Following: the close of the Interscho lastic football season last Wednesday, the newspapers will announce their mythical all-star teams today and to morrow. Each man on the all-stars is Judged to be the best player at his po sition on any of the nine teams in the association. An odd condition exists In picking the stars this year. All the best play ers appear to be holding: down the same position on their respective teams, while the best players of other po sitions are only mediocre and would never make the all-stars in any other year where there was real competition for the place. There are four good centers this year, although none are world-beaters. Sanders, of Lincoln, is placed first, principally because he was the hardest worker. Haizlip, Franklin's side passer. Is probably the most finished player of the four, and takes second place. Johnny Wulf and Sam Stro hecker, the giants of the league, also were good men, especially toward the latter part of the season. Guard Competition Slight. There was not much competition for guard positions. Thomas, of Franklin, undoubtedly was the class of the asso ciation. Day, of James John, while he played at both guard and tackle dur ing the year, did especially fine work at the former position. The second team guards are McCormlck, of Frank lin, and Jensen, of Washington. The latter did not begin to shine in fact, he was a substitute player until the latter part of the season, when he sur prised his school and the league with several really excellent games. The tackles are the best the league has seen In many a year. There are two great pairs, the Columbians and the Franklinites. Columbia's tackles place first. They are Knapp, the varsity's 185-pound captain, and Hod ler, all-star of other years. Right be hind them are York and Gillis, the Franklin crackerjacks, who undoubt edly would have been first in any other year. The hardest Job of all is to pick the ends.- First place is given to Charlie Spackman and "Hoody" Smith, the 1 fleet-footed youngsters of James John.1 They probably are the speediest men in the league, and their ability to catch almost impossible passes was what ran James John up into second place. On defensive they also played fine games; it will be remembered that only one team succeeded in solving the James John line. Tucker, of Franklin, makes the second division. He did his most brilliant work at the end of the sea eon. Martin Howard, of Jefferson, is the hardest worker of the lot. Dane tier, his teammate, also made a good showing. Brown Named Quarter. ' It's nip and tuck between Charles Brown, of Franklin, and William Schroeder, of James John, for first place at quarter. The honor is given to Brown for being Just a shade the more versatile field general. Schroeder is a wonder at open play. Other excellent quarterbacks are "Tex" Willeford, of Jefferson; Morris Rogoway, of Com merce; Edwin Wright, of Lincoln: Fred Allen, of Columbia, and Churchill, of HilL The league has never seen so many real stars In this department. Joy Badley, Franklin halfback, came as near to "burning up" the league as any other individual player this year. He was a terror on offensive. "Pinky" Wright, although calling signals tor Lincoln, is a good running mate for Badley when it comes to smashing the line. "Pinky" practically was the whole Lincoln team this year. The second team men are almost on a par with the first for halfback po sitions. Both are really quarters, but like Wright, their ability to smash the line gives them places on the all-star. Fred Allen, of Columbia, is one, and "Tex" Willeford, of Jefferson, who got a slow start this year but finished strongly, is the other. Pete Glass, of Washington, also is a good halfback. It was impossible to decide on a full back until the final game of the year was played. Then the "dark horse" won, and an "anchor" team, for the first time in years, got a man on the all stars. Henry Wagner, of Commerce, has proved himself to be the most ef ficient fullback in the league. Not the finished player that Badley is, nor as hard a hitter as Plummer, he is a steadier player than either. Added to this, he was the star punter of the league. "Big Wag" worked his head off in every game this year, and when all is said and done, he accomplished more than the polished, confident stars of the other teams. Roger Plummer, of Jefferson, places Just a shade behind Wagner, and bears the honor of being the hardest hitting backfleld man in the league. Altogether, although more than half of the players this year were new to the game, the games were as fast and clever as in other years. One marked improvement of 197 was the kicking and punting, which was far better than preceding years. Astoria Fixe 7, Pleasant Hill 11. EUGENE. Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.)

ALUMNI WORKING HARD Supreme Effort to Get California Institutions Together Again "Will Be Made When Representatives Meet at Bay City Tomorrow. The Stanford University alumni, who have been openly advocating the Palo Alto school's return to the American game, are much encouraged over re cent developments, especially since Stanford won from Santa Clara. The alumni of Stanford have been working for a change for the last three years. There has been no valiant effort on the part of the Stanford grad uates this year to bring Stanford back to American football. The alumni of the cardinal institution advance sev eral reasons for advocating the switch. The Stanfordites did not press their claims for switching over to the American game this season because they figured that any attempt to trans plant games after Sar.ta Clara's victory last year would be fruitless. It is known that the one big ambition of Stanford was to get revenge on Santa Clara for last year's defeat and now that they have it the chances are very much In favor of a return to American football. There is no question but that the Stanford Athletic Association has been going behind every year since football relations were severed with the Uni versity of California. While the re ceipts from the big Rugby game have been about the same as those of the California-Washington game, which is regarded as California's big football classic, the California boys were not obliged to split their gate, as Stanford had to do with Santa Clara. California made mom off all its pre liminary games, while Stanford had few opponents at Rugby, and as a re sult the money failed to pass through the box office in a manner to make the Stanford officials Jubilant. With Stanford going behind on ath letics and California reported to be more than holding its own, the Stan ford alumni see their opportunity to bring the cardinal undergraduates back to American football and the big clash with California. The war has inter posed a very good chance for the two schools to again resume football re lationship. Under ordinary conditions California, with her three years of American foot ball experience, would have a decided advantage over Stanford the first cou ple of years after the contemplated change. If Stanford changes now, however, while the athletes which Cal ifornia has developed are being lost to the war. the game should be a pretty even break. The relations of the schools may be brought about by their meeting at the Pacific Coast conference in San Fran cisco tomorrow, which will give them a good chance to talk matters over and with the alumni trying to bring about an adjustment there are good reasons for believing that next year will see the two big California schools tangling EUGENE HIGH SCHOOL CHANGE MAY COM " ' " 111 mis 11 ii-.mi-.il, "hi T"'m' "111 I ,- nTn'.iT.'itfnnn; 1 (p, s?' fW" ' Vsftilfn ii 'nr ii7ni 'jji'i'iiT.

The only obstacle which presents itself to the men who are boosting for the return of football relations be tween the colleges is said to be Dr. Angell. head of the faculty control of athletics at Stanford and delegate to the Pacific Coast conference. Whether the matter can be fixed with the faculty seems to be about the only question regarding the return of Stan ford to American football. If Stanford resumes its football re lations with California it will be the means of putting a crimp in the Uni versity of Washington's prestige on California's football calendar. The Seattle school took Stanford's place and the California-Washington game has been looked upon as the gridiron clas sic of the year. Hun Avaitors Spoil Baseball Diamonds With Bombs. Joseph -Patterson Tells of Playtns Game Under Difficulties. JOSEPH PATTERSON', former mem ber of The Oregonian editorial staff who recently returned from "over mcie, wucre ne nas oecn driving one of the American ambulances, relates a rather amusing incident in which the ambulance drivers played a game of baseball behind the firing lines. It was Impossible to get gloves or other paraphernalia except baseballs and one of the drivers conceived the idea of cutting out one of the isinglass eyeholes from his gas mask and by shoving his finger through was able to use it for a glove. "We were strictly up against It for catchers," said Mr. Paterson. "It was impossible to get a body protector or mask for the catcher to wear, and sometimes we used as high as eight or 10 men behind the bat. They were all game, however, and many of our back stops received a. "fast" one square on the nose or in the eye. "On numerous occasions the enemy aviators dropped bombs on our playing field not while we were there and as a result there would be several big holes 8 to 10 feet deep and 16 to 0 feet wide. You can Imagine what we we were up against. A felow would al most break his neck trying to field a ball on some of those- diamonds. We were always playing on a new field. Just as fast as the German would dec orate our diamond with a few shots we moved to a new field. Nobody tried to stop any of those "high' ones the Ger mans threw at us indeed not."

FOOTBALL TEAM, CONTENDERS FOR VALLEYS GRIDIRON CHAMPIONSHIP. . . w CUP GRANT WINS Michigan Soldiers Lose When Costello Fails on Goal. CONTEST IS SPECTACULAR Largest Crowd of Season Witnesses Game in Which $4 0,000 Is Raised to Enrich the Athletic Funds of Two Cantonments. CHICAGO, Dec. 1. Before the biggest crowd that has witnessed a football game in Chicago this season. Camp Grant defeated Camp Custer 14 to 13. at Stagg field today. The contest was staged to enrich the athletic funds at the two cantonments and it was esti mated that $40,000 was raised. The contest was the most desperate ly fought and spectacular played on Stagg field in years. The Custer eleven came from behind In the final period and scored all of its points. Costello'a failure to kick goal robbed the Mk-hi gan soldiers of a tie. Langhoff. a for mer Wisconsin star, and Gardiner. former captain of the Carlisle Indians, registered touchdowns for Custer. Gar diner blocked a punt and raced 50 yards ior tne final score. Shiverick, an All-American star from Cornell, and Eddy, a famous Princeton quarterback, played brilliantly for Camp Grant, each scoring touchdowns. The kicking of Shiverick and Costello. a former Georgetown player, was a rev elation. It was seldom that their punts did not travel 50 to 60 yards. Shiverick made three attempts to boot field goals from the 41, 45 and 47-yard lines, and the ball missed the goal only by inches. The game frunished an inspiring mili tary spectacle. As the teams took the field eight bands which had been massed into one, struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner." The thousands of soldiers and officers stood at attention, their faces turned toward the band, while the WILLAMETTE AND ROGUE RIVER crowd stood with bared heads. As the last strains of the anthem died away a mighty cheer broke from the crowd. Brigadier-General Lyman Kennon, the new commandant at Camp Grant, a dozen other Generals and their staffs, French and British officers, and men and women prominent in professional and social life in Chicago occupied boxes which lined the gridiron.

IOOK PO iAL IT GAVfty V Xo Word Received by Beaver Owner as Yet Regarding Purchase of Portland Players and Pro posed Transfer of Club. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. The Coast League magnates have, their needle working again, and after Injecting a few shots Into Sacramento, that town is awake after a two weeks" snooze, and It Is announced that Sac ramento still Is a contender for the Portland franchise, even though the promoters admit their Inability to raise the necessary money to purchase the Portland franchise. The southern magnates. It Is report ed. In their desperation to boot Port land out of the Coast League, have, as a last resort, decided to finance the In itial expense of installing the Portland club in Sacramento on the promise that the Capital City fans will agree to pay salaries and take care of whatever other expenses are Incurred during the season. If the Coast League lmpressarlos are willing to shoulder the expense of transferring the Portland franchise to Sacramento, whicn means paying the McCredies for whatever players the Sacramento people decide they want, it will be "soft pickings" for Charlie Graham and those interested with him in breaking once more into organized baseball. Judge McCredie has been waiting pa tiently for word from the south, but to date the judge has been entirely overlooked by those magnates who In the past have been glad to share bis ideas and hospitality. It was rumored in the south that Sacramento would be able to fix matters up satisfactorily with the Coast directors yesterday, but at a late hour last night Judge McCredie had received 110 word of any action be ing taken. President Blewett, of the Northwest ern League, wrote McCredie a letter yesterday asking the Portland magnate If anything new had developed regard ing the ousting of Portland from the Coast League. Blewett made no men tion of what the Northwestern League planned to do and Judge McCredie is of the opinion t-iat the entire matter hinges on whatever action the Pacinc Coast League magnates take regarding the Portland franchise.

The annual meeting of the Oregon" Sportsmen's League on December 9 and' 10 promises to be of importance to the sportsmen of the state. The league" will take up the various lines of en deavor open to the organization, and a well-attended and geographically representative attendance will assist materially in the deliberations. Among the important topics to b discussed are proper warden service. The commission's funds are so depleted that something must be done imme diately to provide and finance adequate warden service for the coming year. Another topic to be settled Is that of co-operating with the Forest Service-, to change the opening date of the deer, season from August 15 to September 1. Since fish have become such an Im portant factor of the food question, the league intends to urge a more comprehensive survey of the- resources of the state. Special legislation with regard to the Rogue and Willamette rivers will be considered. Dr. E. C.
