BT WALTER CAMP.
(Copyright. 1921, by The ureKoniu.)
Changes in the football rules for the
season of 1921 have been made for
the purpose of clarification, rather
than alteration, in play. Many of the
difficulties noted are merely those of
phrasing, while some have been made
for easier analysis of play by the
spectators.
The alterations' which bear direct
ly upon play begin with rule four.
Here It is made clear that when time
Is called for the end of the game or
the end of a period and a fair catch
has been made Just prior to the call
of time the team making the fair
shall have the privilege of the kick,
but may not put the ball in scrim
mage. Word "Illegal" Added.
In rule six, the word "illegal" has
been added so that the rule applies
not only to an incompleted forward
pass, but also to an illegal one.
Rule seven has been altered so that
it now accords with custom. The
rule formerly provided that the cap
tains should toss for choice of goal.
No one can remember when the cap
tains did this. The referee has tossed
the coin for years, while one of the
two captains called his choice and
that procedure now is provided for
in the rules. Rule seven, in addition,
now provides that after the winner
has made his choice, he may not
thereafter change his decision, which
must stand.
Rules nine, 17 and 23 have under
gone some slight changes In word
ing merely In order to make their
meaning clearer. These changes are
not likely to alter the play. Rule 23,
dealing with unnecessary roughness,
has been made to cover the various
cases arising under Its jurisdiction,.
One of its sections has been sub
divided, so that tripping, tackling out
of bounds, throwing the player with
the ball to the ground after the ball
has been declared dead, or any other
unnecessary roughness are grouped
under one head, unnecessarily run
ning Into or throwing one'self against
a player obviously out of the play
either before or after the ball has
been declared dead and unnecessarily
roughing a man who has made a for
ward pass are grouped under an
other head. The penalty for offenses
under the first head Is loss of 15
yards from the spot where the foul
was committed.
For the second list of offenses the
penalty is loss of 15 yards from the
spot where the ball was put in play.
IV'evr Section Added.
A new section has been added to
rule 14, which will be gratefully ap
preciated by the spectators, as well as
by the unfortunate team forced to
make a safety touchdown. This new
ruling provides that the side making
a safety may bring the ball out to
their own 30-yard line, while a side
making a touch-back may bring the
ball out only to their own 20-yard
line as before.
The principal reason for this altera
tion was to enable the spectators to
know at once when the ball was
touched down In goal by the side de
fending that goal, whether It was a
safety and so scored two points for
the opponents attacking that goal, or
whether It was only a touchback,
which scored nothing.
It seemed fair also that a side so
hard pressed aa to be forced to make
a safety should be entitled to a
somewhat greater distance in which
to protect their goal line than that
given the team which merely had
made a touch-back.
Quite a number of so-called "ap
proved rulings" are appended to the
rules by the rules committee. These
will be explained and dealt with later
by the writer.
BT L. H. GREGORY.
ALMOST before we know it the
football season will be here.
From this writing to September
15, opening day of varsity football h '
practice under Pacific coast comer- j
ence rules, is less than a month. The
colleges already have forgotten base
hall. They are thinking only of foot
ball. It looks like a big season. Every
body; of course, will be out to beat
California. With that great eleven
minus only two of its stars, Majors
and Pesky Sprott. the chances for do
ing it are not particularly bright.
But that will not keep the boys from
trying.
Oregon gets the ' first conference
whack at California. Their game will
be played at Berkeley October 22.
California will be a known Quantity.
Oregon a guess. California will have
a team of veterans, with a full eleven
of substitutes all nearly aa good as
the men they are trained to replace;
Oregon will be minus Bill Steers, her
only feature player last season, with
out whom her team was nothing the
holes from graduation will be filled
with last season's freshmen. They
may be stars or dubs. No one knows,
not even themselves or their coach,
for they never have been tried.
California on top of this will have
the advantage of good training
weather and a dry, fast field. Both
mean a lot, especially at that early
stage of the season. It looks now
like a victory for California.-
may very easily, give Seattle a pen
nant. Moreover, the Suds finish on their
home lot, while San Francisco ends
the season on the road. The Seals
a final chance to retrieve If
they fall down In the interim, be
cause they play Portland here in the
next to last week. But the antidote
to that is the last week of the sea
son, in which they play Seattle at
home. If both clubs are contenders
then, how the fur will fly!
Seattle's chances look a heap bet
ter since Herb (christened Lynn)
Brenton has kissed and made up with
President Klepper of the Suds.
Klepper suspended Brenton when the
latter beefed about his salary, and
slapped on a J300 fine besides. But
all that Is forgotten, the fine no
doubt remitted, and Brenton is with
the club again to bolster up the fal
tering pitching staff. He won his
game Friday, 3 to 1, and may be fig

I'aul Schneider-man of Portland
Arranges Speed Contests for
Labor Day Feature.
UUUIUU
TACOMA, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Paul Schnelderman of Port
land arrived here yesterday morning
to start work on his plans for staging
a two-day motorcycle race meet at,
the local speedway September 4 and 5.
Schnelderman managed two success
tul motorcycle race meets in Port
land this summer, and says he will
have riders here for the coming meet
who will be able to give the speed
fans more thrills than they ever have
experienced at the local auto races.
This will be the first opportunity
local fans have had of witnessing
motorcycle races, and it will be the
first time that the two-wheelers ever
have competed on a board track in
the northwest. Official sanction has
been granted by the Motorcycle and
Allied Trades association, which is
the governing body of all motorcycle
race meets, for holding the coming
races. ,
The best time ever made by the
auto racers on the local two-mile
track was 9s miles an hour and
Schnelderman says the motorbikes
will be able to do better than 100
miles an hour in the coming meet.
One motorcycle racer already has
been "clocked at 107 miles an hour.
Eight-valve motors will
the coming meet instead of the
pocket-valve type which has been
used In the dirt track races through
out the northwest. The eight-valve
machines are capable of doing six
seconds better to the mile than the
pocket-valve racer.
Some of the most famoua figures In
America's motorcycle racing game
will be bere to compete. The list of
possible entries Includes Otto Walker,
Wells Bennett, Ralph Hepburn, Bob
Newman, Butch Woolsifer. J. L. Vail,
Red Cogburn, Ray Washier, Fred
rick! and Seymore.
The next conference eleven that
will try to tak a fall out of the
Bears is Washiigton .State. If any
conference teaiA can do it, that team
appears to be the one from Washing
ton State. Pre-season dope is often
misleading. Nevertheless, Washing
ton State, view from any angle,
looks formidable indeed.
She has her same wily coach, Guf
Welch, the Carlisle Indian, and most
of the veteran lin'eup that so spec
tacularly won In the last quarter from
the University of Nebraska, 21 to 20.
To he sure, her great fullback, Glllls.
is missing, and Gillis was an entire
eleven In himself. Yet she has well
tried material coming up, and above
all, a team in harmony with itself
and with its coach.
Everybody now knows that lack .of
harmony caused the 49-to-0 disaster
vhen Washington State played Call
tornia last October. Andy Smith
knows it. The California team knows
it. And Washington State knows It
and will strive the more desperately
to wipe out that disgrace. After Gus
Welch took his squad home from
Berkeley and with a firmness that
did him credit weeded out the dis
senters and threw them out of the
lineup, Washington State became a
different team entirely. What it did
against Oregon Agricultural college
and against Nebraska showed that.
Now it will train for one thing to
prove itself against California.
Portland Is in great luck on this
game, for it will be played here, on
Multnomah field, October 29. From
all present Indications it will be the
season's fiercest struggle. People' will
come here from California, Washing
ton and Oregon to see it. Multnomah
held will be crowded and lammed
w'th a great partisan throng.
Portand also will have another
varsity, football game, that between
the University of Oregon and the
University of Idaho. It will be played
bere two weeks earlier than the California-Washington
State struggle,
the date tot it being October 15. This
is the first conference game scheduled
in the Pacific northwest. Oregon has
downed Idaho 13 times In succession,
but last year her victory was aided
by lucky breaks. Idaho will be play
ing to break the ancient jinx and get
away to a new start. Oregon will be
playing to prove to herself that she
has the material and the team. It
will be 7ortb. seeing.
This is as good a time as any to
publish the 1921 football schedules of
the Pacific coast conference varsity
teams. Here Is the list, including
also some of the early-season prac
tice games whloh have no bearing on
the conference race:

William A. (Pa) Rourke. for 23 years
owner of the Omaha club in the
Western league and one of the prom
inent figures in minor-league base
ball, went on to San Francisco early
In the week, after a stay here of sev
eral weeks. Some have construed
this to mean that Rourke is no longer
even a possibility as a prospective
purchaser of the Portland club.
Perhaps this is so and perhaps It
isn't. Rourke didn't talk much to
Judge McCredie about buying the
club; in fact, it was mentioned be
tween them only once, and that cas
ually, but this is hardly the buying
season. Clubs usually are eold in the
winter, when the Hot Stove league is
In session. What Mr. Rourke was do
ing here for the most part was to look
over the field, get a line on the senti
ments of the fans, squint over the club
to note its possibilities and impossi
bilities, and determine what Portland
would be as a baseball town if it had
a winning team. Now he Is in San
Francisco, where Cal Ewlng, owner
of the Oakland club, is an old friend.
Cal and Charley Graham can give him
the low down on a lot of things it
would be convenient for a prospective
purchaser of the Portland club to
know. Something may be cooked up
yet. Certainly the other club owners
in the league are. just as eager for
new ownership of the Portland club as
are the people of Portland. They
might have inducements to offer.
If Rourke should buy the Portland
club then it's dollars to coffee cake
that Marty Krug would become mana
ger. Marty managed the Omaha team
under Rourke's ownership for three
seasons, and In one of them, 1916,
brought the town the first pennant it
had had in several years.
m .
The Western Canada league, which
broke up partially when Regina and
Moose Jaw threw up the sponge re
cently, is in danger of going all to
pieces in a controversy over a young
pitcher who tried out with the Bea
vers at spring training camp. This
pitcher is Ed Zlnk, ex-Unlverslty of
Nebraska southpaw. Zfnk went to
Billy Speas' club at Regina and
pitched very good ball until, with
many other players at Regina and
Moose Jaw, he found himself out of
a Job. Saskatoon signed him for the
remainder of the season.
Winnipeg, the only large city in the
league, at once raised a great protest
over both Zink and Oscar Harstad,
once a Portland pitcher. Under the
pretext that permitting other teams to
load up with players from the defunct
clubs is against the interest of good
sport, the Winnipeg owners have
threatened to withdraw from the
league unless both are released. Sas
katoon Is standing pat and it now be
comes a showdown.
SINGLE G. IS VICTOR
THREE FASTEST TIEATS OF
YEAR AT PHILADELPHIA.
Free-for-AU Feature of Final Day
of Grand Circuit Programme
Is Captured.
Prominent golfers from every section
of the northwest will be present to
compete for the handsome prizes ot
tered for the winners.
With the amateur championship
scheduled for St. Louis next month
many of the leading golf figures In
the northwest will come to Gearhart
preliminary to making the eastern
trip. Many have expressed their in
tent to be present for the keen com
petition expected, in the coming tour
ney. Several Washington cities will send
their best players and every club in
Oregon will be represented. Ercel
Kay, who defeated Russell Smith in.
the final round last year, is expected
to be present to defend his honors
Douglas Nlcol, the youngster from the
Portland Golf club. Is on hand to give
the older players some trouble.
Duvarde, the Belgian player now In
the Canadian Rockies, Is expected to
arrive on the links in time for the
play. He has been playing all summer
on various courses In Canada and golf
enthusiasts are hoping that he will
stop over here.
Noted Golfers Invited.
Many of the golfers who stood, in
the limelight in the northwest cham
pionship play at Portland are ex
pected to enter the competition here.
Invitations have been forwarded to
George von Elm, H. Chandler Egan,
Russell Smith. Rudolph Wllhelm,
Clark Spiers, Bob Stein, Dr. Willing.
Clare Grlswold and other golfers who
are expected to compete in the ama
teur championships. In many respects
the Gearhart course resembles that of
the Sunset Hills at St. Louis, where
the national event will be staged.
This particular course has tended to
attract many of the countrys' best
golfers to Gearhart.
The women's championships are
proving to be a drawing card. A
large number of entries have been
received for the women's round and
with many of the feminine golfers
under a hundred the competition
should be the best in the history of
this feature.
Owen A. Merrick, who is in charge
of the tournament his year, reports
that the course is in excellent shape.
It has proven very popular among the
numbers of vacationists who are re
siding here. A new green has been
placed at the No. 2 hole. This will be
used for the first time at the tour
nament. Lowest 10 to Qualify.
The play will begin at 9 o'clock on
Wednesday with medal play on the
first 18 holes. The lowest 16 scores
will qualify for the championship
round. The women's championship
will begin at 2:15 in the afternoon,
following the second 18 holes of the
men's qualifying round. The wom
en's round will be played over 18 holes
with the lowest eight qualifying for
the championship flight.
There w'll be two elimination
rounds of 18 holes each for the men's
championship round on Thursday,
with one each for the women's cham
pionship, women's flights, and men's
flights. The men's championship
semi-finals of 36 holes will be staged
on Friday with the finals on Satur
day. A mixed foursome handicap will
be held on Saturday.
ABERDEEN INCREASES DEAD
Seattle still has a chance at the
Pacific Coast league pennant. As this
was written the Suds had broken
even with Sacramento in their first
four games, while San Francisco and
Vernon were fighting it out, game 1
for game. This left Seattle seven full
games behind the Seals, with six
weeks in which to make up the gap.
From Sacramento the Suds go to
Los Angeles and tackle Vernon,
which Is a tough team to tackle
right now. After that series they
take on the Seals on the San Fran
cisco lot. Exceot for one thine- it
be used In ' would be then or never for Seattle.
But that one thing Is a mouthful
perhaps a big enough, succulent
enough mouthful to decid the whole
argument. For two weeks in a row
the Suds play the Portland Beavers
on week here in Portland, the sec
ond week In Seattle. Suppose they
take 11 of the 14 games what then?
Why, anything and everything! per
haps, for during those two weeks the
Seals will be playing, first Los An
geles, which has talcen two series
this year from them; next Oakland,
which always Is a hard club for San
Francisco to beat. Those two weeks
