lrhe nine puck-chasers signed up to
represent the Portland club In the Pa
cific Coast Hockey League have been
gra-thered tog-ether after a search for
class A material throughout the Do
minion of Canada and the United States.
The majority of the players originally
came from Canada, but the Portland
team can boast of two American-born
men on the line-up. Ukaila .and Mur
ray both saw the light of day in the
United States. Murray claims Iowa as
his native state and Uksila comes from
Michigan.
Tommy Murray
has been playing
professional hockey
for three years.
Previous to coming
to the Coast Leafue
he played with the
Monarchs of Winni
peg, who held the
Canadian champion
ship in the amateur
ranks. When Mur
ray first came to
the Coast to don
the pads for the
Portland club the
fans looked him over and decided that '
they had a man who was on a par. with
any goalie in the league. Time after
time he has staved off defeat for the
locals by stopping shots which it
seemed absolutely impossible to keep
from sagging the net. He is very cool
and his coaching of the defense helps
materially in keeping the local boys in
front. Murray is 24 years old and be
lieves in single blessedness.
Charlie Tobin Is
another Winnipeg
roduct, but he re
fuses to tell his age.
From knowledge
gleaned from his
fellow players,
Charlie celebrated
his 32d birthday
last Summer. Tobin
started playing
hockey on the froz
en lots in Winni-
.A
t j peg. iiis speea
L. .f.'.,,A brought him into
the limelight and it
was not long before he was playing
with the old Maple Leaves In the Win
nipeg City League. Later he went to
Battleford, where he captained the club
to victory in the Northern Hockey
League. Next season he was with
Moose Jaw as captain. From Moose
Jaw, New Westminster claimed his
services; he was allotted to Portland
along with Oatman and Johnson. Char
lie is a wonderful skater, a beautiful
stick-handler and has a following in i
l'nrtla nfl n f whih a n v othtAfa urnuld ha '
proud.
Clem Loughlin,
who occupies the
position alongside
of Johnson, is a
Canadian and was
born in Winnipeg.
Man., a city which
has produced more
good hockey players
than any other city
in the Canadian ter
ritory. Clem claims
to have seen 23
Summers. Most of
them were spent in
the Prairie City.
He started his hockey career in the
Sunday School League in the city of
Winnipeg. Next season he graduated
into the Mercantile League and the fol
lowing year Billy Kean, the Winnipeg
hockey expert, signed him to play with
the Monarchs in front of Murray. Last
year the Portland management secured
his services and he has proved to be
one of the few finds in professional
hockey circles. Loughlin is also a
southpaw, letting the puck fly from
the port side.
J Tommy Dunder-
dale. the sharp
, shooter of the local
' quaa, is years
oia. ne oroKe into
hockey in Winni
s peg, Man. His great
work around the
nets attracted thn
attention of the
Quebec manage
ment, which made
him such a tempt
ing offer Tnmjnv
Bilv. ,v ' ' i had to shake the
icicles from his feet
and cast-in his lot with the Bulldogs
of Quebec. When the. Pacific Coast
League was organized in 1911 Tomjiy
was induced to come to the Coast and
display his talent with the Victoria
team. For three years it was a race
between Dunderdale and "Cyclone" Tay
lor for the league's scoring honors.
Dunderdale usually managed to nose
out his fast opponent. Dunderdale was
traded to the Portland club in 1S15.
He is the only man in the league who
has been able to get the fadeaway shot.
It is a very hard puck for any goal?
tender to Judge. To all appearances
the puck will be coming on a knee
level with abundance of speed, when
it takes a slow dip toward the ice
surface. Tommy cavorts around the
center ice space.
"Moose" Johnson,
the big defense
player, first saw the
sun under the Can
adian skies at Point
St. Charles, a small
town in the sub
urbs of Montreal.
Moose says he has
passed 34 Summers
and Winters on this
planet. Of these

disc around the ice.
In 1899 Moose broke into hockey with
the Westmount boys in Montreal.' They
were by far the fastest aggregation of
Btick-handlers and puck-chasers play
ing amateur at that time. From the
Westmount team Moose transferred his
services to the. Victorias. In those days
Johnson was on left wing. With his
weight and wonderful reach, it did not
take him long to be established as
without a peer on the line. The Wan
derers of Montreal claimed his services
next.
In 1911 he came to the Coast, playing
with the New Westminster team, which
won the championship of the league. In
1911, when Portland took over the New

. V
-tt Sen cfer.
Westminster franchise in the Coast
League, Moose "was transferred here.
Since coming to Portland he has played
wonderful hockey. In 1914-15 he had
the misfortune to have his jaw broken
and two ribs fractured, but even with
these injuries Johnson continued to
play in order to keep the locals in the
running. This season he expects to be
his banner one. He is a left-hand shot.
Alf Barbour has Kmfyimfr
been playing pro- t , ' ' '
fesslonal hockey for
three years. He
came to the Coast
League from Blalr
more. Alberta. Alf
endeared himself to
the hearts of the
local fans last sea
son and the season
previous, when he
broke up a couple
of overtime games,
which put the Port
landers on the long
end of the score. Since coining to the
Coast he has not been able to do him
self justice, owing to sickness previous
to the opening of the season. This year
Barbour is 100 per cent better man
than the previous season. His work on
the defense has been exceptionally good
and also around the net. It is going to
be a hard job to keep him off the regu
lar line-up. Barbour is a benedict and
his family Bible states he was born in
the year 1893.
Eddie Oatman, the
captain of the lo
cals, is afarmer by
occupation. On a
farm one mile from
Otterville, Ontario,
Oatman can be
found pitching hay
in the Summer and
plowing in the Fall.
He will celebrate
his 29th birthday in
the near future.
Oatman first start
ed playing hockey
or "shinny" on the
pond back of the barn on the
farm. His section school had organized
a team and played against the Otter
ville boys. Eddie was class A of the
section team and the Otterville man
agement signed him to play with their
club in the Ontario Hockey Association.
His natural ability attracted the at
tention of the Simcoe management.
Next season he started off with that
organization, but was picked up by
the Waterloo club, which was at that
time a senior club in the Ontario Hock
ey Association. Oatman's ability was
again shown to such an extent that he
was grabbed by Quebec. The year was
a great one for Eddie. Quebec won
the championship. The following sea
son New Westminster grabbed Oatman
and, when Portland came into the
league, he was chosen to captain the
club. Last year Oatman played in To
ronto with .the Regimental club. This
season he will again captain the locals
to the highest honors.
Charlie Uksila tr"-"
first broke into the
hockey calcium at
Houghton, Mich., In
the Copper Country
League. For years
CharHe was touted
as one of the fast
est amateur for
wards in that part
of the country. He
has a relative in
the shiobuilding

him if he would come West. In the
Fall of 1911 Uksila arrived in Portland
and, when he heard ice hockey was to
be the leading Winter sport in Port
land, Charlie said "good-bye" to the
uncle and the position, and since that
time his name has appeared in the local
sporting columns. He is a hard worker.
a fairly fast skater ana can nil in any
position on the forward line. Charlie is
30 years old.
Fred
Harris,
League
iron," i
Smoky"
the Coast
"man of
i 30 years
old. Kenora, Onta
rio, is his native
dwelling town. Har
ris broke into the
game in the Church
League as a for
ward on the Metho
dist Church seven.
After two games in
-he Church League
Fred caught a place
with the Kenora
3
club in the Manitoba Hockey League.
In 1911 he came to Vancouver for a
tryout and made good right off the
jump. He is without doubt the most
sturdy player in the league. He takes
his bumps with a smile and passes
them out the same way. Harris has
never been known to accuse an oppos
ing player of undue roughness. He sim
ply adapts himself to circumstances.
In 1914 "Smoky" was sold- to the
Portland club and his work since join
ing the club has always been . of the
highest quality. In the world's series
played in Montreal two years ago the
Montreal papers said he was one of the
most dare-devil players ever seen on
the Montreal ice, and when the team
played an exhibition game in Cleveland
all the audience could see was the fly
ing Western wizard of the steel blades.

FARREN IS SIGNED
California Fighter Will Meet
Alex Trambitas January 11.
SOUTHERNER IS STRONG
Pete Mitchie Is Scheduled to Box
"Young" Sam Langford, While
Billie Mascott Will Defend Ti
tle Against Danny Edwards.
George Moore, manager and match
maker of the Golden West Athletic
Club, has signed Frankle Farren, San
Francisco lightweight, to meet Alex
Trambitas in the main event of the
Golden West Club boxing show at the
Eleventh Street Playhouse January lit
Farren is one of the best boys in
California at his weight and has met
every good 133 pounder in that state.
Farren is not a rough and tumble
fighter, but a clever boxer who keeps
coming in and out with his punches.
Alex Trambitas has not fought since
he defeated Muff Bronson and is in
fine fettle for a six-round go. Alex
has been doing light training for the
last two weeks and is always in good
shape. If he beats Farren, Trambitas
will have a good claim to the light
weight championship of the Pacific
Coast. Trambitas and Farren should
put up one of the fastest bouts seen
here in some time, as both boys have
reputations for being fast, clever mix
ers. Farren has succeeded Dick Ken
dall as the lightweight idol of San
Francisco and the Golden Gate City
fight fans says that Trambitas will
have to be a better boy than the best
lightweights they have there to beat
Frankie-.
Pete Mitchie, the battling Dane, will
tangle with "Young" Sam Langford.
San Francisco negro lightweight cham
pion, in the semi-windup. The San
Francisco papers have been hailing
Langford as being one of the best
negro boys seen in action in recent
years. Langford is a fighter and will
get all the battle he wants with
Mitchie. He won 21 straight fights at
the Association Club in San Francisco
and has never been beaten decisively
in his career.
The bantomwelght championship of
the Northwest will be at stake in the
special event. Billy Mascott, title
holder of the Northwest at that weight,
will defend his title against Danny
Edwards, the Oakland negro, who de
feated Abe Gordon and George Bran
don in shipshape style here in his last
two contests. Edwards is about the
fastest boy next to Charley Moy who
has ever appeared here, and the fans
have it doped that he will give Mas
cott a great battle. Matchmaker
Moore is after two other all-star bouts
to fill out his card and has several
good ones In view.
Dolph Thomas, manager and match
maker of the Parkside Athletic Club
of San Francisco, where many big
bouts are staged, will accompany
Frankie Farren to Portland. Thomas
has taken over the management of
Farren and believes that he has a com
ing lightweight champion in the
making.
Packey McFarland has gone to
Washington, D. C, to place his plans
for raising money for the athletic
equipment funds at the various army
cantonments before the War Depart
ment. McFarland wants to box Mike
Gibbons in Chicago in February and
also wants Charlie White, Ritchie
Mitchell. Benny Leonard, Joe Welling
and other topnotchers in the Govern
ment service to tour the camps with
him and meet all comers. He believes
that they could get a neat sum for
Army athletic equipment in a short
time.
Gibbons has signified his willingness
to meet McFarland, and if Governor
Lowden will not allow the bout In Chi
cago, it. probably will be held at Fort
Sheridan on Federal property.
PORTLAND MEN ACTIVE
BASKETBALL . CAPTAIST AT MOUNT
ANGEL FROM HERE.
Other Portland Students Fiirpre
Sports at Catholic College of
Willamette Valley.
MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE, St. Bene
dict, Or., Dec. 29. (Special.) Portland
students are well represented at Mount
Angel College in athletics. At the pres
ent time Captain Classic of the Mount
Angel basketball quintet is a Portland
senior who is holding his own in ath
letic circles. When the call came for
basketball a month ago Classic was
the one lone, veteran of the quint of
last year to appear in the gymnasium.
It is due mainly to his alertness and
excellent shooting that Mount Angel
has won four games this season.
Engerstberger is another "Rose City"
boy' who has won a regular position
on the first team. Although the lat
ter student has never been on the reg
ular team, yet it was impossible to
-!r em
5 EIKLEM.V.V.
keep him off the team this year, due
to his heady team work and aggres
siveness at all times of the game.
Wolfs and Stupel are two more men
who are wearing the basketball suits.
Wolfs is rather small for the first
team, but his steady work will very
likely pull him through the season.
Many of his P6rtland friends were
able to see him play In the recent
Christian Brothers game, when he
played the latter half of the game.
Wolfs and Stupel are subbing on the
College quint.
Classic and Wolfs were the only two
students who were able to hold down
oerths on the Colilege football. Classic
early in the season played center, but
was later transferred to right, end,
where he f.istinguished himself In the
last game of the season when Mount
Angel College beat Salem, 13 to 0.
Koppert. Lestmelster. Metteucci,
Reiehel, Engerstberger and Burkes are
familiar names that ring through the
handball court. When the champion
ship in handball is decided in the an
nual track meet on December 22 Port
land will be well represented and will
be able to hold their own in the pen
nant race.

Referring to my positions above I have
been puzzled ofttimes how problems, were
composed, i. e.. Are they the result of de
liberate intention, or arrived at from Inter
esting combinations? I ask because it has
reference to the manner I composed the
above. A few evenings ago I came across
the following: Black kings 17. 18; white
kings 10. 19. 25. Black to move. White
wins easily. I moved 17-21, placed a black
on 20. This is identical with first problem
Wat fourth move. Again move king 17 to 13,
man on 20 to square 2. black to move.
Now refer to second position, third move.
The " king on 9 in second might as well
have been placed on 17. On 9 to add a little
checker camouflage. 19-15. Place single
piece on 5 and white draws. A form of
Payne's draw, and if white goes 10-14 we
seem to be in the mazes of third position.
It struck me as queer that so simple an ar
rangement of kings given above should re
veal the ground plan of so many of our
famous problems, for I had not before
traced a family resemblance in these
various plays. The third was arrived at
by going the wrong route, 1. e., 18-23, 12-8,
23-20, 8-15, 28-30, 10-. I have Included
it as an instance of thoughtlessly getting

Said to Have Taken Place Only
Twice In League's History. -
The "smoke" screen at the Ice Pal
ace is to be lifted, and battles here

The phenomenon of a heavy fog

clear and the spectators are "above

only twice in the history of the Coast

again," said Manager Muldoon, "but
we've got to be prepared for any
eventuality."

Business Men Advised to Keep

INSTRUCTIONS. ARE GIVEN
Professor Otto Mauthe, Physical Di
rector of Multnomah Club, De- v
Clares That Drinking With .
Meals . Is fnhealthfuK
Professor Otto C. Mauthe, physical
director of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, has' offered some brief
suggestions-to the business man about
keeping In
good physical condition.
The rules are simple in the extreme and
as Professor Mauthe is considered one
of the best practical authorities on
the subject in the .Country, they should
be worth while trying.
The suggestions are as follows:
Drink without eating and eat with
out drinking. -
Five glasses of water a day none
with meals will make you free ot .the
doctors.
A bath, cold if you please, hot if you
muststarts the day right.
If you save your, smoke until after
luncheon you'll never be troubled with
"smoker's heart.'
Nose Breathing Advised.
Wearing the same weight of under
clothing the year-around saves many
a cold.
Dress cool when you walk and warm
when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given to you to breath through.
Clean skin, clean sox, clean under
wear every day,
-ison't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have a chance to change..
Never let a day pass without cover
ing at least four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
while out of doors. ,
Hot water, quick, is the best thing
for a sprain.
Shoes that don't fit cost a lot Jn the
long run.
Getting angry makes ' black marks
on your health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
Walking Is Healthful.
When you rob the trolley company of
a nickel by walking you add a dime to
your .deposit of health.
You'll never get the gout from walk
ing. Sleep 'wooes the physicially-tired
man; she flouts the mentally exhausted.
The best record in golf is the record
the game has made in restoring health
to the middle aged.
Nature never punished a man for
getting his legs tired. She has pun
ished many for getting their nerves
exhausted.
Two hours of outdoor exercise by
the master never made him over-critical
of the cook.
Don't ask the heart to pump extra
blood to the brain all day and then
to an overloaded stomach all night.
Tight shoes have sent many e!' man
to bed with a cold.
Leg weariness never yet produced
brain fag.
Loose clothes, loose gloves, easy
shoes spell comfort and health."
No wise athlete stands still after
exercise without putting something
over himself. '
Open windows don't make half as
many colds as closed ones do. ;
Blood pressure floes not come to the
men who walk a lot out of doors; In
stead, it looks for those who sit and
eat a lot indoors.
Nature won't stand for over-draughts
any more than will your bank.

SEATTLE Wash.. Dec. 29. (Spe
cial.) That the Portland hockey team
is the septet which the other teams
have to beat to win the championship,
is the opinion of Lester Patrick, man
ager of the Seattle club, and members
of the team. The Ttose Buds are given
the best chance to cop the title by Se
attle players, and when Portland opens
the season here next Tuesday the lo
cal 'crew is going to give the visitors
a trimming.
With most of last year's team back
and Pete Muldoon piloting the club,
Seattle followers of the game believe
that the Portland seven will be hard
to beat after they get going. Seattle
fans, have a lot of confidence in the
managerial ability of Muldoon, and
they think that he will steer the club
to one .of the top positions.
The chances of the Seattle aggrega
tion are uncertain. The club has been
brqken up by the loss of "Happy"
Holmes,, goalie, and Captain Foyston,
Jack Walker and Ed Carpenter.
Whether the new nen will make up
for the loss of these stars cannot be
known until the Mets have shown their
wares in a couple of games. However,
Lester Patrick has lots of confidence
in his club. He believes that he has
"a much better aggregation than that
which represented Spokane last season,
and predicts that they will land in one
of the first two positions.
Local fans are looking forward with
great interest to Tuesdny's clash with
the Portland men. Portland has always
been a dangerous rival of the Seattle
septet, and the ice followers know that
a good" scrap will result any time they
get' together. The Mets will try to get
off to a good start by licking the vis
itors Tuesday. However, Portland is
given-, the best chance to win because
of the . fact that they have been
together for weeks, while the Mets
have" had a very short training season.
' .V '. -v , v '
' Baseball fans are awaiting with in-
L,rUllt ,VT ' V 1 II
city. The session is scheduled for Jan
uary 10,' and some important baseball
problems will come up for settlement.
The biggest question which will con
front the moguls is that of the circuit.
How many cities will make up the
league, and which cities they will be
are the two big matters which will
cause the directors much worry be
fore they are settled. That an eight
club league will be in operation next
Spring is the report from some quar
ters. Others believe that six teams are
all thall will start the race. Whether
the Montana cities will be included in
the circuit, and whether Bob Brown'a
Vancouver club will start the season '
are other matters which will come up.
Right now it is only certain that four
cities Portland, " Seattle. Tadoma and
Spokane will start. Whether there
will be any others, and if so, which
cities they will be, is the big question
which the fans are. waiting to have
answered.
"I cannot say what action will be
taken." says the league president, Bob
Blewett, "for the simple reason that
I have no idea. It will take much time
to go over the questions which wil
come up, and no one knows ' which
cities will start the season at the pres
ent time. For my own part, I will
urge that the Montana cities be in
cluded in the circuit. Whether the di
rectors will look at the matter from
this angle or not, I do not know."
Another matter which has been dis
cussed by local fans is that of a Se-"
attle manager. There has been some
talk of Bill Leard returning to the
sttuad. Leard handled the team laBt
season until he went East to try out
with a big league club. He was sent
to the coast,- but there is some talk of
getting him back as manager of the
Giants again next season. He is very
popular here.
That Seattle will have a boxing com
mission patterned after the Portland
commission is probable if one- of the
candidates now up for Mayor is elected.
Ole Hanson, well known in athletic
circles, has stated that he will appoint
such a commission if he is elected. He
is a boxing fan, and is anxious to see
the sport put on a high plane in
Seattle.
The ring fans are seeing first-class
contests at" the present time.- The
Chet Mclntyre-Steve Reynolds bout
Friday night attracted one of the larg
est crowds of the season. The Crystal
Pool, where the show was held, was
packed with ring followers. Just what
the next contest will be is not an
nounced. It is possible that Al Som
mers, the Portland boy who beat Val
Sontag, will be seen in the main go.
