STIFF PUNCH CARRIED Boxer Also Is Touted as General of Ring and Gamester. Card Is "Completed. Barney Adair, New York light r eight, makes his Portland debut Wednesday night against Bobby Harper In the final contest on the Portland boxing commission' card fit the armory. Adair has had but two fights in the west since his ar rival a six-round draw with Travie Davis at Seattle and the other when he dropped a four-round decision to Jimmy Duffy in Oakland last week. The fact that Adair stood off Davis to a draw in Seattle indicates that the Gotham harp must have some thing besides a pair of green tights. As for the decision he dropped to Duffy last Tuesday, it is practically certain that Duffy is liable to take . the best of them into camp over the four-round route. Adair, who has fought the best at his weight in the eastern, rings, is touted as" a stiff puncher, a ring general and a gamester. If he can get over Seattle Robert next Wednes day night he will not want for matches. Any boxer who can "take Harper has got to have the goods. Jt is something that has been done but twice in the Seattle boy's boxing career. Moose Taussig i looking after Adair. Taussig is a San Kram-isco veteran of the boxing promoting game and has brought several, good boys to Portland before. Charley Jost, manager of Harper, says his boxer is in great shape as a result of a couple of weeks' rest. Bobby's last bout was in Seattle when he decisioned Jack Josephs in six rounds. Since then he ha been taking things easy getting in Bhape for the card here Harper has an offer to try the California climate for a change and it may be that this will be his last appearance here for some tune. Matchmaker Harry Hansen com pleted the bill yesterday for the Wednesday hit-fest. Kddte Rich ards, who stopped Jack Dillon in two rounds on the last card here, will attempt to repeat against Jack Davis, brother of Travie Davis, Davi.H was going good here last win ter until he ran into Battling Ortega and then dropped out of sight. Davis also carries a K. O. wallop. Joe Hoff and Jack Dal ton, who started in what promised to be a rattling six-round fight at Milwau kle last week, but which was stopped in the third round and awarded to Dalton on a foul, will cross leather again in the six-round special event on the Portland card. Neil Zimmerman, who is trying a comeback, will box Chick Kocco in one of the four-round bouts. Frankie Britt, Boston lightweight. Is headed for the Pacific coast, fol lowing the trails marked by Jimmy Sac co, John n y Cli nton. Jack Jo sephs, Barney Adair and other east ern mitt wielders who are now box ing in this section of the country. Britt, who is but 27 years of age, has been fighting nine years and has had more than 150 bouts in that time, meeting the best boys in the world at his weift ht. He fought Benny Leonard for the title in 1920 and was knocked out by the cham pion in five rounds after a great battle in which he dropped Leonard for the count. Fred Winsor, who started Jack Dempsey on the road to the cham pionship and who is managing Britt, is hot on the trail of Joe Benjamin and is willing to post a forfeit of $2500 to bind a match at the light weight limit of 135 at 2 o'clock on the day of the match. He declares he alo is willing to have Britt meet Benjamin on winner-and-loser basis. Mm N Sli.VSOS OPESED JCAKLIJER TI1AV USUAL. 1'red Archer Survives 20 Rounds With Colin McLachlan and Wins Verdict on Points. IONDON, Sept. 30. The London boxing season has opened early this j'Mir. At the ring recently Fred Archer survived 20 rounds of an en counter with Colin McLachlan of America, and won the verdict on points. McLachlan brought with him a formidable record of reported knock outs. British boxers were duly im pressed, but Fred Archer, a Lon doner, took on the newcomer and boxed a draw with him. McLachlan was wroth at the verdict and de manded another bout. The second content between them took place at the1 "KinB." McLachlan."say the Daily News, describing the'fijrht, "is a rugged, strong fighter with no defense. He can ht, hut he has not yet learned the proper way. Archer, a better box-r, scored dozens of lefte. and al most closed his rival's left eye. The loser won no more than three of the rounds, and the best that may be sard of him is that he is game to the core. Th majority of mon would have been disheartened at such per sistent assault and battery as his face endured." Koland Todd of Doncaster fought Frankie Burns, the AustraJi.n mid dleweight, at Liverpool and won in the 12th round. In the third round Burns was knocked down twice, and again in the nnth round. After he lvad been badly punished his seconds threw in the towel. VARSITY TRACKERS TO TRAIN Workoflt at Oregon Will Begin Following Registration. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Ku gene. Sept. 30. (Special.) Varsity track workouts will begin as soon as registration is completed next week, Bill Hay ward, track coach, has announced. Hayward is opti mistic at ,he prospects for a win ning track team, ith most of last year's performers to be on deck next spring and some excellent new material coming up.

KL TEAM CRIPPLED MIXOK 1XJVKIES RIP HOLES TV FOOTBALL IjINEI'P. Several Men Put t'pon Shelf as Result of Serimmages and Squad Is "Shot" Badly. UNIVERSITY OF TDAHO. Moscow, Sept. 3 0. (Special.) Mlnornjuries ripped holes in the Vandal squad this week. Several men went on the stu-lf w ith twisted knees and knotted muscles but the situation became worse as scrimmage practice con tinued. These injured players Coach Mathews must have in shape before the openiner same next week. Frank Kiryiison, who played well for the freshmen two years ago but couldn't play varsity ball last fall because of a broken lesf. is aarain out with an injured shoulder. Kinnison is trying for a backfield position and his chances are fairly crood. Morris Cline, who is contesting" with Abe Uoff for center, is out with a twisted knee. Charley Hausen, another backfield man, is holding- back from practice with a sprained hip and Bob Fitzke has developed a charley horse .knotted muscle In his kicking leg-. Otz Neuman, punter on last year's freshman eleven, has bofii relieving- Fitzke in the practice. Daie Vons, tackie, is also out of practice. One of the important shifts which Mathews probably will make is the return of Captain Babe Brown to tackle when he played as a fresh man. Brown was rated as about the hardest hitting1 tackle on the Vandal field that year but during the last two seasons he has worked at end and fullback. These injuries make Mathews' job of putting on the finishing touches before the Whitman game next week extremely difficult. Coach Mathews has eased up on secret practice and lets the fans look over the varsity about twice a w-eek. He evidently believes the rough spotd have been toned down and that the squad is in more presentable form than in the first few days when he turned away the crowds which sought a glimpse at the Van dal hopes. Idaho will place an unusually strong freshman team in the field this fall and with this assured some strong games are lined up for the Vandal yearlings. Albert Knudson. graduate manager, has written to smaller colleges in the northwest and to freshman managers at the other conference schools to line up a healthy schedule. Windy City Leads In Muny Links. Chicago can justly boast of lead ing the country in public golf courses, but, regardless of the pub lic courses already formed arid that great tract of 2S.000 acres controlled by the forest preserve, on which more courses undoubtedly will be built, there is a steadily increasing demand for more playing space. Frequent inquiries are received as to where a game can be had with out the long waits common on all the public courses. Then again there is a big demand for clubs which can be joined for reasonable fees. Un fortunately this class is in the mi nority, but in spite of existing con gestion, Chicago seems to be better off than any city in thp country. BAS'K is out for season Injury to Michigan Quarterback Blow to Cwrid Team. - ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 30. Theodore Bank, of Cleveland, quar terback of the Universi of Michi gan 1920 football team, probably will be out of the game for the en tire season, it has been annonced. An X-ray" of his leg, injured in practice, revealed a bone .had been fractured. Injuries kept Bank out of the line-up. during most of 192L The injury is a blow to Michigan, although Uterits, last year's quar terback, and several other aspirants to the position are available. 195-POUND END HEniRNS 11 A K OLD BLACRMAX BIG AS SET TO WHITMAN. Line Plunging of Colored Full buck Feature of Week's i Scrimmage. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. 30. (Special.) Harold Blackman, 195-pound end and guard on last year's Whitman team, returned to college today and re ported, to Coach Borleske for a foot ball suit. Consequently Missionary football stock has risen considerably, for this husky It neman will bolster the Whitman forward defence, which has not been any too strong in the early, workouts. Blackman was married this sum mer, so was not expected to return, but now that he is back he gives the team another strong lineman. He is also an exceptional punter. The line-plunging of Claude Nor ris, the colored fullback, has been a feature of scrimmage 'work this week. Northwest conference elevens are due to run into a hard job when they try to stop this line plunger. Coach Borleske has broken up his freshman squad now that it seems assured that freshmen can play on the varsity. Definite announcement whether the men's enrollment ex ceeds the 200 mark will be made Monday. A number of first-class substitutes are among the first-year men. Idaho will open the season here Saturday. Last Thanksgiving day Whitman trimmed Idaho 13 to 3 by scoring two touchdowns in the last three minutes of play. Astoria Angora Club on Hike. ASTORIA."

IS HE ANOTHER SETUP, OR THE REAL THING? v ... ..- v V.- U BETTER FOOTBALL SURE OUTLOOK ON PACIFIC COAST IS BEST EVER, Idaho and Southern California to Play In Conference for First Time This Year. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. Bet ter football than ever will be played on the Pacific coast this fall, ac cording to gridiron chiefs and ob servers. AH agree Uiat the season promises to be the greatest in the athletic history of the far west. Two teams, the University of Ida ho and the University of Southern California, will play in the Pacific coast conference for the first time this season, they having been added to the circuit last winter. The other six conference schools are the Uni versity of Washington, University of California, Stanford university University of Oregon, Washington State college and the Oregon Agri cultural college. Most of the conference teams this year are "pointed" for Cali fornia. California has gone unde feated for two seasons, but5 this year loses its veteran line from tackle to tackle and one star half back. Andy Smith, the Hear coach, however, is confident that he will have a powerful eleven. "Brick" Muller, atl-Amerlcan end last year is one of the stars who will be back. v The other teams are being strengthened. Stanford has intro duced t,he Glenn Warner coaching "system," with Andy Kerr, a War ner student, doing the coaching and promising a strong fighting eleven. Washington, with new material and better coaching, hopes to regain the place it held in the football sun when Gilmour Dobie piloted the team through a victorious decade. Oregon thinks it will have the greatest team since it defeated Pennsylvania and lost to Harvard by a lone point several years ago. Washington State has 11 veterans back. The Oregon Aggies and Uni versity of Southern California have as yet made no claims, while Idaho, the stranger, looks like a dark horse. Outside of the conference "some hard battles are anticipated. One will be played Thanksgiving day be tween St. Mary's college and.Santa Clara university, two ancient Cal ifornia foes, who broke apart ten years ago and who were brought to gether again only this season. Com petition will be keen in the South ern California conference and the Northwest conference. AGGIE FIRST SQUAD WINS FRESHMEN HOLD TEAM DOWJf TO THREE TOCCHDOWXS.

Four Veteran Men on Varsity Eleven Make Good Showing, Though Game lp Slow. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) The Aggie first squad was held to three touchdowns by" the freshmen eleven in the flrsf regular four-period game this morning. The playing was slow and lacked pep. which in a way may have been due to the great number of substitutions made by Coach Rutherford. Dick Garber. the shifty quarter. scored two touchdowns for the var-v sity. ana Hugrnie ilcKenna made the third. The first team was not suc cessful in forward pass attempts, as 'the freshmen intercepted two an, broke up all the other tries but' one. Tho four veteran men bn the eleven sh,owed better than the new material. Percy Locey, captain and tackle, was instrumental in break ing up several rook plays. Murius McFadden looked better than ever at end and so did Millard Scott on the opposite end of the line. Luke Gil! and Everett Miller at halves did well both on the offense and de fense. Juddy Ash, the husky Aggie line man, was taken out of the game early in the second quarter with an injured shoulder. Following is the varsity lineup st the start of .the game: Scott and McKadden. ends; Clark and Locey. tackles; Mlckel wait and Ash. guards; Rich, center: Gill and Miiler. halves; Tousey, full, and Garber, quarter. PENDLETON GETS GRID GAME Oregon and Whitman Will Play for Fans Accommodation. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Eu gene, Sept. 30. (Special.) The Uni versity of Oregon-Whitman college game scheduled for Friday. October 20, will be played in Pendleton so eastern Oregon fans may see their team in action.

Next Saturday the Willamette university, eleven plays here and a week later Ted Faulk's Multnomah clubmen will journey down from Portland to battle the varsity. The homecoming game will wind np the local grid season with Wash ington State as the opposition. CARDINAL ELM LIS UP STRONG Thornhil! and Kerr Apply Warner Coaching Rules. s NEW SYSTEM THOROUGH Men In Practice Enthusiastic and Indications All Point to Su perior Grid Team. . ; back-field around one solitary star, is no pleasant situation for any coaching staff, .but Penn State has faith in Hugo Besdek's ability to overcome even that handicap. In the two games played to date, against St. Bonaventure and William and Mary college, lack of experience in the backfield has been apparent. The big question is whether the coaches can polish up this raw ma terial in time for the first big game, with Syracuse on the New York Polo grounds, October 2S. Those who know Hugo Besdek believe he is equal to -the task. There is no question about th strength of tke blue and white line. Even the new men have demon strated their strength. The. Penn State line should outplay any other line it wfll meet this season if it plays the kind of football that it knows how to play. It is up to Besdek and his assistant. Bill Mar tin, to see that those forwards do play the game of which they are capable. IS REVERT TO FOUR BALL GAME Revival of Ancient Style Js Regarded as Near. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Gal., Sept. 30. (Special.) Prospects for present and future championship grid teams appear x lifiirhtar rtrt tha Htan firrt PH Ml D 11 S 1 than for many years. With a record' turnout for early practice and. two of the country's best pigskin men tors. Tiny Thornhill and Andy Kerr, on the job. Cardinal hopes beam. A line averaging" slightly more than Mi5 pounds of experienced material advances the best argnment for this reason's strength. The back field, with Ray Doughty, Art Wilcox. Cuddeback, Campbell and Woodward leading for positions, is lighter than tne line though visibly as formid able. With two weeks of practice stowed away, Andy Kerr, head t'-ach, has instructed the husky can d. dates (n all the rudiments of the game. He has installed his system, which is the same as the Warner system, used so well at Pittsburg y Kerr and "Pop" Warner. Critics cays it Will produce results. Tbe flayers believe in it, heart and soul, arid never hesitate to give alt they possess in each scrimmage and workout. Coach Has Kaltk In Mn. Even Kerr has unshaken confi dence in his proteges, in their zest 10 learn and their courage in dis guising injuries to remain on the field. He said: .'It has been necessary to start from the ground to install the rudi ments of the game. The men are eager. They are learning fast, often refusing to admit an injury for fear they'll miss out somewhere. The spirit is splendid among the men. Prospects seem good, but too much should not be expected of a team operating under a thoroughly re vied method of coaching. We will have a very formidable machine this year and hope for results." Every man out for the team says Kerr s methods are the best ever, The men are more enthusiastic than kids at a picnic Rarely ev'er has a coach had more eager men to work through the strenuous routine of football training. Hardships and injuries are endured with a smile as the men scan the difficult sched ule laid before them. Hard Work threat Asset. Kerr believss that hard work is the greatest asset. From the min ute the squad form at 4 o'clock until dusk, each player is going full speed. It's hard at first, but they soon become equal to it. TheJ men uccunie inure men, ubeu iu a strenuous action and moulded into fine conditioned material. All the while, they are absorbing real foot ball. Kerr believes that no detail Is too small to be watched in his pre-season work. He is on the job like a trooper every second of tbe day. A player's mistakes are noted, his attention called to them and he is then shown the correct play. Kerr has a remarkable faculty of discerning errors and their rem edies. He strikes right home in a few words that mean business and there is no hesitancy in his makeup. Plainly, Kerr is a man of action and a field general of high caliber. He has finished the basic routine of building a team and now has turned his attention to developing formations that will sustain the Cards through tbe season. Men Are Learning Game. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and the men are learning football as played by one of the greatest teams in the east under the same Kerr. His main interest is in developing the backfield. On the line, Tiny Thornhill, ex coach of Center college eleven, is working wonders. His record, as one of the best line coaches in the game, is at stake. He is making good. Thornhill has the sole bur den of coaching the linemen, while Kerr devotes his entire time to the backfield. Though no definite team has been selected the players now on the first string are Janseo, Dole and Law son, ends; Johnston, Shipke and Ludeke, tackles; Fullerton and Dick Flaville of Portland; De Groot, captain and center; Campbell, quar terback; Cuddebach, full, and Wilcox, ex-captain, Murray and Doughty, halfbacks. The second team men right in line for promo tion are: Mertz, Loomis , Sproul, Pheney, Cravens, Mike Reed, a Port land boy; Doughty, Cleveland and Roberts. Nine lettermen have so far reported. Those who have not returned are the 1921 varsity cap tain, Patrick: R. Slaudenman, Pershing, Douglass, Carter and Red Bets. Olrmpica Formidable Team. With the first 'game of the sea son against the Olympic club of San Francisco next Saturday, Kerr faces one of the best teams eVer assembled on the coast. The Olym pics, undr "Bob" Evans, have a collection of college stars and ex perienced players hard to equal. It will be a severe test for the Cards to open fire against. They're hop ing to stem the clubmen if it takes every ounce of brawn. When the Cardinal team, under Kerr, faces the Pittsburg eleven, under Coach Glenn Warner, Satur day, December 30, in the Stanford stadium, it will be a test of War ner's system against itself. Both coaches hail from the same fold. Warner was chief and Kerr assist ant coach of the Panther grid war riors. Kerr's ambition is to build a machine stronger ia every way than the eastern Invaders. The out come will be viewed with keen interest by the country's football critics. The east-west clash is a result of an agreement reached by the graduated managers of Pitts burg and Stanford on Saturday. Stanford will use the proceeds of the game to provide a dormitory, while the Panthers plan an alumni club. PURDt'E CAPTAIN FIGHTER "Eckle'' MurpJiy Good In Any Position on Gridiron Field. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Sept. 30. E. E. "Eckie" Murphy, who will captain the football team of Purdue univer sity this year, is a fighter. Murphy lg considered the most versatile football player Purdue bas produced in many years. He can hardly be said to have been awarded any one position on the varsity elevens of which' he has. been a member, but has been used where he was most needed. Last season he played every backfield position at one time and another. Coach Phelan, it is said, expects to use him in the same capacity this fall. The boiler maker-captain came to Purdue in 1918 after having played for three years on the Hyde Park high school aggregation of Chicago. He was a quarter on the S. A. T. C. eleven that year when Purdue de feated Chicago. He dropped out of school in 191 but returned In 1920 and alternated at quarterback and fullback positions. Murphy is fast and is a splendid open field runner. He weighs 165 pounds. This is his last year at Purdue. Dick McCabe Say: Second division in thv Interna tional league consists of the seven other tr-anie besides Baltimore. BALKLINE IS DIFFICULT Kvon Straight rail Dl.tcouragct Beginner and Popularity of Great Sport Decreases. BY WIL.KIE C. Dl'MWAT. Will four-ball bllliaros be re vived and again become a feature of the great indoor game? This question probably will be answered in the affirmative and the old style of game be reinstated and recover its former popularity. Since Young Jacob Schaefer wrested the balk line crown from Willi Hoppe. who had worn it for 14 years and had been thought by many to be invincible, therw has been a trend from three cushions to balkline and even Htratght rail. Hoppes supremacy for so many years .somehow had convinced the rank and file of the amateurs, and seemingly some of the profession als, that balkline was too difficult a game to master to any consider able extent and three cushions be came the rage. Old ame for TV'ovlrea. No one will deny that It requires science and skill to be a good player eat three cushions, but the element of coance is greater than1 in balkline or straight rail. Scor ing of points by triple-cushion ex perts is by no means easy or rapid and the novice often plays 15 or 20 minutes before scoring a single point. As a result beginners and many players of medium ability be came discouraged and dropped-the game entirely. Now the idea is to revive the old game of straight- rail billiards and put back the fourth ball on the art.e exrpt for those who have made much prog ress is player. In Portland up to 35 or 40 years ago the tendency w a to make th game of billiards easier by reducing the size of t.thles and uiing four balls. Only the more advanced am ateurs or professional adhered to the three-bail gnrye. Then e Xpert a became so proficient in uraight rail play that they would innk runs going into t.ie hundreds and thousands and balkline was de vited. Amateurs followed the example of profensionalK. first, discarding the fourth ball and then hu1m ttutlng balkline for straight billiards. Then three c uk h Ion b-c;me the raK Even novices essayed the more dif ficult styles of play and I'm result was often dlacourHfrement, a prac t ice in the aim pie and rucl trm-ntary plain caroms was denied Wkmii. Old iame od Tralnla. By revert Iiik to the old four-ball game, with no restrict ton except "crotrh" in tbe corners, accuracy in the fundamental of the game w 111 be obtained and prog reus in knowledge and execution be more rapid. Trying to learn balkline or three ennhtona before tnaHterlng plain caroms or the simpler cush ion Phots is like trying to play a symphony on n piano before inaa tering the fundamental principles of mnWc. It Is be I leved by many ardent billiardiatH,. that resumption of the old four-hall game will re suit In more and better players In a comparatively short space of time. It In predicted by ma n air era of several public billiard parlors tn Portland that four balls on the table will noon be general here and renewed Interest in the great in door game will follow.
