BT L E GREGORT.
TIIS la a critical week In Pacific
coast conference basketball
circles. Stanford and California,
tied for the conference leadership
with six wins and one loss each for
a percentage of .857, have the hardest
games of their northern trip ahead
of them. California plays University
of Oregon at Eugene tonight and
tomorrow night while Stanford Is
playing University of Washington at
Seattle.
Oregon, with six wins and two
losses for a percentage of .750, is only
half a game behind the leadera If
she can defeat California in both
games and Washington is able to
break even with Stanford, Oregon
and Stanford then would be tied with
eight Wins and two losses each, their
percentage being .SOU.
Of course, Washington might even
defeat Stanford twice, though thai Is
too much to hope for at the rate the
Cardinal five is traveling. If Wash
ington only breaks even It will help
a lot. But to have a chance at the
chamnionshio It is absolutely essen
tial for Oregon to win both games
from California.
That's a tough lob to tackle, but
California isn't invincible and the
Oregon team right now is at the top
of its drive. Coach Rutherford of
Oregon Agricultural college, whose
boys have layed both teams, thinks
Oregon the stronger of the two, so
the Oregoniana have at leaot a fight
ing chance to cop their needed two
in a row.
After the game with California,
Oregon has four more games to play,
all of them at Eugene, to wind up her
schedule. She meets University of
Washington February 25 and 26 and
Washington State college February
2S and March 1.
In this respect the California col
leges have the better of the schedule.
for after their games this week their
only remaining conference games are
against each other. California won
their first set-to last Saturday night
and Stanford will fight like a gang
at tigera to even it up.
Oregon is the only northwestern
varsity with a chance at the cham
pionship, for Washington, the next
closest, has woi. only four games and
lost the eame number.

Bill Roper, head football coach at
Princeton, expressed himself forcibly
against Interactional football con
tests like the Pasadena game at a
banquet of Princeton alumni in St.
Louis the other night. He made It
clear that so far as Princeton is con
cerned it never will accept an invita
tion to coin west.
Roper waa particularly strong In
his condemnation . of the Pasadena
game and said there would be none
of It for him or Princeton. He de
clared th.at Princeton already had
been sounded out as to coming to the
coast next New Tear's day. but that
his answer waa "Not for Princeton."
Tha Nassau coach talked about "the
he has a lot of stuff but that he Is
unlucky. That's not unusual in base
ball. Sometimes a man with every
thing actually has to quit the game
because it seems that the luck always
breaks against him. Perhaps after
Tipple got out here to the coast his
luck would change, but alt and
the Judge are going to think It over
carefully before they send along bis
transportation.
"If you belonged to a baseball team
that had won a world's championship,
and you flattered yourself- that you
were rather an Important cog in that
machine, and you were sitting back
pretty well satisfied with yourself,
feeling sure that your work would
be appreciated by a substantial rise
in pay and then you got notice that
you bad been shipped to the minors
wouldn't that J-A-R you, writes Ed
Hughes in the San Frunclsco -Chron
icle.
That's what happened to Maury
Rath, the intielder, who now belongs
to .the Seals. He was jarred to the
heels when Cincinnati let him go, so
it is no wonder he is a bit slow about
signing with the Seals. As a mat
ter of fact, the Seals are offering
Rath more money thsn he got at Cin
cinnati, but he was so surprised when
the other 15 clubs in the major
leagues let him go by the waiver
route that he can hardly realize It yet.
However, he will sign with the
Seals pretty soon, for there is no
other place for him to go. He still
thinks he is a big league player and
a lot of baseball writers on the two
major league circuits put in with
him, but he is out of the majors now
so he must make the best of it
Rath hit better last year than ha
did the year before when he helped
Cincinnati win the National league
pennant and the world's champion
ship, so he naturally thought he was
all bet in that town. But Cincinnati
turned him over to Seattle in part
payment for Sammy Bonne and Se
attle sold him to San Francisco for a
nice piece of change.

Coach Butler's squad.
Several dates had been set for meets
with the university, but for various
reasons the Eugene institution called
the contests off a day or two before
the time set. As O. A. C. and Oregon
are the only cclleges that have been
meeting in boxing It was Impossible
to arrange other contests this season.
The college team was composed of
Claude W. Crocker, 115-pound class
Lyman Cooley, 135; Hubert Hall, 12
pounds, and Clem Sharkey, 15
pounds. The team had gotten In goo
shape on two different occasions fo

LAST SEASON MEN BACK
Gaps Made by Players Missing
From Scliool May Be Tilled
by Frosh of Last Year.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 17. (Special.) Baseball will
start at tho university in about two
weeks, according to Shy Huntington.
Huntington probably will coach this
sport again this year. The coach has
not been officially selected, but in
dications are that Huntington will be
the choice. .?
There are aeveral members of the
last season's learn back In college as
well as eome who played on the frosh
team last year. Captain Bill Rein
hart is in school and probably-wlll
play in the fiold again. The othe
two regular fielders of last year. Kill
Steers and Carl Knudscn, will not be
out for the team. Steers finished his
school work last term and Knudsen
probably will be out for track.
Hcrni Lind will be missing from
first, but Ralph "Railroad" Smith,
who played that place on the fresh
man team last year, probably wil
fill that hole. Smith hits well and is
a good all-around player. Vine Ja
cobberger, Skeet Manerud and Jay
Fox, who played the other infield
places, are not in school, and these
places are all open. Carl Liebe and
Hubert Jacobberger are two infleld
ers of the frosh team who may be
used. Johnny Houston, a letter man
In baseball two years ago, will also
get a' good chance at his old place at
hird. John Gamble, an ex-varsity
outfielder, will be out.
Art Berg and Jake Jacobson are
wo pitchers of last year's varsity In
school. Dick Shimm probably will be
relief pitcher. Spike Leslie is back
to catch.
The weakest place on the team as
looks now Is in a lack of hitters
according to Huntington. Leslie hits
well and Smith Is also good, but the
ther men aro better fielders than
bat wlelders. There also is need for
relief catcher.
If Huntington Is chosen to coach,
wants to get the men out within
wo weeks. He probably will devote
wo nights a week to his fcrosh
basketball men then and two to the
baseball team. The Frosh are about
hrough for this year, and he will be
ble to spare the time. He also wants

determine a championship team through a
process of elimination in tha various Mic
tions of the country.
The Industrial association places a more
liberal interpretation on the question-of
who shall and who shall not compete than
does the amateur athletic union. The main
idea is to give recreation to all and if a
man has been a professional in the past,
that does not bar him so long as he is
living up to the rules of the association.
.
'A feature of the Industrial association
Is the fact that the women and girls are
participants as well as the men and are
encouraged to form teams. They are quite
as enthusiastic as their brothers.
Through the payment of nominal dues,
made by the Industrial plants Interested,
it is possible to offer attractive prizes. It
will be only a matter of time before there
will be a number of perpetual trophies pre
sented by heads of some of these plants
tow championships. It la well established
that the prospect of gaining a prize of
some worth spurs athletes to better ef
fort. There is nothing mercenary In this
attitude. It is the same feeling that ac
tuates the big game hunter. He takes
pride in the heads of big game he has shot
which adorn his study walls or the great
bear rug which covers his floor.

in the May swimming meet he will
show before a crowd of 12,000 fans,
Preparations are being made to seat
that number.
Swimming meets during the past
few years have grown with regard
to attendance until now the average
meet without mainland stars draws
anywhere from 8000 to 10,000 fans.
Twelve thousand and more are ex

the coming of mainland talent for the

held at that meet, and in that race
will be six of the world's fastest

This will Include Pua Kealoha, who

century; Duke Kahanamoku, Olympic
champion and world record-holder in

the Invading eleven can hardly be

Therefore, I would not compare the

One thing is becoming reasonably
certain. That is that the next really

only fair that a coast eleven should
