PRACTICE STARTS MONDAY Among: Candidates Portland Boys Prominent, "Dark Horse" New man, ex-Star Lincoln High, Showing Form In Field. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Jorvallis, Sept. 19. (Special.) Twen ty-five athletes, under the guidance of Coaches Stewart and May, will arrive In Corvallis tomorrow after a two weeks' outing- at Newport Beach. They will come prepared to continue their training- for one of the heaviest foot ball schedules in the history of Oregon . Agricultural College. In order that his proteges might have euiiicient time to devote to the irk some, but necessary task of registra tion. Dr. Stewart dispensed with the aiternoon workout, thereby disappoint ing a number of early-arrived fans who had assembled in the hope of giv ing some or the much-boosted new comers the "once over." The men who will come in seemed for the most part to be In the best of condition. Lutz, whose arrival among me rantcs 01 tne euglbles has been long ninicipaiea, is protecting a sore shoul der which will keep htm out of scrim mages for some time. "Rusty" Groce has a severely wrenched ankle which is still stiff. King, Charles "Dod," not w. u. Biilie, is still limping, and '"en and Allworth are handicapped by sore sides. The rest of the - men seem lit. Practice to Begin Monday. "Doc" will issue a call for the first official practice Monday afternoon, and tne tnua or cleated boot on taut pig DrvlI win di neara on me campus daily until late in November. The sea eon this year will last nearly three months. Beginning with the alumni game next oaiuraay, tne aggies will have only one open Saturday until the University 01 ooumern California game Novem ber 28. The schedule is as follows: Septem ber -t, aiumm at corvallis; October 3, Multnomah at Corvallin: nrtnhr in Multnomah at Portland; October 17 vuiameu8 university at Corvallis; October 24, Washington State at Pull man; October 31, Washington Uni versity at Albany; November 14. Uni versity of Idaho at Portland; Novem ber 21, University of Oregon, In Port land; November 28, University of South ern California, either in Corvallis or Los Angeles. The selection of a place for the final game has been postponed awaiting developments in the Southern California conference. Alumni Game to Dedicate Field. The new Oregon Agricultural Col lege athletic field will be dedicated by the alumni game next Saturday. Ever ett May is spending his time acquiring talent from the lists of the stars of by gone days. He promises that this year the alumni game will be a real scrap, without the delay and "crabbing" which have marred previous games with the old-timers. Among the luminaries Everett hopes to have in action are Fendergast.- Hawley. Bennett, Chris man, Keck, Otto and Charlie Sitton, "Rat" Reinhart, "Shrimp" Reynolds and Kellogg. "Doc" will follow prece dent and use a large number of his more primising lads in the course of the conflict. "Doc" seemed amused when-reminded of the announcement from Eugene that v,pia.in jrarsons, dismayed by the lack of material, had departed for Portland to round up worthy eligibles. "That report tickled the boys at the camp," he said, "because most of them realize, as I do. that Bezdek's string this year Is equal to any at the university in recent years. Oregon Squad Called Strong, "Take it from me, the Oregon team will be every bit as strong as it was last Fall. - The idea of Parsons desper ately combing the state for material is about as weird as Dobie'B announce ment that his veterans have all Osler ized themselves. No, I think the fans may expect formidable elevens from both universities.. "Whether or not we will be enough stronger than we were last year to de feat these teams is a question which cannot be answered this early. I have some good new boys, and the vets are all working hard and look good. But I've got to find a kicker, and most of my recruf,tsrhave yet to learn a lot of football. I could spend all my time with the linemen, and not develop a man half as good as Chrisman was, and to find three backfield men to put around Abraham will be no easy task." Of the backfield candidates, the one man whose work at training camp branded him as a real find, was "Dark Horse" Newman. Lincoln High School half back. Newman Is a fast, shifty lad, and his style ot play fits in with Stewart's pet formations. "Rusty" Groce is another. Lincoln High product who is fast, but "Dark Horse" has the advantage of about 20 pounds of meat. Freshmen to Meet. . Sometime -before the opening of the conference season the local freshman team will meet the university yearlings at Eugene. This game should rival the big scrap November 21, as both Institu tions have a number of fast men in their entering classes. Dr. Stewart's freshman squad will include such men as Haerline, Watson, Newman, Groce, Miller, Butt, Bisette, Henry, Mortimer, Knopff and Williams. A "second team" game will also be played this Kail between the Oregon scrubs and the locals. This scrap will be staged in Corvallis. and with the alumni, Multnomah and Willamette games, will Kive local fans plenty of early-season entertainment. Should the University of Southern California game come to Corvallis, no complaint will be heard regarding the playing of the Idaho and Oregon games in Portland and the Washington game in Albany. From a financial point of view the Oregon Ag ricultural schedule this Fall Is believed to be ideal. AVERAGES COUNT . BUT . LITTLE Big League Players Disregard Per centage Column In Games. Big league managers have little re gard for averages, either batting or fielding. This was strikingly illus trated in a recent battle between the Giants and the Cubs. Larry .Doyle, who was hitting .225, was at bat, but Hank O'Day. rather than let him get a chance at the ball, had him passed in order to get at Burns. Now Burns was hitting .311 and led all the Giants- except Grant; moreover, lie had been one of the best men in the league in driving home .runs. O'Day's scheme went through all right, for Burns flied out, but. of course, it is possible that Doyle might have done the same tbg. 3 AGGIES GET PAVEY Noted Ohio Athlete and Trainer to Help "Doc" Stewart. TRACK WORK SUCCESSFUL New Man Expected October 1 Will Have Classes In Physical Train ing and Is Expected to Be Great All-Around Addition. OREGON AGRICtTLTURAL COL LEGES, Corvallis. Or., Sept. 19. (Spe cial,) Ralph M. Favey, a graduate of Ohio State College and of the Chau tauqua School of Physical Education, has accepted a position at the Oregon Agricultural College as Instructor in physical education and assistant coach of football, basketball and track. ' He will arrive October 1. Dr. Stewart's new assistant is one of the best all round athletes ever de veloped at Ohio state, being a mem ber of the varsity football, basketball and track teams. He was graduated in 1912, being captain of . the track team In his senior year, and the fol lowing year he successfully coached the track team at his alma mater. He is a hurdler and a weight man. "Doc" Stewart became acquainted with Pavey at the Summer session of physical di rectors at Chautauqua. N. Y., last Sum mer, and realising his fitness for the position open here, recommended him to the president of the college. For the past year Mr. Pavey has been head of the physical training work in the high schools of Toledo, O. Dr. Stewart says that the new as sistant will be given charge of the freshman football team as soon as he arrives in Corvallis. The material for in excellent "rook" team is available this year, and "Doc" expects Pavey to turn out a winning aggregation. In basketball Pavey will have charge of the class teams, and assist Coaches Stewart and May with the varsity.

In addition to his coaching work. Mr. Pavey will co-operate with James Ar buthnot in the handling of gymnasium work and physical education in gen eral. The completion of the new gym nasium will make possible a large amount of physical training on the part of all college students. The appointment of Mr. Pavey makes the coaching staff at the Oregon Ag ricultural College complete. Every branch of athletics is well cared for, and Dr. Stewart is hopeful for a suc cessful year. R. P. STEWART IS RABID FAX Seaside Kesldent Has Seen Every World Series Since They Began. SEASIDE. Or.. Sept. 19. (Special.) R. P. Stewart, owner of Seaside's pic turesque flower garden shooting gallery,- hails from Middleton, Mass., and since coming "West lit 1877 has made 80 trips to and from Middleton. having traveled some 30u,000 miles, not count ing th many side trips. These side trips included taking in every championship baseball series since they began, and annual visits to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras until the Portland Rose Festival began. H has also witnessed the various at tempts of the English to lift the Amer ica cup. Mr. Stewart will leave for the East September 21. He will take with him as a traveling companion Jack Eppen ling, the 10-year-old son of Mrs. L. M Eppenling, of 719 Weidler street, Port land. While Mr. Stewart Is a 33d degree fan and follows the Coast League bat tles during the season, he is also deeply interested In what Boston is doing in both leagues in the big bushes. Sev eral times a month when the Beavers are at home Mr. Stewart visits Port land to take in the games, and he pulls harder for Portland to win than any home fan. He picked the Boston Braves to win the rag early in the season, and he has watched the miraculous climb since July with great glee.. v. - r r J " ' . 1 1 7-1 : j.'-: SF-.-.i,-.-:: v.-.

The victory of Captain Todd, of the Grayling, on Sunday afternoon, added another to his many trophies won at the Oregon Yacht Club each Spring. The Grayling has won the trophy for the Summer series, the commodore's flag for three firsts in one season, the Feldenhelmer trophy for the champion ship of the series and the pennant, which will be added to the long string the CJraylingr now carries. . In addition to this, each, of the win ning crew receives the club gold medal. The victorious crew comprised Captain Todd, Miss Gladys Todd, Fred Newton, Whitney and Bill Smyth. The Virginia, Commodore Menden hall's boat, took second honors and the crew of that boat receives silver medals. me wearers will be Commodore Men denhall. C. Hastorf . H. Hazlett, A. A. Poolman, A. G. Ramsay and Harrison. Nicholas Kenosha is the third boat of the club. His crew consists of Art Sholin. James Troy, D. Irwin and Carl Potter. An additional feature of the Sunday regatta was the women's race, in which Mrs. T. J. Mendenhall sailed the com modore's boat to an easy victory against Miss Todd in the Grayling and Mrs. Hugh Hazlett. in the Kenosha. The race, from the yacht club to the Wlndemuth baths and back, meant sail ing through the most dangerous part of the river during low water. Never theless, all kept their boats off the bot tom. Mrs. Mendenhall's crew consisted of Mrs. R. M. Emerson, Mrs. H. C. Has torf, Mrs. A. A. Poolman, with Commo dore Mendenhall acting as general util ity man. With -Miss Todd were Miss Minnie Backus. Mrs. Fred Newton, Mrs. E. J. Carr, Mrs. R. B. Bain and Fred Newton acted as ballast. Bill Towey is the canoe champion of the club by his victory in the singles. With Paul .Carry, he ' also has the doubles honors. D'Arcy, Sholin.

Now that Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding have taken back the Davis cup to the land of the kanga roo, by virtue of their victory over the best America put forth, the thought comes that this probably was the last stand of the great Australians in the battle for the international trophy.- Brookes, although still a wizard of strokes id court tactics, loses his strengtl id speed after a hard session on the v its. and in 1915 this will be even moi pronounced. . , Wilding, too, although a massive ath lete and sinewed like an ox, 'seems to be slipping backward and has not at any time since his appearance In this country shown the form that formerly won him the championship of all the world. He, too, probably will be con tent now to step dowr with Brookes, his captain, and let younger men take up the burden of defending the trophy they fought so hard and so gallantly to take back to iha other side of the world. v SEPTEMBER .20, 1914. STORMY IS SEASON FOR OREGON TEAM Bezdek Says Prospects Are "Worst That I Ever Seen" arid Contests Are On. VARSITY TIMBER PICKED Real Work ot Week Marks Cornwall, Snyder, Caw ley and Philbin in Running for First Team.-Whitman Game 3 Weeks Away. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. K..rn Or.. Sept. 19. (SDecial.) To the cas ual observer who might wander Into Kincaid field and watch Hugo Bezdek put his Vvarsity squad through an aft ernoon's practice, there at once would occur the thought that Oregon's pros pects are exceedingly bright in the title race for the year 1914. -Rut nnt so with the head mentor. worst that I ever seen." he growls when questioned. Hurry, hurry." he shouts and th practice paces grow faster. Oregon has a storm v susnn ai.a A glance at her schedule shows it, and xsezaeK is putting his men through harder work at an earlier date than ever before. To the 18 who made the pre-season training trip to Nimrod .the test is not so severe. The tardy ones, however, are having a more strenuous time in rounding into shape and it Is taxing them to the utmost to keep up with the urgings of the coaches. Quartet 'Varsity Timber. The real work of the last wtr ha. marked Cornwall. Snvder. Caviav n-nA Philbin as real 'varsity timber. Cawley and Snyde have been play ing the guard positions; they have the strength, weight and speed, and appear to have the edge upon all other new candidates trying for sentinel berths. Callison. of Eugene, is another guard who will bear watching; this fresh man tips the scales well above the 200 mark and possesses an abundance oi ngnt. Powrie, another Eugene product. Is bidding high for a tackle location an-d has already landed the position upon the freshman team. With Sam Cook and Beckett sure to be seen in the regular lineup, little chance of ousting these stars is open to recruits; never theless, room must be made for "Bun ny" Philbin. and it is likely that either Cook or Beckett will be pulled into a guard position and Philbin played at tackle. Bezdek is working hard with Philbin, hoping to make a punter of the big freshman, and today he was booting for an average of 50 yards, even when handicapped by his change of form. In order to gain speed in getting his kicks away the form change was made ,and though it has lowered the average in yards the gain in speed offsets this loss, and it is only a mat ter or time until Philbin will be kick ing well around the 60-yard zone con sistently. .Lincoln Ex-Star Plugs Away. At the center Jake Risley. former Lincoln High School, Portland, favor ite, is plugging away for the honors with Dick Nelson. The race is close and there is little to choose between the two men. Nelson Is much the heavier, yet Jake overcomes this with his experience in the position. Both boys will be "given a complete try out before the -first selection is made and if either is found waiting Philbin then will be called upon to take up the bur den. At the wings, Weist. Garrett. Hen dricks. Nelson and Mitchell stand most prominent. Weist especially looks like a sure bet and is far ahead of his last year's form. Barring . injuries, Bradshaw's scrappy little substitute should be -seen regularly at the right extremity most of the season. It is yet a toss-up between Mitchell, Gar rett. Nelson and Hendricks for the other vacancy; all have had experience and are determined to "make good." Cornell and Bigbee stand In a class by themselves when in the signal call ing offices, and competition Is confined and centered solely upon their efforts. Both will handle the 'varsity, with Cornell playing the heavier role Backfield Rivalry Keen. The backfield is the seat of the keen est rivalry. With Captain Parsons, Bryant and Malarkey on the job an experienced trio is seen in action; but whether they will retain their posi tions is doubtful for such men as Hunt ington, Monteith. Cornwall, Couch and Spellman are giving the veterans a run that is causing more than one "rail bird" to shake his head and mur mur sympathy for thjo future displaced warrior.

R. dek and his assistants are having their nanas tuu in the whipping together of a 'varsity team which will Rive a good account of itself in the first con- terence game of the season. It is this reason, coupled with inexperience of most of the candidates for line posi tions, that has caused scrimmaee work each afternoon: every man out is used in these miniature games.

VIHGIXIAi LEFT TO RIGHT MR INTERSCHOLASTIG SQUADS DEPLETED Failure of Some of Eligible Stars to Return Causes Worry in Camps. SCRIMMAGES START SOON Columbia. University Coacli Is Most Fortunate in Having Letter-Men Back Schedule for Season Is Announced. BY EARL R. GOODWIN. Although, graduation had little to do with the lack of letter , men for this season a interscholastic football, the failure on the part of some of the eligible stars to return to their re- spectlve schools has caused a great deal of worry in local camps. Iast week saw the opening practice, but the real hard scrimmages will not start until tomorrow afternoon. Coach Callicrate, of Columbia Uni versity, so far is the most fortunate tutor in the local league, as seven 1913 letter men were out in suits for the first call and one or two more are ex pected before many hours. Captain Nixon, Malarkey, St. Marie, Kurtz, Niles, Leonard and Willis O'Brien al ready have answered the summons of the varsity coach. Only Two at Washington High. Captain Walker and Anderson urn the only 1913 letter men Coach Virgil .can nas to Duild around to make a Washington High School eleven, but several promising candidates are on deck and all looks rosy to the East Side coach. Charles Johnson, who made such a sensational showing the latter part of last year, although he did not play enough to make his monogram. Is out, along with Casey. Phillips. Wood land. Brubaker and "Young" Parsons, brother to the famous Johnny Parsons, of Oregon University. The Washingtonians are out daily on the Portland Field, East Twelfth and East Davis streets, but because the first game of the season is against the Columbia University two weeks from next Wednesday, the East Siders will have to hustle to be in condition to meet the university players. Surprises Said to Be Ready. The two new coaches. Bill Graham, of Hill Military Academy, and Homer Jamison, of Jefferson High, have not been with their squads long enough to get a line on their new men, but reports have It that Coach Jamison has several surprises in store for local fol lowers, of the Portland Interscholastic League football. Captain Irvine, of the Jefferson team, is one of the best quarterbacks developed in local circles for several years. Sam Graham, brother of Coach Bill Graham, will head the cadets during the 1914 campaign, and more than two full teams are on the Kaleigh-street lot each evening. Hill and Jefferson will hook up for the second game of the year two days after the Washing- ton-Columbia tussle. The Lincoln High aggregation is be ing watched over by Coach Borleske and only five letter men are with him so far. Captain Ray Groce. Frank Busch, Charlie Johns, Walter Tan nensee and Fernald Cornwall are the former monogram men now with the West Side high. October 3 Game Sought. Coach Borleske Is angling for a game for the Raiisplitters for October S, but as yet nothing definite has been set tled. On that date. Washington High probably will play either Manager John D. Dwyer's Multnomah second team or one of the Valley high schools. The final game of the local prep season is scheduled for November 25, with Coach Hurlburt's Portland Acad emy youngsters and the Hill Military Academy as principals. The annual Lincoln-Washington affair is slated for Wednesday, November 4. Coach Hurlburt, of Portland Acad emy, is watching over more than a. score of prospects to help Captain Por ter obtalna winning combination. Bul ger. McClintock and WJiitmer are some of the mainstays who likely will be seen against the Cardinals October 14. - Franklin Hlsh'a Chance Slim. Because only freshmen are attending the Franklin High School, there Is lit tle chance for it to be represented in the Portland Interscholastic League this Fall, but before the basketball sea son starts the new institution hopes to be in the running for admission.
