GRAYSOM. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Dec 20.(Spe cial.) For the second consecutive time the University of Oregon Is to uphold the honor of the west In the annual Pasadena classic New Year's day. The big event at the Crown city' was inaugurated on the first day of 1916 when Washing-ton State college, coached by Bill "Lone star" Diets, triumphed over Brown university 14 to 0. During- the 1916 season Hugro Bez dek's Oregon steamroller crushed and humiliated every western team but Washington, with which it played a scoreless tie. and New Year's day, 1917. saw the present Penn State mentor's hustling- aggregation crown its efforts by trampling on Pennsyl vania 14 to 0. This 14 to 0 score in favor of teams from this western slope has become a. 'sort of habit. The Pasadena folks were wise In not featuring intercollegiate football dur ing the recent unpleasantness abroad. Service elevens were pressed into service instead, the Mare Island Ma rines licking the Camp Lewis team in 1918 and the Great Lakes Naval Training Station outfit walloping the Marines a year ago. With the war on- the shelf and col lege football back to its normal place we will once more gaze upon the spectacle of two representative var- sity teams fighting for what, is as near as possible to a national title. ! Harvard and Oregon sport the best : records in the east and west respec- tively. : When the charging crimson and the ! fighting lemon-yellow clash, some twenty-eight or thirty thousand peo I pie will see the. east's best pitted against the best team produced on the Pacific coast this season. Al though Brown in 1915 and Tennsy in 1916 were truly representative ma chines, they did not have the very best tally sheets compiled in the east those years. They were wonderful combinations and the best the Pasa dena people could Induce to make the hike. Harvard Record Impressive. Harvard's 1919 record is very im pressive. But one touchdown has been recorded on her during the entire se mester, that happening in the Prince ton game which ended in a gruelling 10. to 10 tie.- Princeton's goal ' from field in this close struggle and a suc cessfully negotiated drop-kick regis tered by a Yale booter were the only other registrations by crimson ene mies. While whitewashing her opponents the Cambridge institution ran up 65 points on Bates, 47 on Virginia. 20 on Springfield. 17 on Brown and Boston college, which won the Catholic championship of the east, and 23 on Tufts. Yale, her ancient and legen dary foe, succumbed, 10 to 3. This game proved that Coach Bob Fisher's men composed the best drilled team along the east coast as far as moderji football is concerned. Although the results of games alone count when the win and loss column Is summed up at the sounding of taps on a regular playing season, the Uni versity of Oregon's lone loss to Wash ington State college does not count as heavily against the Eugene lads as one who does not know the circum stances would Imagine. Never in the history of the Lane county school has such a heart-break ing game been lost. Oregon was beaten 7 to 0. but she was not licked. No Oregon team is ever whipped. Since the Oregon state varsity was founded and a football team placed on the field, not once has that team slowed up. No matter whether an Oregon machine is piling up huge scores or being hopelessly beaten, it fights on and on. Oregon fight is traditional, "Shy" Huntington's muster roll out 1 played Gus Welch's Pullman squad at ! every department of the game. Eldon l Jenne's punts averaged two yards more in length that did those of Hero Bill Steers, but outside of that fea ture there was not one little thing at which Welch's crew excelled. Pullman Grli Break. Oregon superiority reigned supreme. but still Huntington's hustlers lost. When Stan AnderRon fumbled on a delayed pass and "Swede" Brooks re covered for' the Cougars on the lemon yellow's 1-6-yard line the little God of Luck smiled serenely on the crimson and gray. The break of the game was obtained by Pullman, which seemed to instill heaps of the old dash and after making first down the ball was bucked across in the hands of Fullback Lloyd Gtllis. Twice during this memorable con test did the Oregon huskies have the ball on the Pullman two-yard line. On as many more occasions they had it within the hated opposition's ten yard chalk mark, but each time "Fat" Herreld, Fred Hamilton or some other member of that famous Cougar line smeared plays calculated to shove the pigskin across the Rhine. One might say that Oregon lacked the punch. It did in this contest, but the well-known poke was not on a v:y-atton when Eugene ' trounced Washington 24 to 13. the Oregon Ag gies 9 to 0, Idaho 27 to 6 and the MVltnomah Amateur Athletic club twice. 29 to 7 and 16 to 7. Since New Year's day, 1917, saw the last of the East versus West contests and featured Oregon against Pennsy, the coming classic will mark the lemon-yellow's second stand for west ern football. The Pasadena committee chose wisely when it picked the Eu gene squad. Chairman W. F. Creller. Seward A compose the football committee of the Tournament of Roses association, are to be congratulated for their display of bulldog tenacity which has been rewarded with the coming of Har vard. The famous old Cambridge school is admired for the sportsman like way in which It agreed to cross the continent. Harvard, as the eastern champion goes to Pasadena to fight for the national title. She will be heartily welcomed; -received -with open arms, and. In coming establishes a precedent hr : Sr " n :-: - '-"-.j i j j i I 1 ) A I 1 J w LKFT JOHNNY BECKETT. which will in the future have the ef fect of making any member of the Big Three, the Big-Ten or any other conference in the land eager to have Its very best team participate as a principal In the Pasadena "big game." which is now regarded as the super classic of the football world.

CUE PLAY IS TO E THREE-CUSHION PLAYERS ARE HEADY FfR FINISH. Three Xlglits Per Week Planned After Holidays to Wind Up Milliard Tournament. With the cold snap over Harry Green is again managing to stage from four to six matches each night excepting Saturday and Sunday in the annual three-cushion handicap tourn ament at the Rlalto. With the players hitting their regular form the com petition is beginning to pick up. The big sensation of last week was George Hart's defeat at the hands of N. J. "Red" Davis. Hart, who was the winner in class A last year, had been figured pretty nearly invincible in this year's matches, but received a setback at the hands of Davis. Hart is one of the best three-cush ion players In the state and although he has not yet entirely recovered from the trimming, is determined to win the rest of his matches. Harve Hicks continues to lead all class A cueists with a record of three straight victories. Hicks did not play last week, being out of the city. The m I Hart-Hicks match, when it is sched uled, will draw one of the biggest crowds of the tournament. , There are three other billiardists who have lost only one game up to date in class A, all of whom will fig ure in the race for first price. These are Bert Cruikshank, Joe McCloskey and W. A. Walby. Billy Bryan, not any relation to W. J., is holding his own in class B and rests on top with four wins and one loss. Bryan was defeated for the first time last week. Jake Wein stlen being the man to turn the trick. Alex Merk, Is in second notch with three victories and one defeat now chalked against him. J. A. Mitchell Is heading the per centage column in class C with six wins and two defeats. Waring, play ing class c. has taken part in tnore contests than any other man in the entire tournament. Up to date War lug has played nine games, winning live and losing four. W. R. Phillips, wielding a wicked cue in class D, etill holds the high run record of eight for all classes In the tournament. Sam Goddland, class A; W. A. Wal by, class A and Jake Weinstein, class B, have all registered runs of six. Manager Harry D. Green is planning on staging about six matches on Mon day and Tuesday nights and perhaps Wednesday night.

Dec. 20 (Special.) When State college students return after the Christmas holidays they will be treated to a spacious outdoor ice rink as the result of efforts of Doc Bohler, athletic director of the institution. With freezing weather promised, by the college weather prophet, nothing seems, to be denying the outlook for some real skating for college co-eds and their companions. The entire area covered by the score of tennis courts has been sacrificed by Doc Bohler. and water from the college standpipe has been piped down the Incline back of Bohler gymnasium leading to the new rink.. All that remains to be done Is for the college fire chief to give the command which will result in the flooding of the ground and old Jack Frost will do the rest. - Wilde Match Held Up.

The Harvard football team pulled out of the South station. Bos ton, a little after 2 o'clock this after noon, bound on a trip across the con tinent which will end in a New Year's day game with Oregon at Pasadena, CaL The trip is without example In the athletic annals of Harvard or. for that matter, in the history of the so called big three teams of Harvard. Princeton and Yale. The crimson has sent a crew overseas and a track team in combination with Yale, but has never been allowed to wander very far from its own hearthside when on this side of the water. Forty-five persons are making the trip, 35 of whom are nfflMaiiti- fied with the Harvard party, although paying meir own expenses. lnB piayers and "their """. starting with the nrnhnhla ne-up for the game, are as follows: left end.

The other Harvard men making the trip are Head Coach Bob Fischer. As sistant Coaches Derrlec Parmenter. Ted Mahan. Paul Withlngton. Dick Wigglesworth. Sam Felton and Jim mie Knox: Trainer William "Hooch" Donovan. Graduate Manager Fred W. Moore. Undergraduate Manager Rich ard Higglns. Club Physician Dr. Thomas Richards. Faculty Represen tative Mathew Luce. The newspaper men accompany ing the team were William D. Sulli van, city editor of the Globe; Burton Whitman, sporting editor of the Her ald; Howard Reynolds, sporting edi tor of the Post: William Spargo. sporting editor of the Traveler, and Charles Parker, football editor of the American. The women en route are the Mesdames James. Fisher. Knox and Sullivan. A small student dem onstration took place as the train was pulling out. Oregosi Barka Heavier. According .to the best available statistics Oregon will be outweighed in the rush line by about ten pounds a man. but behind the forwards will have a big advantage over the Crim son backfield. with Eddie Casey scal ing only 155 pounds and Captain Mur ray only two pounds the heavier. Loss of Tubby Clark, the 220 guard, through fear of further injury. Phil Philbin, center, through probation, and Mitchel Gratwick, back. Injured, deprives the team of three letter men. Clark's absence is a severe blow to Harvard's chances. The crimson lineup owes much of its effectiveness the past fall to this big fellow's all around football. If fhe ground con ditions permit. Harvard Is expected to try an open game, using Casey a lot If he Isn't too well covered, and em phasizing pass formations. The "Felton to Casey" toss which won the Yale game and tied that with Prince ton is a threat which the lemon yellow eleven had better look out for in the pinches. Harvard will have Ralph Horween at fullback for most of the game, unless he is Injured, and the punting which fell short in the contest with Yale should be considerably improved this time. Horween's weight will come in handy to hit the line. In case any thing happens to the elder brother, Arnold Horween can be shifted from center to fullback. Squad Stops at Chicago. The Harvard itinerary shows that the football players will arrive in Chicago tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock and will have about four hours stopover. It is planned by the Chicago graduates to entertain the party at dinner. The train is sched uled to leave Chicago Sunday night. Monday the team will be traveling through Nebraska and the following day through Wyoming and Utah. Wednesday the train will carry through Nevada and Into California over the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. On Wednesday afternoon. December 24. the team wiil arrive at Oakland, thence taking the ferry to San Francisco and arriving in that city Christmas eve. In San Francisco Major Moore's party will make its headquarters at the Palace hotel, where it will have breakfast Christmas day. Ttrkt fore noon the Harvard graduates in San Francisco at the University club will entertain the team and the coaches at luncheon. Whether the eleven will have a chance for a worko-Jt remains to be decided, but in all probability the players will have signal drill at least. Christmas night the team will set . out on its final lap of the journey to Pasadena. The football players will have a chance to practice December 26 and will have four other days besides Sunday in which to make their final preparations Aberdeen Seniors Win. ABERDEEN. Wash..
