SHORTAGE NOW IS MARKED
In Belief of Dick Carlon, State
Should Tuke Immediate Action.
Dr. Sternberg Finds Tuber

' BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Importation of new male stock from
China, and the closing of the Chinese
pheasant open season for two years,
will solve the Shanghai shortage prob
lem just now bothering the sportsmen
of Oregon, in the opinion of Dick Car
lon. one of the best-known hunters of
the state.
"I believe that the State Game and
Fish Commission should adopt both
courses,' said Mr. Carlon the other day
upon his return from a hunting trip in
the Independence and Corvallis sec
tion. "The birds are becoming more
scarce every Fall, and the lid should
be clamped on for a. couple of years. I
believe that the majority of sportsmen
would welcome this procedure.
"Pheasants, too, are becoming smaller
each succeeding year, due undoubtedly
to the crossing of strains. The state
should ship in about 2500 new cocks
from China. The state has about 1500
new birds at the game farm, ready for
release, I am told, but even with these
there will be a shortage of birds next
year. I am glad the Commission took
prompt action in closing the pheasant
season this Fall on October 15, for
that will help a little."
Mr. Carlon and Russell Smith found
birds quite plentiful on the John Wil
liamson ranch east of Corvallis. This
was due, in some measure, to a deci
sion by Benton County sportsmen not
to hunt pheasants this year at all. On
the Joe Smith ranch northwest of Cor
vallis birds were scarce.
Closer to Portland pheasants were
extremely hard to find, report the vast
majority of hunters. A number of par
ties returned after a Sard day's work
without a bird in the basket.
Dr. J. D. Sternberg and Dr. J. H.
Montgomery hunted near Albany and
found birds almost as rare as radium.
"The law prohibiting the shooting of
more than one hen to four cocks is all
wrong," said Dr. Sternberg upon his
return. "Nearly every party that goes
out in the fields kills two or three, hens
by mistake, but the boys keep pegging
away at the birds until they get the
stipulated four cocks. The extra hens
are either thrown away or else given
to some friendly farmer or concealed
in the automobile.
"If the law said merely five birds,
the hunters would stop at five birds
and there would be fewer killed. Although-
nobody likes to admit killing
more hens than the law allows, I be
lieve every sportsman will agree with
me. deep down in his heart. It Is ex
tremely difficult to tell the males from
the hens, particularly when young, and
as one has to decide almost instan
taneously, it is not surprising that
many mistakes are made." .

Ad Wolgast, ex-lightweight cham

tonight's boxing- smoker at Dreamland,
but to a young" Seattle boy, whose name
has never been mentioned in record
books, went the honors. Chester Neff,
a Seattle youngster, kept several thou

the world-famous "Michigan wildcat"
oft his feet in four busy rounds of the
Austin & Salt main event.
Referee Adolph Schacht called the
contest a draw, but the ex-champion
was glad to get back to his corner at
the end of the four-round session.
With a discourteous regard for the
reputation of the visitor, Neff started
after the ex-titleholder at the first ring
of the gong and kept right after him
until Referee Schacht separated them
at the finish. Wolgast fought in his
usual crouch, keeping his face well pro
tected with his arm, but the little local
battler peppered away at the Michigan
man's face with such good results that
Wolgast had to fight to keep from get

If plans go right there will be a
major league ball club training In Cali
fornia next Spring, with a limited num

visiting big leaguers. San Francisco,
Los Angeles and possibly Oakland. De

To make this move it will be neces

rescind a resolution barring major
league clubs from Coast League parks,
either for Spring games or post-season
matches.
"I'm in favor of such a proposition."
said Henry Berry, president of the San'

league directors, I am certain they will
vote for It. Two years ago we had the

Determined Opposition Is Likely, Al
though Rule Is In Vogue in East.
Flan First AVas to Ap
pease California.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alta,
Cal Oct. 7. (Special.) Freshmen will
be barred from all varsity competition,
even though the contests are with in
stitutions other than the University of
California, according to a decision
reached by the executive committee at
Its regular meeting last week. This
decision created quite a furore, and is
meeting with considerable unfavorable
comment.
The rule against freshman participa
lon was originally formulated with the
Idea of appeasing the University of
California and re-entering athletic re
lations with them. For the sake of
competition between the two schools
Stanford conceded that first-year men
were not to be used In contests for su
premacy. Separate events for the
freshles were instituted.
Certain members of the executive
committee conceived that on the
grounds of consistency, freshmen should
be barred from any and all competi
tion on representative Stanford teams,
in open meets or dual events with ath
letic clubs.
The rule as it now stands is similar
to actions taken by the universities and
colleges through the East and Middle
West. It is contended that the rule,
being accepted and upheld by these
must be worthy of adoption here. But
the bane of the paid athlete has not
been inflicted on the West as it has on
other communities.
The one-year probation law is neces
sary there to keep out of college the
husky lumberjack who is a "wtx" on the
football field, yet who cannot hope to
get by In scholarship. Under the ex
isting conditions there seems to be no
necessity for such a rule here and de
termined opposition to the decision of
the executive committee may be looked
for.
That faculty members as well as
students should keep .up with athletics
is the opinion of President Wilbur, who
visited the Faculty Club last week and
in a friendly way advised the profes
sors to take advantage of Stanford's
excellent equipment.
"I reminded the faculty that the
precedent Jf the faculty has always
been for athletics." said Dr. Wilbur,
"and asked -them where the baseball
team was this year."
Classes in the gymnasium for the
professors are being formed under the
direction of Harry W. Maloney. The
official faculty workout will consist of
10 minutes' Swedish ifree-arm move
ments, followed by a swim.
