STANFORD UNIVERSITY. C a 1.,
Aug. 12. For the first time in sev
eral years the annual football game
between Stanford and California this
season is expected to be on terms
somewhat even, according to Cardi
nal authorities who have watched
the local eleven go down to defeat
every year since the . rugby game
was dropped.
Stanford's football machine Is be
ing strengthened and. to add to the
optimism here, the California eleven,
undefeated for two years, is losing a
veteran line, from tackle to tackle.
The star California ends, Mul'er and
Herkey, will be back, however, as
will the Bruin barkfteld.
A new head coach. Andy Kerr, and
sn advisory coach. Glenn "Warner,
the old master of nttsburg univer
sity, are handling the football work
at Stanford this year and are ex
pected to whip out the best team the
Cardinals have had in several sea
sons. Twelve veterans of the 1921 eleven
are coming back but most of them
will have to fight for their posifons,
for there is a number of strong play
ers who were on last year's fresh
man team eligible for the varsity
this season.
Dud De Groot will captain the
team from the center position.
Other veterans returning are Art
Wilcox. Faville, Doughty. Campbell,

will help. Last year Hartranft
worked for a time at guard. - If
Hartranft can be taught to throw a
football with the same ease he
throws a discus, he win be a star at

N'EW TORK. Aug. II A change
In Columbia's football plans for next
fall was announced recently by Rob
ert W. Watt, graduate manager of
athletics. Because of the univer
sity's recent purchase of Baker
field, no attempt will be made to es
tablish a gridiron camp outside the
city tn early September, but the
workouts will be held instead on the
site of the new Columbia stadium.
Columbia last year sent its foot
bail squad to Camp Vail, near Little
Silver. N. J., for two weeks of prac
tice, beginning about September 11
and continuing until the start of the
school tern tn the latter part of the
month. Coach Frank J. O'Nell had
about 49 varsity candidates In camp,
and this phase of the campaign was
considered a distinct success.

and considered they had made

could not afford to pay the salary

proving, they said, that Rickey and
his theories never would succeed
In the major leagues.
His spring training plans and h's
rules for his players were criticised.
Long morning and afternoon drills
v ere held ror the players. duo
rouse meetings with the technique
of baseball drilled Into the heads of
the athletes were dallly routine. i
arettea were taboo. The clock was
set at 11 p. m. for retiring, and
Rickey kept tab on everything.
On the bench Rickey had a system
of his own. A score card showing
the style of balls hit and missed
by opposing players and hla own
was recorded daily. These inci
dents formed part of the clubhouse
discussion.
Players Cet Hla Idea.
Gradually the players caught the
idea. They realized that he was the
boss and that his policy would pre
vail..- They were playing for him
and not for themselves. They did
smoke, but not when Rickey was
around. They puff cigarettes to
day, but not at such close range
as to blow the smoke in Klckey s
face.
Pitchers discovered that after all
It wasn't a bad system to know
what batters specialized on. Bat
ters, too. found that it might be
a good idea to let the slow curve
go by when that was their weak
ness. It required time, several years,
in fact, but today the organisation,
built with Rickey's own hands, may
get the first pennant for St. Louis
since ltSS.
Around Rogers Hornsby centered
Rickey's scheme to rebuild the Car
dinals. One glance at Hornsby con
vinced Rickey that he had the star
of stars and that no offer would
tempt htm to part with this athlete.
He was pressed with an offer a
bid of $250,000 in cash In July. 192a.
from the New York Giants.
This ISaO.OOO cash offer is bona
fide and the communication between
the two clubs Is on file in Rickey's
private safe.
Jealousy, known in the ranks of
professionals, also found Its way
Into the ranks of the Cardinals.
There were players two years ago,
but not on the club today, who ad
vised Rickey to'part with Hornsby,
to sell him or trade him. To them
he was not the headliner public and
press acclaimed him to be.
J Rickey knew otherwise. But for
two years ne naa me aouDie tasK
of retaining both Hornsby and re
taining harmony on his club.
And today Hornsby, mighty as he
ia. accepts the flash from Rickey
on the bench .to hit this or that ball,
to steal or to wait, with the same
Judgment as a new recruit.
Back of It all, however, Rickey
developed the Cardinals into a pen
nant combination because he even
tually won the complete co-operation
of his players. Although he Is
not with the club on Sunday, not
once has a player complained that
he is entitled to a Sunday vacation
because the boss is not there. j
.7M Average Snaday Record.
Quite the contrary, for the players
seem to put more energy Into their
play in Sunday games to save the
reputation of their manager. For
the club to lose more atames than
It wins on Sunday no doubt would
shatter the value of Rickey as a
manager. The records prove, how
ever, that in four years the Cardi
nals have an average close to .700
for their Sunday games.
Hying rumors around the Na
tional league circuit up to a year
ago had It that players on other
clubs frequently had blocked trades
because they objected to Rickey's
managerial methods. One star
pitcher is reported to have held up
big deal by his refusal to Join
the Cardinals. Yet it is known that
this same pitcher later prevailed on
players in close touch with Rickey
to open negotiations for a trade.
Rickey may be eccentric In his
views, may have peculiar theories,
but after all is said and done the
answer is found in the Cardinals'
position in the pennant race.
"You lose your wind by smok
ng cigarettes. You lose your bat
ting swing and your control by
loss of sleep."
His career as a big-league man
ager has taught him one thing how
to cuss. Until he sat on the bench
with the Cardinals the limit of his
profane vocabulary was: "Judas
Priest." With that expression he
delved Into profanity. But now he

TITLE BATTLE IS GOAL
Bluch Preparation Being Done in
.Anticipation of Final Go for
Honors With Harry Greb.
BY SPARROW McGANN.
(Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) '
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. (Special.)
After the battle between Tommy
Loughran. the Philly Apollo, and
Gene Tunney, the dethroned king
of the light-heavies, on August 24,
ft is cards that there will be some
doings In what the British call the
cruiser-weight division. The inside
dope is that the winner, of that
contest will exchange blows with
Tommy Gibbons and that. In turn,
the winner will mix it up with
Harry Greb for the championship
title.
The writer had a word from
Tommy the other day. He is filled
with but one ambition, and that is
to show the world that Greb Is not
his master. To this end he has been
preparing himself carefully, taking
on a few second-rate opponents and
knocking them endwise, and above
all paying careful attention to his
condition. Tom was over-confident
when he met Greb and was. not in
the best condition, either; -
Time Thought at Hand.
There are many who will wish
him well in his ambitions, for
Tommy is a likable mauler. He
realizes that the time has come for
him to put In his best licks because
age waits for no man and Thomas
now acknowledges 33 years of ex
istence in this vale of punch and Jab.
The writer first recalls Gibbons
back in 1913 when, as a novice with
nothing but a wallop to aid him, he
stowed away Tommy Bergen, Joe
Borrell, Young Mike Donovan.
Johnny Shaw and Jack Denning, the
dark-faced, eagle-eyed mixer who
now spends his days handling
younger fighters. - The next year
he did a big thing, although east
erners did not realize it at the time.
He beat Billy Mlske in eight rounds.
What did attract attention.
though, was his victory over the
highly touted Buck Crouse la four
rounds that, year. In 1915 Gibbons
gained a lot of prestige, although
fighting only three battles. He
handed a lacing to Billy Murray,
the west coast favorite,, beat Miske
again and won easily over Harry
Greb.
Mlske Again Beaten.
: In lj17 he won some fine victories
over such men as George Chip, Bob
.Moha and Battling Levinsky. After
that he defeated Larry Williams,
Harry Greb, Bab Foster and Miske
again. His course would have been
altogether triumphant had it not
been for a rainy day in Pittsburg
when again meeting Greb, the
Pittsburger plastered- Tommy good
and proper.
But It was not until last ' year
that Gibbons became a pugilistic
sensation. He had taken on weight
so fast that middle weigh ts were too
pma.ll. : go he entered the heavy
weight division. Tony Melcher and
Al Reich were, easy for him and
then he' came on to New -York and
put Paul Sampson away in so
workmanlike style that the critics.
at.-ence touted him as the -most
promising contender for Dempsey's
crown. . Thereafter pugilists, fell
before his fadeaway like wheat
under the reaper. Those who en-
Joyed- pleasant dreams as a result
of contact with his fist were Larry
Williams, Porky Flynn, Jack Heenan,
Ray Smith. Jack Clifford. Willie
Meehan, William Keeler. Dan
O'Dowd. Billie Reeves, Fred Aller
and a number of other heavies.
Tommy was on the highest crest
when he went against Bartley
Madden and failed to put him away,
although .he beat him up .viciously.
Whether this failure to send Bartley
to dreamland affected Tommy's
nerve, or whether, as suggested in
the foregoing, he held Greb too
cheaply, the fact remains that he
was beaten by the Pittsburger and
since then he has been treading
those outer regions of darkness
wherein abide those who have
failed.

Outrigger Canoe Club Seeks Com
petition to Develop Young
Women of Hawaii.
BY MIKE JAY.
HONOLULU, 1 T. H-, Aug. 1. (By
Mail.) From 10 to 20 of the fastest
mermaids in the world will be in
vited to an outdoor swimming meet
here In the near future to compete
for world honors. Plans for this
international swimming meet were
announced at the recent annual
meeting of the Outrigger Canoe
club. '
Hawaii may have fallen back In
swimming due to- the fact that its
greatest .champion, Duke P. Kahana
moku, has retired, but the island
mermaids are offsetting that by
coming to the front a' makers of
world records. .
- So to develop and give the half
score Hawaiian' girl wonders a
chance for 'real competition, the big
mermaid meet, with stars to be in
vited from every country, is to be
arranged. The Outrigger Canoe
club is reaching to New Zealand,
South Africa.' mainland United
States. Panama Canal Zone. Eng
land, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. - ' -
Samoan Girl Speedy.
The two mermaids desired above
all others are Paula Hoeft and
Gurtha Shand of T'ew Zealand.
These stars are unknown in the
United States, but in. the Antipodes
they have eclipsed even Fanny
Durack and Mina ' Wylie. Miss
Hoeft is a Samoan by birth and
swims a Samoan stroke, which is a
cross between the Hawaiian and
Australian crawl strokes. She has
done the 60 yards In 0:28.3, which
is a world mark. She has . been
caught in 0:28- flat for the 50 yards
in practice.
The other girl is a middle dis
tance swimmer. She holds the
world record for 440 yards and has
done it a full second and two-fifths
faster than Efhelda Bleibtrey of
New York. She is of English stock.
with a.-strain of Maori. Both girls
are husky, heavy and strong.
Anette Keller man. the famous
diver nd moving picture actress,
has taken an Interest in both girls
and is teaching them fancy diyin.
They will swim in the Australian
championship this coming spring
(Australian spring commences in
September)..
American Lassies Wanted.
Besides these two Australian
girls, the Outrigger Canoe club
hopes to have Helen Wainwright of
the Women's Swimming Association
of New York and the back-stroke
wonder, Sybil Bauer of the Illinois
Athletic Club of Chicago. Helen
Wainwrlght is joint holder of the
0:28.3 record for 50 yards .opep, and
recently did the 220 in 2:41.2, world
record time, snatching it l"rom
Mariechen Wehselau of Honolulu,
who had done 2:62.4.
Hawaii will pit against these four
women its collection, headed by
Mariechen Wehselau, who is IS
years old, and Joint holder of the
0:28.3 world secord for 50 yards.
The three girls with this record are
thousands of miles apart, but will
be brought here to swim it out and
decide which is the best for the
distance.
Next is Lillie Bowmer. Then
there are Helen Moses, who went
from the Outrigger Oanoe club to
the Olympic games; Estelle Cassidy.
Eleanor Bickerton. Christine Smooth,
Ruth Scudder. Leilehua Judd. Con
nie Davis, Dolly Mooney and others
who are coming up rapidly and

the National Rifle association that
OM'ing to the curtailment of the ap
propriation by congress there will
be no funds available to defray the
expenses, of civilian rifle teams to
the national matches at Camp Perry.
O., in September. This is keenly
regretted by the association.
But this should make no differ
ence to the dyed-in-the-wool rifle
man. Every man who shoots a rifle
can still go to Camp Perry and en
joy his favorite sport during the
month of September with no cost
other than his railroad fare and his
meals while in camp, and these cost
him $1.50 a day. Everything- else
is found. Tents, blankets, bedding,
guns and ammunition are all fur

The railroads have announced spe
cial rates to the tournament.
Here's One for Anglers to Match.
The golf term "birdie" was proved
accurate the other day at Brock

the rough, and a crow, feeding
there, picked up the ball, flew to
the proper green and dropped .the
ball on it so that the player holed
out in the next stroke.

When Sandy, the official photographer of the "Oregon 1925 Fair"
Caravan, chose the Marmon to pilot him over the state, he had in
mind: High Speed Operation, Rigidity, Readability, Ease of Riding,
and Dependability. '
HIGH SPEED, because it must of necessity be the fastest car in
the Caravan ; traveling at tremendous speed in advance of the
others, in order to photograph the caravan cars as they enter the
different towns. .
RIGIDITY, because of minimum vibration of the Marjnon at, high speed, and because of
the Dtaunch construction of the Marmon chassis, construction far superior to other cars.
ROADABILITY, because every kind of road known must be traveled, and the perfect
balance of the Marmon makes it the most practical car. Then, too, readability is one of
a car's greatest virtues because upon it depends, finally: safety, comfort and competence.
EASE OF RIDING, because much of his photographing will be taken from the car and
in the Marmon three chief reasons for its ease of riding are due to the perfect balance,
rear spring construction and small amount of unsprung weight.
DEPENDABILITY, because of the all around superiority of the Marmon car in motor
and chassis over all other cars! ,
And, when Sandy finally chose the Marmon after being
offered many other makes he no doubt remembered
what Tommy Milton, (world-famous speed king) said,
about his "foremost fine car": .
"The 1920 Model 34 Marmon which I am now driving
is the fourteenth car which I have owned and driven
and its the first car which I have ever driven over .
8000 miles. To date I have driven my Marmon nearly
25,000 miles. This includes two trans-continental trips,
which were most enjoyable, and many shorter trips from one race meet to another
when it served as a truck for extra equipment and also as a tow car. I consider the
work imposed on this car unusually severe and the results obtained have been most
satisfactory. The car runs fully as well today as when new and with no evidence of
fatigue. . I have no means of judging what the useful life of the car will be."
