i TO MEET COUGARS
3000 Students Give Merry
Send-Off to California.
r HARD GAME IS EXPECTED
Winner of Struggle In Portland
Saturday Expected to Carry
West's Colors at I'usudena.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley. Oct. 26. (Special.) Twenty-five
members of the California var
sity football team, accompanied by
Coaches Andy Smith, Boles. Rosenthal
and Trainer Bryan, left Oakland at
10:45 o'clock tonight on the Orego
nlan for Portland, where they play
Washington State in the second con
ference game of the season Saturday.
Three thousand students made merry
and serpentined over the campus
preparatory to the teanVs departure
to the training table whence they
were taken by automobiles to Oakland
mole and here the men retired In
their private car at o'clock.
The squad as It speeds northward
tonight to meet the Cougars Is far
from over-confident. The hardest
game of the season is before them
and the winner Saturday undoubtedly
will carry the colors of the west at
Pasadena New Year's day. Smith real
izes that he has a hard Job ahead
and with the expectation of having
to meet many emergencies he Is tak
ing practically the whole squad with
the exception of the three men who
are so badly Injured thaf they cannot
hope to play for weeks, at least. These
three are Muller and Witter, out with
broken ankles and Fells with a badly
torn ligament in his knee. .
Hard Ciarae Expected.
In a statement Just before the
team's departure, Smith said he ex
pected one of the hardest games in
many seasons Saturday. It was his
belief, he asserted, that Washington
'State would play a heavy line plung
ing game, varied somewhat by the
open and kicking style of play.
"They have the men to do all these
things," was his comment.
It is uncertain Just what kind of
a game California will play. Weather
conditions may alter Andy Smith's
plans entirely. It is generally ex
pected that there will be iiclement
weather and a wet field. In this case
the experience gained last week
against Oregon on a muddy field will
prove valuable.
Tram In Crippled.
The team Is badly crippled, but will
enter the game working like the vet
eran aggregation It Is. Don Nichols,
the flash of the season, is the latest
addition to the crippled list with a
bad knee. Engelbretson, Toomey, Mor
rison, Cline and Clark all are suffer
ing from Injuries but will play in an
emergency.
The team will arrive In Portland
Friday morning and will hold a brief
workout that afternoon to uncramp
their "train legs." Then they will en
Joy a period of absolute rest until the
hour of the game.
The men forming the varsity squad
that entrained are: Captain Latham.
Nlsbit. Bell. Berkey. Cline. Dunn,
O'Brien. Krb, Hufford. Nichols. Steph
ens, Toomey. Kngelbretson. Pearce,
Morrison, Vansant, Barnes, Clark,
C'ramner, Dean, Beam. Gallagher, Mc
Millan, Toney and Schuur.
TIIHKK COlGAItS PROTESTED
Sax, Moran, Jenne Ineligible to
Pluy, Aver California.
BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 26. A pro
test by the University of California
that Snx. Moran and Jenne. star back
field men on the Washington State
.college football team, are not eligible
to play In Pacific Coast conference
games, because certain conference
rules act to operate against them,
was denied by Washington State in
a telegram today to the California
football authorities. California will
accept the Washington answer at Its
face value, it was announced, and
will play a scheduled game with the
northern college at Portland Satur
day. California protested that Moran
and Jenne had been participating In
Intercollegiate sports for a longer
period than the conference rules
allow and that Sax. after registering
at Stanford and then transferring to
Washington State failed to wait the
required year Rfter such transfer be
fore entering a conference game.

IT NOW APPEARS CALIFORNIA
IS FLYING STORM SIGNALS
Protest of Three Cougars Indicates Bears Are Worried But It Has
Put the Old Nick Into Washington State. "
BY L. H. GREGORY.
BEGINS to look as If California
really were worried about Wash
ington State in the big game here
Saturday. When one college protests
three of the best football players on
another varsity team, as California
has Just done, something like that
generally is behind it.
California has protested Moe Sax,
Mike Moran and Eldon Jenne of the
Washington State squad, pn the
ground that MWan and Jenne have
been participating In intercollegiate
snorts more than the three years per
mitted by PaclfJc coast conference
rules, and Moe Sax Decause ne is al
leged to have left Washington State,
registered at Stanford, and then re
turned te Washington State.
Dr. J. Fred Bohler, athletic director
at Washington State, in a telegram to
The Oregonlan last night makes a
hot rejoinder to the charges. Dr.
Bohler says the records of all three
men are absolutely clean.
In his telegram he said:
-Sporting Editor of .The Oregonlan.
There Is nothing to the protests of
Washington State players by Califor
nia. Moran enrolled here in the fall
of 1917. The same year he was with
the marines at Mare Island. He played
on the varsity In 1919 and 1920. In
1917 he played on the freshman team,
not on the varsity, because freshmen
then, as now, were ineligible to play
on the varsity.
"It seems that the confusion came
about in this way: Moran was with
the marines, together with the Han
leys, Bangs and Gillls, and hia name
was always connected with .theirs as
being . a Washington State player.
Since It is now three years from that
date. California probably feels that
he should be outJ The records are
clear as to this and there is abso
lutely nothing to It.
"In the case of Sax he was gone
from the campus here about two
weeks and was at Palo Alto for two
days, but did) not enroll. Records at
Stanford) ver'fy this.
"Jenne enrolled in 1917 and is now
in his third year"
Which ought to- settle that.
. California must have thought she
had good reason to protest the boys,
but now that the protest falls flat,
as It will fall flat, It is Just as likely
as not to be one thing needed to put
the spirit of Old Nick into the whole
Washington State gairg. If they
needed anything more than the recol
lection of that 49 to 0 muss at Berke
ley last year, this will give It to them,
Nothing makes a collegian hotter
than to have an opponent protest
somebody on his team and then fall
down on the protest. Watch those
Washington Staters fight.
The reference to Moe Sax and his
trln to Stanford brings up one of the
causes of dissension on the Washing
ton State eleven last year. sax ana
Moran were not friendly, and their
quarrel put the whole team on the
fritz. After the eleven got back home
Coach Welch. It will be remembered,
had Moran and another player- turn
In their suits for the season.
But that was last year. Now, such
are the vagaries of human nature,
Moran and little Sax are the two
closest chums on the ' Washington
State campus. Moran asked for an
other chance on the team and Welch
gave it to him and showed his confi
dence by putting him in at fullback
to fill the aching void left by the
graduation of Glllis.
Now when little Sax takes the ball
It's Moran who opens up the holes for
him and protects him In every possi
ble way from injury. Recounting the
circumstances of last year's trouble
can hurt nobody now, for the two are
as close'as peas In a pod.
One result of their quarrel last year
was that Sax left Washington state
and went to Stanford, intending to
register there. He got as far as the
Stanford campus, thought It all over
for a couple of days, then returned
home without ever having enrolled.
California, of course, got on to the
fact of his trip to Stanford, hence the
present protest. But Moe fooled 'em
because he didn't register there at all.
He is Just as eligible to play for
Washington State as If he never had
packed up his suitcase and left the
campus.
Excitement at Washington State
college is at fever tensity over this
coming game. Word came from there
last night that four sleepers from
Pullman and Spokane will bring fans
to the game who Just can't stay
away. Besides that, some au Wash
ington State students who- haven t the
price of a round-trip ticket in their
Jeans are beating their way down
here, and there isn t much danger
that the faculty will fire them for
playing hookey, either. Faculty and
student body alike are pepped up for
the struggle.

cause no more grandstand seats are
left. Telegraph orders for 10 seats,
20 seats, in one case 48 seats, came
rolling in yesterday. Two or three
of . them were filled and that ended
it. The entire grandstand ha been
sold out.
.If that MuRnomah club stadium
were only built. It would, be easy to
sell 10.000 reserved seats in advance
of the game, to say nothing tot the
remaining 20,000 of its seating ca
pacity by the day of the battle.
Mr. Schroeder has now put the
general admission tickets on sale,
and the boys are buying them fast.
They include bleacher seats. . Of
course, the general admission tickets
may be purchased the day of the
game, but there-will be such" a rush
to get them then that the wise ones
are doing it now.
The band at Jefferson High school
will sit in the Washington State
bleacher section Saturday and be
tween tunes root for their old school
mate, Mae Sax. Moe attended Jef
ferson High before he went to college.
...
There is one young player on the
Washington State squad of whom
great things are expected in the game
against California. His name is
Zaepful, and he plays left half,
though he is only a kid of 20 or 21,
and this is his first year on the var
sity, he has shown so much that Gus
Welch has nominated him for a per
manent berth. Zaepfel weighs only
155, which Is about what Crip Toomey
of California weighs, but like Toomey
he is a wizard at picking holes in an
opposing line and getting through
for yardage, despite his lack of
poundage. Like Toomey. also, he is
a demon in an open field.
Baepfel, moreover, gives promise of
becoming one of the greatest punters
on the coast. He is outbooting Eldon
Jenne right now in practice, and the
man who can do that must have
something behind the swing of his
foot, for Jenne is a 50-yard punter.
Welch has been experimenting of
late with Moe Sax at left half. Sax
may play there against California in
the second half, but Zaepfel is pretty
sure to start In the position.
A lot has been written about Andy
Smith, the California coach, and his
Ill-American football record at Penn
sylvania, and not much has been said
about the. playing record of Gus
Welch, the Washington State mentor.
But Wc4rh in his college days was
one of the sensational quarterbacks
of the country. Welch is a Chippewa
Indian and played at Carlisle in the
famous old football days of the In
dian school, in the period from 1910
to 1914. One of his team-mates was
Jim Thorpe.
Sometimes . when the coasT"confer
ence colleges complain about heavy
schedules. Welch has to laugh right
out in meeting. None of the teams
plays more than four conference
games and few of them schedule
more than eight games all told Cali
fornia and Oregon Agricultural col
lege being exceptions this season,
with nine apiece. When Welch played
at Carlisle, the Indians never had
fewer than 13 games on their sched
ule, and one year, in 1913. they had
14. Against such teams as the army.
Harvard. Pennsylvania and other
leaders, too. Nor did they have the
two and three full teams to pick from
that several of the conference col
leges boast. The Carlisle regular
squad seldom contained more than 14
or 15 players. No wonder Welch
laughs.
Welch learned his football under
the old master, Glenn Warner, now at
Pittsburg, from whom Lonestar Deitx
also gained his start. Consequently
the Washington State style now Is
about the same as when Deitz left.
The Influence of Deitz on Pacific
coast foolball. incidentally, has been
enormous. Most of the plays now in
vogue are Deitx plays or variations
of them. It was he who brought the
direct pass to the coast.
Betting on the game has been light
so far. but with the odds favoring
California. One bet that has had
some takers gives Washington State
nine points. That is to say, if Califor
nia should win by ar margin of nine
points or less, the Washington Staters
take the money.
Vancouver Fans to Go to Game.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 26.
(Special.) While It is not believed
probable that a special car of root
ers can be taken to Chehalls for the
Vancouver-Chehalis High school
championship game next Friday, it
is certain that 100 fans will be pres
ent when the game starts. Several
autobus loads of high school students
will accompany the team, while many
of the business men have announced
their intention of driving to the
game. Many probably will find time
to make the trip by train. i

OF CAST-
SAVER FOR MISHKIND
Farren's Mallet-Lke Blows
Bounce Off Him.
REFEREE CALLS IT DRAW
Johnny Trambitas Put Out of Ring
in Seml-Wlndup for Stalling
and Refusing to Fight.
Referee Gruman called the 10-round
fight between Frankie Farren of San
Francisco and Abe Mishklnd of Salt
Lake at the Heillg theater last night,
a draw. Farren, either won or had a
shade in six of the 10 rounds, three
were even and Mishkind won one.
While it was not a sensational fight,
the melee was interesting, and both
boys punched- hard and often. Most
of the fighting was at close quarters.
Farren's punches carried plenty of
team behind them and- his right hand
worked like a piston, but Mtshklnd's
sturdy chin also was on the Job. Far
ren landed square on the side of Abe's
chinnany times in the 10 rounds, but
couldn't flatten the Salt Lake youth.
Frankie did haVfe him on queer street
several times, but Mish-kinc? always
pulled himself together and came
back fighting, as he did against Joe
Gorman.
. Mishkind was not subjected to the
beating he took from Gorman several
weeks ago, but he took plenty. And
Farren was on the receiving end' of
many rips and hooks to tjie body.
Farren Has Two Real Hounds.
The San Francisco scrapper showed
to best advantage in the sixth and
eighth rounds. In those two hehad
Mishkind on the go.
Many expected Farren to polish off
Mishkrnd in-a couple of rounds and
naturally were disappointed.
The elx-round eeml-final between
Joe Harrahan of Seattle and Johnny
Trambitas of Portland was stopped in
the fifth round and awarded to Har
rahan by Referee Gruman. Gruman
said that Trambitas was not trying
to fight. The fans were solid with
Gruman's action.
Freddie Williams of Boston slugged
and boxed his way to a six-round de
vision over Nell Zimmerman of Port
landA The fight was about even up
throughout, with both doing a lot of
pitching and catching-. Williams
started with spirit In the first round
but when Neil began to land in about
the third canto Freddie slowed up a
bit. It was a good fight.
De Pinto Flaaby Boxer.
Mike De Pinto outboxed George
Bran-don three out of four rounds, but
some solid punches that George land
ed impressed enough to earn him a
draw. At punching Brandon was
there, but he didn't land on the shift
ing, bobbing De Pinto very often.
The second round was a tryincr one
for Mike. Brandon shot over a right
flush to his chin that sagged the
youngster. But Mike hung on' and
finished te-trong.
The first, third and fourth rounds
found De Pinto stepping fast.
Carl Martin won a four-round de
cision over Frankie Warrens in the
curtain-raiser.
It was announced that Sergeant
Ray Smith will meet Frank Farmer of
Tacoma in the main event of next
Wednesday night's card at Mllwaukie.

WASHINGTON WINS
ON GAME'S BREAKS
Commerce Puts Up Noble
,Fight, but Loses, 13-0.
GRID STRUGGLE IS GRIM
Winners Make Yardage Less Times
Than Losers, but Luck of the
Contest Is Theirs.
If Washington high figured that
the game with Commerce on Multno
mah field yesterday was to be only
a practice muss. It was a bad mis
take. The East Slders defeated Com
merce, 13 to 0. but only after a grim
struggle, in which Commerce out
played Washington most of the time.
In fact. Washington, made yardage
only three or four times in the entire
game, while Commerce registered first
downs six times. The Stenographers
gave Washington an awful smearing
the first quarter. The ball wasn't in
Commerce territory at all save for
one point that rolled over the 60-yard
line. Although Washirfgton was un
able to do anything through the Com
merce line In the first half. Commerce
in turn found It tough picking to
break through. However, Mix Grider
was good for yardage three times
around end. j
Wmklniloa Ceta Breaks.
Washington got every break of the
day. Her first touchdown came in the
second quarter. Washington was
forced to punt. The ball hit the ground
and, bouncing high, looked certain
to careen across the Commerce goal
line. Seeing this, the Commerce back
made no effort to touch it. But in
stead of going over the goal, when
it hit the five-yard line the ball
veered offside out of bounds. Kep
pinger tried to punt out of danger
from behind his own goal line, but
a bad pass from the center gummed
the play.
Keppingeir grabbed the ball too late
to kick and tried to run it out. A
Washington lineman hit him Just as
he reached the goal line, and he fum
bled, a Washington man falling on
the ball. Morrison carried it over on
first down. Brooks missed the try for
goal.
Washington scored its second touch
down In- the third quarter. A beautiful
pass, Morrison to Espey, turned the
trick. The ball soared about 25 yard's
and Espey went ten more and across
the line. Brooks kicked goal.
Commerce Eleven Stronit.
At no other time did Washington
have a bit the better of the going.
The Commerce eleven smeared up her
playa and held time and again. Morri
son's punts were a boon to Washing
ton the first half.
Commerce had two excellent chances
to score in the first period. In one
instance, on an attempted forward
pass the ball glanced off Heeling's
shoulder, though had he turned he
could easily have nabbed it and gone
for a touchdown. A few minutes later
Marcus Schneiderman tried a place
kick from the 35-yard line. He booted
far enough, but low. A Washington
back caught the oval behind his own
goal line and made the mistake of
throwing it out in the field.
Instead of picking It up, as It was
a live ball, the Commerce players
watched it roll before one of them
realised that the ball was still in play
and dived for it. By that time Wash
ington was in the scramble and re
covered. Mix Grider Star.
Mix Grider played a fine game at
left half for Commerce. He shone both
on the defense and offense. His sure
tackling slowed up many a Washing
ton back behind his line of scrim
mage. The game was a real fight,
and had Commerce had a few of the
breaks that went to Washington the
latter's championship aspirations
might have gone to naught.
Commerce was outweighed and
lacked subs, but that did not prevent
the team from Riving Washington a
grand surprise. Washington's weight
began to tell the final quarter. A
series of forward passes netted gains,
but even then the colonials could not
score. The summary:
Washington (13.) Commerce (0.)

Gill. Summers. Richert and Simon,
half-backs, and Powell and Tousey,
fullbacks.
When leaving Corvallis Coach
Rutherford paid that everything was
against the Aggies. Stanford will
have the benefit of being used to the
climate, playing on their own turf
field, while Coach Rutherford's men
will not be used to a turf field and
will be handicapped by the long trip.
He also said that Stanford kept at
least four of her best men out of the
Pacific fleet men. and played only
straight football, suffering the defeat
in order to hand a surprise to O. A.
C. and California.
Stanford outweighs the Aggies ten
pounds to the man.
The team will be working under the
disadvantage of not having been able
to take more men on the trip. Due
to the limit placed on the squad it
was necessary to leave Hagerdorn,
Garber and Johnson, backfleld men.

The team was in excellent condi
tion but it Is doubtful If any risk will
be taken with Summers or Powell
unless necessary to win the game. On
account of injuries these men re
ceived earlier in the season Coach
Rutherford will not risk getting them
smashed up before the Washington
state game.

Columbus, O.. tonight wa awarded
the judges' decision after a slashing
12-round bout with Joe Lynch, ex

It was Lynch's first fight since his

used his left to advantage and won
eight rounds. Lynch had the better
of two and honors were even in the
other two. The fighting was fast.
Lynch pushed O'Dowd to the floor
In the fifth round. O'Dowd took the
count of nine and then came back at
Lynch bo furiously that he had him
groggy at the bell. In the sixth
round O'Dowd had Lynch neaH a
knockout after two hard rights to
the Jaw, Lynch staggering to his
corner when the bell rang.
In the last three rounds Lynch tried
to stage a comeback, but O'Dowd
jabbed him at will and prevented any
rally. O'Dowd weighed in at 118
pounds and Lynch at 122.
Cougars Invited to Play Fleet.
SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Oct. 28. V. C.
Lewis, secretary of the Coronado
chamber of commerce, announced to
day that the Pacific fleet and the
Washington State college elevens had
been invited to play a football game
at the Coronado polo grounds Decem
ber 10 or 17.
Sport News in Brief,
It was only seven years ago when the
girl who could swim 6t yards in about 88
seconds was a remarkable swimmer. Two
years later a mark of 81 seconds was con
sidered championship class snd the girl
who a year after that could do 85 seconds
was one of the speediest In the country.
Since then girls' speed swimming baa
Improved fast. Four years ago such star
as Olga Dorfner, Claire Galllgan and
Prances Cowells began tapping the 30
second mark, and they were the best in
the country; .but today several girls not
only swim 80 seconds consistently, but
break it, while as recently as May of this
j ear Ethelda Blelbtrey broke the long
standing world mark of 20 seconds made
by Fanny purack of Australia. America Is
now supreme In girl swimming, and it all
hss been accomplished In seven years.
The girl today wo can swim around 40
as her sisters did seven years ago Is not
good enough for competition, and when In
t.ational championships the girls who
swum 83 seconds a couple of years ago
are outclassed.
Robert Simpson, golf professional of the
Coronado Country club, a few days ago
added fre.h honors to his long list. The
links at Coronado are all grans and Simp
son turned in a score of 00 for the 18
holes, a record for the Coronado links.
Or. the firm nine holes Simpson made it
In 31, ss against the 80 par for the course.
His performance Is considered one of the
most phenomenal ever made Jn southern
California.

Chicago has difcovered a new prospec
tive heavyweight boxing champion. He is
an amateur boxer named Bob Marshall,
who stands 0 feet 4 Inches and strips at
?10 pounds. At present he Is slmon pure
amateur, but many of his friends urge
him to blossom out among the profes
sionals. Here Is une from a country town In
Texas: A runner on first wss followed
by a batter who was lucky to hit a homer
over the fence. The runner on first bae
frrgot to touch second. He remembered
after he had crossed the plate that he
had not touched second base and, run
ning the reverse way of the bases, went
hark to second, touched It. then touched
third and scored. The umpire (lid not
call him out. although he scored after
the man who had batted the home run.
There have been six fights In HiIm village
since it happened, and If a decision If n't
reached soon there is danger of a neigh
borhood fei'd.

PULLMAN MP SHIFTED
WfcLCIC DISSATISFIKD WITH
SHOWING AGAINST IDAHO.
Team Is Put Through Last Hard
Workout Prior to Game With
University of California.
WASH! 0G TOX STATE COLLEOE.
Pullman, Oct. 25. (Special.) Cougar
football men have gone through their
last real workout prior to the game
with California, Coach Welch an
nounced today. Practice tonight and
tomorrow consists of mock scrim
mage and defensive work against the
Bears' known methods of attack.
Welch's dissatisfaction with the 20-to-3
showing analnst Idaho mani
fested Itself yesterday when Zaepfel
replaced Sax at left half. Hickey took
left end, sending Bohanon to the other
extremity of the line, and Hanley
was benched. -Mclvor was put in at
quarter and Skadan assigned to the
second team.
The entire squad Is in good condi
tion, except llanley. right end, who
has a bad knee. There is no sign of
the strife which wrecked the team
before the California game last vear.
but in Its place is a determination to
show that 49-to-o defeat to have been
due to causes other than lack of foot
ball ability.
Welch is drilling his men to play
straight football against the Rears
and forward passes probably will not
be used as frequently as against Idaho
and Gonzaga. To date the Cougar
aerial attack has not been up to ex
pectation. Against California, espe
cially, the line will be used to open
holes for the backfleld. rather than
run the risk of having" forward passes
intercepted.
WHITMAX ELEVEX DEFECTIVE
Game With College of Idaho Rrlngs
Out Glaring Weak Spots.
WHITMAN' COLLKGR. Walla Walla
Wash.. Oct. 26. (Special.) The
Whitman-College of Idaho football
game Saturday brought out aome bad
defects in Whitmans play.
Although Whitman woii, 17-13, the
maize and blue did not show the
class exhibited In previous games and
was notably lacking in fight. The
College of Idaho team, well coached
by Anson Cornell, ex-Unlverslty of
Oregon player, put up a scrappy
game.
The Montana game Saturday is
much feared. That Montana, with
her Minnesota ehift, may not be a
surprise to the Missionaries. Coach
Horleske has had the scrubs use the
formation agalnat the varsity this
week.
Following the Montana game at
Missoula Saturday, Whitman will
meet the Willamette university
eleven at Whitman November 11.
