Portland's puck chasers, who are
leading- .the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey
Association, are due to arrive from
Victoria. B. C. this morning-, after a
two-game road trip in Canada. The
Uncle Sams broke even, losing the first
to Vancouver 4 to 1, and coming back
with a 3-to-l victory at Victoria Friday
night.
The next big attraction In the Port
land Ice Hippodrome is a return en
gagement between Victoria and Port
land next Tuesday night. So far dur
ing the 191 campaign the Portlanders
have maintained a stellar defense: in
fact, the records to date give the Uncle
Sams first honors- The Oregonlans are
but two goals behind" Victoria for the
heaviest scoring machine In the circuit.
Manager Savage telegraphed to As
sistant Manager Keller, of the Portland
Ice Hippodrome, that his proteges were
somewhat under the weather when they
met. the Stanley cup holders Tuesday
night. Four of them were ill. but man
aged to start the contest. After a
three days" rest they got started again,
and trimmed Victoria in a sensational
match Friday night. The Uncle Sams
may take a light workout this after
noon or tomorrow morning.
The game Tuesday night will start
promptly at 8:30 o'clock.
In a clever article entitled "The
"Skating Nut " In the New York Tele
gram recently. J. P. S. ("Skipper") said
In his first two paragraphs: "The base
ball nut is bad enough. The football
nut is worse. But the nuttiest nut of
them all, the real squirrel food, is the
skating nut.
"The skating nut Is of both sexes.
He or she is found among those who
can skate, who think they can skate,
who would like to skate, who are learn
ing to skate, and who are teaching
others to skate."
According to statistics for the first
half of the 1915-1 S season, compiled by
Barney Goes, of Vancouver, B. C Port
land has recorded 13 goals against Vic
toria while the Aristocrats have been
able to sag the net but seven times
while Tommy Murray was guarding.
So far the Uncle Sams have won three
games at home and the same number
away, while two defeats have been
suffered on foreign soil and but one
setback has been handed the locals in
the Portland Ice Hippodrome. The
traveling victories record does not in
clude the 3-to-l verdict over Victoria
Friday night.
But five more ice hockey games of
the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Associa
tion are listed for the Portland Ice
Hippodrome during the present cam
paign. Victoria will appear before the
I'ortland followers on two more Occa
sions. Seattle twice and the Vancouver
world's champions but once.
Victoria meets the Uncle Sams Tues
day night, and February 18. while
Seattle is billed to appear on Tuesday
of. next week and February 25. The
Stanley cup holders will make their
last stand against the present league
leaders in the Portland Ice Hippodrome
on February 8. The Seattle-Portland
game of February 23 ends the 1915-16
schedule of the league. On that night
Vancouver meets Victoria on the Aris
tocrats' ice. -

Victoria here Tuesday. Vancouver will

SHOOT HOPEIS RENEWED
RECOXSIDERATIOX BV INTERSTATE
ASSOCIATION' REPORT.
Possibility of Two Bis; Events Being
Held la Portland la 191 Is
Welcomed by Club.
Members of the Portland Gun Club
have heard that the Interstate Asso
ciation had reconsidered the matter of
awarding the Pacific Coast handicap
for the 1S1 season.
The Pacific Coast handicap is the
blue-ribbon trapshooting event west of
he Rocky Mountains, but because of
the showing made by the Southern Cal
ifornia gun clubs at the 1915 affair it
was thought better to drop it for one
year.
H. R. Everdlng. former president of
the Portland Gun Club, has been In
communication with Flmer E. Shaner.
manager of the Interstate Association
at Pittsburg, for some time, when it
was learned that the Pacific" Coast
handicap would not be put on this year.
The Portland Gun Club put in a bid
for the tournament.
With the Pacific Coast handicap be
inir contested at the Jenne station
grounds of the Portland Gun Club, two
big tourneys of the season are oinea
fur Portland. The annual meeting and
shoot of the Northwest Sportsmen's
Association has been awarded Portland.
Because of the heavy snow since the
first of the year the newly elected otn
cers of the Portland Gun Club have
been unable to make their appearance
at the traps. President Strowger, vice
president H. A. Pollock and Secretary-
Treasurer Frank Templeton have sig
nified their intentions of being on hand
to break a few bluerocks this morning.

Offside' Play, Fouls, Neutral
Zone, Duties of Goal Ten
ders, Etc., Outlined.
ICE MARKINGS EXPLAINED
Use of Forward Pass Employed
Only on Coast and Restrictions
Surround This New Rule.
Penalties Made Clear.
BY JAMES H. RILANCE,
Judge of play in Pacific Coast Hockey
League games in Forjtiana
SSinee the beginning of the present
ice hockey season I have been asked
after each game by numerous fans and
hocky enthusiasts many questions per
taining to the different rules, and
through the courtesy of The oregonian
I am going to explain and demonstrate
them.
On entering the Portland Ice Hippo
drome the spectators will first notice
a large sheet of ice with two common
ly called baskets, but properly named
goal nets, one at each end. These goal
nets are six feet wide and four feet
high and are placed 10 feet from each
end, in the center of the Ice.
Next they will notice the sheet of ice
marked off Jn sections by distinct blue
lines. From goal to goal the distance
is 210 feet, divided into three 70-foot
spaces. The 70-foot space in the cen
ter is neutral ice and no player is off
side la this section. By being offside
Is meant no niaver can be ahead of the
puck or be between the puck and his
opponent s goal.
Neutral Ice Provision Rule.
The neutral ice section is a hew rule
in hockey and is only used in the Pa
cific Coast Hockey League. It has
made the game much faster and gives
speedy and clever players a chance to
use the famous forward pass, which is
a player passing the puck ahead to his
teammate, thus enabling him to get
away much faster. A player accepting
a forward pass must do so before the
puck passes over the blue line.
If the -puck is passed up the ice In
neutral section, hits the boards inside
the blue lines, careening out in the re
stricted section, any offensive player
can take it and be on side providing
he has not crossed the blue line ahead
of the puck.
The only forward pass that can be
used in the two end 70-foot sections
is from the goal tender, who may pass
the puck forward to one of his team'
mates, providing it does not pass over
the first blue line. The goal Keeper
cannot lie down in the goal, carry or
throw the puck, and must always clear
with his stick.
The blue lines drawn around the ice
parallel to the boards 10 feet out have
only one purpose. In this section no
player can body check his opponent
into the boards, but can body check
him into the center of the Ice.
Foals Are of Various Kinds.
Now I will take up the question of
fouls.
There are numerous major fouls,
such as tripping, hitting the player
deliberately, hooking, throwing the
stick to stop an opponent, body check
ing into the fence, loafing offside,
kicking or spiking, checking or inter
fering with an opponent when hasn't
the puck. The player responsible for
any of these fouls may be penalized by
the referee from three to ten minutes
or for the remainder of the game.
Minor fouls, such as kicking the puck,
carrying it with the hands or body, are
called and the puck refaced where the
offense was made.
When a player is knocked, out or is
disabled the play goes on until the
puck changes possession, then the ref
eree stops the play. The reason for
this is not to spoil the chance of the
team of scoring which has possession
of the puck. If the play were to be
stopped the instant the player is dis
abled, it would be easy for a . player
to lie down any time he saw there
was danger of his opponent's scoring.
To avoid any arguments this rule was
passed.
The time taken to play a regulation
game is 60 minutes of actual play, di
vided into three 20-minute periods,
with 10 minutes' rest between each
period. In case of a tie at the end of
the 60 minutes of actual play, the
game ia continued after a brief res!
and the team scoring the first point
thus determines the winner.
