Coach Rutherford Predicts
Victory Over Oregon.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallls. Nov. 15. (Special.)
"The Oregon Angles will win from
Oregon at Eugene Saturday," said
Coach Rutherford today.
This Is the first time this season
that Rutherford would venture so
much as a guess on the outcome of
any game. Whether he believes that
the 7-to-3 defeat by Washington State
will put his men In fighting trim or
whether he will use a new system
against O. A. C.'s ancient foe, ho
would not say. But he asserted
flatly that the Aggies would win.
Oregon has the edge over the Ag
gies on comparative scores In their
respective games against Washington
State. If the Aggies use the same
style of football against Oregon as
they did against Washington State
it is doubtful if they can win.
Men In Good Shape.
On the other hand, every man is in
excellent condition. The team will
be Intact and every man is mad all
through and rarin to go
Almost the entire student body will
see the game and root for the team.
Special train have been scheduled
The military department will provide
transportation for 500 students, in
cluding a 60-piece band, and the
others will go In auto parties. De
spite two defeats in a row, spirit is
running high and the team will have
the enthusiastic support of the stu
dent body.
Coach Rutherford has not def
initely announced ti lineup, but it
w. II almost certainly Include Stewart
at center; Chrlstenson and Heyden,

I REMEMBER f I
BEARS SO SPEEDY BAGSHAW
CANT HELP BEING IMPRESSED
California Eleven Can Beat Any Team in the Country or in the World,
Asserts Coach of University of Washington.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
ENOCH BAGSHAW, University of
Washington coach, says Andy
Smith at California has the
greatest football team he ever saw
or ever expects to see. What im
presses Baggy so much is that the
California players are not only big,
but so tremendously fast.
"The Bears beat any team in the
country or in the world," said Baggy.
"I don't believe there Is an eleven in
the country that can stand up before
them through a game. Andy Smith
really has about three teams, end
they are a standoff in ability. He
throws one line-up at you in the first
quarter, sticks In another in the sec
ond quarter, puts back his opening
stars In the third quarter, and then
uses still another line-up in the last
quarter. That enables his team to
keep going at top speed all the time
with fresh men. and when the fourth
quarter arrives ' the other eleven is
simply all in and all through.
"I have no alibis to offer about that
72 to 3 slaughter at Berkeley. Our
boys were 15 to 20 pounds lighter
than California to begin with and
those fast, heavy men simply out
classed them. But I haven't words to
express the admiration I feel for our
boys who, hopelessly snowed under,
never knuckled down for one mo
ment. They were fighting Just as
hard the last quarter as they were
the first, and believe me, that means
a lot. Twice In that last quarter they
held California for downs in front of
the goal line. That shows how hard
they were fighting." ,
Baggy Sfade these remarks while
he. Graduate Manager. Melsnest and
the Washington players were in Fort
land for a few hours Monday night on
their way home from Berkeley.
Baggy wasn't one whit discouraged
by his defeat and neither were his
players. Jt would be too much to
expect that light Washington eleven
to stop Washington State In their big
game at Seattle on Thanksgiving day,
but Baggy declares they will come
pretty near doing it. at that.
Bagshaw inherited a mighty diffi
cult situation at Washington this
year, after several years of "Jump"
Hunt and Allison and t he resultant
waning football Interest, and he has
done as well as any person has a
right to expect. They realize that at
Washington, too, and that is fortu
nate. Baggy Is mighty strong up
there and they are all looking for
ward to next year, when there may
be a different tale to tell.
No coach in the world can accom
plish anything without material, and
in these days of heavy and fast var
sity teams the coach who hasn't
heavy, fast men himself is just about
helpless. It's the old story that a
good big man is better than a good
little man every time.
Few persons realize what odd
Bagshaw has had to contend with this
season in the way of material. Even
Whitman outweighed Washington
several pounds to the man, while
Montana was ten pounds to the man
heavier In fact, his squad has been
so light In places that he hasn't
dared publish their weights, for that
would be tipping off to an opposing
coach just where to shoot his plays.
But next year he will have more of
chance. Under the able coaching of
R. L. .Mattheys. who coached Wil
lamette last year, a corking lot of
freshmen h.ve been developed. Mat
thews has had so many good fresh
men, in fact, that he has had them
divided into two teams all season and
both of them are good. A whale of
an aggregation of young fellows will
come up for the varsity next year.
Among them will be six or seven ex
Everett high gridders who learned
the game under Bagshaw and play
his style of football.
It may seem "strange that a uni
versity the size of Washington should
have so little football material for a
varsity squad that the coach has to
use light men. There Is potential
material enough in the school, no
doubt, but it is all undeveloped and
most of It is past developing. In the
sorry days of tle Dobie succession
football Interest dropped so much
that the good prospects didn't turn
out, and baggy inherited nothing; to
work on.
a a
Speaking of California, Bagshaw
says that the answer to Andy Smith's
wonderfully fast linemen is that
nearly all of them were backfield
players In their high-school days.
Andy had so much material available
that after picking out the men he
wanted fo rbacks, he would convert
these other husky backfield players
into linemen. Having played the
backfield through high school, they
were fast and knew how to handle
themselves and it then was a cinch
to make great charging linemen of
them.
"Some of those linemen actually got
down the field on punts almost as
quickly as the ends did," said Bag

that before. California right now has
something like 32 high-school cap
tains, most of whom were high-school
backfield players, in the present
freshman class."
a
Andy Smith has an ambition to de
feat Stanford 10 to 0 this time, but
Bagshaw says he never will do it. He
predicts that the score will not even
be as big as thai by which Washing
ton lost, a"d at that he thinks Wash
ington has a better eleven than Stan
ford.
He bases his opinion on the condi
tion of the new Stanford stadium
field. The new turf Is coming up
nicely, but Baggy says that there still
Is a lot of space between the grass
roots and that the fields is heavy and
will be still heavier after a couple of
football teams plow over it a few
times.
"With the field like that It will be
a physical impossibility for California
to roll up a huge score," he said. "I
con't look for anything much bigger
than 40 to 0, and maybe not that big.
As for 100 to 0, that's im-oossible."
a a
Bill Rodgers is in town. The Sacra
mento pilot got here at a mighty psy
chological moment, for, as published
In this column the other day, Prexy
Klepper Is considering him strongly
for manager of the new Beaver base
ball team if things work out so that
his first choice, Duke Kenworthy, re
mains at Seattle.
Bill says his presence here has
nothing to do with that, but he cer
tainly timed his visit Just right for
all concerned. Now he and Klepper
can talk things over and get each
other's Ideas. And If Klepper still
wonders how the people of Portland
would feel about Bill as manager, he
can find out very easily. Portland
would be strong for Bill.
Rodgers was a hustler as a ball
player and the key to his managerial
success at Sacramento, where he has
had the reins four years now, has
been "make 'em hustle." He had his
outfit hustling every moment last
year. No man on that club ever got
In bad by failing to run out a hit,
no matter how dinky a blow It might
be at least, none of the boys ever
tried it a second time.
Bill believes the fans want plenty
o? action in a ball game and that they
like a hustling team, and he is dead
right about it. Nothing kills off in
terest quicker or gets the bleachers
down on the home club faster than
for a few of the players to loaf on
hits or in the field. When a team
hustles and loses, that is one thing,
but when it loafs and loses, it gets
razzed, and it has the razz coming.
It is part of Rodgers' managerial
philosophy that a hustling ball club
gets the "breaks" and he proved that
more than once last season, when Sac
ramento was here playing the Beav
ers. At that time the Beavers were
playing pretty fair ball, too, but try
as they might, Bill and his Senators
were always beating them by one run.
Five games in one series went that
way, and one of the was a 19-innln.g
battle.. In every case It was hustling
that brought about the break which
finally switched the game to Sacra
mento. a a a
Some folks regard breaks as mere
luck, but a hustling manager like
Rodgers. who is figuring all the time
for the breaks, and keeping his ball
club on his toes to take' advantage of
them when they come, doesn't consid
er them entirely luck by any means.
The element of luck does enter into
them, of course, but it is only part of
the atory.
After all, the successful strategists
In both baseball and football follow
almost Identically the same plan of
battle. Andy Smith's University of
California football team is notorius
for the "breaks" is gets, but when its
style of play is analyzed, it's clear
enough that it creates the opportun
ities for these breaks, and when they
come is all ready to go. Just as in
that 1 to 0 game here against Wash
ington State. Andy's men resorted to
a kicking game when straight foot
ball got them nowhere, and then
when the breaks resulted, in they
went with the punch that won.
a a
'Relative to the reports that he is
through at Sacramento, Bill hasn't
much to say. Well, it Isn't necessary
for him to say much. It has been
gossip up and down the league ever
since the closing, weeks of the race
that the Senators would have a new
pilot next season and that this pilot
would be Charley Pick. After having
briXight a club up to second place in
the greatest finish the Coast league
ever had, and being beaten out at the
finish by rain at Los Angeles, at that,
this seems a trifle rough on Bill,
Still, it's baseball.
What is Sacramento's loss may eas
ily become Portland gain. If Prexy
Klepper has the chance to get Bill, ha
will make no mistake by grabbing
him while the grabbing is good.

TERS, Nov. 19. (Special.) "Our
team is In the pink and should win by
50 casualties." This was the declara
tion of Ted Trotskl and Larry Lenlne,
coaches of 'soviet university, as they
left Petrograd tonight with a squad
of 300 reds for the Island of Sap
where the international free-for-all
football championship will be settled
on Chinese New Tear's day.
The Nevski Prospect was startled
by this attitude of the coaching
staff. Only two days ago the heads of
students at dear old Soviet U. buzzed
mere than usual when Coach Trotskl
released the last of his famous Rus
sian bear stories.
"The red prospects are black for
many of our players are green and
yellow," he said at that time.
Sport writers agree that the reds
are a smooth-running machine from
the ankles down. The greatest
strength of the team lies in the
strategy of the coaches. Larry and
Ted were comrades in many a bloody
battle in their college days and have
been turning out unusual teams since
they played on the famous 1916 squad
of Pzxltzovich Univcrski. Their goal
line was never double-crossed during
the season, while they piled up a stag
gering total score of 26 bombings, 12
massacres, 187 buckets of blood and
32 throats cut from placement.

i PWOT
ILLUSTRATING THE PIVOT
BY JOCK HUTCHISON,
Only American to Win British Open
Championship.
IN A CONVERSATION with George
Duncan recently, the famous
Scotch professional who, by the
way, was the man I robbed of the
British title in Scotland this year, told
me that he considered pivoting the
whole secret of golf. He Insisted that
nothing else really mattered If the
pivoting was done properly.
I have a lot of respect for Duncan's
opinion about any golf shot. Whether
I agree with him or not his ideas are
always worth considering. I do agree
with him about the Importance of the
pivot, although I will not go so far
as to say that nothing else matters.
When George made this remark, he
was thinking more about the finished
golfer than the beginner or the duffer.
In this series I am aiming at the
"about 100" man who wants to be
"about 90." Duncan takes it for
granted that the other things lead
ing up -to the pivoting will be done
correctly
One thing is absolutely certain and
that is this: No golfer can obtain a
very long ball unless he pivots. It is
impossible to drive a ball very far
with the arms alone. Many players
do not realize that when they use
their arms alone and do not pivot it
Is really only a half shot they are
making. Naturally one could not ex
pect to get any great distance with
a half shot.
Professionals in making a half iron
shot use only their arms In order to
Insure perfect direction. They do this
because they feel they can get plenty
far enough with a half shot. This
does not mean necessarily the ball
will go only half as far as the full
shot but that a little less distance is
required. They get the desired results
without the pivot and pitting the
body Into It.
Golfers think they pivot when to
a close observer there are absolutely
no signs of It. If you hear a player
complaining about losing his drive
and not able to get the old distance
any more( ten to one he Is not pivot
ing as he used to do.
Pivot Secret of Power.
Duncan says: "Unless the left shoul
der starts going around with the club
It is all up with your golf shot."
There is absolutely no other way to
get power into the swing. Many little
fellows weighing scarcely more than
120 pounds can get a long ball and
keep up with the big fellows because
they derive their power from the
pivot. Freddie McLeod is one of these
midgets. He won a championship when
he weighed only 108 pounds. Jack
Dowling is a very-long driver and he
weighs only 118 pounds. He gets his
distance by an exaggerated pivot of
the body together with proper timing,
which, of course, must accompany the
shot, or it is a failure.
I am no giant myself. I weigh 140
season game when he slipped a moon
shine solution of arsenic In the water
bucket of the opposing eleven.
The reds are expected to use their
famous communist criss-cross play In
which every man on the team tries to
carry the ball at the same time. The
"dead man play, developed by uoacn
Lenine, will also be used in the big
game. This is the play on which the
backfield men stab their own tackles
and guards in the back, much to the
confusion of the opposing players,
who trip over the corpses.
A special coach has been added to
the reds' staff in the person of Abdul
McAbdul, noted Turkish mentor, who
will train the linesmen in mass play,
drawing on his fund of knowledge
and tactics acquired in Armenian mas
sacres, where he was a letter man for
three years.
The squad went through a light
workout yesterday in the final prac
tice session on the home field. An end
and two halfbacks were shot by a
firing squad for fumbling.

i
pounds. This would be giving a great
handicap to Walter Hagen or Jim
Barnes were It not for the pivot which
enables me to keep up with them.
Pivoting Is a gradual turning of
the body which starts almost as soon
as the clubhead leaves the ground on
the back swing. The left heel begins
to leave the ground about the same
time, swinging on the ball of the left
foot. The left knee should bend grad
ually as the heel comes up. The knee,
as I explain in a previous article,
should point to the teed ball, and not
screwed in toward the right leg, which
Is very bad form.
There are three things that I think
all-important in the pivot. First: The
position of the left knee; second, the
left shoulder, and third, the left hip.
At the top of the swing, one shoulo
be looking down at the ball over the
left shoulder. The knee, the hip and
the shoulder will be almost In one
straight line. In this position you are
wound up as'tight as possible. The
weight of the body will be mostly on
the right leg, and this leg Is as
straight as possible, but not so
straight as to suggest stiffness.
How to Ran the Shot.
When one feels comfortable at the
top of the swing and feels that there
is no doubt about hitting the ball, the
pivot has been made correctly. If not
done correctly, a player is tempted to
make things right by forcing the right
shoulder into the shot. The left shoul
der is the leader and should take the
initiative. The' mistake of whipping
the right shoulder in too soon will
cause all Itlnds of trouble. This means
usually getting the body into the shot
before the club has been permitted to
do its work.
It Is easier to pivot from a square
stance than an open one. but there
are golfers who pivot with an open
stance and do it so gracefully that It
looks like the easiest thing imagin
able. Abe Mitchell is one of these
players. Abe gets his distance largely
from his remarkable pivoting.
The unwinding movement must not
be too sudden. At the top of the swing,
your whole left side should face tne
ball. At the finish of the shot It Is
almost exactly the reverse. Your right
side should be facing the spot where
the ball was teed.
One Important thing to watch is the
co-ordination between the pivot, the
hands, and the clubhead. The timing
of the shot is everything, as without
it all is lost. The body at the moment
of Impact should be almost exactly In
the same position as the address,
the left heel should touch the ground
as the clubhead hits the ball. Then
comes a transferring of the weight
to the left leg, the follow through,
and the finish.
It is not so easy to master the pivot
in a day or a month. Even when ac
quired, one is likely to lose it at times
unless his attention is called to the
fact that he is not turning properly.
Golfers imagine that they turn much
more than they do.

Second Game Doth Contests
for Winged M Field.
. 0or' the first time in Portland in
terscholastic history, a football double-header
will be played on Multno
mah field Friday afternoon.
Hill Military academy and the high
school eleven of Goldendale, Wash.,
will play the first game, starting at
1:30 o'clock. Commerce and Franklin
high schools will clash In the second
game, which starts at 3 o'clock. In

ule of the Portland public school
league.
Considerable negotiating preceded
the decision to put on both games the
same day. Hill originally had con
tracted for the field, but due to a
misunderstanding, the high school
game was scheduled for the same
time and place. For a time It was
proposed to play the high school game
In the Franklin bowl, but Commerce
objected to that.
This will not be the first football
double-header played here, but the
first in which all the participating
teams are high school elevens.
Only three more games remain to be
played In the public school league
schedule. James John and Benson will
fight it out today on Multnomah field,
and Jefferson and Lincoln will play
tomorrow.

BUILD LIKE DEMPSEY'S
Fighter Only One Conceded Chance
AVith Champion Denver Ed
to Be Met Friday.
More fight fans saw Harry Wills,
the negro heavyweight champion. In
his first workout -at the Olympic
gymnasium yesterday than attended
the last boxing smoker in Portland.
Every corner of the gym was packed
by fight bugs eager for a glimpse of
the only man conceded a chance with
the champion. Jack Dempsey.
If Wills ever manages to corner
Dempsey in a ring plenty of Port
landers will be ready to wager their
last penny on the black boy Just on
the showing he made In an hour and
a half workout yesterday. In the
ring Wills resembles Dempsey In
many respects. There Is a striking
resemblance In the build of the two.
although Wills packs more weight
than the champion.
The negro challenger when In ac
tion assumes the same crouch that
Dempsey does when he bores In. He
is fast on his feet and shoots in his
left or right Mke lightning from any
agle. It would be a real "battle of
the century" if Wills and Dempsey
could only be brought together.
Willn AVorkoot Strenuous.
Wills, who meets the veteran Den
ver Ed, Martin at Mllwaukie next
Friday night, took a strenuous work
out. Opening with several rounds of
shadow boxing, he turned to bag
punching for a few more rounds and
stopped only after tearing the bag
out of the socket with a hard wallop.
But it was when the negro giant
took on his sparring partners that
the camp followers began to realize
Just what Denver Ed is up against
Friday night. A big negro heavy
weight somewhere near the Biie of
Wills was the first opponent. He
lasted two punches.
Wills first cut. loose with his right.
The punch was so fast that no one
saw It coming, but the poor sparring
partner felt it land and for a few
seconds lot track of everything.
Wills grabbed him In his arms and
began to Jig around until the unfor
tunate sparring partner was1 out of
the daze. Then he sent over his left.
which Just about ended all his op
ponent's ambitions to hang onto his
Job as a punching bag. All this In
tne first minute of sparring
St. t'lnlr ; Wallop.
Then Willie St. Clair stepped in for
three rounds. Young Sam Langford
followed St. Clair for four more
rounds of sparring with the big
black. Wills stepped around with his
two lighter opponents in easy style,
although he did lift St. Clair over
the ropes with a right-hand wallop,
Willis' next fight following his
match with Denver Ed at Mllwaukie
Friday night Is In Denver on Novem
ber 25. His opponent hasn't been
named.

NAVY TRIES ECONOMY
Hepnlr Ships Are Now Being Used
In Salvage Jobs.
NEW YORK. Naval retrenchment
is being put into practice with the
utilization of naval repair chips in.
the salvage of old battleships and
otherwise materially assisting In the
countless Jobs which ordinarily have.
gone to navy-yards.
It has been the custom heretofore
to allow repair ships to undertake
small necessary Jobs for the fleets
only when they were anchored far
from navy-yards or other land bases.
Through the rearrangement of
ship repair allotments. It now has
been found practical to have these
indispensable "mother" ships do much
more than was formerly required of
them. So henceforth they will spend
long periods in the navy-yards and.
It is expected, effect economies la
naval work.
The Prometheus, Atlantic fleet re
pair ship, and the Black Hawk, flo
tilla repair ship are lying In the New
York navy-yaril after having en
gaged in dismantling the pre-drcad-noughts
which cruised around the
world in 190S, and are now lying out
of commission in the Philadelphia
navy-yard.
Machinery, motors, blowers, search
lights, telephones, copper cable and
even furniture, which may have fu
ture usefulness, have been removed
and brought here from'Phlladelphia
to be used In the outfitting of the
Great Northern as flagship of the
Atlantic fleet.
Extensive alterations are to be
made by the Prometheus, with a force
of 260 art Id f ers. This work will be
completed In time to allow the Great
Northern to leave for the winter
maneuvers early next year.
The Prometheus, of 12,000 tons
gross, was converted from a collier
in 1915 to a modern repair ship. It
Is equipped to handle heavy machine
and blacksmith work or such fine
tasks as adjusting of chronometers
and binoculars. It is commanded by
Captain Paul Foley.
It Is expected that another source
of economy will be the establishment
of a reclamation store at the naval
operating base, Hampton roads, va.
There all salvaged material- or fur
ther usefulness will be stored and
Issued.
