BY DICK SHARP.
"Wills Is going: In to win and win
In the least possible time. 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.

"and prefer to let my mat work speak

FIELD FUST FOR GAME

AXD J. AXD CALIFORNIA
ALL SKT FOR CONTEST.
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:

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

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.

over the Meier & Frank quintet. The
Simons team showed a great improve
ment over its opening game and from
present indications may prove a
stumbling block for the league
leaders.
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

will clash with the Albina Stores
quintet tomorrow night on the Holli

In the Commercial league only one
game will be played this week be
tween the Honeyman Hardware com
pany tossers and Simons store on the
B'nal B'rith floor next Wednesday
night. This game should result In an
easy victory for Simons as the Hard

have been playing around Portland
for several years.
LEONARD TO DEFEND TITLE
CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT WITH
PINKY MITCHELL TODAY.
Challenger to Attempt to Avenge
Defeat of Brother Ritchie Ca
. pacity Crowd Assured.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 1. Benny
Leonard, world's lightweight cham
pion, will defend his honors here to
morrow against Pinky Mitchell, an
ex-Milwaukee high school boy, in
what promises to be the most im
portant contest for the titleholder In
a year.
The contest is to go ten rounds
and. In accordance with the Wiscon
sin law, no decision will be given if
both men are on their feet at the
finish. The matchias attracted tre
mendous interest and a capacity
crowd is assured. All the seats were
sold 24 hours ago. The gate receipts
will hit the $11,000 mark.
Leonard will receive a guarantee of
$15,000, with a privilege of a per
centage, while Mitchell, who will re
ceive a percentage, probably win
drawn down about $11,000.
Leonard has twice knocked out
Pinky's brother, Richie Mitchell, who
aspired to the championship. The
younger Mitchell, regarded as one of
the best 135-pound boxers developed
in the west in recent years, is de
termined to avenge those two defeats.

Mrs. Q. N. Metzger Is Re

Geo. S. Breitling,
Spinologist.

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. Adv
