T- M. C. A. runners will ha-e eight
last year's men on the team. In 191!
the Y. M. C. A. defeated the Indians
for the third consecutive time. The
course of 52.6 miles, between Salem and
Portland, was covered by the Portland
team in the record time of & hours and
14 minutes, 14 minuses and 23 seconds
better than the Indians made. Ten
men take part in the relay, each run
ning five and a fraction miles.
Barndollar. Booth. McDonald, Pay
ton, Gunther. Vanderlip. Quinn. Ban
son and Mass, all last year's men. have
been out for Indoor practice twice a
week, and will get out for road prac
tice as soon as the weather permits.
Trickel, who was to run for the Y. M.
C. A. last year, became' ill a day be
fore the race and was compelled to re
tire. Coach Lord, who trained the
boys last year, is again with the team,
and to his work In handling the boys
is largely due the success of the Port
land team. Jensvold and Kurtx,- who
ran for the Y. M. C. A. last year, are
now living on Puget Sound.

Picking an all-star University ot
Oregon football eleven for all time is
a task Infinitely more difficult than
choosing a team of Northwest cham
pions from year to year, with the re
sult not likely to meet with the ap
proval of half a dozen alumnus of the
Kugene Institution. But men who have
followed the gridiron history of the
I'niversity of Oregon from the begin
ning have decided upon the above
teams, first and second, as most likely
to meet with general approval.
A remarkable feature of the all-star
selection is that "Rap" Latourette.
uuarterback, is the only Oregon player
of the past three years to secure rec
ognition on the mythical eleven. The
exponents of modern football, dating
from 1906, when the open style of play
was adopted, have only five represen
tatives on the team, against five play
ers of the "swash-buckling '90s."
Of the 22 men chosen on the two
teams, only one. Bailey, is of the 1912
.vame. Bailey is tackle on the second
team, with Taylor, '10, his most modern
teammate. Six of the second - team
men participated in the revolutionized
game of 1906.
Four members : of the big all-star
team. Hug. Plnkham, Moores and,
I'larke, were members of the Oregon
team of. 1906, but both, Clarke and
Plnkham were playing their first col
lege baseball and were not in their
prime. Edmunson and Shattuck date
back to '94.
Hug C04) at center, stands out as
the best center in the history of the
Northwest, with the possible exception
of Dow Walker (Oregon Agricultural
College), who is the present superin
tendent of Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club. Hug was a sure passer,
excellent on defense, had plenty of
nerve and used his head. Thayer t'01)
was a close second.
Shattuck and Edmunson were a great
pair of guards, none better anywhere.
Both were 190-pounders, big, strong
and fast, and were great on defensive
work. Moullen was an able guard and
a wonderful place kicker with a phe
nomenal record for booting the ball.
He made four in one game against Ida
ho in 1908. Wilson, another old-timer.
was a terror at guard. So was Pink
ham before he was moved to tackle.
Pinkham is by long odds the best
tackle ever seen on a Northwest team.
He was equally strong on offense and
defense, used great headwork and al
ways outplayed his opponents. Jak
way was another old war horse. He
was full of fight and an excellent
ground-gainer. Earl was a very con
sistent player, but not showy. Bailey's
record Is familiar to all. Arnspiger
( 03. '04, '05, '06) was a high-grade de
fensive man and an all-Northwest
choice for three seasons.
Moores, on account of his speed and
"foxiness" was always dangerous at
end. He was strong on the offense,
but only fair on defense. Coleman was
good all around, probably the best de
fensive end that the Northwest has
seen. He was a big fellow, very
speedy and carried the ball well.
Chandrel was much like Coleman, but
lighter. Zfegler was rated as a great
player in the old days.
Earl C. ("Sap") Latourette, J. R. La
tourette. Kuykendall, Edwards, and
Scott were all fine quarterbacks, but
"Sap" Latourette is given preference
on account of his open field work. He
was exceptionally strong on receiving
and running in punts. Jack Latour
ette was good, but not' so fast as his
younger brother. Kuykendall was
very clever, much like "Sap," but a
little light.
"Dick" Smith was the "goods" at
halfback; beat anything ever seen in
the Northwest. He made the Columbia
L'niversity team in 1901, '02 and '03,
and was captain the last year. Ho was
selected by Camp as all-American full
back. "Dud" Clarke was another good
one. He was a wonderful punter as
well as ground-gainer, and was men
tioned hy Camp for the All-American
team of 1908. Frank Templeton was
a great defensive back and is claimed
by his admirers to have been the best
defensive back to ever don a football
suit. His playing in the Oregon-California
game of 1905 was the best on
the Coast that year. He was a good
man on interference and defense, but
poor with the ball. His twin brother.
Joe C03. '04. '05), was just the reverse,
fine with the ball but poor defense
Taylor ("Chuck"), was a sensational
player, like Parsons, the Portland boy,
but better. Parsons Is worthy of men
tion, also "Bill" Main, a great defensive
half. Bishop C95. '96. '98. '99) was a
fast half but poor on defense.
Seth Kerron. at fullback, was a great
all-around player. He was big. strong,
fast, and had great nerve. McKlnney
had greater possibilities but used his
head less and wasted three years fool
ing around at guard and tackle. In his
last year he played fullback and was a
whirlwind. He weighed 200 pounds,
was exceptionally fast, and a regular
Hercules for strength,

PROTEST
NOT
CONSIDERED
California Power-Boat Clubs AVill
Not Affiliate With New Body.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11. (Special.)
After lengthy debate pro and con and
a unanimous expression of opinion from
representatives of all the yacht and
power boat clubs in the Bay district. It
has been definitely decided that these
organizations will continue to maintain
their membership in the American Power-boat
Association and will not ar
filiate with the newly organized Pa
cific International Power-boat Associa
tion. ' composed of seven clubs In the
Northwestern states and. British Colum
bia. This action was taken at a meeting
to consider the protest sent down by
the northern association after several
of the local clubs had announced that
they could see no reason for severing
their affiliations with the parent organ
ization in the East. All of the Califor
nia sportsmen were unanimous on the
subject of remaining with the parent
body and a committee consisting of H.
L. Burleson, Frank Baker, I. H. Cory
and E. Forrest Mitchell, was appointed
to draft an answer to the protest of
the northern power-boat men. The
local sailors will explain that while
they hold only the kindliest of feeling
for their northern brothers, they can
see absolutely no reason for making
the requested change and incurring the
heavy additional expense.
The answer to the protest will be
mailed to all the members of the Pa
cific International Motor-boat Associa
tion, these being the Seattle Yacht Club,
Portland Motor-boat Club. Royal Van
couver Yacht Club, Lake Whatcom
Motor-boat Club, Tacoma Yacht Club
and the Everett Motorboat Club.

Varsity Basketball Team Is
Carrying Cripples.
FAST IDAHO TEAM FEARED
Coach Hayward Falls to Find Player
to Take Place of Captain Jam
ison, Star of Last Year, Who
Is Missing Now.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 11. (Special.) Doubt pervades the
Oregon basketball camp on the ce of
the opening game with Idaho on the
local floor Monday evening. The cause
of the apprehension Is the failure of
Coach Hayward to unearth a player
capable of filling the large gap left by
Lthe departure of Captain Jamison of
'Inst year's team.
Basketball Is a game with so few
men on a sido that the loss of even
a single star of Jamison's proportions
may disrupt a whole team. Jamison
was unanimously chosen for all-Northwest
forward last season and was Ore
gon's most dependable point-getter. He
and Walker played together at the
two forward positions until each had
learned to know almost intuitively at
what part of the floor he could find
the other at any time. The result was
a high degree of perfection in passing
between the two men.
Now Walker declares he cannot work
with any of the new players who have
been tried at the vacant station with
anything like the same smoothness.
Hayward has almost given up hope of
finding a replica of the lamented Jami
son. He has ransacked the freshman
stables for "dark horses" without suc
cess, for, although there is a goodly
supply of high school luminaries In the
Infant brigade, they have failed to
qualify for the Intercollegiate game.
The two players who have finally
been selected as the most likely are
Brooks, a junior from Silverton, and
Boylen, a sophomore from Pendleton.
Both are fast, willing and have plenty
of basketball experience, but they are
shy on avordupols. Brooks weighs only
120 pounds and Boylen's displacement
Is Just ten pounds more. Even with
their speed and cleverness, they will
be at a disadvantage when playing
against the big men of the conference.
To complicate matters. Captain Ole
Sims, the regular guard, sprained his
ankle so severely in practice Thursday
that he will probably not appear In the
lineup against Boise. This makes the
personnel of the team In the opening
game problematical. With Sims out of
it. Walker and Brooks will probably
play forwards, Fenton center and Brad
shaw and Boylen or Briedwell guards.
Another arrangement which has been
used successfully calls for the displac
ing of Brooks at forward by Fenton,
the shifting of Bradshaw to center and
the playing of both Boylen and Bried
well at guards. Should Sims get Into
the game. Brooks would probably be
the recruit given first chance, as he is
a forward, while Boylen and Briedwell
have been working at guard. The line
up would then be: Walker and Brooks,
forwards; Fenton. center, and Brad
shaw and Sims, guards.
The Idaho squad, consisting of ten
men, will arrive Monday. Two games
will be played, on Monday and Tues
day evenings. The lineup of the North
erners has not been announced.
OLDFTELD DEFEATS TETZLAFF
Mile Record In Competition Lowered
to 36 1-5 Seconds.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11. Barney Old
field took the measure of Teddy Tetzlaff
In a match race at the motordrome
board track today and incidentally es
tablished a new mile record in competi
tion. The race was the first of two one
mile heats and will . be completed to
morrow. Oldfield took the lead from the start.
Tetzlaff was three lengths behind when
Oldfield's car crossed the tape, after
having negotiated the mile in 36 1-5
seconds. The former record was 39
seconds by Caleb Bragg in a race with
Oldfield on the same track.
Felix Magone, who drove five miles
In three minutes, 15 3-5 seconds. 12 sec
onds faster than was ever driven in
competition, smashed another record.

be necessary to win three of the four

Close Contests Foreseen. '
However, the lineup of rival athletes
is not one to "indicate an overwhelming
victory for either club. Two of the Se.
attle men, Grappler Runchie and Boxer
Rothus, are favorably known to Port
land fans, but the unknown strength
of Selger and Croshaw. the other Se
attle men, combined with the uncer
tainty of the Multnomah representa
tives, leaves the Issue In doubt.
McCarthy, a championship middle
weight, steps out of his class to meet
the middleweight. Seiger, but Eddie
O'Connell is confident that McCarthy's
speed and knowledge of the game will
enable him to score over his heavier
opponent. He will weigh in at 16S
pounds. CUbborn has yet to make an
appearance In an interclub match, but
his workout performances have been
flattering. Derbyshire is a good mid
dleweight, just a trifle under the
Miebus class, but. Croshaw's ability is
unknown. Gay beat "Knockout" Spen

Rothus is of the opposite school of
fighting, a boxer rather than a clumsy
swinger.
Five Boxing; Bouts Possible.
The preliminary situation is rather
complicated. Edgar Frank, chairman
of the Multnomah Club indoor athlet
ics committee, has announced four box.

be increased to five. Boddy, a Colum
bus Club 125-pounder, is available, and
Martin, a Multnomah lad. may meet him
in a three-round, go. A switch may
send either Powers or Kelly against
Boddy. There Is some question regard
ing the Knowlton-Bovett bout, but In
any event Knowlton, the champion of
the Northwest amateur lightweights,
will be seen in action.
The officials of the meet will be:
