Columbia University Cancels
1916 Indoor Event Because
of Loss of Big Arena.
BUILDING FELLED BY STORM
Engineer Condemn Structure and
Declare Repairs This Season to
Bo Impossible Stars Already
Kntered in Events.
BV KARL It. GOODWIN.
Track and field athletics of the Pa
clflc Northwest received a hard Jolt
yesterday, when it was announced that
the 13th annual indoor track and field
meet of the Columbia University must
ba called off for the 1916 season.
The huge coliseum which has housed
some of the greatest athletes in the
country and witnessed the establishing
of several world's records is no more.
The recent anow storm waa too much
tor the roof of the structure to with
stand and part of It caved in. The
arches ate beginning to Bag now and
one side of the building was blown
oown last week.
Engineers sent out to examine the
extent of the damage done condemned
the building- and declared that In any
event it would be Impossible to repair
the coliseum In time for the annual
Portland classic, and the best thing to
do was to tear It down completely.
Definite Date Not Selected.
No definite date had been selected
for the 1916 championships, but it was
being considered for April 15. the third
Saturday of the month. Yast year
under the direction of Jamcj H. Bach
12 athletes from 21 different institu
tions of the Northwest were entered,
making It the greatest athletic event
of ita kind west of the Mississippi
Itiver.
Already the various athletes had
been planning on competing in the
Columbia University coliseum again,
and it was with regret that announce
ments to the effect that the games
would have to be called off were sent
broadcast yesterday.
Athletes af Xote Kntered.
Among the many noted athletes to
compete In the annual meet were Dan
Kelly. Forrest C. Smlthson and Sam
Uellan. each with a world's record at
tached to his athletic endeavors; Vera
Windnagle. present captain of the Cor
nell University cross-country team; Ol
iver Houston, Gordon Moorcs, Lee Rey
nolds, VMoose" I'ayne. Uuy Hobgood.
H. McKlnney, Sam Cook. "Red" Wal

"Moose" Muirhead, Raymond Staub,
Dick Grant, Klrkland. Edward Spring

I'aul Wilaon. Bob Krohn, Johnnie Ba
ker, Crlckmore. Hank Myers. Walter
Hummel. Ora Holdman. Bert Kerrigan
and a host of other college, club and
academic entrtee.
It was only last April that Sam Bel
lah, while wearing the colors of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club,
broke the world's indoor pole vault
record by doin 12 feet 1H Inches In
the coliseum. He later went to the
National track and field championship
at San Francisco and came out the Na
tional champion in his favorite event.
Kelly Ilolda Tn K rear da. .
Dan Kelly. Internationally known for
his 100-yard world'a records, still hangs
onto the 220-yard and broad jump rec
ords at the Columbia University games.
while Forrest Smlthson, holder of the
110-meter world'r record established st
the Olympic games In 1908. is down for
the fA-yard dash, 60-yard high and low
hurdle events at the coliseum.
Now that it has been made known
officially that there will be no 1916
games on the Portland Indoor track,
considerable Interest automatically will
be attracted to the Far-Western Indoor
track and field titles to be staged un
der the aurplces of the Oregon Agri
cultursl College at Corvallis April 1.
Some of the greatest athletes of the
day. including Howard Drew and Fred
Kelly, of the University of Southern
California, have sent word north that
they Intend to be on hand to greet the I
starter's gun.
Following are the open and academic
records made in the coliseum of the
Columbia University since the organ

permit. The squad already has been

Referee Awards Collegians Tyins
Point Just Before Close, but
Clubmen Snatch Victory by
Thrilling Field Basket.
The largest crowd in the history ot
basketball in Portland witnessed the
sensational 21 to 19 victory of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
quintet over the Whitman College five
of Walla Walla, Wash., in the Winged
"II" gymnasium last night. More-than
800 crowded into the enclosure.
Up to within the last five seconds
of play the score stood 19 to 19 and
but for a thrilling basket from the
field by Lawrence Edwards the game
would have gone Into extra lime.
Multnomah Club was leading 19 to IS
until the last minute when Captain
Toomey called for "time out" his fourth
of the fray.
A player is allowed but three "time
outs" during: a game and when the
fourth one was called Referee Homer
Jamison tied the score by awarding
the visitors one point. Then came th
sensational basket by Edwards which
won the match.
The score at the end of th first
period stood 10 to 8 in favor of the
Portlanders. The Oregonians threw
eight field baskets to seven for the
Whitman athletes. High point getter
of the evening went to Dement with
eight markers, while Edwards and
Captain Toomey each registered three
fieldl baskets for the clubmen.
Every member of the winning quin
tet made at least one field basket with
the exception of Clayton Sharp, while
Captain Baker, of Walla Walla, was
the only one on the opposition who
did not make a field basket.
At the conclusion of the game a ,
dance was held which attracted most
of the spectators. Willamette Uni
versity will send its team to the Mult
nomah Club gymnasium next Saturday
night.
Following are the lineupus:

AGGIES EASILY DEFEAT IDAHO
5Iix Is Star of Game, Hard Fought
at First, Walkaway at Close.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Feb. 12. (Special.) The ease
with which Ira Mix, Oregon Aggie cen
ter, eluded the giant Martenson, of
Idaho to throw 10 baskets was largely
responsible for the lop-sided score of
35 to 14 by which the Aggie tossers
tonight defeated the University of .
Idaho quintet. The tall center hung up
a conference record for this season on
goals from the floor.
The game was closely fought in the
early part of the first half, both teams
doing some fast and accurate passing,
and at the end Stewart's men led 12
to 7. The last period was a walk-over
for Stewarts' men. Mix scoring six bas
kets in this half. The game was fast
and clean.
Idaho passed well throughout the
game, but her fast forwards could not
break through the stone-wall defense
presented by the O. A. C. tossers.
Aside from Mix, the Orange and
black headliners were again Seiberts
and Ray. Low, a freshmen, went In
for a part of the last half and played
well, getting two baskets. Kinnison
and Gray did the best work for Idaho.
Stellinger shot a sensational basket.
