Danny Kdwartl.t, the neirro flaph, at
the armory Tuesday nittht that al-ready-'he
is dickering for another bout
In Portland. Matchmaker Hansen re
ceived a telegrram from the soldier
champion's manager sayinjr that after
.Asher had polished off Edwards he
wanted a bout on the following
week's show In Portland.
All of which would Indicate that
Asher figures Danny will be easy
meat for him. Asher will not arrive
In Portland until tonight, which only

Unless Ashe- was in tiptop shape

more then a few baggage car work

a couple of days before a fight and

bred boxer was tougher then he had
suf. posed.
johnny Griffiths, who came all the
way from Akron, O., to battle Alex
Trambttas, was the last example of
one of the easterners who was not on
the ground in time to condition him

make nearly the showing expected of
him.
Kdrrard No Set-up.
Asher. whether in condition or not,
-will find Edwards about as hard a
nut to crack as any of the eastern
bantams he has met. Edwards may
iret a Hhot at some of the leading
eastern midgets before another year,
as he plans a trip east after the bout
with Asher.
Babe Herman, another Pacific coast
tantam over whom Edwards holds a
decision, is making good in the east.
Herman has fought two main events
In New York since losing a decision
to Edwards.
Matchmaker Hansen said yesterday
that If Asher beat Edwards the -ort-lend
boxing commission probably will
give the A. E. F. champ another main
.event here. In that case the commis
sion would have to send east for an
opponent for Asher. According to
Hansen. Billy Mascott Is ready to re
turn home and Joe Burtnan also has
written for a chance to show here.
Either ol these boys would make a
good opponent for Asher.

AINT IT A GRAND
JOCK HUTCHISON PREDICTS
GOLF CHAMPION FOR COAST
American Winner of British Open Title Praises Spirit of Far West
Upon Links and Quality of Players.
BY JOCK HUTCHISON.
American Winner of British Open Cham
pionship. THE trip to the Pacific coast un
dertaken by Jim Barnes and my
self for exhibition purposes has
been an eye-opener for me. I little
dreamed that golf had grown to such
an extent In the far west.
We started in Vancouver about the
middle ot December and have been
kept busy ever since, playing at least
five matches a week except for one
Intermission for stormy weather, but
it doesn't seem to be hard work.
There is something In the climate
that keeps a fellow going at top
speed. When we undertook this .trip
we figured it would be a terrible
grind, something like what Mitchell
and Duncan went through last year
or Vardon and Kay the year before.
Vancouver Course Fine.
But the Britishers played through
the hot season while we have had
nothing but fall weather. Vancouver
is a thoroughly up-to-date golf
town. The Vancouver Country club,
where we played. Is a better course
than I had figured on. We won our
match easily enough there and a
large and enthusiastic crowd fol
lowed us. Neither Jim nor myself
had limbered up beforehand' to any
extent. We both hit a few balls in
practice just to get the feel of the
clu b.
We were surprised' at the other
courses along the northwestern
coast, many of them comparing fa
vorably with the best we have in the
east. With such excellent playing
grounds well bunkered and with
first-class greens, golf is bound to
grow in popularity. Many good
golfers are being developed who will
make their presence felt in cham
pionships before many seasons pass.
Some of the best players in the
northwest played In the amateur
championship at St. Louis last season
and made a very favorable impres
sion. They are talking now of an
other trip east next summer with
the championship at Brookline in
view. Sooner or later a Pacific coast
star will win this event.
Macdonald Smith Praised.
We found golf enthusiasm running
highest at San Francisco, where we
met defeat at the hands of Macdonald
Smith and Fred Whiting. This battle
was waged In a howling windstorm
which would do credit to any of the
famous windswept links on the other
side of the Atlantic.
The way Macdonald Smith plowed
his way through the gale was some
thing well worth writing about. I
have said before that little Mac was

BUTLER READY FOR RECBEX
Return Match With Chicago Grap-
pler Offered Any Time.
Oscar Butler, claimant of the mid
dleweight wrestling . title in the
northwest. Is ready to meet Ben
Reuben. Chicago middleweight in a
return match any time the Chicago
grappler is ready. There seemed to
be a question in the minds of some of
the fans whether Butler after once
beating Reuben would give the Chi
cago mat man another chance, but
Butler declared yesterday he cer
tainly would.
Butler said further that his back-j
AND GLORIOUS FEEUDTT
one of the greatest stars the game
has ever known and I am more than
ever convinced of it.
To appreciate Mac's greatness it
must be known first of all that he is
slightly built, weighing not over 130
pounds. He does not impress one
with having the necessary reserve of
strength that most successful players
have, and this maty be the reason he
has failed to win a big champions-hip.
He Is the youngest of the Smith fam
ily of golfers, who have been famous
for years on the links both here and
in Scotland.
Willie, the eldest, now dead, was
the first to win a championship; then
followed Alex. Mac tied with his
brother Alex and Johnnie McDermott
in 1910 for the title, but Alex won
the play-off. Mac finished fourth in
1913. .
He has a very graceful and easy
style, getting a great amount of dis
tance through the perfect timing of
the stroke. He showed rare skill in
holding the drive on the line, al
though neither Barnes nor myself
had much success In keeping our
drives or long iron shots straight.
Smith has a pitch to the green
somewhat different from that of any
of the rest of us. The ball is not of
the high pitch variety but a very
low one, and carries a great amount
of back spin.
I learned considerable from Mac
when . we were both In Pittsburg. I
was at the Allegheny Country club
while Mao was stationed over at Oak
mont. We used to play together two
or three times a week.
Plenty of Material.
There are many other good golfers
on the coast. Among them is John
Black, who has played in one or two
open events in the east, but not
enough to attract any attention, al
though he is a very fine golfer. He
was on the winning end ot a combi
nation that beat us a few weeks ago
farther north, which was our first
setback.
The courses around San Francisco,
I am frank to admit, surprised us
considerably. There is always more
or lees wind blowlnc there and the
golfer who has had experience under
such trying conditions will find an
advantage, while the beginner gains
experience that should stand him well
in hand.
The good people of the etate 'of
California, as well as of Washington
and Oregon, are golf enthusiasts of a
rare type. One would think they
had always known golf out there.
The galleries are well behaved and
distinguish good play from bad. The
game is growing fast On the coast
because it is an all-year-round
proposition.

ers will wager considerable coin that
he can pin Reuben again. Butler's
next opponent will be Basanta Singh,
the Hindu wrestler. This match will
be staged February 14 at the Wood
man of the World hall. East Sixth
and Alder streets.
The local bone crasher wants to

IDAHO TO PLAY WINGED M
GAME BILLED TOXIGHT AT
MCIiTXOMAH CliUB.
Visitors Ijoom as Front Rank Con
tenders for Pacific Coast
Conference Title.
Looming up as a front-rank con
tender for the Pacific coast confer
ence basketball title comes the Uni
versity of Idaho basketball oulntet
which will lake the floor against the
Multnomah Athletic club hoopers to
night at the winged-M court.
Idaho is about the strongest aggre
gation the club five has had to face so
far this season. Harry Fischer, Multno
mah club football chairman and prom
inent basketball referee, who refereed
the Idaho-Oregon series in Eugene
Monday and Tuesday nights, says
Idaho has one of the Dest-oaianceo
basketball squads he has seen in
action. Fischer says Idaho's strong
fcrte is passing, which is what makes
a good or bad basketball team.
There has been a lack of good pass
ing on the Multnomah club team this
season. Coach Dewey, realizing this
lack, has been holding passing drill
all week. Players who are adepts at
passing yet may not be the surest
shots in the world, will get the prer
erence over shooting stars in select
ing the lineup for tonight's game.
Passing means teamwork, and it Is
that phase of the game that Dewey
is trying to develop. Several well-
knoft-n players who have notyet
brokn into the lineup at the start of
games will make their debut against
Idaho. The other players have been
switched around until the team does
not look like the same aggregat'on
According to present dope. Bob

3 SEATTLE PLAYERS SIGN
Stumpf, Spencer and Murphy Affix
j Xanies to Contracts.
I SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 20. (Spe
cial.) Bill Stumpf, Tubby Spencer
ahd Rod Murphy have signed con
I tracts for the coming Beason, and
Murphy has been named field captain.
"This year is going to be the best
or my career," wrote Bin stumpf
Bill was the second best hitting
shortstop in the circuit last season
and among the leaders in fielding.
He drove in a powerful lot of runs,
and if he can play that kind of ball
this year, McCredie wlli find it hard
to uncover a youngster to replace
him. Tubby Spencer talked things
over with McCredie in the south, and
he readily agreed to return to the
fold, thus insuring the Indians a
high-class catching corps. Adams
and Tobin are the other backstops.
President Boldt announced that
Manuel Cueto had been declared the
property of Seattle by Cincinnati. But
that does not mean much. The big
thing right now is to convince Judge
Landis that the Cuban star should be
prompted to cavort on the diamond
again.
The naming of Rod Murphy to the
captaincy is a diplomatic move on the
part of McCredie. Mack knows that
Murphy has not been one of his ar
dent admirers ever since McCredie
had the lnfielder pn his Portland
club. But McCredie also realises
that Rod is a sweet ballplayer. The
selection of Murphy a captain means
that Murphy will be perfectly satis
fied under McCredie's management,
and will give his best to the team.

Washington Takes Lead and
Is Never Threatened.
GAME FIRST OF SERIES
Northerners Play Superb Offen
sive, " Forcing Down Oregon
Defensive Time After Time.
UXIVERSITT OP OREGOX, Eu
gene, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) The
varsity went down to defeat here to
night before the University of Wash
ington in the first of the series by
a score of 46 to 19. The northerners
took the lead from the first, Oregon
never threatening. The guarding of
Oregon was all that kept the score
from being larger although the Ore
gon forwards missed many shots.
The first period ended. 21 to 13,
with the Vikings in the lead. In the
second half the Vikings came back
with renewed ' speed and played
superb offensive, forcing down the
Oregon defense time after time.
Many of their points were scored
from long and seemingly impossible
angles. Lewis and Crawford of the
visitors vied for honors in hooping
the long shots from different angles.
Francis Belter played a brilliant
game at guard fr Oregon, scoring
three field goals and proving a strong
factor in breaking up the passing of
the Vikings. Burnett, in the other
guard position, played a consistent
game and broke up many Washing
ton shots. Andre was responsible for
five of the Oregon points.
With ' seven minutes to go both
coaches sent in entirely new teams
and it was then that Oregon began
to get in some effective scoring.
As a preliminary the Oregon fresh

FRANK BRl'GGY IS MYSTIFIED
Phillie Catcher Sold to Portland
Beavers Cliarges "Railroading."
BOSTON, Mass.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
One of the most mystified men in
baseball today is Frank Bruggy,
catcher for the Philadelphia Nation
als, who has been sold to Portland,
Or., of the Pacific coast league.
Bruggy has been In the Quaker city
recently in search of explanation of
what he considers being "railroaded"
out of the major leagues.
Bruggy while on a brief Boston
visit was Interviewed today and said
that Baker had sold him to the coast
team for $6500, or thereabouts, for
no definite reason known to himself.
Thousands of dollars had been
hurled around for players and pros
pects. The draft rule had been bat
ted back and forth without a de
cision. And then came a major club
to dispose of one of last season's
regulars to the minors for a fat
price. Baseball could not understand
the action of Baker nor could
Bruggy. '
How the ex-Lawrence star was
cleared of all claims on the part of
other teams was another question
and it is still awaiting an answer.
There are major-league teams that
need catchers of the Bruggy type.
Therefore, Frank takes the "railroad
ing" view.

American Colleges Do Xot Exist for

Says President.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Walter Dill
Scott, president of Northwestern uni
versity, and David A. Robertson, dean
of arts and literature at the Univer
sity of Chicago, today made public
statements in which they supported
to a certain extent the attitude as
sumed by President A. L. Lowell of
Harvard on football as It relates to
college education.
President Lowell, in his annual re
port made public Wednesday, asserted
that public interest in football had
tended to give excessive importance
to college athletic contests.
'The general statement made by
President Lowell was a bold and cou
rageous one." Dean Robertson said.
"The only thing in the statement with
which I do not agree is the patroniz
ing attitude of Harvard toward some
of the smaller institutions which it
meets athletically.
"I do not believe In intersectlonal

of this In the trip made to Princeton
last fall. Although we were pleased
with the results of the game, we were
not altogether pleased with the way
in which it hindered the school work
of the men who made the trip."
President Scott declared that the
American colleges do not exist for
the sake of Latin or of football.
"We believe In intercollegiate ath
letics and Intercollegiate Latin,"
President Scott said. "We judge that
If either of these Is made an end In
itself it assumes a position of Impor
tance detrimental to the interests for
which our colleges exist.

EXPOSE STIRS ALL
PROFESSOR AYER CONGRATU
LATED OX DISCLOSURES.
Every Eastern Coach Expected to
Learn Lesson as Result of
Exposure of Dlctz.
SEATTLR, Wash.. Jan. 20. (Spe
cial.) Football followers all over the
country were stirred by the dis
closures of Professor Leslie J. Ayer
yesterday, when the attempts of the
Purdue coach to "vamp" a half dosen
or more northwest high school stars
was exposed. '
Professor Ayer was receiving con
gratulations from all over the coast
today as a result of his activities.
Purdue officials announced that Lone
star Diets would not return, and no
doubt every other eastern coach has
learned a lesson from the recent de
velopments. That the proselyting in coast high
schools by eastern colleges will be
checked by the recent happenings Is
the opinion of Professor Ayer and
Graduate Manager Mcisncst of the
University of Washington.
Too often in the past, Mr. Ayer
pointed out, have northwest boys
been wooed to eastern Institutions
through attractive offers of salaries.
The duties of the players often
consist of turning out the lights in
the gymnasium or some other fic
titious "jobs." Coast colleges make
no effort to lure eastern, high school
athletes west, and they will continue
to oppose such methods as Coach
Diets used.
Positions obtained to assist players
In working their way through school
does not come under the ban. But
such offers as Diets made to Wilson
are flagrant violations of all rules
of college athletics, written and un
written. Mr. Ayer said. Wilson was
to have a salary of J100 a month in
the winter and 6125, in summer all
through his senior year at high
school, he said.

PRO FOOTBALL HELD MENACE
Yost Says Game Robbed of Many
of Its Best Qualities.
NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Professional
football is a menace to the college
sport, as it robs the game of many
of its greatest character building
qualities. Fielding H. Yost, for 20
years football coach at the University
ot Michigan, said tonight in an ad
dress. The professional sport, he said,
tends to make the college player un
satisfied to play the game for its
own sake; robs the game of the ex
hilarating Inspiration of achievement
merely for achievement's sake, and
destroys the Ideals of generous serv
ice, loyalty, sacrifice and whole
hearted devotion to a cause, which
marks the college player.
