TWO LETTERS TAKE PRIZE football team and has been n-med oo Walter Camp'a third team. Coach Wallis is not at all sure that Mc Millan will fin the Btroke slide, but will take a chance with the husk oarsman and footballist. More than 80 men turned out for fall rowing practice at California and Wallls has now ordered regular training to start on the Oakland es tuary Monday, January 16. This probably will be Wallls' last year of coaching. His private business was handicapped last year by coaching, and he now intends to make one last attempt to rebuild the crew before he finally pulls out. What rowing Is at the University of California to day Is due to Wallls. RECORD TRAP YEAR HI NORTHWEST SEEN Olio Fan of Hood River and An other From Washington Tell What They Expect. BT GEORGE COWNE. It seems to be open season for honor men. The Milwaukie boxing commission Instituted the honor sys tem last week by letting the boxing tans view the second encounter be tween Harry Wills and Bill Tate free of charge. Next Tuesday Wills boxes Sam Langford In the ten-round main event at Milwaukie, and there are etlll a few of the honor clan who figure they should be declared In on the fight for nothing.

When they try to cash them In for tickets for the bout next Tuesday they are greatly disappointed, for tne Milwaukie management declares one open house a season is enough. The boys will have to lay it on the line If they care to see Wills ana ua.ng lord do their stuff Tuesday night. Two of Gentry Prise Winners. However, a couple of out-of-town ringsiders take all prizes as honor men. Following the first Tate-wins fight, when it was announced that thev would fight over again to more satisfactory finish, and that those holding seat stubs could ex change them for new tickets, there was a grand stampede for the free seats. One gent from Hood River and another from a Washington town, however, couldn't reach Portland to rr.ake the exchange, so instead they wrote to the Milwaukie commission. The one from Hood Kiver wrote as follows: '1 see where Wills and Tate are going to fight over again for noth ing. Now I hold two seat stubs which cost me $11, and it is impossible for me to get to Portland for the second shew. I know ydu are willing to do what is right, so how about a refund on the tickets? I figure the first fight was worth about 75 per cent of what it actually cost me to see it, so if you will refund me 25 per cent of the price of my tickets I will be satisfied." The letter from the fight fan In Washington was direct and to the point. Here it is: "I paid $10 round-trip railroad fare to Portland, which, on top of a $2.20 ticket, set me back $12.20 to see the Wills-Tate match. Now I see where you are going to let all those holding seat checks for the first fight in for nothing to see the second bout. Maybe you think you can fool me into paying that $10 railroad fare again, but you are mistaken." A lot of devices are used by train ers of boxers to teach the green boys the science of the game, but Edward Hill, who has followed the boxing game for several years as manager and writer on Seattle and Tacoma papers, says he saw the prize winner the other day in Tacoma. Hill saw the new stunt pulled by Mark Shaughnessy, manager of Jack McAuliffe. who boxes Prank Farmer in Tacoma tonight. Evidently Jack isn't very good at ducking, so his manager had rigged up a contraption to save his protege from taking too many on the chin. The device consists of a broom handle nailed across the top of an open doorway. A tennis ball Is sua pended by a string from the broom handle. Then, with Jack on one side of the door and Mark on the other, they start work. The ball Is sus pended about chin high, and Shaugh nessy keeps the ball swinging back and forth. McAuliffe's Job is to keep from being hit in the face by the ball. By a change of pace and shooting jn tne ban from various angles, the manager Is able to land on Jack's nose, eyes and chin with regularity If a fighter has a rugged constitution a baseball might be substituted for the tennis hall. the police station range for the Chief Jenkins gold medal and the cham pionship of the department. An elimination tournament has been in progress for more than three weeks to determine the best two crack revolver shots In each depart ment and relief of the police force. The coppers have been practicing overtime in an effort to break into tha charmed circle of marksmen. The tournament has been open to all members of the force who have never competed in a national cham pionship. This ruling automatically barred Captain Moore, J. H. Young, R. II. Cr ad dock and L. K. Evans, all revolver shooters of national repute, and outstanding figures In many na tional target shooting events. Young, who Is instructor at the Portland po lice range, is the present champion of the United States, having won the title in last year's championship tournament. The representatives of the various departments and' reliefs who will compete in the finals, starting at 1 o'clock this afternoon, are as follows: Day relief Officers Harms and Nutter. First night relief Officers Reld and Smythe. , Second night relief Officers Kel- Iey and Arnold. Traffic department Sergeant Shad and Officer G. Kelly.

Then they will shoot it out for the chief's gold medal and the title, HEEIES-ULL STARS TO HE SOCCER TEAMS TO PLAY RE TURN GAMES SATURDAY. CRACK OARSMEN SCARCE OSLY TWO OF OLD CALIFORNIA TEAM RETURN'. Coach Wallls, Who Must Work Out Almost Entirely New Crew, Says He Is "Up Against It." SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 11. (Spe dal.) Of the phenomenal eight-oared crew that rowed the University of California Into second place at the Poughkeepsie regatta last year, only iwo men, .iicuiuan ana Brown, are tyick at college this year. Coach Wallls must work out practically an entire new crew. Whether this new California crew will row at Foueh keepsle this year depends on whether It can defeat the University of Wash ington eight at the coast regatta .ftp ni Li at Seattle. To use his own words, Wallls Is "desperate." "I am strictly up egainsi it. saia tne California coach "The great crew we had last year Is snot to pieces. .McMillan, who rowed No. 6 and will captain this year's crew, and Brown, who rowed No. 3, are the only veterans I have. I In tend to try out McMillan at stroke. He should do well at Larson's slide and if this works out I will bring Brown from No. 3 to No. 7. The other possibilities for a stroke oar are Peacock, last year's freshman stroke; Jacobus, who stroked last year's second varsity, and LaRue, one of, last year's freshmen who showed promise." Wallls Is distinctly worried, as Washington has several of last year's crew on which to build. Coach Loan, der has last year's victorious fresh man crew intact. California loses four men through graduation. Mee han, No. 7; Downs. No. 5; Marquard sen, No. 2, and Rogers, bow. Added . to these natural losses, Kemp, who held down No. 4, has transferred to Harvard university and entered the law school. Larson, who last year was probably, the greatest stroke oar California has ever had. Is still in college, but has transferred to the medical college In San Francisco, which will prevent his gblng out for the crew. McMillan. like Larson, last year was considered by eastern rowing ex perts to be one of the best oarsmen In the California boat. He Is the same Dan McMillan who has played right tackle on the California varsity College Men, if Victorious, May Meet Stanford University for Coa.st Honors Later in Month. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL LEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 11. (Special.) The Oregon Agricultural college soc cer team, northwest champions, will play a return game against the Port land All-Stars in Portland Saturday. The two teams played a 2-to-2 tie in Corvallis following two victories by the Oregon Aggies over the Univer sity of Oregon If the Aggies, coached by Charles Wilkshire. win from the All-Stars, a match may be played with Stanford university for coast honors later In the month. Stanford has played 25 games without defeat and is reported to have the strongest team ever de veloped in the south. The final line-up has not been de termined by Coach Wilkshire. but probably will consist of Merrifleld goal; Cifre, outside left; Hamid, in side left; Poole, Angel and Sweeney, halfbacks: Cummings and Cunning ham, fullbacks; Borgesen, Inside right; Seigle. outside right, and Davis, center forward.

Stoop, Pacific zone delegate, and applications con tinuing to arrive for registration of targets. Indications point to a record year in northwest trapshootlng cir cles. At the meeting of the Spokane Gun club today. President Stoop, who has charge of arranging the north west schedules, explained the co-ordi nating of dates from the opening tour nament at Portland in April to the big finale, the Pacific coast zone shoot at Portland in July. "Lewlston is having trouble getting dates for the annual tournament set." said Mr. Stoop. "Sid L. Dodds of Clarksdale, Miss., has asked that the American Trapshooters" association grant permission to hold no other shoot In the United States while he is staging a premier event with $4000 added money. We hops to convince the Mississippi shooter that the north west shoots would not affect the at tendance in Mississippi. Pendleton Dates Tentative. "Pendleton dates are tentative and may accept earlier dates In May. The dates for the Oregon state shoot at Bend have been temporarily set for June 9, 10 and 11, but aside from these the schedule Is practically complete. Yakima will without doubt stage the annual tournament, Seattle is to be' heard from and Vancouver will soon be after dates for the British Colum bia provincial tournament. Dates will have to be arranged that do not conriict with tournaments already set "Unprecedented interest in trap shooting is demonstrated In the northwest in the fact that if the shooter wishes he can keep traveling from shoot to shoot after the season opens without missing a week. Many Guns in Northwest. "The northwest has more trap shooters to its population than any other section of the United States. In every tne of the ehoots listed ex cellent prizes are offered. Shooters of the west enjoy shooting for money. Yakima last year inaugurated "the Yakima hundred" a 100-bird event with an entrance fee of $100. Twenty three shooters went down the line and the big stake was won by C. W. McDowell of the Spokane Gun club. his share being more than $700. A similar event was staged at Tacoma at the "zone shoot where 18 shooters put up $50 each and Robert Searles cf Seattle broke 100 straight and lugged away the big pot. These events will be staged again at the Washington state shoot at Spokane and the zone tournament In Portland. Eastern shooters are already looking to the west for thrills end stakes worth while."

Base ball men representing clubs all the way from the Pacific coast to Saskat chewan were here today to discuss plans for reorganizing the Western Canada league as an International loop. Bob Brown of Vancouver, B. C, carries with him the proxy of W. H. Klepper, president of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league, who it is understood, proposes to put a team in either Tacoma or Bellingham, Wash., for the new circuit. Mr. Klepper explained last night, as he has explained several times pre viously, that he has no Intention of putting a baseball team either into Tacoma or Bellingham, Wash., but that he has agreed to back a team In either of those cities to a limited fi nancial extent and to provide it with a good many players. His idea is that the team would make an excellent place to send his young ballplayers for development Tealy Raymond, old time Coast leaguer, who managed the Yakima club last season, will handle the reins if Klepper'a offer is accepted.

GAME FREE-FOR-ALL Simon's Store Quintet Forfeits Con test to Montgomery Ward. The basketball game between Mont gomery Ward and Simon's store at B'nai B'rith hall last night ended after about 12 minutes of play when the referee gave the decision to Alont gomery Ward. The game terminated suddenly when a free-for-all started. Simon's team left the floor and the game was forfeited to Montgomery Ward. The referee was Nathan Lake- fish. The game was rough while it lasted. The score was 5 to 3 for Montgomery Ward when the referee took action. It has been a long time coming, but at last the downward trend in prices has affected athletic and sporting goods. Substantial reductions In nearly all lines became effective this month, and the buyer of athletic fishing and hunting supplies already has noted a big difference In his bills. To begin with, the federal war tax of 10 per cent on athletic go ode went into the discard January 1, and that automatically lowered prices. But that was not all. On top of that the big manufacturers announced price reductions. The combination ot reductions plus amount saved on war tax has made a very welcome dent it the high cost of being an athlete. These reductions range from a straight 10 per cent to as high as 4 per cent, depending on the article. Leather goods in particular have taken a tumble because of the lower price of hides. Woolens, cottons and articles made wholly or partly of rubber also have dropped decidedly. In the case of woolens, such as sweat ers and Jerseys, bathing suits and the like, prices have been lowering grad ually for Borne time past, so the pres ent does not total so - much as In some other lines. Pre-War DnsU Not Iteached. Prices are not yet quite down to the pre-war standard, but they are reasonably close to it. Dealers say there is no chance of their dropping to the pre-war level unless labor costs should do the same. Skilled labor used In the production of athletic and sporting goodes, they explain, costs just about as much as ever, so that the present reductions are based only on the lower costs of materials. In the good old pre-war days every sand lot kid ball player referred to the official league baseball as the "dollar and a quarter ball," because $1.25 for years and years was its standard price. In. the last couple of years the old $1.25 ball has retailed at $2.50. Now the price has been lowered to $2. Mitts and gloves have dropped ac cordingly. For instance, a catcher's mitt, selling for $20 two weeks ago, now is $15 to $16.50. A professional leaguer's first base mitt, selling for $14 or thereabouts, has settled to $10. Fielders' gloves, which were $12 for the kind league ball players use, are now $8. The Intermediate grades of balls, mitts and gloves have been reduced in the same ratio. (glf Ball Dive. per cent reduction, which means a cut of approximately 20 per cent to the sportsman. The war tax has been lifted off rods and reels as on other lines. There was no war tax on tackle. Shotguns, rifles and ammunition all have been reduced by the factories but the actual cut on the price of guns has not yet been announced by the makers. However, sporting goods dealers are looking for a substantial reduction. Several months ago the dealers on their own hook marked down all makes of guns In their stocks. The war tax remains on guns and ammunition. The cut In prices for various types (of ammunition as an nounced by the factories raneres about as follows: Shotgun shells, average. 14 per cent': metallic cartridges. 3 Der cent; rimfire cartridges. 7 per cent Trapshootrr Make Saving. Thl gives an average factory cut on ammunition prices of about 8 per cent, though it s 14 per cent for popular ammunition like shotgun shells. The trapshooter, for example, will save 14 per cent Just as matters stand on his ammunition bills at the trans, quite an Item. The 10 per cent war tax also re mains on hunting clothes and knives, although there has been a 10 per cent or more reduction by the factories for these commodities, and a like cut-by the dealers. "I expect notice of reductions In the price of firearms almost any day now," said Walter F. Knckus of Backus & Morris. "A slashing re duction is necessary, for there has been little buying of guns and rifles in the last year or two as compared witn previous seasons. They are altogether too high, and I am satisfied the factories are coming through with a big cut. "We took the Initiative ourselves several months ago and all dealers agreed on a drastic cut on guns and rifles to stimulate buying. Naturally we were forced to bear all the loss. Now the factories have awakened to the situation and will do their bit." mm TRIO HEARD BY MR 1 II Ml Testimony and Affidavits Up- hold Amateur Status.

How long may a player on the court, who is not closely guarded, hold the ball without violating the rules? . A. Indefinitely. Q. "What must be the position of the feet ot the two players when Jumping- in the center? A. In the amateur game both men must have both feet In the center circle. In the professional game each, man who Is to Jump must toe a line with his forward foot. These lines are 12 inches long and 3 feet apart. Q. In the amateur rules does a player commit a foul If, when in the act of pass ing a ball in from out of bounds, he steps on or over the line? A No, but the ball is then given to the opposing team, aa out of bounds at tbs spot he atepped on or over the line. Q. If by mistake or accident a player throws the ball Into his opponent's goal, does this count for a goal by opponents? A. Yes, In both the amateur and pro fessional game Golf baits have taken a decided dive. For the best balls the reduc tion is 25 per cent and is as .high as 33 1-3 per cent on the Inferior grades. The standard dollar ball, for ex ample, is now 75 cents. The old 75- cent ball is now 50 cents, and so on. Golf clubs also have dropped, but the decrease Is much less than for the balls. It ranges from 10 to 20 per cent, according to the. maker. Clubs retailing recently at $6 are now $5 to $5.50, Irons selling at $5 now are priced at $4 to $4.50. "Golf clubs and Irons have de creased so much less than golf balls," explained Walter Nash, manager of the Portland branch of A.-G. Spalding & Bros., "because of the scarcity of shafts. The best shafts are made of second growth hickory, which is su perior to all other woods because it is light, yet tough and springy. Oak cannot be used as it is heavy and has no give and spring. The demand for second-growth hickory so far exceeds the supply that for the last two years we have been unable to supply golf professionals with selected shafts. The situation is some better now, but not enough so to warrant a very large reduction." Athletic .Shoes Qrop. Athletic shoes of all kinds have dropped decidedly. The professional baseball player, who is required to furnish his own shoes, though the club provides his uniform, will be pleased at this reduction. "The best baseball shoes, which were $21, now sell for $16, which is quite a saving for the athlete." said George B. Henselman. manager of the athletic department at the Honeyman Hardware company, jobber in this ter ritory for Wright & Ditson goods. "Ail leather goods have' fallen de cidedly.

The Oregon association recently made the ruling that member schools cannot employ paid athletic coaches or compete with teams employing paid athletic coaches. The ruling was opposed by Portland school officials, who announced through the prfss that rather than comply with the rule, they would confine their athletic relations to the Portland schools and Washington high schools. "If the Portland coaches think they can use the Washington schools to whip the Oregon schools into line, we want to know it," writes Mr. Johnson.

Although Mr. Wakeman declined to say what his decision will be as to Craig and Smith, he did make the fol lowing comment: "I did not think Wapato would say he did not take money to coach foot ball at Lincoln high school.

Mr. wakeman declared that ht had never pronounced the men profes sional, but had merely held up the issuance ot tneir amateur cards until he could thoroughly investigate their cases. He add.-d: "The application of all three men for cards came In too late last week for me to do any Investigating be fore the club game with Oregon, and as there was some doubt in my mind as to their eligibility at the time, there was nothing for me to do but refuse them crds. I will go over all three cases as presented to me last nlRlit and will make a decision be fore the next club basketball game, which will be Saturday night against Whitman." K.ianrratlnn In Kxpet-trd.
