phasizes the Necessity of Unity.
A committe of men representing the
Portland Motor Boat club, the Oregon
"Yacht, club and the "Portland Rowing
club will appear before the directors
of the Portland Rose Festival associa
tion in. the near future and outline
plans for the regatta, which is to be
staged during the Rose Carnival of
this season.
George X,. Baker, who is one of the
directors of the festival association,
claims to be an enthusiastic motor
boater, although he has not yet had
the pleasure of riding in a motor
boat,, and he believes that a bisr re
gatta on the river during the carni
val would greatly advertise Portland's
great asset, the Willamette river.
- It is likely that the Rose Festival
association will set aside a certain
amount of money, which wilj be used
to purchase prizes for tho winners
la the various events.
. The regatta staged during the 1914
festival was a big success, but the

consist of a free-for-all. 16 foot class
race, a class B sailing boat event.
There will ilkely be single, double
and four oared rowing races.
Smoker Is Enjoyable.
The smoker at the Portland Motor
Boat club house last Tuesday evening
was a very successful and enjoyable
vent. Close to 200 yachtsmen were
on hand to witness the program of
music, songs and sketches, which was
arranged by Joe Carter, chairman of
the entertainment committee. Among
those present were a number of Ore
gon Yacht club and Portland Rowing
club members.
Fleet Surgeon Charles Hill was
master of ceremonies and no idle mo
ment was allowed to intrude in the
Joys of the evening. Jimmy Dunn
gave several of his characteristic
songs and sketches in true "elevator
up" Btyle. The Joys of motor boat
ing on wheels In old England were
most vividly portrayed by Jimmy
IHinn.
Messrs. Carter. Hay, Waliand, Cor
ley and Newbold responded to several
enthusiastic encores of their songs
and musical numbers. The Portland
Amateur Dramatic club presented a
little sketch, which was full of humor.
Commodore Bob Bain, of the Oregon
Yacht club, responded on behalf of
the sailors. Captain Meridenhall told
of crossing the line on a sailing ship
In the eajrty days of his yachting ex
perience. Captain Smith, of Rainier,
creatcrr of the "Oregon Kid" and "Ore
gon Kid II," Oregon's great speed
boats, was on hand with the racing
dope.
George J. Kelly introduced the new
commodore of the club and in his
speech he gave a short history of the
club and enlivened the yachtsmen with
a few tales of humorous characteristics-
of his career on the "juicy high
way." Beebe Makes Talk.
Commodore Kenneth Beebe respond
ed w'lth a short speech. In which he
outlined the club's policy for the com
ing year. -He emphasized the keynote
of unity among the clubs along the
river. - "Let us pull together," he said,
"for the biggest and greatest yacht
ing season we have ever had." The
crowd responded with the old hymn,
'Hand Him the Oars."
Commodore Beebe also stated that

is a growing feeling that the various

Part of the practice work of a hockey team is practice in the face-off, which means putting the puck In play. A good center wjll give his team the edge by Btriking the
puck first and getting it out to one of his men. In the photograph Manager Pete Muldoon of the Portland Rosebuds is seen dropping the puck between Captain Oat
man, on the left, and Ran McDonald. The object protruding from Pete's mouth is not the latest in pipes, but a regular referee's whistle. The disc is. seen falling
between the sticks. The Portland team is getting in some good practice preparatory to leaving Monday afternoon. They play Victoria Tuesday night and in Van
couver Friday and Saturday nights. Manager Muldoon has hopes of taking all three games. The hockey season will close here with two games against Victoria March:
- 4 and 6, but Manager George Keller of the Hippodrome says skating will continue until May 1 and even after that If the public desires.

COAST HOCKEY BETTER THAN EASTERN
SEVEN -MAN TEAM IS MORE SCIENTIFIC
stKKa(taetietaeaeaeae
RINKS OUT THIS WAY ARE MUCH LARGER
Raids of Coast Depleted Na
tional Association of Stars
and They Had to Divide.
By Pete Muldoon, Manager of
Rosebuds.
The discussion between the profes
sional hockey clubs In the east and
the west as to whether the six-man
(style of the east or the seven-man
system of the west was best Is still
ixn unsettled issue.'
The eastern teams at the time of the
1911-12 raids by the newly organized
Pacific Ct-ast league found a big hole
to fill and were unable to find enough
first class - material to do so. As a
means of providing- enough players to
go around after ,the departure of their
stars, trades were made among the
clubs and the teams were evened up
as much as possible, but still appeared
weak on paper..
At a meeting- held in Montreal. Pres
ident Quinn of the National Hockey
association brought forth a motion for
the adoption of six-man hockey, which
would eliminate the rover. At first
this proposition was received with dis
favor by the fans, who thought It
would slow up the game.
A Bet of rules was drafted which
made it possible for tjhe club to have
six men on the ice throughout the en
tire game. When a player committed
a foul he was ruled off for a period
(of three minutes and another player
took his place. This has proved to be
the stumbling block of the six-man
system. A player may be remoypd
from the game and fined, but Instead
of penalizing his team It often helps
the club.
One player may not be as good as
another who is sitting on the bench,
consequently the player of lesser abil
ity will be sent out to checkhard and
bring down his man. Nothing takes
the stamina out of a player more than
good stiff body checks and this,
coupled with roughing, will take the
speed out of most any player for a
time. The player doing the rough
work will be penalized and possibly
fined from $5 to $25, but he has ac
complished what he was sent out to
do. The man on the bench is Just
waiting for this opportunity and he
goes into the game fresh and full of
life. His speed is his most essential
make up and tho result can be readily
seen. He outskates the opposition and
makes the goaltender's life miserable.
Eastern Clabs Favor It.
The eastern clubs with one excep
tion Ottawa all favor the six-man
game, but they have been trying to
tind a system whereby the player com
miting a foul will be penalized and
his team made to suffer. The league
in the east last season collected in tht
neighborhood of J500 from the differ

GAME OF HOCKEY
ent clubs under Its jurisdiction, but It
is safe to say ont of all this money
very little of it came out of the play
ers' pockets. If a player had. to pay
this money out of his salary he would
be more careful about tha way ho
used his stick. In the majority of
cases the fans donate liberally and It
has been heard shouted a good many
times in the eastern rinks by enthu
siastic fans, "Get him. We will pay
your fine," and often the player is
induced to chop an opponent over the
legs by these same fans who on ordl
rary occasions will deliver a tirade on
rough hockey.
Delving into the finer points of six
man hockey, we find that It is a won
derfully fast game. Tho players have
to hit up a fast clip all the way. to
follow the puck or the play will get
uninteresting. At the present time
every club 4n the National Hockey
association has to have eight men in
uniform for every game. In case of
being short the referee can award the
game to the club with a full quota
This makes It necessary for all the
clubs to carry about 10 men.
Tho play in six-man hockey is much
rougher than in the seven-man game.
Very rarely three men rush down the
Ice abreast passing and repassing the
puck. Their play is mainly individual
efforts or two-man combination. It
is a hard thing for three men to pene
trate a good defense in hockey, but
when one or two men attempt to get
Inside the defense they are going; to
meet with a good many stiff checks
and will get bumped very frequently
and often fouled, so' that it is impos
rible for the watchful eye of the ref
eree to detect It.
Flayers Often Laid Up.,
A great many of the players in the
six-man game are laid up for weeks
at a timo undergoing repairs. Another
reason why the six-man game is sc
popular in the east is the size of the
rinks. The rinks in the National
Hockey association are all smaller than
the rinks or the Pacific coast. The Ice
space is from five to 10 feet less in
width and 10 to 30 feet less in length
and in the seven-man game the play
was often congested. Passing with any
degre-s of certainty was impossible.
For the small rinks in the east six
man hockey has proved to be a suc
cess, but played in rinks like those on
the coast the 6ix-man system would
prove to be too slow for tho fans.
The seven-man system as used on
the coast has been remodeled in the
last three years so that the follower
of the game would hardly recognize it
as the same game played a few years
ago. The ehanges have all tended to
quicken the game and make it faster
from the spectator's standpoint. The
Ice space previous to 1911 had no lines
or neutral zones marked off and the
game played under a strict official
would .often lag. ' Most of the off
sides - would occur at facing of the
Movies Employed to
Help Out Athletes
Trainer Art Smith, of the University
of Maine, has sprung a new one on the
Pine Tree athletes. In fact, his new
move Is almost sure to be copied by
athletio trainers of the east. Smith's
latest is to teach all his athletes by
means of moving pictures. "I would
no more think of coaching track ath
letes on my team without the 'mov
ies'." said Smith recently, "than I
would think of trying to teach them to
fjy. It teaches the proper form as well
as detail in a race. The tfme is coming
when every athletic trainer in the
country will be using the 'movies' in
coaching their charges."
puck and often a minute would elapse
Ltfore a team would get away to a
good start.
At a fanning bee in the dressing
room of tho Vancouver hockey club,
Frank Patrick brought up the idea of
dividing the rink into three equal
parts, making the center part neutral,
whereby a player could pass the puck
ahead to a fellow player without an
off-side being called. It was gener
ally agreed that this might be a good
plan and quicken the game and, as
Patrick put it, "it was not going to
cost anything to try it out.1' So a
set of rules were drafted which elim
inated the off-side In center ice. The
first game was played at Victoria in
1912 and from the start it has proved
to be a success. It has been the sal
vation of the seven-man game on the
coast.
Fans Saw Advantage.
At first the play was too fast for
the fans to follow, but they were quick
to see the advantages to be gained
tnd the sensational plays which would
crop out. For instance the puck could
be passed the same as the forward
pass is used in football, which is gen
erally the occasion of much applause
when successful. Often a player will
be rushing up the ice and when i he
crosses the line in the neutral Ice he
will pass the puck ahead to tho man
who is Just Inside the line 70 feet
away. This gives the man receiving
the puck a good chance to go in and
score and also means the speeding up
of the game because the forward men
have to check back to protect . their
goal.
This rue alone quickened the game
a full half hour' and has done away
with a lot of the off-sides. The play
ers of the six-man game declare that
by using the forward pass it would
make the game so fast that they would
not be able to go the route. The pace
they would have to travel up and down
the ice would kill any man in a very
few games.
Another rule which the coast league
has adopted and also the National
Hockey association is as follows: The
ice will be divided into three equal
parts. In the first section , the goal
tender may pass the puck to any of
his men who are within the section
and the player will not be calledoff
side. This rule governs the goaltender
only. If another player on the same
side passes the puck ahead to a fellow
player an off-side is called and the
puck Is refaced from the spot where
the play started.
Very often a goaltender would shoot
the puck to the side of the net or to
the; front when he was called upon to
clear fast and often it would strike
one of his own men, which would
make it necessary for the referee to
reface the disc Now the goaltender
can watch his chance and by making
a good pass forward can help his team

a lot toward making a break down the
ice and often a goal can be scored.
Coast Accomplishes More.
The Pacific Coast league has ac
complished more by way of speeding
up the game than the National league.
The teams in the Coast league are al
lowed to change their players at any
time so as to have a fresh man in the
game and rest up the men who are
tiring. In the Eastern league the
teams are also allowed to change
their men, but on account of men be
ing replaced when ruled off these
players are hardly ever fresh.
Taking everything into considera
tion the six-man game, while it has
its drawbacks, is the best game for
the small rinks of the east and the
ceven-man game appears to be the
best for tha coast. If the coast played
a six-man game on their large ice
space the puck would be out of play
too much. As a spectacular game the
six-man has it on the seven, but when
it is simmered down to sclentifio
and combination play the seven-man
style 13 in a class by itself for excite
ment and thrills.
