Ther were a great number of sen
sational performances In Northwest
scholastic football ranks during the sea
son of 1317, despite the fact thar many
players enlisted after war was declared.
. In view of this the writer faced a dif
ficult task- In naming this year's All
Northwest mythical eleven, but by com
municating with officials nd critics suc
ceeded In getting a good line on the stars
In practically all sections.
This is tha tbtrd- time a team has
been picked by the writer and more
-Institutions are represented tljis season
than on tha two previous selections. In
1915, seven schools were represented and
last year six cities were honored. This
year, eight have been honored and the
team selected would be a wonder if It
were possible to assemble the players to
gether on one field.
Three Teams Have Two
Portland. Walla Walla and Everett
each have two representatives on the
team. The other Institutions represented
re: Salem, Pendleton, North Central
High of Spokane, Lincoln High of Seat-J
tie and Aberdeen.
Back field stars were abundant in all
Sections, but taking all points Into con
sideration, Yenney of Walla Walla, W.
Dailey of Everett and Casey of Pendle
ton were the players who probably
stood out as the best,
r Yenney Is a good sized player, a good
punter and an exceptionally good man
In passing the ball. He has a faculty of
picking out a player and getting the ball
to him. Dailey has a couple of seasons
of experience behind him. He is the
best running halfback seen in Northwest
tootbajl circles for several years, be
. sides being a good punter and a fair
' passer.
Pendleton Man a Wonder
Casey of Tenjleion Is an all round
player. He In a strong plunger and a
wonder on short end runs. He had a fair
team to help him, which makes his work
more creditable.
Other good back field players were
Badley of tha Franklin . High of Port
land Jlulsey, fulftack of. the Salem, Or.,
High. Garrity and' Mcponald of La
Lirande ; Greene of the Broadway High
sf Seattle; Kckman of the Lincoln High
of Seattle ; Kuckner of the Franklin
High.' Seattle, and Allen of the Colum
bia, university team of Portland. Dan
luls and Tilton of the North Central
High also played consistent football.
Virgil Brown, the heady field leader
of the Franklin, was the most consist
ent of the Quarterbacks and Is assigned
to that position. Throughout the season,
brwa displayed excellent generalship In
directing the Portland champions. Rouse
of North Central was a good quarter
back as was Loomls of the Lincoln High
school of Seattle and Campbell of the
,Bellingham, Wash.. High school. Chet
Rich displayed fine judgment in direct

LEAGUE WILL BE
ORGANIZED HEBE
Semi-Pro Enlistments Will Pre-
vent Revival of Inter-City

Steps to organize a shipbuilders' base
ball league will be taken shortly after
tne first or tha year.
On account of the great number of
semi-pro players having enlisted in the
service It will be practically impossible
to revive the Intercity Baseball league.

in the various local shipbuilding
plants, there are a. number of players
and teams could be lined up ' without (
great difficulty. With big plants at St. I

Salem Bar Is End
Hugo of the Aberdeen, Wash., and Van
Osdel of the Salem high were proo-
ably the two best, end players, although
they were closely pressed for the honors
by Hlckey of the Everett High scnooi
and , Howard of the Jefferson team of 1
Portland.
Tackles were equally as hard to select
as backfield players. Richardson of the
North Central high of Spokane and

strongest, with Brltt. the Evertt star,

Richardson and Clark are both . big
powerful players, being as consistent on
the offensive as on the defensive. Clark
weighs 180 pounds and Richardson, al
though not quite so heavy. Is a won
der. George Varnell, the northwest col
lege football referee, , stated that Rich
ardson was one of the best tackles ever
developed In Spokane.
Sandborg of the Lincoln high of .Se
attle is picked as the other guard. He
is a fairly good sized player and showed
up more consistently than any player In
that position in Seattle.
Lloyd Knapp 6t the Columbia univer
sity team of Portland Is the king pin
center. Knapp weighs 183 pounds. He
is a great passer and a tower of
strength on the defensive. Walters, cen
ter of the Everett team, who weighs 163
pounds, showed up In great form during
the season. Halzlip, center of the Frank
lin high of Portland, and Powers of the
Queen Anne team of Seattle also played
consistently during the season.
Eugene Falls Short
The Eugene high school team has a
couple of good players In its line-up this
season, as did the Forest Grove high.
but It Is not likely that these players
would come up to the standard of those

Alec M. Donaldson, former star end

This Information was contained in a
letter from Donaldson to a Portland
friend.
uonaiason statea tnat he played a
game of football recently against the
Company F team, which was coached
by George Smith, who had been elected
captain of the 1917 University of Wash
lngton team. The game ended in a 0 to
0 score.
Errol Winterbotham, another Port
land boy. is on the Canadian front, ac
cording to Donaldson. Winterbotham
enlisted with the Canadian ' army over
a year ago, but so far Donaldson has
been unable to locate the big Portland
baseball pitcher.
Donaldson stated that Portland pa
pers reach their camp 6nce in a while
and it is just like a bargain-counter
rush to get hold of one.
"It was sure good to get mall from
home, and when it does come it makes
a fellow feel like a fighting cock Tor a

FAMOUS BOXER WHO WILL APPEAR IN PORTLAND
"Mexican Joe Rivers, who meets Joe Benjamin In a six round bout next
Friday night at the Eleventh Street Playbou.se. Riven fought twice
for the world's lightweight championship against Ad YVolgast and Wil
lie Ritchie. It will be his Nrst appearance in the Northwest. Rivers
will arrive here today to finish his training. He is always in good
shape and will require only a little work to shape up. 4
Don't Challenge These Soldiers
Since boxing has become so popular in Uncle Sam's military training camps
there have been several humorous events pulled off in different parts of the
country where some local light who prided himself on his ability aa a boxer
donned the- mittena with the boys In khaki, but the beat of all comes from
Waco. Texas.
One night recently a Waco cm tup with quite local reputation as a sllnger
of mean dukes, announced that he would take on anybody around the camp
and guarantee to teach his man something of the manly art. This Waco
gent was a 200-pounder, but he got quick response, and though hts opponent
waa some 30 or 40 pounds lighter they stripped for action. The Waco whlss
strutted about the ring, with his chest swelled out, and after the first round
h inflated more than ever because the timid youth who had accepted his
challenge did nothing but feint at him a couple of times.
But the second round well, that was something else agal
had removed his khaki suddenly opened up and before the
the Waco tornado was stretched out on the canvaa with
throwing buckets of water on htm. - . . . , .
After a while the big fellow came around and when he got his bearings,
he said: "Holy smoke, who is that guy?"
"Why. that's Packey McKarland. replied somebody at the ringside, 'and
they don't come too big for Packey these days."

Sloman broke his left wrist some time

AFRAID OF
DOUBLE-X
Bill Rourke Steps Up and Tells
Brother Magnates What Is
the Matter With Them.
Xew York. Dec 15. I L N. S.) If
minor league magnates were not
deathly scared of each other they
might be able to get together' some
time knd accomplish things whicn
would ' better conditions everywhere In
the National aasctatlon.
L A few reactionaries in American as
sociation ranks, supported by scatter
ing representatives from other mlno
leagues, attempted to Dave the way
for a plan to redistrtct minor latauruwai
at the recent minor leagues meeting in
Louisville, and the attempt waa a fine
flivver.
Sid 'ot Lack Motives
The magnates who started the move
ment had aelflsh motives) Irv view, it is
true, but they did not lack just mo
tives aa well. for. regardieata of what
dissenting club owners In the Ameri
can association may have said. It is a
known fact that several of them were
prepared to announce at Louisville thu
they did not Intend to open their gatai
in 1918.
The only thing which forced them
to change their minds wa the fear

say this without exception would Jump
at the chance to gut higher rating.
Naturally they do not want to be

tricting of the minors claim that their
franchise would be hurt by association
with cities brought ' up from a class
Just below them and that Interest
among the fans would fall off to an
alarming degree.
The argument- la a good on, nc
doubt, but the fact remains that the
minor leaguea have been losing money
as a whole for the past two or three
years, dating back to the advent of
the Federal, league, and that something
should be done to better conditions.
Mileage Cats tha Profit
Mileage in the minor leagues many
of them, at least la so great, even in
shortened seaaon, that it eats up
profits with alarming nwtftneaa. Over
head expenses In general ought to be
cut down, and this could bo dona if
the minors aa a whole would settle
down for one in their lives and talk
business without flirting -with the
thought that everybody la trying to
double cross everybody else.
The best proof that the minors need
a shaking up was shown in the an
nual report of Secretary John Farrell.
which showed that two years ago I
minor leaguea were operating, while
last season only II played out their
schedules, and that prospects for mora
than eight or ten starting tha season
of 1911 were mighty slim.
Old Bill Bawls 'Zsa
Bill Rourke, president and owner of
the Omaha (Western league) club, hit
the nail on the head at tha meeting
of tha Western league, held in Louis
vuie, when ne saia:
'Why don't you fellows atop kidding
yourselves? You talk like' you have
been making a mint of money, where
In reality you know you're all broke
and will be lucky to finish next
season."
Rourke Is a minor league club
owner who haa been In the game for
a -score of years, and he ought to know
what ha is talking about.

Gay Crusader Is Get of Derby
Winner Quoted at
100 to 1.
You never can tell by the looks of a
racehorse whether he will be successful
on the track or on the stud farm.
There is the case of Bayarflo. the
great English sir of Gay Cruaader.
kingpin of the English turf this year.
When Bayardo waa entered In the
English Derby at I psom Downs several
yeara ago he waa ao poorly considered
by the talent that a price of 100 to 1
was laid against his chances. The fa
vorite was IamaY's Craigenour, which
waa considered the best horse of the
season, and In addition the American
jockey. Johnny Rleff, had the leg np
on the Lvnay mount.
Bayardo was ridden by an English
boy. Coming . down the stretch the
Judge observed Craigenour .running all
over the track. The Ismay horse fin
iahed ahead, but Bayardo'e owner made
protest to the stand on the ground that
Craigenour had "bumped and borad" hts
horse. The Judge thereupon declared
Bayardo winner, and hi long-shot back
ers carried away a errtall fortune from
tne course.
Although he waa not considered a a
future aire, Bayardo haa Justified the
opinion of those turfmen who had faith
In him and the showing of Osy Crusader
haa established his worth.
Princeton university win not have
