First Winter Strong Columbia Aggre
gation Is Held to Tie Score and
In Second Honors Are Even
With Multnomah Chib.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or.. March M. (Special.) Two years
of soccer tootball and the Oregon team
lias neither won nor lost a game. This
is the record that Coast Dyment ancf
his warriors have hung on the wall,
where the scores of the college athletic
teams are exposed to the public gaze.
No defeats and no wins Is a feat of
which the college is jjroud. Just one
year ago the popular English game was
introduced to the Oregon campus and
that season found the Lemon-Yellow
men meeting Columbia University,
interscholastic champions of the state,
and holding them to a deadlock score
in a brace of games.
nl vear every member of the old
first team returned to college and went
to work with a vim and with the ex
pectation of meeting the fastest senior
teams of Portland: tneir nopes
realised when a favorable vote of the
student body placed soccer on a sound
nnancial basis, but the games were to
be con lined to one team the Multno
mah Club, rated as the most formidable
aggregation in the state.
Tie Flayed With Mnltaomak.
Two weeks ago today Coach Dyment
and his squad invaded Portland and
met the Multnomah eleven on thetr own
field. When the last whistle sounded,
brinrinir the contest to a close, the
Oregon team was once again tied up
tight for supremacy. This outcome was
better than was hoped, for It was the
first step that the collegians had taken
Into big league company.
On thetr Teturn home the soccer team
went into their daily practice sessions
with a can full of ginger and life they
were to get a chance at the clubmen on
their own campus. Saturday came
around and both squads were reported
to be in great shape. After a hard
fought battle in a heavy downpour of
Tain the game closed with a 1-all tie,
incidentally the Oregon soccer season
was at a close.
Captain Neal Ford, who held down an
outside left position, was rated as the
most clever passer and dribbler on the
Leraon-Yellow squad. His brother.
Hugh, who played on the other extrem
ltv. was a good hard worker, although
he did not possess the speed that bis
captain did.
Tuerek Scores Well.
Tuerck. at center, was the star of the
team; Bill had a habit of breaking up
plays and carrying the ball down the
tieid for many a chance at the goal. In
the first Multnomah encounter he scored
all of Oregon a three points.
Sheehv. freshman from Jefferson
High, was a clever passer and has the
distinction of registering the goal in
the last Multnomah contest.
Kathburn, another forward, served
his second year with the team and
h tar red against the clubmen when they
met Oreaon here, lie kicked out of
daiurer on more than one occasion.
Pearson, at forward, was a steady
ulaver. although never spectacular in
hin work.
Peter Crockett, inside right, is a real
Scotchman, having played the game in
the old country, and was a great aid
to Oreron at all times.
Spell man and Campbell, at the two
back berths, were strong, heavy play
ers, who had the ability to batter down
an opposing front and to snatch the
ball out of dantcer.
KalMun, halfback, always gave
good account of himself.
Goreczky, goal, came to Oregon from
I he Portland Interscholastic League and
played the same position for the Lemon
Yellow as he did for Columbia in "prep
days.

What effect has age on
ability?
The late Kalpn Rose was breaking
weight records when 18. Marks that
had been "thrown at" for & decade
were egg shells for the California In
fant. "Ted" Meredith was a student at
Mercersburg Academy when he estab
lished the world's records in the 800
meters and in the half-mile. .
Robinson, another Mercersburg lad.
in May, 1813, ran the 100 in 9 4-5 sec
onds, and watches caught his time at
20 4-6 seconds for the 220 in the Penn
State meet.
Howard Drew, the colored flier of
the University of Southern California,
was a high school student at Spring
field. Mass., when he competed in tne
1912 Olvmcic games. He ran away irom
Craig, of Michigan, in the preliminary
heat, but sprained an ankle and could
not compete in the finals, which Craig
won easily. He ran the 100 in 9 3-6
seconds last Spring In a dual meet in
California.

Hobgood. of the Oregon Agricultural

breaker from the start.
Athlete of 3-' Is Star.
Four vears ago a man of 32, who had
been married for ten years, entered a
Middle West university. He had never
been Interested in running, but when the
gym classes were taken out tor an

more than average ability and won his
monogram as a member of the mile
relav team.
A Klondike miner wno naa maae a
small stake came back to the States
and entered the academy of a large de
nominational college. He was past ju
and had been in the mines from the
time he ran away from his New Jersey
home, at the age of 12. He was coaxed
to try for basketball because oi nis

He was janitor of the gym, so would
sneak down and practice after every
one else was in bed. He was a star
at ringing up free throws.
Football Player la 36-
Two seasons ago Illinois had a tackle

brought his family and was taking an
agricultural course.
Plank, for ten years tne mainstay ot
the Athletics, who Jumped to the r ed-

son, was past 25 before he decided to
enter baseball. Most major league
players are nearly through at the age
he began.
Walter Johnson did not play ball
when a boy. He did not become inter

14. He was with Washington when

he had played a dozen games and was

Los Angeles athletes scored .another

BIG THINGS EXPECTED FOR COLUM
BIA MEET OJV APRIL 10.
Larger List Than 230 Amateur Athletes
of Last Year Is Promised for
Indoor Track Events.
Followers of track and field athletics
already are speculating on the out
come of the Columbia University indoor
meet which is scheduled for Saturday,
April 10. Since tho inception of the
Columbia classic 12 years ago, interest
in the event never has been so great as
it is this year. A review of the past
meets shows that the University of
Oregon had its chain of victories broken
last year when the Oregon "Aggie"
contingent carried off first honors.
This had been the first victory for the
Aggies since 1905.
The Columbia meet is recognized as
tho most important event of its kind
held on the Pacific Coast. The major
ity of the records made on the local
indoor track have been adopted by the
American Amateur Union as official
Coast records. The Columbia track is
the only indoor dirt track west of the
Mississippi. Last year 220 amateur ath
letes were entered In the Columbia
games and this year's entry list prom
ises to be even larger.
In the open events the University of
Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and the Multnomah Club always
have furnished the closet kind of com
petition. This year will be no ex
ception, as all three institutions will
be represented by the strongest teams
in their history. Both the Oregon
Agricultural College and the University
of Oregon have an abundance of new
and untried freshmen who should be
in- excellent condition for the Columbia
affair on April 10. Multnomah, as
usual, will be represented by veterans
like Philbrook. Bellah, Hawkins and
McCIure of Olympic fame.
The Columbia meet each year brings
together some of the best talent in
the Northwest. With most of the local
interscholastic "stars" of last season
registered at the two state institutions
this year everything points to a great
battle for hrst honors next montn.
The academic division also may result
a few surprises. Little is known
about the present strength of the In
terscholastic teams, but it is almost
a certainty that most of the local
schools will be represented by strong
contingents.
Actual training bas been in progress
for some time. Last year Washington
and Columbia fought it out for first
place honors and it was not until
Washington had defeated Columbia in
the relay that the winner was known.
These two rivals will again be strong
contenders this year.

RAGE RULES DRAWN
Motorboat Club May Divide
Regatta in Six Classes.
FREE-FOR-ALL IS PROVIDED
Table of Speeds Being Worked Out
to Enable Committee Quickly
to Classify Boats in Each
Division Trials Required.
Tentative rules covering the pro
posed classification of races and gov
erning the running of races have been
under discussion in Portland Motor
boat Club circles for the past several
weeks. The regatta committee under
chairmanship of Len Meyers, has been
hard at work going over a mass of
data and working the available Inform
ation and suggestions Into a set of
racing rules that would best fit the
local situation.
In all probability there will be six
classes, including a free-for-all open
to boats, irrespective of power, up to
40 feet in length over all and includ
ing a cruiser class open to all boats
coming properly under the commit
tee's definition of "cruiser." The first
four classes will be defined according
to cylinder capacity and displacement
and will enHble practically all types
and sizes of boats, not covered by the
cruiser class, to find a proper classi
fication for entry.
A table of speeds is being worked
out which will enable the committee to
classify the boats into their respective
classes quickly, upon the completion
of a speed trtul over a set course.
The length of the racing course will
vary according to the different classes
from five miles up to 25 miles, with
short legs on the lnp to enable the
boats to be kept within sight of the
Judge's stand as much as possible.
The club's official measurer. Ernest
VondeWerth. will co-operate with the
racing committee In determining tho
class into which the particular boat
belongs and in certifying as to tho cy
linder capacity of the motor.
Except the entries in the free-for-all,
all boats will be expected to make
a speed trial over a set course to
enable their ratings to be determined.
Anv boat exceeding this rating by pro
bably 370 in any regular race will be
disqualified.
The races are to be open to any boat
or boats belonging to any recognised
vneht or nower club, and open to un
attached individuals upon approval of
racing officials. The start will De
flying and tho boats will draw for po
sitions. Outside of tho free-for-all,
a boat can enter its own class only,
although it mav Qualify for entry into
a higher class upon proper showing
being made.
In these davs of aerial navigation.
any means of propulsion except that of
under water, will be Darrea, unless sin
ficient aerial-propelled boats are ob
tnineri to make a special class.
No "dope" will be allowed to be
mixed with the gasoline to increase the
power, .
The committee has the promise of
several splendid trophy cups for the
coming races, and It is expected from
the present enthusiasm of the members
that there will be a large racing fleet
With the club offilcals all in navai
uniform and the sailors decked out in
their yachting regalia, with the Com
modore and his aids directing the nau
tical maneuvers, the citizens of Port

coming regattas.

HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
Real Purpose at 9prt, However, De
clared to Be fr Improvement

SEATTLE. Wash. March 20. (Spe
cial.) Alaskans here believe tho re
cently adopted policy of Federal au
thorities prohibiting betting on the
races will sound the death knell of the
All-Alaska sweepstakes and other con
tests between Northern hounds over
snow-swept trails.
Northerners last Fall began to sus
pect that dog racing was doomed, for
turkey raffles at Thanksgiving and
Christmas, two of the Northland's popu
lar forms of amusement, were forbid
den on Seward Peninsula by Federal
Judge Tucker. It was then feared that
betting on dog races would be stopped.
When the Solomon derby, a short
distance race of about 75 miles, and a
kind of tryout for the big event was
run recently, a band of deputy United
States Marshals Informed the North
erners that any bets made on the race
would be considered as gambling trans
actions and an offense against the peace
and dignity of the United States. In
short, those wagering money on the
tryout would be guilty of felony and
subject to the severest punishment.
It had been said that the real pur
pose of dog racing in Alaska was to

University of Oregon track squad, num

through the paces In preparation for
the Columbia Indoor meet April 10.
There Is no one holding back on Kln

on the track is putting all he has Into
his work, while Bill Hayward stand
on the sidelines. Judging the men and
determining the possibilities of the re
cruits. "I will do the worrying." said the
veteran coach, "and the boys will do
the work. Yes, they look good and
there Is no reason why Oregon should
not have the greatest team which h
ever stepped the courses this season.
It is undoubtedly the finest material
that I have ever handled at this col
lege." A letter from J. H. Bach, athletic di
rector at Columbia University, said Dr.
E. J. Stewart, the Aggie mentor, had
declared his team would be Just as for
mldable as the one which romped away
with the meet at Columbia a year ago.
This meet always has been popular
with the Oregon tttudents. athletes and
coaches, as it formally ushers In the
track season and provides an opportu
nity to give the men a close "once
over."
Much depends upon the outcome from
the Oregon point of view. Should tlm
wearers of the lemon-yellow emerge
victors then the probHbilitv of sending
men East to the Pennsylvania relay
games will be taken up. The college,
as a whole. Is desirous ot entering ath
letes in the big Eastern clnsslr, and I'
five or six men on tho present tqusil
live up to expectations it Is morn II, an
likely that the Far Wctt will br rep
resented when the first crack of the
starter's gun is heard In the East.
"It Is a little early yet" remarked
Hayward, when aFked about tho Penn
sylvania games, "to tell whether or not
I have the men who will stand a chanc
in the fast company. I expect to kno.
though, within a few weeks and my one
hope Is that the confidenco 1 now have
in Loucks, Nelson, Gore.rky and Payne
an star track men will not go glimmer
ing when I put them to the more never
tests."
Just three weeks remain before Port
land fans will get a glimpse of the Ore.

work their hardest to condition them
selves, so as to regain tho lsiircls the
Aggies took away for tho first time
last Spring.
