State Football Season Phases of Sports Situation This is the midway season In athletics the lull before the opening of the Fall season of vigorous sports. Tennis, golf, baseball, rowing-, will soon give war to football, and -with the rainy season, in door athletics will revive. That football will be the popular sport, as usual, this "Winter, was shown by the little group of players who appeared on Multnomah Field during the warm, leth argic days of the past week, punting, running, -with the 'pigskin neatly tucked under their arms; and catching the ball, after its long; spiral flights from" the boots of their comrades. "What are the prospects? is already being asked. The xmtlook is encouraging. The Mult nomah Club will put in the field a -well-selected amateur team, coached by the' veteran, "George McMillan, perhaps the best player the Coast has ever developed. "Whether he will play himself he has sot decided. If he can spare the time, he will. On his decision, almost. 4iangB the fate of the Multnomah team whether victory shall, or shall not perch on its banner. "Will Drop Out. Several of the other old players will not follow the ball In its rambles this year. Ir. "Watson, last year's center, will not be able to take the time to play; MacKinnon, guard, is undecided, but Kasch, the other guard, will try for the fullback position. Martin Pratt, tackle, is reported" as intending "to leave Port land for Seattle or Spokane, and "Jer ry" Rusk, the former Portland University and Stanford player. Is undecided wheth- he can spare the time for the game. Of th ends, Montague will -get out, it i m Portland when thb season opens, but Ned Barrett has definitely announced his intention not to -compete. "" Behind the line, there is the same un certainty. Bert Kerrigan is regarded as & fixture -at quarter. Both Dr. Meyers and George McMillan will play, if they Had time for the training and practice. The two fullbacks, Captain Charles Mc 2onell and Ed. Davey. are out of the game for good. Dr. Millard Holbrook, an experienced fullback, has returned to Portland, and will try for the place again. This uncertainty has encouraged new players to come but. Among them are Dr. -George Nottage, a former Portland University end; Sam Holbrook, end; Dun bar and thp two "Woods (High-School players), backs. Although the prospects, as stated, now seem dubious, it is hoped that, -when the plunk of the pigskin is again heard on the field, many -of the old players will get together and help Mult nomah to earn another string of victories. Games Arranged. - Games will be numerous this season. Already matches are scheduled with the "University, of Oregon for November 3 and Thanksgiving Day. The California colleges -are pursuing a generous policy toward Eugene, and the development of the college as a. Coast Athletic factor is one of the notable happenings of the last- two years. After their return from Cali fornia, the Oregon lads -will give the Multnomah team a. tussle for the cham pionship. Spokane and Seattle "will have teams in the field; the Reliance Club, of Oakland, is -anxious to take a trip North, and Stanford, whether winning or losing, will be invited here, after Thanksgiving, by the . Multnomah management. As the winning -California team will play an Eastern College eleven, the attitude of the Stanford management "will be diffl cult to forecast until after Thanksgiving. Right here it may be -Knell to call at tention to the recent official abolition of' athletic sports at the State University College at Corvallis, as a factor bearing ttpon the general sporting situation, as it cpnoerns college athletes. There can be jxo Tloubt that the action referred to was a step backward in state athletics. It removes Eugene's principal state collegiate rival; has caused students to Seave the agricultural institution, and Teed up. "Now for a aacty jari" Topped. "Oh, inr poor head!" Sliced. "LooSr out thexljhtl" ,;? forces the State University to seek out side athletic competition. All of the evils' of college sports a low standard , of scholarship for athletics, the prevalence of. a professional spirit in athletics, undue Interest of undergraduates in Intercol legiate contests, resulting in neglect of todies-these and others have all been solved in a-manly way In other colleges, and not" by one fell swoop of abolition. Careful faculty supervision of athletics, the maintenance of the same1 standard of scholarship for team members .and .other students,? the shortening; of r the ihletic 'season, the playing ot games on college grounds, m'd rigid rules against 'professionalism, in spirit arid in letter,, are measures that have- been adopted In every , American college wliere amateur athletics thrive, and where evils haye been overcome.

The nine was carelessly handled, nnd some ot the players were guilty of a breach of amateur sport, by taking part In a Sunday game of ball at McMUinvWe as 'members Of a nine adver tised as the Multnomah team. The ma terial was gopd, and that it could not have been welded together closer, been better supported by the club, and the season made a greater succss Is some thing Very hard to explain. In the same way the Multnomah track season was frittered away, and the train ing of valuable men, like Kerrigan and Blumenthal, wasted. Indoor Athletics.- Thc outlook for a successful season of Indoor work is good. The Portland T. M. C. A. is taking the lead in organizing a city Indoor baseball league, to be com posed of teams representing the Oregon National Guard, the Multnomah Club, the Y. M. C. A. and the Stephens' Addition Club, tho contests to be for the city championship. Basket-ball will- also receive a great deal of attention at the T. M. C. A. Each gymnasium class will have a team, and an association team of the best players will be organized. The policy of the as sociation will be to avoid competition with outside cities, -and to foster the -inter-class contests, arranging matches with local teams where the feature of in tense rivalry is absent. Physical .Director Rlngler has also taken the initiative In -corresponding with the presidents of Oregon colleges, suggesting' an intercollegiate Indoor meet for- all branches of Indoor athletics, and offering the good auspices of the T. M. C. A. of Portland in arranging the details of the affair. He has already received many answers, commending the idea, and, in all probability, It will be carried out and an Interesting athletic -innovation there by be-Insured. Pngrilistlc Contests.

Tennis Tournament Is Resuitiak, Close Contests. Local, tennis-players are busily en- gaged in -playing their matches in, the handicap tournament on the Multnomah courts. The games commenced last Monday, and .the finals win be held on Saturday, September' 22. This givttrth& contestants ample time to play ; their matches, -without interfering, "with, other duties, and also allows margin enough, jjo that a- few days of inclement weather, will not Interfere with the schedule and necessitate postponement of the finals. As was predicted, the scheme of classi fication adopted for the men's singles has resulted In unusually close contests. The S"f men entered have been divided into eight different classes. A separate draw' ing is made for each class, ana an tne members of a particular class play against each other, without handicap, tp a winner. "By this , arrangement, no one is compelled to "play .against another greatly his superior and, as a result, all the class matches- are ven and hard fought. t "Winners PlayOmt. "When thOs eight class. winners are de-" termlned, a new drawing is made", and the 'eight winners, with their respective olass handicap.-play to a conclusion. The final winner, and also the different class winners, receive prizes. In all the other events, no classification is attempted, each person or team being separately handicapped. . With so many players entered, this is xl difficult thing to do, demanding good judgment and olose observation of previous work; So far, however, the handicapping appears to have been very just, the close matches verifying the assumption. Among the men the improvement is not so marked as 'one might hope for at the end of a long season. The increased skill and development 'in the science of the game has been uniform in nearly all the classes, however, and- while no par ticular player has suddenly risen to de mand especial attention as a probable, champion, yet the players all along the line1 give evidence7 of better form over thos& of last year. In all departments ot the game. Womes Players, "With the women players,' the relative improvement naturally is most noticeable. This is the first year that tournaments have been open to women, and the prac tice and experience gained by tournament play have' worked' material improvement In; their skill The local "women players are weak in two particulars volleying and back-hand strokes. That tennis is , becoming increasingly popular In Pirtland Is attested by the constant addition of new recruits, and by the unflagging Interest manifested by old enthusiasts. And the number of spectators always present at an interest ing match Indicates that this growing popularity is not confined to the players alone. 'The Multnomah Clubhas commenced work on the foundation 'of a new court, which will be ready for use early next Spring, and will then be well seasoned hy a."Wlnters .rain. Ont "by Striking- Ont.

" EUGENE, Sept. 14. It is a certainty that Clarence" M." Bishop, tho State Uni versity's football, .captain and champion sprinter, will not return to collegethls semester. He has accepted a position with the .Snm .'W'bolen Mills, and it is not likely that he will ever'agaln lead the Oregon plgskln-Wckers to victory, or win athletic tjionors for his college. He is, loth to give up hte college and athletic career, but feels- that he cannot overlook the splendid business opportunity offered him. - For four years-' Bishop has been Oregon's, crack half-back, and has also been prom inent In tracputhletle work first in the distance runs," and later In' the sprints.. Last year, in the California-Oregon game,; he was the star' player of the day, and his ground-gaming ability has always been demonstrated In football contests throughout 'the"state. He was president of the class -'of 102; and vice-president of -the Btate Athletic Association last yean IncoUege hehas made, an envl-, ablo record as a student and a clean, straightforward athlete, and he is im mensely popular with the student body and faculty. ' ' 'Bishop's loss will-he severely felt, espe cially by this year's football eleven. As soon'as.coUega, opens a new captain will be "chosen byc the members iof last-year's team, six of .whom will return to college. " Important Acquisition. Ray Goodrich, captain and left half back of the Oregon Agricultural College eleven, will enter'the University of Ore gon this year.. Goodrich is a. big, strong man, and a splendid- all-around player. He will, no doubt, make the team at. Eugene stronger, . and under; the coach ing -of Kaarsberg, -ought to be a crack ajack. He is a brother of Iv L. Goodrich, Eugene's football manager. - It is ru mored that a number of other Agricultur al College men are going to EUgene, ahd to other colleges,' for the reason, that in tercollegiate athletics have been abolished at Corvallis. , . - s ' The -University of Oregon Athletic Club can boast of but six years of history, yet in that short lapse of time It has grown from an almost Insignificant local factor toa position of ppwer and influence Jn Northwest sporting circles.

That was thenar wnen "Wilson, Smith, Bishop and JfakVy were, the potent factors of suc cesI .' , . Last year Simpson coached for the sec ond" tlmeV and Smith was again captain. That season's -work is still fresh in the memory of the sportslovlng public. The game at Berkeley surprised the whole -coast. The tie with --Multnomah placed Oregon on' an equal footing with the best team In 'the Northwest. This year'Kaarsberg, of -Berkeley, will ooach,-and he will "have plenty of mate rial "with which to work. About half of tho old team will return, and there will be ffeshnten candidates galore. The team will go Co" California; will play Multnomah twice, arid, meet. other teams throughout the Northwest.. ; 'Brilliant TraoJc Victories. -In track athletics the -wnrk has been equally-brilliant. Eugene has won the state1" field meet'-Uve times out of six, and 'her men have some splendid records to their credit. Shattuck, Keerie and Oyerholt figured prominently in former meets. 4 Then came the great 'Kuyken dall, .who was a sure winner In any race. Scott, the bicyclist, won his event for three consecutive years, and lowered the two-mile record to 4 minutes 62 1-5 sec onds. -Smith has also been a winner at the weights.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES. v J - ' Better Piny Expected as a Result or "' V the Ch'aagres Made. Cleaper and 'more- sportsmanlike ' play 1. expected io result from the? latest changes in the' rules of college football. The final drafting of the rules has passed through the liands of "Walter jbamp,vchalr man of ihe rules committee, and the rule? are'now'in the hands' of the' printer. Four radical changes have1 been made, etfch of Ttrliich, it Iff thought, "will bring Improve ment, without affecting the style of play lnhe'leasj. - .. There is one change about which little or nothing "was known except to the mem bers of the rules- committee It has to do' NOT MUCH VTheeWrGracloust I wonder If Til ever With "unsportsmanlike conduct." Any thing that the umpire may construe to 'be unsportsmanlike conduct may be penal ized by.a loss of 10 yards'by the offending side. Unsportsmanlike conduct; it is said may be done "by not only a player or sub stitute, but by a 'sympathizer. Just how or why, "says the "New York Times, an outsider could 'be guilty of unsports manlike conduct of such a nature that the team should suffer' thereby ls by no means clear, and a practical illustration of this point will be awaited with Interest by football followers. As to the players, the throwing of his headgear by a player at" an opponent Is cited as coming under 'the head of unsportsman like coridUot. Such instances are scrrare that the rule seems superfluous. Slugging is unsportsmanlike donduct, but that is already provided for. After the Yale-Harvard game last year there was much agitation of the rule per mitting one side to retain tho ball If there was a 20-yard loss after four Ineffectual attempts to advance It five yards. The committee has dealt with this question. It has dealt with It in a" manner as slm pie as it Is judicious. The rule hereafter can only be taken, advantage of once In a game. Regarding the question ot substitutes and "heelers" on the side lines, that nuisance 1b to be obviated in a measure hefeafter. Only five representa tives of edch team shall have the privi lege of moving up and down the side lines. All others shall remain seated. It would have been still better, according to the general opinion If " only five repre tived altogether were allowed on the lines. Coaching from the side lines means a 10-yard penalty. The chances are there will be some penalties for Infraction of this rule, inasmuch as the restrictions are not(sufilcIently severe. The committee has provided 'that the head coach, medi cal adviser, trainer and two others be permltteTd jo "wander- up and down the side linear Thfe committee' decided that the loss of the ball was 'too severe-a penalty for off side play, and henceforth, the. offending team will lose 10 yards Instead of the'ball If It happens to have the ball. No change Is made In the system of scor ing. A goal from the field continues to count as much as a touchdown. FOOTBALL AT PRINCETON. Trainer Robinson Advises the Candi dates on Preliminary "Worlc The first sign of the-opening" ot Prince ton's football campaign season has been noticed here, says tho New York Times, upon the appearance In town of James Robinson, ' "Nassau's" football trainer. "When interviewed ,on the prdspecta of the team, he was rather reticent, but spoke as follows: "I am at a loss at present -to express - - YE ANCIENT AND HONORABLE GAME. A stymie (1). "Sold again.

I shall be here also on the 13th. I am now in communication with last season's players advising them about get ting into condition for the preliminary work. I shall have entire control of training tho men, and shall order and Inspect all their food, but will have nothing to do with coaching them." It has been learned that the new ad justable grandstands will surely be erect ed this" Fait on University Field, but work, Aon them will not be commenced until September 19, when the university opens." Tfie question of head coach 13 still unsolved, but the choice will bo made from the following men: "Biffy" Lea, Alex Moffatt, D. Balllott, Harry Brown, Arthur Poe, "Bill" Edwards, "Boh" Church and "Billy" Bannard. A glance at the football material now at hand shows the line will be composed of new men. with the excoptlori of Cap tain Pell and Mills. The positions back of the line will be filled with veterans from" last year's team. GYMNASIUM "WORK BEGINS Classes of the Portland Y. M. C.

Leflhanded baseball pitchers haV won a majority of their games In the Ameri can1 League. In the National League the reverse' obtains. All the "no-hlt" games of the season in the two organizations have been pitched by left-handers Hahn in the National and Amole and Dowllng In the American. Joseph Marsh, one of the best known baseball pitchers in "Wastern Massachusetts was .killed by a pitched ball at Dalton, Mass., September 3. "Walsh, of the Pitts field team, delivered a ball for Marsh to strike, and It hit Marsh Just under the right ear. He never regained conscious ness. Fred Beck, the Yale shot-putter, has been mentioned for tackle on the Yale team. Beck entered the freshman class at Yale several years ago, but dropped behind in his studies and eventually left the college. Last year, however, he en tered the Yale medical school and is eli gible to play football this year. It Is probable that C. B. Cook, who is known at Yale as Dan Cook, will be se elcted for end rush on the Yale football team. This year he played baseball on the '.varsity team. He was at Yale last year, but, being on probation, was unable to play on any of the teams until nearly tho end of -the last baseball season. Had It not been for this fact, he would havo been put on the 'varsity football team last season, probably at end rush. A result "of the recent international sports in France has been a suggestion that a permanent international society of athletes be formed. It Is argued that cycling is the only sport that has an or ganization of this character, and that such a society, as proposed, would do much In spreading Interest m athletic games. The name offered for the pro jected society is The Union of Interna tional Athletics,. It is, proposed to keep records of all events, so that there can be no question of the holding of wcnrld's records. The society would have official meetings in various countries, and would promote yoarly International contests. ' The hunker. "No, Z will not go inV Gmr3 v' Mr. Skeeter, 31- 73. ilr. Skeeter. ST.

HARDYS TAKE HIGH RANK Californlans "Won Place Among Ten- sis Experts of the East, bat Missed Championship. The tour of the Eastern tennis resorts mads this Summer by the Hardy broth ers, of Oakland, Cal., affords an interest ing basis of comparison as to the rela tive merits and style of play of tho Eastern and "Western players. Last year Sumner Hardy, by defeating Beals, "Wright and Holcomb "Ward, at Del Monte, and ty winning two sets from Davis and one from Champion "Whitman, was ranked among the first five players of America And the Hardy brothers, by defeating vThitman and "Wright in the doubles, af ter the latter had won over Davis and "Ward, were ranked among the very first d6ublo teara3 In the country- The recent trip of the Hardy brothers has demonstrated the fact that the East ern players, in singles, at least, are much superior to the Pacific Coast players. Sumner Hardy, who is stronger In singles thanSamuel, 'was beaten by Collins, Da vis, Paret, Foster, Black, the Englishman, and Hackett. He defeated "Ward twice, and Hackett and Paret, once each. Even on this showing, however. Hardy will probably come within the first 10 players of the United States. In the Doubles. In the doubles the Hardys rank even higher. They were defeated at Chicago by Collins and Paret, in a five-set match, but Sumner Hardy had just finished a five-set match, and the extreme heat, to which they were not accustomed, ac counted, in large measure, for Jheir de feat They were also beaten by "Ward and Davis. In a four-set match, and by Clothier and Allen. Among other teams over whom the Hardys won were: Paret and Davidson, Fischer and Small, Hack ett and "Ward, the Lamed Brothers. Campbell and Huntington, and Collins and "Waidner. At JJIagara-on-the-Laka they won the International championships, by beating Collins and "Waidner, after the latter had 'defeated Alexander and Little, who won the "Western championship, at Chicago. Th'Is would place the Hardy brothers right alongside Alexander and Little, Hackett and Allen. "Ward and Davis, and give them at least fourth place In the doubles. The Hardy brothers are inferior . to fWard and Davis, the national and inter, national champions, in serving In lob bing and In smashing. They are superior to them in net volleying, and probably equal to them in team work. A Chicago expert ha3 this to say of their work at Chicago:. "A good many of us think the Hardy brothers were the best double team in the tournament,. I watched all the play closely, and other unprejudiced players are of tho same opinion. They were beat en by Collins and Paret, under peculiar circumstances In the first place, the first set wag played immediately after the long five-set match between Collins and Sumner Hardy, from whjch Collins emerged In the better condition. Strong "Wind. ' "The remaining four seta were played In a very strong wind, which blew In ter rific gu3ts, and this apparently was much more detrimental to the Hardy brothers than to Collins and Paret. "In sharp, hard and, accurate volley ing to the back line, the Hardy broth ers showed superiority to any players I have ever seen, and even excelled th& Neels. The Neel brothers, at their best, were superior, I think, in lobbing alone, and perhaps In smashing. The Hardy brothers' driving and volleying left lit tle to be desired. 'The most ronsplcuous thing about the tournament play was tho absence of long rallies. In both singles and doubles the ball was almost always killed at the first or second stroke. "The Hardy-Collins match In the flnal3 of the singles was remarkable. It seemed to the onlooker that the ball was almost invariably killed on the first return, and the deadly" accuracy of Collins' driving and 'Hardy's volleying I have never seen equaled, although L have seen the Eng lish players and all the Americana, ex cept "Whitman and the "Whltneys." Not Pressed Here. The playing of the Hardy3 here was a disappointment. In that they were gen erally expected to smother the local play ers, Qoss andJLewhu They were plainly ont of -form, .due to their long trip and staleness, and they were not pressed suf ficiently hard to force out their best game. The Pacific Coast championship In dou bles is now being played on the Del Monte courts'. By reason of -the practice and experience gained on their Eastern tour, the Hardy3 are the- favorites, though they will doubtless find some dif ference In the bituminous courts, after having played all Summer on turf. The Hardys have won the Pacific Coast championships 'in doubles six 'times In 18$2, 1833, 1S95, 1837, 1898. 189$. The veterans. "itaVTo'To a. enld hei for gtrmttV From. Golf niufftratait
