After Multno mah's defeat of the Oregon Aggies Thanksgiving day. Berta sent a tele I ram to Seattle asking Washington If it cared to take on the club team. De cember 7. and yesterday received i wire from James Arbuthnot, director of athletics, saying the game could not be played. Berta had a confab with "Shy mint in t; ton at the Union Depot Friday nlffht while the Oregon team was waiting to board the rattler for Seattle for their clash with the Washlngtonians yester day, and Huntington asked Berts for the December 7 date. Not having re ceived Washington's answer to hla tele gram at that time Berts was not at liberty to sign a contract with Hunt ington for the game next Saturday, but now that the game with Washington Is off. Multnomah will take on Oregon. Oregon's playing Multnomah nest Saturday precludes any chance of a re turn game with the Oregon Aggies. Representatives of the Aggies and Ore gon originally agreed to play two games one each in Kugene and Cor vallis. The Influenxa epidemic canceled the Kugene contest, but the teams did jret together at Corvalli.. Oregon win ning. 13 to . The Aggies have been harping for a return battle, confident they can turn the tables on the Kugene eleven, but the outlook for the contest is gloomy. Doc Helsman. Georgia Tech's football coach, has been besieged with requests for an explanation of his much-talked-of "Jump shift." Many coaches claim it Illegal, but Heleman says it is ac cording to the rules. Here is Helsman's explanation: "L'pon original formation, the snap per (center) with the ball is the only man on the actual scrimmage line. The rest of the linesmen two guards, two tackles and two ends are about one yard back of the snapper. Another yard hark on a direct line with the snapper Is the quarterback. Back of the quar terback is the right half, behind him is the fullback, and behind the fullback la the left half. In other words, the formation Is a gigantic letter T" like this: Center. End. Tackle, Guard. Suard (Quarterback. Halfback. Fill I bark. Halfback. Tackle. End. "On a given signal, the team, except the snapper. Jumps to certain given di rections according to the play caned for. Tbey do not all Jump alike, either in distance or direction. As a matter of fact. 'the system in Its entirety calls ' for the men to Jump In a great variety or differing ways. "There is only one thing they always do in common and that is they all Jump simultaneously. When properly drilled and practiced, this Jump in unison re sults In their landing on earth In per fect unison in their new positions. "At the completion of this Jump they come to a complete stop, as Is required by the rules, and seven of them always are found to be on the line of scrim mage, as again called for by the rules. These seven, however, are not neces sarily the same seven in all cases. "In their new positions after the Jump, the 11 men pause for tne barest fraction of a second. Almost instantly after the shift and the fractional stop of players on the scrimmage line, the ball goes Into play. Then the whole team Is off on'the ball, the idea being to transfer a lot of man-power to the given point of attack before the de fense can assemble an equal strength la man-power to oppose the assault." BOXERS TO RETCRX SOOX American Pugilists Who Enlisted Will Be Warmly Welcomed. American pugilists who drepped their ring affairs to help knock out the Huns will be warmly greeted by the fistic fans throughout the country when they return to their profession. The plana for demobilising the forces overseas will soon be under way and it la not at all unlikely that many of the glove art ists will be back In the States within! two or three months. However, It may not be until weeks after their arrival that they will be aeen in the ring, as they will probably reat up before con-j stdering a glove engagement. j Those who are fortunate enough to return home none the worse for their i wonderful adventure should be in tip-' top shape physically when they land.! As a result of their sojourn in the. Army or Navy they will be more rug- I grd than ever and this will aid them in their profession. The boxer who has seen foreign service will surely be a' big drawing card. too. For example, take Mike O'Dowd-. the middleweight: title holder. Mike when he left for' France was a popular boxer and when he returns he will be even more popu lar and will probably be swamped with offers. O'Dowd will be to the ring game what Hank Gowdy will be to baseball, a great drawing card. The middleweight champion la al ready looking toward his future In the ring. Several days ago hla manager, 1'addy Mulllns. received a letter from him In which he said that he expected to be home about Christmas and would lose little time in being matched with the leaders of hla class. NURSES HURRIED TO FRONT Red Cross Workers Play Part In Combating Influenza. NAPLES.

SQUADRONS FAIL MORE 3!W At ' MORE COMEDY TIIAX FOOTBALL IX GRIDIROX CLASH. -106 Players Take Offensive but Are Cnable to Cross Op ponents' Line. In a game replete with fumbles, inter cepted passes, completed passes, blocked punts and sensational plays, the 105th and 106th Squadron football team, of Portland, battled to a 0-0 tie with the Sixth Squadron team, of Vancouver Bar racks, on Multnomah field yesterday afternoon. The 105th and 106th Squadron play ers were the aggressors throughout most of the four quarters and played hard game. Both teams had several chances to score, but failed to put the ball over. Johnny Whltten. the diminutive 105th and 106th Squadron quarter, put the boys on edge when he took the ball and raced 32 yards around left end be fore he was nailed. It looked like the Portland team might score, but It lost out when Langrell tried a place kick. It was blocked and Whitney, the Sixth Squadron right end, glommed his mitts on the oval and carried on 10 yards. The prettiest pass of the day was completed In the fourth quarter. With the ball on the Sixth Squadron's 40 yard line. Langrell shot a pass 30 yards to Meyers. Meyers went over the Sixth Squadron goal, but the referee brought the ball out about 10 yards, saying that he had run outside of the boun dary lines. The lOath and 106th Squad ron tried several line bucks, but could not dent that Sixth Squadron line. Williams, who went in for Whltten In the fourth quarter. Called for another pass. It flew over the line. Joe Pa rial I e. Whitney, Charkey Van Dertpe and Krelmuth starred for the Sixth Squadron, while Hugh Sack steder.

Barring snow or cloudbursts. the present football schedule will come to a close on Tuesday; December 10. At the completion of the schedule a game will be played between the win ner in League A and the winner in League B for the championship of Portland. After the champfonship game there may be several post-season affairs between the leadings schools, but such games are not at all certain. it Is not known what stand tne principals will take on playing them. Tomorrow Jefferson will play iranit- lin on Multnomah Field. The game was to have been played last Wednes day, but was postponed at the request of Coach White, of Franklin, as tne Quakers had a game -scheduled with Walla Walla High School in Walla Walla Thanksgiving day. After all, PROMINENT MEMBER OF PORTLAND ROWING CLL'B INFLUENZA VICTIM. James F. McCarty. James Forbes McCarty, who died at the Sellwood Hospital Tuesday of Span ish influenxa after an Illness of six days, was one of the most popular members of the Portland Rowing Club. He was well known throughout the Northwest among commercial travelers, having traveled this section of the country for a large San Francisco jew elry firm and later became sales man ager of the Far West Manufacturing Company, of Albany. He would have attained, his 34th birthday today had he lived. He leaves a widow and child and resided at 26 Willamette Moorings. f . 2 y. -- - t- -s .' : 1 L - f l-rt - - 1 ' & ' 1 . . .. T . 1 Franklin did not get to make the trip, as the "flu" epidemic was ' raising havoc as yet in Walla Walla and a per mit to play the game was refused by the health officials. The contest be tween Franklin and Jefferson should be one of the best of the year and will be the- deciding game in League A. Jefferson has won one contest and lost none. Franklin has won one and tied one. It they can get away with Jef ferson they will still have to beat Co lumbia for the title. Coach Quigley and his Jeff eleven went to Astoria Thanksgiving day and trimmed As toria High School, 45 to 0, which speaks well for Jefferson. On Tuesday. December 3, Hill will tangle with Commerce on Multnomah Field. Hill has the best team they have had in years and should not have any trouble taking Commerce down the line. They defeated Washington, 25 to 0, several weeks ago, and Wash ington registered a 6-to-0 victory over Commerce last week. On Wednesday. December 5, Lincoln V will play Washington. In previous years the Lincoln-Washington con test was the big game of the year, but times have changed. This season Lin coln has a fast, aggressive eleven and one of the best teams in either league, While Washington has been unable to do anything impressive this season, but they are a gang of "fighters" and a battle can be looked for when the two ancient rivals clash in their annual gridiron mix . Jefferson was originally scheduled to meet James John on Friday, Decem ber 6, but as they have their game tomorrow with Franklin to play off, the James John-Jefferson game has been postponed until next Monday. The last scheduled game of the sea son will be on Tuesday, December (, when Lincoln will play Hill. A date has not yet been set for the cham pionship affair and will not be chosen until it Is definitely found out what teams will cop the cup in their re spective leagues. ' There were no reversals in last week's games. Washington defeated Commerce, 6 to 0, and Columbia triumphed over James John by the same score. George McKiel, the Lower Columbia (river) champion, who is playing with the Columbia University, started the game against James John with his beautiful little mustache, which earned for him plenty of attention. George got along fine until they began hit ting him and his poor condition then told against him. and he had to be taken out. George promises to be in condition for Columbia's next game. The boys are wondering if he is going to grow a beard or Just ksnp the mus tache. A number of former prominent in terscholaatic athletes were In attend ance at the James John-Columbia game, two of them on the watch. They were Bill Schroeder and Johnny Murphy. Bill Schroeder. was about the best all round athlete that has been turned out at James John and his brother, Herman Schroeder, plays fullback for this year's James John team. The two also represented the Black and Orange in all other branches of sport. Johnny Murphy made a name for himself at Columbia as a football, baseball and track man. Al "Duke" Bodler, another former Columbia star, now halfback for the Oregon Aggies was also an In terested spectator. Hodler and Schroe der are at O. A. C, while Murphy is at the University of Washington Naval Training Station. Other well-known Portland interscholastic athletes home on furloughs last week were Ralph Thayer, Jefferson; Tex Wllliford, Jef ferson; Ike Daneher, Jefferson: Boyd Knapp. Columbia; Carl Knudsen, Lin coln; Bill Smythe, Lincoln; Sergeant Earl R. Goodwin, Lincoln, and a host of others. Boy Finds Dynamite Pencil. NAPLES. A boy was brought to the Pilgrim's IJospital last night. He was Antonio Apreii, 16, of Massalubrense. He was suffering from gangrene of the left hand and the loss of two fingers of his right. He said he had picked up an explosive pencil along a country road, which proved to be charged with dynamite. He rubbed the point on the ground, when it exploded. T SEATTLE FLYER AND PORTLAND MAX FJG II T TO DRAW. Frankie Tucker Beats Louie Leonard in Scmi-Windup Eddie Denny and Bobby Harper Draw. SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 30. (Special.) Lieutenant Earl Baird. Seattle's boxer aviator, made his professional debut here last night by fighting Muff Bron son, claimant of the Coast lightweight championship, to a draw in the Klks' Club main event. Local fans packed the lodge gymnasium to see the fornierna tional amateur champion tackle one of the Coast's best lightwe-ights. While Baird didn't win everybody went home pleased with the showing of the little blue diamond battler. Handicapped by a nine months' lay off, during which time he was winning nis snouider bars in Uncle Sam's air service, Baird showed lack of practice. I His judgment of distance was not quite up to par and the clever Portlandcr made him miss badly on several occa sins. But taking his showing as a whole, Baird lived up to expectations. He showed that he packed a. wallop when he crashed a hard right to Muff's jaw in the fourth round, staggering the Rose City lightweight. He fought an aggressive battle and few in the house were disappointed when Referee Schacht called it a draw. On the other hand, Bronson was in excellent trim and put up a good fight. Frankie Tucker beat Louie Leonard In the semi-windup. Eddie Denny, the Oaklander, and Bobby Harper, former teammate of Baird's, boxed a draw. Football Results. Chicago Minnesota, 7: Chlcajrn. 0.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash ington American League baseball club in a long letter to Judge McCredie. owner of the Portland team, sends an outline of an agreement under whicli major and minor league clubs could work that would give justice and equity to the players as well as thr owners, according to Griffith. This would be a boon to the minor league?, says Griffith, as they would no longer have to purchase players. Oriffith presented a resolution to tho American League three years ago. re questing it never again to buy, tradr or sen a ballplayer. After discuKslon taft dkn,ie8 pfofpkreo ball com.missioi-:ksiiii. DAYTON. O., Nov. 30. Former President William Howard Taft stated today that he would, tin der no circumstances, accept the position of baxeball commissioner for the two major leagues, for which office he had been sug gested. the resolution was denied on the grounds that it was not the proper time to adopt such a measure, aa the federal League players were thrown out of employment at that time. Griffith's outline is as follows: Three Rules Available. Organized baseball, both major and minor, can be governed by three rules vhih will give Justice and equity to player and club owners alike. 1. The reserve rule. J. The draft rule. 3. The waiver rule. The reserve rule will protect clubd' prop erty rights, and investments. The draft rule will insure the advance ment of tho player in hla profession. The waiver rule protects the clubowner nnd at tho same tltno the rights of the player. Ruler that shall govern the application of ;ne three above-mentioned rules to be toMows, viz: 1. No club shall be permitted to sell or 1 DUV a. DlaVfr OVi-pnl liv th uaivar ciiIa 2. Waivera cannot be recalled. A. All clubs to work under a close-player limit. 4. That all minor leaguo players shall go to tho draft. 5. No club shall be allowed to trade player. ti. The number of plnyer to bo dm f ted In him. j t ue greater man tne mm. ber the rules provide for. 7. The waiver price of clubs in the same classification to be the same amount. b. The waiver price on a player classed as a "drafted" player shall be the name as the amount for whirh he was drafted. 9. The waiver price on all other players to be the regular waiver price of the league requesting tne waiver. 10. Any club in any league wishing to dispose of the services of a player, waivers shall be asked, only clubs in-tho same clans lficatlon shall have tho. right to claim said player, the clubs of the J-;igue requesting the waiver to have prior claim, should two or more clubs claim the player it shall be decided by lot to which club ho shall go: if the player be not claimed in the classifi cation requesting waivers, and the club re questing waiver no longer desires tho tterv- lc-ci of the player, then and In that event the player shall become subject to claim by clubs in lower classifications according to the now existing rules: when It Is determined which club shall have the services of the player, said club shall get the player free of cost. Farming to Be Prevented. The above rules " will emancipate tho player; he will no longer be bargained in as a "chattel"; it will also prevent the farm ing and the manipulation of players by the clubs. Tho important thing to all clubs con cerned is that it would eijualizo tho chances of clubs In every league of getting the serv ices of players, each club would have to de pend on draft ing and developing Its pluy ers, instead of buying the already-made. Tho benefits accruing from Hie above would be much greater to the minor leagues than to the majors; the minors would g-t the draft price for a player und get him back, or so.meone elso in hla stead, (of nothing. Tho minor leagues' ha ok hax e been broken by carrying major leagues' owned players and being unable to get lay ers when they wanted them. The ma.lnr leagues, and. In fact, all leagues, should be compelled to cut their roster to the ploy era' limit by the commencement of t hHr season; this would allow alt flubs in low er classification to have a chance to get the players that they need. ' Baseball should be put on a "sport" b.isis by minor league and major alike, and the way to do this is to quit trying to live on selling players, but by the gate patronage. If a club can't live that way there is no other. The rankest failures in the class AA and A leagues are the clubs that have tried to live on peddling players. The 1017 National Association board shows that the National Association pnid the majors $110,000 for optional agreements and outright sale of players. The minors, under the new system, would save t his $110,or0, besides having all tho money paid them for drafts. Records show there is no money in selling players. AM baseball could he run by one supreme head! there would then be no necessity io maintain the big offices of the National As-Eoc-tatlofi, as there would be no arguments or suits to decide in reference to the own ership or transfer of a player.
