WAR HITS BRITISH POLO American Team to Try for Inter national Cup MuIIcr Rated High as Football Player. - BT WALTER CAMP. (Copyright. 1921, by The Oregonian.) NEW YORK. Jan. 15. (Special.) America, weighed In the balance, found herself during the war with a mass of manhood "physically unfit" fo active service. Out of her amaze ment and chagrin has grown the great movement of physical educa tion which is sweeping away the old conventional idea., of physical train ing and has found legislative ex pression In the Fess-Capper bill Just placed before congress. Although undoubtedly the United States has blazed the trail for all nations with her athletics, she was content until the war came to fol low the old. worn-out system of physical exercise. The unfortunate results were evident in the whole sale rejections for physical Unfitness In the draft. For years the youtn of the country has rebelled against standing in a gymnasium and strik ing out into the empty air with one hand after the other for 40 or 60 times, or gding through all sorts of leg rigamarole. Young men natur ally preferred to play out of doors and what they preferred, experts have at li st concluded was right. I?od y Work Being Done. Recognition of this fact is rapidly spreading and ' what Is being done in the way of calisthenics itself is being done for the body, for the real engine, and being done simply and effectively.' No longer need the tired business man feel that he must do an hour or so of enforced and com plicated calisthenics, or youth be put through endless arm and leg drill. Body work is being used almost ex clusively for postural defects and out-of-door play has been substituted in a large measure for formal indoor exercises. BTLR GREGORY. HOW Cincinnati ever hypnotized the other big-league clubs into waiving on Maurice Rath In the deal whereby Seattle acquired Rath in part payment for Sammy Bohne, later selling him to San Francisco in a cash transaction, is one of the mys teries of baseball. Rath not only led the National league second basemen in fielding last season, but actually hit better than such infielders as Rabbit Maranville, Olson, Cutshaw and Kopf. Moreover. Rath is a smart ball player.' When he played second base for Salt Lake some years ago he used to count the number of steps it took each player in the league to run from the plate to first base on a batted ball. With each player's speed thus catalogued, he knew exactly whether he had to' hurrv a. throw to first or i could take hi time. That shows how carefully he studies the game. The only reason Seattle let 'him go tc San Francisco is that Manager Kenworthy expects to be able to maintain his last season"s lick at sec ond base, and Rath is too good a player to keep on the bench for util ity purposes. Sacramento ought to be a contend er from the jump In the coast league this season. Bill Rodgers got off to a woozy start last year, but at the end his club actually was playing better ball than any other team in the league, which is most unusual for a tail-end outfit. It will bo remem bered that Sacramento went so fast toward the finish that it closed a big gap and crowded Portland into the cellar in the final week. Usually in a season as long as that in the coast league a team down at the bottom near the finish is all through so far as pep is concerned, which made the Sacramento fighting spirit all the more remarkable. Bill Rodgers is angling with Eos ton for Charley Pick to play third base. Pick wants to come to the coast. Like Rowdy Elliott, he can't see the big show and would far rather play on the coast. Sacramento would have a corking infield with Mollwltz on first, McGaffigan at sec end. Orr at short and Pick covering third. It also has a goor" catching staff, witn Rowdy Elliott on hand, -- : . - . t.i- . .1 . . , . j ; i'.iiu quite an array ui imciicie. auu arks the trend of the times toward tne oulfleld " "r flir. in helping a nation, not Lew Moreing of the Sacs also is hot on the trail of Oscar Stanage, the veteran Detroit catcher. Moreln hiked east especially to get Stanage as a running mate for Rowdy Elliott but it looks as if Los Angeles has the first call on him in part payment for Johnny Bassler. Old Truck Hannah also will be In a coast uniform next year, in all like lihood The New York Yanks finally have asked for waivers on ,the big fellow. Hannah isn't the fastest man in the world on his feet, but he is a i good catcher and he can bust' th cational qualifications of a college but not the football team. "There should be men with a sense of humor and a sense of proportion in charge of iijtercollegiate football men. for instance, of the type of Big Bill Edwards, who know the game and the undergraduate spirit, and who also have rubbed shoulders with life. They should preach that, while football is the greatest of the games, it is only a game, and merely a part of college life not the whole of it. Otherwise one of these days there will be no Intercollegiate foot ball games." All that isn't limited to the east, by any manner of means. Here in the northwest over-enthusiasts in va rious of the colleges are continually crying that some other college is "getting the best of It." Every sport writer knows the old tune: "For heaven's sake, just give us an even break, can't you?" What they really want is not an even break, but all the best of it. Yale, Harvard and Princeton Elevens Challenged. OCTOBER 22 IS DATE SET Berkeley Manager Announces First Team to Kiply Favorably AVill Be Accented. BERKELEY. Cal.. Jan. 13. Re quests for a football game in the east against the University of California eleven on October 22 were tele graphed from here today to Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Luther Nichols, California graduate manager, said the first of the three teams to reply favorably would be accepted. Dr. David I'. Harrows, president of California, has sanctioned th trln. A. Williams in the " was announced. When the eastorn u "The powers that fame is arranged, the 1021 California oiriieuuie wui oe completed ana an nounced. "This is the chance wo have hern looking for," Andy Smith, head foot ball coach, said. "We always wanted to play one of the big fellows in his own territory. "I place no great faith on the climate proposition and the difficul ties encountend by a visiting team in getting used to the weather. Hox ers travel all around the world with out losing their punch. Football teams should be able to travel with out losing their 'kick.' "California will take a chance with the climate." variety merely to produce stars in athletics, but a sound, enduring people as well Although there is no doubt that the war struck a blow at British polo, this country may consider itself lucky if it is able to carry away the international cup when it meet the team that has accepted its challenge, in June. Up to date the British, under Major Lockett's guidance, consisting of ' Dalmeny. Tompkinson, Wodeaouse and Lockett, is expected to defend. But two trial teams will be played. which will not only give Major : bali . ,ne. Several coast le.-mue Lockett's team practice, but will also be trial horses for the challengers. These two -teams are freaks. Buck master, Savage anc". the duke of Pen- randa for one. and Ralston. Ashton. Barrett and Harrison for the other The practice games will be played at Ranleigh and Roshampton. One of the coast papers, on the authority of "Tom" Wheaton. the old Yale backfield man, says that Muller of the University of California, far surpasses the former two Yale ends. Shevlin and Kilpatrlck Another com ment is that Muller should have ciubs could make good use of him. . We confess to a fellow feeling with W. O. McGeehan of the New York Tribune, who, under the heading "Take It Too Seriously." makes the following remarks about college foot ball: "Grads and undergrads are taking their football so seriously that they may bring about the abolition of in tercollegiate football altogether. They 'almost make it appear that the main idea of the university is to produce winning football team and that the been In tne bacKiieid and in mat i other inmates of the Institution are case he would have surpassed all j useful only to make up a rooting and former backfield stars. Still another says that the University of California team would have beaten the best team in the country by at least two touchdowns. But, with all this, there stands out the most satisfying fact that the University of California is back in American Intercollegiate football and that the prediction made so con fidently for several years that rugby would spread from the coast and I entirely eclipse the American game. I has become a ghost that is now laid quietly to rest. Old-time tennis enthusiasts used to arrange their dates so as to take in two "meccas Longwopd and Newport Then there came a shift and national tennis, after much struggling.- went to the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills, and 1921 will see still further shifts. But in cidental to this comes the fact that the tennis enthusiast now . gets a lot more excitement and interest than he ever enjoyed Ui the old days. For InsAnce. this year he can see the women's national indoor tourna-. ment, and also the women's national outdoor tournament by visits to Longwood. He can see the Dvis cup matches, the great international tennis event, by a visit to Forest Hills, and he can wind up his ex citement pretty late In the year by Journeying to Philadelphia for the national singles. Of course all tl)is is approached by various events such as Sea Bright, isewport ana otners Which, while not. having the dignity of national events, furnish good ten nis Anl this year we find our selves, thanks to Tilden and Johnston, at the top of the tennis world.

The football season of 1920 is supposed to have been de cently Interred, but the letters still pile in. They run like this: 'Dear Sig What have you got against college that you are always emphasizing the fact that they were beaten by college?' Or some body is asking us to announce that such-and-such a coach and such-and-such a college employed unfair tac tics, or that another ollege was pros elyting. One may criticise the edu- "A considerable number of people from Chicago and elsewhere are puz zled hv the nilsfinfr nf Ii"lH Mithpll as manager of the Chicago Cubs," I comments Harry Los Angeles Times. The po be simply gave Fred the boot and let the public listen to the echo. .Mitchell, while by no means a magnetic leader, and rather colorless, knows about all the baseball in the library. "He produced one pennant-winner in four starts, which is better than the average. He got a lot of baseball out of the veteran Merkle, who was regarded as about through when he hooked up with the Cubs. The an cient Dodo Paskert, under Mitchell, staged one of the most sensational come-backs in the annals of the came, and Mitchell made more than a pass able ballplayer out of Dave Robertson, whose temperament made him next to useless for the Giants. "Mitchell tonslated Turner Barber from an outfielder into better than an average first baseman, and was quick to snap up Zeb Terry when the opportunity offered. And it was Mitchell who discovered that Zeb is a 25 per cent better second baseman than shortstop. "With even fair luck Mitchell might have won the National lengue pennant this year. But he was forced to work under a multiplication of handicaps, At one time he had seven men on the sick or injured list. But the crownin? blow came when it was necessary to operate on Charley Hollocher for ap pendicitis. Hollocher's absence from the line-up probably cost the Cubs dn7.pn frumps' Mitchell didn' have to wait long for a berth after leaving the Cubs. He was snapped up quickly to succeed George Stallings as leader of the Bos ton Nationals. Raymond Spears, who coached Dart mouth's great football team last sea son, is much wanted by Purdue uni' versity, -which is the permanent cellar champion of the Big Ten conference. The Big Ten has served notice on Purdue that it must get out a real football eleven and make a showing or be dropped from the conference. Her answer is the endeavor to get Spears, who is such a husky bird that after the college football season he plays professional football to keep in training. Now that Ty Cobb holds the reins of the Detroit club, look for a change from the time-honored scouting sys tem whereby ivory hunters are sent wandering all over the country in search of baseball talent. Cobb has expressed himself very forcibly against this system. Some of the rookies recommended by these scouts, he says, have been pitiful, many of them not even knowing the rudiments of the game. His idea is for Detroit to name one scout for each league some old-time player or umpire and to follow this man s advice on players in that league. Not many colleges can point tr a football record like that held by Notre Dame. In 32 years Notre Dame foot ball teams have played 220 games, of which they have won 168, lost 36 and tied 16. All told, Notre Dame teams ave scored 5742 points against 1004 bv opponents. Their largest score was in 1905 against American Medical col lege of Chicago, which they won by 140 to 0.

The possibility of a post-season game will be taken up later, accord ing to Luther Nichols, graduate man ager, who added that the University of California would not meet any eastern eleven unless a date could be arranged with one of the three named. President Davkl p. Barrows has in dorsed the project, but lias stipulated that the members of the team must maintain their classroom work. "Andy" Smith, coach, said an eastern game had been desired for some time. HEGHETS SENT BY IIAKVAUU t'liiii.-on Scheduled to Buttle Penn Slate on Date Set. BOSTON, Jan. 15.
