LAST C HOICE I Q QC AT UADSBVS" AT H0iJ3 1 fU-i-ii 'III 25 OFF ON ALL DAVENPORTS! F OOTBALL PMCnC E STARTS 111 SPRING Punting and Passing Will Be ' Taught to New Men. PLAN NEW AT OREGON Veterans of Otlicr Seasons Will Xot Be Required to Get Into Train ing Under Schedule. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 22. (Special.) Spring football practice is going to take its place on the list of sport activities at the uni versity this year, according to "Shy" Huntington, coach of t,he varsity eleven. For the most part the work will be limited to passing and punt ing, and will not be required of the veterans of otner seasons. it will mainly be for the benefit of .those who have never had experience at football and expect to try for varsity- places next fall. There will be no attempt made to have scrimmage, according to Hunt ington The chief work will be for those who are to try for backfleld and end berths, and will consist in having the backs sprint, and showing the linemen how to start. Bill Hayward, trainer, will give the men some in struction, and try to keep them in good condition. Huntington's chief idea in adopting the- system of spring training this year is to develop a punter and a passer. The teaming idea is new at Oregon, although it has been success fully tried at other of the colleges on the coast. The loss of Bill Steers will be felt more from the angle of his ability to kick and pass the ball than from any other. "Spike" Leslie, his, understudy in the art of booting the ball, n a linesman and it is advisable to have a backfleld man do this work when possible. None of last year's frosh eleven was exceedingly brilliant in this department of the game. Bur ton was probably the best and he will be tried out and instructed this spring. The receiving of passes by the ends and the receiving of punts will be drilled on. Some of the men will also be trained to pass. These depart ments of the game are always hard to master and the spring work will be of considerable assistance to t"he coaches as they will be able to dispense with much of the preliminary work when the fall workout begins. A number of veterans were lost to the Oregon team this year and it is necessary that considerable new ma terial be broken in before the start or the season. This is the chief reason for the adoption of the spring train ing plan.

The card is regarded as one of the best ot the season in Tacoma. BY FRANCIS OUIJ1ET. NTIL quite recently it was under stood that anything with an English flavor to it was sup posed to be the last word in golf. Of late this has become an open question. In fact, today we are not even willing to aoncede British golf anything, for we are quitev aware that the golf played by both our amateurs and pro fessionals is equal to that put ut by linksmen anywhere.' Take the play of Jock HutchinBon as an example in our professional ranks. In the open he scored a 9 his first round, and to prove this was not a flash he later duplicated it. Is there-anyone who will say Vardon or Ray or Duncan or Mitchell could do better? And take the play of Chick Evans as an example of our amateurs. Chick, winning the title this-year, played unbeatable golf. Surely not British amateur is in his class. Competition Did Jt. A bit of personal history may offer the reason for this rise of American golfers. When I first began competin iu Massachusetts a dozen years ago. a score in the low tOs was a winner Then Arthur Lockwood, who had learned his golf on the wind-swept EngKsh courses, was our supreme player and had been for a long while. He was one of the best of our early amateurs. When courses were constructed and competition became the rule things began happening. It was not long before Lockwood's position was con tested. Stars like Chandler and Walter Egan, cousins. FrCd Herrcshoff, Jerry Travers ahd Walter Travis were de veloped by this competition. With out it they and American golf would have lagged. It was competition which caused the rapid rise of Bobby Jones, in 1!I16 as a boy of 14 he made his initial appear ance in a national amateur. No one took him seriousiy except somu friends (iood Play I)inlayf-d. ( Jones put out some great players and was only disposed of by an ex champion. Bob Gardner, in the round before the semi-finals. Since then he has made it a point to play fre- J quently against the stlffest competi tion and he has certainly held hi 'own. I'm sure had Bobby not pur posely sought these opportunities ot matching shots with the golf elite ot two continents, his progress would not have been anything like what it has been. In 1916 I was deprived of playing as an amateur.- The next two years were upent In the army. Thus, for three sea sons, I had little opportunity for competitive play. What was the re sult? It was not the easiest thing in the world to come back to my old form. I just couldn't. To play at one's best one must have constant tests of the most difficult kind. England Takes Slump. That is the trouble with English amateur golf and the reason they have no comers like Jones, Herron and Piatt to carry on the high standard set by Ball, Hilton. Harris, Lockhart and others. Until they feature com petition among amateurs they cannot hope to regain prestige now being lost. On the other hand. British profes sional golf owes its supremacy In great measure to the numerous matches 'and exhibitions held every year. Scarce a week goes by that their cracks are not eagerly sought for. This has kept them at high pitch just as it has no doubt made thetn the great golfers they are. American Game Better. We have seen the light in this re- spect and a rapid improvement has been made as a result. Take Jim Barnes, a fine example. When Jim came from Tacoma a few years back he was a fine player, but no one thought he had the kind of golf in him he has displayed the past few years. Again seeking frequent tests with the best in the world is the cause. So has gone the game between Eng land and America. That Is why I said at the start we grant British golf not a point today. And if our leaders keep up the good work they may be de pended upon to play on equal or bet ter terms with any golfers the world over. The opposite holds true, as well. But abandon play for a while and either the touch or your confidence has gone the two factors most mak ing for success! BEST FlfflCl ID Deficit of Other Sports Made Up Yearly.

The date for these contests has not been defi nitely decided but will be held some time within tn'e next six weeks. Competition is keen for places on the squad, which will be selected soon. Leta Agee. guard; Gladys John son, jumping center, and Alta Ment- aer, forward, members of last year s team, are back again this season. Miss Ruth Wenlger, coach of the team, saj-s that the many girls who are turning out for practice are doing good work, but that Irene Brye, who played forward for four years, is sorely missed. Only one game was scheduled for last year, that with Reed college, the Aggie's team defeating them by a large score. The game with Oregon university was canceled because of the "flu" ban there. IX TRAM URAL SPORTS EXCEL was graduated last June Robertson, however, is fortunate in retaining such a skille'd middle dis tance runner as Earl Eby, the Chicago iad. who had threatened to leave col lege in the fait after his return from the Olympics at Antwerp. Eby ran second to the famed Hill of England in the 800 meters, and also had the satisfaction of beating B. G. T. Rudd. the Oxford student, who performed so admirably in the Penn relay carni val last April. With Eby available for the half-mile. Penn has one of the best "880" men in the country. Rob ertson also, intends to use"Wni as a quarter-miler, with the hope that Eby may be able to do what Ted Meredith performed some years ago when he turned in a double victory in the in- tercollegiates. Box Maxam. the Washington lad. also is available again, and Robertson plans to use him in the sprints and 440-yard dash. Maxam was best known as a quarter-miler before he entered Penn, but In the last year or so Robertson has been trying to make a sprinter out of him. In Harold Lever, the Ilion (N. Y.) lad. Penn ha one of the most prom ising sprinters in collegiate ranks. Lever strained a tendon last spring. but" regained his form in the final meet with, the Cornell freshmen and was a star. , CO-ED TOSSERS WORK HARD Members of Basketball Squad Are Contesting Places on Teuin.

(Copyright, 1921. by Tho Orcsonian.) NEW YORK. Jan. 22. (Special.) Athletics as a constructive element in university expansion has again been exemplified in. a gift of $50,000 from the University ot Pittsburg Athletic association toward the pro posed erection of a new recitation building to be known as Alumni hall. This gift is supplementary to $50,000 already given to the university by the athletic branch. Such contributions f.'om athletics to the educational end of a seat or learning is a startling sign of the times, inasmuch as it affords a sharp departure from the financing of stadiums and the maintenance of purely athletic activities. The amount involved in these two gifts is much more than the total en dowment fund of many an educa tional institution in times before or ganized athletics came to their pres ent significant estate. It represents practically the football profits of two years at Pittsburg. Football Mnin Support. Football has become throughout the country the main support of all , the athletic interests in the majority of colleges and universities. With- , out the football gate, tho various teams, nines, crews, etc., could not be financed. The expense column of a university athletic department at the pref.ent time is so largo that few care to publish it in detail, and If football should suddenly cease the undergraduates nnd alumni of any of our large universities would stand aghast, at- the request to furnish an amount of money necessary to carry on the other sports. Baseball at times is self-supporting; perhaps a little more, but aside from this are few self-supporting or ganizations in the athletic line and there are several, like crew and track athletics, which run deep Into the deficit, which must he made up through football receipts. And these expenditures are wowing steadily. At the time of the war a great amount of sentiment was expressed in faculty and athletic committees to the effect that this was the time to start on a new era of economical administra tion In athletics, and Wny were the declarations mads against training tables, engagement of seasonal conches, expensive traveling and the like. But none of these reforms ma terialized when college sports roso again to normal or as we might say, abnormal. Of course, the uni versity which is situated in or near a large town lias an cnorm ins ad vantage In the matter of gate re ceipts. Harvcrd. just across the tridite from Boston, can draw on Bos ton for a considerabU attendance on account of the great popularity of football, even at the minor games. Yale is so situated that her adver tising of New Haven's population makes her gate rathe:- better than Princeton's, although Princeton is slightly nearer' New York, from which city both dial.- heavily. Pennsylvania, being located right in Philadelphia, has practically as great possibilities of gate as has Har vard. Pittsburg has a similar posi tion. Chicago is well known as the "mecca of the middle west confer ence teams"; Brown has a great ad vantage in drawing from Providence. Institutions like Dartmouth. Cornell, Colgate and, in a measure, Syracuse, find a game In a large metropolis well worth while from this staud point. Inter-sectional athletics, particular ly inter-sectional football, has come to help out because there is much mofe partisanship about this than with the ordinary minor game, and hence we shall see more and more of such contests i-i the future, provided the authorities permit it. Trnck Seldom Pnys. The only case of track games wherein a good profit is made is the Pennsylvania relay carnival. It conies at a time of year when Inter est is becoming ripe in track ath letics and last year, on account of the If you don't see what you want above, come in and ask for it We have many more bargains.

EUGENE. Or., Jan. 22. (Special.) Eugene high school defeated Albany high school in the first interscholastlc basketball game of the season on the local floor last night by a score of 33 to 28. The game was characterized by roughness on both sides, although Referee Jacdbberger called but few fouls. can be counted upon. Of course, row ing Is an expensive sport and never has any possibilities of gate receipts worth the name. The boat race re reitits at New London and o'.hcr baseball and placPK are small, and the whole def icit has to he raced oy tne amieuc association drawing on the football funds. So long as things move on as they are now, and football continues popu lar, the big colleges and those locat ed near the largs cities will be ablo to finance their athletics. What a great crash wouli come at any time if football failed to provide in this way for the sustenance of the other non-payirg athletic branches, may thus be imagined? Iivtaco Defeats Rainier.
