ADVISED When Starting to Iearn Game Ama teurs Are Told to Practice Straight Kail, Nurse and . Keep Continually at Work. BT WILLIAM- T. HOPPE. World's Champion Billiardist. ' Much has been said of late concern ing the strides the game of billiards has made in the United States in re cent years and my views on the sub ject, therefore.' may be interesting to all lovers of the game. I believe that there are many more good players in the country than there were -when I first took up the game, but I claim those in the front rank have not advanced'beyond the standard cct by Schaefer and Ives 25 years ago. Naturally I except myself, though not 4n a boastful way. I. merely remark that my scores at the 18-lnch balkline game show that I am playing this etyle as well . or better than Schaefer or Ives ever played the 14-inch game, and I take no "special credit for my great superiority over all others now playing, for I assert my, uncanny mas tery of the ivories is to a large extent Intuitive. Natural Ability Aids. I declare I am a born player and that my present isolation on the top of the heatf is due to the fact that my natural gift for the game 'has been supplemented by years of unremitting practice and careful training. All old-time billiard fans know that nei ther Ives nor Schaefer ever took the care of themselves that is absolutely necessary for pre-eminence in a game " in which nerves play so large a part. Like the ballplayer of a generation ago, these old experts took life easy and enjoyed themselves. I have al ways taken care of my physical con dition. I do not smoke nor drink and I take Dlenty of exercise, walking be ing my favorite way of keeping my- j self fit. ' I claim at their best Ives and Schaefer were better billiard players than any of the present day stars who rank be low myself, but I am certain that there are now hundreds of good balkline players where 15 years ago there were not scores. But between a good play er and a champion there is a gap that the ordinary devotee of the game can never hope to bridge. Since under the resourceful and energetic management of R. B. Benjamin the game has been very much elevated and I claim that I have done more valuable missionary work or billiards than has ever been the case before. Work Is Essential. ' ' There are many ways by which an Tdinary player can improve his game. Remember it 13 no easy matter. It rtquires work, lots of It. It calls for patience. You must become master not only of basic principles of bil liards, but above all of these you must become master of yourself. Paramount to all tips that I may be able to give the amateur is this: Do not dissipate; lead a clean life. Do nbt imagine you can be an expert billiard player or " ever a good, average billiard player if you do not take care of yourself. Clean living is more essential to good bil liards than it is to any pther game. I have found that a man cannot drink, cannot smoke to excess if he would succeed at billiards. The game is a contest of nerve, contest of physi cal endurance, a pastime in which the man that loses his head, becomes an gry when he misses, an easy shot, or who is not at all times master of his emotions, is doomed to failure. The beginner should rirsc attempt to mas ter the straight rail game. Do not try and play balkline before you are pro ficient at straight fail. Practice Prime Necessity. 4 After you have acquired some knowl edge of the technique, practice con stantly. First put your efforts to the draw shot, than which there is no more important shot on the table. Learn to ' control the balls. Learn the cushion carom. Practice the rail, nurse and keep on practicing until you can do . something with it. ' The old game of cushion caroms, once popular, is- one-of the best that beginners can play. It is one to which the amateur should devote much of his time. To play good billiards one must see good billiards. A man cannot become expert until he sees experts play. You , must see the fine points of the game demonstrated. Then it is up to you whether you are a good, bad or indif- xerent player. Self-Control Kmphasizrd. Just a word concerning temperament.: I cannot emphasize too strongly the necesssity for self-control. Everyone occasionally misses easy shots. Don't try to breaR your cue, as I have seen many ao. wnen you miss. - Don t get lussea. jveep cooi. ftetaln your head. L se your head more than your hand. fcKUl is necessary, but head work i equally essential. Use good Judgment at all stages, especially in close Karnes Don't shoot before you think.

Arthur Younger, or University of Washington, Declares Jteport of JjOB Angeles School Being ' Refused Entrance Untrue. The University of Southern Califor nia may be a member of the Pacific Coast -.Intercollegiate Conference next year, and the southern school may be welcomed into the fold. News of this action came yesterday statements from A. D. Browne, di rector of athletics at Oregon Agricul tural College, and J. Arthur Younger, graduate manager at the University of vasnington. Although it was reported that the University of Southern California was refused admittance at the annual meet- ng of the conference at Seattle De cember 1 and 2 because it was not deemed strong eneugh, the truth of the matter is that the southern institu tion did not make application for ad mittance. Younger Issnea Statement. "The facts of the case are that the University of Southern California did nbt apply for membership or it might have, been admitted," telegraphed Grad uate Managw Younger, of the Uni versity of Washington to The Ore- gonian yesterday. "Graduate Mana ger Johnny Stroud, of the University of California verbally .announced at the meeting that the University' of Southern California deeired to enter and that he represented the Los An geles school. But since no formal ap plication had been sent to the or ganization he could not say anything further, so the matter was laid on the' table and action. Was postponed indef initely. 'That is what transpired at the meet ing and there waj no talk -about the University of Southern California not being, strong enough for the Pacific Coast Conference. How that report got out I do not know," concluded Mr. Younger.. Telegram Is Substituted. . A. D.

Mike is quoted as saying in St. ,,PauL "In fact Just now there Is no one whom I would like to box better. They call McCoy the Joke champion and all that, but Just the.; same thb fellow who knocks him ouC is going to' be hailed as the real champion. I would like a chance to try. it and if 1 should have the good fortune to finish him it would be clear sailing and a big match with Les Darcy. I have always thought that McCoy was not particularly anxious to meet me again, but if he is, then he is mv meat."

Andrews Is almost certain to stage it. it is said. In a letter here Ralph Gruman, the Portland lightweight, says he would like to return home for the holidays. Ralph has been studying criminal law in New York since he temporarily quit the squared circle. Although he has practically given up the idea of com peting further in the ring, he says he will step in once more In Portland Just to show the folks here that he is far from being through altogether.

Two Defeats In Three Years Are by Walla Walla School Has Some or Best State Talent. BAKER, Or.. Dec 9.( Special.) The Baker High School football team closed the 1918 season with a record for the school of being defeated only twice in three years, both times by Walla Walla. It expects to keep up the record next year, despite the fact that It will lose Stewart. Payton. Fleet wood, Fosbury and Ellias, who will graduate. Rand and Whipple may be back, with Gilliam, Brown, Howard. Poulson, Coffman, Weeks, Bates and Enberg sure. Baker closed the season of 1916 on Thanksgiving day, when It lost to Walla Walla by a score of 27, to 14. Baker played . the best game of the year, but fell before the heavy, fast and experienced Walla Walla team, . al though the score was 14 to 13 in favor of Baker at the end of the first half. Captain Fosbury developed from a mediocre player In -1915 to a real star in 1916, and is a fine open-field run ner, and has made a number of runs of more than 40 yards. He graduates in June. Ted Ludlam, ex-Multnomah star, says he is the best halfback in Kastern, Oregon and ranks with any high school player. Fleetwood again piloted the team in every game except the Caldwell game, and his selection of plays was faultless. He has not fumbled a single punt this year and has missed one goal from a touchdown. In three years he has kicked 22 raals out of 24 tries. Whipple, the -diminutive fullback, played the.' best game of his career against Walla Walla and showed his real 1915 class. He is in a class by himself in running. Interference and backing up- the line. Ludlam also praised him as "a classy star." All who have watched the per formance of Brown, the J eft tackle, say that he is the best lineman in the Northwest, and 'is consistent.

Quite a number of the local golfing set can be found at the new Multnomah golfing room every day and as Winter really sets in the Indoor game ought to increase in popularity. John G. Anderson, who was National semi-finalist in 1915. followed a pro fessional four-ball match recently and took note of the average of their drives. In the match were Jim Barnes, Walter H.-igen, Bob McDonald, Jimmie Donald son and Mike Brady. He found Hutch inson the longest driver, with an aver age of 265 yards and one long shot cf 295 yards. Anderson says the length of the drive of most golfers has been the fomentor of gross exaggeration. "The average drives of the IS handicap man are in truth not more than 175 yards." says he. The drives of the 10 handicap man are not over 200 yards, and of the scratch or low handicap man not over 225 yards." . Without question. Russell Smith, the Northwest champion, and John Junor, professional at the Tualatin Country Club, and Rudolph Wilhelm, open c'-ampion of the Northwest, rank witn nearly any of the long drivers of the country. In their special match two months ago. Junor averaged over 265 yards in the first match, and Smith 2C7 yards in the return IS holes at Waver ley. This average takes into account at lea t ore poor drive on each side. At Waverley Smith drove to within 25 yards of the first green and the hole is 350 yards long. Both poled out two drive- ovei 30 yards in length. In his iT.fh against Smith In the finals of the state chanTplonship. Wilhelm drove 290 yards on the fifth hole with no wind j hird him. The distance was pteppei off by onlookers. He drove a 370-yard gr.en at the Portland Club with a. slight wind favoring not long ago.
