DOUBLE HEADER IS
OK CHRISTMAS BILL
Two Football Games Will Be
Playsd on Multnomah
Field Thursday.
CLUB TO MEET ST. JAMES'
I'calure Gridiron Event Will Test
Winged "M" Squad, Is Belief.
Frank E. Watklns' Team to
Clash With Arlcta Eleven.
Christina day footba.ll followers In
Portland again will bo treated to a
double-header. Manager Stott, of the
.Multnomah Club football team, an
nounced yesterday that the Frank E.
Watklns. champions of the Archer
Wiggins League, would play the Ar
Inta team a preliminary match to the
big game between the Multnomah sen
iors and the St. James Club Ali-Stars,
from Vancouver.
Both lineups are still In the mak
ing Vancouver's because of the fact
that all of the town's college heroes
nave not as yet returned from the
schools and Multnomah's because Man
ager Stott Is holding back until he
sees Just what Vancouver will put In
the field against him.
Vancouver will have two stars in
J lap Miller, left half of Coble's cham
pionship machine, anil "Tubby" Xlles.
Whitman College fullback. This will
be the first Portland appearance of
the great Whitman all-star.
These two aro enough to put fear
In the heart of the Multnomah team,
and. to say the least, the Winged "M '
will have to exert Itself to keep the
Vancouver clubmen from spoiling Its
clean slate.
Roan' Lou Is Kret.
Multnomah waded through a heavy
schedule and was victorious. Much
of this had to be attributed to the
work of Quarterback Peter Rodes. for
mer Annapolis star; Hlckson at end and
O'Kourke on the line.
The absence of Kodes left the club
in somewhat of a quandary. Manager
Stott has tried to remedy the situa
tion by putting Rupert and Patterson
behind the line to handle the pivot.
They will be alternated at the post
Rupert played the season at guard
and was a terror at the post. He had
some experience at quarter In years
past when playing on the Albany Col
lege tram, but for the past two sea
sons he has done nothing as a back,
lied man.
lie was put In ns a chance and
shiwed more speed and snap than was
usually credited him. Stott is sure
that he has uncovered a find in the
big red-topped lieman.
Tatterson is the other man for the
post. Patterson's football experience
began and ended with his all-star days
on the Lincoln High School elevens.
He was one of the biggest luminaries
of the days he -went through school
and has gained weight and strength
without expense to his speed. Manager
(ttott expects him to take care of the
post in good shape.
Other Places laehanged. -
The rest or the team Is about the
same us that which played through the
regular schedule!
The F. E. Watkins team will have a
toush aggregation to meet in ths pre
liminary game. The Arleta eleven is
composed of all the stars of the teams
which the Watklns aggregation de
feated in the regular schedule of the
football league of which it won the
title.
The general admission fee to the
game will be 75 cents, while $1 will
secure a seat In the grandstand.
The lineup will probably be:

outfielder Kd Kippert, drafted from
t'.e Vancouver Club by the Keds. "1

dent Herrmann gave each man an in
crease of 25 per cent over the salary
they drew last season.
One who is in Manager McGraw's

The Memphis Cluh, of the Southern
league, has entered claim for out
f. elder Smith, a premising youngster
sit-ned by Manager Griffith, of Wash

y-oung Smith was a free agent when
he nunc J him. Manager Finn, of
Memphis, claims that the Memphis
11 ib purchased Smith last season from
the Adrian Club, of the South Michi
gan League, and that the records of
Secretary Farrell, of the National
Association, will sustain this claim.
The New York Club has only one

Mike Donlin Is down to weight, and
if he makes good on the present trip
of the Giants, will probably be retained
by McGraw for next season.

Bombardier Wells' Defeat Carries
Moral, Says British Writer.
Commenting on the one-round knock
out victory of Carpentier over Bom
bardier Wells, the London Times says:
"It is c;ear taat our boxers must learn
Infighting if they are to hold their
own with the American champions and
such Americanized experts as Carpen
tier. The latter has studied the Amer
icanized style, which Is the latest mod
ern development of the art, and real
ized the superiority which it confers
over merely physical advantages in the
shape of height, weight and reach
Wells preferred to stick to the accepted
methods of the British school, and con
sequently, although a ftne boxer, was
tgnominiously beaten,
"His case is. in fact, exactly typical
of the present position of this coun
try In almost all branches of athletics,
and until we learn the lesson which
is the moral of his defeat we cannot
begin to hope to regain oor old pre
eminence in fields of sport."
Other papers dwell upon the pitiable
exhibition by Wells, and speak of the
fight as the Waterloo of British box
ing and the most inglorious happening
In the history of the British ring.

GUN TOURNEY ASKED
Portland Club Would Have
1914 Coast Shoot Here.
BOARD MEMBERS PLEDGED.
San Francl9co and San Diego Both
Present Applications at Session
of Interstate Association to
Hold 1915 Meet.
At the recent meeting of the Inter
state Association, held in Jersey City,
the Portland Qun Club extended a for
mal Invitation to hold the 1914 Pacific
Coast handicap tournament at the traps
In Kenton. No definite answer has been
received by J. E. Culllson. president, bit
the meet is almost assured, as several
of the members of the board have given
their consent to boost for Portland.
The Pastime Gun Club, of San Diego,
requested sanction to hold the Pacific
Coast handicap shoot at San Diego in
1915. San Francisco also has made ap
plication to hold the tournament, along
with the world's trap-shooting tourney.
Both applications will come up before
the Interstate Association at Its next
annual meeting, because the present
board of directors has jurisdiction over
the 1914 event.
The Interstate Association sent out
letters to Its more than 7000 members,
asking whether any changes are fa
vored In the rules governing a tourna
ment, but all clubs seem to be satisfied
with the rules, which have not been
changed since 1909.
It is being hinted that a change in
policy may be made. At present the
Interstate Association gives cash to all
clubs holding a regular licensed tonr
ney, but hereafter. It Is intimated, tro
phies will be given instead. This per
tains to state shoots, which will be
known as the state amateur champion
ship contests.
The National professional champion
ship events, which have been features
of the grand American handicap, will
be discontinued. No professional or
trade representatives will be permitted
to comDete in the main event and not
even for "Targets only" in the grand
American handicap.
Although several thousand club shoots
were held this year, only 282 registered
affairs were held in the United States,
raciflc Coast shooters cut quite a figure
In the slaughter of clay pigeons. More
than 7000 shooters took part in the of
ficial shoots and 4,526,570 targets were
broken for an average of 16,057 at each
match.
Following are the members who make
up the tournament committee which
will select the time and place to hold
the 1914 event: Ted Doremus. of Wil
mington, Del.: William B. Stadfeldt, of
San Francisco; Harvey McMurchy, of
Fulton. N. Y.; James T. Skelly, of Wil
mington, DeL: Tom Keller, of New
York, and F. B. Clark, of New Haven.

FEW DUCKS BAGGED
Hunters Have One of Lightest
Seasons in MemoFy.
FAVORITE RESERVES FAIL
Fine Preserves Along Columbia,
Which Were Prolific Year Ago,
Fail to Disclose Birds This
FallMild Weather Blamed.
Although the official closing of the
duck season In Oregon is still a month
off. Portland hunters are about ready
to oil their guns and put them on the
shelf after a Jail of the lightest use
most of them ever had.
Most of the hunters have coursed
about from nook to nook sampling
all of the favorite resorts of the game
getters. Some of them were good
but In many places where the gunning
was excellent a year ago, this year
failed to disclose a single bird.
Such was the case of the finest pre
serves along the Columbia. The best
hunter was the "man who went down
to the tidal flats on the Lower Co
lumbia. Five miles on either side of
Astoria the hunting was farly good all
through the Fall.
The shore bird season closed on
December 15, but there were no wails
heard for the gunners saw so little of
the black-breasted and golden plover,
jacksnipe and greater and lesser yellow-legs
that they were .entirely un
aware of the fact that the season
was ever on.
The lack of game was attributed to
the fact that the Fall has been a very
mild one with few storms severe
enough to bring the birds in.
JEWISH BOYS TO PLAY SOOX
Death in Members' Families Halts
Schedule for Short Time:
Owing to the deaths of Mrs. Gold
stone and Mrs. Weinstein, the Jewish
Boys" Athletic Club basketball team
will not play any games until after the
first of the year, but then they will
go for the Northwest championship as
well as the city championship.
The manager of the J. B. A. C. says
he has' been charged with being afraid
to play some teams, because they are
too hard to beat. This is not the truth,
he says, as the J. B.' A. C. team will
play any team that is close to their
weight. i
After the first of the year the Jew
ish Boys desire to play two games a
week, one on their floor on Wednesday
and the other on any other day with
the exception of Saturday. Any team
that weighs about 140 pounds can get
a game with the J. B. A. C. by writing
to Hyman Schwartz, care of the
Franklin Hotel, or calling between 11
and 12 noon. They would like to hear
from the Lincoln High, Montavilla,
Sellwood Y. M. C. A., Jefferson High,

BASKETBALL FAN'S FAIL TO SHARK
: PESSIMISM OF BEZDEK.
" '
First Real Test of Oregon's Metal to
Be in Christmas Contest With
Squad at Sllverton. ,
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Kugene,
Dec" 20. (Special.) Coach Bezdek's
basketball squad of 30-odd players took
an adjournment for two weeks after
practice last night. They will report
after ' the holidays for a month of
strenuous preparation for the hardest
schedule ever outlined, for an Oregon
team.
Bezdek is only mildly contented with
the showing made by his pupils thus
far. "I can't make any predictions,"
said the ex-Chicago athlete today,
using his stock statement of the re
cent football season.
Although Bezdek has not been able
to discern any cause for exultation in
the outlay, the fans who hang" over
the gallery railing detect class In the
work of some of the new men. The re
cent inter-class - and lnter-fraternity
games have furnished even a better
criterion than the nightly altercations
between the first and second teams.
Bryant, the speedy football recruit; H.
Sims, a brother of the Oregon basket
hall captain of last year; Davis and
Wheeler, of last season's freshman
team, and Kirk, an experienced man
from Salem, are among the likely play
ers who hitherto have hidden their
light under a bushel.
The unprecedented victory of the
freshmen in the inter-class series, in
which the neophytes won the cham
pionship and humbled the three other
classes, shows that varsity reinforce
ments may be expected from the first-
year ranks. The , team consists of-
Bigbee and Furney, forwards; nuaiey,
center, and Huntington and Walcott,
guards. '
The Oregon team will have its first
trial against an outside aggregation
when it meets the Sllverton five Christ
mas night.
The finals in the Inter-Fraternity
League remain to be decided. Sigma
Nu, the Avava Club and the Oregon
Club are the three survivors of the
elimination series. The home-stretch
struggle will be staged immediately
after the end of the holiday vacation.
Genesee Beats Indian Team.
GENESEE, Idaho, Dec. 20. (Spe

ketball team defeated the Fort Lap
wal Indian team here last night by a
score of 51 to 23. Clyde Meyers, of
Genesee, played the star game and did
some pretty basket throwing.
North Bend Defeats Marshfield.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Dec. 20. (Spe

Newsboys Want Games.
The Newsboys' basketball team would
like to hear from some fast 100 and 120

GAME HAS AFTERMATH
"COMMERCIALISM" IS. CHARGE
AGAIXST ARMY-NAVY.
Suggestion Is Offered That Contest
Should Be Staged Alternately at
West Point and Annapolis.
BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 20. (Special.)
There is much difference of opinion in
the aftermath pf the Army-Navy con
test not as regards the brand of foot
ball so much as the staging of the con
test in New York and the immense
crowd of spectators that bruited the
sentiment of the affair. As usual there
are two sides to the question. Those
who cannot see that any harm was done
by turning thecontest into a sporting
event instead of a contest between rep
resentatives of the two protective
branches of the Government, ask what
can be expected when Congress does
not take enough Interest in service ath
letics to appropriate money for building
of stadiums at West Point and Annapo
lis. On the other side, it Is advanced
that if the games were played alter
nately at the two academies it could be
arranged to have accommodations for
the military dignitaries to attend and
preserve the "Army and Navy forever"
spirit.
Some are inclined to tavor tne return
of the annual contest to the social cir
cle of the service. The public can do
verv little without a chance to see tne
contest, and, in fact, wouldn't care to
see the game If it was necessary to
travel to Annapolis or West Point to
attend. There are too many other big
SDorting events at home. With the
Navy strenuously objecting to the game
being played again In IJew lore, n
would be pleasing to hear that it had
been decided to return to the alternate
playing at the two academies.
The games were started in 1890, when
the first was played at West Point. The
following year it was played at An
napolis, and the scene was then shifted
back to West Point During the fol
lowing seven years but two games were
played, and when the series was taken
up again the contest was played on
Franklin field, Philadelphia. Since
then it has been shifted about between
Princeton, Philadelphia and New York.
It will be interesting to see what set
tlement Is made to keep down the
rumor of commercializing the service
game and at the same time keep up
Interest in the contest-
RULES MAY CHANGE
Trotting Association Offers
Proposed Amendment.
NORTHWEST FAVORS PLAN
Alterations Not as Comprehensive as '
Expected More Thorough Re
vision Not Possible Until
State Laws Change.
Changes in the National trotting
rules, which the Board of Review se
lected for the rules committee of the

sider at its meeting in Chicago on De
cember 16, will find many supporters
in the Northwest, according to opinions
gathered by the Pacific Horse Review.
Although the proposed changes are
not as comprehensive r.or as general as
some expected, a more thorough revl- .
slon of the rules could not be accom
plished until some of the state laws
have undergone a change
One of the movements tends towards
abolishment of the record system of
handicapping. Northwestern horsemen
favor this change.
Another move is to give the Judge
and the association the right to reverse
a decision in the event a mistake has
been found, without the necessity of
waiting until such time as the Board
of Review and Appeals has acted. On
this horsemen have little to say.
The rule changes as proposed are as
follows:

ples shall be allowed three seconds In ad
dition to the allowances in Sections 4 and

race for a specified amount to which the
nominations and payments, all of which are
forfeits, aro made on a specified date or
dates.
Section 5. A purse or class race Is an
event to which all of the cntlrles are. made
on tho same date and to which but one pay
ment or entrance fee is required unless oth
erwise stated In the published conditions.
Rule 18, Section 1. Amended by striking
out the words "and the entrance money re
minded" In the 12th and 13th lines, and In
serting the words "When a purse or class
race is declared off under this rule, the
entrance money shall be returned to the
nominators. When an Installment plan purse
is declared off under this rule, the entrance
money and forfeits shall be divided between
the nominators who made the final pay
