Representatives of the seven col
leges In the northwest Intercollegiate
conference, which Is composed of the
Universities of Oregon, Idaho and
Montana, Oregon Agricultural college,
Washington Stat college. Whitman
college and Willamette university,
meet here today In their annual
chedule-making session.
The University of Washington isn't
at present a member of the northwest
conference, but from all indications
will be within the family circle by
tonlght. Washington, after holding
aloof from the northwest body for
some years, has made application for
membership and there 19 no question
bout her welcome.
Gonsaga Seeks Admhtnnre.
Gonzaga university of Spokane also
Is applying for admittance. As Gon
saga's athletic schedules) are for the
most part against conference colleges
anyway, her application probably will
meet with favor If her representatives
convince the conference that its rules
Of eligibility will be followed. Gus
Dorais. football coach, and Bill Mulli
gan, graduate manager, are here to
plead Oonzaga's cause.
The principal business of the con
ference la to draw up football,
basketball, baseball and track sched
ules for next season. There never is
much argument aboajt the three latter
lines of aport. but football always Is
good for at least one big argument.
One question this year Is whether the
northwest conference shall go ahead
and adopt its own football schedule
before the Pacific coast conference,
its big sister, meets here Saturday,
or consider Its own schedule as tenta
tive and submit It for approval at
the coast meeting.
Problem for Coaat Seaalon.
The latter course probably will be
followed, at least so far as Oregon,
Oregon Agricultural college, Wash
ington State and the University of
Washington, considering her admit
tance as certain, are concerned. That
will give the coast session something!
to wrestle over and argue about and
bo doubt the opportunity will be used
to the utmost. It always is.
There Is quite an element In th
orthwest conference that feels that
the future of the northwest colleges
lies with this conference, rather than
with the big coaat conference, which
covers so much territory that there
always are squabbles of some sort or
another between Its northern and Its
southern members. The northwest
conference Is so much more compact
than the coast conference that its
football schedules are comparatively
asy to figure out. But at the con t
con f reiirr there always are decided
differences of opinion as to policy,
trips and which colleges should get
tbis big game or that.
Meeting Opens n 11,10.
Whether this subject will be in
jected Into the northwest conference
meeting remains to be seen. But not
a fw of the north westerner! woui-1
like to see the northern colleges
.make the northwest conference the
big conference, and schedule their
California football games a9 intersec
tlonal contests.
The conference session will open
at 1 :30 o'clock this afternon at tho
Imperial hotel. The meeting today
probably will pass on the applications
of ' Washington and Gonzaga, and
make a start on the football schedule,
but enough business is coming up to
make a Friday session certain. Then
on Saturday the coast conference con
venes. The Idaho representatives had not
arrived here last night, but word
comes from Moscow that tho univer
sity la ambitious for a larger share
In the northwest conference than it
has had heretofore, and that it also
would like to break Into the coast
conference and will submit an appli
cation for membership therein Sat
urday. Idaho will he represented,
not only by Tom Kelley, football
coach, and Kred Graff, graduate man
ager, but also by Deans M. F. Angell
and O. P. Cockerill of . the faculty.
Representative Are Mated.
The Oregon representatives will be
Professor H. C. Howo and Jack Bene
fle, graduate manager, and probably
Shy Huntington, football coach. Ore
gon Agricultural college will have
Professor U. G. Duback here and
probably James J. Richardson, gradu
ate manager, and Dick Rutherford,
football coach.
From Washington State, J. Fred
Bohler, athletic director, already is
here and Gu Welch, the coach, and
Dean H. V. Carpenter also will be 01
hand. Coach Borleske and Professor
It. W. Davis will represent Whitman,
and Roy Bohler, athletic director, will
be here from Willamette. Coach
Blerman is the Montana representa
tive. The University of Washington's ap
plication will be submitted by Darwin
Meisnest. graduate manager,- and Pro
fessor Ayer of the fsculty.
Some time In the course of the con.
ference Doc Bohler of Washington
State will get the basketball men to
gether and discuss the basketball
rules, with a view to uniform Inter
pretations in all conference games.
DUBACK TO REPRESENT O. A. C.

Dr. U. O. Duback, prealdent of the

sentative of the athletic department.
80 far the board of control has
taken no action on any of the ques
tions that may come before the con
ference and neither Dr. Duback nor
Coach Rutherford are giving their
views until definite action Is taken.
Baaeball anil basketball schedules
will require Immediate action. Barn
storming trips are planned in both
these sports but final arrangements
canont be made until the conference

HE SILENT CALL," at the Lib

first appearance on the screen
of Strongheart, a European police dog.
whose first work in pictures places
him In the rank of a star. He prob
ably will be seen in many other pic
tures, but It Is doubtful if he will do
better work titan in this production.
The picture Is a screen adaptation
of "The Cross Pull," a magazine story,
and calls for just such a dog as
Strongheart to play the lead'ng role.
The novelty of having a dog play the
principal role throughout the picture
and the excellence of StrDngheart's
acting form the principal appeal In
the picture.
The settings are beautiful and since
practically all of the story takes
place out of doors, snow peaks,
streams and meadows make an at
tractive background for the unfold
ing of the plot. The story i straight

to like it Immensely and applaud In
great excitement when tho heroine

strongheart is seen in tho role of
Flash, a cross between a gray wolf
and a renegade sheep dog. Flash is
devoted to Clark Moran and is lonely
and miserable when Moran is called
east. While Moran is sway, Flash
roams the hills and kills cattle at
night. He Is found guilty and Is
about to be shot, when he makes a
spectacular leap and reaches safety
in the mountains. He Is later the
means of bringing together Moran
and his sweetheart, Betty Houston,
and acts as Betty's protector when

Portland boxing fans really ap
preciate good honest fights and the
effort of Captain Harry Hansen,
matchmaker, to line up such cards
matchmaker, to line up such cards.
That was demonstrated at Tuesday
night's card. The gate receipts took
a leap of mora than tSOO and very
bout waa applauded. As the armory
haB a capacity of 6000 persons, a mere
1000 or so can easily be lost in the
shuffle. There were about that many
in attendance.
A few more cards like this bill and
the dyed-in-wool boxing followers
will be turning out en masse again.
Times are hard and dollars are
scarce, but anyone who is a real box-
nig fan would not begrudge skimping
a few dimes to attend a fight-feet of
class.
The next mofael on the local fistic
menu will be served Monday after
noon. December 26, at the armory.
Monday will be a holiday and as
everyone will have stowed away a
plentiful repast Sunday there will be
little to do Monday afternoon. The
commission has given Captain Hansen
leeway to go ahead and sign the best
attraction he can line up for that
date. A match between Joe Benjamin
and Bobby Harper has been men
tioned as the topilner, but Joe may
not be here then.
It is possible that Harper may be
used against some other well-known
lightweight if Benjamin is not avail
able.
Mllwaukie will throw its arena
doors open the night of December 16,
if a suitable main event can be ob
tained. There are plenty of attrac
tive preliminaries hereabouts, but
scraps of main-event caliber are ex
ceedingly scare.
Matchmaker Kendall has been cor
responding with Travis Davis, th
coast welterweight king, regarding a
match with Alex Trambitss. for De
cember. A ten-rounder between Babe
Asher, the A. K. F. bantam chap, and
Danny Edwards also is under con
sideration. Ad Macke may be used on
the same card.
Frederick Fulton, the Minnesota
plasterer, finally got revenge on Carl
Morris, the Oklahoma giant. Fulton
knocked out Morris In the fourth
round of a bout in Winnipeg the
other night. To knockout Morris
these days is no great cred.it. as nu
merous heavies have doused hif
glimmers for the evening, but for
Fulton to turn the trick Is a different
thing. It must have been a pleasing
Incident In the life of Ferocious Fred,
for no man in puglllBih did more to
depreciate Fulton's stock thsn Morris.
Fulton and Morris had met twice
previously, once In New York and
once in Cleveland.
In the New York bout, several
years ago, Morris subjected Fulton to
such rough usage in the way of but
ting him with his head, chucking him
against the ropes and otherwise mal
treating him that the tall plasterer
showed an Inclination to quit. He
finally was induced to continued the
striggle, but as thers was no Im
provement in Morris' methods Fulton
at last extricated himself from his
difficulties by deliberately landing a
foul blow, which resulted in his dis
qualification. In the Cleveland encounter Morris
again used foul tactics to such an ex
tent that Fulton tried to climb out
of the ring. He had one leg through
the rope on two occasions, but was
forced back by his seconds. He
finally was adjudged the winner be
cause of the foul work of Morris.
However, these fights with Morris
served to create a very general im
pression that Fulton was hopelessly
deficient of courage.

AGED MEDICINE MAN DEAD
l matilla Indian Feared by His Peo
ple, Burled at Cayuse.
PENDLETON, Or., Dec. 7 (Spe
cial.) Sa Mok, medicine man of the
Umatillaa. much feared and respected,
was burled today by fellow tribes
men at Cayuse. He died last Sunday
at the age of SO years.
Sa Mok, known among the white
men as Big Jim, was a powerful fores
among the Indians in former years
He was believed to hold power for
good or evil over all Indians through
his mysterious Incantations and magic.
In the days of the Indian uprisings he
was said to have had much to do with
the action of the tribe.
When the smallpox almost depleted
the Indian reservation of Its popula
tion In 1111, most of the tribe were
positive that Sa Mok had cast a spell
over the people.
Soma years ago George Marshall of
the John Day country Journeyed to
the Umatilla reservation and accused
a AIoh. or being responsible for a
death in his family. Friends of the
two Indians assisted in smoothing
over the difficulty when Marshall
threatened to kill the medicine man.
A few days later Marshall suddenly
died and It waa from this occurrence
that the Indians received roost of their
fear.
The aged medicine man was ths
father of Little Jack, who . died ten
years ago, and was a brother of Red
Elk, another prominent Umatillan.
