LINCOLN HIGH FOOTBALL COACH AND CHIEF; AIDE
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or.,
Sept. 11. After eight days In the
wilds surrounding the city of Florence
cn the north tank of the Sluslaw
river, Coach Hugo Bezdek with his
squad of Krldiron candidates arrived
In Kusene thia evening prepared and
seasoned to take up ttie long foot
ball campaign now pending. The trip
to Florence served its purpose Inas
much an it revealed the fact that
Oregon la liable to be minus the serv
ices of a veteran back field the old
trio, Parsons, Hryant and Malarkey
are through with the game for good
if prenent statements Issued by each
are to be taken as sincere.
Bryant arrived in Florence yester
day only to stay for an hour of two.
He was on his way "down river"
whre he has accepted a position with
the government on the jetty projects
at the mouth of the Sluala.
Parsons l.s still in Portland and
when last heard from he stated that
his chances to return to college were
remote.
Malarkey will play if he can get
thn consent of his parents Hnd a doc
tor or two. He has one show in a
thousand ti do so.
Btidek races Tough Task.
Taking It for granted that tho "old
timers" have had better days and that
thy will not bo seen in action in the
season to come, then Coach Bezdek
has a mighty job on his hands the
whipping together of a backfield which
will be as finished as the set now in
tlie discards. However, as gloomy as
might be the prospect, the Oregon
mentor is In no manner discouraged
or ready to say that he is beaten,
for back of all the disaster there Is
hope in the fact that "Shy" Hunt
ington, Hosklns, Morfitt, Lyle Blgbee,
Montelth and Bob Mnlarkey, plus the
possibilities that other candidates, not
7yet reporting, may, be the nucleus
: around which Oregon will show
stronger than ever before In the posi
tions back of thq line. .

Blacksmith Cossman, If he shows
an well aa he did against the Aggies,
will undoubtedly be stationed at cen

booked to an end position if present
plans nursed by Coach Bezdek ar fol
lowed. "Zelp" Snyder, a veteran of sopho
more rating, is again in college and
looking better than ever. Snyder will
have little difficulty In holding his
place. Although Sam Cook has been
. silent as to his exact whereabouts,
it is known that he will again register
at Oregon; Cook Is somewhere in the
woods of Idaho serving as a fire
warden and Is looked to make Eugene
" early In the coming weeK.
Jifhnny Beckett, tired of harvest

Weist lives In Kansas City and has
written that he hardly expected to be

Oregon squad will have the services
of Mitchell, Tegert, Rlsley, now In
camp, and other candidates who will
be placed on the extremities If Bezdek
deems them fit.
"Cholly" Johns a freshman from
Portland may be shifted to an out-
side position and given a thorough
trial; Johns is a big youngster and
has possibilities. In the same clasB
with Johns is Hosklns, of Bcho. This
freshman possesses a world of ambi
tion, a strong frame and enough en
thuslasm to learn and play the game
as he Is coached. Hosklns is green
more than green, but he looks all to
the good.
Tea, But Who Shot Xt?
Bill Hayward. Captain Cornell and
"TlckT Malarkey arrived In Kugene
last evening, one day ahead of their
squad members, while here BUI took
out enough time to tell various exper
iences or the camp and thinks the
biggest feat of all was the deer that
be, Besdek and a guide bagged on a
hunting trip last Tuesday.
"The boys had lots of venison after
that trip," stated the crack coach of
track teams. "The stay at Sluslaw
was a success," he added, "and I think
. iiiw uu,, are in, tnose who made it."
Captain Cornell, when Interviewed
this afternoon said:
"There is no use talking, our stock
Is coming up. I just heard that Beck-
ett WOld be here and have everv rea.
son to believe that Cook will be pres
ent In .addition Blgbee, Montelth and
Huntington are already on the Job.
Prospects look a whole lot better than
they did, but we have an awful fight
ahead of us."
Just two weeks from today, Besdek's
favorite will usher in the season
against' the Multnomah club team of
Portland a the local lot. This is the
rinst trip that ' the clubmen have
signed for In Kugene In some 15 years

Miss Bergljot Hovde.
Here is a new record for the fair
natators to shoot at. It was made In
Oswes-o lake Labor day by Miss Bergl
jot Hovde, a 19-year-old Norwegian
girl. She swam the length of the lake,
some three miles. In 2 hours and 45
minutes, which is quite a record In
still water for a woman.
Miss Hovde, Who was born at Hamar.
Norway, and who has made her home
In Portland for three years, has been
swimming since she was a mere child
She did not try to establish a record in
time, but was merely trying to swim
the lengtn or the lake.
Miss novae made her start at 1
o'clock, and did not stop to rest until
she had finished the distance. She
used the side, breast and back stroke.
She thinks she can make better time if
she attempts to swim the lake again.
The women who took part In the recent
three-mile Marathon Jn the Willamette
finished, around two hours, but they
bad the advantage of swimming with
the current.".
Accompanying Miss Hovde in a row

been summering at Oswego Lake.

from California yesterday.

"Owing to the fact that the fraah-

teams. The men are very fst but

Hard scrimmage Is on the pro

Captain Rupert will ' put the en

The full squad is expected out for
the first time .today. A number of
new men are .also expected to report.
Halfback Oilman, who played on the

time that Patsy O'Rourke did, will
report to Rupert for the first time
today. Chuck Taylor and Walter
Keck, two of last season's players,
will also make their initial appear

The "Winged M." captain is much
pleased with the showing made by
his players during the two night
practices held last week. On Tues
day only a few players reported,
but on Thursday night 14 of them
answered the call.
Good punters will be plentiful again
this 'season. Besides the old favorite,
Walter Keck, their Is Witt, the Min

New York. Sept. 11. (I. N. S.)
Along about the sixth round of the
exhibition between Packey McFarland
of Chicago and Mike Gibbons of St.
Paul down at Brighton Beach tonight,
a loud voice rose from a ringside seat
and let forth a roar that reverberated
up and back and far out over the blg
pest crowd that ever saw a fistic
event in America,
"Gents," said the man, hoarsely,
"this is a grand picture show but I
came to see a fight."
And from the murmur that respond
ed to his cry it was apparent that
many others present echoed these sen
timents. The McFarland-Gibbons affair may
have been a fair boxing exhibition and
certainly It contained nothing that i
could offf;rld the finer feelings of any
of the thousands of women present,
but as a fight it was not much. It
was a ten round, no decision affair
and o,deifstt)n would be about correct
if a decision- must. given.a draw
Is not fnftT(Hher -man.
Mq. Damage to Either.
They were both on their feet and
fighting at the finish. There had been I
no damage inflicted on either side and '
neither man had, a distinctive advan
tace at any stage of the conflict.
Perhaps McFarland should have the
decision, for the showing that Mike
Gibbons made as compared to his pre
vious form, especially when it is con
sidered that the Chicagoan was doing
a comeback after two years' retire
ment, was boxing a man reputed to
bo one of the greatest fighters in the
world and for the reason that Mike
should have done better, but all things
considered it was an even proposition.
It was in many ways a big disappoint
ment, an long as it Is remembered by
the sporting world there will undoubt
edly be many who will claim that It
was "one of those things," as matches
made with a previous understanding
as to the result are called by sporting
men, but there is no way of proving it.
The charge has been openly made by
a recognized authority for weeks past
that the men would not try tonight,
and there has even been a rumor
around to the effect that McFarland
had made Gibbons put up a cash de
posit with a mutual friend in Chicago
to guarantee against a knockout, but
here again is something that cannot
be substantiated.
' Oibbons Weeded Knockout.
There are always rumors of this
kind going around before a big match
and perhaps the only result that would
have prevented criticism of the affair
tonight would have been a knockout
by Gibbons. Certainly a knockout by
McFarland would have been looked at
askance and it may be the men were
trying desperately.
Packey Has a Shade.
The complaints of the crowd be
came more pronounced as the men
v?ent through the early stages of the
fifth.
In that round, however, Gibbons let
loose a left that looked to be about
the hardest punch that had been started
but It did no daman. The old rip and
pash of the St. Paul man was en
tirely missing. Mike has fought some
corking fights around New York and
some bad ones, but up to the fifth he
showed none of the class that he In
dubitably possesses when he Is truing. I
The same might be said of McFarland.
Never a hard puncher or knocker-out, j
he has nevertheless displayed much i
more form than he displayed in the
early rounds tonight. McFarland had
a Bhade in the fifth, however, because
he did most of the leading.
It was about the first round that
could reasonably be given to either
man.
In the sixth McFarland hit Gibbons
a little low. but apologized. There was
u close exchange in McFarland's cor
ner, but the blows that landed fell on
elbows. Mike missed badly In this
round, but he"opened an old cut under
his right eye.
McTarland Is "Weary,
In the seventh blood showed over
Gibbons' left eye and trickled down bis
nose. He had evidently been butted.
Whenever they clinched the referee
wiped the blood off of Packey's shoul
ders. Packed seemed a bit weary from
the exertion and it was Mike's round.
There seemed to be more drive to
his punches during this session than
before. In the eighth Gibbons missed
with both hands. In fact, the story
would have to be a narrative of misses
If an attempt were made to detail
every lead. Blows with which Gibbons
has knocked, men .cold from a distance
of six Inches, fell .without apparent
weight upoif 'Packey'shead.
