ing upon the qualifications of the
various players selected for his first
eleven. Walter Camp writes as fol
lows in Colliers WeeKly:
"The lineup of the All-America of
191 ! presents the most powerful and
versatile aggregation of players that
has been on the gridiron for a long
time. It .is practically all veteran
material educated in the modern
game. There is no man on it who has
not developed to the full, the possi
bilities of his position. It is a com
bination of strong, hard-hitting,
powerful and experienced players,
with a line of exceptional physique to
lift and open holes; tight on defense,
and with a backtield. combining speed
and power in running, with strong
interference for each other in a most
remarkable way. It has short and
long-distance accurate drop kickers,
a long-distance punter and a quarter
back who never muffs and who is not
only sturdy but extremely elusive
when once started down the field with
the ball. There Is also to work with
him a man who is a speed demon and
ever ready to take some of the kicks
and run them back, thus making the
most dangerous combination to the
opponents.
"We have in the ends, Higgins of
Penn State and H. Miller of Pennsyl
vania, a pair of players of remarkable
speed in getting down the field and
covering kicks, both of them strong
in breaking up and sifting through
interference, and each an adept on re
ceiving forward passes. Circling these
ends has proven well-nigh impossible
all season. In the two tackles. West
of Colgate and Henry of Washington
and Jefferson, we have men who have
practically dominated this position
for two or three years, and in one
West a long-distance punter of both
dry and wet ball, as well as a field
goal kicker from placement. Henry's
defense has been so good as to prac
tically force the attack to give him
a wide berth, and his endurance is
phenomenal.
Guards Great on Defensive.
"The two guards. Alexander of
Syracuse and Youngstrom of Dart
mouth, are the greatest pair of de
fensive guards that have ever been
seen on the gridiron, Alexander par
ticularly against running plays, and
Youngstrom the terror of the oppo
nents when forced to kick. This man
blocked so many kicks this season
that every punter who played against
him feared him and learned to take
plenty of room when Youngstrom ap
peared in the line, and even then
found upon occasion that the kicks
must be hurried.
Weaver of Centre college Is one of
the beet-built men for the position of
center that has ever played In the
middle of the line. He is lighter in
actual pounds than the usual type of
center, but that weight is so placed
that as pivot man he can play either
in the line or as roving center, and in
fact combine the two, for he will take
a play on or outside tackle even when
he Is playing in the line. He is a
good, steady passer and opens holes
and drives forward, utilising every
pound of his weight. He is also very
alert at Jumping and spoiling short
forward passes over the middle of the
line. Weaver is the best converter of
touchdowns into goals, having missed
but one goal out of 47 tries, an in
Valuable asset in a close game.
McMtllln la Aggressive.
"McMllUn of Centre gets .the
quarterback berth for his all-around
utility, speed and hard-hitting aggres
siveness. He works his team up to
the limit of their possibilities and
when he had to make the fight pgalnst
West Virginia, who had just beaten
Princeton 25 to 0. he showed the
greatest headwork in his use of plays,
and with a score 6 to 0 against him
so handled his men as to win in the
end. 14 to 6.
"But the trio behind him would be
the envy of any team Casey of Har
vard. Harley of Ohio State and Rodg
ers of West Virginia. Casey tied the
Princeton game, coming stronger and
faster when his team was practically
beaten and in the last few minutes of
the game, after bringing his team
within scoring distance, he then re
ceived the forward pass that yielded
the tying points! He won the Yale
game, for he not only received the
forward pass, but by quick head and
foot work he secured the other IS
yards necessary after he caught the
ball, winding his way through the
Yale backs. He is a good forward
passer, a very fast man with the ball
and particularly elusive In his turn
ins; and twisting. Harley of Ohio
Slate is a fitting mate for Casey and
a star drop kicker, while we have In
our tackle West of Colgate, an Ideal
man for the long place kicks. Harley
is also one of the hardest men in the
country to stop when once started
on a run.
Hodgers Good Passer.
"We complete the trip with Rodgers
of West Virginia, the hard-hitting
backtield man who is even more adept
at throwing the pass than any man
who has played this season. He can
throw all kinds of passes and make
them connect. In his running game
he hits fiercely on and outside of
tackle and even when grasped goes
twirling, twisting on. But above all
this he is a field general who has
struck the hignest spot in combina
tion of running and forward passing
flays, as Instanced when In the
Princeton game he ao used his plava
and team as to run up no less than
IS points on Princeton in the first
period, which consisted of only 12
minutes" play! By similar plays he
brought about a touchdown on Center
in four minutes.
"This team would also be provided
with two generals and would start
its game with Rodgers giving the sig
nals from the fullback position. If
anything happened to Rodgers the
generalship would then devolve upon
Mciiiliin, a man quite competent to

handle it. The advantage of having
the fullback give the signals Is very
great in this game, where the direc
tion of the attack In the use of the
forward pass depends considerably in
sizing up the secondary defense of
the opponents. Rodgers Is an expert
in this respect and by this means we
should keep Mcilillin always fresh
for his own work and runs."

ATHLETIC RELATIOX CUT OFF
Tiger School Formally Breaks With
University of Nebraska.
COLUMBIA, Mo, Pes. 12. (Spe
cial.) The first formal announce
ment of the severances'?? all athletic'
relations with the UniversPy of Ne
braska was given by President A.
P.oss Hill in his talk on "Intercol
legiate Athletics and Missouri Uni
versity" at the championship football
dinner here recently. The Tiger
school, according to President Hill,
had consented in the past to schedule
games with the Huskers only because
they were In the Missouri valley con
ference, and with Nebraska out of the
conference the Missouri executive said
that he would look with disfavor on
any resumption of Tlger-Cornhusker
games.
"Nebraska university," said Dr. Hill,
"will be back, I believe, in the next
five or six years, begglrg admission
to the Missouri valley conference.
Missouri does not now, nor will she,
as is the custom with some athletic
departments, favor scheduling games
with schools away off on the Atlantic
seaboard, or some other remote place.
Nebraska is not geographically a
school which Missouri should meet,
and now that the Cornhuskers are out
of the conference we will schedule no
more games with that school."
It is quite possible, according to
the president, that Missouri, with a
team like the one this year, will go
out of the valley for one game, but
that ga
me.
he stated, would not be
with Nebraska.
New Umpire to Be Xamed.
When the president of the Amer

be found for William H. (Bill) Dlneen,

PREP OASKETERS SET
TEX SCHOOLS EXTER LEAGUE
WITH STROXG TEAMS.
Post-Holiday Season Expected to
Find Tossers Going "On High"
Throughout City.
BY GEORGE W. COWNE.
With the start of the 1920 basket
ball season but a few weeks off, the
followers of the Indoor game are pre
paring for a fast series of contests.
Ten schools will enter the inter-
scholastic basketball league this sea
son with a fair representation of let
ter men from last season on each of
the quintets.
A meeting of the directors of the
lnterscholastlc league has been called
for this week, at which time the plans
for the 1920 hoop season will be
threshed out. With ten teams in the
league there is some talk of dividing
the circuit into two divisions, but
this plan will hardly meet with the
approval of the fans. The idea of
having two divisions In the league
was tried out two years ago and
did not prove to be very popular with
the supporters of the king of In
door games.
After the directors of the league
come together this week and decide
on the final details and plan under
which the league will be conducted
the coaches of the schools will get
together and draw up a tentative
schedule to be approved by the board
of directors.
The snow and frigid weather which
closed the schools during the last
three days of the week put a stop to
all basketball practice. There remain
only a few days before the Christ
mas holidays will again call a halt
on the workouts of the basket shoot
era. After the first of the year the
hoopers will return and begin the
grind in earnest in preparation for
the opening games of the season-
Jeff. Has 23 In Squad.
Coach Quigley of the Jefferson team
expects to have over 25 candidates
out when the practice at the blue' and
gold institution gets going in full
swing. Eight letter men from last
year will try for positions on the
first quintet this season. Chester
Froude, forward. Zip Youmans and
Louis Coulter, guards; Anderson, Tou
sey and Mike Goodell, centers; Russell
Burton and Carlos btee are all ex
perienced men of last t Jason's team
which will form the nucleus of Coach
Quigley's blue ard gold five this
year. Bay Nelson, who .ilayed on
the Lewiston (Idaho) high school
team last year, is at present attend
ing Jefferson and will be a valuable
addition to tbe team, as his record
at the Idaho school shows he la a
player of all-star caliber. Other play-
era who have shown up in the pre
liminary practice and class games at
Jefferson are Bill Jasmen. James Os
burne, Robert Chrlsman, Art Andrews,
Peek. Broughton, Earl Watson, Harry
Smith and Gram.
Lincoln high basketball players
turned out for their first practice un
der the coaching of Kenneth Irle last
Monday. Irle, who Is well known in
Portland as an independent basket
ball star, has some of the best mate
rial In the city from which to form
a championship squad. All of Lin
coln's 1918 championship quintet have
answered the call for practice with
the exception of Sanders, last year s
all-star center, who has finished
school.
Candidates Are Hustling.
Harrison. Leggett and Akin are
making a strong fight to fill the po
sition held by Sanders. Cole and Du
binsky, 1918 all-star guards, are back
again, but It Is doubtful if Dublnsky
will finish the season with the team,
as he graduates In January. If he
can be prevailed upon to take a post
graduate course the Hailsplltters will
not have to worry about the guard
positions, as Cole and Dublnsky are
two of the best in league.
At forward Lincoln has Beck,
Wright. Gallo and Mlsh, all first-class
players. Beck is a goot shot and can
also hold down a guard position In
big-league style. Wright is without
a doubt one of the best forwards In
the league ana was the high point,
man of all the schools last year. Gallo
and Mlsh showed up well on the sec
ond string last season.
George Ad Dewey, who coached the
championship Lincoln five last year, is
piloting the Columbia university team
this season. At the present time
George McKiel. Charley Lake. Terry
Johnson. Tony Dwyer and Alstock
have showed up to good advantage
TEXNIS POWERS URGE CHANGE
IN SCORING METHOD.
Committee of National Association
Also Suggests Change In
Foot Fault Rule.
NEW YORK. Dec 13. Radical
changes in the scoring rules, foot
fault code and in the association form
of voting will be proposed at the an
nual meeting of the United States Na
tional Lawn Tennis association to be
held here next February. These sug
gested alterations were rounded Into
legislative form at a meetli.g of the
executive committee which did not
end until early hours this morning.
The fact that the various proposals
will go to the annual meeting with
the general support of the committee
is thought to insure their adoption by
the organization as a whole.
The most striking change is the
proposal to eliminate the old system
of scoring entirely and provide a
1-2-3 method that will make such a
score as "15 love" only a memory.
The proposed rule follows:
"If the server wins the first point,
the score is called 1-in; if the re
ceiver wins the first point, the score
is called 1-out. If each player wins
one point the score Is called 2-1: if
the receiver wins It, the score is called
1-2 and the scoring is continued in
this manner until either player has
won four points, when game is scored
for that player, unless the other
player has scored three points: when
the score is called 4-3, or 3-4, as the
case may be, and game is scored for
the player who first thereafter gains
a lead of two points."
The committee has swept aside the
old foot fault rule and proposes In
stead the following:
"Before commencing to serve the
server shall stand with both feet at
rest behind that is, further from the
net than the base line, and within the
limits of the centtr mark and the side
line. Both feet shall be kept behind
the base line until the racket strikes
the ball."

YOST HAS RULE CHANGES
MICHIGAN COACH PROPOSES
" CLIPPING PENALTY.
Veteran Mentor Would Allow
Touchdown If Offense Has No
Bearing on Play.
CHICAGO. Dec. 13. Changes that
will, he says, go far toward bring
ing about uniform interpretation of
football rules will be suggested to the
meeting this winter of the rules com
mittee by Fielding Yost, coach of the
University of Michigan since 1901. it
became known today. The proposed
modifications would In no way affect
the play, according to Coach Yost.
It Is not the spirit of the rules to
take away touchdowns by inflicting
penalties for fouls which had no bear
ing on the play, the Michigan mentor
holds. He believes the rules Imposing
ten-yard penalties for "clipping" or
running into an opponent after the
ball has been declared dead, and for
crawling, should be changed to apply
the punishment in such manner that
loss of a touchdown, if one should be
made, would not be caused by bring
ing the ball back to where it was put
in play and measuring the distance
from that point.
Coach Yost favors strongly a
penalty being levied against a team
that Is not on the field ready to play
at the hour for the game to start.
The 15-yard penalty for attacking a
runner when he has gone out of
bounds, should be inflicted from the
point where the ball was carried
across the lines, instead of where it
was snapped back, in the opinion of
YOBt.

Happy Louis Kuehn, national junior
diving title holder and member of
Multnomah club, will leave next
month for Stanford university, where
he will enter his freshman year. Hap
has been at sea for some time as to
which of the colleges he would go to.
but the fact that Ernest Brandsten -of
the Palo Alto institution is one of
the recognized leaders of diving in
struction in the country finally
clinched it for Stanford
Clarence Pinkston of Oregon Agri
cultural college, who dove in the re
cent Junior diving meet here, will also
join the Stanford swimming team.
Pinkston for a time was thinking of
enrolling at Reed and Joining Mult
nomah club, but the possibilities of
fered at the southern institution
finally won out.
With the leaving of Kuehn the div
ing affairs of Multnomah will revert
to Smead and Stryker. Smead proved
himself the better man at the recent
meet and is in training now for the
Oregon state meet in January. No
date has been set for the state events,
but it is presumed that both Pinkston
and Kuehn will be in the south by the
time they are called.
To William Bachracn. coach of the
Illinois Athletic club swimming team,

aquatic critic in America, will fall the
honors of managing the American

That no grass will grow under the
feet of Norman Ross Is apparent to
all who will closely observe his sched
ule for the coming half year. He will
sail from Honolulu for Australia De
cember 20. His Australian schedule
is Sydney, January 3. 1. 10; Brisbane,
January 17. 21, 24: Melbourne. Feb
ruary 7. 11, 14; Adelaide, February
21 and 25.
No mention is made of his intended
stop at Honolulu on his return to
meet the duke and Langer in the
spring meet In the islands. He is to
arrive in San Francisco about March
10 and will leave at once for .the
national indoor events to be held in
the east in April and May. He will
come to the coast for the national
400-yard relay and the national water
polo championships scheduled for
Sutro baths. San Francisco, in May.
From the coast he will cross the coun
try to New York, embarking there
for the Olympic games at Antwerp.
The fact that the high schools of
New York. Chicago. -Philadelphia.
Minneapolis, San Francisco and Los
Angeles have swimming teams should
give the local boys something to think
about. Enough material surely can
be found in the eight local highs to
start something in Portland.
Swimming is rapidly becoming a
major sport, having been voted upon
favorably by several of the coast col
leges this year. Oregon Agricultural
college and the University of Wash
ington have already contracted for
new tanks. Stanford and California
are already equipped, as is also Ore
gon, even though it is small.
There are tanks a-plenty in Port
land for the teams to practice in and
in which to stage meets. Arrange
ments could doubtless be made with
Multnomah club and the Portland
natatorium. Couch and Shattuck
schools have tanks also.
