BY WILLIAM L. HATWARD, Coach Pacific Northwest Track Team. The Multnomah Athletic Club offi cials have done their best to round up a. representative group of athletes to wear the colors of the Pacific North west Association at the exposition track and field championships that be gin next week. Unfortunately, however," several of the brightest stars of the cinder path ,,ln this section have' found it impos sible to make this trip, and, I'm afraid, Northwesterners need expect no cham pionship for this district in the far "Western games July 30-31. This meet is solely for the five as sociations embraced in the far West ern body, and with Windnagle, Payne, Kadderly, Philbrook and young John son on our team, I feel sure we could have cleaned up the field. Also we could have come out with high honors from the senior and junior National championships the following week. Italian's (banco Declared Good. So far as the National champion chips are concerned, I'm afraid Harry Cole, in the discus; Chester Fee In the Javelin, and Sam Bellah in the pole vault are about the only athletes who stand any chance to win their events. Fee looks like the class of America with the spear, although two or three others are heaving it more than 170 feet. Mucks, the mammoth "Wisconsin football star, is the only one who may outclass Cole with the discus, and they say Cole has thrown the platter around 145 feet. The pole vault will be won with about 12 feet 7 or 8 inches in both National meets, and if Sam Bel lah strikes a good day he stands a good chance of winning. Sam has vaulted 12 feet 9 inches. Sam will not be eligible for the Junior meet, because he tried for first place in a prior National event. Getting back to a discussion of the far Western meet, the two associations we have most to fear are the Pacific Association, with headquarters in San Francisco, and the Southern Califor nia at Los Angeles. The boys around Han Francisco have been training for weeks. I am told, but the Los Angeles situation is similar lo the situation here. The athletes are scattered all over the southern half of the state, and little systematic training has been done since the colleges closed shop. Drew Considered for 220 Duk, Howard Drew, the world's champion splinter, is employed with the Pull man Car Company, but is good enough to- win the 100-yard dash. If Drew's legs can stand the pounding of his railroad employment he may figure in the 220 dash, but Parker, of the Olym pic Club, seems the best choice. That about lets us out in the short sprint events. In "the hurdles Moose Muirhead has a 15.1 clip in his system for the high sticks, and he stands a show, although California expects to win everything in the hurdle events. Fred Kelly, world's champion, will run for South ern California, and Fred Thomson, all around champion, is training hard for the hurdles, and the discus. He like wise will represent Southern Califor nia. Walter Hummell, the Multnomah Club boy who beat Hoover in the 220 hurdles in the Pacific Northwest try outs, is said to be making good time in the 440 hurdles, a new event. Chances in High Jump Small. We dont' stand much chance in the' high jump, although Muirhead did 6 feet li inches at the Columbia Indoor meet. Horine. former world's cham pion, who has cleared over 6 feet 7 inches, is said to be in great fettle and ought to win this event for the San Francisco bunch. Bellah. of Multnomah; Borgstrom, of Los Angeles, and two San Francisco vaulters all do more than 12 feet. Bel lah has a good chance to win. -Sam won the Northwest broad jump tryouts with 21 feet, but I do not think this will place down south. In the mile Clyde, of Washington, ought to finish near the five-point mark, and Guy Hobgood looks like the best five-miler in .the bunch, so we ought to score lome points there. We don't figure In either the 440 or 880 runs. E. M. Bonnett, the star Stanford half-miler, will run for Los Angeles and Is a winning possibility. There doesn't seem to be a high class hammer or weight man in the meet, unless th,e Olympic Club can in duce Shattuck to get back into short panties. I expect to see him out de spite all their bear stories. Cole Picked to Win In Discus. Cole, as I said before, ought to win the discus, and Fee the javelin, al though Snedigar and Liversedge, of the Olympic Club, will give him a rub. Summing up, if the Northwest team gets 30 points I will consider the boys have done wonders. We may win sec ond place, but I don't see how 30 points will win the far Western chamnion. chip. The worst feature of all' is that me team is not in first-class physical condition, and the boys will not be a Die to train aboard boat. We leave here tomorrow and arrive in San Fran. Cisco July 28, or only two days before the meet. I'm prayinar that we hv smooth V'P. because seasickness might J auirie oi intra out or the running for keeps. There's only one way to win these track meets, and that is to gather a big team of the best athletes available and then get them together for a month before the meet under a trainer. That's how my Seattle Athletic Club team won the National championships during the Seattle Exposition in 19U9, and was also the key to the success of the fomous Multnomah Club win ners of the Lewis and Clark Fair four years previous. - Cliehalls Gun Tonrnament Is On. CHEHALIS. Wash., July 24. (Spe cial.) Chehalis is crowded with the best trap-shooters of the Pacific North west today, the occasion being the first annual registered trap shoot tourna ment on Millett Field. The affair is under the auspices of the Chehalis Rod and Gun Club. The local organi sation is one of the strongest sporting clubs in the state and has matters arranged to carry on the contest , in first-class order. Three sterling silver trophies, and many other prizes are' to be awarded. Among the fancy shooters in attendance are Mr. and Mrs. Tcp perwein, of National, fame. The time which elspzs between the ut teranc of a aound and its return must be more than one-twelfth of a second to torn? aa echo. - I 1 ,gwv ... , 1 f i tr .. ?

Bill Hayward has charge of the Pacific Northwest Association ath letes who are going from . Portl and to the Far-Western and Na tional track and field championships at San Francisco Friday and Saturday of this week and the same days of next. Fee hails from Pendleton, Or., and attends the University of Oregon. He is expected to make the southern boys go some in the javelin if they want to beat him out of five points in that event. RUGBY BRING END Stanford Believed to Be About to Give Up Game. SITUATION NOW PUZZLING After School Opens at Palo Alto in August Old-Style Football May Be Resumed and Matches Ar ranged With Oregon Teams. Just what will be the attitude of Stanford University during the Fall with regard to the football situatiop Is a question that is puzzling the fol lowers of Intercollegiate football the Pacific Coast over. If the Stanfard faculty remains firm in Its determina tion to foster the English game, the Cardinal students will enjoy but little competition and will have to resort to interclass games, at least as far as football is concerned. Until a few days ago the situation did not look so dark, and it was only when, the University of Nevada de cided to go back to the American game, after trying Rugby or seven years, that the Stanford student body had cause to worry. During the latter part of the Spring semester, after the breaking of relations with the Univer sity of California, Graduate Manager Beherns, of Stanford, and Manager Glasscock, of Nevada, made an agree ment for two years' athletic relations between the two universities. This agreement becomes void with the re turn of the sagebrush college to the standard American game. Xo Competition Remains. Even the Olympic Club of San Fran cisco at one time one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Rugby, de cided at a recent meeting to drop the English game and organize an eleven to play the American game. Because of the war there can exist no out side competition from either British Columbia or Australian teams. This leaves Stanford entirely without out side competition. All the southern colleges, as well as the athletic clubs, have made the change, and it looks as though Rugby was about to disappear from the United States after an eight-year trial. The extreme southern colleges University of Southern California. Pomona and Occidental all made the change last year, and declare that the student treasuries have gained by the substi tution of the American game. The general sentiment at Stanford for the past two years has been In favor of the "old game," and what little opposition this feeling has met has been voiced by those who have not seen the American game since 1909 and do not realize the new and greatly improved points of the sport. Rugby Xt Lew Dangerous. That Rugby is less dangerous than the standard game has been disproved, it is said, by the fact that' five fatali ties resulted from the small number of players who engaged in the game last year in California alone. That the financial department of the game will not suffer has been proved, it is held, by the small southern colleges and the various independent teams that have played the American game around San Francisco and Los Angeles during the past two years. Several years ago the Stanford fac ulty made the statement that Cardinal students would not play any game in which Interference was used. Rugby was then resorted to. Without chal lenging the statement that interference is the most dangerous department of the American game, its friends contend that there are many plays used in the English game that are more con ducive to injuries. American football as played mw. an open passing game. embraces all the good points of Rugby and omits many of its objectionable ones, they point out. It is the general belief that the Stanford faculty will reconsider and permit the student body to return to the standard game. So far there have been bo lamti scheduled, although the flying trip of Graduate Manager Bchrens through the Northwest was thought by many to be ror the purpose of establishing rela tions with the Oregon colleges and Washington State College. Bebrens denies this and says that he was only making negotiations with regard to the All-Coast track meet for next year. This statement is also backed up by Dr. Stew-art. of Oregon Agricultural College. The college year begins at Stanford the latter part of August, and it is probable that the student body and faculty will take this subject up at once and come to an understanding. A schedulo could then possibly be ar ranged with the northern institutions before the regular November season. Even If Stanford returns to the Amer ican game, it is doubtful If athletic relations will be resumed with the University of California for some time. as the Cardinal is firm In its idea to let freshmen play on varsity teams. This policy has always been adhered to and was Indirectly the cause of the strained relations and final break be tween the two big southern universi ties. WHITE SOX WATCIIIXG XESS Chicago lias First Claim on AH Oak land Players, Is Report. CHICAGO. July 24.

Topperwein Scores 119 Out of 120 and Adds 40 Straight to Total II. R. ETerding Is Elected "Big Chief." - BT EARL R. GOODWIN. Such trapshooting as was done at the sixteenth annual conclave of the Pa cific Indfans at Tacoma last week has not been duplicated in the Northwest for some time. High scores and long runs were recorded quite frequently during the four days because no class distinction was shown between the amateurs and professionals. As a result. Frank M. Troeh. of Vancouver, Wash., who won the high average for the three-day regular events among the amateurs, did not receive much cash for his efforts but he did win several handsome trophies and prizes. Evsry day It was necessary for Frank to shoot off once and maybe twice, and on each occasion it was with some big professional. On such attempts only once did he fall, and that was In 'the Chlngren medal match. He and Frank C. Riehl. a professional of Tacoma. were tied at 49 out of 60 at the conclusion of the contest and in the shoot-off the Vancouver man dropped one and Rlehl went straight. 73 Stralaht Broken at 21 Yards. Troh with his high average of 388 out of a possible 400 recorded the longest run of the meeting. He went 135 straight before he slipped and let one bluerock get by without smashing 1L His mcst remarkable performance of the week was his act of breaking 75 straight from the 21-yard mark, a handicap. of five yards over the regular distance. In 100 birds from the 21 yard line he broke all except three. Some of the trophies he won were the M. L. Davis cup. a set of silver spoons. Frank C. Hart trophy, carving set for Class A trophy, the H. It. Everdlng solid gold watch, and he tied for the Chlngren medal. He made high runs of 69. 69, 77, 83 and 136 during his stay In Tacoma. High average for the entire gather ing went to four professionals. Mrs. Adolph Topperweln, of San Antonio, Texas, Les H. Reld. of Seattle, Frank C. Rlehl, of Tacoma, and P. J. Holohan. of Portland, had completed the regular events with 388 out of a possible 400. The feat of Mrs. Topperweln was brought about by her making 119 out of 120 In the last day of competition In the regular match, and she added 40 birds to this total when she went straight In the special event of SO pigeons. Mrs. Topperweln CemJnar Here. Mrs. Topperweln and her husband will be guests of the Portland Gun Club at the Jenne Station grounds on September 1, and both will give several fancy exhibitions not only with the scatter gun but with the rifles and pistols as well. H. R. Everding. presi dent of the Portland Gun Club, has been making special efforts to have a large gallery present, as no charge will be made to those who desire to witness the affair. Coming back to the Pacific Indians shoot at Tacoma. after Troeh. second place for high average among the amateurs was tied between two mem bers of the Portland Gun Club. W. A. Hillts nd Abner Blair, while three nimrods were holding down the third position In the title. C. E. McKelvey, of Seattle, E. E. Ellis, of Manltou. Manitoba, and AI Rlehl. of Tacoma. broke 379 out of 400, just two points behind Blair and Hlllla. Hlah Rob Are Frrqarit While high runs of 50 or more were frequent during the week there were sevcrai "unfortunate" shooters who failed to break into the bupont High run trophy column. The most unluckly one of them all. without a doubt, was A. W. Strowger, vice-president of the Portland Gun Club. He broke 49 on three occasions and 48 twice before he made a miss. Charles Leith. of Woodburn, was among the leading amateurs. He made a run of 108 on Thursday and previous to this he made 76. 69 and 62. Abner Blair of Portland, was awarded the special trophy for the high run on the laxt day by making 107. The sixteenth annual gathering of the Pacific Indians wan one of the most successful ever hld by the organlza tion. Frank C. Riehl. herald of the club, made his reports, which showed all the boys In good standing. The 116 meeting will be held In Taroma again. ; ; ' , j f I I X t t'VV- f :' ' , U:v : ' :i P' H ,.1 !

Frank C. Rlehl. of Tacoma, was re-elected the herald-custodian. Mr. Riehl fostered the parent body of the Pacific Indians In the East more than 16 years ago. and ha has had a great deal to do with the success of the Western section. Many of the shooters who partici pated In the Tacoma conclave went to Chehalis. Wash., to enter the registered tournament at that place yesterday. Big Chief Everding was among thone who went to the Washington town but. he announced he would be back In Portland in time to go out to the Jenne Station grounds this morning.

Entries do not opn officially until the first of the month, but several toave sent In their names already. -The start this year will be made from the float at the Oreron Vacht Club and will end at the Kelloarc; Boat houie, near the foot of Salmon street, a distance of almost three miles. Throuah the courtesy of Commodore Bain, of the yacht club, and Mr. Kel loKr. a place for the swimmers to dress has been secured and everything; will be done to make the contestants as comfortable as possible. Besides those who have already an nounced their intentions to become en tered In the swim are Ed Shea and Allen Kuusell. of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, who put In their names last nlcht. Miss Gwynne Jane, a Junior of the Winded "11." Is the first woman to enter. A "safety first" movement Is on foot by Instructor Cody. Before an en trant will be accepted the swimmer must agree to have a canoe handy to follow him and give him assistance In case of need. If It can be agreed on by two swimmers to have one canoe follow both thia will be allowed, but only two will be watched by one canoe, according to Mr. Cody. Frank Harmar.

STANFORD LEFT OUT California Appears to Have Old Rival Blocked. NEVADA SWITCH SERIOUS Cardinal lias but One Real Rugby Game Left on Schedule, While Blue and Gold I Fortified to Continue Campaign. BT HARRY B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCO. CaL. July 14. It begins to look as If the University of California holds the winning; trick in the rair.e of cards the Blue and Gold has been playing: with Stanford. Ever since the two universities began to quarrel over the question of the fresh men eligibility rule in short, the ques tion of whether freshmen would be per mitted to compete in athletic events it has been apparent there would be a split. That split arrived, and then it was a case of each university's being out In the open for Itself. Stanford was apparently anxious to continue Rugby football, which is the main sport.- California said nothing; but sawed wood. Johnny Stroud went on a trip to Seattle and the double announcement came that California would return to American football and that Washington would be one of Its opponents. Nevada Deaerts Staaferd. The Cardinal men Immediately began to busy themselves and came forth with a statement that Ita principal Rugby, frames of the year would be againat the University of Nevada. California atraln began to saw wood, and only this week there came the declaration that Nevada has decided to forego Ita allegiance to Rugby and will return to American football. Uames have been scheduled against Callfornl and other matches are to be arranged. The situation is anything but en couraging- for the Stanford boys. They now have one college that they can play Santa Clara University. They also expect to have games with the Barbarians, a local club organized some years ago to promote Rugby, and with the Olympic Rugby team. But the Olympic Club will also have an American football team In the Held, and a i?piclon has been aroused that most of the Interest will attach to that style of football, particularly as the clubmen are partial to their own sport and always have been. Compraalae ?C4. Likely. There la nothing big In sight for the Stanford men. and It begins to look, this year at len.t- aa If they will have to play Inter-class ball for the most part. If they are to' play at all. They might desert Rugby for the Intercolle giate and arrange connections of their own. but that la hardly likely to be done, as It would look like a compro mise and a bid for California patron age. One bit of gossip has It that David Starr Jordan wants to make Stanford University one of the really Mg uni versities of the country: that to en courage research work he would be pleased to see the Cardinal Institution drop the freshmen and sophomores and take only such students aa have been well advanced In their work. Another story Is to the effect that the Stanford faculty seems to feel the athletic end of college takes too much of the students' time and that It would be a wise scheme to abandon as far as possible Intercollegiate relations. For that reason. It has been hinted, the faculty is Just as well pleased to learn of the dispute between the two stu dent bodies. Many, however, argue tliat sooner or later California, snd Stanford will be forced once more to meet on a basis of equality so far aa sports are concerned.
