THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER IO, 1915. OREGGNHAS PLANTO MODIFY ATHLETICS first Step to Control All Inter collegiate Contests Is Be lieved Under Way. BAR IS UP FOR FRESHMEN Faculty Committee Hard at Work Behind Closed Doors, Drawing t'p Modifications to Regu late Athletic Activity. BY LEO J. MALAHKET. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Oct. 9. (Special.) What is thought to be the first definite step in the modi fication of intercollegiate athletics is under way on the varsity campus. The Oregon faculty has sanctioned the development or a regular freshman football team and the organization of such Is now a reality. Games scheduled for the "frosh" have as yet not assumed any firm dates, but there is every rea son to believe that the Oregon Aggies, Albany College and The Dalles High Echool will appear on the playing roster of the Oregon '19 class. According to faculty ruling there is to be only one game played away from Eugene by the freshmen, and that one will be confined to Coach Peavy's "rooks" at Corvallis. Plans now are to compete in two contests, one in Eu gene and the other in Corvallis. Freshmen Barred, With Exceptions. Freshmen trying out for the Oregon eleven are barred from participating with the men of the varsity squad un less they are deemed physically fit by Athletic Director Hayward or Head Coach Bezdek. To date, regular mem bers of the "green" aspirants have numbered as high as 18. and the big feature of the whole affair is that scarcely a one of them has had previ ous football experience or has been a tar in their respective high schools. Coach Bezdek said: "The whipping together of a freshmen team is a big factor in football. It has its good points, inasmuch as it will teach men the game who haven't had previous ex perience and it will enable them to compete against teams of their 'own weight and class. "This lessens the chances of injury and opens the athletic field to a score of youngsters who would never be per mitted to don a football uniform if they were intending to turn out for varsity scrimmages." Average Frenhmaa Is Not Kit. Statistics have proved that the aver age freshman entering the university or college is not physiSally fit to undergo the rigors of a varsity foot ball season. Most boys at that age are in the process of physical development, to which big-league ball on the grid iron would be a detriment rather than a help; consequently a year on a class eleven is considered the right thing for the growing youth rather than the bruises of a varsity campaign. Of course the argument protesting . against a freshman rule, in which the smallness of the Western colleges' student bodies is always advanced as a trump card is usually made. It seems that a freshman rule ob served by all conference colleges would be favorable, even if the student regis tration is not quite equal. Plan Is to Instill Class Pride. Rumored plans are to instill a spirit of class pride into the various scholas tic organizations and at the same time appoint managers for the varied classes who will call meetings and demand an election of captains of the class teams. A committee of seven faculty mem bers has been at work behind closed doors each afternoon of the past week drawing up modifications and plans for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics at the State University. Data has been collected from every source and the problem has received a thor ough investigation to date. Unlooked for calls to other cities where members of the committee are performing extension-school duties caused a post ponement in the presentation of col lected facts until Monday.

Harry Vardon has a few words to say to the middle-aged or elderly individual who is about to take up the game of golf that smack of wisdom. He says: "He should abstain altogether from contesting matches for two or three months. Instead of en gaging his rounds he should de vote his spare hours entirely to learning, the true golf swing. If he adopts this measure there is no reason why he should not lay the foundation for a scratch form. By no other means can he hope to become a really good player." 23-18. 7-10, 15-6. 2-9. 18-15, 16-19. 15-10, 19-23. Drawn. E 16-19. 23-16. 12-19. 15-10. 19-23, 22-17. 23- 26, 17-13. Drawn.

INTEREST DIES IN BATTLING NELSON Public Cares Not When He Offers Free Show and Dane Is Petulant. DAYS OF OLD FORGOTTEN Jim Coffroth's Luck Seems to Be Gone He Fails as Politician and at Fair Willie Ritchie Expects Busy Winter. BT HAr.P.T B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 9. (Special.) The ups and downs of the boxing game the story of "The King Is Dead. Long Live the King" are nowhere bet ter exemplified than In the case of Bat tling Nelson. The Durable Dane once had a name to conjure with. He was admittedly the best drawing card in the ranks of pugilists, and his presence In San Francisco meant columns of news paper space. Indeed, the Battler was pursued by the sporting writers, and I can remember, once upon a time, when Billy Nolan wanted to favor a news paper man, that Nelson was brought secretly to the city to permit of a scoop, as It is called in the technique of the business. That was when Nelson was at the top of the ladder, or mighty close to the top. Now' it Is different, and Nelson, sim ple soul that he is, can't understand the whys and' the wherefores. Nelson Misses Publicity. When he came to San Francisco, a few weeks ago, he secured a theatrical engagement, but it was on the out skirts of the village, so to speak. In stead of being at one of the downtown houses Nelson found himself lodged way out on Fillmore street. Just after the fire Fillmore street was some street. Now it's not so much, and the sporting fraternity rarely gets out that way. Also Nelson found it difficult to se cure the publicity for which he yearns. He called upon the newspaper men time and again with his announcements of this or that, but the space has been de cidedly small that has been alloted to his life's happenings. This week, his theatrical stunt over. Nelson moved out to Joe Millett's old training camp in Colma with the avowed intention of doing some light training for a match that he has com ing in Kansas City. He declared his intention of boxing every afternoon and invited the public to see him work. Crowds Show No Interest. But the crowds have not been thick and the Battler is pained. First of ail. the death of the boxing gane in this section has killed inter est in the fistic events in other sec tions of the country. You don't hear people gossiping about this fighter or that one. That in itself hurts the Dane. Then he has been so long considered out of the running that people do not turn to him any longer. In the par lance of the ring. Nelson is a "dead one." and even the opportunity of a free show to see him box in public doesn't attract. He is a has-been. Just when Nelson is going to realize the bald fact that he is no longer eli gible to the ring is hard to say. I have an idea that it is coming to him grad ually. The other day he said some thing about wanting a quiet room dur ing training for a match, as any little noise is apt to disturb his. slumbers. Also, after a forenoon's walk on the road, he admitted that he didn't have the same zip to his work as was once the case. Sooner or later all these things are going to pile up and he will determine once for all to quit. There was never a boxer with a big ger heart than this Nelson, and, while he has his faults, of course, he has a number of admirable qualities. Be cause of these finer traits it seems a pity that he should insist upon staying by a game that has no further use for him. Coffroth's Luck Fades. It used to be "Lucky" Jim Coffroth Sunshine Jim as he was known a few montns ago in the boxing game. It was nis proud Doast that there was rarely a fight that had to be called off on account of bad weather. His chief stunt was holding open-air battles, and there is no question but that the fates were Kind to nim. In other channels, however, the good luiiH. boo. seems to nave deserted him, i-oiirotn, as fean Francisco people .now, nas lor some months past turned his attention to politics. He tried to put Gus Hartman, a well known local character, across as a State Senator. Now Gus had, formerly represented aan r rancisco in the Se ate but he cduldn't repeat. This time Coffroth picked on Blllv McCarthy, a boon companion, and one of the City Supervisors, as the man to run for Assessor of San Francisco County. McCarthy had originally been put forward as the candidate of the Indoor lacht Club, the Coffroth or ganization, for Supervisor, and he poiiea tne top vote a couple of years ago He is so popular with the powers that he thought he stood a great chance lor the Assessorship, doubtless look ing ahead to the Mayoralty in four years from now. cut it was not to De. McCarthy was fairly snowed under in the primary, and while he qualified to run against his opponent, Ginty. who is the in cumbent, McCarthy came out with a statement declining the issue, explain ing that has he had been fairly beaten he did not care to prolong the contest. Gambling; Concessions Halted. That was not the only blow to Cof froth. With some associates. Sunshine Jim reopened this establishment on the exposition zone. Gambling was per mitted with the proviso that scrip must be accepted by winners, this scrip be ing redeemable by certain of the mer chants in San Francisco. Faro bank craps, roulette and other games were allowed and the camp was doing a flourishing business until there came newspaper agitation against any thing of that sort. It resulted in the gambling being barred, which of course put end to the festivities. Willie Ritchie, who boxed Johnny Dundee in New York the other night, writes from New York City that he expects to have a busy Winter. He received a $3500 guarantee for the Dundee match and is to receive a sim ilar guarantee to take on Young Shu grue the latter part of October. Also. so he says, he is negotiating with the Milwaukee people to box Charlie White in the Wisconsin- metropolis. Ritchie has located at Brighton Beach and proposes to make that Sum mer resort his headquarters as long as he remains in the far East. It is with in 40 minutes' run of the t-ig city and gives him the accommodations that he wants in the way of training. Being a restless sort of chap, he is always better off away from the center of any large city. Kid LiTigae Dovrn and Ont. Kid Lavigne, even yet reckoned the greatest of all the lightweights, is In .bard strtiu. In. fels day, Lavigne- waa fighter, not a business man. and the money didn't stick to his fingers. Now he has written to friends in New York City, asking them if it would be possi- Dievto arrange a benefit for him and reminding them that he needs money. unquestionably Lavigne was a great fighter and a man who was always out to win. He didn't quibble over a few pounds when it came to signing up for a match, and' his remarkable fight with Joe Walcott. In which he was beaten down In the early rounds, only to win on piucK and endurance, will always be remembered not alone by those who saw the fight but others who have read about it. New York would do well to give Lavigne the favor that he asks. ir tnere had been more of his type of boxers in the game, the snort mleht have lasted better than has been the case. Heard on the Links MORS than 100 real estate men re cently turned out at a golf tourn ament in New York given in their honor. A majority of the men were good players while all had a smatter ing of the game. That golf is booming there is little doubt. Seattle is making arrangements to build another municipal ..links. New York is plotted with courses controlled by the city, while Chicago now has six. Most large cities in this country are falling in line. Local enthusiasts are doing much talking, but the pres ent condition of the city treasury gives little hope of a public course here for some time. From out of the heated confines of Tucson, Ariz., comes a story of a won derful Invention the jumping Mexi can golf ball. The ball is so constructed that when t gets into the shade of long grass. or sinks Into casual or other water, it immediately begins to Jump, and it jumps so'high that it clears the water or grass and is plainly visible to the searcher. The Mexican jumping bean forms the core, together with a. little grub worm. Now these worms dislike shade. and as soon as a ball goes into a shady place, such as high grass or water, the worm begins to flap its tail. In flapping it naturally will hit the jumping bean, which upon being flapped. Immediately begins to jump. The new invention is expected to prove a great boon to golfers who have a faculty of driving wild and sending their ball into dark, damp places. In fact, if the United States Golf Association doesn't legislate against the jumping ball, the professionals may be minus a good many pupils. A "slice" or a "pull" will not be a handi cap to the man who uses the bean cored sphere. But then, the Tucson "dreamer" has not told how he expects to preserve life in the grub worm. Neither have we been Informed how he expects the bean to preserve its jumping proclivities all the while the ball is being hammered by a Jesse Guilford. Indeed, it seems probable that the bean would lose all its "pep" before it was spurred on by the grub worm. There are a number of points that the Tucson man must explain before we will place an order for a gross of the jumping Mexican golf balls. - Here's a life-saving shot that ought to be rewarded with a Carnegie medat From psychological and shot-makina viewpoints it is the best of the year. Playing in a 72-hole best ball match, Harold Fisher and Fred Bell, the Denver professional, were being given a hard finish by Carroll Brown and Professional Walter Clark. Fisher and Bell were four up when play started in the last half of the match at the Lakewood course and at the C4th hole they were all square. The last 18 holes were played at the Denver Country Club, and it was a see-saw af fair. The match was square .at the 69th hole, but Fisher and Bell dropped the 70th. They won the next. At the final hole Bell's second shot crossed the green and went into a flowerbed. He pitched out, and, to the surprise of the big gallery, his ball made a billiard from a tent pole to the corner post of the tennis court and caromed to the edge of the green. He holed for a four and won the hole and the match. Which would you rather? Lose youi right-handed clubs to a left-handed player or win his bagful of left handed clubs? The challenging party was composed of the Premier of Manitoba and a friend, and the challenged were a Seattle man and a big Canadian rail road builder. The challengers were both left-handed players, and the chal lenged played from the starboard side. It was really a diabolical plot for, as must appear, the winners would have absolutely no use in the world for the losers' clubs except to "flaunt them in the face of the losers from time to time: while, on the other hand, to the losers it meant a fright ful loss. And Schoenfeld and his companion, the right-handed players, lost at the 18th hole. Buy them back? Not a chance. Not for their weight in gold would the winners have sold the clubs back to the men who had lost them in this fair, above-board fight. Instead, the winners purchased ribbons, bedecked them and caused them to be suspended about the lobby of the hotel and the clubhouse, where all could look and grin at the discomfiture of the losers. It was five days before Schoenfeld and his partner refilled their bags with satisfactory clubs. Incidentally, it is surprising that there are so few left-handed golfers, compared with the number who swing their clubs right-handed. In baseball, at least in the big leagues, it appears that the portside clubbers are getting all the laurels for batting. But in golf, right-handers nearly always win. It appears that a left-handed golfer seldom learns to control the ball as does the player who swings with the right hand lowest on the club. Dedicate! to the Duffer. This is the substance of our plot For those who play the perfect shot. There are ten thousand who do not. For each who comes to growl and whine Because one putt broke out of line And left him but a sixty-nine. At least ten thousand on the slate Rise up and cheer their blessed fate Because they sot a ninety-eight. Yet splashers in the wayside brook. To you -who foozle, slice, and hook. We dedicate this little book. So runs the dedication to a book published September 15, by Jerome D. Travers. "The Winning Shot," it Is called. ... That H. Chandler Egan has not been forgotten in the East despite the fact that he has not journeyed east ward to participate in any event is shown in a clipping from the New York Sun, as follows: H.

DUCK HUNTERS HAVE NO GREAT SUCCESS Nearly All of Grounds About ' Portland Are Included in Private Preserves. , LACK OF WATER IS FELT Chinese Pheasants Already Wary of Gunmen Tunlatin Valley and Wilsonrille Report Shooting Ciood. BT EDWARD RILL. But little success is being enjoyed by duck hunters so far this season. The cry heard from the ranks of sports men who take delight in hunting these water fowl. Is for more rain. It will take a considerable amount of rainfall to bring the ducks out, as the duck lakes in the neighborhood of Portland are far from full. In many cases gas engines have been used to pump water from the sloughs into private lakes but just the same a good rainfall is needed to make hunting good. Many requests have been received asking about duck hunting near Port land. The queries are from hunters new to the city, and who are in most cases not familiar with the situation here. Nearly All Crouds Private. "Where can we hunt ducks without trespassing on some private preserve?" is the cry. The answer is: "It can't be done." Practically every available place within a radius of 20 miles of Portland and in fact every place where duck hunting can be enjoyed with any suc cess whatever has been gobbled up. The only way to get ducks in the im mediate neighborhood of the city is to make application for membership to some club that has the rights to a lake duritrg the duck season. The Columbia Slough district always has been a good place to hunt duck and it is within a very short distance of town but every square foot of the country is controlled by some duck hunting club. . The Tillamook country offers a chance for the hunter who is not a member of any club, but it Is a long way from Portland when a hunter has but little time to spare. Weather Brings Hunters Hope. The condition of the weather gave hope to the duck hunters yesterday and they are pulling for a wet spell. A few days' rain would do a world of good and give many sportsmen full game bags. While the duck hunters are praying for rain, however, the pheasant hunters are anxious f'jr good weather. With the opening v eek no.tr past and gone, the hunters are settling themselves down for a few more trips before the close of the season on the last day of the month. The toothsome Chinks already have become wary of hunters and even in the best districts little success was re ported during the latter part of the week where the hunters had no dog. Pheasant Shooting Re-ported Goad. Reports from the Tualatin Valley in dicate that pheasant shooting is good in that part of the state. A party came in yesterday from Wilsonville with the limit and another from Sher wood brought a goodly number. Both of these towns are only a short ride on the Southern Pacific from the sta tion at the foot of Jefferson street, and are the mecca of a large surround ing district. There are also some pheasants to be had in the district beyond Milwaukle. the most of them, however, are all within the city limits of the town. Clackamas Station also sends reports that there are birds in that neighbor hood. Both of these towns are on the Oregon City. line. M'Mlim vllle Reports Good. A trip to McMinnville on the Oregon Electric line should reward the sports men, as many favorable reports have been received from hunters who bag ged the limit in the surrounding coun try. Cars leave for McMinnville over the Fourth-street road. A stop for passengers is made at Fourth and Yamhill streets. On a different branch of the same line is Beaverton and Hlllsboro. from which many hunters return with full bags. The farmers In the neighbor hood .f Hlllsboro have been particular ly obliging to hunters. It always world be a good Idea, however, to obtain permission from the owner of the land upon which one In tends to hunt. This will not cause any trouble to arise should the farmer prove hostile and want to have the trespass law eniorced. Rose City Park Trip Likely One. For the hunters who have but a few hours to hunt a trip out to the end or tne rtose iity canine might prove iruitiui. aitnougn one would have to be careful not to trespass on any of the numerous duck preserves that dot that territory. A jaunt on the other side of Linnton might also give the hunter a couple of shots, as several Portlanders have sagged pheasants in that neighborhood In the early morning and been back In town in time for luncheon. There are a few pheasants on Gov ernment Island up the Columbia. short distance from Vancouver, Wash., but this spot is a veritable nest of duck preserves. Big Black Bear Shot In Orchard. E. H. Lindsey. a farmer residing on the Nehalem road a short distance out of Nehalem, shot a big black bear in his orchard one day last week. Early in tne morning two Dears were seen bothering a pile of apples that had been stacked under a tree. The farmet Drougnt down tne largest of the two. out tne otner maae its getaway. J. C Morris and C. J. Spooner bagged eight pheasants last week near Mc Minnville. fcpooner also went out Wednesday and got some birds. Walter Backus returned yesterday from a business trip to Nehalenv He found time to do a little fishing on the jaunt. Two to Start on Deer Hunt. Mr. Spooner and H. Simington will leave today for a week's deer hunt in Crook County, after which they will pass another week salmon fishing on tne uescnutes. Air. Morris ana a. c. ergniurr are going up the .Tualatin Valley after pheasants today. Walter Honey man. E. J. Wallace and Fish Warden K.elly will visit the f sh ladder at Oregon City today.
