II UXIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Bept. 20. (Special.) Oregon football
jtock has dropped several points dur
iJng the first week of practice. With
Jhe prospect of an unusually large
,r"ing or veterans and a likely dele
'pation of "prep" school stars, the sky
'jiniy a week aco looked ultramarine
to Coach Bezdek and his ramp follow
ers. However, when on Monday after-
ipioon there appeared only a handful of
; candidates conspicuous by the absence
-f many of the faithful who had been
banked on as certainties, the clouds
began to gather, and the succeeding
practices have not cleared them away.
Bezdek disavows any intention of
peddling bear stories. He does not
'prophecy disaster for his team at this
Vtrly stage of the season. However,
he admits that he is discouraged with
the progress of his work thus far, and
unless the absent ones return and the
squad shows an improvement in quan
tity and quality, he cannot see Oregon
for the front place in the conference
'championship race.
Practice la Delayed.
"We are already a week behind in
the development of the team," says
-the coach. "L'ntil all the old men re
turn I cannot start my system. It
would mean that I would have to teach
the late arrivals over again what I
had already drilled Into the rest of
the squad."
Bezdek doubts wnelher the material
which be has to work with is of equal
(icaiiber to that of me 1006 squad from
which he molded an eleven which
cleaned up the Northweat circuit. Uow
"ever. It must be remembered that the
1906 layout included half a dozen stars
of unusual brilliancy. Men like Moores,
, .Chandler, McKinney. Clarke. Hug and
Finkham do not blossom out In every
season s crop. While the present squad
does not boast of so many members of
football s "who s who," it may furnish
just as strong a lineup. On this pos
sibility the new mentor pins h's hopes
lor success.

KICKING GAME IS EXPPXTTED
'Pink Griffith Says w Rules
Will Chanse Football Slightly.
MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 20. (Special.)
That football as It was played last
year is about the form of contest
wanted by its enthusiasts is evidenced,
according to Coach "Pink" Griffith of
the University of Idaho, by the Blight
changes that have been made in last
season's rules. The only changes, he
says, which will at all affect the 1913
game are the ones permitting the use
of the on-slde kick and the one more
closely defining the time at which a
man receiving the forward pass may
be Interfered with by a defensive
player. This year the ball can be kicked
from anywhere behind the line ot
scrimmage, where last season's rules
required the kicker to be back at least
five yards. "This change," said Coach
Griffith, "will make the 1913 game a
kicking game more than it has been
in the past and will Introduce many
more shift plays."
"The other main change relating to
the forward pass," said Coach Griffith,
"will have but little effect on the act
ual playing, but will make much easier
work for the official. Last season a
man receiving a forward pass could
not be Interfered with until he had
caught the ball, while this year's rules
permit Interference from the instant
the passer has the ball in position to
peg."
The only other change, he said, that
is worthy of mention, Is that providing
for the return of a man who has been
taken out of the game. Last year if a
man were removed at any time previous
to the fourth quarter he could be re
turned only at the beginning of the
fourth. This year he can be reinstated
at any time during the fourth quarter.

flesh entered as this year. October 9-12
Entries opened yesterday by the fair
board show that some of the North
west's best horses are to compete. En
tered for the free-for-all pace are such
horses as College Gent, Joe Carson s
black stallion; Ella Penrose, a bay mare
owned by Air. Carson; Allerdaw, E.
Hogoboom's crack horse, and Halta
mont, owned by Mrs. . A. V aughn,
of Portland.
The 2:12 trot entries show similar
Class. The entered horses are: Alberta
Wilson, ST chestnut mare owned by Joe
Carson; Zomdell, W. G. Albert's bay-
gelding; Mrs. Herbert, owned by M.
Efcur, of Tacoma, and Dan McKinney,
a chestnut horse, owned by Joe 11c

The La Grande races start October
9 and for that reason the entries rep
resent the cream of classes, as the
other fairs of the state will be largely
concluded at that time. The speed pro
gramme committee has had greater
success enlisting entries than it ex
pected. DDBIE'S HOPES GROWING
MORE MEN ARE TURNING OUT
FOR GRIDIRON PRACTICE.
Working Lineup Is Not Yet Chosen
and Keen Contests for Several
Places Are Expected.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Sept. 20. (Special.) Gilmore
Dobie is casting wistful glances toward
the South where the two Oregon col
lege football teams have already begun
the scrimmage work of mid-training
season. As yet Dobie has been unable
to sift out a working lineup with
which to begin his groundwork. The
uncertainty as to the date upon which
Wayne Sutton, left, and Presley, cen
ter, will return to register is delay
ing the actual workouts. The work
outs this week have offered no solution
to the problem of filling up several of
the i"g holes.
One encouraging fact is that the
number of men turning out is increas
ing rather than dwindling. A spark of
light was brought into today's work
out when Dorman, the big backfleld
man of last year appeared In a suit
for the first time. Dorman has been
rather uncertain until ti.ay.
It Is a certainty from the outlook
that a team better tnan was expected
earlier in the year will be on the
field when the conference opens.
It is conceded tht one of the pret
tiest scraps for place will be at end,
with the two big Leader brothers, last
year's second string men, Schively, of
Olympia, and Hunt and Murphy of
Seattle, and Sutton, who is expected to
be in college not later than Monday,
contesting.
Washington s first pre-season game
will be with Everett high schol
week from today.
FACING SIEGE
INJURED JAW OF FIGHTER IS TO
BE BROKEX AGAIN.
Anvil and Hammer Will Occupy the
Maimed Miller" Until He la
Fit to Re-Enter Ring.
When Len Powers again enters the
ring following the healing of his broken
Jaw, a memento of his battle with
Good at Pascoe, the past week, he will
fight probably at 115 pounds.
Len's Jaw refuses to wag and will
have to be broken, again tomorrow to
insure proper healing. Len will have
to remain on a diet of soup for some
time, changed occasionally to milk and
when the doctor gets real liberal, a
raw egg.
Powers is game and expects to be
back in the ring In six weeks. Further
more he will look for another match
with Sammy Good.
Good is clever and had the better
of me In the apenlng rounds. He
failed to knock me out in the fifth or
sixth round which was the logical time
and I am sure that if that battle had
gone to 15 rounds, I would have got the
decision as he was pretty well under
when we quit, says Len.
He made a game tight of it, going
seven rounds with the jaw cutting his
cheek to pieces and getting weaker all
the time from loss of blood. He gained
a draw on pure gameness.
Powers is sure that the injury will
not Interfere with his regular trade,
that of blacksmithing, and he will work
at the forge until such time as his
molars can be put into service again. I

OLD 1LUI1IIE WEAK
FOOTBALL SQUAD LESS PROM
ISING THAN FOR YEARS.
Majority of Veterans Are Xot In Col
lege and Xew Material Shows
Little Strength.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem,
Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) Notwith
standing the fact that this year's enter
ing class at old Willamette is the
largest in numbers and the best
equipped in the way of entrance re
quirements in the history of the in
stitution, the class has brought in lit
tle in the way of football material.
Seven of last year's regulars who
faced Montana on Thanksgiving day,
have left the institution. Of this num
ber Day and Bellinger, guards, Erskine
at half and Francis, end, have grad
uated. McRae, one of the best players
ever wearing a uniform at Willamette,
will be lost to the team as the Tesult
of the merging of Willamette's medical
department with that of the University
of Oregon. McRae has played three
years at Willamette, being a star at
any position except quarterback.
Blackwell, another veteran, has entered
the Oregon Agricultural College, where
he will take an engineering course.
Stearns, left half, has gone to Evan
ston. 111., where he will put in his
last year at the Northwestern Univer
sity.
The student body and followers of
the sport in Salem know that with the
material as limited as here it will
be utterly impossible to make up these
losses in a year and that Willamette
will be far weaker than in several
seasons.
At present three veterans are In the
institution and all these are at work.
Homan, last season's quarter back;
Rowland, half back, and Bolt, tackle,
are doing what they can to bolster up
Willamette's cause.
Several players from last year's sec
ond team should make a strong fight
for the varsity. Among these second
string men Vanderwert, Pfaff, Neustral
and Tallman are considered the
strongest. Watson, a last season's
line man, is expected in later, along
with Small and Lund, subs, all of
whom should strengthen the team this
year.
Among the new students trying for
the team but one heavy man has put
in an appearance, this being Peffer, of
Dayton, a 180-pounder, with no foot
ball experience. Torklison. of Astoria
High, is another promising first year
candidate. Flegel, of Portland, a
player on last year's Jefferson High1
School team, is showing up well for a
line position. Farlss, a second year
man, new at the game, of fair weight,
is another who will come near landing
a varsity place. Teeters of Boise,
Idaho, is a likely appearing player who
is trying out for center. The schedule
includes games witn the Alumni Octo
ber 4, University of Oregon, at Salem,
October 18. n.e other games to be
played are those with Whitworth,
Gonzaga, Chemawa, Pacific and Van
couver Soldiers.
The Thanksgiving date will be filled
by a strong team, which will be closed
within a few days.

probable the races will be called off.
A lack of entries Is given as the cause.
Indianapolis. Magnates of the Fed

WHITMAN SQUAD ENCOURAGING
New Football Material Reported to
Bo Promising.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 20.
(Special.) Archie Hahn, coach of
Whitman College, is much encouraged
over the football prospects this year,
the squad which is turning out for
daily practice giving promise of de
veloping into a good team. The squad
13 especially strong on backfield ma
terial. Nine of the men have had football ex
perience with the Missionaries and in
addition a large number of freshmen
are out.
There is some promising new ma
terial. Mason, of Seattle, a 165-pound-er,
is trying for the backfield, as is
Bishop, of Vancouver High; Neis
wanger, 190, wants to play tackle;
Hoover, of Waitsburg, is training for
a backfield position; Henderson, of
Milton, and Post, of Olympia, are work
ing at quarter. Besser, of Milton; Fitz,
of Sunnyside; Clark, of Mansfield, are
trying for line positions.
IE0 LUDLUM RETURNS
WIN'GED "M" ELEVEN EXD HACK IX
HARNESS ONCE MORE.
Effort to Stay Out of Game This Season
In Vain Lineup la Materially
Strengthened Thereby.
Ted Ludlum, for several years an
end on the Multnomah elevens, will
return to the game.
7f this keeps up it will not be Ion
befor3 all of the old stars will be play
ing again with the Winged "M" de
fenders and the team will have the
same personnel which won games last
year from all comers.
Ted managed to stay away from
the psactices through the first two
weeks. However, all the time the de
sire to turn out and romp with the
others in the sawdust in the hollow
made Ludlum grit his teeth.
He would go out on the balcony and
watch his former teammates cover
themselves with sawdust" and then
squirm all morning with the stuff
down the back of their shirts, but
nevertheless attracted him and yes
terday he told Superintendent Dow
Walker that he would turn out for the
practice today.
Ludlum was a star as an end, but
the backfield needs assistance and the
little plui:ger will be pulled to half.
He is a player who never loses his
head and is quick as a deer. His re
appearance will be of material ben
efit to the scoring end of the team.
Convil, formerly playing tackle, has
beep in the backfield at the few sig
nal practices held. This leaves that
tectlon of the team fairly well sup
plied, with McVeigh, Keck and Rhoades
to fill the other places back of the
line.
Inside the clubhouse, the first turn
out of the girls and women took place
yesterday. The classes for all ages
were very much larger than was ex
pected. Practically all that entered the gym
nasium department also went In for
swimming and held a session with Jack
Codv. the new instructor.
Sporting Sparks
THE kidney spinal blow is to go un

and New York' Boxing Commissions are
discussing it and say that the blow
should be barred. Oakland, Cal., is ad
vocating the use of pillows for gloves.
Probably golf will become; as the Lon
don Times has intimated, the popular
pastime with the live fans. ,
Ty Lober may spend the Winter play

If Joe Jackson beats out Ty Cobb this
season. South Carolina is planning to
annex Georgia and sell its citizens into
capitivity, according to Grantland Rice,
of New York.
With the intercollegiate tennis and
golf settled, football and crew at Har-

pective students this year will have to
consider the situation with l ale holder
of the golf title and old John Harvard

istrated to his team last April by the
Stanford proteges of Dad Moulton.
when they came out on the long end of
a 61 1-5 to 60 4-5 score after several of
the most thrililng contests ever
witnessed in this section.
The fact that both the Northern and
Southern sections of the country are to
compete in these Portola games makes
them well worth winning.
From the north it is expected that
Multnomah will send McClure, Phil
brook. Hawkins and Bellah. The Se
attle Athletic Club will fend Con Walsh,
the world record holder in the 5b-
pound weight event, and possibly one
other.

of Oregon: Baker, of O. A. C. ; Vindor.
of Whitman; Cooke, of Washington
State; Phillips, o Idaho, and Clyde, of
Washington.
In the middle distances California
will be weak. Harry Wood, the varsity
miler. Is devoting his time to the five
mile this Fall and Earl Crabbe is get
ting Into shape for the steeplechase.
The diminutive Portlan-der hopes to
forsake the two-mile event for some
shorter distance. This will be his
initial appearance In a shorter event
and there is reason to believe that he
can shorten his distance. Recently he
ran the century in :10 3-5 a remark
able performance for a two-miler. At
present ho Is also leading the cross
country squad.
GIRLS' SPORTS ARE INCREASED
Volley Ball, Indoor Baseball and
Tennis Introilnred in Schools.

athletics, in the grammar schools or
the city it was decided to introduce
three new sports for the girls. These
are volley ball and indoor baseball
for the Winter months and tennis for
the Spring term. With five kinds of
athletics already indulged in by the
boys, the three recently acquired sports
fill the entire year of school.
At present, teams of football, soccer,
baseball and track have been organ
ized by the boys and soon basketball
fives will be seen representing the va
rious grammar schools. The athletic
committee, under the supervision of
Robert Krohn. has charge of arrang
ing schedules and all dates will be de
cided on soon.
Because a great deal of interest is
being manifested in wrestling among
the hish schools of Portland it will in
all probability be added to the sports
or recognized in tne tnterscnoiastic
league. Already students from Lincoln
Hitth are getting into trim under i,eon
Fabre, physical director of the school,
and with Dr. Rinehart tutoring the
gymnasium classes of the Jefferson and
