Goss of Portland, Krnest V. Young of Vancouver, B. C, and Bob Kussell of Seat tle. Catlin Wolfard and Phil Neer of Portland are accorded position No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in the 1919 Northwest International tennis rank ings announced yesterday, by a tele gram from Krnest V. Young of Van couver, B. C, who as a member bf the ranking committee with Walter A. Goss of Portland and Bob Russell of Seattle was the last one t&i pass on the 1919 decisions. This signal honor accorded to Wol fard and Neer is the greatest that has ever befallen youth in tennis and means that quality must be served. The selection of Catlin Wolfard for Xo. 1 means that he was considered the greatest all around player in the northwest by the ranking committee, their decision being based on facts and figures on his performances throughout the 1919 season on the courts. One Defeat Sustained. Wolfard went through the season with only one defeat being marked up against him and that was not in a regular tournament. The match lost occured in Seattle when he went north as a member of the ten-man team ot the Multnomah Amateur Athlet'c dub which played opposing ten-man teams of the Tacoma tennis club and the next day the Seattle tennis club. Wol fard was victorious in Tacoma, but lost in Seattle the following after n'n. his only defeat of the season. Wolfard's brilliant play in the Ore gon state championship tournament in which he won the title was about the greatest work ever witnessed by local tennis followers. Wolfard tri umphed over Marshall Allan in the finals after four sensational sets, 2-6, 6-1. 6-3. 2-6. Phil Neer, who is given No. 2 rank ing male perhaps a more sensational record than Wolfard for the season, but his game was hardly the finished work of Wolfard. Neer played in more tournaments and amassed for himself a most enviable record. He failed to get into the finals of the Oregon state championships, but more than redeemed himself in the northwest championship tournament ' later in the season in Tacoma, In which he won the singles title, going through the entire week of play los Ing only one set. that to Wallace Scott in the finals. Scott and Neer teamed up in the doubles and won the north" west championshii. Neer In Junior Champion, Besides winning numerous other contests Neer captured the boys' junior crown defeating the best in the northwest and represented this section of the country at the national junior championships at Forest Hills, New York. Wallace Scott of Tacoma. given third position will have to be reck oned with this year and gave the best of the tennis players a hard run in 1919. He is a hard, flashy player and difficult to figure. Scott played a steady consistent game all year and in fighting his way to the finals of the northwest championships stamp ed himself as worthy of rank near the top. Marshall Allan of Seattle is a popu lar choice for fourth honors and de serves the position. He figured in every big tournament of the season and his game was of the highest type. Allan proved the hardest man to beat In the northwest in 1919 and lost few matches, defeating many of the king pins. Allan is well known to Port land tennis enthusiasts and. has played in tournaments here for many seasons although he is just graduated from the junior class. Seattle Youngster I Fifth. The selection of Wybert Mansel Smith of Seattle as No. 5 will be an other popular one. Smith is one of the best at the nets that the north west has ever produced and took his ehaTe of the laurels in various tour naments. C. H. Mercer. No. 6; B. A. Rhodes, No. 7 and A. S. Milne, No. 8. are all of Vancouver, B. C, and are the pick of British Columbia's racquet wielders. Jack Toung, the young Spokane star is ranked No. 9 on the strength of the many battles that he gave other ranking players in 1919, al though he did not defeat one of them. Wright is a stiff proposition and will bear watching in coming seasons E. J. C. Cardinal of North Van couver. B. G, completes the first ten ranking. Owing to the great shifting of play during the 1919 season the ranking committee was unable to rank the doubles teams. The week of July 5 has been applied for by the Spokane Tennis club foi the dates of the Inland Empire cham pionship, the northwest doubles cham plonships and the junior and boys championships. All three of these events will fall to Spokane this year. STANFORD WEAK IX WEIGHTS Problem of Track to Be Solved by Inter-Class Meets. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto. Cal., March . (Special.) Stan ford track men will meet the Univer sity of Southern California on the Stanford oval Apr!! S, according to announcement made by Manager Wade Stamp yesterday. This will be the most important of Stanford's pre liminary engagements. The varsity is weak In the weights and distances this year and Captain W. B. (Jess) Wells is busy developing: some sort of talent in these events. For the purpose of uncovering some of this inter-class meets will be held this week. AMERICA AATIOX OF GOLFERS Scotch Game Increases in Favor With Amazing Speed. It is only a question of a short time when America will be known through- j out the civilized world as a nation of golfers. The great Scottish game has caught the fancy of the Tankees and the canny manufacturers of golf clubs and balls are even now working three shifts in their plants to try to catch up with the ever growing demand. Old and young, slim and stout are rapidly turning to the pastime as the open air exercise appears to be a panacea for all ills. Ball Teams to Organize. Baseball teams are to be organized in all of the large industrial plants, department stores and among the employes of the street railway com pany, according to the latest plans of community service. The ultimate plan is a number of leagues for a series of games later in the season G. B. Shadinger, a crack ball player and Instructor in outdoor sports. Is in charge of this department of work and he will be glad to speak to any group of men who are interested in the organization of such teams or he may be reached for personal confer ence at 436 Northwestern Bank build ing, telephone Main 654. 3 EMS STILL SLATED THEN SCHOOL QUINTS WILL HOLD POSTPONED CONTESTS.

The season, which will be brought to a close within the next two weeks, finds the teams bunched for one of the closest finishes in sev eral years. Benson and Franklin at present are tied for the leadership of the circuit with four games won and no defeats, with Lincoln, Washington ana Jeffer son still in the running. Commerce and Washington will lead off the week's activities tomor row afternoon on the Y. M. C. A. floor and the Colonials should be able to mark down another victory in the percentage column over the Com merce tossers. Tuesday afternoon Franklin and James John will, be the opposing teams and the game will probably result in the Quakers jump ing into the lead In the race for the championship. James John has failed to win a game this season and will probably be handed another drubbing by the fast coming Franklin five. The final game of the schedule will be played Wednesday afternoon be tween the Benson Tech five and the Columbia University hoopers. In this contest the Tech school quintet are the favorites by virtue of the show ing made early in the season. A postponed game between Com merce and Hill will be played Off on Thursday afternoon and should prove to be one of the closest contests of the week. Commerce surprised the hoop followers last week by trimming the James John crew and the Hill five will have to travel some Thursday or 1: wn.1 meet the same fate. A game that has a direct bearing on the. championshio standings is slated for Friday afternoon between Frank lin and Washington. Washington is conceded to be the better of the two teams although the showing which the Quakers have been making of late marks them as dangerous op ponents for any team. LAST GAME T MAROOX F CLCB TO MEET J. K. GILL FIVE. Epidemics Play Havoc With Per sonnel, but Good Showing Is Made by First Squad. Tomorrow night at the Franklin high school gymnasium the Maroon F club basketball team will make its last appearance of the 1919-20 season. with the J. X. Gill quintet as the opposing team. A close contest is looked for as the Gill team has been winning quite a few games of late. The Gill five's last victory was over the South Parkway second team by the score of IS to 17. Although the Maroon F five has won about 60 per cent of its games this season it has one of the strongest combinations In the city, but owing to the influenza and Bmallpox epi demics Manager Jack Routledge waa only able to get his first squad to gether in a few games. With the three former interscholastic players Ed. Thompson, Harry Thomas and Bob Tucker around which to build a team and such players as Babe Thomas, Hal Day, "Chuck" Haldors, "Chick" Hobson, "Chappy" King and "Hank" Hallier to fill in, the Maroon F tossers would prove a stumbling block for the best in the state. Next year Manager Routledge will have the same lineup and barring un foreseen accidents promises to make a strong bid for the state title. ALL-STAR QUINTS PICKED (Continued From First Para.) Coast Conference duties, but for a slump in shooting. Copeland dribbles cleverly, guards closely and has proved his metal by holding the best forwards in the conference to low scores. - Forward Hunter is always dan gerous when uncovered. He was Idaho's strongest man. He can elude the best guards and is all the more valuable because of his ability to cage free throws. Honorable Mention Llndley is a tall, shifty guard of unusual ability, but is weak in scoring from the field. Wapato, the Indian member of the Willamette five, plays a hard, clean game, but lacks the finish. Peterson of Whitman is a good defensive player, a fair shot and an unusually good dribbler. Peabody Wins Racquet Title. BOSTON, March . Charlea C. Pea body, Massachusetts champion, today won the national amateur squash racquet title, defeating Stanley W. Pearson of Philadelphia, who had held It for three years. The score of the match waa 4-15, 11-15, 13-12, 15-11, 15-11, ; ill OUT 111 FULL FORCE Runners and Jumpers Many but Field Men Few. COLUMBIA MEET LURES Junior Week-End Programme May 20 to 22 Announced at Corvallis. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL LEGE. Corvallis. March 6. (Special.) Track athletics at Oregon Agricul tural college are now going on in full swing. Basketball season is over and spring athletics have come into their own. Every evening scores of aspirants are working out -under Coach Hargiss and . "Dad" Butler, physical trainer. Coach Hargiss reports a good bunch of runners out, and says there is considerable talent showing up in all races from the 100-yard dash to the two-mile. It looks now as if the hurdle events would be well taken care of by Eikelman, Garhardt, Damon and Moon. The report that Radcliffe. who ran the sticks for the Aggies the last two years, will return to college next term adds another possibility. Captain Eikelman, who broke his jaw playing basketball, is now able to take light workouts in the runs, though hurdling is too strenuous for him just yet. 11 f has been able to take on only liquid food for several weeks past and is run down in weight. He will be back to form in two or three weeks unless . further complications develop. Indoor Meet Here. The men are being pointed toward the Columbia indoor meet, which will be held in Portland about the middle of April. Tentative plans had been made to have the far-western indoor meet at Corvallis on April 3. but were abandoned, due to health- condi tions and apparent lack of interest on the part of California athletic teams. Coach Hargiss expects to enter a full team- of both freshman and varsity athletes in the Columbia meet. The hardest problem, according to Hargiss, is that of lining up a for midable team of weight men for the field events, as well as in the jumps. There is a scarcity of field events men, though a few veterans have put in an appearance. In the shot Luebke, Powell, Hayden. Baker and West are the principal contenders. The same bunch of men look best for the discus also, with the addition of Eikelman. V'an Stone has been showing up un usually well in the javelin for early season work, and if he continues to improve the husky sophomore will ake strong competition for a berth. Damon. Johnston, Butler, Luebke and McClaln are other javelin men. But ler threw the javelin for the Aggies last year, while Danion comes from the 1916 team. The latter is cred ited with the best throw of any man who ever represented Oregon Agricul tural college. Metalcr Strong Hleh Jump. In the high jump Metzler is show ing up well. Coach Hargiss is work ing over Metaler's form and expects improvement as soon as he masters the technique of the new system. Eikelman, Waits, Goetz. Davis, Moon and Watt are other , high jumpers. Snook, Waite, Moon, Garhardt, Ross, Metzler and Butler are broad Jump men. Sprints men are Carter, Greene brothers and Snook. In the 440-yard dash Scea, Damon and Anderson are all letter men, and Rose. Kellogg, W. Greene, Carter and Daigh also show class. In the half-mile event Grant Swan, Rose, MClanathan, Bryant, Johnson, Scea. Reynolds brothers, McCormack and Durham are the principal contenders. Swan, McCor mack, E. Reynolds and Scea will take pa-t in the mile. Mendee. Ford and Lucas are other mile men, Lucas hav- ng won his letter in track in the spring of 1916. The athletic programme for junior week-end, which will be held May 20 to 23, inclusive, , has just been an nounced. It includes three inter collegiate contests, two games of baseball and a track meet with the University of Oregon being scheduled. The first ball game will be Friday afternoon, March 21, at 1 o clock, and the track meet immediately following. The second ball game will be played Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The annual rook-soph tug-of-war across the mill race will be staged Saturday morning, and will be fol lowed by the burning of the green caps. The department of physical education for women will stage spring pageant, "The History of Ore gon," Saturday afternoon. HADLEY-SILVEH FIVE WINS BOWLING QUINT. HOLDS LIME LIGHT DURING WEEK. Play Started by Three Straight De feats of Wells Realty Shoot ersWoods Sets Pace. The Hadley-Silver bowling quintet held the limelight in all events in the City league on the Portland alleys last week. Right off the- bat the Tailors annexed all three games from the Wells Realty shooters. They shot the high single game of 1002 pins and the highest three-game total of the night with 2830 pins. Their anchor man, Walter Woods, led all individ uals with the nice series of 606 pins. and added to that "Woody'1 shot 238 his second game for the high indi vidual game of the evening. The Rialto pin smashers also won three-games, the Board of Trade bar ber shop being their victims. Charley Plummer was the chief gunner with 595 pins. The St. Nicholas cafeteria quintet won two out of three games from the Vogan Candy company. Anstey was the star of this match with an average of 201 pins per gam a. By virtue of their victory over the Wells Realty five, the Hadley & Sil vers are leading the City league in one of the closest fights ever staged in the major bowling circuit The Tailors have a postponed match to shoot and only have to win one out of three games to keep their lead over the Rialto billiard parlor quint. The Hadley-Silvers are high in team aver age with- the excellent average of 920 pins per game. The race for the Individual aver age and the Seeley medal finds Charley Goodwin gradually drawing away from the other pin smashers each week, and with only three more weeks of shooting Goodwin is pretty sure of carrying off the prize. His average is 192, with Bell second with 191 and Kruse, Flavin and Wood fol lowing In the order named.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Sa lem, Or., March 6. (Special.) Coach R. L. Mathews of Willamette univer sity, after comparing the teams picked by the coaches of the basket ball teams participating in the state tournament here this week-end. se lected the best and second aU-star teams. In announcing the all-star quintets. Coach Mathews made the following statement: "Any number of good forwards and plenty of excellent guards appeared in the tournament, but a first-class cen ter was lacking. Wright and Beck, selections for forward positions, are both good shots and work the floor well, besides being fast and good dribblers. The fact that Wright was unable to play in the final games cannot keep him from a place on the first team. "Eugene Gill of Salem, although playing regularly as guard, is given tne center berth on the all-state five. He is tall enough for center, strong enough to play the entire floor, and is dangerous as a shot from any part or tne courc. "Cole, Lincoln, probably the best In terscholastic basketball Dlav-er on th coast, is a wonder botlf on offense and defense. From a guard position h scored more baskets than any other man in the tournament. A. Uill is moved from forward to guard because of his ability to hi the basket from any distance. H played guard last year, and it is im possible to keep as good a man out o an ali-state selection. "Schaefer is exceptionally fast, good shot and floor man, and although playing forward this year, would make, an excellent guard. "Leggitt of Lincoln erave a won derful exhibition of basketball in the semi-finals against Albany. Through out the tournament, while not shoot ing as well as some of his team mates, he fed the ball to Cole, Steffen ana Wright in first-class style. "Such a combination as the above seven men would be unbeatable interscnoiastic circles on the coas and would hold their own in any com pany. The entire Lincoln bunch are good close shots and the Salem mem bers of the combination can shoot from any distance, making an ideal combination. "The above mentioned second team would be capable of giving the first stringers are excellent battle. Bryant would be a good first team man if he worked the floor more. Moore of Albany; although a good man, shoots too much for perfect team work Gharrity of La Grande, leading team of youngsters played first-class basketball. Mische, getting into the last two games, showed to advantage, holding Schaefer, the fastest man in the tournament, to olfe field basket. Ashby is a powerful, heavy guard and should be the best in the state next year. Steffen, Lincoln, is a de pendable man, both on offense and de fense, while Stoddard of La Grande, the diminutive 15-year-old forward, was one of the sensations of the tournament, being fast, and a good shot." Honorable mention is given o Chapman of Marshfield; Willard, AT bany; Thiesen. La Grande; Kirby, Forest Grove; Ziegenhagen. The Dalles. The following teams participated: Lincoln high of Portland, Salem high. Album; high. La Grande high, Asihlanil high, Medford, Forest Grove, Astoria, Rainier, Marshfield, Madras and The Dalles. SALEM TAKES 12-11 GAME Champions Win Through Ability to Shoot From Entire Floor. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Sa lem, Or., March 6. (Special.) After battling to a standstill for nearly 40 tense minutes in the finals of the state high school tourament this aft ernoon, Salem overcame the Lincoln tossers by a one-point lead in the last minute of play and won, 12-11. It looked like another state cham pionship for the Railspiitters when they gained a three-point lead in the early part of the second .period, for both teams were checking brilliantly and field baskets were rare. How ever, a long shot by Gene Gill. Salem guard, gave the Salemites two points. After the failure of Shaefer to convert a foul, Gill again broke through the Lincoln defense end made it a Salem victory. Both fives played in championship form, and today's contest was the classic of the tournament. Captain Irve Cole, of the Portlanders. started the scoring by dribbling the length of. the floor and tossing a potBhot. The Salem men soon piled up an 8-3 lead. but two more field baskets were annexed by Coach Earl's men before the half ended. The lead changed hands twice in the last period, each quintet registering four points. The outstanding feature of the chamnionshiP exhibition was the wonderful defjmive work of both sides A. Gill and Shaefer, Salem for wards, were watched like hawks, but Gene Gill proved Lincoln's undoing, with three field baskets. Although the Railsplitter.3 presented a formid able checking system, their offensive work was considerably short of last night's exhibition against Albany. Coach Hargiss of- the Aggies offi ciated this afternoon, calling tech nical fouls much closer than in previ ous contests The Capital City men were at sea in foul shooting, the com bined efforts of A. Gill and Shaefer resulting in two converted throws in 16 tries. Liggett and Cole made five out of ten for the 1919 champions. A crowd of 2000 spectators swarmed the armory for the final classic, and the cheering was deafening during most of the game. Dave Wright, the Lincolnites' clever center, was still out of the lineup because of sickness. Cole was high acorer for the losers. The lineup: x Lincoln (11 Liggett 4 ... Steffen (2) ...

IDAHO BABES TRIUMPH W. S.. C. Fro Have' Close Game on Pullman Floor, PCLLMAV,;Wash., March 6. (Spe cial.) After being defeated oh- her own floor a week ago, the Idaho freshman basketball team came back and defeated the Washington State Babes in the Pullman gymnasium to night by a score of 31 to 29. . During the first minutes of the ganie the Idaho team ran the score up to 14 to 3, due to poor checking and the inability of Washington State to solve the Idaho style of play. The first half ended with the score 18 to 17 in Idaho's favor. The second half saw better checking on both - sides, and the game was in doubt until the whistle blew.
