FIRST PICTURE OF NEW BEAVER PLAYER In the east there is one Parke H. Davis, Princeton member of the Inter collegiate rules committee, who is walking in the footsteps of one Walter Camp, Yale member of the intercollegiate rules committee, when it comes to mentioning the northwest gridiron stars. Davis dabbles In football records, such as lone runs for touchdowns from kick-offs, punts, scrimmages, intercepted forward passes, completed forward passes, etc i , T With the. exception of giving A. Bernard, the Washington State college quarterback, credit for two 70-yard runs for touchdowns from kick-offs that he did pot make and including the 25-yard placement kick by Durham of Washington State college.'Davis slighted the northwest."1 The 80-yard run for a touchdown by Quarterback Hoover of the Whit man college team against the University of Washington, the 75-yard run by Steve Schuster of the Oregon Aggies after he had intercepted a forward pass, Leo Malarkey's 60-yard run for a touchdown against the University of Idaho and several other lesser runs made by players of this section were overlooked Dy me iJavis party. ,. ,t -;. . . ... Of course, Davi is inclined ta overlook the northwest because -when he went to college years" ago, the northwest was little known east of the Rocky mountains in a football way. . Looking over the games of the northwest, college teams during the 1914 season, the writer picked out the following thrill producers: . 80 yards Hoover, Whitman, vs. University of Washington. Whitman's only score of a 28-7 defeat. , 75 yaras scnuster, j. a. u., vs. laano, intercepted forward pass for touchdown.- 60 yards Malarkey, Oregon, vs. Idaho, touchdown from scrimmage, , , 5 5 yards Lutz,-O. Ai C, vs. Willamette, touchdown from scrimmage. 50 yards- Sharpe, Oregon, vs. Willamette, touchdown from scrimmage. . 45 yards JWonteith, Oregon, vs. Willamette, touchdown from scrimmage. Several other runs between 25 and, 40 yards were registered by northwest ern players. '" The shrewdest pitcher Portland ever had. Who was he? Was be Grege. Groome, Krapp, Seaton, Henderson or Harkness of the old days, or West", Lush, Higginbotham, Krause or Reiger of the present team? Waiter Mccrecue, wno nrougnt tnem an to the iront, selects Bill Steen, the hard luck Cleveland pitcher, as the brainiest of all. And there will be few who will argue the point with the champion manager of minor league baseball. "Steen was a fox in there. The only one of my pitchers who could ap proach him in-keen qualities was Gregg, who was nobody's fool. Steen, 1 think, could diagnose a play a trifle more quickly than Gregg. He could hold men on bases better than any man, right or left hander, that we have had In the league, and a runner on any of the bases had to stick close to the bag. wnen ne worea. ne cuuiu new ms position, na ne couia outwit tne Datters, He could go in cold with three on bases and none out,' and retire the side without a run. 'I've seen hirn do It dozens of times.

Mike Kahoe, , scout for the Washington and Minne apolis clubs, went down into a coal . mine recently to get' the 'signature of a catcher, who will get trial, with the Minneapolis club, in the American Association, next season. . "His name is Tom Wilson," said Ka hoe. "I was told to go to Hartford, Nebraska, where he lived When I got to Hartford, X found It a town of about 200. In the outskirts was a coat mine. Inquiry developed the fact that Wilson was at work in tlio mine.' .1 decided to wait until he anfe out liti the evening -to sign him up, but I suddenly changed niy mind following a conversation with one of the armed guards near the mine. " There"s coe to be trouble around . here pretty; soon, .mister,' said the guard.

"Well, after going down-and 4own for about 82 miles, the bucket that Z was riding in reached the bottom. It . was led for three or four miles farther, and pretty soon I came updn a.gang of men. . My guide pointed i out one '.and -said: - j . ".That's Wilson.' it "I told Wilson that 'I pad come to . sign him up for the Minneapolis club., offered him terms, and fie said they were satisfactory.
