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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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'.
