12 COAST
NUT
GET INTO
Two
ex-Western Athletes
Also Considered.
FIVE FROM MULTNOMAH
Spearow, Murphy, Payne, Wells
and Merchant May Wear
Club Colors at Meet.
There are at least 12 Pacific coast
athletes who stand a chance ol being
selected on the American track team
to go to Antwerp for th! Olympic
games and there are two ex-Pacific
coast men, now members of eastern
university teams, who also have an
exceptionally good chance. The latter
two are Carl Johnson of Spokane, now
at Michigan, called in the east the
greatest American atniete today, and
Harrison Thompson of Los Angeles,
attending Princeton university, na
tional all-round champion.
The other 12 coast men are Ralph
Spearow, "Mose" Payne and Johnny
Murphy of Portland, all representing
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club;
Charles Paddock of the University of
Southern California: Morris Kirksey
of Stanford; H. Bilhman and R.
Caughey of the Olympic club of San
Francisco; Jack Merchant of the Uni
versity of California: Eldon G. Jenne,
Washington State college: Dink Tem
pleton of Stanford: VVillard "Jess"
Wells of Stanford and Henry Williams
ol Spokane.
H May Be From Club.
Five of these athletes would likely
wear the colors of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club as well as of
the United States if they competed
in the games and five of the 12 ath
letes are Oregon boys. Spearow,
Murphy. Payne, Wells and Merchant.
The first four are now lined up with
the winged-M institution, while it is
aid that Eldon Jenne, the Washing
ton State pole-vault star, will also
Join.
Following are the events the 1
stellar Pacific slope athletes spe
cialize in: Paddock, Williams and
Kirksey. sprinters: Bilhman. Caughey,
shot putters: Merchant, broad jump
and hammer throw; Jenne and
Spearow, pole vault; Templeton and
Murphy, high jump: Payne, distance,
and Willard Wells, hurdles.
Murphy at Sotre Dame.
Johnny Murphy of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club and now at
Notre Dame Is the present national
high jump champion and in his few
leaps this year which have come to
the notice of the track and field fol
lowers in this part of the country he
recorded sensational marks. Murphy
Is a natural jumper and has been hit
ting the high marks ever since he
attended grammar school here.
Henry Williams of Spokane, who
competed under the colors of Mult
nomah club last season, is the present
220-yard national champion and if he
shows the same ability in the Pacific
coast trials is a cinch to get to the
finals in Boston anyway. Paddock
already is practically certain, his run
ning this season being consistent In
both dashes.
Kirksey is another who rates with
the best sprinters in the country. He
showed his heels to the eastern ath
letes in the intercollegiate games, in
Philadelphia recently, until he pulled
a tendon and was forced to withdraw.
He has two defeats by Paddock
against his record in both sprints, but
his work in the 100 yards entitles him
to consideration.
Jenne l.ooma s Hone.
Eldon Jenne looms as the Pacific
Roast's hoDC in the vaults, as Ralph
Spearow has announced that he will
not have time to enter competition
this summer. As Ralph has been
doing the best vaulting of his career
in workouts this season it is a shame
that he hasn't the time to compete
In the Olympic trials, but with Jenne
doing 13 feet 3 inches the coast will
at least have a representative that
is certain of a place on the team.
"Here" Bihlman, with 48 feet 3'i
Inches, shows the best shotput made
so far in this country this year.
Caughey, on his inter-allied record,
has a good chance of selection.
Templeton of Stanford is nearly on a
par with Murphy as a high jumper
and has some great marks to his
credit.
Up until Wells turned in his great
feat in the east, when he won the
intercollegiate low hurdles title, it
-was thought that the coast did not
boast of any one with a chance in
the hurdles, hut Well's victory gives
the outlook a new aspect. He is now
in Portland visiting his folks.
Cnnnt Kent In Klrld t'.vrnl.
Outside of Payne there doesn't
aeem to be a distance runner on the
coast who figures against the eastern
stars, and the same applies to the
middle distance men. The coast shines
the best in the field events and is
stronger in that department than in
any other. The coast printers at this
time are supreme, but there are a num
ber of high-class men in the east
including Scholz and Murchinson, who
are sure of being picked.
It practically being settled that the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club will
send only two men south, said to be
Mose Payne arid Grant swan, the Ore
gon Agricultural college miler, it will
mean that any one else from here
would have to go on his own hook or
line up with some other club. It was
originally thought that the outfit in
charge of staging the Pacific coast
trials in Pasadena. June 26. was going
to pay the competing athletes' rail
road fares, but it later developed that
such was not the case, hence the
cutting down of prospective teams.
CARPESTIEK'S STOCK RISLNXS
Ring Followers Pleased at Match
With Battling Levinsky
If the reputation which Georges
Carpentler. the European heavy
weight boxing champion, has brought
ith him to this country Is not an-j
other case of "watered stock." he
should have no difficulty In winning
the proposed match between himself
and Battling Lvinky. Certainly
news that kte waa to engage In a bout
has adde4 considerably to his popu
larity over here, for there were many
ring followers who rather resented
the fact that he was making a lot of
money without so much as drawing
on a glove.
While the announced intention of
Carpentier In coming to this country
was for the purpose of fighting Jack
Dempsey, the world champion, and
morally there was no call for him to
take on any one else, it still Is -a
fact that the American public is en
titled to know something about Car
pentier as a ring man before he meets
Dempsey. For the public to pay ex
orbitant prices to witness a world's
championship contest and then have
It turned into a farce Is not playing
the game Uy thsia. Thus, J Carpea -
1
tier js unable to get by Levinsky.
there is every reason in the world
why he should not be matched against
Dempsey.
If Carpentler is able to dispose of
two or three good big men in impres
sive fashion it will go a long way
towards popularizing his match
against Dempsev. if that event ever
occurs and it ia" possible to popular
ize a match in which an American
who failed to respond to the call of
his country is a principal.
COMISKV AFTER COLLEGE BOY
White Sox Dicker to Turn Corn
Hnsker Professional.
LINCOLN, Neb., June 12. The Chi
cago White Sox are dickering for the
services of Pitcher John Pickett, cap
tain of the University of Nebraska
baseball team, who held the Univer
sity of California to one hit last week,
struck out 14 and won his game 1
to 0. The Cornhusker . hurler has
pitched three shutouts this spring and
is rated as one of the great college
pitchers of the year.
Although not ready to announce his
willingness to break into professional
circles. Pickett is pledged to give the
Comiskey team the inside track. Pick
ett is a right-hand six-footer and his
fast ball has puzzled every college
team he has faced this season.
COLLEGE CHIPS VIEWED
TEAM'S CHANCES COXSIBERED
FOR EASTERX HONORS.
Quartet of Schools Said to Stand
Out From More Ordinary
Collection of 1920.
NEW YORK, June 12. There are
at present four teams that stand out
prominently in the race for the myth
ical championship of the eastern col
leges. These are Georgetown, Holy
Cross. Lafayette and Penn State. It
is almost a certainty that the winner
of the title will be one of these aggre
gations. Each has a 3Dlendid record
to date, and each compares favorably
with the most formidable teams of
past years.
Georgetown lost two close games to
Cornell and the University of Ver
mont, at the beginning of the sea
son, but it has since compiled a re
markable string of 17 consecutive
victories, and now bids fair to lead
all its rivals when the present cam
paign comes to a close. The Wash
ington collegians have defeated Holy
Cross, Princeton, Fordham, Yale, Le
high, Navy, the University of Pitts
burg, Boston college, Washington and
Lee, and other equally strong teams. '
in its 20 games played thus far
this season the Blue and Gray nine
has scored 186 runs to its opponents'
45. and is probably the heaviest hit
ting team in the east. It also has
two of the best pitchers in the col
lege world in Hyman and Reynolds,
each of whom has been a big factor
in the many triumphs that the team
has gained this season.
Hugo Bezdek. former manager of !
the Pittsburg Pirates, has developed
one of the most formidable teams of
which Penn State has boasted in re
cent years. The Blue and White ag
gregation has sustained but three
defeats and has registered 11 vic
tories. Gramley, the Penn State pitching
ace. has been successful in six of
these contests, and has yet to be
beaten. He has turned back Yale.
Fordham, Syracuse, the University of
Pittsburg, the Michigan Aggies and
Delaware college.
The Princeton nine now rules a
strong favorite for the championship
of the "Big Three" by its two vic
tories over Harvard. However, it is
expected that the Yale team will give
the Tigers a hard fight for the title.
RACER BOUGHT FOR SADDLE
Royal Mack to ' Trot on Central
Park Bridle Paths.
C. K. G. Billings of New York has
purchased of Thomas W. Murphy the
noted trotter Royal Mack, 2:04.
winner of many important races in
the grand circuit, for use as a saddle
horse. The speedy bay gelding ar
rived from Poughkeepsie, and Mr. Bil
lings will ride him on the Central
park bridle paths during the next few
weeks.
The new owner of Royal Mack is
keeping him at Durand's Riding acad
emy, where he has three other fast
trotting saddle horses, two of which
recently arrived from Curies Neck,
Virginia. They are in charge of Peter
Hastings, who has had charge or Mr.
Billings' famous saddle horse Uhlan.
TOLEDO OPEN WILL SEE BEST
GOLF TALENT IN COMPETITION
Ouiniet Says Coining of Abe Mitchell Means That Best Field That Has
Ever Competed in United States Will Come Together.
BY FRANCIS OUIMET.
NOW that Abe Mitchell is coming
over for the open at Toledo,
American golfers will have a
greater interest than ever in this af
fair It will unquestionably "bring to
gether the best field that has ever

rest our fondest hopes on Walter
Hagen there are a dozen other home
breds capable of winning the crown,
not to overlook a few of our amateurs.
The fact that Jerry Travers is mak
ing an effort to get back into form
means much to American golf. Should
Jerry strike his stride and appear at
Toledo in his old form he will be one
competitor who wfll require a lot of
beating Travers has the tournament
experience to help him through the
long grind of a 72-hole medal affair
and in addition the right nerve and
temperament. He will be a splendid
bulwark for American golf in the
matter of turning back the English
invasion.
KvKns ?t Back womner.
One reads little of Chick Evans
these days. But any golfer of his
few 'years and splendid record is by
no means a back number. Chick has
all the shots in the bag down to
perfection and has lost none of his
cunning. I learned that in our battle
at Oakmont last summer. That was
either man's game all the way
through. Chick labored under a big
handicap last season, packing around
with him both the amateur and open
titles. I doubt If golf will ever see
a man win both of them the second
time he starts.
Then there is Davy Herron and
Bobby Jones, both holding back at
the present time but both sawing
wood and working at all times to
smooth what are already nearly per
fect games. Should Herron play in
the open and set anything like the
pace he maintained -all through the
amateur last summer it would take
the best golf of Mitchell, Varden
Ray or Hagen to beat him. No ama

MIKE D
DOWD IS DUE
HERE NEXT TUESDAY
Battler to Start Training for
Ortega Bout.
158 POUNDS AGREED ON
Weight to Be Made at 3 o'clock on
Afternoon of Bout Aggressive
Contest Is Expected.
Mike O'Dowd. recently deposed mid
dleweight champion of the world, and
his manager, Paddy Mullins. are due
to arrive in Portland Tuesday from
New York to round out the former
champion's training sessions for his
ten-round decision match with Bat
tling Ortega of Oakland in the main
event of the June 24 boxing card at
the Milwaukie arena.
The O'Dowd-Ortega match should
be a replica of those two great battles
between Joe Gorman and Young
Brown, only the men are bigger and
there is more chance of one of them
going down under a fusillade of blows
before the end of the battle is reached.
O'Dowd Said to Be Aggressive.
O'Dowd is credited with being one
of the most aggressive world's cham
pions in history, and has high hopes
of regaining his title from Johnny
Wilson before many more months
have passed, and if it comes right
down to it. Paddy Mullins is still
claiming the title for his boy on the
basis that the bout with Wilson was
not fought at the middleweight limit.
However, there will always be a dis
pute until the two men meet again
and settle their differences.
Ortega is rated as one of the great
est 158-pounders in the game, and has
beaten everything that has ever in
vaded the Pacific coast and tackled
him. He holds decisions over some of
the best-known welterweights and
middleweights in the game.
O'Dowd and Ortega have agreed to
make 158 pounds at 3 o'clock the af
ternoon of the bout.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall an
nounced the following matches as
part of those that will back up the
O'Dowd-Ortega mill: Johnny Noye
vs. Young Brown. Allie ack vs.
Frankie Murphy and Danny Edwards
vs. Frankie Garcia.
DiMpute Over Brown.
There seems to be some dispute as
to who has Young Brown signed for
Shrine week, or then again maybe
Jimmy Gallagher has agreed to let
his boy box on both June 22 and 24.
Matchmaker Evans of the Portland
boxing commission said last night
that he had Brown signed to meet
Earl Baird, while the Milwaukie com
mission says it had Gallagher's con
sent to meet Johnny Noye several
days ago and say they have him
signed to battle Noye ten rounds in
the semi-windup June 24. Without a
doubt, a boy of Brown's caliber can
fill both dates if he cares to extend
himself. The writer could not locate
Gallagher last night to find just how
his battler is lined up.
Allie Nack and Frankie Murphy are
slated to box eight rounds and have
agreed to make 140 pounds at 3
o'clock the afternoon of the bout.
Murphy has appeared twice before
the local fans, meeting Stanley Wil
lis and Johnny McCarthy, while Nack
has fought here once, taking on
"Puggy" Morton in that start.
Three six-round bouts will round
out the card with Danny Edwards and
Frankie Garcia meeting in the top
preliminary match.
The other two matches have not yet
been made up, but several contests
are under consideration, among them
between Johnny Fiske vs. George
Brandon and Baby Blue vs. some op
ponent. Fiske is certain to be used
on the card.
"Comet" McLoughlin to Try Again.
Maurice E. ("Comet") McLoughlin
is probably .the most popular player
in the history of American tennis and
there was more than a little inter
est in his determination to make an
other try for the national champion
ship, which he held In 1912 and 1913.
In those days McLoughlin's wonder
ful service and his dashing attack set
a spectacular standard that has prob
ably never been equalled. It was the
marvel of all observers, both in this
country and abroad.
They're selling stock in the Seattle
ball club. Laughing or investment?

BATTLING
UNFAIR TACTICS ALLEGED
ASXEKICAN SKATER DECLARES
BIG RACE STOLEX.
Manager Says Moving Pictures of
Event Barred From Being
Shown in Xorway.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., June 12.
D. R. Scanlon, who managed Bobbie
McLean's skating tour in Europe,
when Oscar Mathiesen took the
American's crown away from him, is
back in the Twin Cities with proof
to show that McLean was robbed of
the championship at the big races in
Christiania, Norway, last winter.
Scanlon declares motion pictures of
the races, which will be shown in
Minneapolis and St. Paul soon, will
bear out his contention that McLean
is still the real champion.
According to pictures taken of the
races, as well as accounts of the
events in Norwegian papers. McLean
lost the championship when officials
stepped out on the track and stopped
him, while Mathiesen was allowed to
skate by and take the lead.
Under the Norwegian plan of skat
ing, the speeders have two lanes,
taking the Inside lane on one trip
around and the outside one on the
next trip. McLean was sent away on
the inside lane on the first lap and
Mathiesen was flagged to the other
lane. The Norwegian refused to
listen to orders of the flag man and
took the inside lane. Other officials
and spectators then ran out and
stopped McLean before he finished
the first lap. They wanted him to
start the race over, which the
American agreed to do. Mathiesen
wouldn t listen to this and kept right
on going. The fans began to jeer
McLean and rather than forfeit the
race, he took up pursuit of Mathiesen.
He overtook him on the sixth lap and
took the lead, but the terrific pace
was too much and he couldn't keep
it up. He finished the race exhausted,
collapsing on the track. The time
lost when stopped by the officials,
Scanlan claims, cost him the race.
McLean's manager also declares
that his claims were taken up by the
Swedish papers and when the films
bore out the .American's contention,
the pictures were barred in Norway
by government officials.
The pictures were taken by a
Swedish photographer and are due in
this country any day. They will be
shown at a private exhibition to New
York newspaper men to bear out the
claims of the Americans.
The flag start was also instrumen
tal in McLean's defeat, Scanlon as
serts. The manager brought back with
him a contract whereby McLean was
to name the kind of a start, a pistol
or flag. The pistol start was decided
on, but when the skaters got ready
to start, the flag was substituted. The
starter gave the word in Norwegian
Mathiesen understood It, got away to
a good start, while McLean was wait
ing for the flag to drop.
McLean lapped Mathiesen In the
6000-meter race and was beaten in
the 680-meter by one-fifth of a second
and two-fifths of a second in the 1600
race.

In 1912 there were only two swim
mers on the Pacific coast recognized
as good enough to try out the Amer

than 30 swimmers from Oregon, Utah,
all points of California and Hawaii
will try out for this year's Olympic
team. Furthermore, some of the
swimmers will make the American
team. Time certainly works won

RENO TO REVIVE BOXING
2 0-ROUXD FIGHTS WILIy BE
RESUMED, REPORT SAYS.
Harry Sjuitli Thinks Battling Or-
U'sa-Mike O'Dowd Fight Will
Be Worth Coins' Far to See.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCESCO. June 12. (Spe
cial.) The boxing game is due for a
revival in Reno. Horse racing ouens
there July 7 and word comes to San
Francisco that 2U-round fights are to
be resumed. George Tabor, who
handles the Shade boys, Charlie Moy
and a lot of others, has been asked
to help out with me matchmaking
and has promised to do what he can.
He is likeiy to find the sledding
rather hard.
The four-round game is going along
so nicely and the fighters are able
to coin so much for themselves that
they are not particularly anxious to
get into deep water by accepting long
distance matches. To the average
four-round fighter a 20-round match
spells a knockout and therefore dis
aster that is to be avoided.
George Shade lias been offered a
bout with Buck Holly as the open-
ng fight of the season, but there is
no certainty that he will accept.
Tabor seems to feel it might not be
smart business to accept.
That Battling Ortega-Mike O'Dowd
fierht in Portland on June 24 ought
to be a humdinger and well worth
going a long distance to watch.
O'Dowd may not be the middleweight
champion of the world, but he is close
enough to the throne so that it will
give us a good line on Ortega.
If Ortega can win over the ten-
round distance, and win decisively, he
will be in a position to force a match
with- Johnny Wilson. The Califor-
nian is going to give away some
weight to O'Dowd, but for several
years past Ortega has been fighting
heavier men and the handicap will
not disturb him.
Tim Kelly is one of the plctur-
eseque men of the four-round game.
He's a fighting Irishman and en
titled to the name if ever a chap
was. But quite recently somebody
put up a Job on him. Kelly was re
ferred to in an-afternoon paper as a
Swede, it being pointed out that his
blond -hair was proof of the asser
tion. Tim didn't wait once he had read
the story. He was fighting mad and
made the rounds of the newspapers
to advise the sporting editors one
and all that he is an Irishman by
descent and not to be mis-taken by
any Swede.
Considering Jimmy . Darcy's first
victory over Lee Anderson, the re
versa! of form shown last week is
rather surprising and hard to ex
plain away. Darcy naturally figured
to repeat. He did nothing of the
kind. The Portland boy couldn't work
his right-hand uppercut as previous
ly and Anderson was coming along
at a much faster clip. That's the
whole story.

After an enforced vacation of a
week due to rain, the bush teams
playing in the Portland Baseball as
sociation will swing into action again
today in several lively chaehes on the
sand lots of the city and suburbs.
The attention of the local fans will be
divided between the Vaughn street
field where the Multnomah Guards
and the Portland Iron Works will
tangle at 2:30 P. M. and the new field
of the association at Columbia beach
where three scheduled games will
provide continuous ball from 10 in
the morning till late in the after
noon.
This afternoon's contest at the
ho'me of the Beaver team will be the
first time this season that two local
members of the Jnter-city circuit have
been brought together here. A glance
over the, team standings finds the
Guards in fourth place with three
games won and two lost, while the
Iron Workers have an even break in
the percentage column, having won
2 and lost 2.
The Honeyman Hardware nine will
return to battle the Apple Pickers at
Hood River today where the Hard
ware boys played their first game at
the start of the season with a vic
tory over the Hood River aggregation
The latter team has been considerably
strengthened, however, by the addi
tion of Pitcher Kenough from Camas
and Catcher Terry from the North
Pacific Dental college.
The three-cornered tie at present
existing in the class double A league
for first place between Hesse-Martin
Arieta, and the Street Carmen s local,
will probably be busted up this af
ternoon. Arieta will tangle with Co
lumbia Park on the Columbia Park
grounds today at 3 o'clock. Hesse-
Martin 'will play the Crown Willam
ette nine at Canemah Park and the
Carmen will meet on the latter's field.
King Cole of the Salem team is
another twirler who will get a chance
to show his wares in faster company
but not until next year. The' star
twirler of Biddy Bishop's clan has put
his name to a Portland contract and
will report to the Beavers next spring
About this season of the year there
is always considerable talk of bush
players being hunted out and coaxed
into signing nice fat contracts by
minor league scouts. Of the local

Sol Bloomberg. Sol started in box

his retirement is now being explained.
The only boy that ever beat Bloom
berg is Abe Cordon. Sol has now
reached his majority and about four
weeks ago decided that if he could
vote he could fight. He resumed
training sessions, working out at
night in a private gymnasium and
taking things easy the first week
He found himself to be in splendid
shape and boxing better and hitting
harder than ever. The second week
he opened up a bit and took on Pete
Mitchle several times and then Muff
Bronson. Last week he opened up
his attack in real style and found
v,i,oic fit as the proverbial fiddle.
Bloomberg has gained some since his
last bout, which was at the old Rose
r-itw Athletic club against oeorge
Brandon, now tipping the beams at
about 115 pounds. Sol Is again ready
for all comers and particularly Abe

colony. Big Bill. Reid of the Multno
mah Guard team was the first to
move up into faster company having
hooked on with the Seattle team of
the Pacific International league. The
big southpaw twirled his first game
last week against Tacoma and lost
2 to 1, although he held the opposing
batters to five hits.
Although the attendance at the
bushers' dance at the Multnomah
hotel last Wednesday was not as large
as expected, the umpires, southpaws
and managers who turned out had a
good time. Manager Lowry of the
Hesse-Martin team took the concrete
ear muffa for shaking the best hoof
among the managers. Prexy Rout-
ledge was on hand with his campaign
hat and trick vest.
"Ducky" Holmes of the Salem Sen
ators has about recovered from the
shock of poling out the circuit clout
that brought a victory over the Kirk
patricks in a recent game at the Capi
tal city. With only two buttons left

What Benny Leonard's real weight
is is a question that probably only
two people in the world can answer
and what a 1,000,000 or so fight fans
would like to know. Benny himself
ana nis manager. Billy Gibson, are
perhaps the only two who know
Benny's weight, or rather the best
weight that he can do. A number of
authorities have taken it upon them
selves to "retire" Benny from the
lightweight ranks, but so far no one
has heard of the crown being re
moved rrom his brow.
It is practically a cinch that
Leonard can't do 133 pounds ring
side or within hours of ringside and
be anything like himself. Making
lia pounds at a stated hour the dayj

tion and Leonard could probably do
it and be strong, but not ringside.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
June 12. (Special.) Two major foot
ball contests are booked for the cam
pus next year, according to the ten
tative schedule prepared by Marlon
McClain, graduate manager. The first
is with the University of Idaho, to b
played on October 23, which will open
the season officiall for the univer
sity eleven. The- second is with tha
University of "Washington on Novem

The complete schedule alla for
three Pacific coast and one northwest
conference games next season and
one game with the University of
Southern California in LosgAngeles on
Thanksgiving day. In addition, prac
tice games with Willamette university
and Multnomah club may be played,
according to McClain.
Stanford to Be Played.
On October 30. one week after tha
opening gams-with Idaho here, the
varsity will play Stanford in Palo
auo. inis will be Oregon's first foot
ball contest with that school. One,
week of rest will intervene before tha
varsity will meet Washington.

laano can be looked to for real
thrills in the northwest conference
next year, according to McClain. He
bases his confidence in their strength
on their acquisition of Coach Keliey,
teammate of Hugo Bezdek at the Uni
versity of Chicago, and since noted
for his work as assistant coach at the
University of Missouri and coach of
the University of Oeorgia. Keliey was
reputed to be one of the greatest foot
ball men of his time, and his team is
practically certain to appear strongly
in the race for north we, t honors, Mc
Clain thinks.
Hopes for Seaaon Bright.
McClain thinks that next year's
schedule will be a money-maker for
Oregon. The Stanford, Oregon Agri
cultural college and Southern Califor
nia contracts call for a 50-50 split of
gate receipts, vhile the two games
scheduled for Eugene are completing
old contracts, which call for an ex
pense guarantee only. In arranging
the conference schedules it was im
possible to 'find an open date" for a
game with Washington State college,
which McClain considers very unfor
tunate, as Oregon's relations with tha
Pullman school have always been very
satisfactory.
The 1920 schedule as given out by
Manager McClain' follows:
October 23 Idaho at Eugene.
October 30 Stanford at Palo Alto.
November 13 Washington at Eu
gene.
November 20 O. A. C. at Corvallis.
November 25 Southern California
at LiOs Angeles.
HISTOllIC FIELD IS AO MORE
Kincaitl Athletic Park at Etigeno
to Be Cleared ami Leveled.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
June 12. (Special.) When students
return to the university next fall,
historic Kincaid field will be 110 more.
By that time the grandstands will be
torn down and the ground cleared
and graded. At the same time a new
practice gridiron will be laid off on
the grounds adjacent to Hayward
field and dressing rooms and showers
installed beneath the new grandstand.
The turf on the new football field
will be kept trimmed and watered
during the summer by a caretaker
and in the fall will be for match
games only.
Plans have hern made by a New
York architect for the construction of
a modern cinder track around tha
gridiron on Hayward field. This track ,
win do or gravel tock oase witn
drainage connections, and will be cov
ered by 13 inches of cinders, grading
very coarse near the bottom to a fine
mixture of cinders and clay on the
surface. Space for the shot put, pole
vault, broad jump and other field
events has been reserved between the
grandstand and the football field in
order to keep the playing surface free
from holes and indentations such as
Kincaid now has. If money is avail
able these improvements, as well as
the construction of a baseball dia
mond just south. f the new football
field, will be carrfed out thi

also.

Plan for Olympic Competition.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
June 12. (Special.) Five track men
from the university are planning to
enter the Pacific Coast Olympic try
outs which will be held at Pasadena
about June 26. Hank Foster, captain
and high-point man on the varsity
this year, will compete as a sprinter
and broad jumper. Ken Bartlett. who
holds the coast record this year in the
discus, will enter in that event, and
Al Runuuist, who was ruled off the
varsity this year, will try out in the
weight events.
From the freshman team. Arthur
Tuck and Scanlon Collins are planning
on entering the tryouts. Tuck is ex
pected to make a strong bid for the
American team in the javelin and he
also has shown great form in the
discus and the shot. If his knee, whicl
was wrenched while high jumping
early in the season, is In shape at
the time of the tryouts, he may enter
the sprints also. Collins is looked upon
as one of the most promising quarter
milers that has run this year and has
shown great form in every race he
has entered. The 440 will be his main
event at Pasadena.
The men probably will leave for the
south about June 20 and will be ac
companied by Bill Hayward.
