Or., Dec. 13 (Special.) Football days
' old w lllamette are over glad and
Memorable. Winning or losing, the
student body Is always extremely loyal
to the team and coach. The good work

pot.
At few institutions In the country
anywhere do the ttujer.ts take the per
eonal Interest in the team as at Wil
lamette, where the team Is conaildered
as their team by every student en
rolled, and among both the young wo
men and men this idea dominates the
athletic atmosphere.
If there is a member of the team who
does not respect proper training rules.
this Individual does not have as easy
going as hi might wlih, for there is
a sentiment among the undergraduates
that tho guilty ore la violating a trunt.
for the fulnliuient of which he ts under
obligations to every student In the col
lege, and It Is a well-known sort of
an unwritten law that a varsity man
hot respecting decent training rules la
marked lr he ever appears as a candl
date for oSlue at the disposal of the
students.
To further advance and cultlvato the
proper spirit In rotation to athletics,
tile "W" t:iub, an organisation com
puacj of all athletes making a varsity
Ui" in football, baseball, basketball
and track, was organised four year
ago at the university, and has dor.o all
in Its power to raise scholastic and
athletic standing of its members and
the students in general.
(Iris dab Formed.
The boosting of right athletic aims
and for strong teams does not stop
with the boys, but Is aided most
strongly by the young women, who
have organized what is known as the
tilrls Willamette Club, an association
which has as one of Its principal aims
the aiding In every possible way of the
fostering of high athletic ideals among
those training for the athletic teams,
as well as boosting with all spirit the
advancement of proper athletics at old
W lllamette.
These two organizations, the "W
Club and the Girls' Willamette Club,
are the most powerful undergraduate
associations at Willamette, and with
both working for the same end an im
rpttis is given athletics here that Is
hard to over-estimate. The general
sentiment among the students Is that
everyone while at Willamette should
be leyal. and extremely loyal to every
team wearing the cardinal and old gold.
Tms feeling, connected with the sup
port that this attitude always devel
ops. Is the reason why Willamette, with
few to select from, wins every year
unusual victories.
Willamette Students I.vyaL
The loyalty of Willamette students
to their teams is evinced in many prac
tical wnys. anmng which the following
is an illustration: One young' woman,
a member of the junior class and a
graduate of a Portland high school,
formed an association ai. the girls dor
mitory and sent a representative to the
football management n-king that they
be allowed to do all sewing and needle
repair work for the teams. As a re
sult of this request, which was made
two years ago. hundreds of dollars
have been saved which otherwise would
have been paid out. ,
Willamette has not always been on
the high financial or scholastic plane
as at present. This new era com
menced to develop with the coming of
President Human nix years ago. Dr.
'Ionian, a former Middle West star In
football, believes thoroughly In ath
letics when conducted as they should be.
While Willamette students would
like to be In the Northwest college con
ference now. they will keep on work
ing in their spirited way. taking their
reverses good-naturedly, until, some
day. they will be within the charmed
circle. t

ALBAXT. Or, Dec 13. (Special.)
A basketball team, composed largely or
former star players, has been formed
by the local lodge of the Knights of
Columbus, and It probably will be a
strong contender In games In this part
of the state. Eugene Dooley. former
leading player on the Albany High
School teams and former captain of the
Columbia University team In Portland;
his brother. George Dooley. on Albany
High School teams' for several years;
Frank D. Barrett, who played on the
Sand Point. Idaho. High School; Albert
Kropp. former JJount Angel College
player, and Edward D. Horsky. who has
played on different local teams, are
among the leading players. Theodore
Sudtell. Clarence E. Mickle and Leo
Kropp are other likely candidates for
the team.

Ozbnn f J. Walker Loads Washing
ton: Ray Urocc, Lincoln; Freder
ick I'orter, Academy, and
Sam Graham, Hill.
Now that the' 1913 football season
has passed, all the teams of the Port
land Interscholastic League, with the
expectlon of Columbia University, have
selected players to head tho 1S14
squads. The Columbia players win
meet next Tuesday and choose their
captain for the next year.
The Washington High eleven was the
first to elect and Oxbun O. Walker.
one of the best guards that ever played
In the local league and selected for
the 1913 all-star eleven, was given the
honor. This Is Walker"s second year
on the East Side squad. He represent
ed Washington against Lincoln High
last year. That was the only game
he played in the Interscholastic
League, as the first part of the season
he wss substituted for Moore.
Walker weighs 198 pounds stripped.
about 23 pounds less than his brother
Dow did when he made such a foot
ball record while attending the Oregon
Agricultural College several years ago.
Captain Morrow. Tegart. "Moose"
Johnson, Loughtnn. Knouff and Ediis
will be graduated from the East Side
school before the 1914 season rolls
around and as all are veterans. Coach
Earl will have some difficulty In re
placing them. Wilson and Cochran
will be graduated, but they have sig
nified their intention of returning next
Fall.
Walker Played All Time.
Captain-elect Walker did what very
few players on local teams accom
plished this season. In all the Inter
scholastic games of the Washington
High he played every minute and time
was not taken out once on account of
him.
Ward A. Irvine, of the Jefferson
High School, received an honor given
to but few athletes when he was re
elected to captain the Jefferson eleven
next season. Irvine successfully cap-
alned the squad for the season Just
finished, although he got oft to a bad
start.
Irvine Is a baseball star, as well
as a football hero, having been se
lected as all-star catcher for the two
seasons be has played In Interscholastic
ircles. His next year's squad will
be minus Hendrlckson, Hersog and
Kyle through graduation.
In choosing Kay Uroce. the Lincoln
High letter men picked one of the
youngest players now In the league.
Oroce played with the championship
Chapman eleven of two years ago and
ast year made his debut In Inter
scholastic games. He pluys end and
was selected to hold down one of the
all-star berths of the local league.
If everything goes well Groce will
have some of the best material In the
Ity around which to whip a champion-
hip eleven. His brother, "Rusty"
Groce Is Ineligible to compete next

Sam Graham, one of the pluckiest
players in the league, but playing with
a tall-end aggregation, was given the
honor of leading the 1914 Hill Military
field aspirants. This Is Graham's sec
ond year with the Hill eleven: last
year he played on the line and half
back, while this season he was one
of the mainstays In the backfield.
Like his two older brothers, who both
In their day captained Hill teams, he
Is a fighter from the word "zo." and.
although ho finished but few games in
the Portland Interscholastic Lcucue be

most dependable players on the Hill
squad.
Captain Brix. of the 1913 Portland
Acadamy eleven, will be replaced by
rreoericg i-orier to head the 1914 foot-
bull team. This makes the second sea
son that young Porter has represented
the Portland Academy. Last season
ho played tackle, while this year he
was switched from sruard to center and
from center to half. He Is an all-around
player and next year may find him
giving everyone a hard race for a
position on the much-sought-after
Portland Interscholastic Leaaua all-
star team.

PORTLAND JNTERSCHOLASTIC
BASKETBALL COP UP
Interfraternity Teams Will
Contest at Eugene.
THREE MEET IN FINALS
Interclass Trophy, Xiw Held by
J it n lorn, to Bo Played For Dur
ing Week an'd Varsity Squad
Begins Practice.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or, Dec. 13. (Special.) fntcrclass and
interfraternity basketball now are in
the spotlight on the athletic stage at
the University of Oregon. With the
football season a memory and the con
ference basketball season not yet in
eight, the local games are acting as
a safety valve for student enthusiasm.
Three teams remain for the finals In
the Interfraternity race for the Hay
ward cup. after the elimination aeries
of the past week. They are Sigma Nu,
the Avava Club and the Oregon Club.
The last two teams have qualified with
a clean slate. Sigma Nu lost a pre
liminary game to the Avava Club, but
the defeat did not figure in the elim
ination process.
The games of the last week were
characterized by hard playing. Monday
Sigma Nu defeated Kappa Sigma by a
score of 10 to 4. Thursday the Avava
Club qualified by winning from Phi
Delta Theta. IS to 2. and the same after
noon the third surviving team, that
representing the Oregon Club, showed
its fitness by defeating Sigma Chi,
18 to 8.
Tram Kvenly Matched.
All three teams appear to have about
an even chance for the cup offered by
Trainer Hayward in 1911 for the best
club or fraternity team, and which has
been, fought for through three hard
campaigns. All three teams contain
preparatory .school stars..
Sigma Nu heads the list with three
all-lnterscholastlc men from Portland
and two from Salem. Johnny Parsons,
football captain-elect, who played bas
ketball for Washington High School,
Is one of the guards, and "Bobby" Bean
formerly of Portland Academy. Is the
other. Dudley, the center. Is a Lin
coln High School product, Kaiser and
Benson, the forwards, both "prepped"
at Salem High ScUool and starred on
the five of that institution.
The Avava Club team has the Big
bee brothers, Morris and Carson, botn
of whom learned the science of the
game at Albany High School. Gorman,
from Hill Military Academy, and Green.
from Eugene High. School, are the
guards, and Cellars, from Portland, i. !
center.
The Oregon Clirb is composed of stu
dents who do not live at any of the'
fraternities or dormitories, and there
fore draw' largely upon Eugene for
its material. . Davis and Scalfe. for
wards; Larwood, center, and laebeer.
guard, , all played with the local high
srfeool team. Hampton, one of the
guards. Is an old Pendleton player.
None Ia Prevlona Winner.
None of the trio which will compete
for the cup has ever captured the tro
phy before, and consequently it will be
put up again next year. It was won
In 1911 by Beta Theta Pi; in 1912. by
Kappa Sigma, and last year, by 'hi
Gamma Delta. The trophy must be
taken twice by the same organization
to become Its permanent property.
The inter-frntcrnlty league Is com
posed, of all the fraternities In college
except one. and also.-(he Dormitory
Club and the Oregon Club, so that
every man In college has a chance to
play on one or another of the teams.
The interclass games will be played
the coming week. A cup Is likewise
at stake In this series, with the present
Junior class holding It.
Coach Rezdck's squad Is practicjng
nightly, and immediately after th
Christmas recess, the varsity team will
begin to get Into shape. The schedule
this year is the hardest ever arranged
for an Oregon team. Sixteen games
are te be played in the month of Feb
ruary alone.
HIGH SCHOOLS LOSE
Football Season of 1913 Fails
to Pay Dividends.
POOR SCHEDULE BLAMED
Lincoln Most Fortunate in Inter-
M-hola-tic League of Five Wash
ington Itrfues to Bark If
losing Squad on Gridiron.
Poorly arranged schedules are blamed
for the disappointing financial outcome
I of tho six teams of the Portland In
terscholastic League for the 1913 foot
ball season. The Washington-Lincoln
I game, regarded as the championship
contest of the year, was the fifth game.
I Consequently, following games were
poor drawing cards.
Lincoln High School, with one of the
test teams In the league, was more
fortunate than others of the league.
At one ganic $324 was Lincoln's share
of the gate, and $98.37 was the smallest
share received by Lincoln for any con-
est. The lowest gate for the West Side
school was that of the championship
Lincoln-Columbia game, to which ap
proximately 1000 paid admission. The
Washington-Lincoln contest was played
before more than 3500.
Receipts amounted to less than $30
for each school at several games and
at one the gate went down to $10.50
Washington High refused to back a
losing team. Lincoln did not clear
enough to support other athletic ac
tivities. Managers of the Portland Interschol
astic elevens are elected to serve but
one year. One or two of the present
managers contemplate running again
for office. Columbia University is the
only school of the league that does not
have a regular student manager.
Following are the student managers
of five teams of the league for the
1913 season: George W. uavls. Wash
ington High; Lambert Wood. Portland
Academy: A. Robinson. Hill Military
Academy; Milton Hermann. Jefferson
High, and Karl R, Goodwin, Lincoln

$10,000. but still a pauper. That is the
position of Ole Nestinger. who was
committed by the County Court to the
County Poor Farm. Evidence showed
that Nestinger possessed wealth valued
t at $10,000, but had become a nuisance
by his habit of prowling about hotels
and residences eating out of garbage
cans. He was put in jail, but was re

crime. Following his release he was
sent to the hospital for the insane.
His stay there was short, the authori

The police periodically took him to a
bathhouse to be cleaned up. but the
proprietor refused to care for him any
longer, saying that bis presence caused
a falling off in the number of his pat

that his guardian should pay for ht.-i
