The bout might tro only one round and It might go ten, but Har-y will be In "there very minute trying to put Mr. Tate away," said Paddy Mulllns, Wills' astute manager, yesterday afternoon. With a match with Jack Dempsey as an ultimate goal Wills can HI afford to blow against Tat this afternoon at Milwaukle. He is In his best con dition for more than a year. Fur thermore, he has little use for Tate. But I guess that Is mutual to them." Howard Carr, better known In the world of fistanla as Kid Howard, who looks after the managerial reins of Bill Tate, Is as confident that his man will prove the victor as Mullins la his. Carr said last night, "I wouldn't have made the trip clear out here from Chicago to ee Wills beat Tate. Tate has always been a better man than Wills and Harry knows It. Wills has never beaten Tate by fair means. He always re sorts to any tactics to put over a win. The way he fought Tate in Denver was a disgrace. He threw Tate out of the ring and many of his blows to the body were mighty low. Any other referee but the one that was In the ring that night would have disqualified Wills early in the fight." So the matter rests. Neither of the principals had any remarks to make except that they were going to battle and battle their best. Battle Bventfnl One. Today's battle will mark the most eventful one staged in Oregon since the advenro'f the ten-round law sev eral years ago. The local fans have seen some good boxers in action, several champions, and some mighty good fights, but never anything that ranked in importance to the match to be held this afternoon. Touted by many critics as the greatest heavy weight In the world, Harry Wills has to make good against Tate. They have fought before, but the eyes of the world were not on the battle. Wills and Dempsey are now men tioned most frequently as the next pair to battle for the world's title. There are no white heavyweights in the lists who figure to give Dempsey half the battle that Wills does. The public knows It and Jack knows it. Within the next month Dempsey's next opponent will be named. Itick ard seems to have set upon Fred Fulton, but will the fans stand for it? Dempsey beat Fulton with ease when he was a novice compared to what he is now. And certainly Fulton lias not improved any since then. And Wills had little more trouble, than Dempsey stowing Fulton away. Four Preliminaries Slated. The two giants will weign in this morning at 10 o'clock at tha Olympic gymnasium. Four excellent preliminaries will precede tbe main event. They are as follows: Freddie Anderson versus Charley Dawson, 140 pounds, six rounds; Willie St. Clair versus Muff Bronson, 139 pounds, six rounds; Bat tling Barnes versus Tim Callahan, 13S pounds, four rounds, and a four round curtain raiser.

Ted Thyp. wrestling instructor at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, and lion Ruben, ChicHgo mid dleweight, will meet Wednesday night on the mat at the Heilig thea-tf-r. The advertising bills say it's go ing to be a wrestling match. Most pf the fans are inolined to believe it will be a first-class rough - house. Neither Thye nor Reuben care much for formalities and they will, stand for anything short of brass knuckles. Reuben gave out his statement re garding the match yesterday. "I'm not strong hn statements." he said, "and prefer to let my mat work speak foe itself. I will say that t traveled a l"ng way to tackle Thye and wouldn't be here If I didn't think I could beat him. His fine record proves him a hard man to handle--but I have met others. Whatever the result, Thye. will know he has had a real match, and the spectators will te satisfied that they nave seen one.

East vs. West Battle to Start at 2:15 o'Clock Today, Rain or , Shine, it s Announced. PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 1. The sun hid today, the darkened skies letting down somewhat less than a quarter of an inch of rain, thereby dampening the heavy turf tournament park into a fast field for the annual east-vs.-wet football game to be played here to morrow by Washington and Jefferson college of Washington, Pa., and the University of California of Berkeley. The game is billed for 2:15 o'clock to morrow, rain or shine, it was an nounced by players as well as tourna ment officials. Elation rather than dampening of ardor was quite noticeable among the eastern players and their supporters and the suggestion was made that it would be quite In their favor insofar as possibly retarding the offensive plays 6f the California Bears, indi cations were that there would be rain tomorrow. All the squadmen from both colleges were reported in prime condition, no ill effects from the weather being re ported from either hotel In which the squads were resting up for the grid battle tomorrow. There has been no practice on the field and it is of heavy turf. The only soft spots are the usual kick off points. Field officials said it would take an excessive downpour to change the heavy turf from a fast field to a soft one. Indications tonight were that the line-up would be as follows: W. and J. U. of C.

WESTERN FUEL m m PAin muni unn un i niu uunun IS HELD DETRIMENT Country Schools Will Suffer, , Avers Quigley. PORTLAND NOT AFFECTED Employment of Professional Men tors for High Schools Said to Insure Support by Students. Action of the Oregon Athletic High School association in prohibiting any of its members from employing a pro fessional athletic coach will not af fect the Portland schools that have paid coaches, who are not members of the faculty, according to Harold Quigley, Jefferson high school coach. "In the first places the Portland public school league is rfot a member of the Oregon athletic high school association," saia Mr. Quigley, "and secondly, our high schools can afford to acquire good coaches. Although they always give a factulty member the preference, yet when no expert enced coach can be found in the fac ulty the school will go the limit to get a good professional coach." "The students in Portland have been supporting their teams well and have turned out in large numbers to witness the contests in which their schools. participated. Unless the team can get results.however.it cannot ex pect the students to support it, and after all, the games are played for the benefit of the students. Commerce School Example. "Take Commerce, for example," said the Jefferson mentor. "The Steno raphers did not have anybody on the iacuicy woo could coacn rooioan. in stead of making a fizzle of the whole affair by letting one of the students coach the eleven. Commerce did its best In securing a paid, professional coach and got results. ( "Of course, the other high school coaches may differ with me, said Mr. Quigley, "but I can't see any wrong in employing professional football coaches. I think that the small country schools will suffer most. In every little town there is some business man who at one time or another played on an intercolle giate team. He would be willing to spend part of his time only coaching a team for pay. but as he is not avail able on account of the new ruling, where wUl the small schools get their coaches? Ruling Is Regretted. The small towns can't afford to get an experienced man to coach their teams and at the same time teach school. A teacher's salary is none too large as It Is, and any foot ball star of note is offered such flat terlng offers from big city schools that the small towns are no attrac tlon for him. "As for Columbia" university al though the state athletic association barred the school, Jefferson has a basketball ganlfe scheduled with it for this week and it intends to play the preppers." "I am sorry that we 'cannot play the outside high schools in the state because we are not members of the association," eaid Dr. W. A. Fenster macher, Washington high school coach. "However, we have plenty of city competition and can also get games with all the Washington high schools. As the outside schools can not play our schools because we are not registered, I don't really know how that will affect the state inter scholastic basketball championships to he played in Salem in March." GOLF IS M M HI GAME TAKES ON REAL FOOT BALL ATMOSPHERE. Army and Navy-Polo Contest Is Fine Example of Row Down pour Can Destroy Interest. f Of the outdoor competitive land sports, football and golf are the two frame which seem least affected by rainy weather. Football is played without consideration for weather conditions. While there is no Ques tion-that rain detracts from the spectacular value of the game, grid Iron contests can be played In verita ble downpours, and one seldom hears of a game postponed. It is getting to be much the came with golf. Recently In San Francisco, Jock Hutchinson and Jim Barnes played a foursome aainst a couple of local professionals. There was a rain beating down most of the time while a 40-mile gale prevented most" of the gallery from using the umbrellas 'hey brought with them. While these conditions , prevented anything like perfect play, your dyed- in-the-wool golf fan probably got just as much fun watching the men go through their paces as they would have done on a good day. It was In teresting to the student of .golf to see what experts eould do playing against the greatest of hazards the wind. Baseb'all and tennis, also polo, are games that cannot stand up under a bombardment of rain. The footing becomes too precarious. In polo it is a danger not only to limb, but for the- ife of the player if a horse falls. It is costly in tennis for the reason that gut tennis rackets are ruined. Also, the wetting of the gut loosens the stringing and destroys the value of the racket. In football one frequently hears it said that in the event of rain, 'this or i that team wili be most affected. While there is perhaps some reason j for this comment, as a rule It is bosh USaVgBBWUtWlWg $11.00 Ton CO. 287 E. Morrison Phone East 2226 COAL What detracts from the playing abil ity of one team, generally speaking, has precisely the same effect on the other. Precarious footing makes the I going just jta difficult lor one man as another. A slippery ball has to be handled by- all the parties concerned, and it is no less slippery for one than another. The last game played on the polo grounds In New York between the teams of the Army and Navy was a good example of how a wet and slip pery field can ruin a good game. Under good conditions this contest would have been one of the greatest ever played. Both teams had bril liant running backs. But in many instances what appeared like an open field went -for naught because the runner would lose his footing and get smothered by the opposing tak lers. It was not long before the 22 play ers became animated mudballs, and there wasn't the remotest chance of distinguishing who was who. When a substitute was put intothe game he stood out in his clean bright uni form like a sparkling gem. Gradu ally he would become submerged and within ten minutes would be lost to sight. PORTLAND BOATS TO HIE LOCAL CLUB PLANS ENTRY AT CHICAGO IN JULY. Members Certain They Have Two Ships in 323 Class That Will Win National Championships. If present plans of the Portland Motorboat club are carried out Port land will be represented at the na tional championship races for speed shins of various piston displacement, which will be staged in Chicago next summer. The Portland club boasts of some of the fastest boats in certain classes in' the country. The marks recorded by' craft owned -by the club memoers compared favorably with those made by the fastest boats in the Mississippi Valley Power Boat association or any other place. Members of the Portland Motor- boat club are firmly convinced that they have at least two and possibly three ships in the 325 class that could go to Chicago and clean up. It has been pointed out that it would not cost a great deal to make the entry and place the boats in Chicago. The event will be staged some time in July. It is thought that the freight charges on shipping the boats to Chi cago would be borne in large part by the American Power Boat association. under whose auspices the national championships are held. If this is so it is almost a certainty that two Portland speedsters will be entered in the lists. The question will be considered thoroughly at the annual election meeting of the Portland Motorboat elub, which will be held on the night of January 9. Olympic Soccer Team Wins. CHICAGO, Jan. 1.

The Junior league leaders continued to win their games by large scores and are considered two of the best junior quintets assembled in the city for several years. The Arleta team had little trouble in defeating the Kenilworth five by a large score, while the Amicus team handed the Albina juniors a set back also by a large score. Each team has one more game on its schedule before they are scheduled to meet in what is expected to be the championship battle. x Both the Junior league leaders will be seen In action this week wherrthe Arleta Juniors meet the Stephens Ath letic club tonight on the Franklin high school floor and the Amicus club will clash with the Albina Stores quintet tomorrow night on the Holli day school floor.

This game should result In an easy victory for Simons as the Hard ware boys have a team of inexperi enced players, while Simons have a quintet of well-known players, who have been playing around Portland for several years.

Breitling, Spinologist. 1 MRS, Q. N. METZGEO. Mrs. Q. N. Metzger of Gresham, Or., had both legs paralyzed and suffered excruciating pain after the arrival of the etork, February 5. 1921. The family doctor, assisted by noted physicians, failed to relieve her suf fering. Her mother heard from friends that Dr. George S. Breitling, the well known chiropracter and spinologist, with offices at 609-614 Broadway building, had successfully treated with his adjustments what had been considered incurable cases. Mrs. Metzger was '.aScen in a wheel chair to Dr. Breitling's office and in her own words, she thus describes her experience: "Without telling the doctor the cause or location of my suffering, he, after a careful examination of my spine, stated that my pelvis and lumbar bones were twisted, thereby causing the paralysis of the nerves in my legs. After three scientific adjustments with his hands the pain was gone and with adjustments cov ering a period of six weeks i I was able to walk unassisted and permitted to go home. At the present time I am strong enough to do all of my housework, with no indications of former suffering. Thanks to Dr. Breitling." v This is only one of many hundred out-of-the-ordinary cases success fully treated by Dr. Breitling when others failed, and no matter what your trouble may be see him: prob ably he can do for you what Tie has done for others.
