INTEREST IN ITER
POLO IS REVIVING
Winged M Has First Chance
at National Title.
TRAINING TO BE HEAVY
Jack Cody to Have One Practice
Game Weekly Until IHg Kvent.
Excellent Material Available.
Interest In water polo Is reviving
In the northwest this season because
of the award of the National Amateur
Athletic union Junior water polo
championships to .Spokane. For sev
eral years Multnomah has held the
I'acific -Northwest association water
polo title, but this Is the ttrjft chance
for the Winged M water dogs at the
national title.
The date for the national meet in
Spokane has not been set, but Jack
Cody, swimming instructor at the
Multnomah club, is lining up a heavy
training campaign to put his players
in first-class condition for the event.
The Winged M team has yet to meet
defeat and it has defended its I'acific
northwest title for the last six or
seven years at the annual champion
ships. .Soma excellent material is available
for the club team. Cody will try to
have at least one practice game very
week until the national meet. Next
"Wednesday night the first same will
be played between two picked teams
in the Winged M pool. This contest
will start at 8:35. No admission will
be charged club members.
Some of the swimmers who will be
n hand for this game are Bus Doug-
Jas. Myron Wllsey. Ben Lombard. Ted
Alonen, H. Humphreys, 1'aul KIwell,
Bob Gardner, Van Helm, Ed Oisen
J. A. Russell, Sam Smooth, J. E. Berg,
Collie Wheeler, Gurtin Carroll and
Kobert Boggs.
Phil Patterson, who started at
guard In all Multnomah's outside
games, also may show up for prac
tice. Patterson has the size and speed
for a guard. Ono thing the clubmen
lack is weight, which counts more
man anything else in water polo,
specially in the guard positions.
The date of the city swimming and
diving championships to be held in
the Multnomah club tank has been
changed to early in February. If this
meet were held earlier in the season
it would conflict with the basketball
schedule at the club. The Winged
M basketball team has games set for
every Saturday night this month.
The postponement of the city cham
pionships will give the tankers more
time to get Into condition. The other
meets will follow closely the city
championships, so the contestants
ehould be In prime snape for all the
fixtures without breaking training In
between them.
According to Cody It looks like a
banner season for aquatics in the
northwest. Many of the present
etandards are expected to crack when
tlie swimmers hit the water in the
coming meets.

VAUSITV TO PLAV WHITMAN
THIS AVIiKK.
Coni-h Bohlcr Expects to Liose Be

Ilauaii AVith 1 ootball Team.
UNIVERSITY OF OUEGOV, Eu
gene. Jan. 7. (Special.) With two
games scheduled with the Whitman
college quintet to be played here
Monday and Tuesday nights and a
trip to Scattlo for three games di
rectly afterward, next week will open
the varsity conference basketball
achedule. The Oregon quintet is
hardly In shape for the opening of
the conference season this year,
which has been put ahead one week,
and the team does not expect to win
many of these early season games.
Coach Bohlcr is not optimistic over
.prospects for a victory in any of
these games. Jis team is handi
capped by tho fact that two of last
year's veterans are with tho football
ixiuad in the Hawaiian islands and
that there are only two letter men
available for tho varsity. Hunk
Latham, who played a good game at
center for the varsity last year, and
Bill Keinhart. who made his letter at
guard, are the basketeers on the trip
with the football squad. Frank
Boiler, guard, and Marc Latham, a
forward, are the two lettermen who
will be in the games next week.
Tho material working out for the
varsity five has been developed for
the most part in the doughnut bas
ketball competition, which ended just
before the holidays.
Hoi Andre and Itoy Veatch are both
showing well at forward, with Andre
apparently having the edge. Hockhcy
and Alstock, other prospective for-
wards, have done well but both are
light and Bonier wants to put a
heavier team on the floor in view of
the difficult schedule ahead. Itockhey
may develop later into a second Eddie
Durno. Ho is lightning fast and is
unerring in his basket shooting, but
he tips tiie scales at only 125.
Franz Heller Is playing his usual
brilliant game at guard. The other
guard position will be filled by Couch.
Burnett, nice. Goar or Edlunds. Bur
nett and Couch seem to have the edge
so far. They were both on the squad
last year, but failed to make their
letter.
The schedule follows:

CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 7. The har
ness horee racing season for 1922
will be planned here next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, when stew
ards and representatives of the Grand
and Lake Erie circuits hold their an
nual meetings and assign dates upon
which other harness racing dates
throughout the country are based.
The Grand Circuit meeting will
open Monday and continue Tuesday.
The schedules and rules committee
will meet Monday afternoon, with the
annual dinner to be held at night
Tuesday's programme as mapped out
by Secretary Kinnan calls for an open

horsemen are Invited, and an execu
tive meeting of the stewards in the
arternoon, at which action will be
taken on rules and schedules.
Tr.e Lake Erie officials, controlling
the half-mile tracks, will meet on
Wednesday.
One of the principal questions fac
ing the (Jrand Cricuit stewards is
whether dates will be assigned to the
Kenilworth track at Windsor, Ontario,
across the river from Detroit. Samuel
McBride. president of that track, has
signified his Intention of applying for
membership with a view to holding a
meeting during the two weeks pre
ceding the North Randall meeting.
under the Canadian law It Is pos
sible only to race three days a week.
and In order for a six-day meet to
be held at the Kenilworth track it
is necessary to race in two different
weeks.
However, the management of the
North Randall track here Is reticent
about relinquishing the opening of tho
Grand Circuit. They point to the fact
that they took the opening dates sev
eral years ago when no other track
wanted them, and since then has built
up its open meeting second to none
in the circuit.
If Lexington decides to substitute
a six-day meeting for the two weeks'
gathering It has held for many years,
as has been reported, this must also
come before the stewards. Such action
by Lexington would leavo a week
open between the Lexington and
Atlanta meetings.
The addition of Kenilworth would
give tho Grand Circuit 12 tracks.
Present members are North Randall,

RULES OF GOLF DECLARED TO
BE VERY MUCH NEGLECTED
Strange Part of It All Is That Game Is One of Simplest to Play,
Adds Jock Hutchison.
BY JOCK HUTCHISON.
Only American to Win British Open Cham
pionship. IN the lust few weeks I have writ
ten a great deal on the fine points
of the game. I haven't yet men
tioned one of the most important
things in connection with the royal
and ancient pastime. So I take this
opportunity to gfve a little advice on
the rules of the game.
For some reason the rules of golf
are very much neglected. I doubt if
there is anyone that knows them all
or would trust his memory to make a
quick decision when called upon.
The strange part of it all is that
golf is one of the simplest gumcs we
play. It consists merely in driving a
little ball with a club from a teeing
ground to a hole in the least number

cf strokes, yet the complications that
arise over this feat are astonishing.
In golf, as a usual thing, players
are left on their own. Every player
is supposed to keep an honest count,
and there are really few who would
willingly cheat in this respect A
player is supposed also to observe all
the ruleB and call a penalty on him
self before his opponent has a chance
of calling attention to it.
No player can learn the game prop
erly without studying the rules and
learning enough about them to play
in competition. There is nothing
worse than to be compelled to play
with a partner who is constantly in-'
fringing on the rules, because it is
everyone's duty and obligation t the
other players competing to see that all
the regulations are observed. When
it is not done, the player permitting

16 JCXIORS OF HUNT CLUB
PARTICIPATE IX EVENT.
Audrey Davis Kides Ironsides to
Second Place; Jack McDougall
on Daisy Deanc Is Third.
The first of a series of closed paper
chases for junior members of the
hunt club was won yesterday after
noon by Miss Dorothy McBride. rid
ing her horse Black Prince. Miss Mc
Bride was the only girl who won a
ribbon. She took the blue over Audrey
Davis, who rode Ironsides to second
place. Jack McDougall, on his father's
prize hunter, Daisy Deane, was third.
There were 16 Juniors In the field,
several of whom rode In the open
chase last Monday. In spite of plenty
of mud and a good bit of brush riding
the going was almost as fast as the
New Year classic over the same
course.
Thsl is the first of a series of four
junior chases. With a girl taking
the blue ribbon In a bunch where half
the riders were boys, a precedent has
been set that will make the other
three chases hard run -events. The
juniors gave, the seniors a hard go
last Monday.
The course yesterday was the same
used as an open chase last Monday,
but the rules for the closed runs,
holding the field together, kept those
familiar with the blinds from any
advantage.
The course was laid by James Nicol
and tho blinds were puzzling all the
way through. The field ran Into
more than half of them yesterday.
Miss McBride, winner of the blue
ribbon, is one of the most active
members and one of the best riders
of the Junior hunt.
hi partner to break rules can himself
be disqualified.
The most common things that the
beginner and the duffer fail to ob
serve are moving the ball and soling
the club in sand traps. Players with
out the slightest intention of cheat
ing anyone will place the club head
so near the ball in addressing it that
oftentimes it is turned over. This is
partly due to nervousnesc, but the
habit should be broken immediately.
Players who do this should hold the
club a little farther away. Many
players have this fault on the putting
green.
The penalty for this is a stroke. It
also is a stroke penalty if you take
your stance and ground the club and
tho ball moves without being touched.
It is presumed that you have caused
it to move.
One ehould be particular about
touching the sand with the club when
in a bunker or any other recognized
hazard. . One Is not permitted to touch
his club to the sand either in address
ing the ball or in the back swing If
ono were permitted to do this It would
be possible to scrape away enough
sand to make a better lie for the ball.
Golfers, however, most frequently in
fringe on this rule when they find
the ball in a road or a path Both are
hazards. You can't sole ycur club in
them.
If we all followed the golden rule it
would bo simple. Don't do anything
that you wouldn't want your opponent
to do. Don't take a practice swing
close to the ball, as it is sometimes
impossible to tell whether it is a
practice swing or a plain whiff. Many
a player does this one the tee very
close, to the ball, yet if bis opponent

SOCCER LEAGUE PUNNED
FOUR-TEAM CIRCUIT NEXT
YEAR TO BE ORGANIZED.
Canadian A'ets and Macleay Scots
and Dental College to Have
Three of the Teams.
Members of the Canadian Veterans
and Macleay Scots soccer teams, who
have been playing independent games
here since their withdrawal from the
Portland soccer association, already
are planning a new four-team circuit
for next season.
One of the new teams will be the
North Pacific Dental college. More
than 200 Canadian students are en
rolled at the dental school and nearly
all of them are adepts at the game.
With such a wealth of material to
draw from it should be easy to round
out -one of the fastest teams in the
city. The fourth club would be made
up of players from both the Cana
dians and the Macleays. Each team
now has a surplus of players and
could easily afford to release a few
men.
In the meantime the Canadians and
Macleays will play a seven-game
series, starting this afternoon. All
the contests will be played at 2:30
o'clock Sunday afternoons in the
Franklin bowl. The series will be
called the Canada-Scotland series.
The Canadian Veterans' team is com
posed entirely' of Canadians while
the Macleay Scots are all Scotchmen
and all learned the game in their
native country. A trophy inscribed
by both teams will go to the winner
of the most games out of seven.
The two clubs have been marking
time until the holidays were over bo
that the Canadians could get back
in the lineup. Wilkinson and Butler,
stars of their club, have been visit
ing their homes in Canada, but will
be in the fray this afternoon.
Wilkinson and Butler, both of
whom attend North Pacific Dental
college, will whip a team into shape
next season to play under the colors
of that institution.
Coach Wiltshire of the Oregon
Aggie soccer team has agreed to play
two games with the new combina
tion, one in Portland and one In
Corvallls. There Is a possibility that
Coach Wiltshire will send his Aggie
team against an all-star aggrega
tion of Veterans and Scots later this
season.
The Aggies have a contest coming
up January 14 against a picked team
from the Portland soccer association
and when that game Is out of the
way may tackle the Vets-Scots
picked outfit. Coach Wiltshire saw
the last Canadian-Macleay game and
' was minded to call a stroke on him
there could be no possible comeback.
When in the rough one must not
take a practice swing at the ball while
within a club's length of it. Another
flagrant Infringement on the rules of
the game is in bending and breaking
anything growing In order to get a
better swing at the ball.
Everyone knows the water hazard
rule. When the ball goes into water
it is not necessary to find it. Another
ball may be dropped with a penalty
stroke, making the player shooting
three, which means two actual shots
and a penalty stroke. The ball must
be dropped on a line between the place
where it enters and the pin. That is.
one must drop directly behind the
spot where he entered the water.
However, many golf rules a-e con
fusing, and there are occi'S'.ons when
one's judgment should be used. It ,is
the spirit of the rule that should al
ways be observed.
At many clubs there are local rules
made to fit any one particular course.
A player before starting his first
round should Inquire what these are
and then observe them carefully.
One very absurd ruling was made
at Hollywood in the women's cham
pionship. Mrs. Gavin played a' ball
from l sand trap. The ball failed to
get out and landed in another part of
the trap. 30 feet a-ay. She thought
lessly or thoughtfully. depending
on how you look at it, covered up her
tracks with her club before going over
to play again. The committee penal
ized her two strokes for this. It was
in medal play, when there had besn
no attei. pt to break a rule and she
had done only what all good golfers
should do cover up their tracks In a
trap to protect other unfortunates fol
lowing who otherwise may be found
to play out of heel hole. This thing
has come up before and golfing bodies
have decided that no penalty was in
curred. Some golf players art too liberal.
Johnnie Ball is one of these players.
He wanted Abe Mitchell to take a shot
over after the latter had hit a spec
tator and bounded into a trap. This
was in the final of the British cham
p onship a few years ago.
There was a merry mlxup 'at Brae
Burn in 1919 when Hagen and Brady
were playing off a tie for the open
championship. Hagen thoughtlessly
picked up a pasteboard match-holder
on the fairway 20 feet or so from his
ball. Outsiders saw it and immedi
ately wanted to penalize him two
strokes, although Brady never noticed
it. It was discovered that a hole fur
ther back Mike had picked up a little
stone on the fairway, but it had passed
m.crserved. As & result, no penalt.es
were exacted. No golfer would want
to win a championship on a fluke of
this kind. What either one of them
did had no bearing on the shot about
to be played.

PSYCHOLOGY IN SPORTS
MENTAL ASPECTS ATHLETICS
GETTING ATTENTION'.
Evidence Shows More Than Ono
Hoop Game Lost Because of
Colors of Uniforms.
URBANA, III., Jan. 7. The mental
aspects of athletic performance is
what the psychologist is especially in
terested in today, according to Dr. C.
It. Griffith of the psychology depart
ment of the University of Illinois.
"Psychologists have evidence to
ihow that more than one basketball
game has been lost because the colors
worn by a team were not adequately
apprehended in indirect vision," says
Dr. Griffith. "Batsmen hit or miss a
ball because they do or do not know
the conditions of space perception and
the perception of movement. .Football
teams win or lose games because their
coaches do not know emotions and the
conditions under which they arise.
"Successful achievement in athletics
demands the highest mental and
physical qualities. Up to this time,
however, the physical qualities have
received far more attention than the
mental. Now the psychologist is es
pecially Interested in the mental as
pects of athletic performance. For
him, the problems of vision, audition,
memory, association, habit, Instinct,
emotion, thought and reaction are
very important problems.
"The most important problem Is
that involved in the selection of men.
A coach in any branch of athletics
experiences nothing more dishearten
ing than to spend three-fourths of his
time upon men who could not finally
3e used. The psychologist can and
does devise tests designed to measure
the ability involved in all cases of
athletic performance.
"In football, for example, it is abso
lutely necessary for the coach to know
how long it takes his men to charge
after the ball has been enapped. In
this situation a few thousandths of a
second may make the whole differ
ence between a good and a bad lines
man. "In basketball, players must be
trained to observe objects and move
ments in indirect vision. The meth-
ds of training and of selection fall
within the interest of the psycholo
gist. Many athletic performances de
pend upon complex habit organiza
tions which are modified under the in
fluence of emotions or fatigue. The
psychologist seeks to take account of
these factors."
$700,000 IS STADIUM GUT
Anonymous Donor Gives Money to

stadium has been announced by Co
lumbia university through Dr. Nicho
las Murray Butler.
The money will bo used to close an
option sevcured on the huge Dyckman
tract, which is bounded by 210th

dead when the angry crowd went
home. But Moore's action in with

that should be satisfactory has in a
measure resurrected the sport. Noth

The Milwaukie commission has ar
ranged a match for the night of Jan

Sam Langford. Old Sam Is the dean
of all the heavyweights in the ring
today. He no longer has champion
ship aspirations or possibilities, but
no ambitious young fellow, eyeing
Jack Dempsey's crown, can feel safe
until he gets by the stumbling block
In his path that Sam presents.
Sam can take tin and bam can hit.
In Harry Wills ho will have no setup,
but neither will Wills have a setup in
Sam. In fact, Sam is the only man
in the ring today who holds the rec
ord of having knocked out Wills. He
turned that trick twice some years
ago when Wills was a young fellow
breaking in. Later, Wills returned
the compliment by knocking Sam out.
Any time Sam battles It Is an In
teresting fight for the old man al
ways has a wallop In reserve, with
steam enough behind the wallop to
knock any opponent cold if It lands
Just right.
Bill Klepper is not the only Coast
league magnate about ready to stand
pat. Jim Boldt at Seattle and Wralt
McCredie. his manager, feel the same.
Particularly with the news yester
day that Seattle has landed one of
the big-time pitchers McCredie has
been after.
Jim Shaw is the pitcher and he
comes to Seattlo through Clark Grif
fith at Washington. Shaw has been
with Washington several seasons and
is a corking right hander. He slipped
a little last season, but he is still a
young fellow and no doubt will pitch
his durndest here next season in the
hope of going up again.
With Shaw. Harry Gardner, Jacobs,
Mack, Finneran. Fisher and perhaps
Al Demaree, Seattle has the makings
of a good staff. Its weakness so far
is that it . has no left-hander. There
is Hunky Schorr, to be sure, but
Schorr's arm went back on him last

list of dependables. McCredie says
Schorr needn't worry about a Job.
anyhow, because If her can't pitch any
more he can hit so hard and Is so fast
that he will make an outfielder of
him. But Walt wants a good south
paw, and wants him badly.
With the worries of managing the
Portland club lifted off his shoulders,
big Walt has been taking on a lot of
weight this winter. So much weight.
In fact, that he made a New Year's
resolution to keep his flivver parked
in the family garage at Multnomah
station anil walk to Portland every
day. He has broken that resolution
already.
Last Sunday a certain motorist was
driving out Terwilliger boulevard for
a little spin when coming towards
him on the pavement he espied a tall
and familiar figure. "Can it he "
mused the motorist. Yes, It could be. :
It was McCredie, trudging wearily to
ward town.
The motorist continued on his spin,
went several miles, turned around and
sped back toward town. As he came
back along Terwilliger there ahead
of him. sure enough, was the Bame
familiar figure, trudging along. It
was McCredie. walking bravely but
apparently In great weariness.
"Hey!" said the motorist. "Want A
ride? I'll take you to town."
"H'm." said McCredie. "H'm. Well
now, to be frank about it, I made a
resolution to walk every day, but
doggone it, it's a mighty long walk.
Let me see, let me see yes by Jlminy,
I'll take the ride."

AFTER SCALPS
CHAMPIONS ANSWER CALL OF
COACH FOR MATERIAL.
New Men Aro Needed if Aggies Are
to Develop Title-Winning Team
This Ycur, It Is Said.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 7. (Special.)
Backed by conference victories, a
wealth of material and an efficient
coaching and training staff, the Ore
gon Aggie wrestlers are out after an
other title.
Coach Rathbun nas issued first call,
which has been responded to by Cap
tain Alonzo Patchin. 135-pound con
ference champion; Edward H. Fish,
145-pound conference champion: Smid
Buttervich, 145-pound northwestern
champion and captain of the 1919
Oregon Aggie wrestlers; Robert Ful
ton, 125-pounder who won from Logan
of Washington Slate last season, and
Robin Reed, United States 125-pound
amateur champion.
Reed will not be eligible this year
on account of the freshman ruling,
out no snouja prove valuable to de
veloping some man for the 125-pound
class. Fulton has gained considerable
weight during the summer months
and will not be able to Eret down
to the 125-pound class again. This
win leave Coach Rathbun -with no
man in the 125, 158 or 175-pound
cxass.
There is littlo doubt but what the
Oregon Aggies can carry the 135 and
145-pound classes in their meet with
Oregon, Washington and Washington
State. The other classes aro a dif
ferent matter, and unless Rathbun
can find or develop some new men
there is littlo prospects of another
championship team this year .
The first meet is scheduled with
Oregon at Lugene on February 4
followed by one with Washington at
Corvallis, February 25. The last meet
will be with Washington State at
Pullman. March 4. It Is also possible
that some arrangement can be made
for a week with Multnomah club or
some eastern college later in the
season.

CARPENTIER FIGHTS
COOK ON THURSDAY
Match of Interest to All Fans
in America.
GEORGES HELD CLEVER
IiritiMi Are Not Poins Very Much
" Ilctling but Are Praying That
Their Idol Will Win.
BY SPARROW McGANN.
(Copyrglht. 11122, by The Oregonian.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (Special.)
Kvery sporting man in the country
from the everglades to Sitka, from
Santa Monica to Coney Island, will
have his lamps trimmed for a flash
across tho old Atlantic next week.
wher3 In London on Thursday night
Ceorges Carpentier Is going to fight
his first battle since he and Jack
Iiempsey pushed their fists at euch
other in Jersey City last summer.
George Cook of Australia, a newly
risen heavyweight, will be his op
ponent. In a message received from Lon
don today, Harry Dime, the western
sporting man, said that the Urltlsli
are not betting their heads off on tho
coming battle. They want two to
ono and, even if those who fancy
Carpentier were loosening up to that
extent, there would not be a great
deal doing since even two to one
doesn't hit the Johnny Hulls as a
very attractive proposition.
Surprise 1 l'rolinlile.
It will be a good thing for Cook
If he can take it. Carpentier will
mush along, slash ing out with wallops
and getting a lot of wallops In re
turn, especially when he is fighting
in close and then when everything
is Just right bam! that is the way
he worked it with Dempsey. Tho
trouble was that Dempsey was abla
to take the kick.
To win Cook has to survive that
right of Carpentier's. He will get it
sooner or later on the button. Over
ir. Knglund they think Cai-pcntler is
much more clever than Cook, but
keen American critics hold that in
this event Cook must be a dull In
deed, because they do not regard the
light heavyweight champion of the
world as extremely scientific.
I:ncll!sh Arr PraylnK.
While the Knglish are not betting
they are praying. They would rather
see (ieorge Cook beat Carpcnt'er
than to see DeValera slip on an icy
pavement, with a coal chute Just In
front of hitu. Such a victory would
hold groat significance for tho fight
ing public, since it would mean that
probably within tho present year our
world's champion, lieinpsoy. would
enter the ring 'n another "battlo of
tho century" against tho prida of
England and affiliated colonies.
Cook has fought 16 battles In thren
years. The only opponents who would
bo known to Americans aro Jimmy
Clubby. Albert Lloyd and Fritz
Holland. Ho weighs nearly 190
pounds, is 23 years old and Mands
5 feet lO'.i inches. He Is an expert
swimmer, was a mall stage driver In
New South' Wales and as a woods
man is said to have few superiors
with the ax. Now If he could only
take that ax with him Into tho ring
Thursday night oh. what?

Oscar Hutler, Portland middle
weight who wrestles Hen Reuben,
the Chicago bone-crusher next Thurs
day night at Knights of Pythias hall,
is stepping up tlio ladder of grap
pling fame. This will bo his first
big match, though he lias met and
defeated all the wrestlers that have
ventured to meet him hereabouts,
and is now out for a crack at Walter
.Miller, tho niiddlowi Iglit champion.
If he defeats Reuben, ho no doubt
will have a chance to meet the
champion.

bout Willi Tod Tliyo last Wednesday
night but says ho will go throiiRh

give Butler quite a chance to defeat
tlio Chicago boy, whoso rigtit arm Is

Reuben seems to have no fear of
losing the match, even with his
