Although a few months late with his
election of an All-Pacific Coast service
lootball team. Bill Dietz, who coached
the Mare Island football eleven last
season and managed to prep the "devil
dogs" up until they -were recognized
as one of the great gridiron aggrega
tions In the country, h given a num
ber of former Oregon and Washington
players positions on his mythical
elevens.
Roy and Dirk T-tanlev 7. m in e rm a n
iJiRiiiilton and Bangs were the former
i v tistiington staters who managed to
I make the first eleven. Holmes, of the
I Oregon Aggies, and Risley. of Oregon.
"were also members of the first team.
Larl Iodell. Ray Selph and Bill Rose
arc a trio of Oregon Aggie gridders
-who made the second team as did Bill
Steers, of Oregon. Gillis is the only
Washington Stater on the second team.
In speaking of his selections Dietz
says:
"There are men. I believe, who I
have omitted from my selection who
are worthy to play on either of these
teams, namely: Brooks, halfback from
the Mare Island sailors; Glover, half
back from the Marines, who was in
capacitated early in the season which
kept him from showing hie true form:
Blackwell. Camp Lewis, fullback, who
showed at times, but was not depend
able enough; Skadan, Camp Lewis, was
injured in practice games and I did
not see him work; Oberle, Hoerlein and
Kienholz, were other good men on the
Camp Lewis team. Moran, of the Ma
rines, is a dependable guard, while
Reardon. Mather Field and former Ore
gon Aggie. Hawks and Leslie of Van
couver Barracks, were other good per
formers. "Dick Hanley, at quarterback, I be
lieve, easily -wins this most impdVtant
position. Without him the Marines
were just eleven good football men.
With him in the game driving and call
ing their plays they were an invincible
machine. He runs from punt forma
tion, returns punts, plunges the line,
boxes ends, backs up the line and can
receive forward passes with any man
In the business. He was captain of
the Marines last season."
Bill Dietz, in picking an All-Star
gridiron team, referred to Jake Risley,
former University of Oregon center, as
follows:
"Risley. center, is undoubtedly the
greatest center on the Pacific Coast,
and is in my estimation the greatest
ever I have seen play. Fast as a flash,
he is down on punts almost with his
ends, intercepting passes and breaking
up plays behind the line of scrimmage.
And I for one take my hat off to Jake
Risley as one of the greatest centers
the game ever has produced. In the
Great Lakes game he outplayed Bach
man in every department of the game
and Bachman was Walter Camp's selec
tion for the All-American service team.
-Ml I can say is that Camp never saw
Jake."
TROPHY SHOOT IS OX TODAY
Frank Troeli WI1 Defend Two Her
cules Cups at Club.
Frank M. Troch, America's greatest

In the good old days of baseball barn

About that time the late Harry

In 1914. with a club that finished
sixth, under the ...on mark. Alexander
did some remarkable pitching, and
managed to win 27 games within three
of the coveted mark. In 1913 he Juan
about pitched the Phillies to a pennant
by winning 31 and losing only 10. In
191S he won 33 games, the Phillies
being nosed out by Brooklyn in the last
week of play. In 1917 he managed to
make It an even 30 wins. Had it not
been for the war the chances are that
Alexander would now be sharing hon

REAL CHEWING PLUG

A special meeting of the newly
elected "quarterdeck force" of the Port
land Motorboat Club, held last Wednes
day evening, resolved itself into a
general discussion of plans for the
coining year, and ways and means of
putting them over in ftrst-rtasa shapt .
The 1919 officers are as follows:
Commodore, George W Kendall: viee
commodore. Fred ". Vugler; rear
commodore. C. W. Boost : secretary -treasurer,
C. H. Johnston: trustees.
Dr. C. . Hill. J. J. Carter.. William K.

G. L. Gade, Ray Jameson. Lewis V.
Woodward. George J. Kelly,. JJ. F.
Todd and L L. Myers. Otto Hoffman
Is reappointed as the 1919 clerk.
A new feature, and one expected to
prove both interesting and beneficial
to all members. Is that of inaugurating
an initiation for the new mem be if.
who come into the club. George J.
Kelly
ml I lee
has been named head of a -om-
for getting up a classy ritual
and rites for this part of the pro
gramme. Illation Ceremony Planned.
The initiation ceremony will be
given on tho second Tuesday evening
of each month, at the regular social
evening meeting. In times past, the
new members have been afforded no
opportunity of becoming acquainted
or . known to the rest of the crowd.
The initiation ceremony not only will
get the new members known, but is
designed to ho a means of making
everyone acquainted with his sveigh-
bors.
Tentative plans have Iw-en proposed
by Dr. Charles Hill for making some
real cruises to upper river towns dur
ing the season. A feature of tho
cruises will be some sort of a handi
cap race, open to all. when going to
the cruising spot, with prizes for first,
second and third places. Plans also
are under way for the non-boat ownera
to have a chartered boat for each
cruise, enabling them to enjoy the fun
as well as the rest of the crowd.
All told, the 1919 season promises to
be the most enjoyed year the club ha.i
known for some time. A live bunch of
officers are on the bridge, and the
members themselves are showing sign.-i
of greatly increased activity.
l'ui. lie Float Proposed.
Another point of great interest, not
only to the club, but to the public gen
erally, is the fact that the Dock Com
mission is seriously considering in
stalling a public float and landing at
the foot of Woodward avenue.
This space has for years been occu
pied by Bundy's Baths, but with the
sale and dismantling of the baths, tht.i
space becomes clear for the accommo
dation of Portland's citizens. Approxi
mately 30.000 or 40.000 people an
nually use the foot of the street for
landing and embarking on the river,
and a modern, convenient landing float
would be something appreciated by
everybody.
