HAS HARD SCHEDULE T S O TTO OPEN GAWLEY MADE REFEREE 3T. M. C. A. Physical Director Gets Official Appointment for Ore gon, From Committee. ' Few changes of any Importance Were made this year in the 1921-22 'basketball rules, according to T. H. Gawley, director of physical educa tion of the Young Men's Christian association here, who recently re ceived his appointment as an official basketball referee for Oregon from the Joint basketball committee, the national governing body of the winter port. Instructor Gawley, who also received a copy of the changes in the rules, declares that in most instances these were made simply to clarify some of the present rules. Section 2, rule 2. which states the backboards shall be located in a posi tion, at each end at right angles to the floor and their centers shall lie ta the perpendiculars erected at the points in the court two feet from the midpoint of the end lines, has been changed to Indicate that the back boards shall be parallel to the end lines, which, makes the rule more clear. Rule 5, section 8, regarding sub stitutions, has been worded torequlre the substitute to report to the referee and then to be recognized by him. This was changed to make the mean ing of the rule more definite. Personal Fouls Penalised. Rale , eection S, which covers the personal foul penalty, has been changed to indicate that a player who makes four personal fouls auto 1 xnatlcally removes himself from the cro-iie, no rQieroo Biuipi uuvuuuiiib the fact that he has made four per sonal fouls. Rule 6, section 4, Which relates to unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of players, has also been made to cover the same misconduct on the part of spectators. Rule 7, section 2, declares only the backboards are in bounds. All braces, supports, etc., are to be considered out-of-bounds, whatever their loca tion. Section T of the same rule has also several changes. The following paragraphs have 'been eliminated from the rule: "A player who is standing still when he receives the ball may stap one foot in any direc tion in making a pass or in throwing for goal, and then may Jump from one or both feet; but the ball must leave his bands before one or both leet again touch the floor. Rnnning Definition Chanced, "A. player with the ball in bis possession, who changes position without appreciably advancing the ball in any direction shall not be considered as running with the ball. "A. player who is standing still when he receives the ball and who wish-es to start a dribble may start a step in any direction, but the ball must leave his possession before that foot again touches the floor.' In place of the above paragraphs a note baa been added which gives the player the same privilege in starting a dribble as be la now allowed In making a pass or throw ing for goal. The judgment of the referee is enlarged so as to include the player getting rid of the ball, as well as stopping as soon as possible. Hand Mast Be en Small of Back. Rule 8, section 5. Indicates more clearly that the position of the hand is to be in contact with the mlddie of the small of the back when the ball is being tossed up between two players, Section 1 of rule 11. pertaining to time being taken out, has been elim inated and a new section substi tuted, which provides that only the referee can order time to be taken out. He orders time to be taken out for a double foul, for injuries to players, for substitutions, or upon request of a captain. If the captain requests time out. the referee shall allow it only if his team is in posses sion of the ball, except in case injury. A substitution, except for injury. Is limited to 30 seconds, A substitution shall be charged again s the captain if he consumes more than one minute la, making a substitution for injury. Not more than two minutes shall be permitted for any time out. Time out will be allowed only three times for each team dur ing a game. Rule 12, section 8, defines what Is meant by the term "under the N basket," which is any point where the location of the basket would in terfere with the ball or Jumpers when the ball is tossed up by the referee. HAKBirrs uxxu is good (Dane Fights S55 Battles Without Reins' Knocked; Out. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Three hun dred and fifty-five ring battles, fought over a period of less than .seven years without once being knocked out. is the record of one of the New York boxers probably known to few of the fight fans, Larry Han sen. The durable Dane was boxing with Champion Leonard at the Palace of Joy gymnasium recently, when one of the old-timers remarked as he pointed to the great Tittle Danish battler: There's a fighter. If he had been boxing In the day when champion ships were won and lost over the fin ish route instead of in 8 to 15-round bouts, be would have more than likely held the crown. They can't knock him out and he can go any distance. How woald the dancing masters of today fare with him in an undetermined contest? They would fit the same as the clever boxers did with Battling Nelson in finish fights. BIG LEAGUE OLCT3S FOR SALE One Is in American and Two in X-ational Organization. NEW YORK. Aug. 20. It is ru mored that three major league clubs will change ownership this fall. Two of these clubs are in the National league and one in the American. The owners of one of the National league clubs, supposed to be in the market. are tired of spending money. They have experienced misfortune in hiring managers and are said to be ready to sell to the highest bidder. The Amer ican league club reported to be for sale has been poorly handled by in experienced persons and has lost ! much of its former patronage in first-class baseball city.

No fewer than ten of the 25 receiving rating turned in earned-run columns showing fewer than three deserved tallies per game off their deliveries. Bill Horan of Holy Cross shows the lowest total with 0.60. but the pitching title really rests with his teammate, Jim Tunney. Horan pitiched only one complete game. In seven contests Tunney allowed his opponents an average of 1.8. runs per game. Tunney also leads the pitchers in the number of batsmen struck out, with 28. Ralph Knight of Brown is second, with 22, and F. V. Tracy of Dartmouth tnira.-witn zi. mil Horan of Holy Cross has a better compara tive record than either of these, how ever, with 17 men fanned in 15 in nings, aa average of more than ten one of the fastest men In the league, which is responsible for stretching so many of his hits.

WOMDiER. SWDDfER ITROTKJOEID PouTteen-Tear-Old Xew York Girl to Worry Title Holders. Once more the New Tork Women's Swimming association has produced a young wonder swimmer. Miss Ger trude Ederle, barely 14 years old, per formed two feats which place her ahead of all mermaids of her age in a meet at Springlake, N. J., recently She threshed 50 yards In' 30 1-5 sec onds and 100 yards in 1:08 2-5 in the 75-foot pool of the Bathing and Ten nis club. The former time Is equal to the figures returned by Miss Charlotte Boyle in winning the national half- century championship last winter. The latter is by long odds the fastest ever made by a girl under 15, and it is worthy of note that little Ml Ederle won her previous race at the hundred in 1:13, which indicates an improvement of more than four sec onds since early summer. At the rate she la developing the lassie may cause title-holders to worry before long. Field Trials Sept. 26-28.

Another golf course will be added to the long list of southern Californ'a links when the San Diego Country club opens its new course with a tournament Sep. tember 3, 4 and 5. The course is within convenient distance of San Diego and affords a view of ocean and mountains. Ex perts declare it to be strictly Scot tish. Approximately 250,000 has been in vested by the club in the course, there being 160 acres of land and a $50,000 clubhouse in the property. Three ten nis courts are being built at the club. house. The course was designed by Will iam Watson of Los Angeles and will be in charge of "Jimmy" Simpson, one of the best-known professionals on the Pacific coast. The yardage for the course is as follows: First hole, 360 yards; second, 410 third. 164; fourth, 605; fifth. 388 sixth. 186; seventh. 317; eighth. 468 ninth, 385; tenth, 480 11th. 320; 12th us; loin, -.; j. in, e; latn, aza 16th, 139; 17th, 321; 18th, 425. The 18th hole is declared to be one of the most remarkable on the coast. being well trapped and with the nat ural undulating fairway, affording a keen test to the experienced golfer. The sixth hole also plays a prom inent part in contributing to what experts- term a "sporty" course. The ZVz miles of fairway are all in grass, kept green by seven miles of water piping, while the greens them selves a-e a vast expanse of velvety turf. The course is composed of two big nine-hole loops, which will have "right-of-way" at all points, crossing neither each other nor being crossed by any roadways. Par for the new course Is 36 on each nine and this will give contestants something to shoot at, as par is figured on ward age alone, no consideration being given the hasards. The total yard age is 6432 for the 18 boles. BERKELEY, Cal- Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) Nine games, four of them with members of the Pacific coast confer ence, face Coach Andy Smith and his Bears at the opening of the 1921 gr'd season. It Is the most formidable array or teams tnat California has sent a varsity team against in history. The preliminary season of four games will begin on September 24 when the varsity plays St. Mary's college of Oakland.' Little opposition is promised here, even thonigh at this time CalifoY-nia will have had but eight days' practice. Following in rapid succession will be games with the Olympic club, University of Ne vada anB the Pacific fleet, which brings the schedule up to October 22 and the first conference game. It la then that the real test of the 1921 varsity will come, for on that date the University of Oregon will Invade Berkeley. It will be the first time since the war semester of 1918 that the two teams have met. In that year Shy Huntington's warriors fell, after a -muddy battle on Cali fornia field, by. a score of 6 to 0. and the memory of this defeat will be with' the lemon and yellow eleven as they face the same team on the same field three years later. Oregon to Be Watched. The result of this game with Ore gon will be watched with particular interest by grid followers of not only western but eastern football. For the last two years these teams have rep resented the west at the Tournament of Roses games at Pasadena. To the east, Oregon and California are the two best known western - football elevens. The victor- on October 22 should have a long-lead in the coast conference race. A week later the blue and gold will take their only big trip of the season when they go to Portland to play Washington State In their sec ond conference game.. Last year Welch's men lost by the overwhel ing score of 49 to 0. But the opti mistic Bear supporters will be glad if California wins this year by a touchdown. This is perhaps the hard est game of the season for the Berke ley eleven. On November 5 the University of Southern California will invade Berkeley for the first time In many years. In the last year a highly an tagonistic feeling has grown up be tween the blue and gold and Trojan institutions. When California was at the height of her football fame the southerners claimed, the champion ship of the coast and demanded a post-season game, which California could not play, due to approaching final examinations. Southern Califor nia's refusal to schedule .a game earlier In the season seemed for gotten. Trojan Team Intact. But Coach ''Gloomy Gus" Henderson has his 1920 team practically intact, and Andy Smith will hurl his most formidable lineup agialnst the Tro jans to wipe out the memory of last year. The final games with Washington and Stanford complete the season. Both have strong teams and will make a desperate bid for the confer ence championship. The game with Stanford on November 19 will mark the fifth straight heavy game for the Bears in five weeks. Fall practice for the varsity will begin September 15, according to the rulings of the conference. Previous to this, however, an interclass series will be held. In which no varsity or numeral man is eligible to play. It looks now as If the 1921 team will be practically the same as that of last year. The loss of Sprott, Majors and Deeds, all heroes of the Ohio State game, will be felt, but the re turn of Schuur and Beam has all but made up for this loss. LONXJ IiUXS 3-JE BY GC2S Sensational- Shooting (Developed D-irlng:' 1921 Season. The long run of 435 straight made by Frank Wright of Buffalo, N. Y. in several shooting tournaments in that section has brought out some official long-run scores of 1921. It develops that in the Colorado state shoot Rush Razee, a professional of Curtis, Neb., broke 307 straight, the longest official run of the year. E. W. Renfro ran 295 straight in the Montana state shoot, in which he won the championship, which is the best amateur run of the year in one tour nament. While Renfro was making his 29a In Montana.

For those who find all the thrills of sport in a hard-fought game, the season ahead promises more treats than usual. The chance of seeing in action Princeton's great eleven, welded into an even smoother machine by an added year's experience, is great enough in itself, but the additional promise of a 'schedule that includes games with Chicago, Navy, Yale and Harvard Is a glory beyond recount ing. Harvard, too, undertakes a man sized job in facing Center, Penn State, Princeton and Tale in one and the same year, and that without the Brickleya, the Mahans, the Caseys and the Hardwicks of seasons gone. Penn State, never a shirker in the matter of schedules, has outdone Itself by arranging to shape up against such tTifling foemen as Georgia Tech, Dartmouth, Harvard and Pitt. Other games will be almost equal in public interest, Barnyard Golf Fair Feature. OLTMPIA, Wash., Aug. 20 Horse shoe pitchers of Washington received official recognition recently when E. L.

ENGLISH MOTORBOAT, WHICH HAS ATTAINED A SPEED OF EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR. ; ; " -J :" - ' ' - jij feg" 'C ' ' ' ' '-- ' "'1 .?--- - i If Sir Thomas Lipton as was re ported from England really does challenge for a race for the America's cup in 1922 there is a good chance that the challenge will not be ac cepted by the New York Yacht club. The fact was apparent today as a result of a canvass of men interested in the sailing of big windjammers. There are many, reasons why Sir Thomas's challenge would meet with an unfavorable reception were he to send one. First of all, conditions in the financial market are not propi tious and when this status obtains members of the New York Yacht club who are looked upon to finance the designing and building of one or more defenders and defraying cost of upkeep and the like have more Impor tant use for their time and their nfjney. Again, It Is believed that American sailing men should spend the next few years in building up the sport which had never recovered from the effects of the war. In a year In which there is a race for the America's cup general yachting always sags and it is felt that the sport has already sagged more than is good for it. Finally New York Yacht club racing men feel that more healthful and gen erally more satisfactory conditions in volving the America's cup would be created if Sir Thomas Lipton could be disillusioned of the idea that he has a mortgage as challenger for the trophy. His persistence is appreciated and his qualities as a sportsman rec ognized. Yet, at the same time th. New York Yacht club undoubtedly reels tnat the good-natured baronet, having had five tries at the mug and having cornered all the advertising wmch rails to a challenger over period of 20 odd years, would do a graceful and considerate act were he to retire from the field, yielding place to some other British yachtmon. who. it is now believed, hold back for fear Lipton will accuse them of attempt ing to steal his own particular brand or glory. In sum. if Sir Thomas does chal lege for a 1922 race and it would have to come this fall if he desired a contest next summer it need sur prise no one if the defi is kindly bu none me less rirmly turned down.

(Copyright, 1821. by The Oreconlin.) BW YORK, Aug. 20. SpeciaL) Grafting tall-end timber to make a championship team shows greater hardihood than a man who grafted a thistle upon a strawberry plant, expecting to get a new brand of pineapple. Whenever Jack Miller tries to re tire and take up the thread of life at Kearny, N. J., he gets a fresh call from Philadelphia to come over and play somewhere on the infield. It doesn't matter much to him where he plays because he has rambled all over It. It looks as if the choice for premier second baseman in the American league will lie between Eddie Collins and Harris of Wash ington, and it is very probable that there will be more. Still Harris is younger and more promising. The best fielding second baseman In the National league Is young Ford of Boston. Front, Horace. Both major leagues are laid under the base insinuation of running ac cording to dope. How eise could they have run than they have. They didn t need dope. They needed a stimulant. More chapters are to be added to the novelty in managers "who failed." It's getting to be a life story with some of them. Cobb is becoming the oldest ball player and doesn't know whether to talk about it w-tb pride or keep si lent from sorrow. Some folks say that If Speaker would play his left hand pitcher hitting team all of the time he would win the championship and point to the fact that it did the best work for him in the world series last year.
