Oklahoma, last night in the "Winged M" gym nasium, by a score of 49 to 8. Coach Frank Wight, of the visitors said it was the fourth defeat his ag gregation had received on the tour and 24 games had been played.

Two field baskets and four fouls formed the total credited to the Rangers, while Captain Sharp and his proteges threw 23 field baskets and converted three foul throws. The first half ended 22 to 1 and in the final period the "Winged M" athletes slacked up in their speed and let the visitors get through the defense. It may be that the Oklahomans were stale be cause of the tedious grind they have been subjected to, but it is doubtful if they could have scored a victory from the .Multnomah delegation. Lineup Is Switched. Captain Sharp was high point-getter ior nis team, with 11 field baskets and three fouls, a total of 25 markers. Manager Masters made two switches in his lineup at the beginning of the second half in order to give all his atnietes a chance to work out. theorem Dewey threw three field baskets and ail were sensational ones. Referee Homer Jamison had little difficulty in handling the game, for it was far from being rough. He called six fouls against the Oregonians and three against the Easterners. Multno mah will play the Columbia quintet a jiractice game this morning In the club gymnasium, while next Saturday night Manager Masters will take his aggre gation to Salem to meet Willamette University.

ATHLETIC CLUB HOCKEY STARS CAPTAIN'S DAY OVER Bezdek Will Have None at Ore gon Next Season, He Says. POSITION ENTAILS WORRY Gridiron Czar Declares Responsibil ity Makes Mediocre Player of Star Honor to Be Toted On When Year Ends. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Jan. 13. (Special.) The dav of the field football captain for the University of Oregon teams is over. If Coach Hugo Bezdek is to have his way. According to the czar of the Oregon gridiron a football star elected to the position of captain does not amount to much after he is elected. "I don't mean to say." said the coach, "that the election goe to the man's head, but it makes a mediocre player out of an otherwise star. That Is not because he isn't as capable as before, but the responsibility that attaches to a. field captainship makes him worry and worry until he is almost valueless as a football player." The new plan Coach Bezdek has in ind Is to make the election of a cap tain purely honorary. That is, next season the University of Oregon team would have no captain. The field gen- enaisnip for each game would be wholly in the hands of some man of the team appointed at the eleventh hour by the coach. This man's duties as a field general would cease with the game. This would be the system employed SENSATIONAL PORTLAND QUINTET WHICH MEETS THE CHEMAWA INDIANS IN PORTLAND NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT.

Umu Is) Xot In the Picture. Complete arrangements were made yesterday whereby the Peninsula Park basketball team would meet the Chemawa Indiana in the Christian Brothers Business College gymnasium next Saturday night. A preliminary contest will be staged between the Peninsula Vikings and the C. B. B. C. Juniors for the' 120-pound championship of Portland. The first game will start at 7:45 o'clock P. M. Coach Al Bartholemy, of the Peninsula Park toseers. has had his ath letes win 10 out of 11 games so far during the 1917 season. The only de feat was at the hands of the 165-pound Goldendale, Wash., quintet at Golden dale. The Portlanders were outweighed more than 20 pounds to the man. The Indians are coming to Portland with the record of having trimmed the Okla homa State Normal School aggregation, which is on a 7000-milo tour and last .night the Normal boys battled the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club repre sentatives. The Peninsula Park team has scored 420 points to its opponents' 10. Charles S. Botsford, of Reed College, will be the referee for the main event , . WHO PLAY THEIR FIRST GAME OF SEASON TOMORROW. straight through the active season. As soon as the season was over the coach would call a meeting of his proteges and have them then elect a man to whom they desired to give the honor of being their captain for the season Just finished. This plan. Indeed, makes the coach the czar of the football field, but to Coach Bezdek it does not appeal in that way. "I am looking for some sys tem whereby I can keep my star play ers R8 star players, and not having them sent into the ranks of mediocrity because of worry from responsibility attaching to the captainsnlp." com mented Bezdek in outlining tne pian he wants to put into effect at Oregon. Evidently he is going to put this plan Into effect, since there has been no election on the University of Oregon campus, an election that has kept the students on the qui Vive since the Oregon-Pennsylvania game at Pasadena New Year's iay.

MANY CLUBS HOLD BOUTS Lumbermen's Organization and Also Moose Lodge Go In for Boxing. Washington's New Coach Has Some Promising Material. BY PORTUS BAXTER SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 13. (Special.) Jimmy Richardson, scout for the Portland Beavers, was in Seattle this week and had a talk with President Dugdale, of the Seattlj club, 'about players. Manager Bill Leard, however. Is in Califor.ua, so the outcome of the confab, which may have some bearing on the make-up of the Seattle club for the coming season, may not be known for some time. The. refusal of the Multnomah Club boxers to take part in a programme wherein the Seattle Athletio Club had scheduled professional bouts should have been anticipated. Leaving the question of ethics out of It, the fact remains that the Amateur Athletic Union rules do not sanction such a mixing of creeds, and If Multnomah had overlooked the Irregularity some one of a technical disposition might have arisen and caused a lot of trouble. One might imagine that the conduct of boxing exhibitions would be con fined to athletic clubs, but such is not the case in Seattle. Last year the Seat tle Athletic Club, Austin & Salt's school of physical culture and the Elks" Club held the center of the stage. Ihe first two are strictly athletic cluba and the Elks have a gymnasium with salaried instructor. This season the Elks have dropped out of the game and In their place we find the Lumbermen's Club and the Moose, the last-mentioned a fraternal organization. This week the Lumbermen's Club billed Frankle Burns, of Oakland, against Ray Campbell, a former Seattle boy. e Now that C. J. Hunt has approved of the University of Washington and Pres ident Henry Suzzallo has approved of Mr. Hunt, it is settled that Mr. Hunt will take up Gllmour Doble's task of turning out "championship football teams In Seattle. Mr. Hunt must feel all puffed up over the personal Indorsement of Mr. bui zallo. because it carries with it a sort of title Insurance pertatnlng to all those qualities which go to the making or a character necessary to security in a Job at the University of Washington. -We feel safe in asserting that Mr. Hunt will not make any after-dinner speeches until his views have been carefully con sidered, possibly censored. At the first signs of mutiny among his football gladiators we cannot conceive of Mr. Hunt doing otherwise than rushing madly to the center of the maelstrom with a pamphlet of Mr. Suzzallo's plat itudes. Believe me, no football coach In the future will dare to say that he sympathizes with his obstreperous war riors. Mr. Hunt comes to Washington when prospects are bright for a strong team. Only three men will be missing from Doble's undefeated eleven of 1916. There was first-class material in the fresh man team, to say nothing of the first team substitutes. Baseball Queries Answered. By Billy Etiiu. Q UESTION Do major league um pires fine players? How is a deci sion reached regarding fines and sus pension of players? Answer Major league umpires do not fine players. If they regard the offence committed a serious one. the player is put out of the game and a complete report of the affair written or telegraphed to the president. He reaches a decision as to what punish ment should be iueted out. Question Whom do you regard as the fastest pitcher in baseball? I refer to the ue of speed. An.:wer Without hesitating I would say Walter Johnson. Occasionally otrter pitchers appear Just as fast, but John son is always fast when he desires to put his stuff on the ball. Arguments are often create' by comparing his speed with that of Rusle. In this case 1 offer the opinion of Hughey Jennings, manager of the Detroit Americans, who batted against Rusle when he was in hit. prime. "Rusle may have been as fast as Johnson, but positively no faster." says Hughey. Question Pitcher while standing on the rubber snaps the ball to third base, catching the runner. He makes the snap throw while standing flat-footed. Is it a balk? ' Answer The pitcher made a balk, and the runner on third should have J LBS DARCT'S BXSO RECORD. t Born October 28. 180S.

In falling to step toward the base to which he in tended to throw, the pitcher made a Da ik. in throwing the ball to any base to catch the base runner, the pitcher must step directly toward such base in the act of making the throw. Question What interpretation do the major leagues place on the rule that relates to the coacher at third touching a runner at third base or rounding third base for the home plate? Answer Ever since the inauguration of the rule. President Johnson, of the American League, has instructed his umpires that no attention t-hall be paid to the actions of the coacher. If after a chance for a play has ceased he shall touch the base runner. The National League. I believe, reached the same conclusion as to the play at the start of last season. Question Does it matter how a base runner turns after he Beaches first base? Answer Some years ago, if the Rim P.l.lncr. - V.MtMA 5pred Marvel. Who Meets "Muff t Bronaon at the Eleventh-Street I'lajkeme January 23. 4 4 ... eeeeeeeeeeeeee runner turned to the left after reach ing first base, it made him liable to be put out. That rule was changed, and now he may turn either way after overrunning Irst base. The mo ment, however, he makes an attempt to run to second he exempts himself from liability to be put out. The Amer ican Association, I believe, has a league rule which forces all base runners to turn to the right after reaching first base, as was once demanded by the playing code. Question It Is Lajole's turn to bat at the start of an inning, but Cobb, who follows Lajole In the batting or der, opens the Inning with a single. It Is then discovered that Cobb batted out of order. Who Is out and how proceed with the batting order? Answer The discovery of the mis take retired the proper batsman. Lajole, who should have opened the Inning. The batting order should then proceed In regular fashion. Since Cobb should follow him. he is brought back from first base, which he had reached be cause of his single, while batting Im properly, and hits over again. Question Do you believe It would be pOFslble to abolish the freak style of deliveries such as the spit ball, emery ball, mud ball and others, as recently advocated at one of the major league meetings? Answer It would be a very easy matter to legislate against these styles of deliveries, but legislation wouldn't necessarily abolish them. Such action would be largely up to the umpire, and he would aoon discover he had more mysteries to unravel than Sherlock Holmes ever had, for ballplayers will always somhow find a way to get around a rule. Question Do umpires share In the receipts of the world's series and city series after the manner of the players? Answer Umpires receive a stipulated sum for their work, also all their ex penses. In the world's series each offi cial recciv3 S1000. while In a city series ho gets half that amount. Question Who has the best curve ball of the American League pitchers? I have reference to the right-handers. Answer That la some question even to try to answer. When Jim Scott, of Chicago, is right, he has a curve ball that Is a beauty. Elmer Myers, the big right-hander discovered by Connie Mack, also has a fast, sweeping curve, as American League batters discovered last year. If that question was put to the American league batters for a vote. it would probably find at least a score of pitchers prominently mentioned. Question What became of Catcher Myer. who started the season so bril liantly for Connie Mack? He suddenly dropped out of the lineup, and during the last three or four months I didn't see where he played a single game. Answer While the AthletR-s were playing In St. Louis, Myer was sud denly taken down with appendicitis and operated upon. Mack sent him home with instructions not to report until 1917. He looked like a mighty ood prospect. NORMAL ACTIVITIES PLAXXED Basketball to Be Followed by Base ball and Tennis. OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, Mon mouth. Jan. 13. (Special).

There is no little discussion around town about the decision won by ""Muff" Bronson over Lloyd Madden at the Rosa City Athletic Club last Friday night. These two lads met on Dececber C8 and battled every second of the time that they were in the ring. Friday night's setto was different. It was evident at the outset that Bronson intended to box Madden and not mix It with him. Bronson weighed about 129 pounds and Madden 135.

If somebody told you that Larry La jole, aged 42 or so. was more agile as a 1916 fielder than Eddie Colline. the second base leader, you'd think it was some sort of Joke, wouldn't you? But here are the figures: Lajole in 105 games accepted 595 chances, averaging 5.67 per game, whlla Collins In 155 contests took 780 for an average of only 5.03. Taking it from Walter Camp's selec tions, football as it is played in the West is a pifflous game performed by. piffling and punk players. Walt names three "All-American elevens and found room for only five Westerners In the 33 Jobs. Harley (Ohio State), Boston (Minnesota). Bachmaii (Notre Dame). Drlscoll (Northwestern) and Beckett (Oregon) were the five he "honored." Just why such sterling players as Maulbetsch (Michigan). Cofall (Notre Dame). Long (Minnesota). Bolen (Ohio (State). Sprafka (.Minnesota), Wyman (Minnesota), Kohler (Notre Dame) and a host of others were sidetracked for some mediocre players In the East is one of the mysteries that Camp alone can solve. High Cost of Beer. Beer is quoted at 5 cents per bucket ful in most of the liquor markets, but it cost Ray Caldwell something like $3300. Ray Is the Yankee pitching person of whom great things were expected In 1916. He hurled wonderful baseball in 1915 with a poor team behind hi in. When the Yanks were rebuilt in 1916 It was figured that Caldwell would be a bulwark and more. But Ray became a bit fond of bev erage and certain sorts of be vera .re won't mix with baseball. Several times Ray was rebuked for not keeping In condition. Finally he exasperated "Wild Bill" Donovan to such an extent that Bill suspended bim for the ret of the year. That was about mid- season. And from that time on Ray didn't draw any pay from the club. Had he worked he would have received $3300 for that period or Idleness. Ray. by the way. is the same athlete who was fined $900 by Frank Chance during a single season for failure to keep in condition. Moral Drink sarsaparllla. Read The Oregonlan classified ads.
