Newspaper Page Textf THE" SUNDAY OBERONIAN. PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 2, STEWART, IGNORING RUMOR, WORKS Of 0. A. C. Football Coach Hard at Task of Shaping Squad for Oregon Game. STUDENTS SHOW LOYALTY Resolutions of Confidence In "Doc" Are Expressed Players Hope to Hold University to Small . Score at Least. OREGON" AGRICULTURAL. COL I.EGE, CorvalltB. Nov. 1. (Special.) With the air full of unpleasant rumors that the O. A. C. Varsity la torn with dissension and handicapped by the In ability of its members to harmonise with the coach, the situation in foot ball circles at O. A. C. Is still unsettled. Dr. Stewart is ignqring the charges which have been brought against him and is hard at work whipping his men Into shape for .the fracas with Oregon, now but a week distant, i Resolutions and expressions of confidence have been presented to the coach by the Orange O Club, the Student Body' and other organizations.. The rumor will not down, however, that all Is not well. That there is - a faction on the campus that is not friendly to rr. Stewart Is admitted, but it is held that this faction is not representative, and that "Doc's" adherents far outnumber his opponents. Every member of the squad has expressed his allegiance to the coach in the face of the attack now being: made apain?t him. The team appears to be united, and If there is any. lack of harmony it is not notice able to the outsider. Aggies Still VnfinfMheil. Local funs are wishing that the Ore gon game were two weeks distant In stead of seven days. A week seems too short a time for the coach to round his injured players into shape and to in still the pep and aggressive speed into the team, which ' will -be necessary against an eleven like Bezdek's. The Aggies are still rough and unfinished. There is not the snappy, smooth, machine-like work which comes only after the members of the team have worked together for weeks. Injuries, the loss of Bhaw, and the failure of some of the more promising new men to de velop Into varsity caliber, have made It necessary for "Doc" to make numer ous and repeated changes in his line up. Even at this late datd It Is not "known how the players will be ar ranged when the whistle blows next Saturday, The Injury to Chrlsman has proved more serious than was at first thought. Stewart is working desperately to find a man to take his place in case he is unable to play against Oregon, as would now seem to be probable. Finch, the most promising line scrub, is out with two ribs caved in. McCord, next in line, has left college. There seems to be no other man available who is equal to the task of blocking Oregon's Beefy, front rankers. To meet the rmergency, Stewart has shifted Smart to Chrlsman's berth. Smart has been substituting for May at end, during tho latter's period of convalescence, and Is equally at home anywhere on the line. Although he is by no means the equal of Chrlsman in strength. Smart has been putting up a good game since Tuesday night, and in all probability the tall Californlan will be seen in action at a tackle berth next week. Some Features Rncoarnglng. The work of Robertson and Abraham at the fullback positions, and the good footwork of Blackwell and Larsen, are the encouraging features of this week's practice. Robertson was slow in round ing into form this year, but has now struck his stride and Is putting up a game that is pleasing to the coaches and fans. Schuster pnd Hayes seem to be the best available halves, although both are new at the game and lack ex perience. Corvallis dope artists do not pick O. A. C. to win the cominir hnttie Th fear that the advantage of a heavier line and a faster back field on the part of the Oregon Varsity will be too great to overcome. It Is expected, however and the work of the team this week Justifies the hope, that the Aggies will put up a game much better than that at Seattle, and that Bz.lek will not be able to run up a score of more than 14 points. Every O. A. C. fan Is confident that the local team will fight hard Satur day, that the men will work together and with their coach, and that after the game there will be absolutely no room for charnres such as' were made after the Washington disaster IDAHO TEAM GETS REST Whitman Game Expected to See Men in Best of Condition. MOSCOW. Idaho. Nov. 1. (Special.) The Idaho football team is getting a much-desired rest, and Coach Griffith has been applying very light workouts this week in order to get his men Into good physical trim again before put ting them through s.-rimmage practice. The Oregon game following the W s" C. battle wiihin a week's time found practically every player In a more or less weakened state and unable to put his full force into the fight. Coach Griffith predicts that his war riors will be In top-notch condition by the date of the Idaho-Whitman game on November 15. and that at that time they will put up a much better fight than in either of the previous games. Scrimmage work will commence again next week. B KEEP UP GAMES is CRY Herrmann's Scheme to Drop World's Series Opposed. NEW YORK. Nov. 1 (Special ) President Thomas J. Lynch, of the Na tional League, and Manager John J McGraw. of the Giants, both have come out strong against the proposed scheme of August Herrmann, of Cincin nati, to do away with the "World's se ries and sinstitute an interleague se ries, including all the teams of both major leagues, during the last few weeks of the season. They both de clare that the presenfc arrangement is the best and only plausible way of de ciding the hase!a!l championship of the country. President Lynch says: "I am strong ly opposed to doing away with the world's series. The plan which is sug gested as a substitution would tend to decrease rather than stimulate interest in the National game. The. world's se ries today is the biggest event in In American tporls and arouses country-wide interest. There Isn't a city, town or hamlet In this country where the series desnt stir up great "excite ment. sn lnterriuo arrair would bo so long, drawn out that Interest would lag and the game would become merely local contests, instead of contests of National importance." Manager McrGaw is even more strongly outspoken to Mr. Herrmtnn'i plan. He says: "The clubs which fight their way through a hard season for the first honors in their respective leasues settle thee hampionship ques tion in those leagues beyond the shadow of a doubt. All the clubs have a chance for the pennant in each league. They play 2 2 games with each other, and if that isn't enough to de cide which is the best among eight clubs I fail to see what plan could de cide it as definitely. "This interclub series." continues Mc Graw, "has been the argument for sec ona division clubs for several seasons. Tou wouldn't hear a protest from any or these clubs if they happenecr'to win a pennant. They hate to see the vic tors get the spoils they justly deserve, and want to declare themselves In on the post-season harvest. There isn't a chance of the world's series being dropped. It is too great an event in baseball. I am not saying this because the Giants have been in the last three world's series, but I would say it no matter which club in tho National League won the pennant. I am strongly opooaed to the interclub plan." Mr. Herrmann's radical plan is to shorten the National League season to about 10U games and during the last few weeks of the season have each club of the National League club play each dub of the American League a series of games. Mr. Herrmann and the club owners who favor this plan argue that this would be a much better way of deciding which was the championship team. They arprue, for example, that some of the other clubs in the National League would have given the Athletics a closer battle this year than the Giants did. The fact that the Giants defeated every other National League club in every series of 22 games, how ever, proves conclusively that they'had the best club on the older circuit. The same -may be sajd of the Athletics in the American League, BOWLING LEAGUES GAIN X11KKE ORGANIZATIONS ROLL ING 'ON PORTLAND ALLEYS. Scores of Initial Series Are Better Than Expected Players Are ' Showing Consistency. With three full-fledged bowling leagues, Portland will take a place on the Winter's bowling map.

The first week's averages rolled In the Commercial League show the dif ference in the caliber of the men. The averages of the big and minor leagues of baseball show little difference on the whole, but in bowling there is a wide gap.

While doctors, mothers, old maids and bachelors am making all this fuss over perfect babes wearing clothes or going without them, there are In the gymnasiums of the city boys and girls wno nave gone oeyona tne toddling stage, but are yet able to lay claim to some of this glory. One of the best is Raymond Douglas, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Patrick Douglas, of 777 Overton street. " This ' boy has been working in the gymnasium and the swimming pool of Multnomah Club for the past two years. He never was sickly, nor did he ever show any" particular need of a milk and toast diet, but is just a natural, healthy, robust young American, who rinds enjoyment in romping with the other boys of Multnomah Club, and is benefited by the systematic work pre scribed first by Professor Robert Krohn, and now by his successor, J. Lee Thompson.

Big Leagues With Strings on Them. Los Angeles Times. SPARK-PLUG wearily mopped his brow. "Fer the luv of -Mike, leave ol Hen Berry come home," he said, flop ping Into a chair In the sporting de partment. The sporting editor looked up in quiringly and Spark-plug continued protestlngly, "It's too dern hot fer this work." "What work?" asked " the sporting editor. . "Takin' Henry's meals to him," said Spark-plug. "Hen's men bldin' out in the mountains, waitin' fer the torm to pass. I have to take his meals to him in my automobile. If you guys would only stop hammerln in the pink sheet3, he copld come home agin." "Who's been hammering him?" de manded the sporting editor Indig nantly. "Well, there ain't been much ham merln' to speak of," replied Spark plug sarcastically. "Nobody ain't hardly said, a harsh word. Only when Henry steps proply from the train with his plans for the eomin' baseball season. The Times takes a poke at his floatin' ribs; one of them Sari. papers bites him in the son. "Ha ie not perfect. There never will be one, as the standard will change witn the times and as the tables to which all measurements are referred will differ with different authorities. However, Raymond is Just one ex ample, of whom there are probably more in our own gymnasium. The graphic representations of his points of excellency and shortcoming show him to be well up toward 90, taking 100 as perfect. That's good enough for any boy." The method by which the standing of any particular boy is derived is a rather long process. There are several systems in vogue. That which Mr. Thompson uses is known as Dr. Jay W. Seaver's Anthropometric system. The table from which the value of each particular part of the body is de termined is scaled from the average obtained by laking the measurements of a great number of well-built and well proportioned boys. The table in this case was derived from the measurements of 150 well-de. veloped boys of the McDonogh School in Maryland. Their ages ranged from 13 to 14 years. . . Raymond Douglas Is larger than the average boy of his age. Although but a little over 12, he compares almost with the average of the 14-year-old. The boys from whom the average was made were students of an academy known for its adherence to books. That accounts for the fact that the head measurement of Raymond falls a little short of the table established in the East. However, he would stand high in an average made up of, say, Port land schoolboys. In the case of his knee and ankle, they are both small. To be in keep ing with his general physique he should have registered about 75 in the percentage. His knee "measured 29.2 centimeters. It should have been about 31.7 centimeters. This gives him a percentage of 40 on that score. This discovery gives Instructor Thompson a chance to give the proper work to develop the knees. He will be given work at Jumping, and in six mocths of work In the gymnasium he will very probably have brought the knee to the ri-ght proportions. oar and this here Beaney my Gawd Magi "When Hen seen what Beany said about him, he rings me up on the telephone and he says, saya he, 'Bring yer wagon and git me out of here quick," says he.

"I think that Henry has been treated outrageously," he said. "He has just been telling me over the long distance telephone about his alliance with the Washington Americans for next year." Spark-plug raised a protesting hand. "Hold on," he said. "All I ast you to do was to leave Hen come home. I don't ast you to believe all the bull." "You don't believe it?" asked the sporting editor. "Sure I believe It," said Spark-plug. "I believe It every year about thia time." "Well, at least Hap Hogan is going after the players," said the sporting editor. "Sure he is," said Spark-plug.

'But different." said the Spark-plug, grinning.1 "Hen pays real money and gits players and can't make them play. They lay down for him like Maggart done.

"The Cleveland club sends them to him," said the sporting edtior. "Bull," snorted Spark-plug.

"Don't laugh yourself to death what ever you do. These here green college j boys ain't fast enough fer Hap Hogan or Hen Berry; they're just good enough fer a few rotten, second-class teams like Connie Mack's Athletics and the New York Oiants. j "When M jGraw was out here In Los i Angeles on a vacation, he seen a coupk of kids playin' In a sand-lot game on the St. Vincent's College team, and when he went home he took Snodgraai and Artie Sbafer wit him.

Walter Johnson, wanted to git a Job wit the Angels when he was playin" on a hick team in the oil wells, but Dillon looked him over and said he wouldn't do." "What's the answer?" said the sport ing editor. "The answer is that there won't never be good ball teams on this Coast until Berry and Hap Hogan stop hang-' ing around the back doors of the big leagues wit. their hats in their hands watin' fer a lot of busted-up ball players to be passed out wlt"i strings tied to them, to be took back if they ever show signs of life.

But instead of Hen or Hap gettin' him, he will be grabbed and gent East by the scout of some big league ball team that ain't subject to fainting fits at the sound of real money.

THORPE SHOWING FORM M'GRAVV'S IXDIAX RECRUIT EX . PECTED JO BE IX 1914 TEAM. Sac and Fox Athlete's Main Weak ness of Taking Swing at Every, thing Rapidly Being Overcome. NEW YORK. Nov. 1. (Special.) Jim Thorpe, the Sac and Fox Indian, of Olympic games and football fame, who has spent the Summer learning pro fessional baseball under the tutelage of John J. McGraw, is beginning to- show signs of developing into a big league player. Although he did little to ward "aiding the Giants in winning the National League pennant of 1913 since he signed a New York club con tract, Thorpe has not wasted his time spent upon the players' bench. Ac cording to other members of the club, the Indian will be ready to break into fast company before the middle of the 1914 season if he continues to improve next Spring at the pace he has been maintaining in the past few months. Thorpe proved abHolutely green, so far as big league baseball was con cerned, when he joined the Giants' training squad at Marlln Springs, Tex., early in the Spring. Aside from' his National athletic prowess and the abil ity to drive out tremendous hits when he could hit the ball, he was the veriest kind of a "rookie." He showed McGraw, however, that he was willing and eager to learn, and he has been one .of the hardest workers during all the prac tice sessions of the Giants. He de veloped surprising speed on the bases and fields and throws in excellent style. His one weakness Is inability to waif for a good ball when at bat. Thorpe as yet has not overcome the fault of swinging at everything. One of the veterans of the team. In discussing Thorpe, said recently: "The Indian is a wonderful natural athlete, a fine, companionable teammate, and has the making of a great ballplayer. He has learned a lot during the sea son on the bench and has shown more improvement than any of the green recruits. Just as soon as he learns to make the pitcher put the ball In the groove before hitting at it, he will be ready for ie big game." SPORT. NEWS EARLY in the year Dr. G. J.

Ross 220-yard champion, and Colly Wheeler 500-yard title owner. None of these boys is at .ls prime yet. With proper coaching we ought to have some world-beaters in Portland.

You should have heard Nitk shout. He culled me everything under the sun, but, unlike most man agers, he did not fire ma. He is a great manager to work for." The miracle epoch! The mountain will come to Mahomet; The White House will rot Into junk; Professor Ty Cobb will be minus a job, And Gil Dobie will cut out the bunk.
