At the first meeting of the club one of the sub jects discussed will be closing of the Willamette River to net fishing. The subject of angrlng with salmon eggs will also be taken up. ' Tha organization also will aim to re write the laws which refer to "salmon trout." W. Ll. Flnley. State Game Warden, and one of the members of the club declares that there is no such fleh as "salmon-trouX." It Is either a young steelhead salmon or a sea run cut-throat trout, he says. The trout season will open April 1 and it Is the endeavor of the AnKlers' Club to bare all the men. who obtain fishing licenses become members of the club. Meetings will be held at which Interpretations of the existing game laws will be discussed that all may have a clearer knowledge of the laws when the time to fish approaches. Next Summer probably will show a great deal more Interest in fishing be cause of the vast amount of new fishing territory being opened up by the new railroads. One of these Is the country along the new Pacific Railway & Navigation Company's line to Tilla mook. It Is expected, the Clackamas1 will remain as one of the most popular places for Portland fisherman and tha Molalla River above Oregon City also bids fslr to retain Its popularity.

STUDENTS TO PLAY Summer Baseball Allowed by "Big Eight" Colleges. NO PAY MAY BE TAKEN Ruling of Conference Is Compro mise Atuletcs Not Permitted to Compete for Club In Vacation Periods or Any Other Time. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Students attend ing the "big eight" collage will be ai lon-eri to nlav baseball with teama not under the National agreement, provided thev. do not receive money, directly or Indirectly, for playing, according to modliied ruling adopted by the rntaa to the college conference. dele- The rutins- was advocated by Profes sor Pal ire. of Minnesota. Professor Smith, of Iowa, and Secretary Ehler, of Wisconsin. It is Interprciea 10 menu that students may Join In games with clubs which include paid players pro- viHinir thev themselves are not paid Some of the college athletes Bee in the ruling more than a half compro mise on the "Summer baseball ques tlon. which haa attracted attention. The conference reaffirmed tne ruia which prohibits students taking part in athletics of any kind as representatives or athletic clubs, either in vacation or dnrlns the college term. The rule which heretofore compelled athletes to obtain, permits before they would be allowed to compete in ama teur events waa abolished. It will be unnecessary to get permits In the fu ture, but the competing athletes must submit records showing they received no nav or gifts for their services. A rule was adopted prohibiting ath letes from receiving gifts or money for the use of their athletic skill or knowl edge of athletics. The faculty of every conference unl- . vorsltv also waa given power to ao solve athletes for minor Infractions of conference rules. Students may procure, before the close of the 11J college year, absolu tion for rast minor violations of the ! strict amateur rules, upon application !to their faculties. It was decided Mlehlgaa Stays Outside. The conferees also decided: "Flagrant" infractions of the rules I such as a participation In professional ! baseball games or engaging In athletics ' under assumed names, will not be con doned. No other athletic contests thanthe baseball specified rhay be engaged in wherein a prize of any sort Is offered, regardless of its disposition. The University of Michigan will re main a stranger to the "Big Eight." Intersectlonal athletics will be per ' mined again. Students may represent other organ izations than their universities In pure ly amateur events without procuring permission. They may not, however, represent an athletic club. These changes in tne amieiio coae must be approved by the universitlea represented: a protest within 0 daya may reopen the question. The meeting closed tonight. O. A. C.

BOWLING NOTES THE last lap of the race In the Big Four Bowling League is on and all the teams will endeavor to break the lead which the White Crows now have. The Derbies, the second in the race, are over 100 points behind the leaders and the closing of the combine Is set for March 19, which would leave about six more games for each one. About 16 have been played, so that the- lead which the foremost team has is a rather substantial margin. Tuesday night the White Crows and the Jarrets meet, while the Excelsiors will try to down the Derbies. as H. S. Aaron, one of the high men. in the recent Foresters League is out on the alleys again, after a long siege of illness. For six weeks past he has been down with pneumonia and Is now trying to make up lost time and get into shape as a possible on one of the teams going to Los Angeles. The -Foresters probably will have rio more leagues this Winter, as the bowl ing season is now getting short. There was some talk of putting out another. but a number of the man connected with the Foresters think that nothing more along this line will be done till next Winter. Two teams still seem to be about the most that Portland will send to the Western Bowling Congress. One Is be ing led by Ed Schachtmeyer, while C. J. Kruse Is the captain of the other. Schactmeyer's team is to give a dance at the Armory on February 8, from which it is hoped that enough "ma zuma" is derived to get the team to the scene of action. a Both teams are practicing regular and although more phenomenal records were made last week, the rolling Is con sistent and both fives have good prospects.

Motorboat Tests at San Fran . Cisco in 1 91 5 May Be Seen. WATER MEN ENTHUSIASTIC George S. Shepherd Would Pit Wolff Against Costliest Craft Going. Foreign and Domestic Entries Are Expected to Compete. If the plans of George S. Shephdrd do not miscarry, there will be an inter national regatta at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition la 1915. He has written to the officers of the affair in hope of getting their consent to holding the world's championship motor-boat races there. The plan has met with the hearty approval of many of the water men here and if the event can be staked, there will be a number of entries from this part of the country. Since the success of his fast boat here on New Year's Day, when the Wolf broke the record previously bold by the Dixie, he has been most enthusi astic about trying to get a boat event of the magnitude mentioned, at Bonie place where the Pacific Coast boats could compete against tha winners of world's championship races. If the event comes off, boats of all kinds will probably be entered. It Is thought that some of the fastest boats of Europe would compete, while cruis ers and other types of boats here on the coast would have races in that class. Other races for sail and row-boats would undoubtedly be introduced. Japan would probably send rowing crews, as would also the East and Can ada. The Wolf Is strictly an Oregon boat, everything about It having been made here. It - cost about $5000, while the Dixie represents an outlay of $46,000. Kegular Routine Discipline Is Prac ticed Three Times Weekly and Big Test Indoor Meet Is Planned In University Gymnasium. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Jan. 21. With the prospect of having practically all of his 1910 record-smashers in training again this Spring, Wil liam L. Hayward, the wizard track and field trainer at the University of Ore gon, has not faced a more roseate early season track prospectus since the balmy days of his championship braoe Kel ly, McKinney, Hug, Zacharlus, Moores and Moullen. Already over 30 aspirants have signed up for covered track work and regular rotulne disclipline is practiced three times a wpek Monday Wednesday and Friday by the cross country steppers who are training for the subsequent Marathons. As a matter of pre-sea-son quality test, a big indoor meet will be held in the university gymnasium April 6 to set up a temporary classifi cation of the men and attract the mod est and unknown talent now latent latent within the ranks of the year lings. Yesterday word was received from Martin W. Hawkins, the 1911 team cap tain, who has been attending the Ore gon Law School in Portland during tha semester just closing, that he probably will return to the university for tha coming term. This means that Oregon is to have a likely string of sure point pullers In the two hurdle events, for the fair-haired Portland man swept the collegiate Northwest last year in both the high and low cross bar events, an nexing the record in the 120-yard spraddle. Others Will Be In Places. Nor will second and third place con tenders be lacking, Latourette, the re liable "four point" hurdler, Oleson, a veteran squad member of several sea sons and Kimball, a likely young beam skipper-- from Pendleton, will follow close in the wake of the speedy "Hawk." Also there is strong prospect that the other members of the 1911 aggregation now missing Fisher, the vaulter, and McConnell, the premier distance man will answer the annual call of the meadow larks. But even though one or both of these stalwarts do not re turn there is reason to believe that worthies of similar prowess will be available to fill their spikes. Ben Williams, the present holder of the Northwest pole vault record, 12 feet 2 inches, who graduated after lead ing his 1910 team to victory, is again taking work at the university and will be eligible in the coming competitions. Now that his former handicap, a. brok en knee cartilage, has been erased by the recent surgical operation, he should be able to climb higher than ever, and his performances this Fall bear like testimony. McConnell Successor Sought. To satisfy the possible vacancy of McConnell in the half mile, Hayward may use one of his longer distance vet erans HuggltiH, McClure, McGuire or Miller all of whom are good for hon ors in the endurance runs, or he may develop a "dark horse wonder'- from among the freshmen string of hopefuls, as has been his habit Thus far the most promising fresh man is little Tom Boylen, who, as cap tain of the winning freshmen eight. ran the fastest nair mne in me mui- mile inter-class relay race this ail. in which all the old stars competed. While "prep" pantaloons at Pendleton he did the half in 2:02 and the mile in 4:45, winning his events handily in the 1910 and 1911 tri-state inter-scholastics held annually at Walla Walla under the patronage of Whitman College. Other promising men who will enter the run tryouts are: Herman Oberteuffer, of Portland, Blaokabee, of Ontario, James Pack, of Bolne, Idaho, Alfred Skel, of Mt. Angel and Aaron Gould, of Wash ington High School, Portland. Just who will do the dash events for the Lemon Yellow crew is not yet known, but it is thought that James Johns, the former quarter horse and re lay man, will be the mainstay in this specialty unless the torn ankle of Ercel Kay, the speedy Salem lad, mends in time to hold up under the strain of in cessant training. Morton, of Astoria, Hawley, of Eugene, and Hill, of Athena, are Incoming candidates who have en viable high school records. If Dave McDaniels, the old Portland Academy pacer who has done yoeman service here for three seasons, turns out again this Spring he should t able to manage the 440-dash backed by re inforcement of Johns and Kay. Weight Places May Hold. Oregon will again maintain the acknowledged supremacy that she has held in the weight events for many seasons. Captain Robert KeHogg, the high point winner of last season's con ference is usually "good" for two leads -fn the strong arm maneuvers. So with Neill, the javelin thrower. Bailey the hammer Sandow and Grout shot put ap prentice, to right for the second mark awards, the state university represent atives should bring home the "royal bacon and mustard." Heidenreich. of I.a Grande, and Pcf Iey, of Boise. Idaho, have training school reputations to support in the metal events. Hayward is apt to be shy of good Jumpers this year, as has been his usual predicament since the college res idence of the leaping Dan Kelly and Eberle Kuykendall. Wallace Benson. of Salem, and "Jumper' Johnson, or Eugene, will again contest for the aerial supremacy, while the broad jump rights may fall to Johnnie Par sons, the Portland boy, who did 21 feet 2 inches of long flying during his in itial track experience under Coach Veatch at the Washington High School last year. v If the "dope pans out full karat" Hayward no doubt will turn out a well balanced team that will be "chuck a block" with full-fledged statistic build ers, for the veteran Oregon commander has a record 'of successes rivaled by few trainers in the history of track athletics. In America. He will have first place men in at least the hurdles, the vault, the distances and the weight events, with a large force of lesser lijhts to bridge several of the other gaps. The Spring schedule has not yet been compiled definitely, but it promises to be satisfactory, except for the present want of a home campus engagement.
