Babe Asher, the Bob JIartin of the

card at the armory next Tuesday
Tilttht. will arrive here from Chicago
tomorrow to wind up his training for
the scrap.
Asher Is not only the kingpin of
the American expeditionary forces
bantams, but a real war hero as well,
as the following citation bears wit

Asher Clasajr Mauler.
But Asher Is not one of the army
boxing products who gets by merely
on the fact that he fought In the war.
He was a classy mauler before he
entered the serv ce, and Bince re
ceiving his honorable discharge has
defeated some of the best boys in tne
( world.
Such well-known pounders as Jack
Sharkey, Frankie Mason, Zulu Kid,
Karl Puryear, Jimmy Kelley, Patsy
Wallace, Kid Wolfe, Sammy Mandell.
Johnny Krtle and Earl McArthur
have weakened before the slashing
attack of the midget Chicago war
rior. According to all advance no
tices and the word of several Port
landers who have seen Asher In ac
tion, he Is a two-fisted slugger. Asher
does not depend much on cleverness
to put him over, but employs rip
tearlng tactics to bring home the
bacon. He has never been stopped In
a. fight.
Asher came out on top In the big
lnter-allled tournament In Paris in
1919, bowling over every opponent
that was sent against him. He rep
resented the American expeditionary
forces in all the army events and
never lost a fight. His two toughest
battles were against Jimmy Wilde,
the English champion, and Digger
Kvans of Australia. Asher battled
Wilde a toe-to-toe. eight-round, no
decision affair, opinion being about
even as to who had the better of It.
He knocked out Evans after six sen
sational rounds.
Jat-k Sonrkry Defeated.
One of his most recent notable vic
tories was a month or so ago over
Jack Sharkey, the New York pum
meler. Sharkey has bested some of
the best bantams in the world, but
couldn't dent Asher's attack In ten
rounds. He also administered a 12
round lacing to Johnny Ertle in Win
nipeg, Canada. Ertle was well on the
way to a successful comeback until
he bumped Into Asher.
Edwards la the best boy that could
be pitted against Asher In this part
cf the country. Danny is making
120 pounds for the fight, and at that
weight few boys In the world have
anything on him. When he beat Babe
Herman at Milwaukie recently he
trimmed one of the best in the game.
Edwards figures against Asher, re
gardless of how good the latter may
be. EdwardB Is planning a trip east
next month, and a loss at this stage
of he game would mean postpone
ment of the invasion.
Battling Ortega, the Oakland mid

Stanford Mentor Finds Work Fasci

ture Jn Directing Athletics.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Palo Alto,
Cal., Jan. 18. (Special.) It Is em
phatically denied here that the unex
pected .resignation of Walter D.
Powell, director of athletics and for
mer football and basketball coach,
was 1 dictated by other than Mr.
Powell's own wishes. That is fur
ther borne out by the fact that the
resignation does not become effective
until the end of the present college
year.
Explaining his resignation, Mr.
Fowell says there has been only the
warmest feeling between himself and
the athletic board and President
Wilbur.
"But I feel that no great future
lies In directing athletic." he ex
plains. "It is a great work and fas
cinating, but no big goal lies ahead.
So I am going to enter business while
I am still a young man and able to
make the change."
In the two years that the former
Wisconsin football star haa served at
Stanford he has made a host of
friends. Under his supervision the
whole Stanford athletic policy has
been systematized. His administra
tion has seen great improvements in
athletic facilities, particularly the
completion of the new 1100.000 basket
ball open-air pavilion and tne duuo
insr of the Stanford football stadium.
whiJh seats 65.000 spectators and al
ready In one big game baa almost

Powell starred In many orancnes 01
athletics as a student at Wisconsin.
He went to Western Reserve as foot
ball coach in 1914. He enlisted In
the army In 1917. and shortly there
after waa placed in charge of army
athletic work. He assisted Walter
Camp In forming football elevens at
various army cantonments ana iriena
shlp then formed has resulted In his
appointment as the far-western
member of the footDall rules commit
tee, and Mr. Camp' request that
Pnwnli act as his far-western scout
In recommending coast players to the
AU-American football eleven.
Aftpr the war Powell coached foot
ball for a year at the University of
Montana. From there he came to
Stanford, first as head football coach
and then as director of athletics. '

POP WARNER AND STANFORD
TO LOOK EACH OTHER OVER
If All Hands Are Mutually Pleased Old Master of Football Will Accept
Offer a.s Coach Effective at Once.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
GLEN WARNER, the old master
of the football coaches, is due
at Stanford this week to give
the campus and the football situation
a once over, and ostensibly to see
whether he wants to accept the
coaching Job there, from and after
1924. His contract with Pittsburg
doesn't expire until that year.
From 1922 to 1924 is a long time to
wait for a football coach. It is too
long to be true. You can Just mark
it down that if Warner likes Stan
ford, and if Stanford likes him, both
of which his visit will determine,
there will not be any long wait or
short wait, either.
The purpose of his visit really Is
to get acquainted and give the Stan
ford student body the chance to be
come acquainted with him. Then if
all hands are mutually pleased, the
call will be extended and Warner will
accept effective at once.
The demand for Warner really
originates with the alumni, who are
determined that there shall be a
change in Stanford's coaching policy,
with a real big leaguer in charge.
The talk about 1924 is merely to ease
ho M.a nl.lv nnri smoothlv into
l.i i -j . .w a.iont hnriv which
nits mum ui mj - .
might get balky and stampede the
other way if the thing were broached
too suddenly.
If the student body becomes en
thusiastic about old Pop, and it prob
ably will become enthusiastic, then
depend upon it he will arrange to
come at once.
Warner is understood to be the
highest-paid coach in the business,
his reputed salary at Pittsburg being
115.000 a year. Stanford alumni is
willing to meet that and go a little
higher. If necessary. Old Pop's rec
ord of success over a period of 30
years Snakes him worth event cent he
costs.
Warner is remarkable not because
of his success with one team only,
but because of his continued success
with many teams. Year after year
his elevens are among the first. His
greatest fame probably rests on his
work with the Carlisle Indians, but
his true greatness has been demon
strated by his success at Pittsburg.
Some of the best of the old-time
coaches fell Jnto oblivion with the
new rules. They couldn't solve the
new problems of developing an of
fense and a defense for the open
game. It's said that "Hurry-Up"
Yost first felt failure because he
could not develop the new form of
interference.
All that, however, bothered Pop
Warner not a whit. He not only kept
right up on the new rules, but made
improvements on them. He has a
rare faculty for Inventing plays that
violate the rules in spirit, yet abide
by the letter of them. About half the
changes of the last few years have
been made necessary to cover new
Warner plays. '
Warner himself will be new to the
far west, but his type of football has
been played here for years. The in
fluence of Lone Star Deitz on Pacific
coast football was enormous and
Deitx. and Gus Welch since his time,
both were Warner pupils.
As an example of Warner's versa
tility and influence In molding foot
ball styles, he was the originator of
the direct pass now used by nearly
alt the Pacific northwest elevens, and
by many of the big eastern teams.
It was Warner, too, who originated

The Coast league's adoption of the
Wilson ball wasn't for one season
only, but for a period of 10 to 15
years. About all the baseDaii sales
men in the world attended the meet
ing, but the Coast league directors
were determined not to have a repe
tition of last year's lively ball fiasco,
so the Wilson people got the call
when they guaranteed their product.
Last year's home run record in the
Coast league circuit probably never
will be duplicated.
But home runs weren't the only
objection the magnates bad to last
year's ball. It went like a shot when
It was hit. but ordinarily it didn't
stand much punishment. One or two
swats and it would go lop-sided. The
umpires threw out enough lop-sided
balls in Portland alone to run some
bush leagues for a season.
Remarks Abe Kemp in the San
Francisco Bulletin:
"Among other attributes there Is
one possessed by Walter McCredie for
which you have to award him the
prize, and that is frankness. In these
parlous times when the gent who con
ducts a baseball team is more of an
arch-diplomat than an out-and-out
baseball manager, and statements are
both chemically and legally washed
before they are permitted the free
dom of publication, It is refreshing
to engage a person lik: McCredie in
a conversational Joust he at least
says what he thinks.
Commenting on the acquisition of
Joe Finneran, pitching ace who dis
ported himself in Vernon livery a few
seasons ago. McCredie remarked:
" 'Finneran is the type of pitcher
I have been itching to get my hands
on for two esasons. Joe likes to
cheat ydu know what I mean soil
the baseball or rough the edges. At
that game he has few equals.
"'You know there was a lot of It
In the Coast league last season that
the umpires didn't detect, but what
got my goat was that I didn't have
a pitcher who could io the same
thing. I guess you see now why I
got Finneran. If the pitcher work
ing against Joe wants to cheat, why
he can go as far as be likes and I'll
never chirp."
310. tied ror fourth place, and Hutt
Hartin took fifth money, tying with
Von Elm, who as an amateur did not
participate In the purse. Joe Martin
took sixth place with 313. Sam Whit
ing seventh, 215, and Chick Fraser
eighth, 316.
Loos lost the championship in a
spectacular play paired with Barnes.
They started off with a large gallery
in ideal weather and Barnes slowly
took the lead, finishing the morning
18 holes in 71, par for the course,
while Loos took 77. Barnes In the
afternoon made the final 18 holes in
74 and Loos in 79.

ON LANGFORD'S SKULL.
X-Ray Discloses Clean Fracture,
Says Negro's Manager Acci
. dent Took Place in Third.
Old Sam Langford is one tough tar
baby, but the veteran may thank the
thicknes of his skull that he lasted
through the ten rounds against Harry
Wills at Milwaukie Tuesday night.
At least, so declares Paddy Mulline,
manager for the gigantic Wills. Paddy
told yesterday how Wills broke a
bone in his right band when he
clouted Sam on top of the head in
the third.
"He hit Sam hard enough to have
knocked down three ordinary men."
said Mullins, "but old Sam ducked
and the smash caught him on top
of his head. Nobody ever accused
Sam of having a paper' ekull, and
the impact broke a small bone in
Harry's right paw. Thereafter he
couldn't use his right w'th any force
at all.
"This isn't an alibi, for Wills won
the decision, but It explains why he
didn't make the showing some folks
expected. We had Wills up to see a
doctor yesterday, who found a clean
break in one of the small bones. He
said it would heal readily enough and
that Wills probably can fight again
in three weeks."
Mr. Mullins, with Wills and Fred
Cos-tain, the big fellow's trainer, left
Portland for St. Paul last night. Mul
lins expects to have Wills either fill
a prospective date for Tex Rickard
in Madison Square Garden. New York,
or go to New Orleans to battle Clem
Johnson, another big heigro heavy.
"I want to come to Portland again
this winter, for I certainly do like
the climate," said Mr. Mullins. "You
folks think this is cold, but it doesn't
feel that way to me.

is a battle between Mike O'Dowd,

the Pacific coast for running out of
his bout with Harry Greb in New

again, and feels confident that he can
win back his title.
"You may say for me that O'Dowd
is so eager to meet Wilson that he
will fight him on any terms. What
hurta him is not so much losing the
middleweight championship, but los

Record Crowd on Hand Victory
Strengthens Lead of North
erners in Conference.
OREGON AGRICLUTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallls, Jan. 18. (Special.)
The Aggie basketeera rallied In the
last half of their game with the
University of Washington here to
night In a desperate effort to over
come the lead of the Vikings, but
fell one point shy and lost the second
of the two-game series. 32 to 31.
It was a thrilling game from start
to finish, with a record crowd on
hand. From the opening- whistle to
the last minute of play, when the
Aggies failed to convert a free throw
for the much-needed point to tie the
score, the 2000 fans were tense with
excitement and most of the time on
their feet.
By its victory the University of
Washington strengthened its lead in
the northwest conference.
Lfgj'.'is, forward for the visitors,
was the outstanding star of the eve
ning. Time after time he broke
through the defense of the Aggies
and trickled the ball through the
hoop for a field basket that kept his
team in the lead. His ability to out
maneuver his guard was uncanny.
Richards, star guard for the Aggies,
did some remarkable work in check
ing Slelke, Washington center. Sielke
gummed up the Aggie hopes in the
first half with eight points, but Rich
ards clung tight In the second half
and Sielke got nary a point in that
period.
The first session ended with the
score 15 to 21 in favor of the Vikings.
It was all that was needed to put a
spurt into the Aggies. They started
out with a burst of speed the last
period and had Washington worried.
The Washington lead began to melt
as the Aggies slipped in one field
basket after another. It soon be
came apparent that a free throw

failure to convert one of the throws
Just before the whistle blew ending
tbe game that cost the Aggies the

IDAHO DEFEATS WILLAMETTE
Superior Teamwork Costs Game for
Bearcats, 2 7 to 19.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Sa
lem. "Or., an. 18. (Special.) Superior
Idaho teamwork proved Willamette's
nemesis in basketball tonight, Idaho
taking the opening game of the two
game series. 27 to 19. The game was
rough, with both teams bad offenders.
The 'visitors took the lead early in
the game and were never seriously
threatened except in the last few
minutes of play.
Edwards, center for Idaho, showed
to good advantage in the opening
period, scoring four baskets from the
floor. Willamette's guards were not
able to check him for short shots,
which he converted with regularity.
On the other hand, the Bearcat of
fense was ragged, passing the ball
about at the center of the floor but
not being able to advance it.
A. Fox, for Idaho, was high-point
man, with 11 to his credit. He shot
three baskets from the floor and
converted five out of eight free
throws.
Logan stood out for Willamette,
making four field goals. Gillette
with five out of eight free throws,
tied with Fox of Idaho. He also made
one field goal.
Idaho will rest here tomorrow and
meet Willamette In the second game
Friday evening.

Unless the Multnomah Amateur Ath

siderably, it will be in line for a nice
smearing by the University of Idaho
five Saturday night. The Winged M
hoopers play the Idaho basketeers on
the club floor, which is about the
only thing in Multnomah's favor.
Idaho made its conference debut
this week by drubbing Oregon 37 to

mah defeated Oregon some weeks
ago, but not by any such one-sided
score.
Coach Dewey has been having
trouble at the club picking a combi

pcoring machine. He seems to have
material enough, but for some rea

Idaho defeated Multnomah last

BENSON QUINTET VICTOR
WASHINGTON HIGH DEFEATED
IN FAST AFFAIR, 23-22.
Game Rough in Spots With Numer
ous Fouls Called Two
Players Put Out.
For the first time in several sea
sons the Benson basketball team de
feated the Washington high school
five yesterday afternoon on the
Washington floor. The score was 25
to 22. There have been better
basketball games, but It will be some
time before there is another in high
schooj circles as interesting to the
spectators as that one yesterday.
The three point margin by which
Benson won Indicates how closely the
game was -played. It was rough in
spots and Referee Fabre called nu
merous personal fouls on both sides.
Two players, Mautz of Washington
and Barber of Benson, were put out
of the game when they drew their
full quotas of four personal fouls.
At the end of the first half Wash
ington led by the scant margin of two
points. Washington scored first In
the second period when Lady threw
a field basket. But two baskets in
succession by Barber of Benson tied
the score and from then on it was a
fierce battle.
Barber with 13 points, four field
baskets and five converted free
throws, was the high point man of
the game. Lady of Washington ran
him closely with three field baskets
and six converted fouls for a total of
12 points. Baker for Washington
dropped In four baskets from the
floor. The lineups:

IT TEST-OUT PLANNED
IOWA FAN'S WOULD DECIDE
MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE.
With at Least 10 Wrestlers Claim
ing Championship, Scheme Is
to Hold Elimination Meet.
With at least ten w-restlers claiming
the middleweight championship of the
world, a coterie of Iowa wrestling
fanB and promoters has come forward
with plans for an elimination tourna
ment In which the leading claimants
will be invited to compete. Ted Thye,
wrestling instructor of the Multno
mah Amateur Athletic club, and
thought by many on the Pacific slope
to have as good a claim to the title
as any, is among the grapplers to re
ceive an invitation.
Sportsmen from Mason City, Cedar
Rapids, Spencer and Oskaloosa, all
Iowa towns, met recently at Mason
City to arrange the tournament. They
also drew up a set of rules intended
to correct some of the bad features
of the game at present.
No date was set for the opening of
the tournament, but an attempt will
be made to hold it this spring. A
schedule o matches will be drawn up
and the matches divided among the
ieading cities of Iowa.
One important change recommended
:n the present rules concerns the mid
dleweight limit, which has now been
raised from 158 to 160 pounds. The
wrestlers must make this weight at
5 o'clock on the day of the match. As
each contestant will be required to
post a forfeit, he will lose his forfeit
if he does not make the stipulated
weight.
The new White rules, under which
matches are staged by rounds Instead
of a single period of two hours also
were adopted. The limit of all
matches in the tournament, it was de
cided, will be 12 ten-minute rounds
with a rest of two minutes between
rounds. If there is no fail in nine
rounds of wrestling one fall after that
time will rleclde the match. A wrestler
gaining two falls straight, or two
falls out of three inside the 12-round
limit, wins as before, but if there Is
no fall In 12 rounds the referee must
give a decision as draws are taboo
and there must be a winner and a
loser.
Only pin falls will count and a
wrestler must hold his opponent
pinned with his two shoulders to the
mat for three seconds. Any wrestler
gaining a fall early In the match
who then stalls and goes on the de
fense for more than two round with-
