Cougar Attack and Defense Used

LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 9. (Special.)
Joe Kasberger looks like the find of
the year a a punter. When the ball
is seen sailing 60 yards down the
field In practice and as high as it is
far, it can be relied upon that Kas
berger has Just punted it.
The discovery of Kasberger's skill
comes at a critical time, for It looks
as If Miller, the regular kicker, will
not be able to play Friday in the
critical game against Washington
State. Even If he does start, he will
be in no condition to punt, so that
puts it up to Kasberger. and the Aggie
quarter says he is ready. The place
kicking and kick-offs will be handled
by Captain Powell or McFadden.
The left side of the Aggie line has
been so weak that the rooks in scrim
mage have been making yard after
yard through it. Unless sometning
can be done to strengthen there, the
Aggies are in for a tough day from
the line-smashing Cougar machine.
Winnie, substitute fullback, was in
jured again Monday night and is out
for the season. This may mean that
Harold HcKenna will be used against
Washington State at fullback to re
lieve Cap I'owell. But Powell is go
ing good and. from all Indications,
will put up bis best game of the sea
son. Secret practice will continue until
tomorrow night. Coach Rutherford
wants this game. He is using the
Cougar attack and defense against
the varsity so the men will Be
familiar with the style used by Coach
Welch.
Richert Is practicing at right and
seems to be going good, though he
lacks experience. Rutherford will
have Loughrey and Taggart to fall
back on in case Richert cannot get
Into shape in time for the game.
A record crowd is expected by James
J. Richardson, general manager of
student affairs at the college. Many
of the best seats have been sold and
reports from Portland Indicate that
they are in big demand. The game
will open at 2:45 o'clock Friday,
Armistice day. The railroads are giv
ing special round-trip rates.
A large delegation is expected from
Kugene. Many university students
have sent word that they are coming
over to root for the Aggies and have
asked for reservations in the O. A. C.
section. Coach Huntington and the
Oregon varsity squad probably will
attend to watch the Oregon Aggie
system of playing.
Muny former varsity men will also
be present to see the game and take
part In the parade and Beaver feed.
The field will accommodate 13,000
comfortably with seats.
COUGAFI BACKS TO CHANGE
WELCH IS DISSATISFIED WITH
OFFENSIVE.
Practice Consists Mostly of De
fensive Work to Ofrset Aggies'
Most IiiiKrtant Plays.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman, Nov. 9. (Special.) When
the Cougars take the field at Cor
vallis Friday against the Oregon Ag
gies it will be with several drastic
changes in the backfleld. In skull
practice this morning Coach Welch
made very plain his dissatisfaction
with the Washington State offensive
in the past two games, but did not
ay which men would be changed.
Practice this week has consisted
entirely of defensive work to offset
the Aggies' Important plays. To keep
the men in good condition, there has
been no actual scrimmage. Welch
feels conildnt that his men have
everything necessary except fight, and
this week he is trying to tir them
up.
Welch blames the student body
more than the team for the showing
made against Oregon. For a week
before the game practically every
student in school kept expressing th,
belief that Oregon would be beaten
by 20 points at least. All this talk
had its effect on tho men. declares
Welch, who says he would be con
tent to win every game by a single
point. Incidentally, he remarked that
the Cougars were lucky not to be
beaten by Oregon.
The team starts tonight for Al
bany, where they will make their
headquarters, practicing in Corvallis
Friday afternoon. Twenty men are
making the trip.

1922 OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
COAST SEASOX LENGTHENED
$20,000 BOXCS VOTED.
Directors Complete Two-Day Ses
sion at Los Angeles Scouts
of Majors Cause Protest.
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 9. Baseball
prospects are splendid for the 1922
season, promising a better season
than any ever held on the. Pacific
coast, it was declared tonight by Will
lam H. McCarthy, president of the
Pacific Coast Baseball league. He
commented on the meeting of directors,
closed here today after a two-day ses
sion. Just prior to departure of the
directors tonight for San Francisco.
The directors today voted to estab
lish a (20,000 purse to be divided
among the first seven clubs in the
final standing each season. It was
also agreed to give the Sacramento
team a five-year guarantee of 45 per
cent of gate receipts while playing
away from home.
"It was a constructive thing for
baseball, a fine thing for the Pacific
coast, to arrange this cash bonus
plan," said President McCarthy. "It
will mean faster and better baseball.
It will be an incentive to the indi
vidual players to put their best into
the game, tt will do much for base
ball." President McCarthy also commented
upon the decision t award Sacra
mento a five-year guaranty of 45 per
cent and Sacramento's agreement to
build a baseball park of 12,000 seat
ing capacity as another stride In de
velopment of Pacific coast baseball.
Another agreement was to extend
the playing season to 28 weeks If
a satisfactory arrangement could be
made - to secure Insurance covering
the opening and closing weeks. This
plan calls for the opening of the sea
son on April 4. The directors ad
journed to meet in San Francisco
early in January, when final action
will be taken on this proposition.
President McCarthy said he had
telegraphed to Judge Landls, base
ball commissioner, requesting him to
put a stop to major league scouts
dealing directly with players sought
In the minor leagues. McCarthy said
he had called attention to several al
leged infractions of baseball law in
this respect and expected Judge Lan
dis would instruct major league own
ers to seek recruits through the own
ers in the smaller circuits. The purse
to be divided at the end of the season
will be provided by a contribution of
S2500 by each of the eight clubs. It
was announced.
The division by teams will be as
follows:
First, MX0; second. 140OO; third,
$3000; fourth, 12500; fifth, 12000; sixth,
S1500; seventh, $1000.
Ail players who play from the start
of the season to September 1 will
share in their club's part of the purse.
The president of the league was
authorized to decide what share
should be allotted to players joining
after the opening.
A tentative schedule for the first
four weeks of the 1922 season was
agreed upon, subject to adoption of
April 4, as the opening date, as fol

ROOKS EXPECT HARDEST GAME
Aggie Team Figures That Oregon
Should Repeat Win of Last Year.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. Nov. 9. (Special.)
Coach Hubbara, football mentor of
the freshman squad, will have the
hardest game of the year when his
yearlings buck up against the Oregon
freshman team Saturday, the day
after the Washington State-Aggie
game.
Last year the Oregon babies gave
the rooks a real trimming. By com
parative scores the Oregon freshmen
ought to repeat now and win by two
touchdowns. ,
The O. A. C. rooks have a strong
line, but are weajc on forward passing
and end runs.
Three-Cushion Espert to Play.
P. E. Maupome, one of the leading
three-cushion billiard players of this
country, will appear at the Rialto In
a three-day exhibition November 21,
22 and 23. Maupome tied for fourth
place in the national tournament this
year.
Sport News in Brief.
Major Collin O. Roes, secretary of the
Cnronado Country club polo team is ar
ranging for the opening of the polo sea
eon Januury 1 on the club polo field.
The programme will give the southern
California tenia two games a week from
January 1 to April 1. The American Polo
association has sanctioned the annual club
tournament for .March 1 to 0. In this
series the Pacific 'coast Junior champion
ship will be decided as well as the Cali
fornia challenge series and the Pacific
coast all-American. Major Ross Is en
deavoring to have one or two eastern
teams come out for tbe three months'
play, and there Is also a possibility that
a team from Hawaii may participate.
Golf at Coronado will start at the same
time as polo. Several special events are
being arranged, the most Important being
the Coronado championship for men. Feb
ruary 20 to 24, and the women's champion
ship. February 27 to March 3.
That the great showing of the Univer
sity of California eight-oared crew in the
east has been productive of support in
the university Itself, is best shown by the
fact that when Coach Ben Wallis gave
the call for full training more than 90
varsity aspirants and about 60 freshmen
reported. This Is the largest fall training
squad ever known at California.
Unlike eastern colleges, the Pacific
coast colleges never get men with previous
rowing experience. Whatever ability
California. Stanford and Washington men
show, ihcy have learned in tbeir college
rowing days. In the east more college
oarsmen have had experience on high
school crews or at private schools. Last
year the Alameda high school took up
rowing for the first time In Its history
and made a good showing against Cali
fornia freshmen. That has evidently been
the slgasl for other schools, as Fremont
high of Oakland has now asked the uni
te. slty to assist in boating an eight
oared crew to race Alameda for the
Pacific coast scholastic championship in
That m.Ais that eventually the
colleges will get boys with acholastlo row
ing experience and when that happens
there will be more and better material.

AGGIE COACH PEDDLING BEAR
STUFF ELEVEN MUST BE 0. K.
Good Deal Depends Upon Game of Beavers Tomorrow, Armistice Day,
With Washington State at Corvallis.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
nHB surest sign that a team is
I feeling pretty good for a big
game is to have its coach begin
to peddle bear stuff. That's what Dick
Rutherford is doing at Corvallis right
now, so the Aggies must be all ready
to go against Washington State to
morrow. If half Rutherford's chatter to the
college correspondents were true, ho
would have to tie his players together
to keep them in the game at all. No
punter, so tackles, no backfleld, no
nothing all of which sounds Just as
if they were showing so much In prac
tice that the coach Is afraid to let
them know how good they look.
Gus Welch of Washington State
never pulls the bear stuff, so It's hard
to get a line on his team. If Gus had
nine men out with broken legs, he
wouldn't say a word about it before
the game. But the chances are that
Washington State is in pretty good
shape, too, for last Saturday's 7-to-7
game against Oregon, though a hard
one. wasn't rough. If the Cougars
play against the Aggies as they did
against California, the Aggies will
have to go some to spill them.
A good deal depends on whih team
wins at Corvallis tomorrow. If Wash
ington State does it. that gives her a
good grip on the northwest cham
pionship, always provided, of course,
that the Cougars then beat the Uni
versity of Washington in their
Thanksgiving day game at Seattle.
If the Aggies win, then that gives
them the same kind of a grip, provid
ed only that they win from Oregon at
Eugene the following Saturday, and
that looks like one tough assignment.
Remember, this Washington State
Oregon Aggies game is tomorrow,
Friday, Armistice day, not Saturday.
A good many folks have their dates
mixed on it. The reason it is played
Friday instead of the usual Saturday
is to fit in with the Armistice day
celebration at Corvallis. Both the
Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric
railroads have granted a special one
arrd one-half single way fare rate for
the round trip.

GAME WITH 1YHIT5IAX ASKED

St. Mary's held the University of
California to a 21-0 score this fall, and
lost to Stanford only 10 to 7. Owing

"Dr. Neill used to play In tbe north

remarks Miller. "Maybe Columbia or
Washington high would be interested
in his message." Those schools may
Judge for themselves. Here is the
letter:
"Just had a talk with our foot
ball manager, and he asked me to
write someone in Portland and find
out what chances there would be for
playing a post-season football game
with the champion high school team
of that city somewhere around Decem
ber 1. We aiready have planned to
play Pasadena. Cal., but would like
to carry more men than that game
would finance for us.
"If you have any good teams in
Portland this year I believe a post
season game with us would be a good
proposition. We played Everett, Wash.,
in 1919. Our team this year is by
far the beet we have had In five
years. We have played seven teams
so far and have not been scored on.
We hope to win the remainder of our
games, and If so will be the leading
eastern high school team, because we
have eliminated ail the best teams in
the east except Cleveland and Boston,
which we play in the next two weeks."
Bill Klepper announces from Cali
fornia that the Beavers will do their
training at Pasadena next spring, so
that much is settled. Klepper was
figuring on Pasadena before he left
Portland to attend the Coast league
meeting. He likes it for several rea
sons, among others that it will be
easy to arrange plenty of good prac
tice games that will draw a gate and
thus pay a sizeable chunk of the
training expenses.
Last season at Santa Maria, which
is a fine little town but out of the
way, it was hard to get practice
games. The only way McCredie could
get any competition was to bring the
Colored Giants there for several days
at a time. But at Pasadena, plenty
of good teams will be handy for
games at any old time, with the
Chicago Cubs as Saturday and Sun
day attractions.
The Cubs trained at Pasadena last
spring, incidentally, but this season
they will work out on Catalina island,
which William Wrigley. the Cub
owner and chewing-gum magnate,
owns. However. Bill likes his train
ing camp receipts as well as any man
living, so there isn't a doubt that the
Cubs will be over on the mainland
every week-end bringing In a little
cash for the exchecquer.
TEIIS BUND DRAW
AGAIN MOOT TOPIC
Net Experts of Portland Di
vided in Opinion.
GOSS LIKELY TO VOTE NO
Pacific Northwest Delegate to Na
tional Association Stands Op
posed to Seeded Plan.
The "blind draw" in tennis is again
up for discussion througb the an
nouncement that the United States
Lawn Tennis association at Its ses
sion in December will consider the
abandonment of the "blind draw"
method of selecting opponents in
lou-naments. Each year this ques
tion has come before the association,
but the "blind draw" has always won
cut.
In both the men and women's na
tional championships this year the
tuck of the draw brought the highest
ranking players together in the pre
liminary rounds of the tournament,
which deprived the gallery of a bril
liant finish to the tournaments in
which the leading players might
have met in the finals. This perhaps
Is the chief reason why the agitation
for a change In the draw has started
fcgain.
Local Opinion Divided.
Opinion as to the "blind draw"
versus the "seeded draw" is divided
ammg Portland's leading tennis play
ers and tennis officials.
Walter A. Goss, Pacific northwest
sectional delegate to the United
'States Tennis association, who will be
called to vote yes or no on the ques
tion at the December meeting, will in
all probability vote no. Mr. Goss,
who has done more, perhaps, than any
otner player in Portland or the north
west to develop new talent, is op
posed to the "seeded draw" on the
ground that it would tend to hold
back the promising young players
Just breaking into tournament play.
From a commercial aspect and to
please the gallery the "seeded draw"
is better, according to Mr. Goss, for
it means that the four or eight rank
ing players are so placed in the up
per and lower brackets that they meet
in the semi-finals and the two best
then go Into the finals. This assures
large galleries in the last stages of
the tournament and large galieries
mean more money at the gate.
"Considered from a, sportsmanship
standpoint," declared Mr. Goss, "the
draw should be left as it is, with
every entry taking his chance on the
luck of the draw."
Seeded Draw Favored.
H. S. Gray, an official of the Pa
cific Northwest Lawn Tennis asso
ciation and chairman of the tourna
ment committee of the Multnomah
club, strongly favors the "seeded
draw."
"There have been too many in
stances where the semi-finals and
finals have not been up to the ex
pectations of the gallery, despite the
fact that the entry list nas been
filled with brilliant players," said
Mr. Gray. "I favor the 'seeded draw'
for not only the national tournaments,
but for the state and ranking tourna
ments as well.
"In a tournament where there were
no more than 64 entries I would
select the four ranking players. The
other players would be grouped In
four divisions with one of the four
seeded players placed in each group,
and in this way work down to the
semi-finals."
Commercial Basis Disliked.
A. B. McAlpin. one of the veteran
'ennis player of Portland, who has
been connected with the sport here
for many yeais, wculd lejve the driv
as it k: Athletes must take their
chances in other branches of sport,
where one of the leading contest
ants may be eliminated 'n the early
stages of the competition, so why not
jn tennis, asks Mr. McAlptn. He
also realizes that from a commercial
point of view it would ie tetter for
thn box office If it coul-i be ar
ranged to have the ranking players
meet in the finals, but does not favor
putting the sucit on a commercial
bit sis.
T. Morris Dunne, another Portland
tennis enthusiast who has had much
experience in handling tournaments,
sides with Mr. Goss and Mr. McAlpin
in favoring the present "blind draw"
system.

mercial salmon and the other" will be

Game Warden Burghduff and
George H. Kelly, member of the com
mission, who visited the site re
cently, said the new plant will have
a capacity of several million trout,
which can be transported to the lakes
in this portion of the state with little
difficulty and with a minimum loss,
as the distance from the hatchery will
not be great.
Charles Hills, superintendent of the
hatchery grounds, is now preparing

lode to the bead of one of the isl
ands. He began shooting with a high
rowered rifle at geese on the island,
Mr. Hufford charges. Warden Huf
ford will take his prisoner to Gold

SCNDODGERS EN ROUTE SOUTH
Coach, Manager, 21 Players Pass
Through Portland on Way.
Coach Bagshaw. Graduate lanager
aieisnest and Zl players or the uni
versity of . Washington football team
passed through Portland last night in
a private car en route to Berkeley,
Cal., where Washington plays the
University of California Saturday.
Earlier in the year Washington
would have been easy meat for Cali
fornia, but after the way Baggy's men
bucked up against Stanford Saturday,
anything might happen. Of course
nobody expects Washington to beat
the Bears this time, but there is every
chance that they may put up so good
a game as to surprise tbeir most en
thusiastic friends.
Even Baggy admits he has no hunch
on this game. Before the Stanford
contest, he pepped up his players to
herculean efforts by springing on
them a sudden "hunch" to the effect
that Stanford, so greatly feared,
wouldn't amount to much. And so it
proved. The Cardinals were lucky to
hold the score to 0 to 0.
While In California Graduate Man
ager Meisnest will visit the new Stan
ford stadium and arrange for a California-Washington
crew race. He will
also address the Washington alumni
association in San Francisco. Meis
r.est. incidentally, is a great admirer
of the Multnomah club and says the
club will be missing a big bet if It
doesn't carry out its projected sta
dium plan. Meisnest is the original
stadium man in the Pacific north
west. He put over the big Washing
ton stadium at Seattle by sheer force
of personality when nobody thought
he had a chance. Now the whole uni
versity is tickled to death that he
had the vision to go ahead and build
it,

Last Round of Go With Ca-
pelli Is Humdinger.
FIRST CANTOS ARE TAME
Tenth Finds. Pickles Jumping
About Like Eros, but Willie
Keeps Plugging at His Foe.
BY DICK SHARP.
The last round was worth the
money. Pickles Martin of San Fran
cisco and Willie Capelll of Los An
geles went ten rounds in the main
event at the armory last night. The
final canto was one the boys will talk
about for a long time. Referee Gru
rran raised Martin's hand in token of
victory when the bell clanged for
time.
It was a close battle throughout.
Capelll did most of the forcing and
landed many punches, but Martin's
style appealed to the fans and the ref
eree, so Pickles copped the verdict.
Fistic followers had heard a lot
about Martin as a pocket, edition of
Willie Meehan. and so forth. As the
two lightweights labored through the
slugging bee these boys wondered
where anyone got that stuff about
Martin as a clown. They found out
in the tenth.
Martin fought as any boxer might
until that session. Then Pickles came
out of his corner with a rush and be
gan to leap around like a frog. Ca
pelll caught him in the air and the
battle was on. They stood toe to toe
for almost a minute, whaling away
at each other. Then some more Mee
han fireworks on Martin's part. Ca
pelll rushed him around the ring,
swinging both hands. Elusive mostly,
Pickles part of the time took some
stiff ones on the chops and chin.
First Rounds Tame.
The -first few rounds were nothing
exceptional. Capelll started the real
offensive In the sixth when he backed
Martin into the ropes and brought
both hands into play. From the sixth
on the fight was as good as any main
go here, of late. Martin hit Capelll
flush on the chin with h.s right mitt
but Willie never budged. The only
time the Los Angeles Doy slowed up
was for a breath in the tenth after a
sensational rally. Both were tired at
'.he finish. Martin can deliver with
both hands1 with a snap.
Both boxers took the tight without
a chance to do much training, Martin
in particular, as he had but three
days' notice.
Archie Stoy beat Young Sam Lang
ford In the six-round semi-final. Stoy
began an early attack on Young Sam's
solar plexus and soon had the dusky
hued battler on the defensive. Lang
ford rallied the last two rounds but
Stoy was BtlU there and coming and
was never headed long. Most of the
fighting was done in the clinches.
Stoy nearly knocked over Sam with
a right to the chin in the fourth
round.
Lans; Wins on Foul.
Frankle Britt of Tacoma won a
close six-rounder over Jimmy Cole of
Cincinnati. It was a fast fight with
plenty of punching. Britt was the
aggressor but found Cole a smart op
ponent. Billy Lang of Seattle won on a foul
over Jack Rose of Denver in the sec
ond round of a scheduled four-round
match. Rose unintentionally butted
Lang practically knocking the latter
out. as he was unable to continue.
Two of Lang's front teeth were
knocked out. The Seattle boy had the
better of the fight up to the ending.
Charley Helman beat George
Welch In the four-round curtain
