SEA TRIP, EFFECT FEARED
Harry Cole, in Discus, Chester Fee,
in Javelin, and Sam BeUah, in
Pole Vault, Only Ones Ex
pected to Cinch Events.
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

CIIESTfclt FEE, AT LEFT, AND COACH BILL HAYWARD.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

this afternoon in the City Lrague dou
ble header at Recreation I'ark. The
preliminary content will be staged by
Piedmont and West Side at 1:30.
First place hinges on the result of
the meeting of the Sellwoodn and tho
Redmen. while the winner of the firrt
fracas will be tied with the loser of
the second game for second pl.icc.
Manager Wayne Lewis, of the Sell
wood crew, has signed a new twlrler
who will get his first chance this af
ternoon In City League uniform
against tbe hard-hitting Reds. Jack
Randall also haa a fit team to battle
for the lea cue leadership as waa shown
last Sunday when It trounced the
Monarch!. The Monarchs were In bad
shape for the game as several regu
lars were out of the lineup and Presi
dent Rupert was away.
"Yeast, who Is the pride of Monta
vllla and pitched for that teiim before
belnu signed by the MnchH. Is not a
buher by any means." said Lrwis yes
terday. "I understand tlint he was of
fered a berth with the Lincoln club of
the Western League five years ago
when he was but 15 years oi l How
ever, his parents objected anil he was
advised lo wait a while. Last Spring
he was offered a chance in the Vic
toria club's Spring camp but turned
It down also.

"He has won every gam he par
ticipated In this season with the ex
ception of the one against Fellwood
on July 4. MaRtc is not a strikeout
pitcher but a heady speed marvel with
wonderful control."
Lewis says that before the season
has ended Yeast will be the sensation
of the league and will outclnsa all the
other twlrlers now doing service in tho
circuit.
On the mound for the. Redmen op
posing Yeast will he Alex ronaldson.
who has won his first two games for
the Esst Slders from Piedmont and
West Side. Donaldson has considerable
stuff but Is a bit wild on occasion.
He has been twirling g-ood ball of late
nd should hold his own against the
new "phenom" Lewis has to oppose
him.

other half of the Red battery. whl

been working out together each even
