With the completion of the inter-class aeries and the semi-finals of the inttr fraternity clashes over basketball at Oregon assumes a more definite form. Prospects, phenoms and possibilities so far have filled the air. Hugo Bezdek will coach the team this year and Oregon basketballers will have to show more than pedigrees. From the few prac tices that have already been held he has Impressed the men that the same Style of coaching; will be employed in '' the indoor game that Bex used on the i gridiron. In football Bezdek found that the men- had not been well grounded In the fundamentals and the little Teuton be gan at the bottom. In the practices this week the coach's whistle lias topped the play every minute and "time out" taken while Bezdek and some ' offending -player held a conference. "Why weren't you there?" "You should have been there." "Let's see you take this puss. No, that's not it. That's bad." To Besdek there is only one way to do a thing and that is the correct way. Luck, streaks, chance, are words foreign to bis vocabulary. Bradshaw, Fenton and Rice men who are sup posed to be past roasters in the bas- ketball shooting game were told some things that the veriest "prepper" would '.. blush to bear. . The old men out this week were Cap : tain Fenton, Rice, Bradshaw and Bims, and last year's substitutes Fee and Boylen. In the second team are Wolcott, the freshman guard from fltlverton; Mickey Gorman, Cossman, Stevenson, - Bryant and Bigbee. Sprained fingers - are keeping Davis and Hampton, sopho- ', mores, out of tne practices. Teuton Going Early. Carl Fenton seems to be thoroughly "on" for (fete early in the season. Tues ' day and Wednesday evenings bis shoot ing was as accurate as in midseason. He baa been playing his old position at '. center and although it baa been per sistently rumored that he would be shifted to a forward, the lack of good center material at this time seems to give this rumor little credence. No " freshman possibilities for the center po ' sitlons have been discovered in the inter-fraternity and class games and none of the upperclassmen has enough class to get on here. Stevenson, who has been playing against Fenton in the practices already held, is a big man ' with a good Jump but lacks speed and V aggressiveness. He has a good shot, ;. particularly overhand, but his lack of v speed keeps him from the varsity. Don t", Rloe probably has 6ne of the guard po '. sitlons cinched, although an effort will be made to make a forward out of him. - Wolcott, Gorman, Hampton and Boylen . are contenders with Bradshaw for the other guard position. Sims has been a Wonderful forward but streaky in his playing. Chester Fee, last year's fresh .'- man sub. looks good for the other post . tion but will have to travel some to beat "Skeeter" Bigbee, the freshman "phenotn" from Albany, Fee has the ad vantage In weight over Bigbee and can i not be smothered as easily as the Al bany youngster. Lyte Bigbee, a brother ; of "Skeeter," has been touted as a Good Material Going to Waste Because It Is Not Being Properly Handled. The need of an athletic director, capa ble of coaching football, baseball ami track and field teams at the Multnotneli Athletic club, was pointed out yester day by E. Plowden Stott. a member of the board of trustees and manager of the winged "M" football team during me present seafcon. "If the club intends to continue in the gridiron name and play the north west college teams, it will have to em ploy a coach," said Stott. "The team was lucky In securing Peter Rode, former navy captain, as quarterback during the 1913 season and he prepared the team's offensive work, but In the future the team cannot depend on a player us a coach. "The college teams are well coached, and in case Multnomah does not secure a coach it will have little chance against tne college: trams In four or five sea sons. ! "Instructors are employed in the box ing, wrestling and swimming depart1 ments and football is along the same lines, so why not have an athletic di rector who will be able to handls all outdoor sports. "The same is true of track and field athletics. Multnomah has always had a top notch track and field team, and if it is desirous of holding Its position, some one must be hired to help condi tion the athletes. "The club has many young athletea In I Its i-nks, who will - not be properly developed because there Is no coach, j The time Is coming when Multnomah ! cannot depend on the college graduates to help strengthen the teams, but mmt i develop its own material." ' John R. Bender of the Washington I State college, Dr. Sweetland of Wills,-1 mette university and Bill Hayward of j wie university or uregon have been named in connection with the Multno mah club athletic directorship. Any of these would make a splendid director and it is likely that the club directors will take the matter up m the near future. Tha captains, from left to right, axe: Top row -"Hap" Miller, University of Washington; Johnny Parsons, University of Oregon Emery Alvord, Washington State College. Lower row "Benny" Robertson, Ore gon Agricultural College; Clark Slover, Whitman College, and "Buck" Phillips, University of Idaho. 10 NEW I TORS CHESS SECURED FOR Y. M. C. A.

The Inter-Class games this year, as usual, have resulted in the taking of the class championship by tha freshmon. The first year men always have an ad vantage under the rule that prohibits k men who have played on the first team at any time from participating in the jL inter-class series. It is only the third and fourth raters that the other classes - can place against the green cappers , While all the ''phenoms" get a chance to f show their ability in these fames. The v 'freshman team was captained by "Skeeter" Bigbee. Besides Bigbee and Wolcott, Furney, the Astoria boy who has had basketball training at Mount t. Angel college, showed up well. Furney f-has a good shot but is handicapped with weak syes, which make his handling and throwing of passes inaccurate. In the elimination series far the Hay War inter-fraternity cup the Avava, Blgma Nu and Oregon club teams have so far been -undefeated and will play off ? for the cup after the Christmas holi j days. Sigma Nu has been defeated once j in the preliminary games and opinion is t about evenly divided between the Ore , gon club and Avava as winners. The ; Hayward cup was won last year by the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The trophy must be won two years In succession to j' remain the permanent property of any r organization.

' RED WATTS SIGNS WITH VANCOUVER LEAGUERS Ike Wolfer, Jefferson High Tosser, Is Wanted by Boise Club, Walter (Red) Watts, the all-star shortstop of the Jefferson high school baseball team, champions of the Inter soholastio league , last season, today signed a contract to play with the Van couver team of the Northwestern league. Watts has been playing baseball for three years. He will turn in his signed contract to Bob Brown when the Van couver boss arrives In Portland tomor row to attend tba sohedule pow-wow of the Northwestern league. Jimmy Richardson, the boy scout. has been trying to get Ike Wolfer, an other Jefferson star, to sign a contract. It is said that Richardson wants hlni to Join the Boise, Idaho, team. Wolfer' i parents are against him playing profes sional ball, so there seems to be llttlt chance for Richardson to sign him. Archie Hahn of Whitman Gets Plenty of Rest Between Games; The Canadian Snowshoe Union Will make application to the Amateur Athlet io Union of Canada for recognition as the national governing body In Canadian snowshoelng. JSvery pacific Northwest Intercollegi ate conference team will meet all other teams of the conference, provided grad uate manager Ralph Horr of tho Uni versity of Washington schedules a game with the University of Idaho. It is now assured that the Oregon Aggies will buttle against Washington in Al bany, Or.. Saturday. October 31. Horr will likely schedule the Idaho cm. for Seattle, but before he can get the game he must - give Idaho a bigger guarantee than he has in past seasons. The best schedule of the whole con ference was arranged by Coach Archie Hahn of the Whitman college. Halm framed up a schedule which gives his team two weeks' rest between each game except the next to the last one against tbe Washington State team Whitman meets the hardest teams of the conference first. . On the ouenlnu day of the schedule it plays the Uni versity of Oregon team, and two weeks later It buokles up against Dobie's men n Seattle. After the Washington -same t will play the Oregon Aggies, and will then meet the Washington State team. whitman's last game is on Thanksgiv ing day with Idaho. Manager Dean H. Walker of the Uni versity of Oregon, who was in Portland last week, has arranged an excellent schedule for the lemon and yellow. Oregon meets Whitman. Washlne-ton State and Idaho, and then has a three weeks' rest before playing the Univer sity of Washington oleven in Seattle. A. C. plays its first game on October 24. against Washington State, and then it plays the other teams of the confer ence as follows: Washington, Whit man, Idaho and Oregon. There is only week's rest between each game. The complete schedule, with the ten tative dates for the Washington-O. A. C. and Washington-Idaho games, is: October 10 Whitman vs. Oregon, at Eugene.

The "Winged M" team will play tbe St. James team of Vancouver, Wash., and a preliminary game will be staged be tween the Frank E. Watkins team, win ners of the Archer-Wiggins league championship, and the Arleta eleven. The preliminary game will start at 1 o'clock and the big garnte at 2:80 o'clock. The Multnomah players will practice this morning on the club field. Man ager Stott is anxious to have all his players report for practice so that they will be ablo to get In condition for the struggle with the Idaho team on New Year's Day. Multnomah will be minus the ser vices of Bailey. Illckson and O'Rourke In Thursday's game, but Stott expects to have little trouble in beating tho Vancouver stars. Clayton Patterson will likely be in the pivot position In the club lineup in place of Peter- Rodes. who haB gone east. Patterson played quarterback on the Lincoln High school team, champions of western Oregon during the 1911 season. . Tbe Vancouver team has been strengthened by the return of Royal Nllos, who played on that team before entering Whitman College. Nlles was selected on the All-Northwest football team twice In succession and received mention on several teams at the close of the 1913 eeason. The Multnomah-Idaho game New Year's Day is going to be a great one. Idaho had the best tackling team Irt the conference during the 1913 season and will give the Multnomah team a hard battle. "Jack. Johnson, chonen as one of the All-Northwest ends this season, will not be In the Idaho lineup. His mother, who lives In the east, is vory ill and it becomes necessary for him to go to her bedside. Idaho, however, has a sub stitute end who can play nearly as good. There is a possible chance of Chris man, the orack O. A. C. tackle, playing with the Multnomah team. Chrlsman graduates from O. A. C. in 1914, but Stewart thinks that he has a chance of making the basketball team and wants to retain him. Tickets for tha game will be placed on sale at the local sporting goods stores Tuesday morning. FIFTY PRIZES WILL BE SHOT AT KENTON TRAPS The Portland Gun club will bold a big merchandise shoot on its Kenton traps today. Fifty prises, lnoluding 10 big turkeys, will be awarded the shooters under the Portland class -plan, where all shooters have an equal chance, e There will be no entrance fee and the Shooting will start at 10 o'clock. It li expected that a large number of shoot ers will be present. O'Neill Leader In France.
