Team to Play Fort Baker and California Uni versity November 0 and 1 . BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Spanish "flu" is being blamed for many things nowadays. But the mal ady Is surely playing havoo with grid iron contests as well as other forma of amusement. The big gridiron battle scheduled for next Saturday on Mult nomah Field between the Oregon Ag gies' regimental eleven and the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club gridiron team may have to be called ott on ac count of the malady, unless Mayor Baker modifies his orders, which at present does not appear likely. Next Saturday's scheduled clash would mark the first appearance in Portland of any co.lege aggregation. The Aggies lined up against Vancouver Barracks yesterday at Corvallis and gave Private "Tick" Malarkey's soldier gridiron stars a good argument and Portland followers of Oregon Agricul tural College as well as enthusiasts of the Winged M club are quite anxious to see the two rival elevens meet next Saturday. If the Aggies are to b. entertained by the clubmen on Multnomah Field it will mark the first appearance on a Portland field of the Aggies' new gridiron coach W. H. Hargiss. Re ports emanating from Corvallis say that Hargiss. who hails from Kansas State Normal College. Emporia. Kan is living up to all the good things that have been said about him. The students at the Corvallis institution, as well as faculty members, are loud in their praise of the new mentor's work. It Is to be hoped that Spanish influ enza will have lost its grip on this city by next Saturday and permit the big game being played. ... When the Oregon Aggies clash with Washington State College on Multno man field. Turkey day. the Corvalli eleven Is going to have a hard row to hoe. provided reports from Pullman are to be taken seriously. Athletic ri rector. red Boehler had over 100 husky soldier-students respond to his firs call for football practice. Boehler ha decided to organize company eleven and each of the four companies will play each other, the first games being scheduled for next Saturday. At the conclusion of the inter-company series the men who have showed the greater promise will comprise the varsity or "regimental" eleven. Boehler says he has some excellent material and that the Oregon Aggies are going to have to step some If they expect to take a fall out of the Wash ington Staters. ... A. little thing like a quarantine of Mare Island because of Spanish influ enza -does not keep the members of the Marines' football squad from practicing every day. Coach Bill Dietz has his first and second string men out each afternoon, and twice a week. Wednes day and Saturday afternoons, they put on a real contest. Last week the sec ond team held the first team to two touchdowns, which Is better than either Goat Island or Camp Fremont dwi with me "devil dogs." The Marines' schedule Is pretty much up in the air. Captain Coovert cannot ell when the quarantine will be lifted. so he does not know when his team ill piny again. The northern tour of the Marines is tentative. No games have been really agreed upon, but the Vancouver Barracks and either tha University of Oregon or Oregon Aggies would be the elevens to give battle to the famous Mare Island aggregation. If the Marines. come north it Is al most assured they will bring their famous band with them. A con cert has been arranged for at the City Auditorium and during the few days previous to the game the musicians will hold forth In different parts of the city. giving vent to their melodies. The Marines have agreed to play Fort Baker at San Francisco. Novem ber 9. and the University of California, November I. but further than that Captain Coovert has made no plana. Bangs, famous Washington State halfback. Is expected to Join tha Ma rines at Mare Island this week. FOREIGN ATHLETES UPHELD COAST PROPOSAL IS OPPOSEft IX EASTETtX STATES. Prominent Association Men Look to Revival of College Sports at - Closa of World Conflict. . NEW YORK. Oct. II. The proposal advanced by the Pacific Coast Associa tion of the Amateur Athletic Cnlon to bar all foreign athletes from future competition In National championship meets finds little favor among Eastern athletic authorities and followers of track and field sports. The concensus of opinion Indicates that It would be a most peculiar action for the Ameri can athletic organization to take. as athletes from the States have for years been the most consistent traveling com petltors and prize-winners. It was pointed out by a prominent A. A. U. authority that there might b. some reason for such a proposal on th part of the Canadian Union, in view of the fact that in past years stront teams from the New York A. C anA the Irish-American A. C. have Jourw neyed to Canada and swept away ever first prize and title at the annual Dominion championships. American athletes also have been prominent winners of titular track and field hoc ors in similar meets in England. Scan dinavla and other European countriea. In every case our atnleies have been welcomed and where they were good enough to defeat the best of the home entrants there was nothing but praisa for their performances. The menace of the foreign athletic Invader Is, furthermore, of little dan ger. Very few have been able in tha past to show their heels to the best of the American stars, as the records of both home championships and Olym pic games clearly demonstrate. It would undoubtedly be an impetus to greater and better effort if a few In vading performers could be found to show the way to our stars. It is the generally expressed opinion that after peace reigns again throughout the world there will be a great revival of International sport -competition. With this thought uppermost in the minds of the delegates who gather for the an nual meeting of the A. A. C. at Phila delphia on November IS. there appears little possibility of the adoption of tha proposed resolution.

First and Washington. BY HARRY B. SMITH. i SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. II. The four round game, as it Is being conducted In Oakland, is in more or less of a tangle these days. And the way things ar. going across the bay. there's always the danger that something might hap pen to the sport not only .in Oakland, but San Francisco as well. The situation is thusly: Krora a professional standpoint. Tommy Simpson, of Emeryville, is the only promoter who has been going full bang since only four-round scraps cave been allowed. More recently Jimmy Rohan, who. In the good old days was associated m-lih the Moffitt brothers in the Tiedmont Club, has shown a tendency to get back into the harness. Now. some few months back there was organized the Shipbuilders' Ath letic Association, composed of repre sentatives from the shipbuilding yards in that section. The boys needed funds for a gymnasium and other essentials, and somebody told them the proper thing was to stage some fights. They did stage fights, and at tha Oak land municipal auditorium. But they didn't make any money. G. M. Glldden, president of the associ ation, had to finance the losing fights, and after he was in about $800 decided be had had enough. ... Rohan has some splendiferous Ideas, if he can put them over. For Instance, he talked over the long distance telephone the other evening with Jack Kearns in Philadelphia. Dempsey and Levinsky are to have their postponed Philadelphia match on October 23, but Kearns has promised Jimmy they will be prepared to leave the next day for the West and can box in Oakland early In November. Rohan would like to use Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavyweight, aeainst Dempsey for the first match and then have a great big card on Thanks giving day afternoon with Dempsey as his strong number. "I don't make any bones of It." said Rohan, "that I regard Dempsey as much the same sort of a spectacular fighter that Ketchel proved himself and I think he will be a strong card In tne west What best proves It Is tnis: benny Leonard, a champion, with all the ad vertising in the world, drew 119.000 In San Francisco. Along came uempsey who had been seen here on a number of occasions, and yet he was good for $17,000. That means the folks out this m- v tike to see him perform." Of course, Simpson is going to be jealous of any progress that Rohan makes across the bay. And it's apt to stir up things in a way we don't care much about. a a a tt Johnny McCarthy Is tha light weight champion of tha Pacific Coast, then Kayo Kruvosky must be the heavyweight four-round champ. Of course, there's Willie Meehan to be con sidered, but we'll rule him out of this little discussion. Knivoikv came home the other night on a hurry-up call from the allies and met Billy Murray. us oaiuti-yj stopped Murray In the third round. In reality he beat him In Just two punches. One was a hard right that closed Mur ray's left eye and fairly blinded him. The other was a left uppercut that al most dropped Fighting Billy. The two punches came In the first half minute of action. Kllly tried to make a showing after that. In fact he did prove himself gam. as a peDDle, but he simply couldn t sea what he was doing. Perhaps he might have lasted, but I rather doubt that. At all events, the house cheered Ref eree Toby Irwin when he stopped tha fight and sent Murray to his corner. Billy tried to protest, but he later ad mitted that Irwin was right in doing as he did. Murray entered the ring with a ban dage around his neck. It seems that he has been bothered with boils. He didn't want to fight, as be was afraid he might break his winning streak. And that's exactly what happened. r or three or four weeks Murray la going to take a rest. He has already been granted a furlough of ten days to harvest the bean crop on his ranch near Petaluma. After that he will box somebody. likely Battling Ortega, at Fort McDow ell on Angel Island. Lieutenant Riley, the athletic officer at Fort McDorelI, is anxious to turn boxing promoter. He wants to stag Murray versus Or tega, and has secured the permission of his commanding officer. Colonel McGunlgle. It Is said there Is an arena on tha island that will seat some 1500 peo ple. Government tugs will take such San Franciscans as desire to make the tnip and they will enjoy some thing of a novety. Considering the way Kruvosky beat Murray it woud probaby be a stronger csrd to use the Ksyo. But the soldiers seem to want to see Corporal EJMjr and Ortega. . . ' e Marriages are getting to be the big things with our fighters. Pinny Ed wards, the colored scrapper from Oak land, who is quick as a flash, was the last to join the ranks of the married men. And the same veek not mora than three nights laten, he. boxed Charlie Moy and scored a win on him at that. Kddie Miller, who was formerly a fighter, but is now In business with Spud Murphy in a pool and billiard hall. Is likewise one of our best little benedicts. Eddie was hooked up with the lady of his heart this last week. So far there's been no honeymoon tnlp, but that may come after the war is ended. ... The allied promoters are hard put these days to find suitable fight cards. This week they had In mind Jimmy Darcy against Knockout Kruvosky. What with the new draft and boxers disappearing every day Into tha Army, the Navy or the Marines, it's no small task to pick headllners. Indeed, if the war "keeps op. either the clubs will be forced to discontinue or they will have to put up with the leaser lights in the fistic world. ASBHI BfilOIII -
