Several Measures Are Being
Drawn for Legislature.
VARIOUS PLANS PROPOSED
Advocates of legalized Boxing Asked
to Co-opercte With Portland
Commission.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
The announcement in The Oregonian
Saturday morning that the Portland
boxing1 commission most 'likely would
father the boxing bill which it is pro
posed to present to the Oregon Leg-is
lature at Salem next week, legalizing
10-round bouts, was received with fa
vorabie comment in all quarters yes
terday.
The bill, it is said by one of the com
missioners, is an ideal one in every re
spect. The best features of the Wis
consin and other state boxing bills will
be incorporated in the new measure.
Several other boxing bills are being
framed, it is said, and it is hoped by
those behind the measure to engineer
one of them through the coming session
of the Legislature. One of the cham
pions for the new bill goes so far as to
say that if his pet hobby of a com
mission for each city is not "okayed'
that no other boxing measure will have
a chance of getting by.
Promoter Enter Service.
The Portland boxing commission.
composed of representative business
men, were appointed by Mayor Baker
"for the express purpose of regulating
the fistic game. when the boxing
season closed down during the Sum
mer months last year, two of the pri
vate promoters entered the service of
their country one of them later dying
and was buried at sea.
When it came time to open up box
ing in the Fall there were so many
applications for permits that the com
missioners decided to run the shows
themselves during the period of the
war and donate the net profits to the
Oregon Boys' Emerge.-, y Fund.
There has been no objection to this
plan, and considerable money will be
turned over to the fund, which is now
being used to provide entertainment
for the Oregon overseas troops when
they land at New York.
There, never has been any charges of
crooked fights presented to the Port
land boxing commission while the pri
vate promoters were "working under
their watchful eyes.
lO-Round Boots Favored
Local boxing enthusiasts want to see
the boxers travel over the 10-round
route. At the present time boxing
within the state of Oregon has no legal
status, and the purpose of the pro
posed bill is to make the fistic .enter
tainment legal in every respect.
It is hoped that those interested in
boxing will get together and work with
the Portland boxing commission instead
of trying to "single-hand" a pet bill of
their own to the exclusion of all others.

WRESTLING QUESTION WORRY
University of Oregon Has No Old
Men for This Year's Team.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 11. (Special.) Just what will be
done with wrestling is the problem
that is facing the athletic department
of the university at present. There are
no old men of the last year's team who
will be out and there is some talk of
letting this branch of sport die.
George Taylor, Northwest intercol
legiate 165-pound champion of last sea
son, will not be able to go oh the mat,
this year. Taylor was thrown from
horse while in training at Camp Sill
and an injury to his spine, suffered at
this time, makes it impossible for him
to do any muscle twisting for the var
sity this year.
Harold Grey has announced that he
will not wrestle this year, and as he is
the only other varsity man in school
the prospect is none too bright. The
athletic department probably will de
cide this week just what action will be
taken in wrestling.
RIVER TOWNS DIVIDE HONORS
Pasco Girls Defeat Kennewick, bat
Latter Boys' Team Wins.
PASCO, Wash" Jan. 11. (Special.)
A large crowd witnessed the two games
of basketball played here last niirht
Deiween the Pasco and Kennewick High
acnooi Doys ana glrU teams.
In the game between the two jdrls'
teams, Pasco won by a score of 18 to
10, Dorris Cowan, Nan Welch and. Sarah
Rose doing the feature playinar for the
Pasco girls. In the boys contest Elmer
Alexander and Heber Leonard, Pasco's
two best players, were disqualified
early in the frame, badly crippling the
local team, and Kennewick got away
with a score of 36 to 20 in their favor.
Both the Kennewick teams showed
excellent training, and splendid team
work characterized their playing. A
commendable effort was made by both
teams to keep down the ill feeling that
has existed between the two schools
ror some time, with admirable success.
OFFICIALS AT PORTLAND BOX
I.N'Ci MATCH DO NOT
PLEASE FANS.
Sporting Editor, Oregonian:
Dear Sir: I have attended the
boxing contests regularly, along
with several thousands of others,
and can state that the manner in
I which they are now being run off
i is a credit to the city and to the
i Boxing Commission in charge.
I hope that ten-round fights '
will be legalized and that this
same commission will be appoint
ed to handle them, provided, how
ever that changes be made in the
system of calling the winners.
I have been led to believe that
the fighters are judged on their
skill, aggressiveness ring be
havior, etc., but, after seeing the
work of Grant and McDonald, I
have changed my views.
Now, if we must have officials,
such as these, why not let them
make their decisions in time to
haVe them printed on the pro
gramme and have the newspaper
men or the commission or picked
Judges tell .us who really won?
However, if the game is to be
kept going in the right way,
why not get a competent third
man from some other city, if nec
essary, the same as we get the
boxers, and get someone who is
known to be a regular referee,
having a sense of fairness and a
knowledge of the game and who
will call the decisions as they
should be called?.
Anywav, let's have a change.
(Signed) TOM N. MONKS.

terial From Which
Choose Team.
to
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 11. (Special.) During the past
week the freshman basketball team of
the university under the coaching of
Shy" Huntington got under way and
from the first week's practice It ap
pears to be a great squad. At present
the roster of Frosh contains about 20
names, among them being a number
of former high school stars from vari
ous parts of the state.
At the center position on one of the
teams a former Eugene High School
man is holding forth. He is Prince
Callison, center on the Oregon service
football eleven this year.
Vincent Jacobberger, former Colum
bia University star, is making a very
creditable showing. Fred Lorenze, four
years on the Coquille High School team,
is one of the fastest men on the floor
and looks good at this early date.
Francis Bellar, from Pendleton, and
Marc Lathan, from Salem, are two can
didates who are showing all kinds of
class.
As yet no games have been arranged
for the first year team, but they prob
ably will get lined up within a few
weeks. Some Portland high school may
be taken on and there will be several
games with the local high school team,
The O. A. C. "Rooks," the Chemawa
Indians and several other teams prob-
ablv" will be taken on during the
season.
State School Superintendent
to Have Last Word. :
SENATOR PLEDGES SUPPORT
No Opposition to Measure Expected
When It Appears Before
Legislature.
The Oregon Physical Education So
ciety, at its meeting in the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club yesterday, dis
cussed the proposed compulsory physi
cal training bill for public schools in
all its phases and a coiTmittee of four
was appointed by President Botsford to
make arrangements for a conference
with State Superintendent of Schools
Churchill for his advice and approval
before final arrangements are made for
presenting the bill to the legislators.
The bill as suggested by the commit
tee requires a minimum of 100 minutes
weekly, or an average of 20 minutes a
day, in physical training instruction for
all children, in grade and secondary
schools.
To make arrangements for schools
without adequate facilities, there shall
be Equivalents consisting of recrea
tional activities This applies to rural
school conditions. It is proposed to
give students credits for participation
in intcrscholastic athletics.
The committee which formulated the
proposed bill consisted of Dr. A. D.
Browne, Oregon Agricultural College,
chairman; C; S. Botsford, Reed College; .
Prof. Robert Krohn, Portland public
schools; Miss Mabel Cummings, Uni
versity of Oregon.
W. W. Banks, president of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club and a
member of the State Senate, who Is
well versed in all forms of athletics.
addressed the physical directors and
declared his intention of giving the
bill his undivided support when it
reaches the upper house.
Opinion prevailed at yesterday's
gathering that the compulsory physical
training bill would encounter no op
position in either the House or Senate
on account of the popular universal
demand that all children be given the
necessary training for the development
of correct physical posture, mental and
physical alertness.
Military features will be recognized
and embodied in the proposed bill
which will develop a sense of patriotic
duty and a spirit of co-operation un
der leadership such as the spirit of
physical preparedness demands.
Among those who attended yester
day's meeting were:
Dr. A. D. Browne, O. A. C; A. M.

Dominion League Is Formed at a
Meeting In Montreal.
Following the lead of the Metropoli
tan A. A. U., amateur athletic authori
ties of Montreal, Canada, have orga
nized a basketball league for tourna
ment championship play. The forma

treal Amateur Athletic Association,
which was attended by representatives
of the M. A. A. A.. Shamrock A- A. A.

representation from Toronto, Quebec,
Ottawa and other cities,, making the
Dominion league almost national in
scope. If these efforts fail the title
will be the Montreal Basketball League,
but if the officials succeed in getting
representation from other cities, the
league will be known as the Interpro
vincial Basketball League.
The delegates at the meeting were
enthusiastic over a revival of interest
in basketball throughout the Dominion
during the Winter months. Represent
atives of six organizations pieagea
teams for the tournament, and it is
nrobable this number will be aug
mented before the league Is finally
launched.
