TIIK SUNDAY OKEGOMAX. TORTLAXD. DECEMBER 14, 1913. as promoters OF COLLEGE SPIRIT "For Old Willamette" United Cry at Famous Institution at the Capital. TRAINING IS DEMANDED Athletes Who Fall to Follow Inst rue. tlons of Coach Arc Voted Down When They Are, Vp for Orfk-e 'n Hands of Student. WILLAMETTE ITflVERSITT. Salem. 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 of the players ia seen and praised, while the shortcomings of the gridiron rep resentatives arc passed by unless kii.J ly commented upon. and every effort made to nmke this or that candidate for the tieten stronger In th-jir weak. 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 Record for season of 1913: Willamette University 10, Alumni 0.

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.

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 1914 FOOTBALL TEAMS OF THE LEAGUE. CJusi T. &ec7riait'7hret; MySSfeYieu-y ' "Old Wlllnmettr" Football Pqaad, I pper Ron.

Captain Mulkey may not be back at the i call of the 1914 football season and in that case a new quarterback will have to be found. Stanley Howard will be graduated this term, but he will in all probability be present next Fall. 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 cause of injuries, he. was one of the 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. Washougal Has Basketball Hopes. WASHOUGAL Wash.. Dec. 13. fSne- cial.) Basketball practice began this week at the High School and from present Indications a strong team will be put out.

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 High. - CHRISTMAS CAME SCHEDULED St. James Club Draws on Colleges for Football Material. The Multnomah Club-SL James Club football game has been definitely scheduled for Christmas day. Manager Utnll'a nrnnnflltinn to rlaV Oil the Mult- nomah field was accepted during the week. The St. James team will re semble a State of Washington All-Star lineup. It has ISller and Anderson, of the University of Washington, and Nlles. of Whitman. Roscoe Fawcett will referee. Dudley Clarke will umpire, and Sergeant Hunter, of Vancouver Barracks, will be the head linesman. Multnomah will take up real train ing again this week. filllMAX TO FIGHT IX NORTH Ex-Amatenr Lightweight Not Likely to Box His Friend Powers. Ralph Gruman. lightweopht' ex-amateur of Portland, who recently dis tinguished himself by defeating Mc Veigh, iylll be home in about a week. Ralph may stay in the north for a while and take on a few matches in the vicinity of Seattle. He would like to meet Sammy Good, another Port land lightweight. Fans have suggested a match be tween Powers and Gruman. but the two are close friends and there is little probability they will he matched. I,en Powers is In town and will rst another week. He has several matcnes In view, and a scrap with one of the leading Northwestern lightweights is scheduled. NEW MACHINE GUN RAPID Vnlleil States Army Colonel Invents 800-ItonntIs-a-Minate Weapon. LONDON. Dec. 11. A new machine gun which is almost as hanely as a rifle and for which a capacity of SO0 shets a minute is clainii .1 was shown in operation at Rlsley. not only on the ground, but from an aeroplane In flight. The new gun ts the Invention of Col nel Iewis, of the United States Army, and is manufactured by the Birming ham Small Arms Company. In appearance It Is similar to a rather large rifle with an outer jacket cover ing the barrel as with the Maxim gun. Each bullet, as it passes from the muz zle, draws a current of air through the packet, and so keeps the barrel cool, while the action Itself la entirely auto matic. fcuO rounds a minute being pos sible. Ordinarily the gun Is mounted on a tripod so that the flrer can always have thr butt at bis shoulder and his eye constantly on the target, but the gun is so handy that It ran be fired from the shoulder alone in emergencies. With one of these weapons mounted on an aeroplane Lieutenant Stelllng warf, of the Belgian army, gave a re markable exhibition, flying over the ranges and tiring at white sheets about 20 feet square spread on the ground. He got 11 hits out of 14 shots at an al titude of 600 feet, and almost aa many at 1000 feet. BRIDE - THIEF SENTENCED fiirl Who Stoic to Go 'on Honeymoon I Put on Probation. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.

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 leased because he had committed no crime. Following his release he was sent to the hospital for the insane. His stay there was short, the authori ties deciding that he was not insane. 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 rons. As a final solution a guardian was appointed and Nestinger was sent to the poor farm with the understanding that his guardian should pay for ht.-i keep out of Nestinger's property.
