Four teams In each league have mads their debut, with tha result of several good game for so early In tho season. Tha Christian Brothers team In League A have yet to make their 111 appearance, whtla Lincoln High School in Lea rue B will start its season next Tuesday against Com xnerce. Tha only team to show any pre- aeason form was Coach "Tick" Ma larkey's Columbia Prep School quintet. who trimmed Washington. 17 to 1 Tha blue and whita basket tossers played the best brand of basketball dls played this year, and will be strong contender for the ehamplonr-hlp Leacue A. Tha Columbia-Franklin came next Friday should be a thriller. Colmbla has two guards in Fred Allen and Bert Jacobberger that will make the other teams in the league step to make many field baskets off of them. The playing: of Allen against Washington Friday waa a revelation, and if he keeps up his stride it will ba impossible to keep him off of this year'a all-star team. Allen made all star guard in tha Interscholastlc Leaarue two years ago. and his come back after ores a years rest waa a (rest success. Vaalaa-taa Teaaa Fas. The Washington quintet played a good fast same against Columbia and should rive Franklin and Benson strong argument. Tha Washington tam la weak In one or two spots, but a few mora weeka of playing should put all of tha playera In tip top form and give them their basket eye In a game. Franklin made aa impressive show ing against Benson, defeating the Tech school boys. IX to . Franklin, like Columbia, la also well supplied with a couple of good guards In Brown and Tucker, while the Franklin forwards have proven themselves good basket shooters. Franklin will get the arid test against Columbia next Fri day, and if they can tnlm tha prep school warriors they will hare easy palling until they meet Christian Brothera. Benson Tech did not show much against Franklin last week, but may develop aa tha season goes on. The Christian Brothers team is the "dark horse" of League A. and. accord ing to p re-season games and advance notices, they have one of the best tams In tha city. Friday night the f. R- B- C. squad beat the crack South Parkway team. IS to 2. The South Parkway quintet has defeated every team that they have met this sesson. and have been claiming the champion ship of Oregon, so it looks like the Christian Brothers Business College has some team.

I nave just unisnea a long chat with "Bill" Rodgers, the new manager of the Sacramento Sen ators. '3111" Is all worked up on this Sacramento proposition. He feels the responsibility of his new position, and he Is bound and determined to give his ownera a good run for their coin. Rodgers passed through San Francisco thia week on an automobile trip that will take him to Los Angeles. "It'a a close-to-the-g;round excur sion" for Bill. He wants to talk with the fans and the magnates and every body else; wanta to find out how they feel about matters In general, and then feels that he will have a better general Una on matters. "I hope to give Sacramento a pennant-winning club," aald the little fel low In his quiet way. "But of course that'a something that wa can't depend upon. This much, however, is a sure shot Sacramento will have a fighting ball club. That'a something I have al ways Insisted on. I don't care how far behind my club may be, I want them fighting Just the same. "Let's figure that you and I are fans. We go out to the ball grounds and see the visiting club take a lead of eight or nine runs. That will happen In the best regulated families. Now the ordinary pitcher will say to himself, "Oh, well, what's the use of worrying? We have lost this game and I might as well save my arm.' T don't want that feeling on my team. The fans don't want it. They are going to look for a fighting team. It haa a good effect on the fellow who pays hia two bita and a good effect on the team. Now, aa I have said. I may not be able to produce a pennant winner, but tha boya will be fighting." On hta way to San Francisco Kodirers stopped and had a chat with BUI Steen. who la managing the Pittsburg club In tha Oaklnnd East Bay League. Bill admita that he would like to have Steen aa a Sacramento pitcher and figures he haa a chance to hook up with tha former Seal hurler. Here's another thing, while we are on tha subject. Rodgers vows that he will stay by the salary limit- He ad mits that sometimes It will be a tough proposition, but says that Is the one request made of him by his club own ers. And Rodgers has so much regard for tha men at the head of his team he intenda to go as far only as they say. The new manager already has picked the Los Angelea and Salt Lake clubs aa the ones that are going to be hard to beat. He thinks these teama have suffered less In loss of men than the other aggregations, and that It isn't going to be aa much work for them to build up. He admita that Sacramento la far from being a finished ball club, but lntimatea that he expects to land lot of outside talent and some Cali fornia novices aa well that will keep him In the running. . e The San Francisco Seals started to send out contracts this week. Jerry Downs Is the guilty party and an swers yes when you ask him If con tracts are in for k alashlng. Jerry says It can't be helped and adds that if the ballplayers atop to reason they will realise the necessity of accepting the new state of affalra without criticism or talk' of holdouts. I didn't remind Jerry that once upon a time he waa a San Francisco player. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored, and Downs prob ably looks at matters in a different light now that he is the team manager lnatead of simply a ballplayer. x San Francisco is mighty quiet In a fight way. When Tommy Simpson left for the north with his fighters he took 11 tha pep out of affalra pugilistic There waa nothing stirring for the al lied promoters of San Francisco, who are not of tha sort to be up and doing. It Is unlikely that anything will be stsged in the tented arena in Emery ville before Simpson's return and the last word from Tommy was not to look for Mm until well after the first of the month. A rest ought to do the game good. At all handle affairs his club would probably be a loser. Besides there are no strong attractions. Marty Farrell, who might have staged a comeback, failed to put in an appearance when his presence was required, and that crabbed the pa rade. It was Intended to match Farrell with Al McCoy, of Brooklyn, who was in duced to make the long trip from the southland Just for that purpose. McCoy arrived and then nobody could find Far rell. He seems to have disappeared into thin air. and the chances are he has left for the East to Join his old- time manager. Jack Kearns. Now McCoy has had to right about face. He has been offered a bout in San Diego on January 30. After that he will come to San Francisco and it there is nothing doing here or in Emeryville will continue on to the Northwest. Bobby Evans, of Portland, and Dan Salt, of Seattle, have promised the Brooklynite matches and he "also has hopes of landing in Brooklyn. McCoy, having been advertised as the middleweight champion of the world no matter what our personal opinions may be is bound to attract more or less attention from the sports of the Northwest, who will want to see for themselves Just how much or how little he knows. see There is weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth with the local four round promoters. They have tried the scheme of using local talent and find It can't bo done successfully; or, at least, that Is their report. They are protesting once more that Tommy Simp son, of Oakland, haa the edge because he is permitted to use outside talent. Once more the figures are being com piled to prove to Captain Dan O'Brien just how much San Francisco money gets away each time there is a Simp son show across the bay. It is the Intention to meet up with O'Brien one of these nights and ask htm to let down the bars and permit, at least now and then, a big show of some sort. Of course bad matchmak ing is responsible in large degree for the poor matchea, but then, too, there is no question but that fighters are lacking. see Moose Taussig, who returned this week with Harry Pelslnger from Ba kersfleld, brought back a story of two old-timers in the oil field section who are well known to fight fans of a few years back. One is Solly Smith, whose home Is in Los Angeles, but who Ms running an oil lease for some chap in Bakersfield. The other is Aurelio (Kid) Herrera, the Mexican light weight, who at one time looked a comer. Kid Herrera was handled by Biddy Bishop, but never got beyond a certain point. Once he was through with boxing, Herrera bought a ranch near Bakers field. He drives In when there are fights or some programme out of the ordinary, but for the most part leads the simple life. Even so, Herrera likes the bright lights and Isn't averse to a dash of high life now and then. Some of you Portlanders may re member Heine Miller, who was cham pion lightweight of the Pacific squad ron at one time. Later when Sailor Miller was out of the ganue as a fighter he started to manage some of the sailor lads who had ambitions of their own. Then Miller quit the Navy and for a time we lost track of him. But recent ly he put in an appearance as a mem ber of the Naval Reserve. Heine is an Ensign and attached to the recruiting bureau. When the Navy wants a few more sailor lads Miller Is sent out to the theaters, where he gives the boys a bit of a talk. They say he is as fluent with the speeehmaking as he was with the glojves. At all evejits, his superiors credit him with being a success in his new line of work. For all that, Heine likes to go to the four-round fights at Dreamland. He was on deck this last Friday night to see the boys In action and recalled old times when he wore the mitts himself. Kosebnd Putter's Inability to "Key Down" Puts Team In Serlou's Pre dlcament and Helps Put Locals In Cellar Position. ICE HOCKEY LEAGCE STANDINGS. -Goals- W T. Pot & .t Seattle 4 3 .571 2i 3 v ancouver 3 -i r.n, it id Portland 3 4 .4HU 20 17 BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Now that Portland is resting com fortably in tho cellar position in the percentage column of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association race for the pennant, it might not be amiss to men tion that the chief reason for said pre dicament can be attributed to no other cause than the inability of a few mem bens of the team to control their tem pers and, incidentally, their hockev sticks and fists when the opposing players purposely try to inveigle the local pucK chasers into a wordy com bat. ' j The loss . of Friday night's sashay with Seattle is chargeable entirely to the inability of players Dunderdale and Harris to control their tempera when opposing players purposely passed remarks about their ability and other assets. The opposition takes delight in tor menting Tommy Dunderdale up to the point of having him take one of those healthy cuts with a hockey stick at the tormentor, which usually happen when the referee has hie optics planted on the peppery Rosebud player and as a result. Tommy is subjected to warm the bench for a thrce-minut period. With Dunderdale out of the game Portland's offense and defense is materially weakened. Dunderdale is a very able player. The fans appreciate his aggressiveness up to a certain point and when h exceeds that limit, which ueually re suits in bis being penalized, he place his team in the serious predicament of being scored on. The opposition know Dunderdale' weakness and pick on the gritty little player, not because of personal anl mosity, but chiefly because of Tommy Inability to take "guff" from anyone. The ueual result is Dunderdale's taking the aggressive physically with the tor mentor on the defensive, and as long as the referee sees only one player doing the mixing Tommy goes to the bench for the usual penalty. Portland Ice hockey enthusiasts ad mire Dunderdale in every respect, both as a player and gentleman. He is one of the most valuable players in the league, because he has his heart and soul wrapped up in the game, but for goodness sake. Tommy, let some otne fellow start the fireworks once in 1 while! Manager Pete Muldoon will take his charges to Vancouver today, where they are scheduled to play the "Mil llonalres" tomorrow night. "Moose' Johnson will be taken along and may Dlay If his injured shoulder is given the O. K. this morning by the club Dhysician. Johnson sat on the players' bench during the Portland-Seattle game and was quick to notice defects in the Rosebuds' playing. Johnson has been playing hockey for 15 years and it was the second time he has witnessea game from the side lines. elimination of all unnecessary expenses, such as training tables, extra coaches and equipment, will mark Brown s athletic policy in the future. NOTRE DAME SCHEDULE FIXED Basketball and Track Contests Are Announced for School. Coach Harper, of Notre Dame Univer sity, at South Bend, Iod., has an nounced the 1918 basketball and track schedule 0 Notre Dame as-follows: Basketball February 1, Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing, Mich.; February 7, Michigan Agricultural Col lege at Notre Dame; February 15, Wabash at Crawfordsville. Track February 23, Illinois at Notre Dame; March 2, Illinois relay carnival, at Urbana; May 18, Michigan at Ann Arbor; June 8, Western Conference. The football dates will be announced in a few days. Purdue and the Army are assured on the calendar. The Great Lakes Training Station team is also In prospect. CO-EDS ARE ACTIVE 0. A. C. Girls' Interest in Ath letics Is Growing. HOCKEY IS PLAYED WOW UNDUE PUBLICITY HURTS TOO MI CH BOOSTING OFTE5 UPSETS BASEBALL PLAYERS. Since August, 1914, the United States has shipped 1.000,000 horses and 600.000 events, without Simpson here to mules to Europe. Charlie Tobin and Eddie Oatman have been playing a brilliant game for the Rosebuds. Tobin never piayea better than ha has this season. If Charlie possessed about 10 or 15 pounds more beef he would be a wizaja wun the hockey sticK. ' . . . Tommy Murray, Portland's goal tendera looks better every game he nlavs. Seattle players fired the puck at Murray last Friday night in machine-gun fashion and Tommy flagged 11 of them until the tnira perioa, h,n someone out a magnet in the net and then well, we are in the cellar now. "Smoker" Harris fractured two ribs when he collided with Lester Patrick In Friday night's hockey game. Harris' injuries were not thought to be more than a few bruises, out ur. Ln omitn yesterday discovered two of the play er's ribs were broken. BROWN CONTINUES ATHLETICS Importance of Physical Prepared ness of Students Recognized. Brown University, in keeping with the wishes of the Government, has de cided to continue athletics as a valu able part of physical preparedness, in spite of the fact that the athletic sea son of the academic year 1917-18 alone will result In the loss of more than $10,000. Practically every athlete of pnpmlnence at the university haa enlist ed. Places on the various teams are given to as large a number of men as possible, most of whom are without previous training. Brown believes that the benefits of wartime athletics should be open to all able-bodied students. A further exten sion of this programme and a stringent OToole, Blackbnrne, Chappell and Rube Marqnard Are Examples Alexan der's Early Career Unspoiled. Too much kind publicity has been exceedingly harmful to many ballplay ers of promise. Conspicuous examples are Marty O'Toole, Lena Blackburne (who gets another trial In the majors this year) and Larry Chappell. So much has been expected of them because of what enthusiastic and hope ful sport scnibes have written, that they found the . task . too great for them. In trying to surpass themselves they have fallen by the wayside. Pitchers in particular .have been hurt by well-meant articles. It took Rube Marquard much time and Manager 11c Graw much patience finally to get by the "J11.000 lemon" title that had been hung on Rube. Grover Alexander, tho great pitcher recently sold to the Cubs, found the other extreme true. He has been an unusually fortunate young man. Lit tie was said about him when he first joined tho Philadelphia club. In fact, so little was expected that he was practically overlooked. Hence, he started in at normal. He had every thing to gain, but no knocks would be flung at him if he failed to make good. No fuss was made when he pitched his first game, nor his second nor fifth. He went at his task in a matter-of-fact way, working easily and naturally. As a result he had more than made good when the scribes, man agers and general public woke up. Red Faber, White Sox pitching star of the wonld's series, the man who won three games from the Giants on the slab, had somewhat the same experi ence as Alexander. Callahan, when he managed the White Sox. thought so little of Faber he wanted to let him go. Only John Mcuraw's desire to land Faber foiled the ex-Sox manager. Then Faber opened the season with out fuss or much publicity, and it was not long before everybody rubbed their eyes and wondered where this latest star dropped from. Fabeii was one of the best in the American League in his first year, and has been great ever since when in condition. Babe Ruth is still another who didn't get the big advance stuff. GRAVATH WISE PLAYER CLEA.V LIVI.VG KEEPS DIAMOND STAR O-V PAYROLL. Despite 35 Years, Gavvy Has Good Rec ord With Bat and No Slarap Is Yet Apparent. If Clifford C. Cravath, the roly-poly black spectacle wearer, who once per formed in a Los Angeles uniform, is not with tha Phils again next year it can't be blamed on any defliciency in his work of the past season. John A. Heydele's new Fall average records the Californian pasting the bulb at a .280 clip. Gavvy played 140 games last season and had 29 doubles triples and 12 home runs to his credit. Yes, the National League pitch ers have discovered Gavvy's weakness. It is between November and March. Cravath has been the big number of the Phils' heavy artillery ever since he joined the team in April, 1912. He cost the owners the price of a wheelbarrow and today they could sell him to a ml nor league club for mors than they paid for him. Gavvy is past the 35-year mark, but California weather and clean living have extended his major league useful ness past the age when the average player withers. The chunky right fielders worst dis sipation is to squander $2 on fishhooks. Ea never stays out later than 10:30 and he couldn't tell the difference between Cassisis cocktail and an Astoria bracer if his life depended on it A wise old guy is Mr. Cravath, who has seen a hundred well-tailored and ukelele-playing outfielders come and go, while he still draws the swollen pay envelope of a lower berth star. Swimming Is Big Activity Since Re modeling of T. 31. C. A. Pool. Indoor Tennis, Basketball and 311 nor Sports Are Played. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 26. (Special.) Hockey and swimming are ' Interesting the co-eds of O. A. C. just now, and both sports have a large following. Women's athletics are being strongly emphasized through a wide variety of games for the semester. The hockey players, who have been practicing for the past few weeks, will play off a series of games to finish up tho season. Varsity players will meet second-team girls in the college arm ory. A large number of girls have turned out for the game, so that much good material is available. During the early part of the season the game was played outdoors. The list of varsity squad members in cludes Zetta Bush, Katherine Howells, Nellie Poison. Fay Carver, Florence Burnap, Ella Bechen, Margaret Turner, Helen Elkins, Margaret Jones, Edith Lindsay, Alta Mentzer. Fay Benson, Ruby McLagan. Eva McLagan. Martina N'eal, Lois Dome, Florence Holmes. Ruth Wolfe, Selta Fiske. Grace Max well, Minna Ash, Eva Kelly, Elsie Gib son, Esther Spitzbart Linnette Sven- son and Genevieve M6ore. Miss Laura Campbell, of the physical education department, is coach. With the opening of the remodeled Y. M. C. A. pool, swimming has begun for the college women. Although the tank opened late in the season the girls will hold interclass meets early in April and will meet the University of Oregon If plans can be completed. The pool is small and it is difficult to practice any fancy diving, but relays, form in the crawl, side stroke, breast and back are practiced, and plunge for distance and speed are being worked up. Several members of the varsity squad of last f ear again are swimming. The freshman class doubtless will furnish material for the team. Interclass basketball games have been scheduled and several already have been played by the girls, who are coached by Miss Eva Brunell. Although many are out for the game, a relatively small number are veterans and there is much organization work to be done. An interesting series of games is planned for the basketball girls. Indoor tennis has been played by several players representing their classes in small tournaments. Roth the armory and the women's gym nasium have been used for this pur pose. These indoor tournaments are preliminaries to the Spring outdoor se ries that will be played. Several new courts were added to the campus last year, thus giving a large number of students an opportunity to play. Minor sports have each a following. There is considerable interest in volley ball, which Is played in gymnasium classes and a small number have played soccer. Esthetic and folk dancing are ex tremely popular among the college girls. Awards in dancing are given at the end of the year to the girls who have made the most progress. Archery is another sport in which may girls take part. In clear weather the target is set up on the lower campus and a crowd of girls gather to shoot. In the East archery is on a par with big athletic games for women, and It promises to claim many follow ers at O. A. C. Walter Fovargue, who recently fin ished reconstruction work on the Sko kie Country Club course, has been busy on the Victoria Golf Club links, at Riv erside, Cal. He has constructed grass greens at all the holes and the Victo ria club will be the first in Southern California to provide putting greens on a par with those of the Eastern courses. The circuit- measures 632U yards in length. GOLFERS SEND AMBULANCES "orty-Four Clubs Will Have Names Attached to Automobiles. The names of 44 golf clubs in the United States will be attached to am bulances in France, which means that the Metropolitan Golf Association has been able to accomplish what it origi nally set out to do. George H. B. Barnes, the association's treasurer, re ceived a letter from Major C. H. Con nor, of the American Red Cross, stating that arrangements have been made for the name plates for the machines. There will be all told about 100 cars with plates. Some of the clubs will be represented by more than one. A small portion of the money will be used to purchase truck3 for transportation work in connection with supplies for the ambulances. It is stated that the ambulances would cost, including freight charges, in the neighborhood of J600 each. The-'; trucks cost nearly J2000. THORPE HAS WEAK WRISTS Big Athlete Will Not Take Chance in Boxing Arena.
