TO STUDY SPORTS
Many Vital Questions Are to
Be Discusesd at Conference
Friday in New York.-
CHANGES ARE PROBABLE
Football, With Its Immense Finan
cial Returns, Professionals as
Coaches and Other Subjects
Will Be Scanned Carefully.
BY JAMBS J. RICHARDSON.
Every branch of college athletics is
going to be raked over the coals at
the annual meeting of the National Col
legiate Association in New York next
Friday. The officials of the associa
tion are most urgent in their requests
that the faculty committees of- every
school In the United States send rep
resentatives to the annual gathering
and Dr. A. D. Browne, physical director
at Oregon Agricultural College and
secretary of the Pacific Coast confer
ence, left Friday night for New York
to represent the Western institutions.
Faculties) Not Shunned.
The conference promises to be the
most important in the history of col
lege sports. The war has opened the
eyes of a majority of the faculty com
mittees to the great need of genuine
athletics for all students. The war
has been the means of working a
closer understanding between students
and faculty committees. Today, the
mind of the student is not prejudiced
againxt faculty committees assuming
control of athletics. This situation was
not possible under the old order of
athletic affairs.
We can remember in the days when
Heck was a pup that a faculty mem
ber was as welcome on an athletic
board of control as the diphtheria or
smallpox. The feeling that each fac
ulty member, was directly opposed to
all forms of intercollegiate sports was
so deeply intrenched in the minds of
the collegians that they refused to
consult or take advice from the fac
ulty on many matters which undoubt
edly would have added wisdom to their
rulings.
Football Is Saved.
The National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation demonstrated to the athletic
world that it. was deeply devoted to all
forms of sport when it came to the
rescue of football in 1905. If the gov
erning body had failed to come to the
rescue of the gridiron sport nothing
would have saved-it.- Had the rrn .flift
watched over the mental welfare or
theF various student bodies been other
than broad-minded and thorough
sportsmen, all forms of athletic tickets
might have been punched full of holes.
When the darkest clouds were hang
ing over the horizon it was then that
the National Collegiate Association
called together the foremost athletic
and faculty members in the country,
and after deliberating for considerable
time, decided to eliminate the objec
tionable features from the gridiron
sport and placed it on probation for
one season. It was unanimously agreed
by those who attended the consolida
tion meeting that this one act pre
served the great college sport from hit
ting the rocks.
Sport la Saved.
It was plain to be seen that had
either body been composed of other
than true sportsmen football, as well
as a majority of other collegiate games,
might have (suffered a blow from which
they never would have recovered. It
was this unprejudiced action b the
various faculty members at this con
solidation meeting that wiped away
much of the feeling against faculty
committees controlling collegiate
sports.
Every college or university of prom
inence In the country has recognized
the advantage of having faculty su
pervision over all forms of athletic en
deavors. Football and its faults will come in
for the main argument at Friday's
meeting in the big city. The immense
gates, coaching, training, traveling ex
penses, etc., connected with the grid
iron game have gotten- this particular
and most Important branch of college
athletics into hot water.
A majority of the faculties of the
vountry voice the opinion that football
must be curtailed or collegiate ath
letics must stop. The great amount
of what the faculty members term "un
necessary expense" of maintaining a
football team that can measure up in
any way with the leaders of the game
seems to be the thorn in the side of the
gridiron sport.
Economy Is Needed.
No doubt the experience of the past
months has opened the eyes of the
college representatives that athletics.
In order to thrive and prove beneficial
to all students instead of a favored few,
must be conducted along more eco
nomical and broader lines.
The meeting in New York Friday is
sure to be one of the most important
in the history of sports. It is very apt
to mark the turning point In many of
the present-day methods of developing
American intercollegiate champions.
ARLETA JUNIORS VICTORIOUS

I Friday night by a score of 34 to 12.

SOUTH PARKWAY JUNIORS WIN
Arleta First Team Is Defeated by
Close Score of 17 to 15.
The South Parkway Juniors played
the Arleta first team Friday night,
winning from the heavier aggregation
by the margin of one basket. The
core was 17-15. The Parkway boys
NAT UNA
BODY
averaged 125 pounds, while Arleta was
much heavier.
The close of the first half found the
Parkway players leading by a score'
of 7 to 2. Gurian shooting three basket
and Dubinsky converting: a foul. The
second half opened with a rush, Thomp
son, ex-Franklin High player, shooting
two field baskets for -the Arletans. The
Parkway quintet then shot another
basket, but Arleta forged into the lead
by shooting four baskets in. succession.
Just at the close of the game the West
Siders managed to regain their lead by
a narrow margin.
A peculiar instance of the game- is
that Gurian made all the Parkway's
baskets in the first half, and Dubinsky
all in the second half. Thomas and
Thompson starred for Arleta.

Wiljiam C. "Bill" Block, one

he has ventured.
Block Is at present quartered

At the recent Pacific North
west championship tournament
held at Seattle Block annexed
five firsts and two seconds, prac
tically making a clean sweep of
the tournament.
A right hook to Leonard's chin made
him totter, a left hook thre,w him back.
Leonard suddenly became slow of foot
and slow of hand. He was only partly
able to defend himself as Cline rushed
and fought hard. Cline landed many
blows and landed them with a snap,
while Benny talked protestingly to the
referee. Benny's face was flushed and
he wan scowling, but his arms and
legs were like lead, and when he tried
to lash out with a righthander the
blow wouldn't have crippled a cream
puff. It looked as if Benny might be
knocked out. . But Benny weathered
the storm."
Mike O'Dowd, middleweight cham
pion, defeated Billy Kramer in six
rounds at Philadelphia the other night.

Sammy Good, the -Portland welter

to Dave Meekin, an Australian boy, at

mitted or not.

SEATTLE'S FIGHTING
FIREMAN
STARRING
Steve Reynolds Hanging Up
Coast Championship Mark
by Knockout Route.
LIGHT HEAVY SHOWS CLASS
Reynolds' Performances In Prize
ring Remarkable, Due to Fact
They Required Only 5 Minutes .
22 Seconds of 111-) Time. .
SEATTLE, "Wash.. Dec. 22. (Spe
cial.) A knockout record which will
keep the dopesters busy for some time
to come has been hung up bv Steve
Reynolds. Seattle's "fighting fireman.
In his last four contests the Seattle
firefighter has won them all by the
good old K. O., and the speed with
which Steve put his opponents away is
making his friends believe that he will
cut a large figure in light heavyweight
circles.
Reynolds' performances are remark
able in that it has taken the fireman
just 5 minutes and 22 seconds of ac
tual fighting to win all four of his
bouts. Steve's friends believe that the
following K. O. record is unparalleled
In the history of the game:
Knocked out Joe Swain, Portland,
two rounds.
Knocked out Army Welsh, Spokane,
in one minute.
Knocked out Joe Madson, Montana,
in 12 seconds.
Knocked out Frank Farmer, Tacoma,
in 10 seconds.
Reynolds pilots a big chemical wagon
down Seattle's streets in answer to
fire calls, but while waiting for some
thing to burn up Steve practices his
K. O. wallop on a punching bag at the
fire station. Reynolds has been a dub
fighter around town for several years,
but not until lately has he shown class.
And the acquisition of a good, two
handed wallop is the explanation of
his sudden burst into fame. Reynolds
was never known to knock anyone out
until he discovered that he could hit.
Steve proved it when he put away Joe
Swain, the Portland butcher boy, a
couple of months ago. And then Steve
picked up confidence. His next start
was against Army Welsh, a tough
heavyweight, who has met most of the
big fellows in this section. Steve put
him away in 60 seconds. Then Joe
Madson, a big Montana heavy, climbed
Into the ring with Reynolds, and he
was all through fighting In just 13
seconds.
After his "" , V'- lpr',f,fi.J pi c-vo toirl
the world that none could beat him.
Ha told his manager, Caruso Dan Salt,
to get the toughest battler in the
Northwest. And Dan matched him
with Frank Farmer." the Kapowsin
logger, who a few nights before had
all but knocked out Northwest Cham
pion Chet Mclntyre. Farmer had
trimmed the Seattle man several times
before, but it wasn't the pame Steve.
Reynolds caught the visitor with a
left hook and put him away in 10 sec
ands of the first round, making it four
straight.
Now Reynolds has been matched with
Mclntyre for the title. Chefs friends
think the champion will jab Reynolds
all over the ring but Steve declares
he will stretch his K. O. list to five
straight.
Which cities will have clubs In tho
Northwestern league is the problem
which is occupying the minds of fans
around the circuit, now that Portland
has become a member of the family.
No one knows, not even League Presi
dent Blewett, but there la a lot of in
teresting gossip going the rounds.
While not one league official has
stated so, it is known that there will
be a movement launched at the coming
meeting to vote Vancouver out of the
league. Bob Brown is a heady man
ager, but the fiery Canadian leader has
been unable to attract the' fans in as
large numbers as expected, and it is
nots improbable that Vancouver will
have to quit until the war is over.
Baseball has failed to attract much at
tention in the Canadian city for two
seasons, and it is believed here that a
strong effort will be made to give the
Vancouver fans a rest for a year or so.
President Blewett declares that he'
will fight for the retention of Butte
and Great Falls in the circuit next
Spring. Just what the other officials
think of the matter is not known, but '
Blewett says that he believes the Mon
tana cities proved last Summer that
they can support clubs, and that they
should be retained next season. If it is
decided to keep these two cities, it is.
almost certain that Vancouver will be
given the gate, as it has been proved
that Aberdeen, the most likely city to
be added in case the circuit included
eight clubs, cannot support a team.
Therefore the advance dope points to
the following cities as "franchise hold
ers next Spring: Great Falls, Butte.
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.
That Portland will have Lester
Patrick as manager of the hockey team
this Winter,, is the gossip which is
whispered in Seattle. Pete Muldoon,
the Met's manager, is mum on the
subject, but since Spokane has been
dropped, the elder of the Patrick
brothers is a free lance, and It is cer
tain that either Seattle or Portland
will obtain his services. And as there
is no reason why Muldoon should quit
the Seattle team. It seems probable
that Lester Patrick will take the job
as leader of the Rose Buds.
It is not believed that either of the
Patrick brothers will take the ice this
season. Frank has already stated that
he was absolutely through, and Lester
is known to be over-weight and anx
ious to quit the game as a player. In
case he went to Portland, he would act
as bench manager.
ORPCT TO COACH LINCOLN
Member of Faculty of Rival School
to Handle Quintet.
The Lincoln High School athletlo
board has appointed Don Orput, a
member of the Washington High fac
ulty, to coach the Cardinal basket
ball team this year. The two schools
are in separate leagues, so no trouble
will arise regarding a faculty mem
ber of one school acting as coach, at
a rival institution.
Orput himself is a crack basketball
player, and. with the material at hand,
it would 'hot be surprising to see Lin
coln take the Amerlr. division pen
nant. He is a graduate of the. Univer-.
ity of Oregon,
