay Again. Morton's place at forward will be filled by Ned Fowler, formerly a Uni versity of Oregon star, who showed up in great shape in the second half of the University of Oregon-Multnomah game last Saturday night. Clay ton Sharpe. who played with the Winged M tossers two years ago. will start at guard in place of Toomey. Sharpe turned out with the Multno mah club house league hoopers at the tart of the season, and Is reported to be going better than ever. Gus Clerlln will start as Fowler's running mate at forward, with his brother, X. Clcrin at center. Clar ence Twining will start with Sharpe at guard. Manager Toomey believes he has a find In De Prato. ex-Uni versity of Michigan star, who Is now- turning out for the club. He is prac ticing regularly with the clubmen. And is in tip-top shape. De Prato will in all probability have an oppor tunity to make hiJ first st-rt in local hoop circles against the college quin tet tonight. . Hood, former Stanford center, is also on the club's reserve list. Fast Game Kxperted. From all appearances the game to night should be much better than the one last Saturday between Multnomah and Oregon, which was in itself a fast affair. The clubmen have had a chance to perfect their team work, while the Oregon Aggies have also been training hard for the Winged M team. . The Beaver squad Is composed for the most part of veteran players of last year's team. Captain Ernie Ar thur and Kichard Stinson will be started at forward. Both are letter I men of last year, and Stinson will be remembered by local fans for his work with the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club here several seasons ago Dick Rutherford, coach.

Saunders played on the freshman five last year. McCart. a guard on last sea son's team, is also after the center position. Twelve Agclea routing. Harold McKenna, Keene. Tuffy Ross. Carr, Beck and lionney are among the new material that is show ing up well this season.

Approval of the major portion, of the proposed 'game code, formulated by the fish and game commission, as well as approval of the proposed bill . rj--n B ...... fc" tot lit LUIUIUIWIUUI ! and form i n S- S Ktr.ar-,1n ir-im. fnm- mission, has been given by the game committee of the house. The bill provides for a commission of f:ve men, to be appointed by the governor irrespective of political af filiations. Terms of office are pro vided running from one year to five years, and power of removal for the gcod of the service is placed In the hands of the governor. Additional power is given to the proposed commission, which will per mit p to open any closed season, or close any open season, when it is deemed that such action will serve better to protect the game and migra tory fish. The commission also would have power to restrict bag limits on certain streams and bodies of water. Open Seasons Are Revised. Under the new game code, which has been returned to the fish and game commission for minor revision, and will go into committee again before presentation to the legislature, the open season for bear in Oregon will extend from September 1 to March 1 of the following year. In game district No. 1, which In cludes all territory west of the Cas cade range, the open season for deer v.-ill be from August 15 to October 15. The present open season extends from September 1 to October 31 and some sportsmen ara known to oppose the proposed change and may oppose this section of the new code. The opposition which Is said to have developed against the earlier opening of the deer season is said to be based upon the theory that earlier opening would result in the slaughter of does and fawns, feund along streams in tile lower regions. The game committee of the house, how ever, has given tentative approval to the change, and it Is probable that it wir. be given to the house by the committee with the changed season for deer. Blrda and Fish Affected. Change has been made in the open season on migratory birds, to con form with the federal statutes. The proposed season under the new code In game district No. 1 would be from October 1 to January la and in dis trict No. 2 from September 16 to December 31. The limit on trout, as provided In the new code, reduces the number from 50 or 35 pounds to 30 f:sh or 20 pounds. The open season for trout extends from April 15 to November 30. Among the minor changes desired by the committee is the section re fer ring to dogs running at large, and running deer. The commission has revised this section, placing the re sponsibility for the dog running at large upon the owner of the dog. The section formulated by the com mission referring to this subject was adopted by the legislature in 1914, but was repealed in 1916. with the exception that the provision applied in Coos and Curry county. It is now proposed that the same restrictions imposed upon these counties be ex tended to the state at large. Licenses May Be Doubled. Doubling the price of licenses Is provided in the new code, an action which may result in some opposition. BY L. H. GREGORY. OOK for some thrilling basket ball in that game tonight be- ?een the Multnomah club and Oregon Agricultural college quintets on the Multnomah floor. Last Satur day's defeat of Oregon by the club, 21 to 19, will react on the Aggies like a jab from a steel goad. And it cer tainly will not have a deadening ef fect on the club players, who would just as soon add another collegiate scalp to their collection and even up things a bit from the football season. Athletic competition is so keen be tween Oregon and the Aggies that the Aggie players to a man would sacrifice their favorite eye-tooth to hang one on the club since it has beaten Oregon. ,So look for a spectacular, dashing battle. The Multnomah club has a team composed largely of veterans who have to be good and warmed up to play their best, but who figure to out-fox their younger opponents. The old heads on the wlnged-M five, like Clayton Sharp and Clarence Twining, are thinking every moment. Ray Toomey is another like them, but Ray has a sore back and will not play tonight. Coach Bohler at Oregon pulled a queer alibi to account for the defeat of his charges by the club last Sat urday. He said the tobacco smoke in the gym slowed up their play. That's is a new one, and new alibis are so scarce that Bohler ought to copyright this one. It's funny, though, that the smoke didn't alow up Mult nomah. However, that alibi won't hold good for the Aggies tonight, if they need one, for following the Oregon coach's complaint a battery of electric fans has been set up to blow out the smoke. But perhaps the Aggies will not need any alibi. For the first time in history the West Point football team next fall will leave Its home grounds on the Hudson for a game bes'des the an nual clash with the navy in New York City. The war department has given official sanction for the army team to play Yale, In the Y'ale bowl at New Haven. For many years the army players were not permitted to leave west Point, even to play the navy, but consent for them to play that game in New York City now has been followed by permission tor the .New Haven date. Yale has torn Us schedule policy all to pieces for next season. It has dropped the strong Boston college off its books completely after two de feats. Most of its games are booked with New England elevens, but not with especially strong ones, and North Carolina is the only southern team to be taken on in an early-season game. The season will open earlier than usual, Yale playing Bates four days before the college fall term starts. Of nine games scheduled, all but that with Harvard will be played in the Y'ale bowl. Here is the schedule: September 24, Bates; October 1, Ver mont: October 8, North Carolina: October 15, Williams; October 22, army; October 29. Brovn; November 5. Maryland; November 12. Princeton; November 19, Harvard, at Cambridge. at Pasadena five years ago. but the sloppy field that day prevented him from doing his best work. Since the war Pollard has been playing half for Akron and has. if anything, improved over the form of his college days. Against Jim Thorpe's great Canton eleven, which had not been defeated in three years. Pollard ran wild and aided greatly in admin istering two defeats to It. The Akron team on which Pollard plays and a professional eleven headed by Tuffy Conn are now in training for a game at Pasadena January 15. Feichtinger says that Jim Thorpe is all bunged up from his years of football playing, so much so that though he still is the great card at games he can play only about 10 minutes at top speed. Thorpe is re puted to have plunged 'to the extent of $30,000 and lost it in bets on his own team, which suffered two de feats last season, its first in three years.

Xew Exercises Planned. Barker week will be observed throughout the coming week in the physical department of the Portland Y. M. C. A. according to T. H. Gaw ley, physical director. Breathing, striking and other exercises will be prescribed. The methods of getting beneficial results from systematic ex ercise were outlined by Dr. Charles Edwin Barker of Grand Rapids-Mich., who spoke before the Portland Rotary club Wednesday. nd, chairman of the game commis sion. Thus far,- however, little oppo sition has been expressed and the rr.embers of the committee appear to be unanimous for the increased fees. The proposed license fees will be J3 for a hunter and S3 for an angler, or ?5 for a combination license. The code provides for elimination of the 5 per cent deduction from license fees now reverting to county clerks collecting such license fees. Members of the commission and the committee feel that inasmuch as counties get one-half of all fines collected for violations of the game code, the small "cut" received by the county clerks should be eliminated. Speaking again of Andy Feichtinger. former Multnomah club end, whose reminiscences of his experiences in professional football last season gave some of the boys a thrill the other day, he declares that Fritz Pollard, the former Brown star, is about the best halfback among the profes sionals. Pollard is a colored man. He played' on the Brown team de feated by Washington State, 14 to 0, San Francisco has definitely acquired Maurice Rath from Cincin nati to play second base, the confu sion resulting from his sale to the Seals through Seattle having been cleared. The way of the deal, accord ing to San Francisco sport writers, was this: Cincinnati turned Rath over to Seattle in part payment for Sammy Bohne. As Seattle had just purchased Tex Westerzll from Port land, and Bill Kenworthy figured on playing second himself, there was no place for Rath. He was then offered to San Francisco for a player to be selected in seven days or for cash. Seattle wanted Joe Connolly, out fielder, but at the last minute Ken worthy said he would accept cash and the deal was closed on that basis. So the Seals bought Rath from Seattle, not from Cincinnati, which was the reason of the denial by Garry Herrman of the Reds that any deal has been made with San Francisco. It's hard to figure how Rath got out of the majors, as he is a smart player and led the National league second basemen in fielding last season. Walt McCredie is credited about the Coast league circuit with having made a mighty good deal for himself when he traded Paddy Slglin to Salt Lake for Marty Krug, even up. Here, for example, is the comment of Abe Kemp in the San Francisco Bulletin: "Walter McCredie made an advan tageous deal when he traded Paddy Slglin to Salt Lake for Marty Krug. Siglin is a good ball player, but he is not in Krug's class. The latter played swell ball all season for the Bees, hitting well. Krug is a smart ball player, and there are many who insist that he is the brains of the team. Kru was not satisfied with his beith, which is the reason he was disposed of. Marty felt slighted when the management of the Salt Lake club was awarded to Ernie Johnson last spring, and the sub sequent appointment of Cravath did not overly please him. "What is Salt Lake's loss, however, will be Portland's gain. Siglin can play better ball than he showed last year, but he does not rank with Krug as a second baseman in any depart ment of the game." KANSAS LAD IS GAME Scrap Against Veteran Heavy weight Declared to Be the Bert Yet Shown Portland Fans. New Jersey hunters are now reveling in their favorite winter pastime, fox hunting. ine season started on January 1 and hundreds of permits were issued to enthu siasts. As the sport calls for the use of dogs and guns in the woods outside the regular gunning season, it is under much more strict super vision than ordinary hunting. In addition to the regular hunter's license a special permit is required While the amount to the Individual clerk is small, the aggregate amount would be sufficient during a year's time to build one fish hatchery. Iliavers Will Be Protected. Pro;ection now afforded to beavers throughout the state will remain if the new code is adopted. Some effort has been made to pro vide for an open season for beaver, but such a plan is frowned upon by members of the commission, who con tend that the beaver would be en tirely exterminated if the protec tion of these animals was removed. BASEBALL TO BE PROTECTED Legislature Will Be Asked for Law to Prevent "Throwing" Games. Legislation making it unlawful for a ballplayer to "throw" a game will be introduced in the Oregon legisla ture by Dr. E. C. McFarland, repre sentative from Multnomah county. Representative McFarland has not yet drafted his proposed bill and may send for a copy covering the same subject which was introduced to the California legislature last week. Dr. McFarland takes the position that such legislation is the only means available to protect baseball and prevent the sport from taking the same decline as affected horse racing some years ago. He argues that boxing has been protected through establishment of commis sions and that unless some 6teps are taken to protect baseball from crooks and gamblers, public confidence in the sport soon will be destroyed. He expects to confer with Judge McCredie, owner of the Portland Bea vers, who recently framed a bill along this line. Warrenton Defeats Fort Stevens. FORT STEVENS, Or., Jan. 14. (Special.)

Bob Devere, husky Kansas City heavyweight, lumbered along in great style against Sam Langford in their scheduled ten-round bout in the main event at the armory last night until he reached the seventh canto. In this round the Boston tar baby evi dently decided to bring things to a close and after about a minute and 40 seconds he put Devere down for the count of nine and had him helpless on the ropes when Eddie McGoorty throw in the sponge. As far as it went, Devere put up a better scrap from the spectators' viewpoint against Langford than any mar. that has faced the veteran negro here. Devere really tried to win. sending in all he had. He got an even break in at least four of the seven rounds. Devere wasn't afraid of standing up and battling Sam and on more than one occasion started a short-lived, .slugging bre in which he got none the worst of 1L Langford kept bor ing in. taking what Devere had to of fer. He frequently connected him self and these blows slowed Devere up. Right Mitt In Best. Devere led with his left with no avail. Nearly always his paw landed on top of Langford's head or hit the negro's arm. He hud better luck with his right mitt and at times actually bothered Iangford with it. Devere would suddenly start to turn as if he was going to run and then lob over his right. In the fifth round the fans got some real thrills. Devere let both handls drive and- Langford retaliat ed with choppy lefts and rights. Langford had a slight shade. Willie St. Clair, who was swing ing a towel for Langford, turned to the press row during the intermis sion bet .. een the sixth and seventh rounds and asked what round was coming up. The seventh, was trie reply, and the information was con veyed to Langford. Langford Goes In Head First. Sam lowered his head when the gong rang and made a rush for Devere. Bob came back with a left hook and a right to the stomach. Langford tore in again as soon as they were broke, sending in a crash ing right cross which caught Devere on the side of the face and swung him around. Langford zipped up a left hook that caught Devere on the chin again and down the Kansas City scrapper went. At the count of three, he was on one knee, shaking his head in an effort to clear it and hitting himself on top of his cranium with his right hand. As Referee Francis reached eight Devere was half up and at nine was on his feet. He made a lunge at Sam and went into a clinch. Lang ford broke loose and let both mitts go. sending Devere reeling into a cor ner. Langford was about to drive in a crusher when Eddie McGoorty heaved in the sponge. Harper Gets Decision. Bobby Harper, the young Seattle lightweight, won an eight-round de cision over Roy Sutherland of Los Angeles in th-e semi-windup. which was the best fight on the card. To say that the Seattle youngster made a hit would be putting it mildly. .He fought a cool, heady fight through out and had the bout in hand at all times after the first round. He came within an ace of stowing the rugged Sutherland away in the fifth and sixth rounds. Only the Los Angeles boxer's great stamina enabled him to weather Harper's barrage of punches. Sutherland put up a creditable fight and finished the final two rounds strong. He registered a sen sational comeback in the eighth round. Harper used a left uppercut with telling effect in nearly every round. Herman Defeats Johnson. Tiny Herman, Astoria heavyweight, defeated Clem Johnson in a one-sided eight-round bout. Herman made a choppinb block out of the Panama negro but couldn't put the latter out. Herman took every round but the third by a wid margin and had a shade in that canto. Johnson failed to make the showing against Herman that he did against Andre Anderson last year and was easy meat for the Astoria Goliath. Johnson nearly went down for keeps in the fourth round. Frank ie Monroe, a shifty Los An geles 124 -pounder, won a six-round declsioni over Weldon Wing of Port land, who scaled 130 pounds. Weldon started off at a merry pace but in the third round Monroe began to breeze to the front and show some class. He had Wing in a bad way in the fourth. Wing rallied in the sixth round but too late to stave off Herman defeated Frankie Crites in four rounds In the curtain raiser. It was a fair scrap. Frank Lon egran and Pearl Casey acted as judges last night and a decision was rend ered in every fight on the card. Some improvement! Willamette, Gillette having a good evening shooting fouls. Fouling was frequent throughout the contest, each quintet offending 16 times. Seventeen personals were called. Mathews made no changes in the Willamette lineup, every man playing a steady game. It was the first conference engagement for both fives, but was a high-class exhit.ition. A return game is scheduled for Cor vallis next Tuesday evening. The lineup: Willamette (27). O. A. C. 2.
