.. The victory was a well deserved
one.- At the very outset of the game
it was apparent that Seattle would

OREGON BASKET
QUINTET SANS A
LETTER PLAYER
Absence From Sport for Year
Makes Team Look Pretty
Weak,
T'nl versify of Oregon. Kugene, Dec.
16. For the last, week Oregon's would-
be varsity basket shooters have been
growing used to the feel of the ball.
After the year's rest from the Inter
collegiate gme, the college 1 left
without a letter man around which to
develop a quintet.
The first week has brought forth a
mimber of promising aspirants, but
they are all In the class of little men.
The only hope of recruiting any weight
appears to be from the football squad
and the New Year's game on the pro
gram, the footballers will not be able
to get on the gymnasium floor till the
second week In January.
The season opens Friday of that
week against the Oregon Aggies.
Coach Peidek Is devoting all of his
time to the gridiron and the Indoor
athletes are working out under Trainer
Hayward. So that a more definite line
may be gotten on the material he has
scheduled a series of class games,
starting Monday and reaching the
championship game on Wednesday. The
condensed schedule Is made necessary
by the etart of Christmas vacation.
Tour Xeaa for Forwards.
For the forward positions Farley.
Cate. McCready and Fox appear to be
leading the field. These men gained
their experience In the fraternity
league last year and show reasonable
promise as basket annexers.
As guards, C. Nelson. Sims, Phlpps
and Alexander are showing promise.
When the football duds are finally
stowed awiy Shy Huntington and
brother, Hollis, are counted on to make
a strong bid.
At center, Lorea Roberts appears to
be the only man of class, though needing-an
Increase In speed to equal real
varsity quality. Glenn Dudley had
been counted on for this position, but
the smashing received on the Corvallls
gridiron will probably keep him from
the hard boards till late In the season.
Dudley is the only eligible man in col'
varsity experience. He was
sud center iwo years ago.
At the conclusion of the inter-class
games next week, the coaches will plk
a varsity squad of 12 or 15 on which
to center attention.
Mitt, Mat Card at
Eeed 'Gym' Tonight
Boxlng and wrestling will be the or

Third Set of Chess
Matches On Tonight
The third set of matches In the In-ter-clty
Chess league tournament w-111
be held this evening at the quarters of
the Portland Chesg and Checker club,
in the Washington building annex,
play beginning at 8 o'clock.
The Acacia club quintet will grapple
with the Chamber of Commerce team,
team A, of the Portland Chess and
Checker club, will clash with the West
Siders, and the Multnomah club ex
perts will line up agaln&t team B, of
the Portland Chess and Checker club.
Three of the games In the Vancouver
"southeaster" match were played last
Thursday evening, but the games be
tween Hodgkln and Weisenstein and
between Burnham and Widmer will be
played off this evening.
As the result of a rapid-fire contest
last Thursday evening, D. McMaster,
captain of the Vancouver team, re
turned proudly home bearing the scalp
of the veteran C. S. Arnold, leader of
the "Southeasters." However, a win
secured by Carl of Reed college par
tially offset the prowess of Captain
McMaster, so that a point much de
sired by Portland's "Gretna Green''
will hinge upon the work of Hodgkln
and Burnham this evening.

AGGIES WILL BE
IN RUGBY FIELD
COMING SEASON
English Game Introduced as
Intra-Mural Sport With
Stanford Climax,
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lls, Dec. 16. Rugby football will be
Introduced into the northwest for the
first time next fall when It will take
Its place as an lntra-mural sport at
O. A. C. A game with Stanford uni
versity at Palo Alto on November 10
will be the climax of the season.
The English game will not super
sede or rival American football as a
major fall sport here. Dr. A. D. Browne,
head of the department of physical
education, was careful to emphasize
this point when he made the an
nouncement of next year's plans today.
The adoption of rugby is only an
extension of the new lntra-mural ath
letic program. Teams representing dif
ferent campus organizations will com
pete in a series of games next fall. The
promise of the trip south is expected
to stimulate Interest in these inter
organlzation contests. At the close
of the college season a first team will
be selected for the game with the Cali
fornia institution. This same plan was
tried this fall with soccer, the final
games with Oregon university serving
as a reward for the season's work.
No trouble is expected in making up
several strong teams. Many men with
high school experience in the game
are In college and with these veterans
as a nucleus a number of squads can
be built up.
The O. A. C. team will meet the
Stanford men at Palo Alto on Novem
ber 10, Just one week after the Santa
Clara-Stanford game. The California
college will pay the expenses of the
visiting team. There. Is a possibility
that the Multnomah club may organize
a team and in that case games may b
arranged with the for the college
aggregation.

tate the marking of race birds, with a
small charge being made which will

three prizes, one for the old birds
making the fastest time, and one for
the winner making the slowest veloc
ity, this proviso being for the bird

prize is to go to the owner of the loft
showing the best average speed for

past few years Molalla has failed to
check up a victory against the Colle
gians. Tomorrow Mt. Angel expects to
add another game to her past victories.
The line-up for th Collegians has
not as yet been decided. It probably
will be Classic, Portland lad, and Nat
Schanedllng, former Lincoln high star
as the forwards, and Kasberger and
Pashek, both from The Dalles, as
guards. The dark horse of the sea
son, William Spear of Seaside, has
cinched the center position. He is con
sidered one of the best college centers
that has traveled on the college floor.

Save the Farm, You
Can See Series Now
Chicago, Dec. 16. (I. N. S.) Base
ball fans will not have to mortgage

scries, indicates action taken yester
day by the American league magnates
at their regular winter meeting. A de
cision was reached that In the future
all world's championship games would
be played at double the price of usual
admissions, which will mean that a
"place in the sun" on the bleachers
will cost 50 cents, pavilion seats $1
and a grandstand seat 11.50. Box
seats will cost $5 each.
It Is believed that the National
league will concur In the action taken
by the American league. Only Charles
H. Ebbetts of Brooklyn Is expected to
raise a howl. It Is said that the ac
tion taken at yesterday's meeting prin
cipally was because of Ebbetts' price
raising last autumn.
A rule was made against players
writing articles for newspapers ur
magazines.

pears to be a chance, however, for

Miller Hugglns. inventor of the system
of trading a spavin for an eye, left tha
city some time ago. Plainly he had
become overwhelmed by the tactics of
other magnates in wanting to hold
onto their good ball players and decid
ed there was no use of sticking around.
He tried hard to trade Jack Miller to
eome one, but none would offer enough.
so Jack is sentenced to St. Louis for
another summer, on the face of pres
ent returns.
Charles H. Weeghman, president of
the Cubs, and Fred Mitchell, new man
ager of the Chicago club, admitted
they were trying to get some one to
turn loose a flock of players, but up to
a late hour every one had been warned
and Mitchell was having little success,
Three Phillies were sought by the Cuba
In exchange for a hatful of Bruins, but
there was nothing doing. Pat Moran
said the trade was impossible, and
Mitchell was forced to admit it after
he had gone through a long over-thj-teacups
session with the leader of the
Phillies. Mitchell would take Pttchet
Demaree and either Daubert or Merkle,
If he could.

Barney Dreyf uss almost fainted when
he heard that some one had talked
