HOOP TRIPLE-HEADER.
Montgomery Ward Tie for Com
mercial Championship and
Franklin Defeats Arlcta.
In a basketball triple-header at
Franklin High school last night,
which started at 7.15 o'clock, and d"ld
not end until 11 o'clock, the Amicus
club won the championship of the
Junior league by beating the Arleta
Juniors, 14 to 13; Montgomery Ward
tied for the championship of the Com
mercial league, with Lang & Co., by
rosing out Simons, 26 to 23. and
Franklin high walloped the Arleta
first team in a return game, 36 to 12.
The Simons and Montgomery Ward
quintets put up the snappiest game
of the night, with Simons leading all
the way until the last four minutes
of play. In those four minutes, the
Lang team made three baskets in suc
cession and won the game. Simons
lost many points on fouls. Gus Clerin
of the winners' converting seven of
them.
In the second game Arleta led the
Amicus club. 12 to 8, at the end of
the first half. In the second half,
however. Amicus took a brace and
scored three baskets In a row. Cap
tain King of Amicus shot the third
basket, 'which put his team in the
lead and won the game, just two
minutes before time was called. This
game winds up the schedule of the
junior league.
J.n the final game of the evening
Franklin had things her own way at
all times. Vic Kelly and East shot
five baskets apiece for Franklin, and
Slade, their teammate, made a couple
of btauliful running shots from the
center of the floor.
Arleta seemed weak at checking,
and time and again the Franklin for
wards broke through its defense. Ar
leta probably was suffering from
over-confidence, for the last time the
two teams met Arlcta gave Franklin

of Illinol. track men made the trip, and
it ha, onee more been asked to meet the
Cahturnians. April 8 being the date. If
Illinois is unable to come some other
team will be invited, with Wisconsin men
tioned as a possibility.
The California track schedule as an
nounced by Graduate Manager Nichols
follows:

Recognition of swimming by the Pacific
coast conference colleges has already had
a beneficial effect. For the first time
college of the Pacific northwest are ar
ranging dual meets and they will also
enter teams in the first Pacific coast
conference swimming championship at
Stanford in April.
The University of Washington Is per
fecting plants for the season and has
definitely uecided on a dual meet with
Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallls.
At present swimming is on the "minor
sports" list at Washington, but In due
cotlrse it is bound to graduate to the
major sports list. Just as at California and
Stanford.
.
The University of Washington eight
oared crew, which will row California In
April for the Pacific coast college cham
pionship, will be the heaviest crew that
ever rowed for Washington Zeke Clark,
the heaviest man In the boat, tipping the
scales at -02 pounds. Bob Ingram, the
heaviest man of last year's ere, will
again be In the boat. He weighs 112
pounds. Sam haw of last year's crew
and Fred puhn of last year's freshmen,
both weigh 1 pounds.
The crew this year will be stroked by
Mike Murphy, who also will captain the
eight. Kowland Franc. .Clarence Ma
nusson and Dinty Moore are other veterans
baek at college. With six veterans of last
year back In the slides and the fact that
this crew was only defeated by five feet
by California, the Washington prospects
are exceptionally good. The crew has a
still further advantage over California this
year in the fact Uiat the race will be
rowed over the Waahingtonlaa'a own
course at Seattle.
KAYO FOR UffiFOHD
OBWILLS PREDICTED
Sam Quite Certain It Will Not
Be He.
HARRY GETS BID EAST
Victory Imperative for Opponent
of Veteran If He Expects to
Accept Call of Rickard.
The conscnaua of opinion is that
somebody will take an involuntary
nose dive to the canvas along about
the' fifth or sixth round of the ten
round main event at Milwaukie to
night. But as to whether the diver
will be Harry Wills, the Xew Orleans
tlack Goliath, or old Sam Langford.
the shortest but also the toughest and
hardest hitting negro heavyweight in
captivity, there waxes decided differ
ence of opinion.
Sam is short, but he can hit. When
he was barnstorming through this
country a year ago. the home folks
saw and marveled at how easily he
knocked out such big fellows as Tiny
Herman, Bob Dcvere and their kind.
Every one of them outweighed and
out-reached and out-towered Sam, but
his motto was, "the bigger they are
the harder they fall," and he made
them look ridiculous. One good swat
was all he ever asked.
But with Harry Wills opposing him,
Sam is facing a big man who can hit
just about as hard as Sam can hit-
Moreover Wills is mighty anxious to
make it a quick and decisive fight,
for if he can't lick Sam, what chance
will anybody concede him against
Champion Jack Dempsey?
Fulton no Longer PoMalbllity.
Up to a few days ago Tex ltickard
apparently was trying to revive Fred
Fulton long enough to get him into
the ring against Dempsey, but he
tall and sensitive plasterer couldn't
even hold his own against the aged
Madden, supposed1 to be all out and
all in a long time ago. That disposed
of the last vestige of an excuse for
matching Fulton with Dempsey. so
now Tex Rickard and all -the other
promoters are looking- to Harry Wills
as the only possible opponent for the
champion.
Only yes'erday Wills' manager, the
veteran Paddy Mullins, who has for
gotten more of the fine points of
nursing along a challenger than most
managers ever will know, received a
telegram from Tex Kickard asking
when he could bring Wills to Madison
Square garden for a bout. Paddy
answered that he could bring him
mighty quick, so from this fight at
.lilwauki tonight Harry Wills will
Atep riht into the big time.
All that makes it simply impera
tive to his own future for Wills to
stop Mistah Langford. Sam hasn't
been a bit bashful In the last week
In saying that Wills can't do it and
in intimating, moreover, that If he
himself gets in just one good lick
just one old-time Sam Langford punch
to the right spot down vsill drop
Mistah Wills and all his dreams of
glory.
Will Is Derided.
I did it twice already and I guess
I can do it again," said Sam. "Harry
Wills is no super-man. He only has
two arms and two fists and one head
J and one chin. Sure, he is bigger than
I am, but wnat or mat.' .-.eariy every
fight I ever had was against a bigger
man. They drop just as hard and a
iittle harder, that's all. Harry Wills
hasn't any cast-iron chin. I know
that because I've tapped it before
this.
"One good wallop that's all I ask.
Old Sam didn't come all the way out
to the coast this trip with ny ex
pectation of taking a licking from
Harry Wills."
Sam took a jog on the road yes
terday, but aside from that he eased
off in his training. He didn't box at
all. On the other hand Wills went
through the whole gamut of a day's
training routine. Wills is one fighter
who finds that he feels fitter and
better by working up to the final
day of a big fight.
Both big boys say they feel as good
as they ever did in their lives. Sam
has been taking this bout seriously
and has worked harder than for any
of the boys he knocked over on his
trip out here a year ago. He con
sidered those fights easy and trained
accordingly, but he has been doing
road work and boxing and working
out faithfully for the last week to
get ready for this match. Meeting
Harry Wills is nothing like a picnic,
as Sam very well knows. He knocked
out Wills twice when Wills was a
young fellow, but Wills has evened
that by sending Sam down for the
count much more recently.
Wills' In Ills Prime.
Wills at 29 is right in, his fighting
prime. He will enter the ring, ac
cording to Manager Paddy, weighing
several pounds less than the 21o at
which he usually fights. Langford
will weigh about 190, but where Wills'
215 pounds are spread over a frame
b feet 2" inches tall, tam concen
trates all his beef in a body only 5
feet 6 Inches long. Most of it is con
centrated in his huge chest, his short.
stocky neck and his enormous hands
and arms.
The card at Milwaukie will start
promptly at 8:30 o'clock tonight.
There will be some classy prelimi
naries. Rube Finn of Seattle fights
Eiklie Richards, a tough Portland
middleweight, in the six-round, semi
final. Willie St. Clair and Soldier
Woods of Seattle, welterweights,
will scrap six rounds. Frankie Richie,
a tough kid who comes back harder
the harder he is hit. will go four
rounds with Jimmie Landon of Se
attle, and Ham Cartwright and Jimmy
Hayes will attempt to entertain in
the four-round curtain raiser. Cart-
wright is the yellow boy who helped
give the crowd Euch a kick in the
curtain raiser of the free bill for
"honor men" at Milwaukie a week
ago.

TAI CHIP FILM OP
DUKE KAIIAXAMOKU TO GO IX
MOVIE BUSINESS.
$750,000 Corporation to Be Float
ed to Finance Screen Story
of Hawaiian Islands.
Vow that Duke P. Kahanamoku
intends forsaking the ranks of ama
teur competition by turning profes
sional, the interesting question arises,
will he ever swim another stroke in
an actual race?
Several times in the last few years
rumor has had it that the world
famous duke was about to go pro
fessional, but each, time Duke has
personally denied the rumors and has
continued as a "lily white" amateur.
Competition with or against profes
sional swimmers is not the act which
will debar Kahanamoku from the
amateur ranks. The Amateur Ath
letic union laws debar an athlete or
swimmer when he takes money for
his ability as a swimmer on the stage
or in. the movies. The powers that
be In amateurism consider that a
theatrical contract "commercializes
the ability and reputation of the ath
lete." So far as competition against pro
fessional swimmers In this country
is concerned, duke would starve if
he depended on such competition to
earn a living, and he knows it. There
is a chance of his making a few
dollar in professional competition If
he goes to Europe, but that thought
is not in his mind at present.
The fact of the matter is. the duke
Is contemplating going into the
movies, and another world famous
swimmer, Oscar Henning, has agreed
to undertake his management in this
connection. Henning gained fame in
the 1912 Olympic games at Stock
holm by winning, as a representative
of Sweden, the first heat of the 400
meters breast stroke and then taking
second to Bathe of Germany in the
final. It was at these events at
Stockholm that Duke Kahanamoku
and Henning first met. Since that
time Henning has been a resident of
Honolulu.
Henning Is now in San Francisco
arranging the details of duke's ad
vent into the movies. He has out
lined an elaborate plan which will
make Kahanamoku as world famous
on the screen as he is as a swimmer.
If the plans go through it is quite
possible that Kahanamoku's "pic
tures" will be as much sought after
as those of Doug Fairbanks. Tom Mix
or any of the other athletic screen
actors whb do their dare-devil stunts
on land. Kahanamoku will do his in
the water.
The pictures are to be taken in the
Hawaiian islands. Henning expects
to float a $750,000 corporation. lie
will engage an all-star cast to sup
port Kahanamoku and already the
name of one of the world's most
famous woman screen stars has been
mentioned to play opposite Kahana
moku as the heroine. A special story
is to be written, based on Hawaiian
mythology and folk lore, and Hen
ning wili have the story properly
dramatized for screen purposes.
COMBINE WILL PLAY AGGIES
Macleay Scots and Cunadian Vet
erans to Meet College Socccrites.
All-star soccer games are getting
to be quite the vogue. An all-star
combination of Macleay Scots and
Canadian Veterans will engage the
Oregon Aggies soccer team on Mult
nomah field January 28.
Although the Aggies lost to the
Portland soccer association's picked
team Saturday, 4 to 1. Coach Wilt
shire believes his team can put up
a much better game than that and
expects to do a comeback against
the Scots-Canadians outfit. A return
game will be played between the
teams in Corvallis early in February.
The Macleay Scots won the second
game of the Scotland-Canaoa series
Sunday, defeating the Canadian .Vet
erans, 2 to 0. The Scots' defense was
too much for the Canadians to pene
trate, try as they might. Scott and
D. Gray scored for the Macleays.
Coach Added to Payroll.
Branch Rickey, manager of the St.
Louis Nationals, is bolstering up his
coaching staff in preparation for next
year's championship race. Announce
ment was made that Roy Thomas,
formerly outfilder for the Philadel
phia Nationals and later coach of Ihe
University of Pennsylvania baseball
team, has been added to the Cardi

isd!fferent in basketball. All have

COLUMBIA PLEA DEFERHEO
SCHOOL EXTRAXCE KEQUEST
TO BE TAKEN CP JAN. 28.
.Manager of Athletics .Receives Noti
fication From Secretary of
Association of Oregon.
Columbia's application for admit
tance to the Oregon High School Ath
letic association will not be acted on
until the next meeting of the direc
tors ot the association in Portland,
January 28, it was learned yesterday
by George Haller, manager of ath
itir at Columbia. Mr. Haller re
ceived this answer to his application
from J W. Mishler. secretary ot tne
state athletics association.
Mr. Mishler wrote that be tnougm
the directors of the Oregon Hign
School Athletic association will act
favorsftilv on Columbia s application,
jas Columbia has been adhering strict
ly to the rules laid down by the as
sociation. One obstacle in Columbia's way
that now is removed was the with
holding of an amateur athletic union
card from Clipper Smith, the Colum
bia coach. That is all settled now
and Smith has his card. Had the card
not been issued on the ground that
Smith is a professional paid coach.
Columbia would hardly have hoped
to gain admittance to the state as
sociation as it went on record at iu :

recent meeting in Portland against
paid professional coaches.
When the Oregon high school ath
letic association met December 30, it
also prohibited its members from
playing with Columbia on the ground
that Columbia did not adhere to
scholarship requirements of the as
sociation and that Columbia's coach
had not received an amateur card.
It is understood that some of the
schools objected to Columbia because
it did not have an age limit and also
permitted its athletes to compete for
as many years as they attended school.
Thus if a man went to Columbia five
or six years ho might play on its
teams more than four years, which is
contrary to the rules of the state
association.
According to Mr. Haller, all these
objections have been cleared and no
Columbia athlete will be permitted
hereafter to play more than four
years. Xor will any athlete more
than 20 years old he permitted to take
part In school athletics. With Coach
Smith secure now in his amateur
status, Mr. Haller says he sees no
obstacles in the way and is confident
that Columbia will be admitted to the
association.
