BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
PASADENA. Cal.Dec. 30. (Special.)
It is becoming very evident that
Oregon's secondary forward pass de
fense is to be severely tested by the
Pennsylvania football team on New
Year's day. Calirornia scored 14 points
on Oregon early in the Fall by forward-passing,
and today, following the
addition of Coach Andy Smith, of the
California eleven, to the Quaker ad
visory staff, the Pennsylvania team
devoted the entire afternoon to aerial
practice.
"Will your men be able to stop the
passes?" was asked Hugo Bezdek this
afternoon at the Maryland.
"Candidly, I don't know." replied the
Oregon coach.
Aerial Game In to De Teat.
"Parsons, on one side, is a very
experienced and able defensive player.
I Moqxeith handles the other secondary
i lank with Hollis Huntington backing
the center and his brother. Shy. in the
safety position. We played nearly all
of our games in the mud this year, so
my boys were not called upon often to
smother a diversified attack. If we can
hold them on their passes I think we
may give Folwell's bunch a surprise."
The Oregon team indulged in only
light work today and everybody ap
pears to be in tiptop condition. Hugo
Bezdek had the lads in secret session
early In the week and may have a pass
attack of his own laid away for New
Year's day.

Ol'T LITTLE MONEY.
I
OREGON BASKETBALL BEHIND Odd Offered so Ear Are In Favor of
Eastern Eleven One Man Offera
to Allow Orrcon 20 Points.
There is very little betting in Port
land on the game tomorrow between
the University of Pennsylvania and the
University of Oregon at Pasadena. It
Is said that Ernest Swlgert, a Harvard
man, has some money which he will
lay at 1 to 2 on Pennsylvania and
allow Oregon 20 points.
Eddie J. O'Connell. Instructor at the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, will
take Oregon If given two touchdowns.
The sentiment around the Multnomah
Club is that the score will be very
close. There Is no betting being done
at the University Club. Sid Brunn. of
Seattle, who left for home ridny. said
he had Pennsylvania money to be bet
at even terms, but placed very little of
It.
Two or three supporters of Hugo Bes
dek's machine have inquired at Sol
Stiller" s cigar store, Broadway and
Stark streets, if any Pennsylvania men
would give the Eugene lads 15 points.
They did not get placed.
At the Columbia billiard parlors only
$50 has been placed. In these cases
the Philadelphia takers gave Oregon
ten points. Around this establishment,
it is said, there is $400 to be covered
on Oregon with ten points. There is
a like amount on Pennsylvania, giving
six points.
Late Close of Football Season I-
Handicap to Quintet.
UNIVERSITY OE OREGON. Eugene.
Dec. 30. (Special.) Monday the last
game of football will be rung out of
the University calendar, when the
varsity meets the fast-going Pennsyl
vania crew on the Pasadena field.
With that off the boards the mld-Wln-ter
sport of basketball will begin.
Coach Bezdek will then be released
from his football duties and may cen
ter his' whole attention upon the bas
ketball tossers.
Orders have been Issued for all hands
to be on deck by the time the coach
returns from the south. Already the
varsity tossers are a month behind in
training. This means a body blow to
championship hopes. Not a single let
ter man is on deck nor is there much
promise from the material on hand.
The former stars have departed, and
the varsity has to be entirely rebuilt
this year. Bezdek will have tochoosc
from men who have never had their
metal tried in an intercollegiate
contest.
Out of the intra-mural games of
last year he can prab a few men who can
put up a fairly fast game. But they
are lacking in experience to cope with
the fast teams representing the Uni
versity of California and the Oregon
Agricultural College.
At Corvallis ,xhere are letter men
galore more than enough to make up
a quintet. At Berkeley they have been
practicing for a month or more and
drilled from A to Z in all stages of
the game.

Beavers Said to Want Another Good
Southpaw If Williams Is Put
on First Base, New Center
fielder Win Bo Sought. .
Kenneth Williams is the latest one
mentioned as successor to Louis Gulsto
and Ivan Howard as guardian of the
first sack position on the 1917 Portland
Pacific Coast League club. The filling
of this position is Just at present caus
ing Manager Walter Henry McCredie
worry.
McCredie has written every major
league club and many minor organiza
tions in quest of a capable pastimer
who knows all the perplexities of the
position. Of course. Boss Walter un
doubtedly still has a chance of landing
someone somewhere before time for
Spring training.
"If It comes to a pinch." said he yes
terday, "I will play Outfielder Kenneth
Williams at first. He played the last
week of the season In that position
after Bill Rodgers looked so bad. and
acquitted himself creditably. Williams
handled himself like a veteran around
the initial corner. He can throw to
the other bases, field and is fast on his
feet. Who knows but what he may de
velop into a finished infielder?"
alter McCredie announced yester
day that Pitchers Johnny Telford and
Hal llliams. the latter from Rov.
Mont., will not be taken to the camp.
Johnny Brandt, Al Zwelfel, Schauer. a
len-nanaer or San Francisco, and
"Lefty" Schatzlein. of Los Angeles, will
be the only recruit heavers In line.
Holdovers Byron Honrk. Herb Kelly
and Lyle Bighee and Mark Higbee. of
ulncy; Al Leake, of Rocky Mount:
Fred Beebe. of Cleveland: Kenneth
Penncr. of Cleveland: Hill, formerly
with the Buffalo Feds, and Tom Hel
frleh. of Harrisburg. together with the
"hushers." comprise the Portland hurl
ing staff at present.
Although the McCredles apparently
are not making much effort to land a
couple of other seasoned chuckers. it
is thought that the names of two pitch
ers will be announced shortly. Walter
Mack Is especially anxious to get an
other good southpaw, and he Is taking
Rushers Schauer and Schatzlein to
camp Just because thev throw from the
port side.
In the event of Kenneth Williams be
ing assigned to first base, it will be up
to Walter McCredie to get another cen
ter fielder. Dennis Wtlle cannot cover
the center pasture capably, according
to the Herculean leader. He does not
cover enough ground.
If the switch is made another gar
dener will be secured and Wllle and
Billy Nixon will alternate in right field.
Southworth handling left.
Don't get It into your head that the
Portland infield will remain as it is
now. with only Bill Rodgers. Bill
Stumpf. McGlnnls. Charley Hollocher
and Chuck Ward as candidates. Mc
Credie said yesterday that he wanted
Joe Kvans hack. Evans will be taken
to Cleveland training camp, but as he
is far from being polished, will be
shunted off for further seasoning.
What better place than Portland?
The news from Los Angeles that
Hamilton P. Patterson is to be replaced
as manager of Vernon has caused little
surprise. Pat is a fighter from the
ground up. He drives his men and drives
them hard to win. He made a great
showing last season, gathering together
an almost new club. If his outfielders
had hit a lick he might havo won the
pennant.
But his "cry-baby" tactics ruined
him. Here is a fellow who "crabbed"
himself out of a job. Pat would make
a good manager if he would combine a
little business with it and had balance.
Thero may He some difficulty In the
Portland club securing Shortstop Mr.
Ginnis from Spokane if he makes good
at the training camp. It Is thought,
however, that this can be patched up
with the Indian management.

NKW YORK. Dec. 30. (Special.)
Les Darcy today signed a contract to
elevate the American vaudeville stage
and the prize ring for 15 weeks for
$75.f00. This announcement was made
by Freeman Bernstein, theatrical agent
and former boxing promoter.
"Darcy signed with me this after
noon." declared Bernstein. "The con
tract calls for him to box or to per
form for me for a period of 15 weeks
with the privilege of an extension of
contract. I succeeded in convincing
Darcy that there was little likelihood
of Carpentier coming to this country,
and he finally accepted my terms.
"As for Mr. Hickard's connection
with Darcy, you understand that Darcy
and Rlekard had no written agreement.
I may agree to let Darcy box under
Hickard's promotion, provided Rlekard
offers inducements that appeal to me."
C. C. HUNT APPROVED AS COACH
President Suzzallo and Washington
Faculty Committee O. K. Him.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 30. (Special.)
Dr. Suzzallo. of the University of
Washington, and the faculty athletic
committee have put the seal of their
approval on Claud C. Hunt, as possible
successor to Gllmour C. Dobie. as
Washington football coach.
"Nothing seems now to stand In the
way of the university and Mr. Hunt
getting together and arranging the
thing." Mr. Younger said tonight. "It
Is just a matter of time until Mr. Hunt
will be our coach."
The prospective football mentor had
a conference with Dr. Suzzallo this
morning. Following their talk, the
doctor said he and Mr. Hunt were in
accord as to policy.
