GRIDIRON PRACTICE IS NEAR Coaches at Different Institutions Prepare to Assemble Squads. Rules This Season Are Made More Strict. BY JAMES J. EICHARDSOX. A telegram reeclved from Dr. Fred J. Boehler, director, of athletics at Washington State College, Pullman, Wash, advises that there will be no meeting of the Northwest College Con ference at this time, which is taken to mean that the conference freshmen rule will remain undisturbed. With this matter temporarily set tied in the minds of the college coaches they will settle down to the task of getting out "uni's" for the Eiquads which will start Jo assemble at the different colleges within the next two weeks. October 1 should see the boys on the gridiron and ready for scrim mage. With the starting- of practice reports will soon be coming in telling how the different coaches have devised plays to circumvent the rules. Loophole Seen In Rule. Of the changes made in this year's rules the most important "probably is the one that prevents an incoming sub stitute from communicating with his team on the field until after the first play. It was the intention of those who made the rules that by adopting this rule they would put an end to the abuses of those coaches who send in a substitute on every play to instruct the quarterback what signals he should call on the next move. You can picture our friends Bezdek and Pipal learning the deaf and dumb code, although neither believe in signs. By changing the rule to read that an incoming substitute must not' com municate with the quarterback until after his first play it was believed this abuse would be remedied. But there is a loophole in the rules. Though it may be against the spirit of the rules and1 might come under the category of unsportsmanlike conduct, there is an opening for the coach whose sole ambition is to win. And it is this: ; . "If the. Incoming substitute replaces the quarterback, he is allowed to give the signal." Now, the question . is to define a. quarterback. Under the football as played by Coach Pipal at O. A. C. and Bezdek at Oregon the quarterback has usually been lost in the shuffle. "Shy Huntington usually plays behind the backs. It would be more proper to refer to the backfield players as four halves instead of quarter, fullback, and right and left halfbacks. Quarter Usually Shifted. For instance, take the style of foot ball played by Bezdek, who piloted the University of Oregon squad to victory at Pasadena against Pennsylvania and developed the greatest football team the West ever saw. Bezdek's plans call for continual shifting of players. One play the quarterback is five yards back of center taking a direct pass. On another he may be on end, used on interference, or sent out to take a forward pass, or used as decoy to draw over one of the opposing players on secondary defense. At any rate, on only one or two plays during the game does he take a posi tion directly behind the center to re ceive the ball from the snapper back. which, under the old rules, defined nis position. Now, here is the out. There is nothing in the rules to prevent a coach from sending a substitute after each play, instructing him to notify the referee that he has replaced the quar terback. He does not necessarily have to take a position among the backfield players, either, for there is no rule in football which prohibits a tackle, guard or end from calling the signals, con trary to the generally accepted belief that quarterbacks always call the sig nals. Interference Penalty Increased. Interference with a player attempt ing to catch a forward pass is more drastic this year than last. Where such interference takes place the rule read: "Loss of ball to the offended side at spot of foul." Where the interference takes place back of the goal line the ball is given to the offended side on the one-yard line. In cases where a member of the side kicking the ball is touched by the ball when off-side, the approved ruling is that the ball is not automat ically dead, but that play may ensue and penalty be declined. This covers the play where members of the kicker's side rush down th field and touch the ball to prevent the defending side from making any great return. When an off-side player touches the ball within his opponent's 10-yard line, it is a touchback. Many coaches instruct their players to touch the ball, laying special em phasis on the fact that if they do it on the 11 or 12-yard line they prevent a touchback. especially in cases where the safety man elects to play safe and let the ball roll. breezes are blowing over the Summer's cruising ground. One last big event, however, to round out the old year and breeze in the new is the regatta scheduled for New Year's day an annual event which, as usual. the club will hold in Portland harbor somewhere between the bridges. This annual racing event has received wide spread attention over the country in the motorboat magazines and does itti bit to advertise that Portland's Win ters are mild the Winter of 1916 to the contrary notwithstanding. Whilo the Eastern motorboat fan is breaking: the ice cakes away from his boat moor ings or hugging the club's fireplace, the Portland jolly tar dons his white duck trousers, pins on a rose and pulls off his New Year's day race. The past season has not been produc tive of any startling surprises in the way of new local racing boats. Tho Vogler Boy II was and is in a class by herself and showed a bright pair of heels to all comers. The tendency thin season has been toward the cruiser an, runabout classes and the general inter est seemed to tend away from the racing idea toward that of pleasuro and cruising. A number of new boats of the cruis ing type made their first appearance oi the river early in the season, but very few new racers. Just what the futuro holds for the racing boat is hard to de termine, as the racing game is verj expensive and very rare'y does a racing boat owner at the end of the season have anything to show for his expendi ture of time, trouble and money, ex cept possibly a few cups, a fund of costly experience and an expensive boat suitable neither for cruising or run-, about purposes. Cruising Game PopuIa,r. The drift away from the racer has been very evident the past season hence the lack of the usual enthusiasm during the several races recently pulled orx Dy the club. The cruising game ii; no doubt the big game of the future in the motorboat world. Races will 6tili be held to vary the monotony, but the racing game, as we have known it in the past years, will not be the same until perhaps in the cycle of affairs of future years the motorboat game may circle back again. .During the season lust ended, the club has made a number of most suc cessful and enjoyable cruises which were well attended by the members and their host of friends. The last, biggest and best cruise of each season is that to Paradise Point, four miles up the Lewis River, and this year this annual event outshone all predecessors. It was indeed some cruise typical of the good times always enjoyed on such outings. ; Plans Are Uncompleted. No definite plans have yet been adopt ed by the club for the improvement of its Hard-Tack Island six-acre site. Vari ous ideas and suggestions have been advanced by the members as to the manner of improvement, and it is very probable that the coming year will see more definite eteps under way to im prove ti s future homesite of the club. The site lies on the extreme northerly end of the island and commands an un obstructed and picturesque vew of the Willamette and Portland harbor. The steady gain in the club's membership and healthy finance, augur well for no very distant action toward the erection of a new clubhouse and improvement of this beautiful site. A very strong co-operative feeling has been cultivated among the several clubs upon the river, resulting in the creation of what is known as an inter club committee, one member of which is appointed from each of the three river clubs the Yacht. Motorboat and Rowing clubs. The work of this com mittee has been fruitful in bringing these organizations closer together in promoting the best in river sports and general goodfellowship. All prospects augur well for the fu ture growth and success of all river sports under the co-operative influence of these three clubs. COACHE'S RECORD FINE COXIBEAR'S SUCCESS AT WASniXG TOX REVIEWED. Veteran Crew Developer Turned Out Slany Excellent ElRhta During Ills Long Stay In Seattle. It is by a rather sad coincidence that two former University of Wash ington roaches should be mentioned almost at the same time in the public print, for, while Dobie's progress with the Navy football squad was being chronicled, the wires carried the re srt of the sudden death of Hiram Conibear. The latter coached the Uni versity of Washington crews for almost as many years as Dobie handled the football teams and. when rowing con ditions are considered, with almost as much success. Under Conibear"s coaching the Wash ington crews won a position in the Pacific Coast rowing circles somewhat similar to that held by Cornell in the East. The Seattle college oarsmen won a large majority of the varsity regattas in which they were starters and in the two trips made to the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie for the Intercollegiate Regatta won the admiration and re spect of both the spectators and their opponents. While never successful in winning the college rowing classic of the East the Washington crew of 1913 finished third, being led by Syracuse and Cor nell and outrowing Wisconsin, Colum bia and Pennsylvania. . The next season the eight was not so well placed, being next to last in a field of six crews. In addition to these transcontinental trips to the Hudson, Conibear"s eights were many times victor over both the Stan ford and University of California com binations. Conibear was always an earnest ad vocate of intersectional rowing re gattas and many times tried to arrange for the visit of an Eastern college to Seattle. In 1910 the University of Wisconsin oarsmen rowed a three-mile race against Washington on Lake Men dota at Madison, Wis., but Conibear irad little success in his efforts to secure a crew to race on Lake Washington. He had expected to bring his eight, which won the 1917 Pacific Coast Intercol legiate Championship, East for the Poughkeepsie regatta last June. When this event was declared off, on account of the war. Conibear tried to arrange lor a three or four-mile race, either In the East or West, with any of the At lantic Coast varsity eights. For a time it appeared possible that the University of Pennsylvania might accept but ne gotiations fell through when the oars men of the two universities began to enlist. SWIMMIXG CLASSES ARE BIG Couch and Shattuck School Students Show Enthusiasm. Record attendance is marking the first few- weeks of the swimming classes at Couch and Shattuck schools, according to Swimming Instructor Harold Shadle. "Much more enthusiasm is being shown in the swimming classes this year than last," said Instructor Shadle. "The smaller children are taking a great interest in the sport, and this in itself is a mighty good thins, for the tots will be the expert swimmers of tomorrow. "Wednesday night, which is social night at both the Couch and Shattuck pools, always finds a jolly crowd of boys and girls enjoying the privilege." Millie Schloth. girls' .swimming in structor, and Lucille Bronaugh, as sistant, report very large classes among the girls of the public schools. Eugene and Salem Golfers Play. EUGENE, Or., Sept. 22.

They also will bowl on the Oregon Alleys. Tuesday night the Mercantile League rolls its first ball. The Commercial League opens its season either Wednesday or a week later. All the teams appear to be pretty evenly matched, and this Winter should see some dandy games. R. V. Jones was in fine form last week, shooting 707 pins for three games, with 268 high for one game. The Hotel League will roll its open ing game in about two weeks. BY GEORGE J. KELLY. WITH its Labor day cruise to Para dise Point, the Portland Motor boat Club finished up what was prob ably the most successful cruising sea son it has ever enjoyed. The club cruising season now is ended, although many of the members will take indi vidual cruises to the attractive epots along the river until the cool, crisp days of Fall have faded into the first grasp of Winter. Some time-about the end of October the lock on the boathouse door will be gin to take on a little rust the first sign of the coming motorboat Winter. Thereupon the club will open its Win ter schedule of smokers, dances and card parties. It is the aim of the entertainment committee to schedule at least one smoker a month, with an occasional dance and card party to while away the time, while the icy UNION HIGH NO 3 IS AT WORK Prospects for Successful Football Team Are Said to Be Good. GRESHAM, Or., Sept. 22. (Special.) The boys of Union High School No. 2 are working hard to get their football team in shape by October 1. Thirty two boys signed up to play, and 16 of them were out at the first practice. This included five of last year's team. Coach Carrol V. Brauer, one of the faculty, has hopes that the team this year will excel that of other years. He is well experienced in football and is a graduate of the University of Cali fornia. The captain is Orville Zimmer man. Leslie A. Walrad is manager and Merrill Good has charge of the team, properties. WHITMAN MATERIAL SHOWS Four of Iiast Tear's Football Squad Back; Others Expected. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. 22. (Special.) Though the war has made heavy drains upon Whitman's football material a number of husky freshmen who entered this Fall have given Coach Borleske rea son to feel less pessimistic There has been no time since school opened Wednesday to get a line on this material, but with four of last year's squad back and several more promising to put in an appearance next week Coach Borleske expects to get up a nrpipntahte acr&rreeration before tb first contest late next month.
