' 2 THE SUXDAT OITEGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 12, 1920 ARLETA, ATHLETIC CLUB BASKETBALL PLAYERS OUT FOR INDEPENDENT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. jN AQUATIC SPORTS T CMKDSECC1 PlfliS F N SHED - - . STANFORD S Woman From Pittsburg Says Interest Here Keen. WATER POLO IS FINISHED Winged M Swimmers Soon to Start Training for Meet to Bo Held Next Year. Portland ranks eecond among the cities of the United States so far as Interest in aquatic sports is concerned according to Mrs. Marian Dyrlund. the latest addition to the local swimming colony. Pittsburg, the home city of Mrs. Dyrlund, wit placed at the top of the list by the fair mermaid, who will make Portland her home for the time being. Mrs. Dyrlund's specialty is long distance swimming and she holds sev eral records in this class. She can also holds her own in the ehort-dis-tance sprints. In the time that she has been la ac tive competition, which extends over a period of nearly five years, Mrs. Dyrlund has visited practically every swimming center of the country, and when she says that Portland is second among these centers in the United. States, it is a big boost for the sport here. Mrs. Dyrlund started her swimming career at the University of Pittsburg, where she was a member of the varsity swimming team. After her graduation from the university in 1915, she swam under the colors of the Pittsburg Athletic club. During 1914-15 she held the half-mile trl state record for Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The Pittsburg girl took her first fling at the long-distance grind in 1916. when she swam in a 15-mile mar athon race from Spuyteer, on the Hud eon, to the Battery, the length of Man hattan island. Mrs. Dyrlund finished fourth in a field of 18 starteis. Fannie Durack and Minnie Wylie. the two famous Australian swimmers, finish 1 first and second, with Lucy Freeman Of New York third. From 1913 to 1916 she held the long distance records for Conneaut lake, Penn., and Lakes Hopatcons and Cul ver, N. J. Another title, this time in a short-distance race, was an nexed by Mrs. Dyrlund in March, 1918, when she led the field In the New York Young Women's Christian as sociation 150-yard free-style event. In the past year Mrs. Dyrlund has done little swimming, owing to a long illness, but since coming to Port land has decided to enter the popular sport again. Mrs. Dyrlund is a mem ber of the American Ked Cross life savers, and also holds a membership in the Women's Wqld Lifesaving al liance. She is at present devoting her training to the 500-yard event. Swimming activity at the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club will start shortly after the first of the year when the Winged "M" natators will start training for the meats to be held here next year. The Winged "M" club wound up a Yery successful water polo season re cently when Tom Wallace's team was crowned champions of the Multno mah house league. The members of the championship team were Tom Wallace, captain; Locke Webster. Bob Morrision, S. A. Qmoot, Ernie Tucker, Frank McHale and George Faust. The Multnomah club will hold the men's national indoor diving cham pionships next year, probably the lat ter part of March or the first of April. This event should be the cream of diving activities in 1921, as prac tically every man diver of any abil ity is at present on the Pacific coast, and the event will undoubtedly draw a. large list of classy performers. The women's national event goes to Detroit again for the third consec utive time. One of the rulings of the American Amateur Athletic union is that no city can hold a championship event twice in succession, but it is not thought likely that any city will protest Detroit's claim to the event now that it has been awarded. Myron Wilsey and Bus Douglas, two of Jack Cody's swimming proteges, are now attending the University of Oregon. Both are crack water polo players and they are planning to or ganize a team at the university. Fred Howard, a member of the American expeditionary force swimming team, is also at Oregon and has been placed In charge of swimming activities. Swimming is the leading sport -at Stanford university this season. There has just been published a list of men having reported for the various ath letic teams, and it shows 264 can didates for swimming and water polo, as against 164 for boxing. 134 fof gymnastics, and S7 for football, the branches of athletics next in line. GRAHAM AFTER MANAGERSHIP Tacoma First Baseman 'Wants to Boss Tigers Next Season. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) Bert Graham, Tacoma first baseman last year, in a telegram has announced his application for . the managership of the Tigers for 1921. Graham, now in San Diego, Cal., was one of the most popular members of the 1920 Tiger team, and his selection would please the majority of Tacoma fans. He hit .314 and led all first basemen In fielding averages. He leo was leading two-base hitter of the league. Bobby Vaughn, last year's manager, has not filed his application for boss ing the Tigers. Vaughn met with much opposition in Tacoma and is not much of a favorite. Directors of the Pacific Interna tional league will go into session here tomorrow noon .according to Presi dent L. H. Burnett.

The South Parkway team de feated the St. Johns Lumbermen; the Y. M. C. A. Swastikas dropped their first game of the season to the St. Johns Bachelors. Thursday night the Alameda quintet lost to the Arleta squad 41 to 11. while the Oregon institute of technology defeated the Peninsula park cadets in their open ing clash. All of the games were exceptionally well played and hard-fought for so early in the season. Prospects for a banner year are very bright, as there seems to be more interest taken in the games this season than there has been for some time. This season the schedule calls for all games to be played in community gymnasiums, giving the people of the outlying districts an opportunity of witnessing them. The opening games were all well attended. At one gymnasium it was reported that people were turned away. . Next Wednesday night will bring the four league leaders to gether. South Parkway meets the Oregon Tech team on the Neighbor hood house floor. Two games are scheduled for the Washington high school gymnasium. Arleta tangles with the St. Johns Bachelors' club and the Y. M. C. A. Swastikas will clash with the St. Johns Lumber com pany. The Bachelors will outweigh the Arleta boys several pounds, but from comparative scores they will have a hard time winning from the Arleta clubmen. The' Swastikas are also a light scrappy bunch and are expected to stage a comeback against the Lumbermen. Thursday night will find the Alameda team battling the Peninsula park cadets on the Beninsula court. Both teams lost their first starts, but since then have signed several new players and a battle royal is looked for. President McCracken of the Port land Basketball association requests all managers to be at the regular weekly meeting tomorrow night at A. G.

Basketball at Reed. Although no outside games -will be scheduled this winter with college teams, there has been a good turnout at Heed college the past week for basketball practice. The teams will be divided Into classes and after the holidays will begin r a- schedule on which the athletic cotincil is now working. The freshman class is the dark horse of the interclass league. Stef fen, who last year played with Lin coln highr school, which fought it out with Salem for the state champion ship, is sure of making guard. King. also a Lincoln high star, is out for center, as ,also is Bailiff, a former Franklin high player. Others trying for the team are Henny, Blew, Kenin, Piper and atklns. The sophomore class, which last year was runner-up in the interclass league this year is minus some stars who have not returned to college.

Students Wbo Aspire to Athletics Must Show Agility, Posture and Skill in Combat. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu gene. Dec. 11. (Special.) The Uni versity of California system of phys- sical examinations for students proved especially interesting to the delegates to the Pacific coast conference of fac ulty athletic directors, according to Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the echool of physical education, who has Just returned from the conference held at Berkeley. The California system was devel oped about six years ago by the pres ent head of the department there, Frank Kleeberger, a classmate and close personal friend of Dr. Bovard. "The plan," said Dr. Bovard, "is to subject each man who registers for physical education to an examination to test his agility, posture and his skill In personal combat. The agility test includes the running of a 100 yard dash. If he is able to make it in 11 seconds or less he is placed in class 1; If his time Is 12 seconds, he is placed in another class; if he can not make the distance in- a predeter mined number of seconds for in stance, 14 he is required to continue frequent trials until he can meet the standard set. "The posture test is unique; the student is taken into a room and told to step inside small circle painted on the floor. His attention then Is directed to some object on the wall. An attendant presses a button and a photograph is made of 'the student. During the test several photographs are taken, the student- being unaware that his posturing Is being recorded. The background against which the photographs are taken is especially nrenared. It is marked off into squares in such a way that the defects" in posture are registered ana indicat ed in the pictures. "The combat test is designed to de termine the student's ability to give and take. He is required to put on the gloves with the boxing Instructor. The examiner notes whether he be comes angry or accepts the situation in a sportsmanlike manner." The student is put through numer ous other stunts, according to Dr. Bovard, after which he is shown his records and receives suggestions as to the most deirable course to pursue. When a student has passed the tests in a satisfactory manner he is permit ted to choose some athletic activity in which he Is especially interested. Jewish Boys to Play Sell wood. The Neighborhood house floor will be the scene tomorrow night of a clash between the basketball teams of the Jewish Boys' Athletic club and Sell wood. These two teams staged a hard-fought series last year for the 110-pound state title with the Jewish boys coming out on top. Woodmere, B'nai B'rith juniors. Reed Park and the Hawthorne grammar school have been defeated by the Jewish boys bo far this season. Manager Phil Un kelea of the Jewish team would like to hear from some of the Y. M. C.

HIGH SCHOOL GRID CIRCLES ROW SAME AS BIG COLLEGES Expulsion of Columbia and Hill From Interscholastic League Declared No Remedy for Evils Encountered During Past Season. BY I H. GREGORY. NOT TO BE outdone at; all by the big fellows, the little fellows must stage a conference row of their own. Now come the public school mem bers of the Portland Interscholastic league and smash things sky-high. The seven high schools have with drawn and are to form a nice, exclu sive little family circle of their own to which no boisterous outsiders are admitted. While they don't say so, the inference decidedly Is that they want to freeze out Hill Military acad emy and Columbia university. Any way, that'a what their action amounts t0If Columbia and Hill had been carrying on with a high hand, using players ineligible under the rules and all that, there might be Justification in Bhoving down the bars against them But no such charges have been made, or if any were made they never have been made public Columbia and Hill teams played clean football through the season. Moreover, both have been members of the league in good standing since it was formed back in 1912. Indeed, the disregard of league rules and regulations has been on the other foot entirely. A nasty scandal developed in connection with- the use of ineligible players by Washington high. Details of it have been kept pretty well hushed, but there was so much fire behind the smoke that the school board forfeited Washington high's victory over Columbia back to that the unidentified colored gen tleman behind the woodpile in this peculiar and as yet unexplained league action? Is Columbia to be marked for discipline and Hill along with her, because of this forfeited game? If not, then what? It looks very much as if something that hasn't appeared on the surface is at the bottom of this affair. What is it? ' The only semblance of argument or explanation accompanying the strange action of the high schools is that the football schedule of the league last season was too heavy for preparatory players. It certainly was, as The Oregonian has remarked be fore. Eight games In a season are more than even college teams attempt to' play. It was all the worse .be cause It compelled each team once in the season to play two games within ten days and at least once a week otherwise. But all thai is very easily remedied. So ridiculously easy is the remedy that the only surprise is that it Isn't applied. The remedy doesn't require the splitting of the league into two parts, ae had been proposed; it doesn't require a lengthening of the schedule after Thanksgiving, as had also been proposed; and it certainly doesn't re quire the dropping of Hill and Colum bia, as has now been done. The theory on which the inter scholastic league schedules have been drawn is that each team In the league shall play every other team. That was why each school had to play eight games in the season just paBt. No high school eleven ehould play more than five or at most six foot ball games in a season. Therefore, why schedule more than five or six games?. The colleges don't do it. No college conference in the country with as many members as are in the Portland Interscholastic league attempts such a thing. Why should the preparatory school play ers be asked to do what older and stronger college players don't do? The remedy is simply this: Sched ule each team In the league for five or six games, and make no attempt to have each team play every other team in the league. Arrange a sched ule just as the college conferences do. True, this means that a schedule committee would have to work out a schedule, which might require a few hours' toil and a little sweating. But the job certainly is not insuper able. The college conferences do it every year. Could anything be more obvious or simple as a way out of the schedule difficulty than that? It disposes ut terly of any excuse for such extra ordinary action as the high schools have taken in breaKing up the league and putting Columbia and Hill out In the cold. Unless, of course, the in ference that peculiar motives are at the bottom of it all should be correct. Let's see if the league directors can't get together and Iron out the trouble by drawing up a schedule as here suggested. There will be times when such a schedule will not leave one eleven with a clear title to the championship, but what of that? Washington's forfeited game to Co lumbia this season leaves Washing ton, Columbia and Franklin in a three-cornered tie after eight games apiece. So what of it? Eddie AInsmith, the Detroit catch er, is quoted in San Francisco as say ing he expects Babe Ruth to beat his present home-run record next year. "You can't stop him from hitting home runs," says AInsmith. "Babe is a natural home-run hitter and as long as pitchers try to put the ball over the plate, he is going to make home runs. "I don't believe in walking Ruth. In fact, our club was the only one in the league that did not make a prac tice of it. We're out there to win ball games, and we're not playing the game when we walk him with such good hitters as Meusel, Pipp and Lewis following him. You've got to realise that Ruth is worth Just as much to the Yankees, whether he hits home runs or not, so long as pitchers walk him purposely. He is getting Gil Doble ended a tough season at Cornell when he lost to Pennsylvania by a big score. However, consider- I ing the material he had to -york with and conditions for practice, the won der is that he got away for only two defeats in the whole season, the other loss being to Dartmouth, 14 to 3. Bill Hapward, athletic director at Oregon, has a pretty good idea of the handicaps that have confronted Dobie. Bill on his way home from the Olympic games had a talk with the athletic director at Cornell, who Inquired about Dobie. Bill told him Dobie was one of the greatest foot ball coaches In the world, but that he was also one who would have things his own way or not at all. The Cornell director remarked that Dobie would have a hard time getting things his own way when about half the members of the football squad had 4 o'clock classes. The following remarks by Doble himself to. a Philadelphia sporting writer just before the Pennsy-Cor-nell game indicate tj t the 4 o'clock classes were a big worry to him: "One of the reasons why Penn has won a lot of games from Cornell, I think." Dobie is quoted, "is that Cor nell has never been able to get any consistent practice in November. It gets dark early at Ithaca and most of the men don't get out until 6 o'clock and after. This year, for the first time, we had lights on the field, but at that it is hard to get enough work when your men don't get out until late. "Our., team this year is made up of men who have not had much ex perience. Pendleton and Maher are the only men who were regulars last year, and these with Finn, Dodge ana Moir, are tne only ones "who were In the Penn game last year. That gives us a team that has not seen much in the way of varsity football. From a class of 1500 freshmen last year all we got this year was Munns, Carey and Caw. The others were simply taken Out of the student body. mat makes it hard to develop a team, particularly now. when teams are built up with a lot of second-string men one year to become varsity men the next. It is simply impossible un der present conditions to build up a good team in a year. It can't be done, and that is what we have been up against." Robert "W. Maxwell, sports editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, beare out Dobie's plaint with the following remarks of his own: "Early In the season Cornell looked like the saddest aggregation that ever stepped on a grldircn. The men couldn't tackle, carry the ball or handle a forward pass. I was up in Ithaca the first part of October and witnessed the practice one after noon. Cornell was fortunate in hav ing an easy schedule. Colgate and Rutgers were supposed to be big games, but they happened to have weak teams and easy victories were scored. There are no stars on Dobie's team. There isn't even a captain. Team play is the big feature." Basketball Game Scheduled. The B'nai B'rith club basketball team will play its second game of the season Wednesday night on its own floor when the B'nai B'rith hoop ers tangle with the Jefferson high school squad. Manager Nathan Lake fish of the B'nai B'rith team has been angling for a three-game series with the Arleta Athletic club for sometime after the first of the year. The B'nai B'rith manager would also like to ar range games with out-of-town quin tets. He can be reached at Main 4036 or 410 Fifth street- Work on Structure to Begin June 1, 192T- COST WILL BE $750,000 Seating Capacity Will Be 6 0,0 00 and Big Bowl Will Be Ready for 192 3 Games. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Dec. 11. (Special.) The contemplated Stanford bowl to be erected on the university property, win cost $750,000 and will have seat ing capacity of 60.000. Work will start June. 1921, and will be com pleted in time to house the throngs at the "big game" of 1923. The stadium, will be of the bowl tj"pe in a sunken field surrounded by an embankment. It is planned to have bleachers both on the embank ment and on the slope of the excava tion, thus utilizing all possible seat ing 'room. The field will accommo date both American and rugby foot ball with a 220 straight-a-way on the Inclosed track. It is necessary to suspend work until June 1 to let the ground settle firmly. A campaign will be started at once to finance the building of the stadium. The Skull and Snakes honor society has been chiefly responsible for the interest in the new bowl and has . plans under consideration for raising the needed funds. It will be assisted by other campus organiza tions. Leland Cutler, '06. was ap pointed chairman of the committee for financing the project. The en gineering commission is composed of W. F. Durand, C. D. Marx and C. B. Wing. Jack Patrick, the stalwart fullback, was elected o pilot the Cardinal pig skin players next fall at a meeting of the letter men Monday. In 1912, while attending Palo Alto grammar school, Patrick was the official mas cot of all university teams, and aspired to be a great athlete. His chief duty as mascot was to take care of footballs, but he developed into one of the best rugby players in Cali fornia. Incidentally, he was selected as a member- of the world's cham pionship rugby team that won every game at Antwerp. Captain-el;ct Pat rick succeeds Art Wilcox, who in turn became chief of the Cardinal eleven when Preston Holt, ex-Lincoln high star of Portland, because of illness this fall, was obliged to relinquish the honor. Stanford's soccer team played its fastest game of the season last Sat urday when It defeated the University of California team by a score of 2 to 0. Throughout the game the Bruin players were desperately working the ball from the shadow of their own goal, but could not overcome the ma chine playing of the Red and White backfield. Stanford bucked a much stronger team than in the first game November 20. The players who will travel to British Columbia to meet the Ca nadian champions have not been named by Coach Maloney. A confer ence will be held with the California coach to pick a team of all-stars to Invade Vancouver and Victoria at the close of this term. Those most likely to represent Stanford on this all-star line will be Harvey; Newlands, goal; Adams, left back; Paul Campbell, in side right, and Peavy inside left. "Wedding Bells," Salisbury Field's comedy of matrimonial difficulties, was well presented to one of the largest audiences of the year by the sophomore class. The clever and in tricate plot was well handled by the student players. This play success fully ended dramatics for 1920. The university is looking forward to the "Ham's Head" show and the junior opera to be presented next quarter. Encina Hall entertained members and coaches of the 1920 football team at a dance in their honor Friday. About 25 football men were present. The basketball team for the coming season should be one of the strong est that has represented Stanford. The entire team that won the coa.t championship last year, with the ex ception of Wilbur Hood. ex-Washington high school star, will fight fo their old positions. In addition are many who were not eligible under the strict conference regulations last year. BASKET SHOOTING WEAK WASHINGTON- QUINTET MAKING SPECIAL EFFORTS. Team Is Fast and Smashes Hard but Is Not Yet Accurate in Aim at Basket. - UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, Dec. 11. (Special.) Another slice in the basketball squad has been made this week reducing the number to the 20 or 25 who prob ably will be carried for the rest of the season. The men are extremeiy ragged In some departments " of- the game. Coach Edmundson is paying most of his attention to shooting baskets at present. This department was the weakest on last year's team, when many attempts were lost that should have been points. Checking and passing are coming along better than shooting on the Sun Dodger squad. The men are fast and smash hard, although most of them are light in weight. The schedule of practice has been length ened to two hours, the first shoot ing and handling the ball and the second scrimmage. Pre-season practice games with downtown teams are being scheduled by the basketball manager and will open the last week in December. A number of former college stars are connected with business teams in the city that will furnish fast practice for Edmundson'B charges. Sport News and Comment "Alfie" Putnam, secretary of the San Francisco club of ths Pacific coast base ball league, contributes an authoritative sidelight on the playln efficiency of the Ohio state football team. Putnam figures that, as a result of the long train trip and the change In water and climatic conditions, as well as the loss of practice, bis baseball team when It makes the long lump from San Francisco to Salt Lake City will lose two games in the series. Applying this to the Ohio state football team, it would seam that the easterns are going into the Pasadena conflict un der a considerable handicap. In other words, about two touchdowns should be allowed Ohio to make It an even, break,. o that if California wins by two touchdowns it would be fairly Indica tive the two teams were on a parity. If California dona not do better than this, or as well, the claim made for.lt that It is a "super-team" Is likely to fall to the ground. California must win by & better margin than 14-0 to lay claims to being anything approaching a "super" team.
