Tha plrit of reform waa certainly
abroad In the coast and northwest in-
t tercolleglate conferences Thursday
?and Friday. Not only did the coast
conference adopt all, and the north
jrst conference all but ohe, of the
r I faculty recommendations from the
' - University of Oregon, but In at least
-. -two cases the northwest conference
Swent further than the Eugene-ecom-
-mendatlons.
!v The 'single recommendation that
"'failed to pass the- northwest confer
enee was the one year- residence rule,
to which three conference members are
- 'aid to have been opposed. As for the
- others:
The University of Oregon recently
J Yuled that Oregon's delegation to the
iJorthwest conference should hereafter
Me chosen by the president from the
v faealty, and recommended to the other
j- conference members that they send
'faculty representation. Oregon did not
' stipulate, however, that the delegate"
casting its vote must not be a coach
Or trainer. At Oregon both Coach Bez
- - lek and . Trainer Hayward have full
-1 faculty standing.
- . Tacnlty Kimlir to Vote.
The northwest conference legislated
As follows: "Each Institution shall be
represented In meetings of the confer-
.." ence by a faculty member who is not
- commercially Interested in athletics,
and who shall cast the vote of his in
stitution; and, if desired, by not rnore
. than two other persons."
The University of Oregon, in its
athletic legislation of about a month
ago, abolished Oregon's pre-season
-: --training damp and recommended sim
ilar abolition to the other conference
members. The conference legislated:
jTNo football training shall be indulged
Trlfir tn 5Nntmtwr 1 &nH fhn nnlv
Jnpon'the campuses of the respective
institutions."
. Out-Oregons Oregon.
The University of Oregon prohibited
jwscoutlng, and defined scouting as the
isrffering of inducements to any stu
dent to become a prospective, member
f an athletic squad. The conference
Kt only prohibited scouting, but being
"dissatisfied with the Oregon defini
tion, specified various acts, such as
.correspondence between coachee and
.naitagers 'with prospective athletes,
-nd the bringing: of athletes to visit
or compete upon campuses at univer
sity or student body expense. Prohi
bition of these acts was urged upon
J1 the conference faculties.
The freshman rule was not adopted
y the University of Oregon but was
Yeeommended to the conference. Wash
ington also came instructed for the
freshman rule, and O. A. C. was en
tirely favorable. While the northwest
conference failed to pass tt, the coast
(Conference was a unit for it.
-. - AU Schedules Are Open.
-t Another manifestation of the trend
.toward reform was the reoommenda-.tion-
that each conference faculty send
Its delegates empowered to approve
-schedules. Hereafter, by conference
legislation at this Fession. all sched
ules are to be sAmitted in open meet
ing for everyone's inspection.
The conference was not two hours
,, Old before a charged atmosphere be
came apparent. There waa little beck
oning out of delegates this year; there
were few whispered conversations
. there were scarcely and sudden sl--lauces
when third persons passed; there
was almost no disposition to "put
things over." and the general spirit
of openness, frankness and lack of
secrecy was considered largely re
sponsible for the conference's getting
over many rough places without a
split.
An evidence of this was the fact

that formation of the new coast con
ference did rot disrupt the northwest
conference. In part the quickness of
the coast conference in issuing a state
ment of aims and Intentions was re
sponsible. The various schools are believed to
have pone home from this conference
with few sorepots. and with a gen
eral feeling of satisfaction with the
schedules and terms.
George M. Varnell, the widely known
football referee, and sporting editor
of the Spokane Chronicle, has always
been known as plain George. He went
borne from the northwest conference
with a nickname. "Stump" Stott gave
it to him. Hereafter Mr. Varnell is
to be known as "Father." His priestly
appearance is responsible.
Behrens, one of the two Stanford del
egates, remained in town until today
and will go to Seattle before return
ing to Paio Alto. He says the invita
tion of the new coast conference to
Stanford will be presented to the stu
dent body in the most favorable light
po&sible.
Northwest football circles do not re
alize the depth of the hostility be
tween Stanford and California. But
for the new coast conference, relations
between them would probably have re
mained strained for years. As it is,
the influence of the three northern
schools may now serve to smooth,
over the difficulties.
A new idea in adjusting conference
difficulties wa3 adopted by the coast
conference. An advisory committee of
two, who are officers of the con
ference, are to be final arbiters
Rosenblatt
. . i
of disputed points. The members for
the next year are Professor Mllnor
Roberts, dean of the school of mines
of the University of Washington, and
Professor A. P. Cordley. dean of agri
culture at O. A. f. The conference
unhesitatingly gave them final author
ity because of their personal standing
as faculty members.
Carl Getz, who represented the Uni
versity of Montana, is a fbrmer em
ploye of the United Press and Is now
professor of journalism at Montana.
He is a graduate of the University of
Washington.
Rich Man Enlists in Army.
John Wren, an Australian racing
man, who recently enlisted in Mel
bourne aa a private. Is stated to be
one of the richest men in the common
wealth of Australia- Besides con
trolling three race courses In Mel
bourne, he has others In Queensland,
and recntly purchased a daily news
paper in Brisbane. He also controls
boxing stadiums in Melbourne, Syd
ney and Brisbane.
France Reduces Stake Values.
Next year in France the Grand Prix
prize stakes, one of the chief turf
events, will be worth 200,000 francs.
Instead of 3 00,000, as previous to the
war. The Prix de Diane and the Prix
Royal Oak are to be cut down from
60,000 francs to SO, 000 francs; the
Poule d'Essai and, other plattes are
also to.be 10,000 francs lower than
betQre the war.
If in doubt as to size
buy a Merchandise Bond.

BASKET TOSSERS
TO GATHER WITH
HARRY FISCHER
Plans for Season at Multno
mah Club Will Be Dis
cussed. Multnomah club basketball players
will gather In the club gymnasium
this morning around Harry Fischer,
chairman of the basketball commit
tee, and when he gives them the word,
they will elect a captain for this sea
son. Ray Toomey, the only regular cf
last season's squad, who Is back in
harness this season, will likely be
named captain.
Prospects for a winning combina
tion at the club this season are very
bright. Among the playe-ra who will
turn out are: Sharp, Rossman and
Iewis, forwards; Brooks and Edwards,
centers, and Toomey, Twining, Dewey,'
Hummel ani Hauser, guards. Bill
Twohy may also report for a tryou.
The team this season will be the
lightest the club has ever had, and It
will also be one of the fastest.
No definite dates have been secured
by Manager Fischer as yet. The Uni
versity of California team will pjiy
In the north this year, and It Is likely
that a game can be arranged for the
local team. Whitman college and O.
A. C. will also play the club team If
satisfactory dates can be arranged.
The Oswego, N. Y., team is going to
make a tour on the coast this year, and
If It reaches Portland a game will be

All-star football teams a re the rage,
so here's another myhs ,il eleven. The
uimnrtant wealth of high and "Tireii"
school football material in the north
west mak.;s the selecting of a team dif
ficult. There Were any imml.tr of
food halfbacks and ends, and trreat
many of them showed promise of de
veloping Into college stars.
Getting down to the selections: For
center, Davis, the big 206 pound center
of the Albany, Or., high, is the logical
flayer for the position. He has every
thing that a center needs, besides be
ing fairly fast The guards are the
hardest to pfcek. because their work is
noticed less than that of anv other.
George Busch, of the Lincoln high, of
Portland, because of his great strength
and aggressiveness, could not be left
out of any team. It Is believed that
George will develop Into a better play
er than hi brother. Frank, who Is at
Whitman college. Langrell, at Baker,
is another great guard. Hurd. of Ho
quiam, Adams of Aberdeen, Scherrer
of The Dalles are other guards who
ehowed up well during the past season.
Portland Qeta Tackles.
Two Portland players, Mike Bloch,
of Colilmbia, and Ozbun Walker, of
Washington hicrh, are without a doubt
the class of the tackles. These two
players are aggressive, and their long
experience at playing at tackle makes
them . more valuable than any other
players in those positions. Lyke, of
Lverett, Williams of Salem, Newman
of Eugene and Inglebritzen of Aber
deen, played consistent ball at the
tacltle positions.
Miller, of Albany, and Narrance. of
HoQuiam, are the ends. Miller, who
tips the beam at 178 pounls, has all
that a flanker needs. He Is fast and
krlbws how to break up Interference.
Narrance, of Hoquiam. was named
only after much consideration. Elton,
at The Dalles, Calligan of Everett,
Sulllvant of the North Central high of
Spokane, and J. Murphy of Columbia
are about on a par with Narrance.
Narrance has one advantase over the
othor players, and that is his ability to
punt.
Knrphy Leading Pivot.
Eugene Murphy, of i.'olutiilda, is the
logical player for fjuarterback. He Is
cool and a good field general. Dalley,
cf Everett, is nf. to Murphy, and
Grosvenor, of Saler-i. looms up txong.
Pinckney, of 'Aberdeen, and Ska Jan,
of North Central high of Spokane, are
the two best halfbacks. These two
stars are fast, and can buck the line
as good as any high school stars ever
developed in the northwest. Cowan, of
Paker, dr., htgb, McGinnls of La
Grande, Colin of Lewis and Clark high,
Spokane. Strowbridge of Washington
high, Portland. A. Dalley of the Ev
erett high. Allen of Columbia univer
sity, Wolfer ef Jefferson high. Port
land, Lyons of Aberdeen and Oliver of
Lincoln high, Portland, are halfbacks
who played great football for their re
rpective teams during the season, "but
none was ijuite up to the games of
Pinckney and Skadan.
Steers Class of fullbacks.
