THE OREGON DAILY fOUTHNAlZ ' rORTLAyP. TUESDAY KvTSyiyG. PECEMBEB 9, 190g. TAlf HAS HOST; - . - .. -. f j-r -J Princeton, ' Harvard land Point Next i four Host Scientific Elevens in the CountryThe Best Players, ' Football rooters, having fought over Main and again the gridiron battles of tho season, it la now in order to pick out the winner or rank the teams, which is a Yerjr unsatisfactory task, owing to tha numerous complications that arise in the varying forms and scores. Few persona would rank the first dosen or bo of tho Eastern teams just alike, but there is one point on which there will be no die aentlng voice and that Is that Tale ranks ' first Tale is the only Eastern team that went-, through the season without a. de feat, and her total of points is large. though this in Itself is not' so significant on account of ,tearjas meeting different sets of opponents. The blue's victories over the two areatest rivals were de cisive. Neither of them was able to cross her goal line and no team Was able to do that at straight rushing. West Foint did It once by blocking a kick on .the five- yard line, and Tufts did it once on a quarterback kick. No stronger team than Capt. Cliadwick's ever played football. and it is doubtful if any as strong ever played the game, PRINCETON RANKS SECOND. Next to Tale comes Princeton. Some roemSera of the Tale team say Harvard was stronger than Princeton, but the Tigers made the better showing against Yale. They did not gain as much ground as Harvard, but they scored, their de fense was more stubbornly sustained and they kept Yale's total down much lower than did Harvard. Only two touchdowns were made In the entire season against Princeton, while eight were made against Harvard, one each by Bowdoln. Wes loyan, West Point and Dartmouth and four by Yale. So long as the teams did not meet to test their relative strength the results Indicate that Princeton's de fensive strength more than offset Har vard's offensive superiority. Harvard ranks third and West Point fourth, Har vard having beaten Weet Point. Had the Army met Princeton there would have been a better means of comparing Har vard and Princeton, and it is by no means sure that Princeton would have beaten the soldiers. In the Annapolis game the West Point attack was the most con slstently strong of any team's except Yale's. Yale's defense was the only one encountered by West Point that pre vented sustained gains. r SHOWING OF, QUAKERS. Pennsylvania deserves to be ranked fifth, on account of lur,stlfr.Kwisa'i4t Iarva?d and her Bplendld brace which beat Cornell. Pennsylvania, it Is true. was beaten by the- Indians, as well as fcy Annapolis and Brown, but the form the Quakers displayed on Thanksgiving' . Day, their . anal, game, probably would have won for them the three games they lost. A team's final form must be con sidered, jlf one undertakes to go deeply into scores made throughout the season he finds himself In a perfect quagmire or calculations. or instance. Pennsyl vania was beaten by Annapolis, who was beaten by Columbia, and Columbia was beaten by Pennsylvania. Also, Lehigh beat Lafayette, who beat Brown, who beat Pennsylvania, who beat LehlKh. Reasoning at length along these lines Is impossible, so one can only reckon In a general way, taking into consideration chiefly how he thinks one team would do against another with both at their best. Cornell and the Indians both met Penn sylvania, the only team which both played, and Cornell lost the Pennsylvania game, while the Indians won theirs. Be sides, the Indians defeated Cornell, which ranks Carlisle in sixth place, with Cor nell seventh. Bucknell was victorious. over the Indians and had a strong team. On this game alone Bucknell ranks ahead of the Indiana, but Pennsylvania beat Bucknell and the Victories of the Indians over Cornell and Pennsylvania entitle them to a higher place than eighth, which Is assigned to Bucknell. Following Buck nell come Amhurfct, Dartmouth, Annap olis, Lafayette, Crown, Syracuse, Colum bia and Lehigh in the order named. Syracuse beat Amhurst, but owing- to in-., ' fuTUs 'did not improve and finish as- strong am Amhurst. ALL-SWR TEAMS. The selection of the best eleven players from the Eastern colleges Is another mat ter calling forth much difference of opin ion. Following are a first and a second team: First Team Shevlin. Tale, and Bow- dltch. Harvard, ends; Hogan, Yale, and Kinney, Yale, tackles; Glass, Yale and Dewitt, Princeton, guards; Holt, Yale, center;. Rockwell, Yale, quarterback; ;nadwlck, Yale, and Bunker, West Point, naurjacKs; uraydonv Harvard, fullback. second Team Davis, Princeton, and Metzger, Pennsylvania, ends; Graves, West Point, and Sheetinn, Brown, tack les; G0S3, Yale, and Warner, Cornell, guards; , Aicuabe, Pennsylvania, center; Paly, West Point, quarterback; Metcalf. Yale, and Weekes, Columbia, halfbacks; Bennett, Pennsylvania, fullback. The first named team Is the strongest aggregation that could be put together, possessing the most all-round ability. IS FOOTBALL TOO STRENUOUS Discussion of the Game From a Brutal Standpoint. Is football a brutal game? Chancel lor Day of Syracuse University, the other day, declared "that the brutality displayed in the game puts It on the level of prise fighting." After Chancellor Day made the statement quoted, the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Triune made, an effort to see if Mr. Day's opinions would hold good with those that are at the head of other edu cational, institutions --that - support fdot-" ball teams. Chancellor Day's state ment was wired to the presidents H 20 of the leading colleges of the country, and they were asked to, give ' their opinions pn tbe matter. It was but fair to presume that. Inasmuch aa tho welfare at -the- youth-of thirrd-g-rafBeTO8nTne the insti- ineir nanas, iney, arjove ail oyiers, would most willlngly-givp their views of the matter. Out of the 20 but few "replied, and those who did with but one t exception sidestepped the matter -very cleverly. ?. Some of them wersv out of itaw an xoould nflWfe. reached", 1 which t. tha ' uninformed may look like ,,. nolit waTMOt dodslnf tha aueation. ' On of i he last ones fc fall in line was "President ? Woodrow' Wilson of Princeton, and " Ms views ' follow.. .'. Ha has nothing but praise for the game. and tha question of 'Injuries and deaths IS dismissed la very .few words, and one must be reassured by -tha fact that there is a doctor always at hand. Presi dent Wilson said;--, !.'.? . - ? ABHORS PRIZE) FIGHTING. ; '' "Any declaration that football as cow played by anj American college or uni versity team Is on a level with prise fighting shows crude thought. , I believe It to be a 'wholesome sport, -which de serves the importance wfalch . It has at- tained. . ; : -; . , : .. ; "It is a" rough-house "game, of course, and occasionaly, players are Injured, ai may be in all manly,' outdoor sports; but the students always have a doctor present to attend every injury : I. know that deaths .have resulted from football this year, but. there ti&vs been no deaths and no serious injuries In well-trained seasoned teams. a j' "It la not fair 1y say that football to 'day. la 4 air exercise of brute force with out Intelligence. ;'It la true that the tendency of ' tha game Is .toward mass play, toward Combined weight. Person ally I favor' the old Rugby game. But massed play requires great intelligence. "Tha truth Is that thers is great intel tlgenoa and self-restraint used in massed play. The plan of attack or defense must be accurate or it will miscarry. The in dividual sinks his opportunity for sep arate, personal distinction in bis pride for tha university name. - The obedience to orders, that surrender of individual progress for the good of the whole, that military spirit of disciplined co-operation. Is good.- "Some of the massed play is really beautiful in its Intelligence and pre cision. Take the revolving movements, for Instance. The ball is passed to a player oa the end of a shoulder-to-rhoulder crescent, and, as the enemy stacks, the crescent sweeps around, leaving the player with the ball as a pivot at the center so that he emerges on the other tide with clear ground in front of him. "It Is sometimes a rough movement, with plenty of shock to it, but it is scientific self-restraint and obedience. "These university sports are admirable. Thoy promote hearty social relationships and combat the tendency of all institu tions of learning toward segregation. They Inspire esprit de corps. The Individual learns to sink his personal ambitions for tho glory of the. whole. .He learns how to. fight for his colors rather than for himself. "After all, the supreme object of col lege life is to make men, by study and by attrition. We try to develop all that a man has In him. The influence of field sports on character Is sound and lasting." GIANTS OF THE MAT TO MEET Jenkins Will Wrestle Hclnerny for Championship. TOLEDO, Q., Dec. 9. Bobby Reakes of this city recently Issued a challenge to meet any 140-pound wrestler In the world for f230 a. side. Harvey Parker,- v.-ho is the only wrestler who disputes ReaHes claim for the lightweight championship of the world, has announced that he win nccept the defi of Reakes, and will wres tle him for $t!0 or $000 a side and tbe world's championship. He stipulates that the match be. brought off in Cleveland the week of December 29, as his combina tion will be in the Forest City at that time. Parker further adds that Reakes owed him 50 and that If he. Parker, doe not throw Reakes In 15 minutes he will make him a present of the 5D. Reakes and Parker have met several times, and arc pretty evenly matched. KURF1ST MUST FIND AN "ANGEL In reference to the challenges hurled at him by Kurfist, the local middleweight, Eddie Conley said last night that he would meet Kurfist any time the latter could secure some one who would guur antee a purse. "I have a steady Job now," says Conley, "and do not care much whether I ever wrestle again or not. Certainly, I will not go on the mat when there Is nothing In sight for me." JENKINS TO WRESTLE McINERNY. Tom Jenkins returned from New York yesterday and at once accepted Tom Scanloa's offer for a match with Mc Inerny, the big irishman, who has been making Buffalo his headquarters for sev eral weeks. Mclnerny was in Cleveland a few days ago, en route for Cincinnati, where he went la .arrange a. match with Charleys Wlttmer, and then informed Scanlon that it was his desir.e to meet the Newburg man upon the mat. Conse quently there are only a few minor de tails to bo arranged and the two men are considered as good as matched. The bout will take place at the Central Armory, either December 16 or 17. Jenkins will go Into active training at once for the match, notwithstanding- the fact that he is In good condition, havlnir only a week ago dofeated Joe Carroll, who claimed to be champion of Ireland. MASCOT CRAZE OF THE TEAMS Yale Has Old Pop Smith for Its Star of Victory. Every college in the cojintry 'has its mascots for baseball, football and other contests in which its club participates, but Tale probably has the most cele brated of them all in Pop Smith. Pop Is known wherever there is an oval in the United States, for he has been con sidered, a human omen of good luck by the boys of Old -Ell since the early days of the sport. On many of the fours of the Tale eleven Pop goes along as an hon- -ored guestr-and at home and abroad has probably cheered for "good old Tale" as many times as the' most enthusiastic ad mirer of the club in America. - Though he has lived nearly three quar ters of a century. Pop becomes young again when a match Is on, and forgets his years as he cheers for his side. It is a fact that the Tale men have been winning on many occasions wnen tne venerable mascot was with them while one year when he was 111 most of the season they had a remarkable rtm of defeats. Smith has lived nearly all his life in the shadow of the university in New Haven, making a Irving Dy selling iruit, like John, "tho orange man," Princeton's fa mous mascot. When younger he also took care of some of the students' rooms. tution and almost aa well known as Its presidents. f Sporting xtews. Tracy Denny, 106 4 th. J MM I F in urn Noted Riders in Six-Day v ? Cycle Grind Fastest Wheelmen of America and Europe Pedaling for Glory. NEW TORK, Dec. . The great annual six-day International cycle team race Is now in full swing at the Madison Square Garden. The crack teams of Europe and America are represented. Through this six-day race the best men from all tho countries of Europe are brought Into com petition with the very best men of every section of these United States, and the International competitive feature is per haps the most interesting of the race, in team racing the Americans have always prevailed, but this year the managers de termined to Introduce an entirely new field of riders from E.urope, and scoured the land across the "water to find the mightiest men to hurl against the Ameri cans. They claim to have succeeded be. yond their expectations in securing a fine lot of riders. Without an exception the American field is the finest ever present ed, Including all of the good men and every one trained to the minute. A fierce and record-breaking race is anticipated. SOME HAVE RECORDS. While it is a fact that not aeam will be, seen In this year's race which went through the contest last season, the very fact lefids Interest to the contest. Specu lation is rife in regard to the possibilities of the various teams and the Individuals are each known by record and upon the individual records the team is rated. Bobble Walthour, last year's winner, with the unfortunate McEachem as a mate, Is teamed with Nat Butler, who gained fifth last season. Otto Maya, who was second last year'wlth Lester Wilson! McFarland and Elkes won the race of 1900. McFarland' ar.d Maya won the race of 10 hours' dally duration at Boston last season. Jed Newklrk. third, with Munroe as a mate last year, will be mated with John Johnson this year. George Leander, whose mate was Ruts last year in the Philadelphia race and the Boston race, In both of. which the team ran second. and at Atlanta, where they won, are com petitors this year, with a Chicago rider named Blum, and the team- is a possibil ity worth watching. EDDIE BALD TO RIDE. Then there Is Harry Elkes, who mated Ith McFarland to victory In 1900, and Eddie Bald, the old-time triple-plate champion and sprinting champion of Europe. Willie Fenn, the Nutmeg State blacksmith, and Patsy Kecgain, the Lynn Irishman, are a hot combination. The Beowwiraers of l.tmif TBlann Ure a pairT to be watched all the time. Jimmy Mo- ran, the, king of- Chelsea, ana wiir-c. Stinson, last year's champion, among the pace followers, form a team that is con sidered very strong. There are many others who are likely to show promi nently. Of the foreign teams only Gojjgoults and Kaser are well known In this coun try, the other four being experienced and hardy long distance men from Germany, Svltrerland, Italy and France. Alto gtther it. la a strong ca,rd of entries pre sented with many surprises likely from among the lesser-known lights. Thejtrack la but 10 laps to the mile. 176 j tlfua umujiu, uiiu yti out? I luri caiiiiui hope to gain the lap without a half hour of the wildest sort of riding and with some one aiding him. The rules of the race prescribe that In event of two men or more starting for a lap all must gain or none will be allowed the lap gained. This prevents team work. AMERICANS SUPERIOR. This race, which has become an annual affair In New York, has only been won once by a foreigner Teddy Hale the champion of Ireland, whoBe victory was Immensely popular. Each succeeding year the pick of the foreign cycle riders have taken the trip across the big pond with the hope of capturing It, but the Ameri cans have always proved their superiority at the finish and won out. GouroHz of France was a stsrter In the race last year,, his team mate being 81 mar, who was forced to retire from the race through .illness.-. Gougol ths year has fleeted Carl Kaser as Ms team mate. Kaser, who has also-ridden here before, la a German, and Is the holder of all erman records and championships. The other foreign teams are Dorfllnger and Heller, champions of Switzerland: Brunl and Bulsson, who hold a number of records in France: Lostens and, Baras quin, champions of Belgium, and Breton and Darragon. another pair of French champions. Most of these men have par ticipated In six-day races and can be re lied upon to make It very Interesting for our riders. TRICK RIDING. The management has added an extra feature during the six-day bicycle race which Is the most daring and hazardous bicycle act ever attempted. It la a triple act performed by Dan Canary the trick cyclist. Mounted on a wheel he climbs a spiral track to the height of 60 feet on the top of which Is a cycle whirl After reaching this he performs several remarkable tricks without using his hands and then dashes out of the whirl on to narrow platform and descends down a" flight of stairs on his wheel to the floor. ABE ATTELL MAKES GOOD Puts It AH Over Buddy Ryan and Gets Decision. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. At the American Athletic Club last night Abe Aattell ob tained the decision over Buddy Ryan fh a six-round contest. Artell put it all over Ryan, who was enable to get away from the short arm Jabs. The victory of Attell over, so fast 'and clever a fighter as Ryan, whq. is a featherweight, places -the- San Francisco -boy In a position where he will be one of the hardest nuts the ban tams will have to era ex. In the bout last night Attell showed speed and cleverness, which gamed for him continual applause. He ducked and sidestepped the swings Will! Land-rushes ttt hli antagonist, who wal unable to land effectively. KINQ WANTS A MATCH.

EAGLE WILL BE THE DEFENDER Work on the Yacht Forging Ahead With Ail Speed. NEW TORK. Dec. 9 When the new cup defender is launched It Is given out that she will be christened the Eagle. ' It has been decided that the races will be held on August 20 and continue on alter nate days until concluded. At present every department of the Herreshoft shops Is running full blast getting out various parts for the new cup defender, In both wood and metal, on lines that mean the pushing of the construction to the fullest extent, in accordance with the desire of the syndicate of owners and Mr. laelln, the manager. The moulding shop will be a busy department from now on until the sloop la ready to sail on her Initial spin. There Is already demand for some of the castings, which will be required the com ing week. The stem earning Is nearly ready for use and so Is the collision bulk head. The auger holes are to be bored this week In the top of the It-ad keel, end the lag screws to connect the lead keel and the framing of the new craft are being finished up in tne machine shops. Considering the fact that the cup races are to be sailed in August and the proba bility of tho new boat being selected to defend the cup, yachting people here abouts take the view that a space of four months Is npne too long for the tub ing up of a big 90-footer. especially If there are to be new wrinkles In the craft One thine: looked forward to with lnteJ1- 'a auvaniage uerivea rrom trying new racing craft In the breezes preval ent In th spring-months In this section.

HELENA AFTER GOOD PLAYERS Flannery Searching the East for Pennant Winners. All of the managers In the Northwest League are keeping a weather eye open for pennant-winnihK material for next season. Dugdale of Seattle has made his roundup of the East and picked up a few top-notchers. The lielena club Is ,alo out looking for the real thing to put in the diamond. The St. Paul Dispatch In this relation says: "Jack" Flannery. manager of the Hel ena team, of the Pacific Northwest League, passed through St. Paul the other May enroute for the East. The Helena manager Is after new men for the 1903 season, and If he secures the players lie now has lines on, the Helena team will again be La.fac.tQC In .Uae r.ace.for -the -e-faant of the Coast Leasue. ... Manager Flaherty got his team away bad at the beginning of last season, and was still able to make the leaders fight to keep ahead of Helena. Flannery signed a strong team, but a number of his men forgot their contracts at the last moment, and the manager was compelled to fill In the holes .with Inexperienced men. Despite all this, Helena started for the top, and the manager deserves much credit for pulling his team through to a third place position at the finish. James A., alias Hjalmer, Wlggs. helped Flannery along, and the work of this bit. pitcher was fust enough to secure him RECORD OF THE PAST. What Stronger Evidence Can The Reader Ask 'For.
