THE MOUSING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1D21
GlTY-OWniED STADIA
HELD SURE 10 COME
Municipal Golf Links Are
Cited as Example.
PROJECTS ARE BROACHED
SiM-ruiiKMilo and Pan Francisco
Have Hinted Tliclr Desire to
Have Such Structures.
BY KRAXKT.IN B. MORSK.
With the increasing number of mu
nicipal KOlf links all over the coun
try the question arises, why should
not the cities have their municipal
stadiums?
1'ractlcally all cities of the first
and second class, on occasions during
the year, have need for some place
where they may stage some big ath
letic event. Lacking the facilities, the
event is staged In some city wnere
the crowds can be accommodated. At
thn nrestnt time the stadia all are
nrlvatelv owned, either by the varl
tis universities, or major league
baseball teams.
J.et us take the case of New Tork
Burlnsr the last football season a
number of important games were
played there by teams from the out
side. For instance, 1'enn State played
anainst Georgia Tech, and the Navy
battled the Armv. Koth these games
were held at the I'olo grounds, the
home of the New York Uiants of the
National league.
Had New York owned a great mu
nicipal stadium, the city itself might
have been host to the great crowds
that attended these games. Such a
structure, municipally owned, would
attract many events, and draw thou
sands of persons. Whether or not it
would be a paying investment is a
question that only could be deter
mined by looking Into the matter.
The writer remembers that when
the question first came up of build
ing a municipal golf course in New
York, the city fathers were dead set
BKaiust It because they said there
were not enough golfers to make it
worth while. They were told that
there would be plenty of them if they
bad a chunce to play somewhere. The
fact lhat there was no place to play
was the reason golfeis were not being
developed. Now New York has either
four or five municipal links and is
in need of another.
San Francisco and Sacramento both
have said something in connection
with owning Btadiums. Thus far it is
merely a hint. Nothing hus been
done, "but there Is no reason why the
idea should not crystallize. A stadium
mav be used for practically every
jipo'rt in the calendar except golf. In
the fall it can be used for football.
Provided with a track, it can stage big
track and field meets. It can be con
verted so as to stage en International
tennis meet, polo meet, or a worlds
series basball games.
It does not seem improbable that,
within the near future, municipalities
will look into the ros and cons of
stadium building.
HANSEN PICKED TO
FA KM Ell RUKXS SAYS WKES
TI.EK COMING CHAMP.
Famous Bone Crusher Who De

Asplrunt Fuller, Ills Wing.
OMAQA, Neb.. Dec. 23. (Special )
Old tanner tsurns. ine lamuuo Biap
uler. who has wrestled 6U00 times and
lust but seven matches, has discovered
t, new worlds champion or rather
Farmer Burns is developing a new
world's chunipion.
Farmer Burns picked up Frank
Gotch, an unknown Iowa farm hand,
and made him champion of the world.
Now the farmer has another farm
band and says he will develop a new
champion.
.The farmer's new "find" is Charley
Hansen. Burns found him working
In a lumber camp in Poure Coupe. B.
1'., il( miles from a railroad. That
was something more than two years
ago. Burns hus been training and
developing him off and on ever since
he saw him making railroad cross ties
with an adz. On December 10 Hansen
went up against Stanislaus Zbyszko,
the world's champion, at Nashville
and stayed in the ring with Zbyszko
for three hours, until the referee
called off the match because it was
jnidniglit.
"Next time Hansen wrestles Stanis
laus Zbyszko lie's going to throw
that champion," says Farmer Burns.
"Hansen is the only man except
Frank Gotch to whom 1 ever gave
the 'Inside stuff 1 deveToped in my
half-century of wrestling." says
Farmer burns. "I taught those things
to Frank. Gotch and they made him
the world champion. 1 have taught
them to Hansen and they will make
Hansen the world champion.
"In some ways Hansen is stronger
than Gotch. Stanislaus Zbyszko was
thrown on his two shoulders but once
In all his career and that was by
Gotch. But in three hours at Nash
ville he was unable to throw Hansen.
Yet Zbyszko has thrown Joe Stechef
twice, Strangler Lewis twice, l'esek
Karl Caddock and all the rest of the
big fellows."
Hansen was born on a farm neaf
t'rookston, Minn. He is 29 years old,
S feet 1UH Inches tall, weighs
pounds now and Farmer Burns says
he will weigh 200 soon. He moved
to British Columbia some years ago
and toolrf up a homestead. To keep
things going until bis farm became
valuable Hansen went to work in the
lumber camps.
As a wnestler Hansen gained con
siderable Buccess among the other
lumber jacks. Then he wrote Farmer
Burns in Omaha and asked Burns
about training him.
Burns was delighted with, Ijansen.
But Hansen had no money upon which
to live while he was being made into
a professional wrestler. So he got a
job as an ordinary day laborer and
for two years or so worked as a car
penter, a painter, a cook or anything
else be could get to do.
And all the time old Farmer Burns
was driving his "tricks" Into the
younger fellow's head. He was train
ing his muscles, his mind and his
heart.
"Hansen is on the level; he doesn't
chew, smoke, drink or swear, says
Farmer Burns. "He is the coming
American champion.
"I am going to continue training
Iiiin and I will make' him throw
Zbyszko and all the rest of Ahe cham
pions before I'll say he Is the finished
article."

COURAGE NEEDED IN GOLF
QCIET OF COURSE DECLARED
STRAIN' TO SPIRITS.
Fan Says Lack of Excitement
and Physical Contact Also
Weighs on Mind.
Followers of that exhilarating
sport, ice hockey, say that they have
proved to their satisfaction that this
game requires more nerve and game
ness to p'ay than any other form of
competitive sport.
Attention Is called to the fact that
Ice hockey jo so fast that many spec
tators do not realize the danger
which confronts every player as he
speeds u and down- the Ice, skating
in and around the opposition, banging
into the boards, colliding with oppo
nents and always running the chance
of being injured by hickory sticks or
razor-edged skates. ,
The football player, the po!o player
and the prize-ring man have their
supporters, but it remains for a mod
est and unassuming champion of the
game of golf to step into the breach
and claim the distinction for the ven
erable Scottish game. Let us call
him John Smith, golfer. There are
many of him and we all know him,
hence the value of his contention.
He says:
"Nerve and gameness? Let us see
why golfers should be highly en
dowed with these attributes, perhaps
more so than those of any other
sport, and this without In the least
belittling the courage necessary to
play any of the games mentioned.
especially where physical contact is
necessary, .
"In polo, hockey and football there
Is the exhilaration of swift action,
the shouting crowds, 'the color, the
excitement. Hurts count for little.
It is well known that In the excite
ment of battle a soldier has had a
finger or even a hand shot off. an
has not been sensible of any pain I
unui long arierwara.
"It Is different In golf. There Is I
stillness while the golfer, alone,
stands and contemplates the possi
bilities of the shot he is to make.
He has no teammates to rally about
him. His Is a spiritual rather than
physical courage. He is battling
against himself as well as his oppo
nent. On final analysis courage in
golf Is akin to that necessary tocet
out of a warm bed in the dead of a
cold night and walk the baby. Al
ways the golfer must hold his morale.
"Granting there Is no physical con
tact In golf, and therefore less of
physical courage needed, the golfer
must be endowed with a greater
mental or moral courage which, after
all. is a greater standard of nerve
and gameness than mere physical
gameness, aided and abetted by the
excitement of the moment." I
800 Students In Princeton Gym.
The extent to which Princeton un
dergraduates are taking up winter
sports was shown recently when some
one with a keen sense for statistics
discovered that 800 lockers in the
gymnasium were in use that is, 800
students were exercising upstairs on
the main floor or running track at the
same time.
For the last two years facilities for
Indoor sports here have been too small
ana tne oasKetDaii teams are com
pelled on certain days of the week to
practice at night to make way for
other sports. During the afternoon
three courts are filled with teams of
enthusiastic lovers of basketball who
are not, however, sufficiently expert
to qualify for the varsity or freshman
squad.

ERIFITHS TO GET
Cfi ti in
Battle Signed for Newark on
January 9.
TRAMBITAS MET TODAY
Tough Fight Expected by Akron"!
Welter in His Battle With
Alex at Armory.
BY DICK SHARP.
Johnny Griffiths, sensational Akron
(O.) welterweight, who will battle
with Alex Trambitas in the ten-round
main event of this afternoon's card at
the armory, will get his tenth crack
at the welterweight champion. Jack
tsritton, next month.
Griffiths received a telegram from
his manager, Tommy Walsh, yester
day to the effect that he had closed
for Johnny to battle Britton 12 rounds
in Newark January 9. It will be a
no-decislon mill, but Griffiths will try
to fight his way into a 15-round deci
sion match with Britton In New York.
Then too he has a chance of stowing
the champion away. Uritton is not
the Jack Britton of old and is said
to be fast losing his desire to battle.
On the other hand, Griffiths is hitting
harder than at any other time during
his career. ' When Britton was at his
best he was unable to outclass Grif
fiths enough to gain a decision, but
once In their nine meetings.
Excellent Chance Figured.
With Britton admittedly on the to
boggan and Griffiths smashing with
both hands, he figures that he has an
excellent chance to Jar Jack's crown
loose.
In the meantime Griffiths has a
more pressing engagement on his
books. He expects one of the tough
est fights of his career this afternoon
when he faces Trambitas.
When Griffiths was matched to box
Alex in Memphis Varly in December
he took pains to look up the young
Portland welterweight's record and.
needless to say, was greatly im
pressed by the youngsters easy victo
ries over jonnny unman, Harvey
Thorp and other well-known eastern
fighters.
And then Tommy "Walsh has seen
Trambitas In action. Tommy once
went on record with the statement
that he thought Alex was one of the
best looking fistic prospects in the
ring today. So, all in all, Griffiths
has good reason to forget about Jack
Britton for the moment.
(.rirrlth Worki Out.
Griffiths worked 13 hard rounds
at the Olympic gym yesterday after
noon. ' He took on two sparring part
ners and after battering them around
for a few rounds apiece took a flyer
at the sandbag and striking bag. He
worked up a healthy sweat and said
that most of the kinks in his system
as the result of his train ride from 1
Akron, O., were ironed out.
Trambitas indulged in a final work-
out at tne London ,.iub. iark Fable
pronounced his protege In the prov-
ermal pink. Alex Is in as good a
shape as he has ever been in his ca
ireer," said Fahie. "He will go after
Griffiths from the first round and, of
course, expects to win."
Those who were on hand at the
Olympic gym to watch Griffiths left
with the Impression that Alex was
going to have a man-sized Job cut
out for him. In fact, they voiced
their opinion freely that Trambitas
would be exceedingly fortunate not to
come out on the short end of the
score.
(irlrritHV .Method Peculiar.
Griffiths Is a slashing two-Jianded
fighter. He has a peculiar method of
infighting that makes him as danger,
ous at close quarters as at long dis
tance. His opponent will have a hard
time figuring out which way to battle.
The going is bound to be rough either
way. Griffiths didn't let his punches
go yesterday, but even pulling them
the boys who worked with him were
"shot" In two rounds.
Trambitas and Griffiths will weigh
in at 10 o'clock at the armory.
The remainder of the card is: Pete
Mitchie vs. Mickey Hunon, Kddie Gor
man vs. Niel Zimmerman, Jack Davis
vs. Iver Svendberg and Dick Simons
vs. Jack rtose. the card will get
under way at 2 o'clock
The armory
will be well heated for the occasion.

THYE TD MEET
WRESTLING MATCH ARRANGED
FOR, JANUARY 4.
Jack Rout ledge, Who Is Promoting
Shows This Winter, Has Had
Hard Time Billing Stars.
Ted Thye and Ben Reuben have been
signed to wrestle the main event at
the next wrestling show which will be
held at the Heilig theater on Wednes
day nignt, January 4. Jack Routledge,
who is promoting the wrestling shows
this season, has had difficulty in land
ing these two stellar mat men. The
grappling fans have been anxious to
see Reuben in action again since he
made such a favorable showing against
Walter Miller, the middleweight cham
pion, several weeks ago. Houtledge
has been dickering with Thye ever
since Reuben has been In town and
it was not until the other day that
Thye decided to meet the Chicago boy.
This is the second show that Rout-
ledge has promoted and In all prob
ability will be an improvement on the
first one. The fans who follow the
limb-twisters have not seen Thye in
action here for over a year. Thye has
always been a favorite among the
Wrestling fraternity on account of his
aggressive style on the mat. Reuber.
made a big hit here in his initial ap
pearance and should put up a great
match with Thye. Reuben made the
trip from Chicago with the sole pur
pose of meeting Thye. According to
Heuben, Thye is rated pretty high in
the east and Reuben is out to meet
and beat all the top-notchers his
weight.
The best two of three falls will de
cide the match or In case there are no
falls a decision will be rendered at
the end of two hours. The match be
tween Reuben and Miller went to a
decision with the champion retaining
his crown by a hair-line decision.
There were many present who thought
the match could have been called a
draw without hurting either grappler,
but the rules under which they wres
tled called for a decision and as Miller
had a slight edge on aggressiveness
he was given the call. Heuben, how
ever, did not lose any prestige by
dropping the decision to Miller, as the
match was about a toss-up.
There will be two preliminaries on
the card January 4. Oscar Butler,
Portland middleweight, has signed to
wrestle in the semi-wind-up. which
will go to a 30-minute decision. There
will also be one 15-minute prelimi
nary. ALL-STARS BEATS CLATSKAN'IE

In the Junior league the race is
getting tighter with two teams tied

more hard games on their schedule
the fans are assured of some fast con
tests. Tonight the Arleta Juniors meet

LAFAYETTE, Tnd.. Dec. 25. Pur
due university will be ready In an
other year or two to retrieve its pres
tige on the ridiron. This is the opin
ion of athletic authorities here. Al
though the number of games won this
season was disappoint ing, followers
were cheered by the fighting spirit,
which they declare was characteristic
of boilermaker teams of a decade ao,
but which has been noticeably absent
in recent years.
William H. Dietz, who coached the
team, has not yet been re-enRajfed,
but his work was considered satisfac
tory by the athletic authorities, and it
seems certain he will be asked to take
charge of the su,uad again next
