KELLER IS TOYED
ALONG BYDEMPSEY
Champ Has Hard Time Keep'
ing Terry on His Feet.
FAST CLIP SET AT FIRST
Only 1 civ Punches JTeccssary to
Slow Utah FlghtcrDevere
laruicr Bout Poor.
BT DICK SHARP.
Jack Dempsey Is heavyweight
champion of the world. Terry Keiler
is champion of Ogden, Utah, and the
twain shall never meet. Jack boxed
Terry a six two-minute round exhibi
tion in the stellar attraction at the
Milwaukie arena last night and the
only trouble the champion experienced
was keeping Keller on his feet for
the distance.
If ever a boxer made an Impression
it was the world's heavyweight cham
pion last night. He darted in and out,
hitting KeUer at will and blocking al
most every punch Terry started. The
champion was in a happy mood and
smiled frequently at Keller's efforts
to hit him.
Dempsey got a wonderful hand
when he entered the ring. Several
youngsters clambered through the
ropes to shake his gloved mitt. The
two started off at a merry pace, but
a few punches that were not meant
to be hard slowed Keller up to a
walk. Game as they make them, Kel
ler shook his head after every blow
and kept dancing in trying to make
it a real go as much as possible.
Jack Shows Everything.
Jack showed the boys about every
thing in the books that a boxer could
xhow. He ehaped up like a champion
in his ring togs and boxed like one
every time the gong rang for the
start of a canto. Left hooks and right
Jabs came near putting Terry down
for the evening, but when Jack would
send one a little too hard he would
pull Keller !n and shake him up.
From a standpoint of interest th
Dempsey-Keller exhibition was a bet
ter fight than the Frank Farmer-Bob
evere mill. Keferee Loutitt raised.
Farmer's hand in token of victory a
the end of ten rounds of pull-and-tug
milling. It is hard to say which of
the two did more hanging on. Ref
eree Loutitt cautioned Devere repeat
edly the first six rounds for holding,
but to the writer it seemed plain that
Farmer was forking up his hands un
der Devere's arms and hanging on for
dear life.
Bob Devere Is far from being
classy boxer. He was hog fat and
slow, but every time he got into close
quarters he made the going interest
ir.g for Farmer, and Frank can hardly
be blamed for drawing in close and
putting on an armlock.
Six Rounds Terrible.
The Tacoma veteran hit Devere
hundred times, more or less, on the
chin, but could not put Devere down
for the count. The first six rounds
were terrible. The two lumbered
along, Farmer leading with a one
two, and then dropping into a clinch,
Devere's only work was in the
clinches. Matchmaker Kendall passed
the word to Louttit to throw them
out if they didn't fight in the sixth,
and from then on it resembled i
scrap. Both took some hard punish
raent, with Farmer dealing out the
most of It.
Sammy Gordon put up another of
his great fights in his six-round tilt
with Babe Herman of Sacramento,
but lost the decision. Gordon's
weight was announced as 116 pounds,
while Herman scaled 1-3. It was nip
and tuck, with both youngsters box
ing cleverly and not averse to slug
ging once in a while. Gordon made
a great rally in the sixth round after
an uphill fight. Herman looked good
the first couple of rounds and had
Sammy dizzy several times. Gordon
came back after every sock he took
and tried his best to connect with
the shifty Herman.
Langford Get Decision.
Toung Sain Langford. 133-pounder
of Seattle, punched his way to a six-
round decision over Freddie Adge
of Petaluma, Cal. Adge weakened in
the final round after taking plenty
on the chin. Adge seemed off hia
form. He looked good at times,
rushing Langford with lefts and
rights, but didn't have any reserve
to go in and follow up the damage,
Tost Schmeer surprised even him
self by winning a six-round call over
Battling Zu Zu of Manila. The Fili
pino welterweight took everything
Schmeer had to offer and still kept
coming in for more. The bout was
one of the best on the card and re
plete with excitement. Zu Zu seemed
to have an even break or better
through the match, but Schmeer land
ed many clean punches.
The Mickey Dempsey-Billy Ryan,
four-round curtain raiser was
stopped in the fourth round and the
decision given to Dempsey. He was
crowding Kyan and Loutitt stepped in
between them and raised Mickey's
ha ad.

KEW YORK, Jan. 26. Jack Curley,
who has promoted most of the cham
pionship wrestling matches :n New
York, announced tonight he would
rot stage any more matches 'n which
the "head lock" hold was permitted.
Curley, who promoted the cham
pionship match Monday between Ed
IStrangler) Lewis and Karl Caddock,
aid he was "bowing to the demands
of the press and public."
The head hold, used by Lewis to
defeat Caddock, brought sharp criti
cism from fans, although Caddock
himself made no objection.

UNCLE SAM SAYS NAY, NAY TO
LETTING FAIR FANS IN FREE
Nominal Charge of 10 Cents to Be Charged on Special Days by
McCredies Grandstand Prices Advanced 5 Cents, Bleachers 10.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
rriHB Coast league magnates
in
1 their confab at San Francisco
Wednesday were able to keep
their hands off each other long
enough to agree to advance grand
stand prices S cents and bleacher
scats 10 cents. This will make Coast
league prices next season 75 cents
for grandstand seats and BO cents
for perches in the bleachers, in place
of the 70 and 40-cent schedule of
last year.
The league as a whole fixes admit
tance price schedules, but each in
dividual club owner can make his own
decisions on such points as ladies'
days. Before he left Portland for
San Francisco Judge McCredle was
mulling over a plan to declare
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
ladies' days in Portland with an ad
mittance charge of 10 cents for
women on those days.
The iudee would like to return
Mulligan-came to Salt Lake In 1919 to the old custom of free admittance
from the Kansas City club. With for women on ladies days bin Uncle
Mulligan in the lineup the Chicago in-1 Sam stands severely in the way or
field will be made up this year of
three former Salt Lake players
Sheely at first, Johnson at shortstop
and Mulligan at third base.
Rogers Signed for Fight.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 26. (Spe
cial.) Nick Randich and Harry
Druxman, Grays Harbor fight pro
moters, have signed Frankie Rogers,
well known welterweight now win
tering in Seattle, for a smoker here
February 7 at Eagles' hall. Rocers
probably will be matched against
Frank Haynie. An attempt was made
to match Stanley Willis as one of the
principals of the show, but this was
found impossible, as Willie is still
filling engagements in the East.
Seattle Wins Hockey Game.
SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 26. Seattle
took a hard-fought hockey game
from Vancouver on the local rink to
night, w'nning the contest in the
final period, 3 to 2. Vancouver made
the only score of the first per'od and
put over another goal early in the
second. Seattle tied with tVo goals
in the second period and held the vis
itors scoreless in the last session.
Aggies Lose to Stanford.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
Jan. 26. Stanford defeated Oregon
Agricultural college at basketball
here tonight, 33 to 25. Mills, Stan
ford center, scored 21 points. Stim
son was the star for Oregon Agricul
tural college, with a total score of 15
points. The Stanford freshman team
defeated the five from University
high school, Oakland, 33 to 15.
Sport Comment.
Roy Moore, bantamweight boxer, who
has been maintaining a rood consistent
average of victories in the ring, la ail old-
timer at the game who started him ring
career a half dozen years ago as & four
round performer in San Francisco. No boy
is more deserving or success than is Moore.
Alwaya a clean liver, a boy who never
drank or smoked. Moore also la one of the
hardest working pugilists in the game. He
trains most conscientiously, and, when in
the ring, always Is trying his best. He
takes his work seriously and is a credit to
the sport. He has hundreds of well-
wiphers who hope he will be given an op
portunity for the championship.

A game of American Intercollegiate foot
ball between teams of the United States
and Canada Is nearer realization than
many may suspect. The Canadians have
men on their teams, but aside from
this there is not much difference in the
manner of playing the game, although
they do not Include the forward pass. Bos
ton college and McGill college of Mon
treal are negotiating for a contest next
fall. Once the tee Is broken, it should
pave the way to many contests with our
cousins across the border. The Pacific
Coast would be the gainer by this interna
tional competition.
Pop Geers has been a character on the
Grand Circuit since before our fathers
wore knickerbockers, and the old man
of the trotting game is likely again to
be seen piloting his horses to victory this
season. Pop has only a couple of seasons
more to go to round out an even half
century on the turf. He is TO years old.

The announced retirement of Fanny Da-
rack, noted Australian swimmer, brines
out that at one time Miss Durack held
very recognized woman's world cham
pionship in swimming, something no other
womnn in the world ever achieved. Many
of these titles she still holds, and it prob-
hly will be some time before they will be
broken. Any girl in the future who can
uplicate the feat of holding every world's
record will have to be a super-swimmer.
The number of aspirants fur honors la
growing fast.
ihii Th indue did let tnem in
free for a few games early last sea
son but quit it when the internal
revenue department came down on
him like a ton of brick and demanded
7 cents war tax for each woman
spectator.
The Judge pointed out that the
women were admitted free. The gov
ernment countered with the assertion
that they occupied regular seat3 and
made the judge pungle up the 7 cents
each which he hadn't collected.
By charging the women a dime each
on ladies' days, the judge figures
on collecting the seven cents due the
government and getting away from
the nuisance of making penny change.
That will make the net admittance
charge for women only 3 cents, which
will hardly break even a woman with
a stingy husband. ,
No fewer than seven big league
baseball clubs will start the coming
season with new managers. Boston
will have two of 'em. Ed Barrow re
signed as manager of the Red Sox
to become business manager, what
ever that is, for the Yankees and
Hugh Duffy, an old-timer in profes
sional baseball, succeeds him. Duffy
took his Toronto clubs to second
place last season in the International
league after a tough scrap for the
pennant with Jack Dunn's Baltimore
minor league champions. Fred Mitch
ell, former Cub leader, will head the
Boston Braves, vice George Staliings,
nno-time "miracle man." released.
Johnny Eyers of the old Evers-to-
Tjnker-to-Chance comDinauon out
n.Ha Mitchell as chief of the Cubs.
Four oldtimers have finished their
as major league chieftains
and give way to others. The four
are Huzhey Jennings at Detroit;
Jimmy Burke at St. Louis: Gavvy
Cnxvath at Philadelphia, and Clark
Griffith at Washington. Jennings be
comes assistant to McGraw at New
York and Is succeeded at Detroit by
Tv rnhh. Jimmv Burke has been sup.

Lee Fohl, once manager for Cleve

chaos on the Philadelphia Nationals.
And George Mcuriae, veteran siiun-
stop, will manage w asmngiuu m iuc
American league.
Clark Griffith, though retiring as
nnacrpr- does so to sto up to pres
ident of .the club. No doubt he will
have a good deal to say yet about
the management of the club. Griffith
has managed big league clubs for
20 years. In that time he won only
. . . . i
one pennant, inai iur inc
White Sox in 1901, his first year as
manager. Since then he has handled
the New York Yanks, the Cincinnati

the Washington Senators.
Here Is the text of the petition that
football men at the University of
Oregon have signed, asking the re
tention of Shy Huntington for anoth
er year and abandonment of efforts
to obtain Gil Dobie:
We. the undersigned, do hereby
petition that Shy Huntington be re
tained as football coach next year.
We believe sincerely that we are in
an excellent position to juuge oi tne
qualities of Shy's coaching, as most
of us have piayea unaer mm ana tne
rest of us who have not been directly
under his coaching hope and expect
to be under, his tutelage next fall.
We. the undersigned, deplore the
petty bickerings and grudges of a
disgruntled few and we have only to
point to Shy's record to Justify our
stand. Shy Huntington has won a
northwest championship and a Pacific
coast championship during his three
years of coaching at this Institution.
it took Hugo Bezdek lour years and
Andy Smith' five years to produce
championship teams.
"We ask in despair what the dis
gruntled members of the athletic
council desire? Two championships
in three years is an excellent record,
and it would be a mark of the rank
est ingratitude and poorest sports
manship for these disgruntled and
envious members to agitate for a new
coach.
"We also would like to remind the
athletic council that if a new coach is
secured, it is not at all founded that
the coach wold either be with or
without many of his prospects for
next year.
"We, the undersigned, wish to de
clare that we have signed this peti
tion on our own initiative, without
any suggestions from any one. Once
more we wish to state that we,be
lieve that any man who has made
good as eminently as Shy Huntington
has should be retained without dis
cussion." .
The men who signed this petition
were Mart Howard, left end and captain-elect
of next year's football
team; Spike Leslie, left tackle and
two-year letter men; Tiny Shields
right tackle and letter man; Neal
Morfitt, right end and letter man
Ed Ward, left guard and letter man
Scotty Strachan, left guard and letter

team who will be eligible to play on
the varsity next year: Ward John

the champion Akron gridiron stars de
feated a team captained by Tuffy
uonn a couple of weeks ago, 13 to 7,
and repeated again last Saturday, 21
to 7. The first game was a torrid
affair and was remarkable for a for
ward pass to a touchdown actually
longer and more spectacular than
Brick Muller's celebrated 50-yard
heave to Stephens. This professional
pass was for 55 yards. It was hurled
by Rip King, and Bierce, who received
it, was standing on the line waiting
tor it when it arrived.
The pass was made by Akron from
her own 45-yard line, where Pollard
had just previously been downed on
receiving a punt. The first play fol
lowing was a double pass. Pollard
received the bail from center, ran back
about ten yards and. as he was about
to be tackled, hurled the ball, rugby
fashion, to King, who was running
parallel to Pollard. King then shot
the ball to Bierce, who was standing
on tne goal line wnen ne received it.
DEMPSEY TO FIGHT HERE
(Continued From First Pace.
Dempsey stopped Brennan in the 12th
round. Dempsey is slated to meet
Jess Willard in a 15-round decision
match in New York on -Jarch 17, and
if the bout goes through as arranged,
then Dempsey's match here would be
the third decision bout since he won
his. crown, of course, providing he
doesn't take part in any more de
cision matches between truU date and
April, wnicn is unlikely.
Several Heavies Sought.
Matchmaker Evans has lines out
for some of the best known heavy
weights in the world, but has not yet
beard in reply from any of them.
The champion s opponent mav be
Sam Langford, Bill Brennan, Fred
Fulton, Carl Morris. Bartley Madden
or Bob Martin. With plenty of time
to arrange for an opponent Evans
will be able to comb the field and
select the one who appears to be
able to give the champion the best
struggle In a ten-round decision
match for the world's championship.
and who at the same time is willing
to meet Dempsey.
It Is the hardest thing in the world
to get an opponent, regardless of
class, to box Sam Langford, but that
Is easy compared with the problem
of getting someone to meet Dempsey.
Langford usually lets his man stay
few rounds anyway, but Dempsey
is in the ring to put him out the
first canto if it can be done, and his
record shows, but few instances in
which he has failed to stow his op
ponent away in a few rounds. The
men who have stayed the distance
with Dempsey since he began to go
good can be counted on your right
hand. Mlske stayed once and thought
he could do it again, but as classy
fighter as Miske was. Dempsey j
nearly annihiliated him last Labor
Day at Benton Harbor, Mich.
Willard Gets Another Try.
Jess Willard, a superman if there
ever was such an animal, towered
over Dempsey like Goliath over David
and he took just as hard a fa.IL
Willard is to meet Dempsey In a 15
round match at Madison Square
Garden March 17, according to pres
ent plans. Willard says that he
greatly underrated Dempsey 'at To
ledo and that Jack caught him in
the worst of shape. Big Jess is con
fident that he will regain his title,
but what he will pfobably get is
another sound lacing. Dempsey
never looks for a soft fight and will
be right for Willard.
Dempsey will not meet Georges
Carpentier until after his Portland
scrap. Because of this fact the fans
will be able to get a real line on
just what Dempsey Is likely to do
with Carpentier.
Two years ago Carpentier wasn't
comparable with Dempsey, but today
many critics give him an even chance
to win.
Dempsey has been trying ever since
he won the title to get people to
regard him not as a super-man, but
just an ordinary mixer. In talking
of the match with Carpentier Demp
sey said yesterday.
"Georges is as tough a proposition
as could be dished up to me. I have
never seen him box and care little
about his speed or ability to hit with
his right hand. I will be in the best
condition of my career when I face
Carpentier, and should Tie be fit to
outspeed me for ten or 12 rounds 1
think that my stamina will get him
then.
"Crack Them First," Motto.
"As for the other heavyweights In
the game they all have a chance to
beat me. None of us can stand up
if hit in the right spot and hard
enough. I would probably go down
just as easy as the next fellow if one
of my opponents should get to me
with a crusher. We are all Just
human beings after all. My motto
iei 'Crack them first.' "
Articles of agreement for the match
will be drawn up in New York by
Kearns, who will keep in daily touch
with Bobby Evans and the Portland
boxing commission. As soon as the
date in April can be definitely named
and an opponent selected the con
tracts will be signed and dispatched
here with forfeit money.
Jack Kearns will leave for New
York this morning to complete de
tails for the Willard and Carpentier
matches. There are hundreds of cities
in the United States which have bid
for Dempsey's services, but without
avail. ,
Kearns will take Joe Benjamin to
New York with him. Dempsey will
return to Los Angeles tonight to com
plete work on a motion picture. Marty
Farrell, the third member of Kearns'
stable of champs, will remain in Port
land for a few weeks and will take
part in matches here and in Seattle
before joining Kearns in New York.
As soon as he arrives In tne east
Kearns will work toward the closing
of a 15-round match between iarrell
and Mike "D'Dowd. .

BOXtXG BILL IS IXTItODCCED
Washington Senator Said to Be As
sured of Passage of Measure.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 26. A bill
legalizing 10-round boxing contests in
the state was introduced in the state
senate today. Senator Wray of King
county, who submitted the measure,
said that- he had been assured of
enough votes in both the senate and
house to procure its enactment
The bill provides for a state box
ing commission appointed by the gov
ernor, to have charge of all contests
and exhibitions, and requires that a
boxer, before entering the ring, must
prove that he has a "useful, legiti
mate and gainful" occupation apart
from boxing. Ten three-minute rounds

Bovard, Tiffany and Walker In
dorse Candidacy of Freshman
Mentor at California.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, Jan. 25. (Special.) "Nibs'
Price became a possibility today
varsity football coach next fall upon
receipt of a telegram -from Berkeley,
Cal., from Dean Bovard, A. R. Tiffany
and Dean H. Walker suggesting the
appointment by the athletic council.
Walker and Tiffany are both mem
bers of this council and offered to
teleeraDh their votes in favor of
Price providing the athletic council
was willing to consider him. A num
ber of council members were not in
the cjty today and it was impossible
to obtain a quorum.
Dobie, now coach of Cornell and
who was offered JS500 to come to
Oregon, has replied that he will not
come for less than $10,000. He is
receiving $7500 where he Is and said
he would not make the change for
less.
Dobie and Bezdek Sounded Oat.
The idea of obtaining Dobie origi
nated as a plan to answer the forma
tion of big three conference. A com
mittee of athletic council was empow
ered to sound out both Dobie and
Bezdek. Bezdek was found to be un
available, but Dobie offered to come
for $10,000. The idea of obtaining
other coaches providing these were
unavailable was not suggested until
there was a report circulated that
there was dissatisfaction with Hunt
ington among the team members.
The telegram of Bovard, Walker
and Tiffany stated that it would be
possible to procure tho services of
Price for $5000. Price has been the
coach of the freshman football teams
at the University of California for
the last two seasons, and previously
was the mentor for the ban uiego
high school teams. The telegram
stated that all three of the men were
in favor oX the selection of Price and
asked immediate action.
Campbell Refuses to Talk.
President Campbell was in Eugene
today. He refused to make a state
ment as to what would be done, but
said that as yet nothing definite had
been decided. He will leave tonight
and will be gone for a short time.
Upon his return a meeting of the
council will be called and the matter
definitely decided. The meeting will
be open.
Professor Howe of the athletic
I council, made a statement today to
the effect that he favors the reten
tion of Huntington. There is a strong
sentiment among the students in
favor of Huntington and a strong ob
jection to Dobie among the faculty.
The. chief faculty objection to Do
bie, according to Professor Howe, is
that the faculty at the University of
Washington was unable to get by
with him and that President Suzzalo
of that institution was forced to dis
miss him.
Alumni Sentiment Strong.
There is strong sentiment among
the alumni to obtain Dobie. Telephone
calls were received from several to
day questioning the action of the
football team in circulating the peti
tion. Captain-elect Howard threw
some light on the case when he stated
that football men were not trying to
prevent the procuring of a coach of
the caliber of Dobie. Their idea was
that Huntington should not be re
leased unless a fjrst-rate coach had
already been signed. It was not their
idea to oppose Dobie but they did not
wish a third-rater to be selected.
Walker Is Blamed.
"Shy". Huntington said the whole
affair was started as a grudge fight
against him. He named Dean Walker,
who, he said, had been trying to have
him ousted for some time. The for
mation of the big-three conference,
he said, gave the opportunity and
Walker took the matter up to the
athletic council purely as a means
of an answer to this organization.
The idea was successful, and steps
were taken either to obtain Bezdek
Or UODie, nuniiiisiuii ueinfi luiu iiiui
providing neither of these men were
obtained he would be re-elected.
When Bezdek was found to be unob
tainable and Dobie asked so much
money, the opposition to Huntington
suggested that other coaches should
be sounded out. It was on this basis
that Price was approached.
When asked as to whether he would
consider a proposition to remain at
Oregon next year as football mentor
Huntington said that it would depend
on circumstances. At present his sal
ary is only $3000. He refused to say
as to the amount he asked provided
he was offered the coaching position
again.
. Council Is Divided.
At present the athletic council is
divided in their opinion of the gradu
ate coaching system.
The student sentiment seemed to
be in favor of the retention of Hunt
ington, providing that a coach of high
caliber like Dobie cannot be ob
tained. The alumni apparently is in
favor of a change, and -he facutly
seems for the most part to be fori
HuntinertJn.
The matter will not be decided. until
the return of President Campbell the
latter part of the week.

chances, scoring a total of 23 points
including his six field goals.
Doc Bohler's aggregation showed
more fight than last night but less
team work than in any game this

three substitutions in an effort to
stem the tide, but of no avail.

BASKETBALL TEAMS ARE TIED
O. A. C. Intramural Games Result
In Close Race for Championship.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallls. Jan. 26. (Special.)
The third week of the intramural
basketball championship resulted in
ties In each division of the contests.
The- Phi Delta Theta. Sigma Phi
Epsilon, and the Alpha Sigma Phi are
tied for first honors In the national
fraternity group. The Alpha Tau
Omega, Lambda Chi Alpha. Kappa
Psl, Pi Kappa Alpha and the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon are running second
with a good chance of gaining the
lead.
The Gamma Tau Beta and the
Kappa Theta Rho tied for first In the
local fraternity league with the
Omega Upsilon, Theta Delta Nil, Al
pha Phi Delta, Delta Kappa and
Gamma Nu tied for second place.
Groups 3 and 7 are leading In the
Independent league, while the Was
tinea club is undefeated in the Poling
Hall league. Interest Is running high.
and it is expected that the next week
will practically determine the cham
pions in each league. More than 40
teams are participating in the games,
with every fraternity, club and inde
pendent organization being represented.
Interest of the basketball fans w'M
be divided tonight between two wiaely
separated sections of the city. At the
Neighborhood house. Second and
Woods streets, the South Parkay
quintet will play the Chcmawa Indian
school five, and at the I'ranklin high
school the Arleta Athletic club tosscrs
will entertain the Gilbert station
hoopers.
A real treat Is In store for the
court game enthusiast who attends
cither of the two contests. At the
Neighborhood house the fans will have
an opportunity of witnessing the
champions of the Portland basketball
league, which recently closed a very
successful season, battle one of Ihe
lightest but also one of the fastest
quintets in the state, in the form of
the Chemawa basket tosscrs.
For several seasons Parkway and
the Indians have come together, and
the two teams have broken even on
the number of games played to date.
Later in the season South Parkway
will engage Chemawa on Its own
floor, and for that reason tne lojal
tossers will fight to get the edge in
the contest tonight.
A preliminary game, to start at 7.30
o'clock, will find the Jcwisn Bovs'
Athletic club quintet pitted against
another strong lightweight team of
the city. Leon Eabre will .referee both
games.
Manager Pander, of the Parkway
quintet, will use the same lineup that
pas carried his team thus far In ine
season without a defeat. Mor-is
Rogoway and Captain Myer Dubin-
sky will hold down the forward posi-
t'ons. with Abe Popick at center.
"Hull" Lnkeles and Harry Arbuch
will form the defense.
At Franklin high school the con-
tost between Arleta and Gilbert sta
tion will find a fast and light five in
the Arleta clubmen pitted agiinst a
strong and heavy aggregation. Arleta
was another team of the Portland
basketball association that made a
good showing, being runner up to the
South Parkway champions.
Just when the Arleta tribe begin
to hit a winning streak alon? came
the Portland high school league ruling
which prohibited any high school
players participat'ng In a game as a
member of an outside quintet. This
ruling robbed Manager Brooks of
three of his star hoopmen.
Manager Brooks, by signing tip a
couple of new players, la endeavoring
to build up his combination agvn.
Tonight against the Gilbert station
five, the Arleta team should be evr.iy
bit as strong, if not stronger thjn
it was earlier in the season. Gilbert
stat'on has been coming alon? nicely
since tho start of the season, a'ld
has been mowing down opponents
with regularity. The game tonight
will start , at 8 o'clock.
The TToneyman Hardware company
quintet has been putting in a lot of
extra practice in the past few days
so as to be in the best of sh.ine
for its coming games wfth the Ham
mond Lumber company and the Co
lumbia club at Astoria. The Hanimind
tossers have yet to lose a game to
any Portland team that has ever in
vaded their territory. The learn is
one that has been playing together
for the past four years, anil has per
fected an excellent combination.
The Columbia club team h:is sev
eral members of last year's Centen
nial baseball team, and as the rlvaiiy
between the Honeyman Hardware
nine and the Centennials was very,
keen last season, it is expected that
they will carry the f'ght to the
basketball court.
The Peninsula Park Mohawks de
feated the Linger Longer club Basket
ball team Tuesday night on the I'en'n

baskets from the floor and one con
verted foul.
