ROUMANIAN RISES FAST AS FIGHTER PORTLAND'S ICE HOCKEY STARS WHO WILL PLAY - EXHIBITION GAME TUESDAY NIGHT FOR BENEFIT OF COMPANY B, THIRD OREGON INFANTRY. PITCHED BULL FAST Speed Is 2.4 Miles Per Minute Tests Reveal. Alexander Trambitas.Although Only 16 Years Old, Has Good Ring Record. OTHER DATA COLLECTED 4 0 ' '--l:. V.w ' WC'V fac?. ' wA 17 BOXERS ARE FOUGHT Portland Youth, Born In Bucharest tn 1901, Is Developing in Fast Style and Success Is Predict ed for Him In Ring. Little did the natives of Bucharest in faraway Roumania think that the dark-eyed urchin who first saw the light of day in the Roumanian capital on May 14, 1901, and who was christ ened Alexander Trambltus, would some day become a contender for the light weight championship of the world. They may have heard now of the prowess of Alex, who although Just past 16 years of age, is considered a remarkable fighter. Alex came to this country with his parents 11 years ago and the family, which consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Tram bltas and six children, settled in South Portland. Alex is a brother of Valley -Trambitas, the middleweight boxer, who is now in San Francisco. He has three other brothers and a sister younger than himself. Six years ago Alex's father died and the responsibility of supporting the large Trambitas family fell on the shoulders of Valley and Alex. Valley was a headliner in Portland boxing circles for a while. One day after school Alex wandered down to Second and Oak streets, where Valley was train ing. He wanted to box with his brother and, although he had .a lame shoulder, he showed wonderful natural ability. Fable Likes Lad's Loolu. Jack Fahie. who has seen most of the best boxers in the country since the days of John L. Sullivan and Peter Mitchell, was a visitor at Valley Tram bitas training quarters that afternoon and saw Alex mixing with Valley. . Be ing an expert at Judging the ability of fighters, Fahie immediately saw the wonderful possibilities in Alex and called him aside for a quiet little chat, which resulted in Alex' placing himself under Fahie's management. The rapid rise of Alex Tramitas is best told in Fahie's own words. "I saw the youngster boxing with his brother and he appeared to me to bo a natural boxer, but his shoulder was bothering him. 1 sent him to a doctor for treatment. He was very young, but I saw the natural ability he possessed and decided to assist him in any way possible in order that he might prop erly display his boxing ability. "He was a young schoolboy and graduated from the Creston Grammar School. Owing to the large Tramitas family, be was forced to go to work to assist in their support. He devel oped boxing so rapidly for a youngster that I allowed him to go on at the Armory, where he boxed a four-round curtain-raiser, getting a decision over Kid Brookes. Record Is Good. "He weighed 93 pounds the night he boxed Brookes, but he took on weight rapidly after he was in training a while. He has been resting around the 133 pound mark and I think he is destined to finish his ring career at that weight. Alex has had 17 fights and his last one with Muff Bronson gave Port land fight fans an inkling of his abil ity as a boxer. "1 will look after him and see that he is not shoved along too fast. Every penny he nas received so far has gone toward the support of his mother, brother and sisters, and he has been a good example of what all young boys fchould be. Trambitas' ring record follows: Kid Brookes (decision), four rounds: Sam my Gordon (draw), four rounds; Sam my Gordon (draw), four rounds; Sam my Gordon (draw), four rounds; Kid Pluto (decision), four rounds; Joe Sax (knockout), three rounds; Sammy Bloom (knockout), two rounds; Earl Zimmerman (knockout), two rounds; Kid Weston (draw), six rounds; Wel don Wing (draw), six rounds: Eddie Gorman (decision), eight rounds: Jim my Moscow tdecislon), six round; Lee Johnson (draw), 10 rounds; Joe Gor man (decision), three rounds; Peter Mitchie (decision), six rounds; Chet Neff (draw), four rounds; Muff Bron son (decision), six rounds. WILLAMETTE TEAM PRAISED Coach Mathews Proud of Record of Salem School's Eleven. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., Dec 8. (Special.) Although Wil lamette's football season was short, it was successful. In the last game of the season the heavy Post Hospital Corps team, of Vancouver, was defeated by 20 to 0. Coach Mathews said that he was more proud of this team than any he had ever been associated with, because the men were hard workers and fought every minute of every game. . Motorboat Club Notes.

BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRAl cial.) I cific Ci AN FRANCISCO, CaL, Dec. 8. (Spe- Faculty members of the Pa- Coast Conference want it distinctly understood, that in elevating wrestling to the level of other major sports, they are by no means throw ing the hooks Into boiMng, which is still a minor sport as such sports go in colleges. Some of the learned gentlemen, who met in secret session in San Francisco one day this week, on announcement of the increased prestige that will ac crue to wrestling, explained the situ ation. It seems that boxing, except with the University .of California and Stanford, Is taboo. So the conference folks could hardly make it a major sport. But the boxers can hope for the best, since one of the faculty men re marked: "We are not- as yet able to make much of boxing. Perhaps some day it will be one of our sports. Our plan Is to . elevate sports as they come up in prominence. Hence the move on be half of wrestling. We are also boost ing soccer football in the Northwest and that may sooner or late be made a major sport." Which settles the question once for all as between wrestling and boxing. From a professional standpoint, boxing of course has the call, but not so with the colleges of the Pacific Coast. It's a liberal education to get into a meeting of graduate managers and coaches of the Conference colleges when they' are in the throes of naming football dates. Such a gathering took place at the St. Francis Hotel this week and it was full of fun if not re sults. And here is the way it lookd: Hunt, of Washington How about it Stroud, are you going to bring your California team to Seattle for a Thanksgiving day game with us? Stroud That's the agreement . of course, but I don't see how we're going to make any money. Why don't you come to Berkeley again In view of war conditions and all that? Hunt (veering off to an oven more delicate subject) Well Tiffany, does Oregon want a date with Washington? Tiffany (with frozen politeness) Sorry, old man. but I don't see how we're going to make It. We have con tracts that call for other games and our hands seem full for. the season. Bohler, of Washington State Well, well. Here, we are the champions of the Conference and we can't get any games. 'Looks as if we are going to be up against it for a Thanksgiving day game. Honestly we've got a lot of criples and nobody needs to be afraid of us. . It was diplomatically suggested that perhaps University of Southern Cali fornia would be open for bids and Bohler was headed off. Then followed a clash between those two old rivals, Oregon and the Oregon Aggies. This year the teams played In Portland. O. A. C. wants the game on home territory next FalL Coach Pipal I don't see how we can have the nerve to charge our students $5 ' per. season ticket unless the big game is played this year at Corvallls. ! BEAVER CAPTAIN LEADS SEC- $ 0D BASEMEN. I if?- ' Vv It - .,.7--rCl ji It; ' - V 1 i -'- o n - . 'it Bill Rodgtrl. SBill Rodgers, captain and sec- I ond baseman of the Portland 2 ! Beavers, was high man at second base during the 1917 season. In 158 games he made 320 putouts J and ED3 assists, with 36 errors, t I for an average of .958. J t .....i We folks must have a break now and then. Tiffany No argument a-talL If we play at Corvallls there isn't going to be enough money to pay streetcar fares. Take the game to Portland and we'll all be fat. And so it went for the better part of two hours. After which Stroud, of California, suggested a postponement of. further hostilities until the next morning, thereby giving the managers and the coaches a chance to study matters out for themselves. . Some of the enthusiasts seem to feel there is a chance for California and Stanford to get together for football. They point out that Coach Wilson, of St. Mary's, the chap who was success ful in taking a small amount of ma terial and winning from California, has quit St. Mary's and that he did so be cause he saw an opportunity to get a job with the Cardinal. ' "Do you think Wilson would have come north or that he would have quit at St. Mary's without knowing what the future has in store for him," is the way these folks argue. Wilson already is the basketball and baseball coach at Stanford, and doubt less this employment has given rise to the story that he is to take charge of an American football team for the Cardinal. Of course we have had denials on top of denials from the Stanford faculty men, and personally, I doubt very much whether there is any chance for American football at Stanford. Par ticularly does that appear to be the case with the country engrossed in war. tIf It were not. for the war some of the Stanford grads might interest themselves to the extent of bringing about a resumption of athletic rela tions. As it is, there are so many mat ters of bigger moment that interfer ence of the necessary- sort is not apt to come. Nobody seems to know what is going to happen in baseball; not even Henry Berry who returned the forepart of the week from a trip to his brother's shooting preserve at Live Oak. Sacra mento has failed to make answer on the question of taking over the Port land team, and Fresno, waiting on Sac ramento, is naturally keeping quiet about future promises. "I don't know what will happen," said Berry. "Personally I do not be lieve that Portland will be in the league, but I question whether any de cision will be reached before our meet ing in Los Angeles December 17. Sac ramento is unreasonable if it expects to get the franchise for nothing. It is true the league might grant a fran chise, but it certainly couldn't take Judge McCredie's players away from him, and players now cost money. "I would not favor voting the fran chise away from Portland if the Mc Credies object. If they want to stick in with us and take their percentage of the losses, I am satisfied. I know Cal Kwing feels the same way about it; so I don't believe there is any chance of McCredie losing his rights. "A letter has come to me from Fresno that looks mighty encouraging. The Fresno folks tell me they are pre pared to go ahead in case Sacramento balks. Fresno has always looked good to me." Portland folks may have a chance to see Battling Ortega in the ring soon. Tommy Simpson has despaired of land ing sufficient matches to keep his welterweight busy in this section and is considering an offer to send the Battler into the Northwest for a few matches. Tommy declares he is going to be mighty reasonable on the score of "medals." There is just one thing that may interfere. Harry Fol?' is trying to figure out a scheme to match Ortega with Joe Rivers for a battle in San Frajicisco. While Rivers would be giv ing away a lot of weight. Bob Laga says that he Is willing to concede ten pounds. I don't see how Rivers can af ford to do that, especially as he has not been going well. Joe lost to Johnny McCarthy at Reno and after that lost on .-. foul to Bobby Waugh in Silver City, N. M. Ortega is going great guns these days and it will take more than Joe Rivers to beat him. R. M. Hardy Joins Marine. Robert M. Hardy, a Portland boy, son of W. H. Hardy, now in Japan lec turing, the last living living survivor of the Perry Expedition to Japan in 1852, has joined the Marines. Mr. Hardy won the welterweight championship of the state in 1914 when he won the decision over Frank Parslow of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in three rounds.- Hardy lft last night for the marine training camp at Mare Island, CaL, with thirty six others- I SCHEDULES ARE STUDIED IAiTKRCOLLEtilATE BASKETBALL AND WHK9TL1.G NEAR.

Sched ules for this year's intercollegiate bas ketball and wrestling are now being considered by the various boards of control and will be arranged on the championship basis. Oregon and Wash ington state champion teams will play after the University of Oregon and Ore gon Agricultural College have met and Washington State College and the Uni versity of Washington have had con tests. The Northwest will not play the California schools. No intercollegiate baseball games will be possible for Oregon Agricultural College with the exception of one. per haps, with the University of Oregon. Washington State College and Wash ington will not compete in intercol legiate baBebalL Dr. A. D. Browne, who has just returned from the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast confer ence, states that California and Stan ford will have no Intercollegiate games in baseball. He also says that there has been a great curtailment of sports by all schools owing to war conditions. However, Intramural games and games with Army and Navy teams probably will be played by the schools. Dr. Browne visited at Stanford and the University of California before re turning north. He found that Oregon Agricultural College has better equip ment for general work, excluding bleachers, than have the southern uni versities. The gymnasium space and Armory are larger at Corvallls. Much reorganization of athletic work has been necessary at all of the Pacific Coast schools since last year, and as time goes on it is expected that the conditions will be modified still further. GAMP LEWIS WINS, 53-0 FORT STEVENS ELEVEN WHOLLY OUTCLASSED IX CONTEST, McKay la Star. Maklnar SO-Yard R Shortly After Opening of Game. Sharpe AIo Plays Well. CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma, Wash., Dec 8. The Camp Lewis all-stars easily trimmed the Fort Stevens, Or., eleven at Camp Lewis here today 5a to 0. The game marked the dedication of the new Lewis field. The game was a Camp Lewis procession from start to finish, with Fort Stevens making first d,own but twice. "Midget" McKay opened up with an 80-yard end run- shortly after the first whistle, that scored- the first touch down. He was injured shortly after and Roy Sharpe, ex-California "U" half back, took his place and proved a reve lation on the offensive. He tore off many long gains. Lowell Romey, for merly of Utah, played the full game at right half for the winners and his dashing end runs were a feature of the game. The Camp Lewis team eased up in the second half and Coach Stan ton had a string of substitutes in the game at the final whistle. Summary: Camp Uwli (5:i) Pos. t. Stevens li) McKinney ....UK LT...

Henigan Wins Cross-Country Run. BOSTON, Dec 8. James Henigan. of the Dorchester Club, the Nation '. ama teur cross-country champion, today successfully defended his title as New England amateur 10-mile champion. He led a field of eight runners over the course in one hour 5 1-5 seconds. Heni gan -nnouneed that this was his last appearance In athletic competition, as he inten ed to enlist in the Army. President Hadley. of Yale, predicts a series of wars if the allies do not win the present struggle. Experiments Show Batsmen Begin to Strike at Ball When It Is 9.24 Feet Distant Swing Requires .042 Second. Frank B. Gilbreth, an efficiency ex pert of Providence, R. I., recently made some tests as to the speed of a thrown ball. The results of these tests show that the average speed attained by a fast pitcher is about 2.4 miles a minute. Previous experiments in baseball speed have been conducted along the line of electric controls. Mr. Gilbreth devised something entirely new and it is probable that his work will be greatly extended. Behind the catcher he had a black board measured off in squares. There also was a clock with one hand which made six revolutions a second. Moving pictures of the various stunts wero then taken and the position of the clock hand on the blackboard enabled him to count the time required by noting the difference in the position of the hand. Gilbreth found some exceptionally fast pitchers, who delivered the ball at the rate of 2.88 miles a minute. In that case the batter occupied .042 sec onds in swinging at the ball, but the most surprising point is that the photo graphic machine showed that the bat ter began to swing on that fast one when it was 9.24 feet away from him. When the . mathematics of pitching are brought home in such forcful man ner the wonder is not that there is so little hitting but that there is so much.
