KNOCK
EM DEAD
M
IS DEMPSEY'S CREED
Champion Hands Out Advice
to Local Boxers.
BODY ATTACK FAVORED
Kearns Says His Fighter Has Not
Drawn Color IJne and Would
Give Wills Chance.
BY DICK SHARP.
Jack Dempsey's creed la "knock
'em dead." Giving: a few words of
encouragement and advice to Alex
Trambitas, Babe Herman and Claire
Bromeo, who were gathered In his
dressing room Sunday afternoon,
Dempsey said:
"The only thing to do is to go in
and knock your man out. Knock
him for a goal. If I didn't think I
could knock my man out when I
entered the ring, I wouldn't be able
to fight a lick. I would be beaten
before the fight ever Btarted.
"Don't pull your punches. Follow
every blow through with every
ounce of strength you have and
never let up. flan the attack to the
body. That's twice as dangerous."
For the first time since he has
been sparring In vaudeville, Dempsey
took on some of the smaller men
last week. He boxed with Claire
Bromeo five times and Alex Tram
bitas once. Both these boys, who
are welterweights, stepped In and
gave the champ as good a chance to
show his ability as the heavyweights.
Tramhltaa Digs In.
His three-round session at one of
Sunday's shows with Alex Trambitas
was the best of the week. Both dug
right In with solid wallops. It was
the first time Alex had had the
gloves on in several weeks but he
breezed into Dempsey and never
slackened. After the exhibition
Dempsey remarked that Alex has
improved 100 per cent since he last
worked with him in training camp
days for the C'arpentier fight.
The champion and Jack Kearns
concluded their engagement here and
left Portland at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning. KearnB will stop at Oak
land, which Is his home town.
Dempsey will continue on through to
Los Angeles to visit his people before
opening up on the I'antages circuit
again in San Francisco the week of
December -6.
It has been decided to end the
vaudeville engagement in Los An
geles. Kearns will depart for New
York the second week in January to
begin negotiations for another
world's championship fight for Jack.
Dempsey will remain in Los Angeles
for a while and may start work on
a picture. The Pathe company, with
which Dempsey has a contract for
his film work, had a feature on his
life all mapped out to be shot last
year but it was called off owing to
poor business conditions. Either
that picture or a new feature will
be done this time.-
BASKETBALL FUTURE IS ROSY,
SAYS COACH OF AGGIE FIVE
Sport Destined to Be Second Only to Football and Will Draw Crowds
of 3000 and 5000, He Declares.
G0LFU6 FRATERNITY
BT L. H.
(iJ ASKETBALL," ren
Rutherford, dlrec
There seems to be quite a demand
for a match between Jack Dempsey
and Harry Wills. Dempsey Is nol
averse to meeting Wills and doesn't
draw the color line. Said Kearns the
other day:
"Bring on all the Wills'. The only
thingneeded is a promoter to stage
a Dempsey-Wills go who can put up
a worth-while offer and show some
real money as a guarantee of good
faith."
No doubt plenty of promoters
would welcome the chance to stage
such a battle but they are not big
enough men to put It over. And
then there Is a good chance that a
promoter might have trouble staging
a Pempsey-Wills fight in this
country.
Havana, the oasis In the West
Indies, has been a long time, getting
over the Johnson-WillHrd match, but
seems to have recovered now. Wills
is making himself a great card in
Cuba. He has a contract calling for
three or four fights in Havana and
already has knocked out old Gunboat
Smith in a round. Some 20.000 fans
attended the flghf: His next oppon
ent there will be Farmer Lodge, who
ought to be even easier for the big
.smoke.
GREGORY.
marked Dick
rector of ath
letics at Oregon Agricultural
college, who was In town yesterday
with the Aggie basketeers for sonrV
preliminary games here, "Is destined
to be second only to football, the big
intercollegiate sport. It has arrived
In the middle west and is gaining In
popularity here each year. Before
many seasons you will see crowds of
3000 to 6000 at the important games.
. "It's that way now in the big ten.
When I was on the University of Ne
braska five a few seasons back, there
were juuu spectators at a game we
played on the Wisconsin floor. And a
year later 1 couldn't even get a seat
to a game at the university of Illi
nois because I forgot to apply until
four days before the game. There
were 6000 at that contest, and every
seat was sold early in the week.
They have big gyms back there
and can accommodate the spectators.
while in the northwest we haven't
the facilities to handle the crowds as
yet. But that will all come In time.
Meanwhile basketball is becoming
more and more popular, not only as
an intercollegiate sport, but in intra
mural athletics.
"Basketball is a great game for the
spectator, for there are no intricate
rules for him to learn. It is full of
action and every play is an open book.
He knows Just what Is happening
every minute. It Is a good game for
the colleges, too. because it Isn't ex
pensive to operate, like football, where
equipment for a squad runs Into four
figures. Consequently you don't have
to charge big admission prices, and
that again is another source of the
game's growing popularity. -
"I look for the time to come when
the colleges will rank the basketball
championship as next in importance
to the football championship. The lit
tle colleges have more of a chance in
basketball, .also, for it isn't so hard
to find five men of high-class bas
ketball caliber as to collect and train
11 football players and their substi
tutes, and the wear and tear on play
ers isn't so great."
Which reminds us that Walter Pow
ell, athletic director at Stanford uni
versity, when he was here attending
the Pacific coast conference meeting
a couple of weeks ago, said that
Stanford and California played one of
their basketball games last season
before 10.000 spectators. That seemed!
so extravagant a remark that we
asked him to repeat it. and he did.
emphasizing the 10,000.
"You see," he explained, "we played
this game in our big open-air pavil
ion, so there was plenty of room for
everybody. An attendance of 10.000
at a basketball game may sound un
believable, but those are the official
figures. It isn't uncommon lor us to
play to crowds of 6000 at Stanford
and California, which only goes to
show how popular basketball Is becoming."
have a 'great basketball team this
year," said Rutherford, "and, with a
veteran for every position and two or
three letter men to spare, ought to
win the coast championship, or come
mighty close to it. But in another
season I would back our five against
any of them. Hjeite, center: Gill at
forward and Richards at guard are
new men but comers, and I have a
fine set of substitutes In Fernley and
Ryan, forwards; Lyman, center, and
L. Gill, Eilertson and Perry, guards."
Rutherford played forward and
guard for the University of Nebraska
in 1913, 1914 and 1915.
Reverting for the moment to foot
ball, Rutherford is preparing to make
up fpr the loss of 12 or 13 lettermen
at Oregon Agricultural college next
year by combing the college for foot
ball material and then giving it the
once over in some strenuous spring
practice.
The only lettermen he is sure of for
next year are Percy Locey, left tackle
and captain-elect; Gill and Miller,
halves, and Murius McFadden, end.
McFadden is the only two-year man
among them, the other veterans hav
ing played their first varsity foot
ball this season.
So Rutherford plans an intensive
combing-out campaign through the
freshman, sophomore and junior
classes after the Christmas holidays.
Then men who look like likely foot
ball lads will be ordered into suits
for about three weeks of hard prac
tice in February and March. It will
be real practice, too, Including scrim
mage work as well as the fundamen
tals. In that way Rutherford expects
to get a line on the really promising
men so he can concentrate on them
right from the start at the opening
of the regular football season.
Having only four lettermen back as
a nucleus to work on always makes
a coach gloomy, yet sometimes it is
the best thing that could possibly
happen. For instance there are no
old players used to another style of
football to be trained all over again
in the particular style used by the
coach. Too many veterans are some
times as bad as too many cooks. For
Instance, Hugo Betdek at Penn State
last fall had only four lettermen
around which to build up his team,
yet he turned out the wonder eleven
of the east.
PRAYING FOR Rl

Snow From Links.
EXPERTS TO PLAY FRIDAY
Barnes and Hutchison Scheduled
to Play With Wilhelm and
Dick, Rutherford is coaching the
Aggie basketeers himself. He says
he doesn't expect them to win any
great honors this season, because the
quintet contains only two veteran
players,- Captain Stinson at forward
and A. Ross at guard, but he thinks
that next season it ought to go hard
and fast.

OLDTIME BOXEK IS VISITOIt
Mark. ShaughncKscy Here to Seek
Bouts for Protege.
Mark Shaughnessey, for many
yoars connected with the boxing and
sport world in general, Is a Portland
visitor. Many years ago Sliatighnes
sey was one of the greatest welter
weight fighters in the world. He
retired from the ring to manage
fighters and brought up such boxer
as Jack Johnson, Kid Lavigne and
many others. He has been associated
in the promotion of bouts in San
Francisco, Spokane, Minneapolis, S.
Paul, Duluth and Detroit at various
times during hl career.
At the present time Shaughnessey
Is wrapped up in a heavyweight
protege he has in tow. Jack McAuliffe.
The battler tips the beams at 205
pounds, is S feet 3 inches or so in
height and is said to ba a wonderfully
clever man for a heavyweight.
Shaughnessey dicovered McAuliffe in
Detroit about a year ago and has
been bringing him along at a slow
but sure pace.
Shaughnessey has been acting In the
capacity of matchmaker for the Elks'
ledge in Detroit, but resigned to
make a trip to the coast to renew
old acquaintances and try to line up
eome fights for his scrapper. Shaugh
nessey hopes to land matches here
for McAuliffe. and has already re
ceived an offer for him to box in
Tacoma.
HIGII-rniCEI MINORS BLAMED
Dearth Seen In Player Trades.
Market Held Out of Gear.
NEW TORK, Dec. 19 Baseball en
thusiasts, seeking a reason for the
dearth of player trades between major
league clubs which marked last
week's gathering of the clans, at
tribute it to the high prices paid for
minors which has thrown the market
out of gear and has given the club
owners something to think about.
The sensational sales made by Pa
cific coast clubs to teams in the big
circuits are believed by followers of
the game to be responsible for the
lack of action.
Only one deal sending a player from
one major league club to another took
place during the week.
An Illustration of the sentiment In
regard to the decline in player trad
ncr was given by Ty Cobb when he
-marked that if a man like Jimmy
O'Connell. who has been in minor
oague bnseball only two years, was
worth ST5.000, what was Bob Veach,
n proved .360 hitter and a ball hawk,
worth In the open market? O'Connell
was bought by the Giants. i
The South Parkway-Oregon Agri- SCHOOL
cultural college basketball game set
for. Thursday night at the Neighbor
hood house. Second and Woods streets,
will be played as -scheduled. The
mixup threatened by the fact that the
Arleta team, which played the Aggies
last night, was not registered with
the Amateur Athletic union, was
cleared up before the game when
Manager Brooks had his players reg
ister with A. D- Wakeman chairman
here of the union's registration com
mittee. Otherwise South Parkway would
rot have been permitted to play the
Aggies, who would have been penal
ized for playing against unregistered
athletes. All that Is straightened out
now and the amateur sikies are clear.
Jack Gurlan, the tiny Whitman col
lege forward, while in Portland for
the holidays. Is working out with the
Parkway boys and if he is eligible
without breaking any conference
rules, will be on the I'arkway team
against the Aggies. Gurian i an ex
Lincoln high star, having played with
the Lincoln team when it won the
state interscholastlc basketball title.
Before that he was a South Parkway
star.
There will he a double-header Thurs
day night, with Lincoln high and the
Young Men's Athletic club playing
the preliminary game. The Young
Men's club has won five straight
games. Ralph Boreui will rereree me
first game, and Leon Fabre the main
contest between Parkway and the
Aggies.
MEETING PL'T OFF
Ratification or Hoop Schedule to
Take Place Later.
A meeting of the directors of the
Portland Public School league, sched
uled for today, has been postponed
until later in the week, it was an
nounced yesterday by Hugh J. Boyd,
principal of Washington high and
president of the league.
The purpose of the meeting was to
ratify the basketball schedule Mr.
Boyd has prepared for the high
schools. As arranged, it calls for
three games a week, the opening con
test to be played January 17. No
gam.es are scheduled for the week

Page Mr. Rainmaker Hatfield. The
services of Mr. Hatfield are sorely
needed by the Portland Golf club,
where directors would gladly award
him a handsome bonus could he pro
duce rain at the golf course before
next Friday.
If present weather conditions con
tinue the exhibition golf match slated
for the Portland golf club course Fri
day between Jock Hutchisotf and Jim
Barnes, the noted professionals, and
Rudy Wilhelm and John Junor of the
Portland club, will have to be called
off. The directors, therefore, are
praying for rain, which .brings up
the remarkable situation of a sport
ing event that actually craves inclem
ent weather.
There is now a blanket of snow
some three inches deep and drifting
high on many spots of the Portland
course. Ittis impossible to play golf
under such conditions. Only a burst
of good old soothing Oregon mist can
put the links in shape for the biggest
single golf event billed here In many
seasons.
AH Praying for Rain.
The directors do not want to call
off the affair. They are praying for
rain and every golf bug in the city
is praying with. them. To miss the
opportunity of seeing Jock and Long
Jim in action would long be re
gretted. The Portland golf club wants to
give golf followers of the city a
glimpse of Hutchison and Barnes in
action and has put up a stiff guar
antee to bring them here. It was
unanimously voted not to charge any
admission to the match and to invite
all persons interested in golf to view
the 36-hole struggle Friday. thV first
18 holes starting at 8:30 o'clock in the
morning and the final 18 holes at 1:30
o'clock in the afternoon.
If Barnes and Hutchison are unable
to play owjng to the condition of the
links, they can still collect their
money if they want it, W. C. Bristol,
president of the club, said last night.
But the directors hope that rain
will fall in torrents the next three
days. Regardle.su of how hard it may
pour the match will go on. Rain
never stopped a golfer. The big thing
is to clear the course of snow.
I'layrra Due Thursday.
Hutchison and Barnes will arrive
here Thursday. They are to play
over the Seattle Golf club course
today, snow permitting. Tomorrow
will find them driving over the
Tacoma club links. Thursday they
will arrive here and Friday they are
to carry on against Wilhelm and
Junor, two of the most formidable
golfers in Oregon, always provided
rain makes the match possible.
The names of Hutchison and
Barnes are sufficient to draw golfers
of all grades and efficiency and fol
lowers of all other sports as well
Jock is the present British open
champion, while Jim is the American
national open title holder. Augment
ing these titles, an imposing list of
championships dangles from the belts
of both linksmen.
Technically, Barnes is the world's
open champion. This championship
is claimed for him in view of hi
victory, 5 up and 4 to go, over Hutch
lson in a special match just after
each had annexed his open cham
pionship. In addition Barnes is
Florida open champion, while Hutch
ison possesses the north and south
open title, the prize sought each

Outside of Walter Hagen there is
hardly a professional who can
challenge either. Both are tremen
dous hitters from the tee. Long Jim
uses his unusual height in securing
his screeching drives, while Jock,
much shorter n statue, combines
powerful wrists with perfect timing.
The manner in which Jock uses a
mashie and niblick to impart back

California College of Honor

BY WILLIAM UNMACK.
Within the last few days the ques
tion has been raised as lo what is th
correct Pacific coast' record , for the
four-man. one mile relay. Stanford
adherents make the claim that In 1914
their relay team set a ni.tr k of 3:21 3-5
while others contend the mark is
one second worse. Among alumni of
Stanford and California who were in
collage et that time a small-sized war
of debate has been taking place and
the matter has been referred to the
writer.
In the official programme of the
California versus Stanford dual track
meet last April Stanford was. credited
with holding the record with 3:22 3-5
As a mutter of fact if that was the
record for the Stanford-California
series it was also the record for the
Pacific coast, but twice later in the
same year the'record was broken. On
May ii9. 1914, the Washington State
college team at Pullman, Wash., won
the relay in 3:22 thus eliminating the
Stanford mark as a coast record, and
on September 19, 1914, the University
of California team won the Pacific
Aesoclation A. A. U. branch relay, de
feating the Caledonian club in
3:21 2-5.
Back in 1909. April 17, to be cor
rect. Stanford relay men defeated Cal
ifornia varsity In the dual meet In
the relay setting a figure of 3:18.
which was not only a coast record.
but American intercollegiate A.meri-
can A. A. U., as all collegiate meets
In the district are sanctioned by the
A. A. U. branch, and a world record.
The figure was never prqperly ap
plied for as an A. A. U. mark, other
wise it would appear on the books
with the same time made by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team (Kauf
mann, Lockwood, Lippincott and Mer
edith) April 24, 1915. and today rec
ognized as the world's record for the
distance.
Just why the Stanford-California
people have not listed the Stanford
3:18 as their record has never been
explained. It was made on the old
"fish hook" turn track at Berkeley,
where so many great athletes per
formed, the same track on which
Howard Drew ran his century in
9 3-5, in 1914. The track has since
been eliminated.
It is Interesting to note that the
Lob Angeles high school has proved
Itself one of the greatest relay run
ning teams of the nation's schools.
Three national scholastic records are
held by this school, though only one
of them the one mile, four men Is
officially credited to the lean. This
one mile record was made In 1910 and
the time of 3:27 1-5 has never been
equaled by a scholastic relay team.
Last year. 1920, the same school
broke the 880-yard four-man relay
with new time of 1:30 3-5. eliminating
the former record of 1:32 2-5, held by
the Lewis institute and made at
.Northwestern university track. Chi
cago. May 23. 1903. The other Ios
Angeles record is MS 2 5 for the 440
yard, four-man relay, also made In
1920. This displaces the former mark
if :46 4-5 by University high, at Chi
cago, June 11, 1910.
That thee two records together
with the Stanford 3:18 are not offi
cially listed shows negligence on the
part of officials in not having official
sheets made out for recognition of
the records.

been the poorest in years. Earlier in
the fall a hot spell dried up most of
the small lakes. Then good weather
along the coast kept many ducks
from seeking shelter at the inland
lakes as only heavy storms drive
them In.
Then when the storms did come
they brought a flood and most of the
lakes around Portland were under
several feet of water. As soon as the
water began to recede and the
hunters felt a little easier, along
came the cold spell and froze uo
the hunting water.
Roger Newhall and several friends
who own a lake on Sauvies island two
miles north of Burlington said Sun
day's shoot was their poorest this
year. After a whole day of shooting
the party had to be content with less
than a dozen ducks for each hunter.
Besides Mr. Newhall the party In
cluded T. J. Mahoney. Dr. Ralnh
Davis. J. M. Russell. C. B. Murhard
and Dr. L. Dubois.
Combination License Sold.
For the seventh consecutive year
the first combination hunting and
fishing license has been sold by the
game warden's office to I. N. Fleisch
ner, member of the state game com
mission. Dr. E. C. McFarland drew
number 13. and Mrs. Beatrice Clark
bought the first hunting license for
the 1922 season.
According to F. M. Brown, chief
deputy game warden, duck hunting
will be prohibited after New Year's
to all nimrods not having a 1922
icense.
