The Vikings have two games yet te plav with the Oregon AiM and two w'th Idaho. Tha Agg.es are out of the race In any event. Idaho's sole chance Is to win both the games with Washington. Idaho Is tied now with Washington, but has played only four conference a-ames to the Vikings' ten. Consequently all Washington need do is to win one of the two clashes to retain the lead on percentage. Bears Oat of Raaaias. Stanford and California both are in ir tha runnlnsr.

Idaho dropped i same Saturday to the i.niversity oi Monta-ia. but though that affects her Northwest conference standing. It has no bearing on the Coast conference percentages, for Montana is not a Coast conference college. While Waanington has been piling up ten straight, basketball victories, the University of Oregon has done the exact reverse by losing ten straight.

The Oregon Agaies. who started the eeaeon so bravely, fell before Wash ington In two close games.

M ANT new faces will be seen this coming season in Pacific Coast league pitching circles. Every club In the league but Sacramento has added hurlers of reputation to its staff. Some of them, like Hod Eiler of Cincinnati world series and "shine ball" fame, were big figures In the major leagues not many seasons ago. Eller will pitch for Oakland. Un like most big leaguers who come back to the minors, the burly Hod is by no means a used-up old-timer. He is still comparatively a young fellow with plenty of stuff on the ball. For two seasons, however, he has been suffering from grief and shell shock over the action of the rule makers in I abolishing his shine ball. i-ier specialised on that ball and made it his hobby and chief reliance, just aa Strangler Lewis specialised on the headlock in wrestling. When the shine bail waa ruled out Eiler couldn't find his bearings. Maybe he will come to himself out here and, if he does, be Is almost a certainty to return later to the big show. Seattle has two pitchers that every body will want to see. One of them is Yean Gregg, who ranks as one of the great southpaw pitchers of ail time. Gregg was Just as much a sen sation in the American league as he was with Portland in the Coast league back In 1919. when he estab lished a league strikeout record that has stood to this day and helped win the first of a series of four pennants in five years for the B, avers. The big question In Gregg's case, of course, is whether he can come back with his old stuff after having been out of league baseball for several years. If he had not pitched In the interim, it is hardly likely that he could come back. Hut when Gregg re tired from the majors to go ranching In Canada he didn't quit pitching. He has been exercising his salary wing every summer since then wtih Canada bush teams and he says, and so do players who have tried to bat against him. that he Is just as good as he ever was. Walter McCredie. who induced Gregg to sign with Seattle, is confi dent that, he will be the bum old winner. All over the circuit, espe cially In the California towns, Gregg's comeback is taken very seri ously. They remember him particu larly in San Francisco for his won derful work In 1910, and when he pitches there all the bugs will be out to see him work. "Gregg Is so earnest in his come back that he has asked me to send him to Boyes Springs ahead of all the pitchers," said Walter McCredie the other day. "I expect him here In Portland this week on his way south. Gregg says his only regret about his comeback is that he isn't pitching for Portland. For senti mental reasons he would like to play once more In the city where he made his class AA league uebut years ago. and from which majors. he went to the Seattle also will have another pitcher of national prominence in Jim Shaw, a big right-hander from Washington. Shaw was one of the best winners In the American league until he hurt his knee. That ruined his ef fectiveness. If his knee doesn't heal Seattle is protected in the deal by having until May 15 to turn him back to Washington. But McCredie is confident that Doc Spencer of Los Angeles, who has become famous among ball players as a bonesetter. can fix up the knee and make Shaw as good as new. With his knee right there is no question about his pitch ing effectiveness. Shaw has the stuff and what is more, knows how to use It. Seattle will present a new left hander to the league in Berger, bought from the Western league on the. recommendation of Billy Speas. who knows a ball player when he sees one. Since acting on fepeas ad vice. McCredie has had a letter from Jack Holland, owner of the Oklahoma City club In the Western league. which Gus Fisher will manage this season, telling him he considers Ber ger so good that he offered two high-class players for him. Two other new Seattle flingers will be Joe Finneran from Newark, a big winner with ernon two years as and Fisher from Reading, Pa. see The Portland pitching staff will be made up almost entirely of new faces, or at least of new faces in Portland, though several of the pitch ers have played with other clubs of the Coast league. The ace of the staff from present Indications will be Middleton. procured from Detroit in the Johnson-Pillette deal, which also brings Vernon Parks here. Middleton was a Tiger regular last season and is considered a smart pitcher. Vernon Parks will be new here under that name, but not by his old name of Harold Brooks, the nom de plume under which he pitched I winning ball for Portland back in NOW SToP Yoor vminimc. f Aw JZZTl n y P I You-, cusht to ee clm to I CHRirwu !

Suds Sutherland will not be new, for Suds was the best hurler on the staff in 1920 and a big winner in ll. Roy Crumpler, southpaw, will be new here, though he pitched for San Francisco last year. Lefty Leverenz also will be making his debut in a Portland uniform, but can hardly be called a stranger to the league, inasmuch as he has pitched for about every club In it at one time or another. The popular im pression is that Leverenz is on the shady side of 70, but Bill Klepper swears he has seen in the Leverenz family bible the record of Lefty's birth, and that it happened only 31 years ago. Then there will be young Buck Freeman, a collegian who worked a few games with the Philadelphia Athletics. The only holdovers on the staff are Sam Ross and Ralph Cole man, unless one or two of the 1921 recruits come through. Besides Hod Eller, the Oakland club will have Herb Brenton, switched from Seattle by Cincinnati in part payment for Third Baseman PinellL Those two are the only new hurlers with the Oaks, except for some bushers. Los Angeles will have three strange faces in York, a left-hander from the Chicago Cubs, Wallace from Victoria and Ponder frotn the Cubs. Ponder Is considered a whale of a pitcher. He cost the Cubs a big sum when they bought him from Pittsburg last season. York is the young southpaw Portland was supposed to get from the Cubs last spring, but didn't The Cubs were so short of pitching ma terial that they used York as a reg ular In 1921, but probably they figure that he needs another season in the minors. Bill Esslck will present Bill James, the big fellow with the dazzling speed who was with Portland years ago. Since then he has been with about every club in the majors and quite a few in the minors. Also with the Tigers will be Gilder of Grand Rapids, and Doyle of Joplln and Atlanta. Sacramento is standing pat on "last year's lineup. In the box as well as in the infield and outfield, but San Francisco has several hurlers new to that town. The list includes Coumbe, a southpaw from Cincinnati, who has been in the big leagues a good many seasons; Alten, a left hander with Oakland last year, and Bob Geary, who went from Seattle to Cincinnati only to be rushed back to the Coast league in part payment for Caveney and Johnny Couch. Not much is definite yet about the Salt Lake Bees, but it is quite likely that one of the men on their pitching staff will be Winn Noyes. an ex Portland flinger who went from here to the Philadelphia Athletics. Noyes enlisted in the army during the war. but has been pitching for Utah and Idaho buBh clubs since 1919. He claims to be In good condition.

THE DAYS OF Bouts Fairly Bristle With An ticipated Action. CHEST TO REAP PROFITS Fighters to Get What Contracts Called For, With Net Pro ceeds Going to Charity. Tha fact that the boxing show to morrow night at the armory has been turned into a benefit lor ins com munity chest doesn't mean that the boys appearing on the card will ease up on each other. Benefit shows sometimes mean exhibition bouts, but the fighters on Tuesday night's card will get the same percentage of the gate receipts as their contracts called for before it wm decided to give the proceeds to the chest. Throush an arrangement with Al Kader of the Mystic Shrine, the prof its of the show will be turned over to the community chest Instead oi to the Shrine in payment of an old debt. Card Besneaki Action, From the curtain-raiser to the main event the card looks like one of action. Eddie Pinkman ana joe Welling are to meet in the main event. The question is whether Pink man, with his powerful right hand, can do something that practically every other lightweight in the coun try has failed to do that is, stop the Chicago battler. Champion Benny Leonard is cred ited with a knockout over Welling In 14 rounds, but the Chicagoan even then didn't take the full count. He was on his feet when the fight was stopped. 1 made just two mistakes in that fight with Leonard," said Welling yesterday. "The first was in the fifth round. If I hadn't been a little over anxious then I might have planted a K. O. on the champions chin. I caught him with a left Jab at the start of the fifth and followed it with another left. Then I shot In a right to the chin and the champion fell on the ropes. Mistake Made In Thirteenth. "Instead of measuring him right then and there I rushed in and he closed with me in a clinch which gave him a chance to clear his head. "My other mistake was in the 13th. The fight had been about even for the first 12 rounds. In the 13th fell short with a left lead and left an opening for Leonard to step in and crash me. I was knocked down three times in that round. The first two times I did not take a count, but the third time I stayed down for a count of six. He caught me again in the next session and this time I took a count of seven. The ringside fans began shouting to stop tha fight, and the referee stepped In -and raised Benny's hand. I was on my feet at the time and could have weathered the storm." Welling has fought Johnny Dundee, Junior lightweight champion, eight times, winning seven of the fights. Dundee beat Joe Benjamin in New York Friday night, getting the deci sion at the end of 15 rounds. Welling also has fought Benjamin twice. He lost a newspaper decision in the first bout, but in the second contest he gave Benjamin a neat lacing. Good Lightweights Fought. Welling has fought every good lightweight in the country, except Charley White and Willie Jackson. He has tried several times to get White in the ring, but the latter has always backed out. When a Welling Jackson fight ia suggested Jakcson always insists that Welling make 130 pounds or less before he will fight him. Welling was down to 133 pounds yesterday, but he will enter the ring weighing around 135 pounds. All the talk concerning Leonard's inaDiuty to make the lightweight limit Is bunk, according to Welling. The champion can make 135 pounds at 2 o'clock the afternoon of the fight any time he wants to do it, says Welling. 3IORROW TO BOX HARRAHAN Pair to Mix Tonight in Main Event of Aberdeen Smoker.

The chivalrous proclivities of Oscar Matthew Nelson, popularly known as "Battling" Nel son, prize fighter, today landed him in a cell, where he was held several hours before he was identified-, and bail offered for his release. Nelson told the police he was pass Ing a house when he heard a baby crying and a woman screaming. He said he catered and saw a man slap ping a woman. 'Better use discretion," Nelson told the man, and the latter agreed that he had. Then Nelson said another man slapped the woman and Nelson made him stop. Nelson said the police patrol arrived about this time and the entire party was taken to the police station. He complained that he was locked up with uncongenial companions and said he would take the matter up with Chief of Police Fitzmorris. A few weeks ago Nelson was forced to pay admission for the first time to a boxing exhibition because he could not convince the promoters he was the ex-famous fighter.

No Charge for Alterations CONFERENCE ISSUE IIITALiL", OUTSIDE TEAMS HAVE ADVAN TAGE IN ATHLETICS. Question of Refusing to Play With Schools AVlthout Restrictions Agitates Country. The question now debated at the University of California as to whether that institution will play teams out side the college conference, is not confined to California alone. Most of the big university football teams. Including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, the Big Ten conterence and the Pacific coast conference, must abide by certain laws. For in- stance, the football teams may not hecln nractice until a specified date. The one-year eligibility rule is en - forced strictly. This means tnat no first-year man is eligible to com pete, which prevents the temptation to import men merely tor the sane of their athletic ability. Another rule requires that a man may repre sent his university only three years. There are other restrictions. Last fall Princeton was defeated by Annapolis. Every cadet,' even the first-year men, is eligible for the navy team. Last year the navy be gan training early in August under the supervision of Coach Folwell, who was particularly eager to make good showing against Princeton. This gave the midshipmen a solid six weeks' start over the Tigers. Needless to say what six weeks means in perfecting team play and getting the men into shape. In other words, thenavy was in mid-season shape when it met Princeton, while the latter had hardly gotten together. A few of the foremost football teams today are under no restric tions whatever and- as long as the restricted teams are willing to play against them, well and good, but there Is a strong feeling among the restricted colleges that the unre stricted ones have been making capi tal out of the situation. So it would not be surprising if this feeling crystallized into act'on. A defeat is a defeat to the public, which is ignorant of the conditions under which the game is played. The restricted colleges have their rem edy if they want to use it. DENTISTS BEAT COLLEGIANS Score in Nlp-and-Tuck Basketball Game Is 17 to IS. MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.)
