CHIDING GIVEN - ALUMNI
Over-Enthnsiastic Graduates Said
to Be Competing for Services
of Coaches Too Dearly.
PHILADELPHIA- Jiru 51. College
ports are headed toward ruin through
too keen competition for supremacy.
R. T. McKeni'm professor of sculpture
and physical director of the University
of Pennsylvania, declared in an ad
drees today.
"Athletic activity Is the best sub
titute for war and every virile na
tion must have one or the other,"
he said, -but the encroachments of
commerciahxation have endangered
intercollegiate athletics.
"At this time over-enthusiast'c
alumni of Institution after institution
are competing for the services of
coaches to turn out winning teams at
uaLari thiit surpass the salary of the
president. This la especially true in
the west.
' Their memory does not go back a
few yeirs to the time when the rank
iipks of the abuses they are thus- fos
tering caused the total abolition of
intercollegiate contests In more than
one prominent college and menaced
the very existence of football as a
college game.
"They do not remember that the
game was saved only with difficulty
by the national college association
through a drastic reform in its con
duct and rules. At present more than
one college president, himself a-lover
of clean eport, is looking toward this
goal."

TEMPTATION TO BE REMOVED
Concerted Action to Be Taken by
Western Conference Officials.
IOWA CITY. Ia.. Jan. 31. (By the
Associated Press.) Western confer
ence officials are likely to take con
certed action at their meeting here
June 3 and 3 to keep big ten athletes
from being tempted into professional
ism, according to Howard Jones, ath
letic director of the L'niveraity of
Iowa.
Director Jones said that action on
the part of all the conference school
heads will be a factor in combating
the temptations held out to university
athletes, but said he was of the opin
ion that the matter of violating play
ing rules largely was up to the hon
esty of the inU.vidual athletic stars.
"Officials could do little in case the.
athletes deliberately pass up their
chances to participate in varsity
spurts for the dollars which may be
offered for their services in semi
pro athletics." he said.

MARTY KRUG NOT BOTHERED
BY HOLDOUT FEVER THIS YEAR
Beaver Second Baseman, Who Gained Reputation of Being Irreconcilable
Last Season, Writes Agreeing to Terms.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
M'
ARTY KRCQ sot the reputa
tion last year and the season
before for being a holdout, but
nothing like that is bothering the
Beaver second baseman this season.
Bill Klepper- got a letter from Marty
yesterday accepting terms and say
ing he would forward his signed
contract in a few days.
Marty always has maintained that
his holdout reputation really is not
deserved. It will be remembered
that for weeks prior to the opening
of the season last year he remained
at San Diego, declining to report to
the Beavers, following the trade of
Paddy Siglin to Salt Lake for him.
unless his terms were met. Finally
the McCredies met his terms and
then Marty reported and gave thej
"Everybody has me tagged for a
holdout," remarked Marty when he
reported at Santa Maria last March,
"but they have me tagged wrong. I
am not & holdout, nor am 1 a hard
fellow to deal with. All that I ask
is my rights.
"I was not holding out against the
McCredies, but against Salt Lake.
They know up there that I never
would play another game for that
club, not even if I had to dig sewers
for a living. They thought when
they traded me that the thing was
settled, but it was not. I had an
agreement with the Salt Lake club
that was not' lived up to, so I deter
mined to collect the money due me
and plenty of Interest to boot I have
done that and the score is even, so
now I will give Portland the very
best I have."
Marty did all of that. And now,
further bearing out what he had to
say In his own .behalf, he is signing
up this season without a quibble.
Prexy Klepper sent him a contract
that Klepper thought filled the bill,
and evidently Marty thought so. too.
Perhaps it will be news to Marty
that before his holdout last season
was settled the Salt Lake club had
to kick through with S50 a month
on his salary.
It doesn't look as if the Portland
club will be bothered much with hold
itis fever. The only real holdout to
date has been Del Baker, and Del got
himself shipped to the Southern
league for his pains.
Not to mention a host of semi-pros
and young phenoms. Klepper and his
able assistant. Fred Rivers, to date
have locked up in their office safe
the signed contracts or letters ac
cepting terms from ten regulars. The
list includes Marty Krug. second base
man, who has accepted terms; Char
ley High and LeRoy Gressett. out
fielders; Emmett McCann. shortstop;
Sam Ross, Ralph Coleman and Wal
ter Leverenx. pitchers; Rip King and
Rowdy Elliott, catchers; and Joe
Sargent, third baseman. -
Bruggy. the big catcher from the
Philadelphia Nationals, whose sale
to the Beavers for $6500 seems to
have stirred up the whole National
leacrtie. hasn't stcned nn. but Tom
Turner, the Portland manager, writ-I
Ing from Philadelphia, says Bruggy
will not be a holdout.
Incidentally, this big fellow Bruggy
is not only a corking good baseball
catcher, but a star professional bas
ketball player. His position is cen
ter and he makes a pretty good liv
ing through the winter playing on
one of the professional cage fives
about Philadelphia. This part of the
country doesn't know much about
professional basketball yet, but back
there it is a major sport.
If more professional wrestlers were
of the type of Carroll Gardner, bet
ter known as "Pinky," who grapples
with Ted Thye. the Multnomah club
instructor, at the Heilig theater to
night, the professional wrestling
game would be in a better odor.
Gardner is a thorough gentleman, a
youth of education and a mighty fine
young fellow all around.
He became interested in wrestling
as a student at Union college. in
Schenectady, X. T. After rising to
the top as an amateur, he found that
he liked the game so well that he
decided to turn professional. That
was in 1913. Since then he has
wrestled some of the best mat men
in the middleweight class and has
made quite a name for himself.
Though his best wrestling weight is
163 pounds, he has ambitions to win
the middleweight title. J
He probably never will do it,
though, so long as the middleweight
limit remains at 158 pounds, for he
is a light heavy rather than a middle.
WHEN
There is considerable talk "of rais
ing the limit to 160. in which case
Gardner would have a chance. But
having to make 158 pounds weakens
him so much that he hasn't the
strength to last out a hard match.
That's what happened at Los An
geles recently. where he was de
feated in two matches by Walter
Miller. Gardner had to make 158
pounds at 3 o'clock the afternoon of
each match. In the last one he was
down to 161 pounds that morning,
but to make that he had to live on
one meal a day through his training
period and drink almost no water.
But 161 pound-s isn't 158, so Gardner
had to go through the unpleasant
process of "steaming out." He went
into the steam room weighing 161
and when he came out an hour later
a
he still weighed one pound too much
t 159. So back again he went for an
other half hour of the hot-room
agony. This time the weight came
off more easily than be had expected
and .he weighed in at 157.
"But naturally, after going through
all that," said Gardner yesterday, "1
didn't have much pep left. I looked
!1 right and I felt fairly well, but 1
simply didn't have the reserve
strength. I don't think I will ever
again agree to make 158 pounds for
any wrestler."
Ted Thye lost to Miller at Los
Angeles last summer In much the
same way. At 163 to 165 Thye is one
of the strongest men on the mat. But
when he had to make 158 for Miller,
he was simply sapped out and didn't
make anything like his usual show
ing. Gardner and Thye are about the
same weight. Both are strong, active j
lenuws, irung as oxen dui iasL
Gardner probably is a little faster
than Thye in fact, depends more on
his speed and agility than on any par
ticular hold. Thye is'an expert on the
double wrlstlock. He can clamp on
that lock from almost any position
and in the most unexpected ways.
That hold is Thye's best bet. He has
it down so well, and is so strong, that
it takes a mighty strong man to keep
from bejng thrown by it. That is
why so" many of the men Thye
wrestles are on the defensive through
the match.
Eddie Plnkman, who will substitute
for Bobby Harper against Joe Welling
at the armory next Tuesday night, is
no setup for anybody. Pinkman is a
strong, husky fellow with a punch.
He is not particularly clever, but he
can take a lot of punches to give one
good one.
Of course every boxing fan here
abouts is sadly disappointed that the
Harper match against Welling is off,
because Harper has been coming so
fast of late that the boys all wanted
to see what he could do against a real
topnotcher. But with Bobby Just re
covering from a bad attack of grip, it
would have been foily for him to take
on a man like welling until tie had
fully recovered.
Pinkman will make It a fight, don't
worry about that. But Pinkman is
hot a championship possibility, while
Harper pas prospects.

COLUMBIA BOOKS GAMES
TRACK AND FIELD MEET TO BE

15 Basketball, 24 Baseball and 8
" Football Contests Likely to
Be Scheduled.
Athletic prospects have assumed a
much brighter hue at Columbia uni
versity since that school's applica
tion for admittance to the Oregon
High School Athletic association has
been accepted. Clipper Smith, ath
letic director and coach, had begun
to lose heart when Columbia was
voted out of the Portland public
school league, and then for a time
was prevented from scheduling games
with out-of-town high schools be
cause it was not a member of the
state association.
Columbia had arranged about eight
basketball games and seven football
contests for next season when the
state association a month ago adopted
a ruling that its members could not
play any teams outside the associa
tion. Naturally that automatically
canceled all these games, and the
high schools began writing in their
regrets.
Now Smith and George Haller, ath
letic manager, are busily lining up a
basketball, .baseball and . football
schedule for 1922. Basketball games
are sought with Astoria. St. Helens,
Rainier, Gresham, Hill Military acad
emy, Newberg, McMinnville, Eugene,
Corvallis and Forest Grove high
schools.
Columbia also will meet the Oregon
university freshmen and the Oregon
Aggie rook basketball teams if it Is
not- too late to schedule them. A trip
to Eugene and Corvallis, playing the
high schools of each city and the col
lege first-year hoopers, is planned.
The Columbia basket tossers have
been practicing right along and are
In condition for a heavy schedule.
Smith and Haller hope to schedule at
least 15 basketball games, 24 baseball
games and eight football games for
this year. Arrangements are under
way to bring seven of the best out-of-town
high school football teams
who are members of the Oregon High
School Athletic association to Port
land next football season.
The annual Columbia indoor track
and field meet, which has started the
track season In Oregon for many
years, will be held April 15. Because
of the rule that outside high schools
may not compete against the Port
land high schools, because the latter
are not members of the association,
the meet may be staged with three
separate groups of competition.
There will be open events on the
programme for the college and ama
teur athletic club teams, events for
the high schools who are members
of the state association, and events
for the Portland public high schools,
in tnis way the members and non
members would not be competing
against eacn otner, yet there would
be plenty of competition for all con
cerned. .
