15. TnE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, AmiC 13, 1922 HUT SEASON OPEN. IN STATE SATURDAY High Waters Prevail, but Streams Are Clear. ELIMINATION OF PLACEMENT GOAL KICK BENEFIT TO ALL Prohibiting of "Clipping,". Classed as Unnecessary Roughness, Is Another Improvement Noted in Football. i FAIR ANGLING PROSPECT Bait and Spoon Fishing Will Be Required Until Warmer Days. Portlanders Lured. A late spring docs not speak any too well for a grand opening of the 1922 trout season Saturday. But al though high water prevails in prac tically every river and creek in the state, the fact that the water In the streams is exceptionally clear for flood conditions makes the situation look better for the anglers. Much snow in the uplands and mountains and the late spring are re sponsible for the swollen (orrents. But high water, muddy water, bad roads, rain storms, blizzards or earth quakes will not avail to keep the devotees of the rod and fly from tak ing to the tall and uncut tomorrow ox as soon as they can make arrange ments. The outlook is for plenty of fish In most of the Oregon streams this season, which extends from tomorrow to November 30. Most real sportsmen prefer fly fish ing, but it will be another month or more before flyfishing will be good. It will be all bait and spoon angling until warm weather. Galea Creek Objective. The streams closest to home natur ally will get the early play. Gales creek, out from Forest Grove, will be the objective of many. The water la high there, but clear and fish abound. Only the main creek Is open, as all the forks of Gales creek are closed waters. The Clackamas river and its tribu taries are always papular. The main stem, Deep creek, Eagle creek, Sal monberry creek and others are with ' In easy reach of Portland. Moialla river, Patton creek, reached via Patton station; Scrogglns creek, Tualatin river and other small streams can be worked out of Gaston, Or. The Yamhill and Willamina riv ers are both high but like most of the ethers, waters are reported clear. Leaving Portland from another di rection, the angler can fish the Scap poose river or Milton creek, out of St. Helens; Big creek at Napa, Or.; Lake creek at Swiss Home and the Suis-Iaw river and tribataries. West of Portland flows Dairy creek, out of Hillsboro, which will get quite a play. Several angling parties will try their luck there. McKenzie la Popular. Many Portland and Willamette val ley fishermen will head for the old reliable McKenzie river, out of Eu gene. The McKenzie is always good for a. catch, although It is still early for its territory. Those who can get away for sev eral days will go right on through to the coast and the Tillamook coun try, where there are many fine streams. The coastal rivers which are most poj)ular are the Trask, Nes tucca, Wilson, Miami, Kilches nd Ne halem. In Clatosp county back of Astoria and at Seaside are the Necanicum river, Lewis and Clark river, Young's , river and Klatskanine river. Nearer than these is the Claskanie river, out of Ciatskanie, Or., and other streams about half way between Port land and Astoria. .Reports from The Dalles are that the Deschutes river, one of the great est fishing streams in Oregon, is in tad condition yet and overflowing its tanks. The water is not only high but muddy, so it will be some time yet before fishing is good there. Rogue Magnet Later. The Rogue is another stream, but a. little too far from Portland for the one-d.iy man. Later in the sea son, though, there will be hundreds of Portland anglers to fish along the Rogue and bordering streams. Plenty of salmon trout and cut throats over the ten-inch mark have been taken from the coastal streams this year which speaks well for the season. Oie rortland party returned from the Trask Monday with a mess of 40 beauties from ten inches up. Many will forego the trout for a few weeks to try for the husky sal mon. Salmon fishing has not been up to expectations yet and will not be until a few days of warm weather etart the fish up the Willamette. There are plenty pf fish in the Colum bia but the water is cold and they - are not moving upstream. The advent of the smelt run usually means that the salmon, are close behind. A tew day? of warm weather and the Wil lamette f--om just below Jennings Lodge to the Oregon City falls will be full of royal chinooks. Bans Season Closes. Coincident with the opening of 'the trout season tomorrow the bass sea son will close for a two-month pe riod, to reopen June 15. Last year the closed period on bass continued to May 15, but has been extended another month this year. Anglers are warned that they will encounter some bad road on Clats kanie hill, between St. Helens and Mist, and - from McMinnville to the Grande Round post office. A party headed by Paul Ferrln and Arthur Little will strike out for the Siuslaw and Lake creek. J. C. Braily, Jim Seavey. Bill Frier and Jack Hel per will head for the McKenzie, while Frank Thorn will test his opening day luck at Dairy creek.

BY ROBERT EDGREN. Famous New York Sports Critic. THE most important rule cnange in football this year is the elim ination of the placement of goal kick after a touchdown. This will change a long-honored custom, and may be objected to by some of the old-timers who think that football should be played as It always has been played, Just because it always has been played that way. If you get what I mean. But it's a safe guess that 90 per cent of the football fans and players, old time and new, approve the change. There always has been something unfair about the final kick for goal and the added point given or the ef fort of one man. Football is, above all other games, a matter of team play. When a team by hard, driving has scored a touchdown, and the winning or losing of the game hap pens to depend upon the calmness and skill of the one man and a large element of luck, team play doesn't get Its full credit. There are many situations in which the kick for goal is hardly an even proposition for both teams. One team scores a touchdown and the other has not yet scored. The kick or goal under these circumstances is a small nerve strain on the man who does the kicking. But suppose the other team, near the end of the game, scores a touch down and must have the one point for the goal kick to even the score and prevent defeat, no other scbring being likely in the short time re maining. Then there is a tremendous nerve strain on the man who tries to boot the bail over the rival crossbar. A slip, a slight change in timing caused by tense, nerves, a puff -of wind may make him miss. And then, although the two teams have been absolutely equal in playing strength and skill, one goes down to undeserved defeat. This may be a small matter to some of the spectators. But a college boy doesn't look at it that way. I've known college players who would rather lose a leg than toss the big game of the season to a hereditary rival. And that's no exaggeration. The substitution of a team play from the five yard line by the team that has just scored, in which the scoring team is given one chance to score again for a single added point through any legitimate football play, is fair to both sides, and will be much more exciting to the spectators than the absolute try for goal from place ment. Another improvement worth men tioning is the prohibiting of "clip ping," which is now classed as "un necessary roughness." I think I no ticed the necessity for this rule last season when Centre played Arizona at San Diego December 26, more than in any other game I saw ease or west The rule says "clipping is throwing the body from behind across the leg or legs; below the knees, of a player not carrying the ball. . Red Roberts, former all-Amerlcan tackle, and huge, broad shouldered powerful fellow with enough fat to make him a human steam roller, was adept at "clipping." He'd follow an Arizona man down the field, when out of play, and with a half-rolling, head long plunge throw himself across the other fellow s calves or heels. One victim was practically put out of the game. The ball had gone down the field and he was jogging along far in the rear with Roberts just be hind, when Roberts clipped him neat ly, rolled over and was up and on his way, laughing, before the Arizona man realized what had happened. The look of surprise on the Arizona man's face was comical. But the ef feet of the clipping wasn't. Big Rob erts had dropped his weight on the other player's leg when it was stretched behind in a stride, giving his ankle a bad wrench. The Arizona man limped into line, and whenever I saw him afterward he was limping badly and unable to make much speed. I think he was taken out. There was nothing unusual in this Roberts was merely playing one of the tricks of the game. But it can t be done any more. Football is im proving. There might have been a lot more of excitement over a Leonard-White fight if White hadn't met Dundee. White is a slow, deliberate fellow with a powerful "kick," and a terror to any slow man. He is dangerous to a fast boxer only when he manages to get over a wallop. Leonard is an entirely different kind of boxer, and an ideal champion. He beats them all, whether they're fast or slow, clever or rugged, tap pers and mixers alike. The more I see of other very good lightweights the better I like Benny Leonard's style of fighting. He's In a class all by himself among the lightweights of to day. When Charlie Paddock turned down an offer of $20,000 and all expenses to turn professional and go on a sprinting tour of the world he showed the real amateur spirit. Paddock may not do .much more running. He ex pects to run a few races in Hawaii while on a visit this coming month, and he may possibly run in the na tional championships when he comes home, especially as it seems now Bob McAllister, the new stepping marvel, may give him hot competition. Paddock intends o make writing his profession,-and as he writes more on amateur sport than any other topic he doesn't want to lose his "class" as an amateur, whether he retires ot not. At that a fellow whose father builds him a private hundred-yard track to train on, and who has "Paddock 'field," the big Pasadena stadium now under construction, named after him, doesn't need to turn professional to add any thing to either his purse or his reputation. be taken In Wallowa lake and tributary streams only.

Charley Keppen, c-.thletic director aThe Los Angeles Athletic club, has telegraphed the Multnomah Athletic club at Port land requesting that club to send Clayton Frye, Stanley Frye and Dale Freeman, three winners in the recent American Amateur Union pugilistic tourney at Portland, to Los Angeles to compete in an inter-club boxing tournament next month. Clayton Frye won the Pacific coast welterweight title; Stanley Frye, the coast iight-heavyweight crown, and Dale Freeman, the lightweight honors. They are perhaps the three best amateurs boxing under the winged-M colors and at least the best at their respective weights. The Frye brothers won northwest amateur titles as well at the recent Pacific northwest cham pionships in Spokane. The Multnomah club officials will take up the question of sending the boys south at next Monday's board meeting, but without a doubt will comply wi'h the southern institution's request. It has been some time since any Multnomah club boxers have shown their wares in Los Angeles, al though Los Angeles representatives have boxed here several times in in terclub tournaments.

Course Over Lake Washington to Terminate So Finish of Race . Will Be Seen by All. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, April 12. (Special.) With the Golden Bear oarsmen to arrive In Seattle Sunday morning, and the seats in the varsity boat for Washington practically filled, students at the Uni versity of Washington are looking forward to the annual race with Cali fornia with keen interest, which is now tentatively set for April 21 at 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon. The three-mile course over Lake Washington will terminate in the ca nal between Lakes Washington and Union, which will make it possible for thousands to see the finish. In case of rough water for the two days, it is possible that the course may be changed to Lake Union, but this will not be done unless the weather de mandst Coach Leader, Washington's crew mentor, a disciple of the famous Con nibear, whose stroke he uses In coach ing varsity oarsmen, -is giving little credit to the pessimistic reports com ing from the California camp con cerning the poor condition of the oarsmen, and Leader is putting his men through strenuous workouts each day in anticipation of a close race.

A. business men's vol leyball teams took Multnomah club's two sextets into camp in the first tournament of a series last night, winning eight games out of nine. A return match will be played at the club gymnasium next Thursday nie'ht- Though the "Y" came away with the honors. At was far from a wain away and a distinct change from the competition of last year, when muii nomah had no team which could give the association men a close contest. The outfits put into the field this season by the club were improved 100 per cent over last year s aggre gations, though the personnel was largely the- same, and the ' X nar rowly escaped a drubbing. In spite of the heavy percentage of games won. If the "Y" teams were somewhat overconfident when they went into the tournament last night, any ves tige of overconf idence will be wiped away when they face the Multnomah teams on the latter's home ground next Thursday. The matches promise to be hard fought and sensational. Last night's playing was replete with rapid recoveries, smashing volleys and accurate passing on both sides, with the longer experience of the "Y" men standing them well in stead in critical moments. The team lineups were: "Y" No. 1 Banner R. Brooke, captain, , E. A. Sputhwick, Jerry Owen, C. L. Rey nolds, W. B. Shively, H. E. Randall and Oscar Heintz. "Y" No. 2 I. C. Cunningham, captain; A. L.

Brownsville citizens, espe cially members of the Baptist church here, where the Los Angeles bandit used to preach, are taking a lively interest in the pews from Los Angeles concerning the ehooting of Cox by Herbert Wilson, the Brownsville ex- minister. Ed Starr, who was post master at the time, remembers that Wilson betrayed his absolute illite racy by sending out to his friends postcards which were veritable liter ary curiosities. His sermons, too, betrayed the fact that Wilson was totally unprepared to preach. His astounding self-possession and nerve carried him through. He suddenly left Brownsville, after seven months in town, leaving for parts unknown. Wilson came here from Canada. In view of his amazing criminal record. members of his former congregation are wonderlrg if he was not, during the time he was here, a, fugitive from justice. It is recalled that Wilson was peculiarly sphinx-like during his stay here. SCHOOL MEETINGS. LISTED Union High Proposal for Canby Will Receive Attention. CANBY. Or., April 12. (Special.)

If the jiu jitsu match at the Heilig theater tonight, between Ad Santel, light heavyweight champion of the world, and Tarro Miyake, the Japa nese muscle-grinder, lives up to ad vance notices, the public will see one hour of rough-house workmanship on the mat. ! The match will be straight Jiu jitsu, with both men togged out in Japanese wrestling jacKeis. o grabbing the jackets, the wrestlers of Nippon tosa one another about like sacks of flour. A lot OI leg anu arm twisting also enters into a jiu jitsu match. .Tin 1ttsu beins- a native Japanese sport, it is natural that Miyake should be well versed in the art, tor me orientals take to jiu jitsu like ducks to water. But Santel is no novice at the Japanese system. He nas mace a close study of the game, and re centlv. on a barnstorming tour of Japan, outwitted and threw the best grapplers of that lana.' Santel is about in a class oy jiim self as a catch-as-catch-can mat man and some of his straight wrest ling knowledge should come in handy when he tackles the squat brown man. Practically anything goes in jiu jitsu, the main idea-being to forbe the opposition to quit rather than to pin his back to the floor. In fact, falls do not count in jiu jitsu. One of the wrestlers can recline on his back during the entire match without being counted out if he feels that way. One of the most approved methods of laying an opponent low in jiu jitsu is either to pick him up and slam him to the mat hard enough to knock him out, or else grab an arm or leg and twist it util he yells "enough." ' Santel and. Miyake will wrestle three 20-minute periods with a 10 minute rest between. There is a good chance of the match not going the full limit, as either man can end it by forcing his opponent to quit Two preliminaries will precede the main attraction.
