Activities at the Multnomah club for
'the first tryout of the candidates for
the club team. The first practice has
(been scheduled for this morning and
in large turnout is expected by Man
ager Anderson.
Two quintets will be organized to
Irepresent the club. The first annual
-.Pacific Northwest association basket
ball tournament will be held in Port
land in February, and it will be neces
sary for the MuHnomah club to have
(two cluba in the field, as the com
petition will be too strong for one
"taai to fight. As there are several
former college and university bas
ketball star3 who are now members
,mf the club, the outlook for two
'.a-trong teams is very good.
r. Games with the Pacific coast inter
collegiate conference teams will be
scheduled with the Winged M teams,
and before the season Is over the lo

tion on the local floor against the
:-wearers of the Winged M. There will
also be contests between the Mult
nomah club team and several inde
pendent local Quintets.
The Seattle Y. M. C. A. is another
tro.-.g quintet in the northwest which
probably will tangle with the Multno
jmab. team before the season is over.

The newly-elected manager of the
Tultnomah club. Fred Carlton, ac
companied by former Manager Dow
Walker, attended the conferences of

GRIDIRON SEASON PRODUCES
GOSSIPS MASS OF MATERIAL
Decision of Yale to Stick to Old-fashioned Game Ends Disastrously for
Warriors of Old Eli Who Scorn Open Play.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6. No other
football season of recent years
has produced more material for
future discussion and debate than the
one Just brought to a close, and no
other team has made a larger con
tribution to this store than the Yale
eleven, which shattered a record of
20 years' standing by losing both of
its major engagements. The Elis had
the makings of the greatest team in
the east and their failure to make the
most of their many natural advan
tages will be recorded in history as
one of those things that are beyond
all human understanding.
Properly handled, the Elis would
have outclassed all other contenders
for the mythical eastern title. Their
material was by all odds the best in
this section. They had weight and
power to an exceptional degree and
did not lack for speed and experience.
They were admirably equipped to play
all sorts of football, from the oia
slugging game of 20 years ago to the
newest and most open, and by ju
diciously mixing the two might have
probably - would have compelled
recognition as one of the greatest
elevens of modern times.
They elected to pursue one style of
play, however, and chose the line
crushing game of 20 years ago as
their model. Having made their
choice, they clung to It and developed
the strongest running attack that has
been shown by any eastern team this
year. Colgate at its best could not
drive through a line as Yale did
against both Princeton and Harvard,
but Colgate had what Yale did not
have an open game to supplement
its concentrated line assault and give
it a scoring punch.
Going into their final game, the
Elis had nothing but a battering ram
with which to subdue opponents who
had been coached to perfection to re
pel just that very sort of attack. Had
Yale played a harder schedule the
Bulldog might have seen the error
of his ways in time to change them.
But he encountered no Colgate, no
West Virginia, to teach him the value
of a forward-paBS offense, and when
the knowledge was finally driven
homo to him by Princeton it was too
late to shift. He could only go on
with what he had. He did and was
beaten.
A good forward pass, or even the
threat of one to scatter an opponent's
defense, would have added immeasur
ably to the effectiveness of the Yale
attack. It would have forced the ends
to deploy and defensive backs to take
a station farther from the line of
scrimmage and thus lessened the re
sistance to a straightaway running
offense. But Yale had no pass to
speak of, hence no threat worth both
ering about, and so the ends came in
and the backs moved up and xaie en
countered a defense as hard and con
centrated as het own offense.
Glenn Warner and his Panthers had
the same experience at the start of
the season. The Pittsburg mentor had
an idea that he could get by with an1

tried it. All went well until he tack
led Syracuse and found the Salt city
outfit waiting for him . with ends
drawn in. Against ''lis defense his
system of mass plays between the
tackles went plumb smash and Pitts
burg suffered its first defeat by any
collegiate rival in almost five years.
How was I to know," the Old Fox
asked, "that Syracuse would revert
to a style of end defense that was
considered obsolete?"
Harvard had no such running at
tack as Yale uncovered, but did have
a forward pass and scored 10 points
oecause or it. A forward pass put
Horween in position to kick a field
goal in the first period and another
heave, propelled by Babe Felton and
caught by Eddie Casey, was directly
responsible for the touchdown scored
in me succeeding period. This pass.
by the way, was one of the finest
demonstrations of the overhead of
fense that the writer has seen this
year.
It was brilliantly conceived and as
brilliantly executed and was aulte un
like tne pass with whi-h Felton and
Casey tied the Princeton game on No
vember 8. The latter was a diagonal
heave over one end of the line, with
the thrower standing back in kick
formation, while the peg which
spelled disaster for Yale was thrown
directly over the line from a point
not more than six yards from the
line. The play was so beautifully
masked that Casey and one of the
crimson ends were both in position to
handle it and had Casey missed it the
end would probably have grabbed it.
e
Big Jim Braden. 200 pounds of sheer
strength and nerve, was the only Yale
back who made any real trouble for
the Fishermen until, late in the game,
the Elis uncovered "Mack" Aldrich. a
tall, slim youngster, who might have
turned the entire tide of battle if he
had started sooner. With the Elis

tie seemed to be made of steel and
concrete as he ripped, smashed and
fought his way through the Crim
son defenders for five, six or eight
yards at a clip, yet ' even he was
unequal to the task of crossing the
Harvard goal line when a mere mat
ter of 18 Inches separated Yale from
a touchdown.
Aldrich never did get into the game
until the last period, but he made his
presence felt In the limited time at his
disposal. He was easily the most spec
tacular back on the field, and one is
tempted to wonder why he was not a
member of the original cast. It is just
about as certain as anything can be
that he will be very much, among
those present when - Yale tackles
Princeton and Harvard next season.

Lincoln Wants Coach.
A coach has not yet been selected at
Lincoln high, bu.t the athletic board

tice has been going on daily in the
Railsplittera' gymnasium. Kenneth
Irle and Harry J. Campbell have been
mentioned as coaches for the 1920

Not as much interest is being taken
in basketball at Jefferson right at

Football Players Are Expected
to
Turn Out for Practice With
Hoop Brigade.
OREGON STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 6. (Spe
cial.) Basketball is occupying: the
center of the stage in the athletic
world up at Corvallis, and regular
workouts are beings held four times a
week. Abundance of material is evi
denced, but the greater part of the
men are not experienced in inter
collegiate basketball.
The greater part of the uractice
periods so far have been taken up
witn tne fundamental parts of the
hoop game, and groups of six or eight
men are scattered all around the large
gym floor, passing around the circle
and turning with the ball to pass on
to the next fellow. Frnm 3n tn an
men have been turnlno- out roi.la ri I
for the early workouts.
Football Men Are Free.
Football men will now be able to
turn out for basketball practice, as
the season ended with the Goniaga
game at bpokane on Thanksgiving.
some talk or a game with Notre Dam
held up a few aspirants, but the east
erners couldn't arrange a trip before
Christmas vacation, and college au
thorities at O. A. C. decided that was
too long to keep men in training and I
too much time would be taken from I
mid-term examinations, so the matter
was dropped.
Some of the most likely candidates
are tiuriey and Elkelman for center; I
JKickson, Arthurs and Stenson. for- I
wards, and Reardon. Ellertsen and I
Clough. for guards. "Cack" Hubbard,
an-conrerence football end. Is trying
out for a forward position. Rose and
itasberger are out for guard posi
tions.
Reardon Haa Bad Knee.
Gurley and Captain Reardon are
both veterans of Coach Hod Bay's
championship team of 1918 and must
both be conceded a good chance of
placing. Reardon's bad knee, how
ever, is a big drawback to the speedy
little guard, and may interfere with
last floor work. He suffered a dislo
cated knee early in the football sea
son and has been troubled with this
Injury ever since. Eikelman, center on
last year's team, will register in col
lege next semester. Arthurs, who
played forward on the 1919 team, is
also starting; in strong. Two of last
year's subs, Rickson and Ellertsen,
are again on the Job and will push
someone for a position on this year's
quintet.
Practice during the next two weeks
will bring out any latent talent that
may be out and will serve to condition
the men and get much-needed train.
ing in shooting and passing. Manager I
Klchardson will try to arrange a trip
during the holidays, during which a
number of practice games could be
played.
Freshman basketball will be start
ed the first of the week under Assist
ant Coach Brewer Billie. The year
lings have a good bunch of men. who
have formerly played on prep school
teams.
Coach Zuppke Thinks Quick.
Coach Zuppke of the Univesrity
of Illinois eleven won the champion
ship of the western colleges con
ference at Columbus, O., recently, by
quick thinking. A play had just been
completed and Illinois had the ball.
Eight seconds were left to play with
even a lineup to say nothing of giv
ing the signal and beginning a play-
lmpossible in that length of time.
Zuppke, however, was equal to the
occasion. He rushed a substitute
guard on to the gridiron, which im
mediately gave time out. and in thi
substitution the team was in posi
tion before the regular player had
left the field, and the eight seconds
still left were sufficient to drop-kick
the goal from the field that gave
Illinois the title by 8 to 7.
Landgraf After Site for Franchise.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (Special.)
Latest is that Ernest Landgraf has
eyes on Syracuse as the location for
his International league franchise. He
is said to be negotiating with local
men to build a ball park to house his
team and will transfer from Newark
if Syracuse comes across. On their
part the Syracuse men who appear as
the prospective backers want assur
ances that Pat Donovan will be re
tained as manager. Landgraf is said
to have agreed to this.
World Series Bleachers Removed.
The Cincinnati club has removed
the temporary bleachers in left and
center fields that were put up to
accommodate world's series crowds.
but the field boxes will be made
use of on big days next year and the

be retained and used when there is an

YANKEES DROP LAW SUIT
NEW YORK CLUB WITHDRAWS
INJUNCTION PETITION.
Colonel Huston Announces Fight
Will Continue Against Ban's
Chicago Meeting.
NEW YORK. Dec. C The Ne
York American league club today
witnarew its application for a tern
porary injunction restraining Ban
Johnson, president of the American
league from holding the annual meet
ing of the league in Chicago next
Wednesday. The hearing was held
before Justice Samuel Greenbaum of
the supreme court here last Thurs
day.
According to the New York club,
some legal points came up which
made it advisable to withdraw the
injunction.
"The board of directors, however,
take the stand that the meeting called
for New lorK Wednesday is the only
legal meeting and that if five other
lubs meet in Chicago at Johnson s
call their meeting is illegal." said
I Colonel Huston, half owner of the
local club, today.
We base that view on the decision
of Justice Wagner in the Mays case.
also on the opinion expressed by Jus-
I tice Oreenbaum in open court last
I Thursday that the board of directors
was the real authority in the league.
"If an illegal meeting is held in
Chicago and attempts made to elect
new board of directors, it will mean
that the board is illegally elected and
that the present board of directors
will hold over. Any action which
might be attempted by an illegal
board of directors will be fought by
every legal means within our power.
CANNEFAX IS GOOD SPORT
Three-Cushion Champ Wins Ap
plause of Sporting World.
The whole sport world extends Its
hand of congratulation to Bob Canne
fax. the three-cushion billiard cham
pion. Bob was the champion before
he went through that trying round
robin play at Cleveland, but he. like
a true sportsman, forfeited his claim
to the title in order that the new
standardization of billiard champion
ships might be put into effect. He
had faith in his own ability and it
didn't fail him. He met the country's
best three-cushioners in those two
weeks' battles and came out "with
eight victories and but one defeat. He
had to play his best, too. to carry off
the prize; and now that it is his he
may profit more handsomely by it
than were he the champion and had
to defend his title as in the old days.
For a year now he will be the cham
pion, but must play through another
year in order to continue as the lead
er of the game.
He is the second champion to re
linquish his claim to a title to play
I through under the new aystem and
to come through the' wir.nor. The
I other was Willie Hoppe in the balk-
line game.
In sorry contrast is the position
taken by Frank Taberski. the pockei-
Diuiara title bolder of the time be
fore the new rule went Into effect.
Taberski objected to the adoption of
the playing-through system, and held
out so long that his name is omitted
rrom the championship which begins
in Philadelphia a week from Monday.
Taberski may be the best player at
pocket billiards In the world, but his
claim that he is still the champion
cannot hold, since those who control
the games of the green table cay
otherwise.
In the pocket-billiard games on De
cember 1 nine of the best players,
some of them ex-champions of the
style, will take part, and a man fit to
be called champion will come through.
JNO healthier move was made in the
interest of billiards in all its forma
than that which prevails now to as
certain who the real champion of each
class is.
BROTHERS' PLAY NOTED
CENTERS IN PRINCETON-YALK
BATTLE RELATED.
Many Other Instances Brought to
Lisht of Boys of Same Family
Playing Together or Opposite.
NEW YORK. Dec. 6. Never has a
year produced so many brothers play
ing football as there were this sea
Bon. The fact was brought out prom
inently by the two Callanane. Tim
and Mike, who opposed each other at
center in the Princeton-Yale battle at
New Haven. Naturally the play of
these two men was featured in every
account of "the game, but it also
served to bring to 'ght the other
Instances of brothers playing the
game.
When Pittsburg met Washington
and Jefferson the week before Herb
Stein, the Pitt center, found his
brother, Russ Stein, at tackle for W.
and J A week later in the middle
west Fred Fulton, playing for West
ern Reserve, met his brother. Willis
Fulton, on the Wooster eleven.
There is Jini Robertson, now cai-taln-elect
of Dartmouth, who broke
his leg in the Penu game, and his
brother, Harry ' Robertson, the Syra
cuse center, both rated among the
best men in their positions of the
year.
Harvard has the Horweens. Arnold
and Ralph, playing, and Bucknell has
the Hendren brothers, Dick and
Johnny, in her football squad. The
Morrow brothers take care of the
ends at Northwestern university, and
Coach Zuppke at Illinois has in Bob
and his brother. Ralph Fletcher, the
star quarter and halfback of the
team.
The queerest twist of all Is at
Pennsylvania. where two sets of
brothers are regulars on the eleven.
There are the Millers. Heinle and Ray.
playing ends, and the Wrays, Lud and
Aleck, playing center an-d guard. Such
brotherly affair as the Penn line
has never appeared before in football
nistory so far as memory serves. In
cidentally Penn has another Wray.
Rex, but he is not related to Lud
and Aleck.
Going back over the history of foot
ball there are several instances of
brothers playing football at the same
time. Among the more notable of
these is the case of the Rosengartens
t Princeton and Penn. In the last
game between these two universities.
played at Trenton In 1894. which Penn
won. 12 to 0, Mitchell G. Rosengarten
played right end for the red and blue
and his brother. Albert H. Rosengar
ten. was substituted at right half
back for Princeton durirg the frav.
taking the place of Dr. W. P. Ward
of Rochester, N. Y.
There is nothing new about broth
ers opposing each other in a Prince-
ton-lale game. In 1915 almost the
same situation was present as this
season. That year Captain Aleck
Wilson was the Yale quarterback and
his brother, "Woody" Wilson, went
in at end for the Tigers during the
game. A third Wilson brother. Tom.
played guard on the Tigers' 1912
eleven.
Princeton also had the Trenckman
brothers in 1914. Ed was a guard.
while Fred played halfback on the
orange and black team that year.
For many years also Princeton had
one of the Poe brothers playing. There
were six of these, but peculiarly none
ever played on the same eleven.
Sweden Prepares for Gaines.
STOCKHOLM. Dec 6. The Olympic
committee of Sweden has recently
made its report to the government on
the measures to be taken in regard to
the coming Olympic games at Ant
werp in August, 1920. The cost of
having Sweden adequately repre
sented at the games has been esti
mated by the committee at a mini
mum of 600,000 kroner.
In spite of tho heavy cost of raising
a team of athletes, the committee is
of the opinion that Sweden is bound
to attempt to maintain the prestige
gained at the last games held in
Stockholm, and for this purpose a
sufficiently well qualified . and nu
merous body of athletes will be re
quired. Goal Kick Record Registered.
GEORGETOWN. Ky., Dec 6. What
is believed to be a new American
football record was made in the game
between Georgetown college and Cen
ter college when Weaver, center of
the Center team, kicked 11 straight
goals after touchdowns, running his
record for successive goal kicks up
to 46. He had missed only one at
tempt at goal this season. The game
was won by Center, 77 to 7. McMillan,
Roberts and Weaver played star
games for the Colonels. Georgetown's
only touchdown was a result of a 70
yard run after tbe recovery of a louse
ball by Moss, Tiger tackle.

Bone Play Remembered.
Arthur Devlin was one of the great
est third basemen the game ever saw.
Only Jimmy Collins and Bill Bradley
ever player the bag with his con
sistent brilliancy, yet Arthur pulled
one of the two most abBurd things
ever seen on the diamond. He tagged
a coacher on third base, while tho
real runner romped merrily home.
