THE SUNDAY OTIEGOXIAJf, rOTlTXAXD, JAXTJATtT 18. lf20 L Course for Championships Causes Much Comment. ABUSE OF RIGHTS FEARED Famous Grounds in England Badly Mutilated During War When ' Used as Target Range Kew TORK Jan. 17. A national and permanent golf course over which the more important championship tournaments shall be played annually has frequently been proposed by both English and American enthusiasts. This proposition has aroused much favorable and unfavorable comment; opinion being, apparently, sharply di vided on the feasibility of the plan. It has been pointed out that such a coarse would standardize champion ship play and make it possible to compare the form and ability of the various winners, semi-finalists and others in different years thus furnish ing' a basis for accurate comparisons. Opponents of the scheme take the stand that unless certain drastic re strictions and conditions were im posed a few favored players would greatly benefit owing to their being residents near the course. It is also held that in no other sport is a per petual right given to any one course or field for the holding of a national championship, although it is admitted that in baseball, tennis, track ath letics and similar contests the compe tition surface is far more standard ized than in golf. There are still other angles to be considered and even the conservative British golfers are becoming more in terested each succeeding year in the proposition for a national course. J. H. Taylor has revived this suggestion as it is well known that many of the clubs are becoming weary at having their links overrun for a fortnight or more whenever a championship is played for on any of their courses. On these occasions hundreds of players hack up the teeing grounds for the short holes, scar the fairways, no matter how punctilious they may be in replacing divots, and assault the bunkers. The players, however, present a less serious problem than do the masses of spectators, the majority of whom have little or no regard for the damage they cause by climbing up and down the bunkers and swarming over the putting greens. In addition to the trouble of organizing these meets and the suspension of the gen eral use of the links for play by the members, for a couple of weeks at least, the club has to spend in many Instances hundreds of pounds in re pairing and renovating the ynks after auch titular invasions of its property. ' In view of the possibility of entries from the United States the leading American golfers will be interested In the latest renorts from Kent, Eng land, where the Deal Golf club's course Is situated, which are to the effect that it is doubtful if the famous links can be made playable in time for the 1920 British open championship next spring. Soon after the outbreak, of the war in 1914, the British authorities converted part of this course into a shooting range. Six holes of the links were commandeered by the govern ment officials who quickly changed the fairways greens, hazards and tees Into a chaotic area of well-trampled conimon. m When the Deal club, regained pos session of its property recently, part of the course was in an appalling con dition, the grass being waist high in . places and the fie of about one-third of the links totally obliterated. The work of renovation was tfegun im mediately and is daily being hurried to the limit of all the labor and other help available. There now seems to be no doubt as to the playing of the 1920 amateur championship over the Scotch course at Muirfield. Some changes may have to be made in the conditions for this contest also. Further restriction of entries may be deemed advisable ' in order to avoid the crowding in of many players who have not the ghost of a chance of winning. Some of the controlling clubs are said to be in favor of adopting the American plan by introducing a 36-hole qualifying ground. This scheme was suggested a few years ago and it might be fa vorably reconsidered in time for a trial at Muirfield this year. In an effort to attract additional professional golfers of national repu tation to California, plans are to be laid at a conference here this month for a revival in March of the open championships of the Northern Cali fornia Golf association and of the California Golf association. These events added to the Southern California open championship at An nandale. near here. March 6. 7 and 8, may lure many of the big fellows away from the resorts of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. California golfers hope. It is expected the purses for the proposed events will be made worth while. Several eastern golf professionals Including Tom JlcXamara. Tom Kerri gan and Jock Dowling are to leave for San Francisco about the 20th of this month. They have planned a trip which will take them thence to other points along the Pacific slope before heading south for Texas and other places on their way to Florida, Nor.th Carolina and ueorgia.

All-Western Football Elevens Will Likely Fight Hard Tor Coast Championship. LOS ANGELES. CaL. Jan. 17. An entirely new entry may be seen in the coast in the east vs. west foot ball classic next seasonT Southern fans have become so ac customed to looking to Oregon and Washington as the defenders of their football fortunes that it is with dif ficulty .they will disassociate their names with the annual event. Oregon aspires, and laudably so, to enter the lists again at Pasadena next year. But Coach "Shy" Hunting ton would seem to have before him almost insurmountable difficulties. Stan Anderson. Ken Bartlett, Basil Williams. . Brother Hollis and Keith Williams have played their last game for the lemon-yellow. All of them will be lost to Oregon, either through graduation or other means. Thus passes the last vestige of the mar velous machine which defeated Penn sylvania in 1917, and leaves only the shadow of the team which forced Harvard to fight for its life. And Huntington must supply the sub stance. True, he has a hardy nucleus around which to build, but the re modeling of a team once it disin tegrates, sometimes seems as slow as the building of a coral reef. If Hunt- ngton succeeds he will indeed be the miracle man of the gridiron. The component parts of the Wash ington eleven, which defeated Brown, long since melted into the general mass and are exercising their splen did energies in other directions. Right now it looks like an open field, with no favorites. Possibly, a year hence California or Stanford will have attained the gridiron greatness which will entitle one of them to this highest honor in football, while a southern California entry is not beyond the range of possibilities. Unquestionably, every team worthy of note in the west will have this glittering goal in view when the cam paign opens next fall. No eleven can cherish a more worthy aspiration. Several have written asking if the New Year's crowd in Pasadena was in , reality a record for the coast. While 90 definite data is available on the subject, there is every reason to believe that it was a new mark. The next largest crowd recorded at an. athletic event on the coast . was several years ago in San Francisco when California and Stanford played on the old oisom-sireei grounds to an estimated gathering of 30,000. This immediate section established another record last fall, when the Angels and Tigers wound up the season before the most massive crowd in the history of minor league baseball. For every person who witnessed the Oregon Harvard" game, one was turned away, which means that 35.000 would have been left out in the cold, had it been a cold day. The slight deficiency In the seating capacity should be rem edied before next season. Inadequate facilities alone prevented the pos sibility of establishing a new con tinental mark for attendance. It is as inevitable as a change of voice. Twenty-one is the unterrified time of life. World problems which would stump a Clemenceau. a George , or a Wilson are tapioca for the ris ing young citizen standing on the threshhold of his first ballot box. All of us passed through that painless period. Then came the mental moult ing period in which we were forced to discard the feathers of fantasy. The mind at 21 is just cutting its teeth, preparatory to masticating some real problems. A college boy. like any other boy. makes a useful cituten only after he has been kicked around in the school of experience for a few years. The tournament committee is composed of mature, competent gentlemen and thus far they have registered no mis takes of judgment in making their selections for the annual game. Inci dentally, this is a matter affecting the happiness and, peace of mind of the general public the public which by its tax paying and giving makes pos sible the colleges and universities with their incomes and endowments and without which nobody would have a chance to grow Into a gridiron hero. It is difficult to believe there can be any real basis for the reports that the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate con ference is planning to kidnap Pasa dena's football classic. Such a move, if made, could have back of it only a petty jealousy hardly worthy of the representatives of great universities. Frequently, it is regrettably true that college undergraduates take them selves rather too seriously and dis play a tendency to assume an unwar ranted dignity over things which are in reality mere trifles in the whirl of worlds and transformation of matter. Sudden and violent assumption of authority is one of the easiest things an undergraduate does when placed in a pdsition of imaginary responsi bility. These symptoms are not con fined to college youngsters. They are to be noted elsewhere at a certain age. The growing masculine intellect must pass through it. just as the body must run the gauntlet of colic, mumps and measles. S00 IN CBfJSS-COCXTRT RIX Aztec Fraternity Wins Oup at Cor vallis for Three-Mile Rare. COP.VALLIS, Or.. Jan. 17. (Spe cial.) One of the largest cross-coun try contests ever held on the Pacific coast was staged in Corvallis today. More than 300 men entered, repre senting practically all of the organi nations on the campus.' The three mile course was muddy and fast time was impossible. Eilertsen of Gamma Tau Beta fraternity won first place in 15 minutes and 41 seconds. Aztec fraternity was declared win ner of the silver loving cup pre sented by a downtown merchant by amassing a total of 88 points. Sigma Psi Epsilon was. second with 72 and Phi Delta Theta third with 53. The run was in charge of "Coley" Cole man, 'assistant in the department of physical education.

AMATEUR RULING FAILS FEDERATION' DELAYS ACTION ON" RESTRICTIONS. Governing- Body of Industrial and Semi-Pro Teams MaLex Changes in League Competition. CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 17. An effort to restrict the amateur class to play ers who had never played profes sional baseball failed at the annual meeting of the national baseball fed eration here today, but on reconsid eration it was voted that city associa tions should take up the question and report at the March meeting. Several chances in the playing rules were made. To enter inter-city championship competition a league must start the season with at least six clubs and finish with at least four. Winning industrial teams of each city mast pay to the federation an entrance fee of $50 before It can enter inter-city competition. Semi- pro teams must pay J100.' The 10 per cent of gross receipts of champion' ship inter-city series which each as sociation pays to the federation was raised to 15 per cent. Those cities not charging admission to champion ship contests must give 15 per cent of funds derived from other games, the minimum to be $500. A movement was launched to ex pand the organization to practically all parts of the country. The presi dent will appoint regional chairmen who will visit cities In their dis tricts. OLDF1 ELD VISITS EUGENE Racer Says Name Again Will Be Entered on Speedways. EUGENE. Or.. Jan. 17. (Special.) Barney Oldfield. who was in Eugene yesterday, said that his name will not be absent from the automobile speed ways of the country this year, as he will enter his famous "Golden Subma rine." a high-powered car, with one of his old mechanicians as ilriver, solely for the purpose of advertis ing his tires. He said that he also is having a racing car built by Harry Miller of Los Angeles for entry in different speed events next fall. . Oldfield says he never expects to drive in races again, but is as much interested as ever in the game. The famous racer was here in the interest of his tires and was on . his way to Portland. Moro Loses to The Dalles. THE DALLES. Or.. Jan. 17. (Spe cial.) The Dalles high school third team defeated the Moro high school first quintet in an impromptu match on the local floor- last night. The score was 21 to 20. The Mora hoppers were on their way to Condon to meet the high school of that town but on account of slides on the rail way were unable to get out and forced to a Lay over here. ' BILLIAIIDIST LOOMS AS S1BLK CHAMPION'. POS Itrry Talbot and Billy Bryan Tied for First Place in Class B, With 6 Won and One Lost Kach. Bert Cruikshank Is looming as a bugaboo to all cueists who aspire to championship honors in class A in the annual three-cushion handicap billiard tournament at the Rialto. Cruikshank is not in first place, but with six victories and only one loss, be is not Tar behind Harve Hicks, who is holding top position with five straight victories. Cruikshank has been playing a consistent game of three-cushion carom, anil, judging by the class that he has shown the fol lowers in his most recent matches, he will have to be reckoned with. Hicks has four games yet to play, while Cruikshank has only two more contestants to polish off before he is through. Each player is called upon to play all others, according to the plan of the tournament drawn up by Manager Harry I). Green at the start of the event. Max Levinson is still within shooting distance. Although he has won only three games he has lost only one, so if he continues at his present form he is a contender. - Sam Goodland is holding high run honors In -class A with a mark of seven to his credit. m The leadership In class B took an other twist after the conclusion of last week's play. Larry Talbot and Billy Byan are now tied for first place with six victories and one loss each. Jimmy Martin, who rested in a tie for first place in the fioures compiled up to lust Sunday, is now in third position with five and two, Bryan stepping up in front of him again. The high run up to date in class B still goes to Jake Weinstein. whose mark of six has not been topped. . . E. W. White is proving" a sensation in class C and heads the list of 15 players in that division with nine games won and two lost. W. H. Waring ranks second with nine won and four lost. More games have -een inu u m ciass s man In anv other class because of the larcrr number of players in the lists. J. A. Mitchell and C. Raker are tied for high run honors, each ha 'ing marked up five In a row. Bill Powers and B. S. Wilson remain deadlocked for first place in class n with five victories and one loss apiece. uod t-enneii is third with four won and one lost.

QUEST FDR BOUTS BEGUN MASCOTT, GORMAN AND EVANS LEAVE FOR SOCTII. Xq Trouble Anticipated in (ielting Mali-lies Party Will Stop al Sacramento. Billy Mascott and Joe Gorman, ac companied by Bobby Evans, who has I directed their business affairs since receiving his honorable discharge from the service, left for California last niprht in quest of matches. The party will stop off at Sacra mento, where Evans will see Promoter Ancil' Hoffman regarding a Billy Mascott-Bud Ridley contest. after which the trio will continue on to San Francissco and lx)s Angeles. It is hardly likely that the two box ers will have any trouble in obtain ing matches with the best at their weight in the southland, for both of these boys have proved ma nv times that they are the equals, if not the superiors, of any boy of their pound age on the coast. Mascott is the recognized bantam champion of the coast. Bobby Evans, who will have charge of the two boys, rates high as a man ager of boxers. Though his activities have been devoted mostly to boys of the northwest. In his time he has han dled practically every boy that has ever called this city his home. The boxers who have worked under the Kvanb direction at some time or other, besides Billy Mascott and Joe Gorman. are: Mexican Kid Herman, jimmy Da rev, Al Sommers, Morris Lux. Frankie Huelat. Billy Nelson. Neal Zimmerman. Earl Zimmerman. Jimmy Moscow. Joe Benjamin, Muff Bronson. Ted Hoke. Jack Allen and manv othe 1 "Some Men Don't Know It Yet" says the Good Judge This class of tobacco gives a man a lot more satisfaction than he ever gets out of ordin 'ary tobacco. Smaller chew the good taste lasts and lasts. You don't need a fresh chew so often. Any man who uses the Real To bacco Chew will teU you that. Put Up In RIGHT CUT is a short W-B CUT lads who have appeared before th public of the northwest. Evans has not been particularly anxious about leaving the city with his two star performers, but has found it practically an impossibility to ob tain worthy matches for his men and at the ( same time realize financial returns. The local commissions have been slow in bidding for their serv ices, so rather than stick here and be satisfied with on mstrh a month. j the boxers decided on the trip. Evans is one of the most success ful managers of boxers ever turned out and was also a successful pro moter during the old six-round days. His biggest feat was registered while he was in the service, when he staged the monster benefit boxing , card at the Ice Palace to raise, monev . for various cantonment athletic funds. The card realized a large sura and was crowded with more action than any bill that has ever been staged here. Evans has delayed the trip u a til he was reasonably sure that Billy Mascott's hands would stand uo ua der a strenuous campaign, but the , little bantam has been in training for the past month and seems to be going at top speed. Though he has had nu merous bouts in the gymnasium, his hands have stood the strain, and it is not at all improbable that if the Maa cott hands will stand by him he will be able to obtain matches with the leading bantams in the business, for when Mascott is poing good there are few. if any. boxers who are more pleasing to watch. Joe Gorman should go over big in the southland, as the California fans love, to watch a boy who has plenty of action perform. If Gorman displays the same form in California that he did when stacked up against Earl Kaird at Milwaukie New Year's day. It would be many a day before the commissions of both Milwaukie and Portland would be able to pay him the prices that the California promoters will give him. oreon"fwois hard C.AMK WITH VMVERSirV WASIILNtiTON NEXT.

A. C. whom Whit man played on its trip into Oregon territory this week. The Oregon five have been striving for better team work in their practices this week. Eddie Durno, diminutive forward, seems to be the only member of the varsity who has more than a speak ing acquaintance with the basket. Eddie seems to have great success in slipping the sphere through the hoop and also bats above the average in converting fouls into counters. The lineup used by the varsity dur ing the second game of the series with Whitman seemed to work with much better success than, that used in the opener. In the first game the lineup and the points made were: Durno (12) and Jacobberger ). for wards: Lind (2). center; Chapman (2) and Bellar, guards. The second gam I saw this lineup: Durno (17) and Lind 2). forwards; Latham (2). cen ter: Jacobberger (2) and Chapman, guards. Jacobberger unquestionably works better in his old harness as running mate for Nish Chapman at the guard position, although he also puts up an excellent game at forward. Herm Lind. captain of the five, and Marc Latham are both good scrap pers, and play about a 60-50 game at center. The next conference game to be played in Eugene is on January 30. when Willamette tangles with the lemon-yellow. The next day. Janu ary 31. Oregon will journey to Salem to meet the Methodists on their home floor. On February 6. 6 and 7 three of the biggest games of the season will be played in Eugene. Oregon meets Washington State on February 5, and the University of Washington five plays two return, games here Feb ruary 6 and 7. ui:i:i) hoopers to gather Basketball Players lo Discuss Pos sibility of Outside (.antes. Reed college basketball men will meet tonight at the home of Dr. H. B. Torrey. chairman of the Reed com mittee on athletics, to discuss the pos sibility of outside games for the re mainder of the season. The close of the first inter-class series last week found the senior five still champions after four consecutive years of victories as a c lass. The only defeat during this period was admin istered by the "frosh" last year. Reed freshmen last Wednesday attempted to unseat the senior crew but failed, 23 to 18. Keen interest is being shown in the Daydodger-Dormitory teries which starts next Wednesday. In football the Dormitory has never been beaten by its old rivals, but in basketball the Daydodgers have excelled. This year's dope seems to favor the campus dwellers and the fans are all set for some fast, hard playing. The two teams will play again Friday night in the Reed gymnasium preceding a col lege dane.
