SOUTH BEND. Ind., Jan. 30. (By
the Associated Press.) Eight ath
letes of Notre Dame university,
among- them two ail-American foot
ball players, a championship track
man and captains of the basketball
and track teams today confessed to
school authorities that they had

Immediate disqualification of each
man was announced by the univer

The eight men are:

without knowledge that the affair
was the outgrowth of town rivalry
which became so acute that about
1 100.000 was said to have been bet
on the fame.
"Fixer" Jiow Sought.
In agreeing to play with the Car

aware that the nine University of
Illinois stars recently disqualified for

with Taylorville, they assertea. satis

Implicated, school authorities tonight
bad launched an investigation to find
who was the "fixer" of the affair, and
what means were used to tempt the
lads Into professionalism.
This man. If a student, will be ex
pelled from Bchool. It was announced.
The disqualification of the eight
men, together with graduations and
disqualifications of three other men
recently for playing: In a professional
Fame at Green Bay, Wis., was looked
upon as wrecking Notre Dame's
chances in football, baseball and track
this season. Coach Rockne will not
have a single regular around to
whom to bulid his 1922 eleven, while
little hope was held forth for suc
cessfully replacing the track and
basketball men.
Confession by the men produced &
sensation on the campus and left Mr.
Rockne In what another university
official declared as "a heart-broken
condition."
The eight men early today went be
fore Father William Carey, chairman
of the athletic board, and told him
their story. Several then went to Mr.
Rockne.
Eddie Anderson. all-American end,
was the first to reach the coach.
"Rock." he said. "I've come to tell
you that It's true that I played In
that Taylorville game."
Coach Is Dumbfounded.
For several seconds Mr. Rockne sat
taring at the athlete, dumbfounded.
"You you're kidding, Eddie," re
plied the coach.
"No, it's true," said Anderson. "I'm
sorry no one knows how eorry, but
It's true. Rock, and I wanted to tell
yon myself."
For fully ten minutes Mr. Rockne
paced up and down his office.
"Eddio, I can't believe it." he ex
claimed. "I might have believed some
fellows did that, but not a man like
you. Didn't you stop to think, boy,
how this would affect your school,
how It would hit me as well as your
self? Didn't you stop to think how
you'll feel when the students here
learn of this? Why, why did you
do It?"
"We know now. Rock, but we
never thought of It then. I know
now that you are the one who suffers.
Don't take it so hard, please, Kock.
because we didn't mean to hurt you
and we should have known how you
feel."
Anderson, a typical clean-cut young
college chap, remained silent for some
time while Coach Rockne sat with his
head In one hand. Then the athlete
said:
"Say. Rock, I Just want to tell you
one thing; that Illinois gang couldn't
ave beat us in a ttiousand years if I
hadn't had to shift to quarterback in
stead of playing my regular Job of
end. And those reports that they cir
cled my end are all bunk, of course,
because I didn't play end. I'm Just
telling you this because you taught
me how to play football and you
never taught me to let any one circle
my end. And another thing. Rock,
we didn't use any secret Notre Dame
plays."
Teams Are Wrecked.
As Anderson walked out Mr.
Rockne said to the Associated Tress
correspondent :
"No one but the boys themselves
could have convinced me that Eddie
Anderson, Cliet Wynne. Buck Shaw
and such men could do this thing.
They were like sons to me. I knew
they couldn't have done it and yet
they did. It isn't the loss of athlet'c
ability that hurts. It hits me right
down In the heart.
'Yes. our teams are wrecked but
they're not beaten. We are never
beaten until the game is over. We'll
take our lickings if they beat us next
year, but we'll fight to the finish."
Father Carey in a statement to
night said that he regretted the af
fair but was certainly thankful that
it had been cleared up and the guilty
persons punished.
"We wlil stand for no taint or hint
cf professionalism here," he said.
"Not even It If wrecks our teams for
ever. We don't permit a man to play
on any teams unless he is well up in
his studies and we won't permit any
other rule to be broken.
"My only regret is thst we didn't

LOOKS LIKE TOUGH WINTER
FOR ANY BEAVER HOLDOUTS
Klepper Indicates He Will Not
Announcing Sale of Del
BY. L. II. GREGORT.
TOOKS like a tough winter for the
holdouts. Bill Klepper very del-
Icately served notice on his ball
players yesterday that be will not
waste much time dickering with them
by announcing the sale of Del Baker,
first-string catcher for the Beavers
last year and the season before, to
Mobile in the Soutnern association.
Klepper maae no secret of It that the
reason for Baker's sale was his re
fusal to sign a 1922 contract at 1921
prices.
"Bert Nlehoff. who played third
base for Los Angeles last year, but
who la to manage Mobile next sea
son, made me an offer for Baker and
I have accepted it." explained Bill.
"Baker is a good catcher and I wish
him the best of luck, but this Is no
time for ball players to be holding
out. I offered Del the same contract
he had last year, but he wasn't satis
fied, so now I will let him dicker with
Nlehoff."
When Klepper took on Rowdy El
liott of Sacramento at the waiver
price of $750 recently it was pretty
generally figured that with Elliott on
his staff the Portland prexy would be
rather Independent with Baker. Be
sides Elliott the Beavers will have
Bruggy from the Philadelphia Nation
als and big Rip King to do the back
slopping. '
Baker came to Portland from the
Detroit Tigers in 1919. He has done
some mighty good backstopping for
the Beavers and has always been a
willing worker and a heady catcher.
For some reason, though, he never
was extremely popular with the fane.
Though the Southern association is a
notch lower than the Coast league,
it's quite likely that he will welcome
the change.
Every club in the league waived
on Del.
Sam Ross, the king of the slow ball
southpaws, dropped In to see Klepper
yesterday, and before he left the of
fice his signed contract reposed In a
pigeonhole. Sam is enthusiastic about
the team Bill has got together and
says he will do his durndest to win
20 ball games.
He made a proposal that Klepper
decided to take up. Sam said nothing
would suit him better than to report

HANLEY GETS AFFIDAVITS
l'REP YOUTHS DEN Y ATIILETIC
COLIil'SIOX BY COACH.
Charges of Hiring Northwest Stars
on Flat Salary to Flay for
Purdue Are Refuted.
PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 30. (Spe
cial.) A number of affidavits from
northwest high school players whom
Professor Leslie J. Ayers of the Uni
versity of Washington had alleged
Dick Hanley, coach of the local high
school, had "bought" to become stu
dents at Purdue university, Indiana,
and which tend to show that the
charges against Mr. Hanley are un
true, were brought back by him to
day from Seattle, where he went
to investigate the charges brought
against him.
Ayres alleged that Hanley. acting
as the assistant coach of Purdue, a
position offered him. had offered sev
eral players In Everett, Sedro-Woolly,
Seattle and in Pendleton a flat salary
of $100 to attend Purdue and play
football.
Every one of the -players mentioned
by Ayres have attached their names
to affidavits which Haney brought
hack with him In defense of his ac
tions. Each of them denies In writ
ing that Hanley made any unsports
manlike offers or that he brought
undue pressure to bear to persuade
them to choose the middle-western
institution.
Players who are represented by af
fidavits are: Harold Britt. Walter
Dailey, Glenn Carlson. George and Abe
Wilson, all of Everett, and Kenneth
Stendall. of Sedro-Woolley. The play
ers alleged to have been bought in
Pendleton have not materialised.
In Seattle Hanley found President

Waste Any Time Dickering by
Baker to Mobile Club.
much ahead of the main gang. Klep
per liked the idea so well that he has
about decided to send Sara and all the
pitchers and catchers he can get to
gether to San Bernardino about Feb
ruary 15 or 18. Most of the other
Coast league clubs are planning sim
ilar pre-season conditioning for their
pitchers.
At every training camp considera
ble time is lost because the pitchers
are the last men in shape. It gen
erally takes about two weeks before
they can think of cutting loose, and
the whole squad is held back in bat
ting practice that much.
But by sending the pitchers and
catchers to Ban Bernardino two
weeks ahead of time, Klepper thinks
they will have the soreness worked
off by the opening of regular train
ing camp and can begin to bear down
on the hitters right away.
The main squad of Beavers will be
instructed to shove off for training
camp so as to arrive at Pasadena by
March 1. Klepper telegraphed Tom
Xurner, his re w manager, last night
asking him to leave Philadelphia in
time to get here about February 10.
He wants to have Turner on the
ground so he can go ahead with him
and' make plans for the team.
One more good pitcher still is to
be purchased and Turner has been in
structed to make him a good one.
A right-hander is preferred. If Sam
Ross and Lefty Levereni both get into
good condition, that will about solve
the problem of left-handers.
Another caller at baseball headquar
ters was Gus Fisher, who will man
age the Oklahoma City team of the
Western league this coming season-
Gus was recommended for that Job by
Walter McCredle and though Klepper
could have sold him, he generously
gave the veteran hie outright release
so he could accept. Fisher appreciates
that and told Klepper that if he could
send any promising young ballplay
ers his way, he certainly would do so.
Gus has a lot of good baseball left
yet in his husky frame and he ex
pects to So the first string backstop
ping for his team. What he wants
more than anything else Just at pres
ent is a good southpaw. He tried to
induce Klepper to part with Sam Ross,
but Bill sat down on that proposal so
hard that Gus had to laugh It off.
Klepper thinks that with decent sup
port behind him for once, Sam will be
one of the league's winning hurlers.
Ayres sick. Ayres granted him a very
hurried interview, he said, and told
him that since he had secured t'.ie af
fidavits it might be well to in
vestigate the entire matter, which he
said he would do.
Hanley defends Delts and claims
that the whole episode is but a chap
ter in the persecution of Deitz and
that every college in the northwest
and the United States follows the
policy of securing football and ath
letic talent by offering men Jobs as
he did with the northwest players.
McKenna to Get Tryout.
CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. 30. Hughle
McKenna, Oregon Agricultural Col

at Stockton, Cal., at the end of the
winter terra, and will not return to
school until next fall. He will not be
eligible for football when he returns.

HARPER IS TOO ILL
TO- FIGHT
Pinkham May Be Signed to
Go On Instead.
FANS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Ringside Boys Anxious to See Bobby
Go TTp Against Top-Xotcher
After His Showing.
Bobby Harper probably will not
fight Joe Welling after all. Seattle
Robert got too strong a whiff of the
current east wind a couple of days
ago and has developed so bad a case
of snuffles, witn considerable of a
temperature Desldes, that it hardly
seems possible he can get in shape
for his soheduied ten-round go with
Welling Friaay night.
The. Portland boxing commission
met yesterday after it heard of
Harper's illness and decided that If
Bobby Isn't in shape by today, and It
is hardly likely that he will be. con
sidering his condition yesterday, to
postpone the card from Friday to
Tuesday of next week and match
Welling for that date with some other
tough lightweight.
There are plenty of good boys In
the northwest who ought to be able
to make it interesting for Joe. For
instance. Eddie Plnkman of Seattle,
Since he began his comeback cam
paign some months ago Pinkman has
been knocking a lot of the. boys dead.
Matchmaker Hansen was instructed
to get in touch with Eddie and see
how he feels about going on with
Welling.
Welling Miffed at First.
This will make the second post
ponement of the Welling card, which
originally was to have been held to
night. The commission put it off
until Friday night, when it learned
that Welling would not be here until
two days before the fight date and at
the same time laid down an ulti
matum that boys matched for ma'n
events hereafter must arrive and go
Into training at least five days prior
to the fight.
Welling arrived in town Saturday
night with his brother Frank, who
will look after his interests here. J09
was inclined to be a little miffed at
first when he learned the match had
been put over to Friday on his ac
count, but felt better about it when
he received a telegram yesterday
from Tom Walsh, his manager, say
ing It was all right. Joe said he
had been training en route and felt
good enough then and there to go
ten rounds with almost anybody.
The prospect of still another post
ponement doesn't set. very well with
him, but he says he will stick around
for the fight, whenever it comes off.
Welling worked out at the armory
yesterday afternoon with Joe Dunn,
who is in one of the preliminary
events on the same card. They boxed
five rounds and Welling looked mighty
good.
Right Hand Is Corker.
Once in a clinch Dunn accidentally
bumped Welling's left eye with his
head. It' was a hard crack and drew
blood from the eyelid and raised a
lump over it about the size of a
bantam's egg. Welling paid about
as little attention to the bump as if it
had been a gnat bite. He kept right
on boxing, though for a few momenta
he did seem to be laying them in on
Dunn a little harder than at first.
Welling has a corking right hand
to the body and he shoves it through
like lightning. He is mighty skillful
at feinting for an opening. Once
yesterday he had Dunn ducking 17
ways all at the same time from a suc
cession of lightning feints. Finally
he cut loose with his right Just as
Dunn dodged Into It.
Besides his five rounds of boxing.
Welling punished the punching bag
for several rounds and hit the sand
bag for a session or two. He can
make a punching bag sing to a tune.
Fans Are Disappointed.
The ringside boys will be disap
pointed that Harper is not to fight
Welling, for they wanted to see what
Bobby could do against a real top
notcher after his fine showing against
Bobby Ward and old Leach Cross. It
seems almost certain, though, that he
will have to pass up this fight. Even
if he feels better today he could
hardly be in shape after liis illn-s to
put up his best fight for at least a
couple of weeks.
The postponement also will be
tough on the Milwaukie boxing com
mission, which had announced that it
would hold a card the night of Feb
ruary 10, -ne week from Friday. Now
that card probably will have to be
postponed, too.

MAYBE WILSON LIKES TO BE
BARRED FROM BOXING BOUTS
Middleweight Who Broke Agreement to Fight Greb Finds Path of
Transgressing Harder Than Aggressing.
Th Oreffonlan has obtained th exclu
sive right to publish In Portland the ports
comment of Robert Edg-ren. acknowledged
to be the leading- boxing critic In the
United States today, beaides being a.n au
thority on all athletlo sports. Mr. Edgren'a
articles will appear in The Oregonlan three
times each. week. Watch lot them.
BY ROBERT EDGREM.
JOHXXT WILSON is flDdlng that
the path of the transgressor is
much harder than anything the
aggressor goes up against. If they
go on barring Wilson it won't be long
before he will have to travel to China
if he wants to "defend his title." But
I don't think that would worry Wilson
a whole lot. He'd probably prefer
defending the title in China to de
fending it in America. Much afer.
Funny, when all those stories were'
coming over here from England say
ing that Carpentler was a pale, wor
ried, logy Imitation of his old fighting
self. Wilson rushed a challenge to
fight Carpentler in Europe. Since
Carpentler knocked Cook of Australia
for a ten count, Wilson hasn't spent
a nickel for cable tolls.
Wonder if all this getting himself
barred in different places for break
ing his agreement to fight Greb in
Madison .Square garden isn't just a
slick trick of the alleged middle
weight champion's? A boxer who Is
barred can't fight. And that appears
to be Just what Wilson wants.
Long Jim Barnes and Jock Hutch
ison are living a hard life. Just at
present they are touring California,
playing golf on some of the best
courses north and south, living at the
best hotels, hospitably entertained
wherever they go, driven around
through orange groves and vineyards,
and quite possibly getting an occa
sional sample of something with an
orange flavor or concocted from the
grape.
Sometimes I don't know which is
more to be envied, a golf pro or a
millionaire.
Many millionaires don't get any
more for their money, in the way of
travel and entertainment, than Barnes
and Hutchison have. And many a
millionaire would give his millions
for the professional golfer's health
and skill in the game,
Wonder what John D. Rockefeller
would give to be able to shoot the
Wilshire Country club course In par?
It would be cheap at a hundred mil
lion of his money.

This is an important piece of legis

A recent class swimming meet at Stan
ford brought to light two men who, ac
cording to Coach Brondsten. are likely to
become national champions when they
have had more opportunity to learn the
game. One is a freshman named Chitten
den who made a plunge of 67 feet 9 inches
without previous coaching. Fletcher, a
aophomore. swam the 66-yard breast stroke
in 47:3. which is only 1 2-5 seconds siower
than the Pacific coast record established
iu 1914 by Mike JlcUcrMolt.

Crews of the University of California
were on the water for the first time this
season on January 6 under the watchful
eye at Coach Wallis. There were a first and
second varsity and two rresnman eignt
oared shells in the Initial workout. This
probably will be Wallis' last year in charge
of the blue and gold rowing. He never had
asked anything for bia services, which
have been given gratia for love of the
sport. His private business Interests are
such that ho feels he no longer can give
h-a time.

But to wear colored tights is a
good Idea. When a boxer goes into
the ring wearing running pants he
may look very clean and neat, and all
that sort of thing, and the costume
may be well adapted to any athletic
test. But off with he while running
pants and on with the "colored
tights."
They are more economical, because
it won't be necessary to wash them
and keep them clean, and economy is
the latest business Idea. Moreover,
purple, pink, green, yellow, blue, red
are all distinguishing colors and when
the boxers obliterate various features
by which they could be distinguished
one from the other, the colors will
serve for Identification. Besides that,
the commission can assign various
colors to the different fighters. For
instance, Dempsey red, Britton green.
Leonard black and blue, Kilbane old
gold, Buff pink, and Johnny Wilson
pale yellow.

White weighed only 137 pounds when

a fierce handicap for a match be

that last fight White knocked Leon

McGRAW BESET BY WORRY
Leader of Glnnts Doesn't Know
What to Do for Leadoff Man.
NEW TORK. Jan. 30 John Sic-
Craw, leader of the world champion
Giants, has gathered a great squad
for the 1922 cumpaign but he is bexet
with a worry that never bothered
him before he parted with George
Burns.
"Yes." said McGraw, before he left
for Cuba several days ago, "Ju:tt tell
me who I'll use for a lead-off man.
I've got plenty of hard hitters. Includ
ing Groh. Frisch and Toung, but I
wsnt to use 'em in the clean-up spots.
Groh haa had leadoff experience, but
when he swings at a ball he seldom
misses. I need him at bat when men
are on bases."
McGraw said he thought Frisch. a
free hitler, whs best suited for the
third or fourth niche, and that Young
was always good somewhere around
the cleanup position. Leaving Ban
croft as a possible lead-off man, for
Meusel and Kelly are not being con
sidered, and the Glunt leader doesn't
want to take a chance on any of the
new men. So it's a tossup between
Groh and Bancroft.
