THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1921 15 NAVY TEAM TO PLAY OREGON NEW YEAR'S Storm Clouds Hovering Over Hawaiian Football Word. ALL-ISLAND TEAM WANTED 11' " ! frats of riarlna. which add to Pearl Harbor Eleven Composed of Players Who Have Been In Territory Short Time. BY MIKE JAT. HONOLULU. T. H.. Due 1. (By Mall.) The University of Hawaii athletic council has awarded the New Year's day x&me against the Univer sity of Oregon here to the Pearl Har bor Navy team, provided only that the sailors win their final game against Palamas, a weak eleven. But that has not settled the storm clouds which are hovering over the football world of Hawaii. The other half dozen teams In the senior league art clamoring that the University of Hawaii require the Pearl Harbor Navy team to play an all-Hawaii team to decide which shall get the New Year's date with Oregon. The argument advanced is that the Navy team Is made up of men who have been in the islands but a short time and hence are not truly representa tive of the best football material lure. While the varsity council has pub lished its decision, the fight is not over and further developments are expected. The Navy it keeping mum until It cops the Palama game, after which it will probably come out flat footed and demand the New Vear's date. University Team Improving, The University of Hawaii team, which plays Oregon Christmas, is rapidly Improving. Starting the sea son badly, the varsity is coming around now and showing some real fight, ft is not yet In a class, how ever, where Its backers hold much hope against Oregon. In a recent game the varsity outplayed the Out rigger Canoe club In all departments but an unlucky fumble and a blocked kick resulted in a 12 to 12 tie. Nei ther team converted a single goal due to the high wind. The varsity made 235 yards from scrimmage while the Outriggers made but 117. The freak feature of the battle came in the third quarter. The Outriggers did not hiake a single yard from scrimmage in the entire quarer, yet scored a touch down. In fact, the only time the surf ers tried to' make yardages they lost seven yards. The varsity had the ball and lost IB yards on a fumble but recovered. A second attempt resulted in another loss, the pass from center being wild. On the next play, Outriggers blocked a punt, the ball bounding be hind the line when a surfer fell on It. Klevc-n (ireatly Crippled. Coach Otto Klum. of the varsity, is a wild man. He has had so many players hurt that in no two games has the team been the game. The big gest loss at present is "Pump" Searle. halfback. Searle. a consistent ground gainer is suffering from a bad ankle. By keeping him out of play for the next two weeks, Coach Klum is hop ing his ankle will be sufficiently healed to permit him to play Christ mas. The varsity team at present Is using Heminger at center. He is not quite heavy enough for his Job. Jack Johnson, an old reliable. Is at right guard. Nothing seems able to lay nut Jacobson, who made the all Hawaii eleven last year and probably will make it again this year. Oliveira, at left guard, is a Por tuguese boy from Hilo, who has been toughened In the embers of the vol cano of Kilauea. Mortimer Lydgate, another 200-pounder. is at right tackle. He is Hawaii's celebrated punter. This year he has had off-aVid-on games. In some games he has maintained his 55 and 60-yard aver age for punts and In others has been lamentably weak, both in distance and direction. His work as a tackle on the line has Improved Immensely and he has developed speed. Fuller, at left tackle, playec last year with the Outrigger club. Flncke, a youngster from the Hono lulu Military academy, at left end. is fleet and stars especially In grab bing forward passes. The backfleld is improving In Its Interference. For a good part of the season the backfleld did not work well together but at last the boys have got together and are really machining. Bob Sptnotr Clever General. While Bob Spencer Is captain and quarterback, he Is now playing only about a quarter or at the most a half of each game. He seems to have lost his stride this season and can last only a quarter, though he is still the same clever field general. The safety man is Kinney, who is good at hurling forward passes and running back punts. Though well built and stocky. Kinney is one of the fastest runners on the team and it is no trick at all for him to reel off 20 or 30 yards In a runback through a broken field. Nell Blalsdell, a St. Louis college hoy, has fitted Into the varsity ma chine at right half. He is an excel lent line plunger. Clarence Earle, brother of "Pump," is the other half. To assist Coach Klum for the Christmas game. Coach Frank Mid klff, former Punahou academy coach, has been enlisted. He Is now in charge of the line work while Klum devotes all his attention to the back-field. TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. Peoples Ethel Clayton, "Exit the Vamp." C o 1 u m b 1 a Mabel Normand, "Molly O."

The Dicture is an adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's novel of the same name. The pictures from Curwood stories always have the outdoors as the background of an exciting story and the scenic effects are exception ally good In this production. The picture is of further interest because some of the scenes were taken in Oregon. A charming bit of atmosphere Is obtained by settings In an old fort, where the customs of a past generation are followed. The quaint costumes and courtly manners ot the Frenchmen who settled on the western coast are portrayed In de lightful fashion. Henrv B. Walthall, who is a favor ite with film fans, has the role of the hero. Philip Whittemore. He Is ad mirably suited to play this part. Pauline Starke has the exciting role of the heroine, who survives all man ner of adventures. She is rescued by the hero, after being abducted by two burly villains, and then a few min the melodramatic, interest of the produc tion. The picture Is fiHed with fighting of various kinds, and the element of mystery Is well sustained. Screen Gossip. William D.

By a process that is most Ingenious, new lumber is made to look old, the edges filed and stained and the marks of many gen erations and suterranean dampness Imparted to It. In this den an Apache dance Is executed, giving Miss Comp son a chance to prove what an apt pupil of Theodore Kosloff can accom plish in a week or two of intensive training.

Grays harbor was Isolated today to highway traffic and the railroads were operating under difficulties. Highway traffic on the east was impassable beyond Brady, the small detour bridge near the Satsop bridge has been washed out and the Satsop road running northeast out of Brady was washed out. The principal washouts reported up to noon today were three or more on the Northern Pacific railroad roadbed between Aberdeen and Moclips, one on the Milwaukee and O -W. R. & N. road about nine milts west of Cen tralla. one of the Northern Pacific tracks at Belmore, between Olympia r.nd Gate; several smaller ones be tween Olympia and Aberdeen, and noe on the C. D. Hansen road near Pol son's railroad camp, 13 miles north of Hoquiam. The Humptulips, Chehalis, Satsop and Wynooche rivers have risen to heights unetyialed in the last 11 years, flooding large areas in various parts of the county, washing out bridges and roadbeds, disrupting train service, demoralizing automobile traf fic, and causing general damage. At 1 o'clock today a tide of between 13 and 14 feet was reported in Aber deen, setting a record for the year, and driving out several thousand wharf rats who were seen drifting around on the bay on debris loosened by the flood.

Head or Public Health Service in Portland Is Accused of Neg lecting War Veterans. Young Woman Entrant Declared Pediatry Marvel and Wears Shoes of 4 Vx -B Size. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (Special.) New York can boast of one perfect foot no, two of them fcr a pair of exquisitely dainty plnk-ilnted pedal extremities has been discovered by those persons in pursuit of this at tribute In order to show visitors to the health show being heid in Grand CentraJ Palace wjjat they ought to possess in the way of substantial foundation and compare it with the deformities some of them display or seek to hide. The discovery was made by Reuben H. Gross, register of the first pediatry institute, who Is in charge of the foot clinic booth at the exhibition. It was as much of a surprise to Mr. Gross as it was to Miss Elizabeth Doyle, a nurse, of 501 West One Hundred Thir- eenth street, the proud owner of the perfect foot, when not a flaw could be f6und In the bit of pink flesh she entered In the foot contest, and en tered it on a bet, too. Dr. Gross, who has defined the per fect foor as one without corns or cal louses, with toes freely moving and the arch perfectly formed, declared that Miss Doyle's feet were like to very few practically none In the whole city. He promised her the prize, though the contest will not be over officially for a few days, and any woman Is free to challenge Miss Doyle's right to the silver cup. Size has nothing to do with the beauty of the foot, but it is interesting to note that Miss Doyle wears a 4H-B. "I came on a wager," she said with a laugh. "I am a trained nurse and the doctor I work for said I couldn't get the prize; so. of course, I came right along down here to get it." Miss Doyle had on high heels, point ed toes and thin soles. When Mr. Gross advised her to adopt a more sensible style of shoe she replied that as a child she had to wear shoes that others selected, and now she intended to wear the kind she liked. Miss Doyle permitted protog raphers to take pictures of her foot, but she would not let them snapshot her face. "I never wore high-heeled shoes when I was a child." she explained. "I had to wear what my mother bought me, but now I buy mv own and I wear high heels if I want to." "You won't have perfect feet very long," growled the medical man.
