SECTION VOL. XLI BY L. It. GREGORY. PASADENA, Cal., March 11. (Spe cial.) It rained here today as It can rain only in sunny California a cold. drenchlnp downpour 'riven by a chill sea breeze against which a -winter overcoat was none too good protec tion, and there was no practice for the Beavers baseball crew. So the boys sat about the hotel lobby and played all over again their 7 to 5 vic tory yesterday over the Chicago Cubs. That unexpected win from the ma jor leag-uers has done a lot to get them acquainted and begin the proc ess of building up team morale. The players got a good look at each other in action and what they saw con firmed the belief they already had that Bill Kenworthy and Tom Turner! have assembled the makings of a real J ball club. I wouldn't trade my club as it stands for the Chicago Cubs, and they could throw in Alexander and Hoi locher," said Kenworthy today. "Out side of those two stars, they have Just a fair minor league club and that is all. Our team Is better balanced all around. . Good Pitchers Assured. "After seeing the boys in action the only department about which I have any doubt is the pitching. I think our pitchers will come through all right, but I can tell better about that after another couple of weeks. If they give us just an even break In pitching, our club will finish one, ' two, three, "If the pitchers don't come through as they should, then we will go out and buy others who can deliver. Three or four of our hurlers I know we can bank on. It is the staff as a whole about which I am a little un certain as yet.' What tickled the duke' most in the defeat of the Cubs was that the -Beavers accomplished it, so to speak, . with only half a regular infielder. It wasn't as if they had caught the . Cubs at a disadvantage, for the major leaguers had been training longer, their pitchers were in better shape and they had been playing nine-inning games every day for a week, whereas the Portland club hadn't even lined up in a yannigan contest. Sore Muscles Force Two Out. , Kenworthy at second and Jimmy Poole at first had been in suits only a couple of days and their muscles were so sore by the end of the fifth that they had to retire and let Ike Wolfer, an outfielder, and Sam Ross, a pitcher, take their places. Sargent at third had been working only five days and Connolly, a substitute, was playing short, yet with all that th Portland tribe outgamed the Cubs and came up from behind to win. Portland will get a kick out of the baseline coaching of Tom Turner. Not that he pulls any funny stuff. He isn't that kind of a coacher. But he is on the job every minute and the man on bases knows that when Tom tells him to go, it is. up to him to put on steam and go. And when the Beavers were in the field. Turner never let the outfielders freeze to any particular spot. He was mov ing them about for every hitter and his knowledge as to where Grimes, the Cub first baseman, hits 'em, saved the game in the eighth. In that inning Grimes came up with a man on base and two down and Charley High moved over toward Cox in right. Turner stopped the game while he shooed High over almost into left field, sent Gresset nearly to the foul line and moved Cox toward center. Homer Proves to Be Out. Sure enough. Grimes crashed a drive to deep left center. That hit had whiskers on It and it would have been a certain triple. nerhaDS a homer, had the fielders been stand ing as they were before Turner in terfered. As it was. High raced back SO feet and took the ball for an easy out. Turner's knowledge of how coast league players bat is positively sur prising. Before the game he told the Portland pitchers how to work all the Cub batters, and he had the weak ness to the dot of every former coaster In Killifer's aggregation. Freeman in particular had Arnold Statz looking foolish on a high ball Inside, and though Hack Muller busted a couple, it was because the pichers didn't have the control to put 'em where Turner said. The Beavers will have a more live- ly time of it next week, with five or six games lined up. They play the Cox-Haas team, semi-pro champions of Los Angelea, tomorrow afternoon and on Wednesday meet the ngo White Sox. Two or three other game will be pLayed with bush or college teams. Mighty few youngsters are left in the Beaver camp tonight. Ken Scott and Tuma, Portland kid pitchers, and Strong, a Californian. got their home ward papers today, but with the con eolation, that all three of them are to report to Bill Klepper's Tacoma team later. That leaves in camp only Wahl berg, a tall left-hander.from Seattle, and Connolly, infielder. who looks pretty sure to stick with the club in some capacity. Emmett McCann, shortstop; Jim Thorpe, outfielder, and Frank Bruggy. catcher, are still missing among the regulars. OAKS HAVE SXOWBAM, FIGHT Arrangements Completed for Game With All-Stars Today. MYRTLE DALE OT SPRINGS, March 11. (Special.) The Oaks had a snowball fight today, but no base tall, as the grounds were in no shape for the national pastime. In spite of conditions, Howard had his men working out on a patch of ground near the hotel. Arrangements have been completed for the game that will be played Sunday with Pop Arlett's Oakland all-stars. J. Cal Ewing put In an ap- pearanca today and had his customary hot mud bath for his general health, COLD RAIN KEEPS I A FLOCK OF BEAVERS, MOSTLY YOUNGSTERS, SNAPPED AT THEIR TRAINING GAMP AT PASADENA nrilmn IRinnnnP fpzmm$mmmsmrrzr: -s?W::rrt DLniLllU IllliuUflO 1 r4 "" Victory Over Chicago Cubs t mL, II' . t"5!?

Wabash college won the nations! in tercollegiate basketball championship here tonight by defeating Kalamazoo college in the final game of the first national tournament, 42 to 23. , Wabash led at the end of the first .period, 21 to 14. ' BASEBALL SQUAD SHAPES CALIFORNIA EXPECTS TO HAVE STRONG TEAM. Bears Open Intercollegiate Season by Defeating Santa Clara by Score of 16' to 0. UNIVERSITY OP CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, March li. (Special.) Cali fornia's baseball squad is rapidly rcunding into shape and gives prom ise of being the best team since the days of Dimmock, back in '17. To date Zamlock's men nave lost but one game, and that, to aggregation of big leaguers, playing for the Am brose Tailors. ' Wednesday the Bears opened the intercollegiate season against Santa Clara, winning, .16 to 0,' in a game marked by heavy hitting and snappy fielding on California's part. The Missionites were helpless all- the way. Zamlock started Mitchell on the mound and for five innings he al lowed but two hits and gave no walks. O'Neil relieved him and gave one hit in four innings, but was a trifle wild, passing three men. Cali fornia played errorless ball in the field and, twice successfully worked he squeeze play. The batting of the Bruins was the feature, 19 hits being registered off the Santa Clara hurler. Zamlock is pleased with the team's prospects. They have shown that they can hit and field, as well as play heady ball. The pitching staff is, stronger than in years. In addi tion to Mitchell and O'Neil, the coach has Morrow, McHenry. Morse and Lowe, all lettermen, to fall back upon when he needs pitchers. The Infield Is a veteran aggregation and the outfield, which was doubtful in re gard to hitting power, has plenty of; strength. Radebaugh is consistently pounding the ball out and is the lead- j ing slugger. Bills, a new man, and Douthit, who has returned to the team with the disbanding of the basr ketball team, are both exceptional hitters, as well as fielders, and the outfield should not lack hitting power. , Stanford appears to have & good PORTLAND, OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH fielding team, but lacks hitting power, giving California a slight edge when the two teams meet April 8 in the opening of a thr,ee-game series. California is anxiously awaiting definite word from Missouri in re gard to the invitaton for a dual track meet at Berkeley on April 15, A reply was received sometime ago, stating that the team would be glad to come, but would have to get per mission from the faculty for a post ponement of final examinations, which start April 17. California will not likely turn to any other team in case Missouri re fuses and that looks likely now. It is getting late in the season and if Simpson is going to send his team west he will have to hurry. It is unfortunate for Christie for he has a slim schedule to work on this year. Meets with Stanford and Southern California, in addition' to a meet with a combined team of southern colleges, just about take tare of the Bears' intercollegiate competition and it was hoped that Missouri would flil in upon.

Mrs. C. E. Grelle and H. M. Kcrron Win Firsts In Hunt Club Event. Bad Falls Experienced. Featured by open running that made for fast going, a number of stiff artificial jumps and one or two spec tacular falls, the open paperchase for pairs held by the Portland Hunt club yesterday afternoon at Garden Home was won by Mrs. C. E. Grelle, riding Edgewood Girl, and Harry M. Kerron on White Cloud. Harvey Dick on Chester Murphy's Rubo and Miss Norma Cominl on Dolly Varden ran second, and Walter Gearln, riding The Waif, and Miss Alice Moore on Lenore placed third. The winning was unusual in that only one of the six horses, Edgewood Girl, ha3 won ribbons during the winter sea son. The six-mile course laid by Mrs. A. M. Cronin and Mrs. James Nicol started from the entrance to the Hunt club at Garden Home and swung to the left through Morgfinson's woods, coming out at, the Garden Home trestle. A blind at the beginning en ticed half of the field, and some of the fastest horses were unable to overcome the handicap they incurred. One pair of these was Beno, Fred Martin s horse, and Bluebird,- Miss Susannah Piatt up, two hunters that were expected to win. In the meadows near the Garden Home trestle. Harvest Girl, ridden by Mrs. Fred Martin, hit some mud on the approach to a water Jump and had a bad fall. ISatt McDougall, riding with her on Daisy Deane, ran into a barbed wire fence and the horse suf fered several ugly cuts. The trail then led off toward Metzger and was broken with fre quent long blinds. These kept the field fairly well scattered and the out come was uncertain until the three winning pairs got past Nesmith Sta tion, took a series of stiff fence jumps in the Beharrell woods and got away to the finish towards the Garden Home schoolhouse with a well-estab- j lished lead. Classified Advertising and Sporting News NO. 11 FREE TRY FOR GOAL Play From Line of.Scrimmage Is Substituted. RULES ARE CHANGED Regulations Regarding Shift Play Clarified as Are Clipping From Rear and Substitutions. J NEW YORK, March 1 1. Abolition of the free trial for goal after touch down, substitution therefor of a plsr from line of scrimmage on or back of the five-yard line of a defending eleven and clarifying changes In the rules regarding ehlft plays, clipping from behind and substitutions were announced today by the lntrcoll(rl ate association of amateur athletes of America. The action of the committee in abolishing the trial for goal aftr touchdown, the most radical Bt'O taken since the Introduction of the forward pass In 1906, had been rec. ommended y the Ansoclatlon of American Football Coaohes, following its meeting here last December. ReTlnlon Is Demanded. The revision had been demanded by5 a majority of football experts for years, and since the abolition twn years ago of thi punt out, many of the leading coaches took up the cam palgn for abandonment of the play, declaring It useless as It stool an harmful to the game. It maaunder- etood that W. W. Roper, 1'rlncetos coach, suggested the play for the point from a line of scrimmage. In regard to the change in the shift ruling, the opinion of some foot, ball men was that it would tend to) put a damper on the playing style of some of ordinary kick after a touch' down would afford a more atlfe. tory way of deciding which was the better team, than would the kick, the success of which rests on one man. Ploying Held Effective. In regard to the change In the shift ruling, the opinion of some foot. ball men was that it would tend 10 put a damper on the playing style of some of the leading western college elevens, especially that of Notre Dame, whose weird shifts have puz. zled opposing teams for several years. The initial kickoff regulation was altered so that if the side winning the toss selects the goal, the other team has the choice of either kicking or receiving. Heretofore, when one cap tain elected to defend a goal the other side was obliged to kick off. The darkness provision was altered to allow the referee, with the con sent of both captains, to decide be tween halves to shorten the fourth period or both periods in the second half. Heretofore a shortening of the time previously agreed upon could be made only before the game began. Rules governing substitutions were changed so that a player cannot re turn to the field in the same half in which he is removed. It Is not neces sary that he should return at the beginning of a period. Regulatloa la Re-written. The "one man In motion" regula tion was re-written so that any player leaving the scrimmage line before play begins must be at least five yards behind the line when the ball is snapped. Among the rulings approved by the committee wad one that officials should whistle as soon a convinced the ball had crossed the goal, or in the case of forward passes, when the pass is completed behind the Una. The committee decided to have In terpretations of rules made by the general Interpretations committee printed September 1 each year and that thereafter Interpretations for officials would be made only by re quest, their formal approval or rejec tion to be made later at the annual meeting of the rules committee. No action was taken on the pro posal to make the numbering of play ers mandatory. The personnel of the rules commit tee was not changed. E. K. Hall was re-elected chairman and Waltef Camp, secretary and rules editor. Chango Wins Approval. 1 SAN FRANCISCO, March 11. Ap prorat of the change In football rul'S was voiced here today by H. If. ("Hub") Huebal, San Francisco, ex. University of Michigan star, who la row president of the Taclflc Coast Football association. Andy Smith, University -of California coach, who I representing the Paclflo coast at the New York rules committee meeting, was Instructed by the association be fore he left for the east last week to vote for such a change, Huebel said. 'The Pacific Coast association fa vored putting the ball in play on the ten-yard line instead of the five-yard line." Huebel said. "I believe now. however, that the five-yard rule Is better, for If the offensive team de sires to try for a goal kick, the kicker will be on about the same line he was under the old rule. The new rule means that the entire team will be able to get into the play after the touchdown. This is desirable, for It is team work that we aim to cultivate in football. Under the old rule, only cne player, the kicker, was la the play." Change Held of No Benefit. ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 11 Coach Fielding H. Yost of the Uni versity of Michigan, one of the most widely known leaders in the gridiron sport, today declared his opinion that the change In football rules eliminat ing the free trial for goal after a touchdown "would be of no benefit to the game." "It will have a tendency to make victories hang upon a single point. There will be more one-point victories and fewer ties and the ele ment of chance will enter largely ln'. close contests." he said. Centre Official Praises Change. Tin ANGELES. Cal.. March 11.. Claude "Tiny" Thornhlll, ex-assLstant una roach of Centre collea-e. and at present assistant coach of Stanford university, commented favorably upon the change in football rules eliminat ing the free trial for a goal after & touchdown. "It will make a very good rule," he said. "The free kick AiAn't mean anvthins in rjlav. and Ira itinllRhmsnt will. lmDrovi the same and make It a more aqua.1 contest of strength of team."
