BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
TVith the advent of September and
indications pointing to one of the most
successful seasons In years inter'
scholastic football teams will be called
to practice at different times during
the month, most of them tomorrow, to
pet into condition for the start of tlw
1919 gridiron season.
As is generally the case, the prepara
tory schools open so much earlier than
the universities and colleges Chat the
thud of the pigskin will be heard on
the high school practice fields early
this month while the shrill of the
reteree's whistle sending teams into
action will be heard October 1.
A meeting of the principals of the
various high schools, who are the
directors of the interscholastic athletic
association, will be held this week to
talk over the coming football season
and instruct the coaches to get together
and draw up a tentative schedule for
their approval. Kligibity rules may
also come up for more discussion.
Nirw high schools and preparatory
Institutions will compose the inter
scholastic league this season. They
are Jefferson high school. Washington
high school, Lincoln high school, Krank-I
lin high school, James John high school
High School of Commerce. Benson Tech
Columbia university and Hill Military
academy. Last yar eight schools
played football, Benson resuming the
sport after a layoff of a year, owing
to the fact that the school buildings
were taken over by the governmen
during the war.
DivUlon Raises Question.
Whether or not the schools will be
divided into two separate leagues as
they were last season Is another big
question. It is not likely that this
form will be in vogue as the only rea
son the schools were divided last year
was because of the influenza epidemic.
By putting the schools into two leagues
it was possible to play off the schedule
in half the time it would take ordi
narily.
Remarkable turnouts are promised
at all of the schools and a good deal
of "beef" is coming to light on the
various squads. Columbia university
and Hill Military academy will get
law start, as they have yet to open for
the school year.
Practically all of last season's cham
pionship Jefferson high team have re
turned to school and the outlook Is
exceedingly bright. H. W. Quigley will
again coach the team and will try to
duplicate his past performance.
Louis Coulter, all-around athlete of
the blue and gold will captain the
team this season. Louis played end
last year but it is possible that he will
shift to the backfield.
The other men who are back from
last year are Harlan Gram, Art Sut
ton. James Lively, Rollo Gray. Syd
Fmythe. Ken Julian and Norman
You mans.
Edwin 'Saw" Anderson, who has
played tackle for the last two years
has announced that he is through
with athletics and if this is true it will
leave a big hole in the line to be filled.
Mike Reed, Reggie Tousey and Uick
Flaville are the men who will be miss
ing. These three largely were respon
sible for Jefferson's winning the cham
pionship. Many likely looking men are out and
there promises to be a great fight for
the various positions on the team.
Fifty Answer at Marvin.
Fifty men responded to Coach E. G.
Harlan's call for candidates for Lin
coln high school's 1919 football team
at a meeting held Friday afternoon.
Among them were six men who played
against Jefferson high for the cham
pionship of the league last season. The
veterans who answered "present" are:
Marlon Monroe. Irwin Cole, Morris
Rogoway, Bill Beck. Warren Oliver and
"Gyp" Knkelis. Other men who were
out last year are Dave Wright, Fred
Helmcke and Bernie Mannheimer.
With these men as a foundation
Harlan expects to put one of the
strongest teams in tike field that has
represented Lincoln in the past few
years.
linkers is captain and will guide the
boys while they are on the field. He
is a two-year letterman, having played
guard under both "Ad" Dewey and Bob
Earle. Monroe. Cole and Rogowav are
backfield men of experience and ought '
10 oe oig ground gainers tor tne Kail
splitters. Beck and Olivier are line
men, playing end and tackle respec
tively. Lincoln won the championship of
league B last year, but lost to Jeffer
son In the playoff.
There is a lot of weight in the new
material that has shown up so it looks
as if Lincoln will have one of the
heaviest teams in a long while.
Coach Harlan has had four years'
experience at Grinnell college and in
that time he was never on a losing
team. He will have lots of support at
Lincoln and the student body will be
out to see that he will not be con
nected with a tailender this time.
Waahtnarton Meaaa Buinru.
Washington is one school that did
not boast of a strong team last year
that will bear watching this season.
Coach Strong Is out to win In his initial
year as football mentor at that school
and has a bunch of excellent material.
The old Washington spirit is showing
up in copious quantities and that means
fight.
Bill Johnson. "Dude" Hitchcock, and
several other stars of 1916 and 1917
are back in the harness with nearly
all of last year's team. Kddle Ediund.
Johnny Haak. Dick McLardy, Binns,
Keinkie, Robbins and Scott are some of
the men who will answer the first call
tomorrow after school. Several new
comers who are said to be "knock 'em
dead" players will be out in uniform.
Franklin is without a coach but not
without material. Johnny Paulsen.
Harry Thomas, the McCormick brothers,
Hallier, Cook. Shrder. McCallum. Claire
Bad ley. Powell. York and other vets
are registered and are only waiting for
the call to don the moleskins. Thomas
was one of the best backfield men in
the interscholastic league last season.

for the season. Benson will have to

Hurlingham Club Committee Draft
ing Regulations Expected to Con
trol Game All Over AYorld.
NEW TORK. To judge from the do
ings of the polo players in the old
world of late the main item in connec
tion with the sport will be the appear
ance of a new set of universal rules,
which in all probability may govern
the next international match for the
polo cup between England and the
United States. For some time past a
small committee selected from the
Hurlingham club has been engaged in
drafting a set of universal rules which
are expected to control the game the
world over, and to be suitaoie iu .ci.s-
ir,rt ,nH America, as well as mm
Australia Canada. New - South Wales,
South Africa. South America and other
countries interested In the spoil.
Major Frederick W. Barren, wno i
the new polo manager at nuriiHBimi",
is chairman of the committee, and he
i airieH bv the Earl of Rocksavage,
one of the new lights of polo and now
said to be one of the best men at No. 3
this vear in England. Ihat ne is
first-class Dlaver in the position was
demonstrated by his work in the Eng-lanri-Treland
international, when the
Saxons won by a margin of three goals.
It is proposed that the rules snau
not go into effect until they are agree
able to all countries, and very soon
copies of the proposed new regulations
will be forwarded lor approval in wic
Polo association of the United States,
as well as tne oiner jiuiu-ijiiiii6
nations.
When Malor Barrett was here witn
the victorious Wimborne team in 1914
he was struck with the strange idea
of having to play one set of rules in
America and the other in England, and
he then and there stated that he would
invent a playing code which he thought
would suit both countries. Between
the rules in vogue now in England
and in America there are some import
ant differences which it is not hard to
codify if approached in the right spirit.
On both sides of the Atlantic the rules
are defective, a want of detail on sev
eral of the important rules being the
weakness here, while abroad tnere are
number of clauses and regulations
which should be abolished.
No better service was ever rendered
to polo in England than when America
won the international cup ten years
ago, as It opened the Eritons' eyes to
the foolishness of their office rule,
which literally made No. 1 a passenger
on the team. After the Yankees sailed
away with the mug. the English abol-
shed the off-side rule and their polo
mproved fully 50 per cent at once, so
that when they came here in 1911 they
were not such strangers to the Ameri
can style of play. Of course. - it took
hem three attacks before they car-
ied away the cup, but they were satis
fied with the reward they received for
heir trouble.

Bringing a magnificent cup which he
won when he came in fourth in the na
tional 10-mile marathon swim at River
ton, N. J., August 2, and with many
new ideas about the swimming game.
O. J. Hosford. chairman of the swim
ming committee of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club and one of the
coast's best long-distance swimmers,
is home after a five weeks' tour of
the east.
While In Chicago Hosford arranged
for the world's championship water
polo team of the Illinois Athletic club
to play Multnomah club here. The 1111-
ois Athletic club team is planning to
make a tour of the Pacific coast next
season, and Hosford closed for It to
appear in Portland. He Is now trying to
make arrangements for Seattle, Van
couver and Victoria. Norman Ross is a
member of the championship quintet.
as is "Buddy" Wallen.
In speaking of the 10-mile race, Bol
den of Memphis, Tenn., according1 to
Hosford, was a surprise.
Starting with a pace that caused
his trainers to call on him to slow
down, Bolden pushed on and never
stopped until he had left the first of
the other 22 a half mile in the rear at
the finish. No sooner had he climbed
out of the water than Bachrack, in
structor of the Illinois Athletic club
of Chicago, had him signed for the
swimming team of that organization.
Kerry, champion of Canada, who fin
ished second, gets a good deal of Hos
ford's praise. Two miles from the fin
ishing line Hosford was eighth and in
the next half mile passed them up until
he was third. Then along came Kerry,
who at the two-mile mark was no
where in sight, passing Hosford and
"Stubby" Kruger, taking second place.
When he climbed out of the water he
wasn't even breathing hard and by
standers said that he could have swum
back over the course. His endurance
was marvelous.
"Stubby" Kruger was all but in when
he reached the finishing line, having
put up a hard battle with Norman Ross,
swimming neck and neck with the
famed Portland merman for seven
miles.
Mrs. Hosford and his mother, went to
Washington and it was here that the
most amusing incident of the trip took
place.
To escape from the heat he went in
swimming and the life guard at the
resort, after watching him swim a while,
followed him to his dressing room and
offered him the position as life guard
at $30 per week. From Washington
the Hosford party returned to New
York, visiting the various swimming
resorts, but failed to run into any
of the crack eastern swimmers or the
visiting Australians.
In Chicago he was a guest of Bach
rack at the Illinois Athletic club, and
watched the swimming teams in prac
tice and studied the methods of in
struction there. William L. "Buddy"
Wallen was up at his father's ranch in
training for the 440, which has since
been staged and which Wallen won and
set a new record, and so Hosford missed
him.
George Schroth, the Oakland boy who
swam in the national mile here and
also in the 10-mile, returned to the
coast the day after the 10-mile. Kruger
is still in the east and may accept an
offer from one of the eastern clubs or
colleges and remain there. Norman
Ross hopes to be able to stop off in
Portland to see his folks on his way
to Honolulu and arrangements will be
made to stage a swim of some sort
here if he does.
The Pacific association 200 - yard
breast-stroke swim in San Francisco
today calls a large field of swimmers,
among whom is Eddie Hart, former
Multnomah club water man. Hart is
at present the national junior breast-
stroke champion, having won the cen
tury in 1:21 2-5.
For some unknown reason the Los
Angeles Athletic club failed to send
Clyde Swendson to the national high
diving meet held in ' New York last
Saturday. His trip was called off the
day before he was to leave and instead
he went to the divine events at San
Diego on Labor day and won the coasf
title. Sponberg, of a New York club,
won the national event. No coast
divers entered.

his back for two minutes on account
of cramps in the legs. After work

tember 13, will be held on the Wlllam-

tain Fred Newell has been engaged
busily in lining up the members for
this event as the likely participants
will be in line to be entered by the
club in the association regatta at Vic
toria next year.
There will be entries in the singles,
doubles and fours and also a full list
of canoe events in which women mem
bers of the club will have a chance to
compete. The ladies, however, are to
be barred from all canoe tipping or
upset races.
The races this year will be held over
the short course of . the club, which
should tend to bring out some close
and exciting finishes. There Is consid
erable promising new material for fu
ture oarsmen and scullers in the new
members of the club and this is being
carefully developed under the watchful
eye of Captain Newell.

right into the hole at the back of it
and have that clearly in your mind as
the thing you are aiming at when you
make your putt. The accepted method
of putting is to look at the back of the
ball when you are making your putt.
But It has been demonstrated that in
short putts, at all events, you can do
J ist as well, and sometimes better, by
looking at the hole instead of at the
ball, just as in billiards you look at
the ball you are trying to hit with
your own ball.
In a short putt it is not necessary nor
even desirable to follow through. You
may rap your putt. This is more nat
ural. It is also entirely unnatural to
go on looking at the place the ball has
left as there is practically no tendency
to look forward too soon in putting
and there is no occasion to rise up, as
in driving.
In practicing putting begin at the
ho'e, Bay a foot putt. You may think
this is a Joke, but Harry Vardon has
missed a foot putt and many players
have the bad habit of conceding short
putts so that when they have to play
medal play they often miss these putts
from lack of practice. Keep extending
your putt, bit by bit, away from the
hole until all distances seem easy. It
is time well spent to practice putting
any spare moment you have. Always
putt with the same weight of ball and
preferably with new balls. At all
events, with bails that are not knocked

AN FRANCI-5CO. Sept. 6. (Special.)
After a week of fleet festivities
that have Included fights for sail
ors and fights by the sailors mem
selves, we'll be getting back to the
hardpan of the California four-round
game. And for a starter, on Tuesday
we will have with us in' Oakland Bill
Larue, who has gained renown by de
feating Willis Meehan, versus carl Mor
ris, the big chap of tne game, aiorns
isn"t any wonder. In fact, if you want
to harken back to past history, he made
a miehty sorry showing against Jack
Dempsey on the occasion of their meet-
ng here.
Dempsey won, and he maae Morris
look like a selling plater. However,
the fans forget and forgive. They
would see more of Larue and Morris
has been drafted for the occasion.
Somehow or other, the heavies seem
to be the best drawing cards In this
neck of the woods and with the Ad
mission day holiday, Simpson is bound
to do well.
Both men have been in training this
week. Larue, who came back from
his southern California vacation just
full of jazz, is working at Wixon's, a
training quarters in Oakland. Bill
has been hard put to get big fellows
with whom to train so "he has done
the best he could with lighter men.
However, that may be no handicap.
He trained in exactly the same fashion
for Meehan and never, in all my recol
lection did Larue look in as good
condition.
Of course, if Larue really wants to
go along for good' money In the east,
he's got to win from Morris and beat
him decisively at that. No doubt he
will, for that's the way the dope
figures.
Meehan came home the forepart of
last week with the announcement that
he isn't going back to the ring for
four or five weeks, after which he
hopes to be able to take on all comers.
Meehan pulled a new alibi on the un
suspecting public, declaring that tho
trouble was with his teeth and that
he would have to take a leave of ab
sence to gt his teeth fixed up.
So Willie is going to the dentist
every day; presumably so, and doing
the vacation stunt on the side.
Meantime, he has been quite suc
cessful in dodging that dark demon.
Jack Thompson, who might otherwis
prove more or less of a stumbling
block and crying to the promoters that
he wants a return engagement with
Larue.
Fat Bill laughs at Willie; remark
that it is now his turn. Likely he
plans to play the string out befor
givirg Meehan another crack at him.
Jack Grant arrived here a few days
ago and is still in our midst. Jack
has been looking over the fight talent,
talking to the fighters themselves and
getting a line generally on the scrap
pers, in order to make up his mind
Just which of them will be fed to the
Portland fight public.
Grant was anxisus to sign up Bat
tling Ortega but found the price of
medals rather stiff. In addition. Tom
my Simpson has signed for Ortega to
box 42 rounds with Jack Malone, the
Minnesota middleweight, at Butte,
Mont., September 26. The winner of
the Malone-Ortega fight is supposed to
get a match later with Mike O'Dowd,
claimant of the middleweight title.
Naturally, with an important fight
of that sort in prospect, Simpson was
reluctant to talk business with Grant
and made the price so high the Port
land matchmaker had to throw up his
hands.
It is possible that Eddie Mahoney
will be signed. Jack has heard some
good th)ngs of the local lightweight
and is nosing around. Mahoney made.
a poor bout a couple of weeks ago in
Oakland against Jimmy Duffy, but
cp.me back the week following when
he beat Frankie Farren at the Coliseum.
Four-rounders, however, are none
too anxious to try themselves out over
a longer distance and when 10round
matches are suggested to them, it takes
a lot of coaxing. The four-round game,
you know, is one of comparative safety
and a lot of these boys are not satis
fied in their own minds whether they
can go much further.
Farren is rather put out, by the way,
over his defeat by Mahoney. The locai
lad isn't offering any alibis, but he
uoes say that he would like a re
turn engagement. John Flammer, who
gained fame as the western represen
tative of Benny Leonard, is handling
the business arrangements for Farren.
The fight game in Tonopah, Nev., has
tumbled, along with the strike that has
closed down most of the mines. Doc
Morris, a local character, who went to
Tonopah with a view to opening up
the fight game in that section, has
written me that the show he had
planned for September 11 has been
called off. The strike has forced him
to discountinue his plans for fights
in that section. Most of the miners,
so he says, have left for other fields
and there's nothing doing in that sec
tion ol Nevada.
Joe Benjamin, who Is still in New
York and evidently plans to remain
there for some little time, has written
his friends among the promoters all
the news. Joe was off on a trip to the
mountains with Benny Leonard and
from what he has to say evidently en-
joyea nimseir.
He had a fight mapped out for Labor
day, but something happened to the
other fellow and so the ex-Portlander
is still on the outside looking In. As
a matter of fact, the eastern fight
season is not as yet under full swing
and Benjamin may yet have an oppor
tunity to distinguish himself.
A Philadelphia paper brought word
the other day that Sailor Ed Petroskey
is now in that section, has placed him
self under the management of Phila
delphia Jack O'Brien and is after fights.
Sailor Ed, in the heydey of his fame,
was some rough-and-tumble scrapper
here on the coast. He could rough it
with any of the middleweights in the
game. But he dropped by the wayside
and of recent months his eyes have
been decidedly troublesome. He did
try come-backs here, but they were
anything but successful.
Later Petroskey went to France with
the marines and was in several im
portant offensives. Now he has his
honorable release from the service and
probably wants to make a little monev
for himself. Petroskey is a fine chap
personally, and I'd like to see him do
well, but the chances are against him.
Saw Packey McFarland the other
night and failed to recognize him. Fact
is he came up and spoke to me and
then had to give his name. When
Packey was fighting hereabouts he
was a lightweight; big, of course, but
still trim and around the 140-pound
mark.
Now that he is completely out of that
sport McFarland is weighing 180 pounds
and looks more the business man. As
a matter of fact, that's just what
Packey is. He has a lot of money
himself and they do say his wife is
well fixed with this world's goods.
He has been amusing himself chiefly
by playing golf and has had several
get-togehter games with Willie Ritchie.
Ritchie, by the way, is coming to be
some clever golfer. He was in an
Olympic club tournament this last week
and worked his way into the first flight!
by virtue of a low score in the qual
ifying round. , J
One of the most remarkable incidents
of the boxing game is the great simi
larity in the records of Joe Beckett,
the English heavyweight - champion.
and Jack Dempsey, the kingpin of pu
gilism. Beckett attained his great
standing in somewhat the same manner
as Dempsey.
A turbulent sea and many bigger,
rugged opponents greeted the appear
ance of both in the boxing game, but
a mighty pair of maulers paved the
way to victories. Beckett has had his
ups and downs, probably more than
Dempsey, before he reached the top.
Several years ago, like Dempsey, he
was unheard of. However, each vaulted
into a championship by quick defeats
of titleholders of abnormal physique
and supposed invulnerability.
Beckett is a veteran in every sense
of the word. Even before the war he
engaged in numerous bouts in England
with a marked degree of success, bu
he never reached anything like the
prestige that he has had since he top
pled the big giant, Frank Goddard. at
the'Olympia Athletic club in London
two months ago.
Goddard, who frequently has been
compared to Jim Jeffries because of
his remarkable physique, was regarded
by the ring followers in England as
invincible. Keen critics, including Eu
gene Corri, the noted referee, had been
satisfied that Goddard did not know
what fear was. With all these attri
butes conceded to him, it is not strange
that the decisive victory of Beckett
made the latter loom up as a super-
boxer.
Beckett has gone through the ex
perience of being on the resined can
vas when the ten seconds were being
tolled. He met Goddard late last year.
soon after the signing of the armistice,
and was knocked out by the Samson
of the ring. But before going down to
defeat Beckett had shown his ability
to punch by dropping Goddard to the
floor.
Then, in the inter-allied boxing tour
nament Bombadier Wells got a deci
sion over Beckett, but the latter came
back later and stopped Wells in short
order.
The new English champion, who reg
istered a knockout over our ownEddie
McGoorty in 17 rounds in London last
Tuesday night, stands about six feet in
height. Is deep chested, has massive
shoulders and his general appearance
carries the impression of tremendous
strength. That he has great punching
power he quickly demonstrated in the
last bout with Goddard. Like Dempsey
at Toledo, Beckett was all over his man
before the first round ended, and.
though he did not succeed in putting his
heavier opponent down, as Dempsey
did, the outcome was foreseen in that
opening canto.
A left sent Goddard down for eight
seconds soon after the second round
began, and it was not long before a
right and a left ended the batle. It
was a -revelation to some 15,000 onlook
ers that anybody in such, brief time
could dispel so completely the idea of
Goddard's invulnerability to attack.

Beckett did not get by without a
sting himself, according to reports, but
this appeared only. to majte him battle
all the harder.
Naturallv Americans smile at the
thought of Beckett being a match for
Jack Dempsey. The terrific punching
power of Willard's conqueror is rated
as being beyond that of any man in the
ring. But the decisive manner in
which England's new champion stowed
away another giant, who was only 23
years of age, may indicate that Beckett,
too, is a marvel with the punch. He
got by with McGoorty, and, although
the latter Is far from being a cham
