THE 3I0RNIXG OBEGONIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 15. HARPER OR DAVIS IMETI1R Champion Is Challenged to Fight Winner of Go. BATTLE WOULD BE HERE BEAR-COUGAR GAME IS ONLY COAST CONFERENCE CONTEST All Other Elevens Today Are Resting for Coming Big Games or Playing Outside the Select Circle. 0' Matchmaker Hansen Sends Tele gram to New King Asking Consideration of Bout. It's just possible that the winner of the Travie Davis-Bobby Harper bout at the armory Thursday night will, get a chance to fight Mickey Walker. the new welterweight champion of the world, in a Port land ring. After reading reports yesterday of the Jack Britton-Walker fight, in which Walker lifted the, welter weight crown from Britton on a 15 round decision !n New York, Match maker Hansen of the Portland com mission shot a telegram to Walker offering a scrap against the winner of the Davis-Harper argument here. Davis had one chance at the wel terweight title when it was held by Jack Britton. When the champion made his trip to the northwest two years ago Davis was one of the coast boys who fought him. The bout was held in Seattle and was a six-round draw, with newspaper re ports giving Davis the better of it. Shade Drops Champion. On the same trip Britton fought Dave Shade for the Milwaukie com mission and Shade early in the fight dropped him for the count of nine. Britton, after the Davis fight, made the remark that there were four welterweights in. the country he figured as real topnotchers of championship caliber, and that some day one of the quartet would win his title. Britton was right. .One of the four, Mickey Walker, 'now hoids the title. The other three were Travie Davis, Dave .Shade and Ted Lewis. Davis r raised Highly. Discussing the merits of the four boys, Britton said Davis was one of the best prospects he had seen, and that the Seattle youth was wasting his time on the coast. He should go east, declared Britton, where he could get a whack at the big purses and work himself up in the welter division. Matchmaker Hansen's offer to Walker is quite attractive and un less the new champion already is booked for a string of bouts in the east, he cannot pass it over with out some consideration. Hansen's telegram yesterday to Champion Walker follows: "Kindly advise immediately if you vould consider meeting winner of Davis-Harper bout in Portland, ten rounds. Fifty per cent gross re ceipts Figure would draw between $15,000 and $20,000. "HARRY HANSEN. "Matchmaker Portland Boxing Commission. BY L. H. GREGORY. NLY one Pacific coast confer ence football game is on to day's schedule. That one is be tween California and Washington State at Berkeley. The other conference elevens are resting for coming big games or playing outside the conference. Washington, Oregon and Idaho are resting. The Oregon Aggies play Multnomah here today and southern California takes on an easy one in Occidental at Pasadena., Stanford is no longer In the conference, so what it does can have no bearing on the championship race. For anybody who cares to know, Stanford is booked against Nevada. The dope at Berkeley, of course, favors California against Washing ton State. The Pullman crew ought to make it a battle, however. Cali fornia didn't show with exceptional "brilliance against Southern Califor nia, whom the Bears could lick only 1- to 0 last week, and then not until the last half. On the other hand Washington State lost to Washington, 16 to 13, because Baggy's men were & little too slick with their forward passes. On straight football Washington State had it all over Washington. Statistics of the ' game show the Cougars gained 296 yards from scrimmage to only 159 for Wash ington. But Zeil of Washington outkicked the Pullman booter, and in the pinch he threw a couple of forward passes, one right after the other, each of which resulted in a touchdown. The passes upset the game, after the Cougars had it in their pockets with a two-touchdown lead. California has played only one conference game so far, that against k?oom to discuss, let us say, the late BASEBALL l'OOJLS ATTACKED Fans Declared Kolibed of Thou sands of Dollars Yearly. CHICAGO, Nov. 3. That unscru pulous operators of baseball pools are robbing baseball fans of hun dreds of thousands of dollars each season was asserted by Ban John son, president of the American league, today. He said that he ex pected to bring this form of gam bling to the attention of the club owners' annual meeting in Decem ber with a recommendation that im mediate action be taken. While admitting that he did not know what could be done, President Johnson said his agents made an investigation of large baseball pools And had decided that it is incum bent on chib owners to break up this practice. President Johnson said that oper ators of large professional pools were the principal offenders and added that "the perils of gambling have not been removed from base ball and it is incumbent upon the club owners to force action if we are to escape another scandal." Southern California, while Wash ington State has played two against Idaho and Washington. Here are the scores made to date by both elevens: University of California.

Today's game will show. Anyhow Andy Smith has a scoring machine, no doubt about that. To date Cali fornia is tied with Cornell for high scoring honors for the season. t Herbert Crombie Howe is profes sor of English literature at the University of Oregon. He special izes, or used to, in Ruskin and Carlyle, though he can likewise go to the mat on anything ever writ ten in the English language. They say of him that you can't be in one of his classes without learning to think. He not only is a professor and a good one, but 'he looks the part, with whiskers, spectacles, high bulg ing forehead and all professorial trimmings. Jf he cared to air his erudition ne coma knock tne casual discussionist for a row of sectional bookcases in the opening round. Here, you'd say, meeting him for the first time, is one of the fine old faculty type who would, abolish foot ball and sporting pages, outlaw, ath letic contests and as mild recreation flunk out a couple of halfbacks every week. Which is where you would be all wrong. For this learned savant takes his recreation, of all unex pected places, on the sidelines at football practice and in the grand stand or on the Oregon bench at football games. Football is his hobby and his pleasure. He's as dyed-in-the-cloth a football fan, is Professor Howe, as ever breathed. He can tell you offhand the score of the Oregon-O. A. C. game of 1909 and what Dud Clarke did on that memorable day or the time when "Cack" Moullen, the famous place kicker with the chopped-off foot, booted Oregon to a field goal victory when there seemed no hope. Name a man who played football at Oregon and Pro fessor Howe can tell you his record, his later success as a graduate, all about him. When the Oregon team goes trav eling it is Professor Howe who ac companies it as faculty representa tive. He also is Oregon s repre sentative in the Pacific coast and northwest conferences. All of which doesn't keep him from giving a football player, or any other student, a tough few minutes if said student is asked in the class- CO WIS 181, INDIANS 0 BIGGEST PREP SCORE IN YEARS ROLLED TCP. .lr. Ruskin's differentiation between mere fancy and true imagination. Nor does it keep him from devising most devilish inquisitions on ex amination day, to answer which in even moderate thoroughness would exhaust the possibilities of the eight-hour day. In short, a grand old scout is Pro fessor Howe, albeit a professor and a faculty man a human being as well as a professor, who keeps him self young and in tune with the times by being interested in foot ball and athletic sports generally, as well as the tomes of Dryasdust. Professor Howe is to make a little speech at an Oregon alumni lunch eon at the Multnomah hotel at noon today. The luncheon will be in the nature of a homecoming rally for the Oregon-Washington Sate game at Eugene next Saturday. The topic assigned Professor Howe is the seemingly impossible one of "Medie val and Modern History In Relation to Oregon's Chances Against Wash ington State in Football," or some such wording. Having been introduced herein to Professor Howe, you will guess rightly that the subject will be well handled. And our bet is (hat if he wishes to, he can predict for you the exact score.

Ex-Catcher of Red Sox, Broken in Health and Almost Penni less, to Be Provided For. BY IRVING VAUGHAN. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Lou Criger, whom oldtimers will remember, is ready to tell the world that senti ment is not an obsolete word in the big leagues. Broken in health and almost penniless, his diamond deeds of long ago eclipsed by the present day stars, the once great catcher of the Boston Red Sox is to get a chance to come back. The Amer ican league will foot the bills. During the recent city series here word came to Bill Gleason, White Sox manager, of Criger's predica ment. Gleason told the story to Umpire Dineen and the latter car ried it to Ban Johnson, American league chief. Johnson immediately put the matter before his clubown ers, and back came word from five of the eight to attend to the needs of the oldtimer. Johnson's first step was to com municate with Criger at Jones. Mich. The league chief learned that Cy Young's and Bill Dineen's old bat tery mate had already lost a leg be cause of tuberculosis and was facing another operation. For the latter he Fish Pond Is Planned.

At That, Clipper Smith's Eleven Didn't Travel at Full Speed', 14 Touchdowns Tallied.' " The biggest prep school football score rolled up here in many sea sons was registered on the Columbia university campus yesterday, when Clipper Smith's Columbia eleven massacred the Chemawa Indian school team. 101 to 0, And even at that Columbia waj not traveling at full speed. After the score passed the 50 mark, the ' Columbians contented themselves by taking things easy, playing listless ly and trying not to hurt their little opponents. Several of the Indians were carried off the field, one being severely injured after crashing into huge Wes Schulmerich, Columbia left half. Chemawa was outweighed plenty and when the Indians did get the ball, they couldn't make a yard. Columbia scored 14 touchdowns and Schulmerich kicked goal 11 times. Schulmerich, tipping the beams at 190 pounds or better, yet moving like a bantam, was the star. both on the offensive and defensive. He scored four of the 14 touch downs, Cudahy scored two, Collins two, Johnson two, Geenty two, Ran savage one and Hicks one. Touch downs were made in every imagin able way. Hicks, husky right guard, got his by picking up a dropped punt after three or four players on both sides had tried to fall on ' it. Hioks dug around until he located it and ran 30' yards for a touchdown without opposition. The Indians were not very strong on tackling, being contented with crashing in and trying to upset the on-rushing Columbia backs. Colum bia scored 61 points the first half. The fireworks started with Cudahy racing 55 yards for a score. From then on it was hard work keeping track .of the score.

Andy Smith is up against a peculiar situation tomorrow. He must win from Washington State, and would like to do so without uncovering all of California's plays and exhausting his men. He has said, and still affirms, that Cali fornia's hardest game will be at Seattle, a week from Saturday against Washington, and he knows that keen-eyed Washington scouts will be watching California tomor row. Washington rests that day. But the Bears cannot afford to take a chance with Washington State. That team is too strong for that. It may be that the Bears will have to go at top speed for the whole game, and in that case it will help Washington next Saturday, for MOVIE OF A MAN TRYING TO HINT HIMSELF IN. The Best Play to Use, (Copyright. 1922, Sol Metzger.) With the ball in your possession on opponent's 30-yard line, fourth down. 6 yards to sain, with but a few minutes remaining to play and your team lead ing ly a touchdown, you should never try for a drop-kick to run up a larger score. Always punt and punt high, so your punt wilt be covered. An attempt at a drop kick has proved costly to mors th.'.n one team at this stage of the game. The linemen may let up, thinking; the game on Ice. whereupon the kick is bkxked and then anything may happen. A'r'her point about the drop kick is t.ia; it is easier to block than a punt he;aue tiie ball follows a lower trajec tory in its flight, thus more frequently encf.unterin.sr the arms of the oncoming o;ioine; linemen trying to break through and blcck it. Teams have lost too many sui's victorit-s by attempting a drop kick herd m orUur to roil up a score. rJCT A DROP w Tne HOOSe AMD ME DVimG For A .SHOT J UP rAAC AMD GETlMj To INVITE e OvyER.

Andyj Kerr wants to beat Nevada tomor- j row without showing too much, for he has his eye on the University of Southern California game the fol-. lowing Saturday. Stanford must win tomorrow, of course, to keep in the running, so the Cards cannot afford to get care less with Nevada. That sprightly team is liable to cause trouble for anyone. .
