RUMOR AGGIES PLAN TO
TAKE OREGON CONTEST
FROM PORTLAND FANS
; C?rvalli$ May Get Annual Football Championships as It Is Col
lege's Turn to Pick Playing Field No Varsity Games Are
Scheduled for Multnomah Field for Fall Season.
OREGON'S football classic of 1918 the annual contest
between the University of Oregon and the Oregon Ag
ricultural college elevens will not be played in Port
land next Thanksgiving day.
. Information to this effect was received from an authori
tative source and, if true, it means that Portland will be with
out a big game next fall.
Although the game has been tentatively scheduled for
Portland, the Oregon Agricultural college has the' right to
name the place where the game will be played, and at the
meeting of the Northwest conference managers in Spokane
last December, representatives of the Corvallis institution
were unable to state definitely what their decision would be.
The contest with the University of
Washington is the only game the
Aggies have, scheduled for their
campus and should It be decided to
play the Oregon game at Corvallis It
la quite likely the Washington pime
will be played In Portland. The
Aggies have a game scheduled with
Jerry Nissen's -University of Mon
tana team, but where that game will
bo played has not been decided.
The Montana team Is anxious to
schedule the game In Portland.
The contract for the 1917 game
between the two state Institutions
was for one year, and whether it
will be continued will be a bit of
pewa to all local football folloVers.
Oregon and Club Together
Should . the Aggies decide to play
tho game, at Corvallis, the Univers
ity of Oregon and the Multnomah
. Amateur Athletic club will resume
their two game a year contract.
Should tho Oregon Agricultural college-Oregon
game be played at Cor
vallis on Thanksgiving day it is
likely that the Multnomah club will
attempt to schedule a game with
some other college team or the
Camp Lewis all-stars for next fall.
It has been reported that the game
scheduled between the Washington
State college and the University of
Southern California has been can
celled, and if Multnomah cannot ar
range to play Oregon In Portland
on Thanksgiving day it is likely
that. an effort will be made to sched
ule a contest with the Pullman team
on that date.
Games for Early Season
In view of tho fact that Portland
is not assured of any college foot
ball games the Multnomah club
may schedule Its annual early sea
son games with tho University of
Oregon und tho Oregon Agricultural
college on its own field if they are
willing.
A. It. Tiffany, graduate manager
of the, University of Oregon, In reply
to a wire from The Journal, stated :
"Sorry, to learn O. A. C. expects to
play gamo at Corvallis instead of
. Portland, it is their year to name
the place, but we hoped they would
agree with us that ' Portland would
be tho best. Was not able to get
definite answer at conference."
There is little argument against
he fact that Portland is the logical
placa to stage the game. . Conditions

lasj fall prevented the record break
ing attendance that was expected,
but it is a fact that if the game, were
played here two or three years in
succession it would be one of the
biggest gridiron attractions on the
Pacific coast.
The paid admissions on Thanks
giving day amounted to a little over
$2000, but had the weather been
favorable, there Is no doubt that a
record crowd would have been pres
ent. Members of the alumni of both in
stitutions are In favor of playing the
game In Portland, and Tiffany's
message indicates that Oregon wants
to play the game In Portland. For
several years the school that Btaged
the games has not made money, but
no more, unless under most favor
able conditions, was made on the
campus.
Turn Abont in Views
The present opinions of the two in
stitutions are diametrically opposite
to what they were a few years ago,
when the athletic authorities at Cor
vallis tried vainly to schedule the
games in Portland. At that time
Oregon held out for a big campus
game each year, the argument being
advanced that the business men of
Eugene demanded it, and that the
expense to the students was too
heavy to have them come to Port
land to see the blue-ribbon event of
tho gridiron season.
Upon Oregon's stand in the matter,
the games resolved themselves into
campus contests, and they alternated
several years between the two col
lege towns, after resumption of ath
letic relations on neutral Albany
field. The petty quarrels ofkudents
that disrupted relations a few years
back are thought of no more, and re
lations are of the kindliest consist
ent with ordinary college rivalry.
Faas Hope They'll Return
It was hoped in Portland that the
two colleges would see the light and
begin to build up the gamo here as
a drawing card, and it was thought
the start was made last season. It
is generally conceded that it takes
two or three years to make football
return big gates in somewhat strange
territory. ' The field is here, and the
accommodations are such that can
not be given the volume of visitors
in towns of the size of Eugene and
Corvallis.
G. TYLER SHOULD
BE A WINNER
FOR CHICAGO
Cubs Made Good Deal by Land
ing Veteran Southpaw of
Boston Braves.
The Cubs made a good deal when they
got George Tyler from Boston.
Tyler, working with Alexander,
Vaughn, Douglas and the younger mem
bers of Fred Mitchell's pitching staff,
should be a pillar of strength to the
Chicago club, for he is the sort of a
pitcher who can win with just the aver
age support behind him and, best of
all, from a Cub viewpoint, he is a left
hander.
Tew Good Ones
There are only a few really depend
able southpaws In the National
compared to the number of right hand-
era wno nave strangle holds on their
Jobs. And Tyler and Vaughn are of this
class. Tyler Is no youngster in so far
as major league experience goes, for he
has been a member of the Braves, In
cluding the season of 1917, since 1910,
when he came up from the Lowell club!
Hia record for the eighth season spent
with the Braves shows that he lost more
games than he won, so far as grand to
tals go, but he was handicapped by be
ing a member of a loser most of the
time, and., the won and lost columns of
a pitcher with a losing club do not
show his true value.
Record Is Fair
Tyler has won a total of 94 games of
baseball since he busted into the big
show, and the records charge him with
102 defeats. The records also show that
he is a good, substantial workhorse, for
in every campaign In which he has taken
pari ne nas pitched In better than 30
games a season with but one exception.
Up to three years ago Tyler's main
trouble was wlldness. But for the past
three seasons he has been getting 'em
over In better form, for where he unnl
to hand out a hundred or more passes
in a summer, ne nag succeeded in cut
ting the yearly total down nearly 20
per cent.-

BALL GAME
IN SERVICE
BIG SPORT
Army and Naval Camps Have an
Abundance of Material From
Majors, Minors, Colleges.
MEW YORK, Jan. 19. It seems to be
an undisputable fact that the great
est baseball league ever seen will be In
operation next summer in the United
States.
Professional and amateur baseball
probably will be rolled together Jn one
big mass m national army and national
guard camps; naval training stations,
and naval reserve stations.
One naval reserve station seems well
qualified without further comment to
take the championship of the entire
armed forces. At the Charlestown navy
yard, Boston, Jack Berry, Chick
Shorten, Ernie Shore, Harold Janvrln.
Walter Maranvflle and other big league
luminaries are spending their time.
Stuffy Mclnnte, Philadelphia's wonder-first-baseman,
and Dick Hoblitzel. Bos
ton first sacker, have given notice that
they intend going to the same place.
Gowdy May Be "There"
Hank Gowdy is among the soldiers in
the Ohio National guard and the chances
are he will be in Europe before time
comes to play baseball. Jim Scott also
is In the army, being a first lieutenant
at Camp Lewis.
But the big leaguers probably will
find their accustomed places in the lime
light usurped to a certain extent in the
army, for the amateurs are going to
carry more weight with the people. Lads
who never played baseball to any great
extent are going to try their hands at
blossoming into stars.
Fortune Spent on Equipment
The Clark Griffith Bat and Ball fund
and efforts of the two . big leagues, are
going to make the camp and naval base
ball possible. Thousands of dollars have
been spent for Equipment to be placed in
the camps, and. already much of it has-
been put to a good use. In the southern
camps ' baseball has . been possible
through most of. the chilly months. The
northern cam rs will get into action
later. '
The National Jeague has eaulDDed sev
eral warsblps at its own expense with
baseball paraphernalia, and the men
aboard these defenders of the nation are
not only enjoying the game themselvs,
but are taking it into Kngland for their
recreation periods. -

NOT TO VIE
WITHU.OFC.
'Indiana Eleven Refuses to Come:
Away Out West for Game j
With Blue and Gold. !
NOTRE DAME will not play the Uni
versity of California football team
at Berkeley next fall.
This announcement was made by Act
ing Graduate Manager Frederick P.
Booth, following the receipt of a pies-1
sage from Head Coach Andy Smith, who 1
conducted negotiations with the Indiana!
Ipstitutlon officials.
The refusal of Notre Dame to come
west- means that California will feature
its contest with either the University of
Oregon or the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. Oregon Is billed to play at Berke
ley November 2, and the Aggies at
Berkeley November 16.
31 ay Play With U. of W.
The University of Washington's with
drawal from the Pacific Northwest
Intercollegiate conference may result In
a second game with the Blue and Gold
next year. California and Washington
will play in Seattle next Thanksgiving
day, but Blue and Gold football follow
ers are anxious to see the Washlng
tonlans play every year and for that
reason it may be possible that a second
game to be played in Berkeley will be
arranged.
"Doc" Stewart, coach of the University
of Nebraska football team, is negotiat
ing for a game with California, but in
view of the fact that November 2 is the
only open date on the Cornhuskers"
schedule, there Is no chance of the game
being arranged, as Berkeley is billed to
play Oregon on that date.
Nebraska Hay Come
November 2 Is an open date on the
University of Washington schedule and
it may be possible that
Stewart will
succeed in his effort to line up a game
with the Puget Sounders. Washington
State college will play Nebraska at Lin
coln, Neb., October 26.
"Doc" Stewart may rightfully be
called the king of schedule makers. For
next fall at Nebraska he has arranged
games with teams from practically all
part of the country. Syracuse. Wash
ington State college, Northwestern uni
versity. Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
Stewart always was a "bear" of a
schedule maker. When he was coach of
the Oregon Agricultural college, he ar
ranged long schedules' and with the
strongest teams.
To Plek Coaeh In Fall
The selection, of a coach to succeed
William H. Diets of the Washington
State college will not be made until
early next fall. Several have been men
tioned as successors to the famous In
dian, but according to word from Ath
letic Director Bohler of Washington
State college no appointment will be
made at the present time.

Jess Willard Won Championship
and $10,000 Worth of Debts
in Ring at Havana.
CHICAGO. Jan. 19. Jes Willard may
or may not defend his title in a
benefit bout with Fred Fulton or some
other opponent. His offer to do so,
however, has served to yank Jess into
the spotlight.
All the publicity given the offer has
not been favorable. Many scribes have
panned Jess for what they declared was
t a scheme to grab publicity. The sln-
cerity of Wlllard's offer has been Im
pugned by sports writers from all points
of the compass. .

One veten Chicago writer, however.
believes Jess Is sincere. ' He does not
Vgree with the champion's critics and
says their point of view is unfair.
"JustJifter Jess Willard had squelched

says the Chicago veteran. " If thla big
fellow never does another thing. ftne
writer declared, he should always re

American people."
"That was three years ago.
' Bpsrarf to Attack 8r heme
"The other day Willard came out
with a proposition to engage in a 10-
round contest, the whole of the proceeds
to go to the Red Cross or some other
war fund. No sooner had the papers
announced the Willard plan than people
began to attack the scheme, saying he
had made tbe orfer simply as a mat
ter of press work to boost himself into
popularity with the American people.
"The viewpoint was narrow and un
fair.
"Willard offered to give all o his end
of the money to a war fund. One of
the leading heavyweights who accepted
the offer said he would give only half
ot his end. as the remainder would be
required to pay necessary expenses of
training.

TWO GAMES
A WEEK AT

Pacific Coast International Mag
nates Discuss Plan of Play
ing Soldier Team.
SEATTLE. WASH.. Jan. 19. Captains
T. G. Cook and L. A. Watalett, the
former Camp Lewis athletic director
and the latter a company commander
and former owner of the Victoria North
western league franchise, today ex
pressed their approval of the Blewelt
plan for Camp Iewls baseball.
In a modified form It Is to be put
to the commander of the cantonment
and the war department for accept
ance. If accepted team of the Pa
cific Coast Intornatlonal league, as the
Northwestern. Is now known, win play
at Camp Lewis twice a week against tho
crack team which the cantonment U
expected to have next spring.
Provisions Gone Over
The provisions were gone over thor
oughly at a conference at the Seattle
hotel In which Captains Cook and Wat
alett Joined with the club owners and
president of the Pacific Coast Inter
national. While at least some of the
men now In camp will probably be
gone before another spring and sum
mer rolls around, still there will be
some fine material there undoubtedly.

The circuit as organized by the mag
nates last night will probably go
through. The Butte club will be run
If the league has to put In new owners,
according to the word given out. The
Great Falls club, because' of its In
debtedness, to . the league, a matter of
about, $1400. forfeits its franchise, and
that opened the place for Portland to
step in. Robert Brown, president of
the Vancouver club, was appointed a
committee of one with full power to act.
to visit Butte and either start the
present club going again or arrange
for other local parties to take over the
franchise.
MeCredie Is Chairman
The schedule meeting will be held
early In March. Judge MeCredie will
be chairman of the committee, with two
other magnates to assist him. The
Judge is recognized as a schedule ex
pert, and his talents will be put to
work.
Tfie magnates were decidedly opti
mistic over the prospects for the com
ing season. They see nothing but suc
cess ahead. Bob Brown announced
that he would play afternoon games
Wednesday and Saturday in Vancouver
and twilight games Tuesday. Thurs
day and Friday. In that manner he
expects to be able to derive full bene
fit from the thousands of shipyard
workers In British Columbia. Wednes
day in Canada is a half holiday the
year around, whila Saturday is simi
larly affected in many businesses.
To Flay Twilight Ball
The twilight problem was tried out
by the Amateur league In Vancouver
last summer after the Northwestern
league had suspended, and worked out
admirably.
The crowds were first class and the
league ended with a balance of over
J1500 in the treasury.
The Vancouver magnate's plan struck
the other owners forcibly and It would
not be surprising if more of the clubs
tried it. arranging for special transpor
tation from the shipyards should It
prove advisable. Russ Hall, MeCredie
and Dugdale all listened attentively to
Brown's plan. The expected dif
ference between' Blewett and Brown
did not arise. Brown had bn quoted
extensively in the north as being ready
to start something. These two sat Ulo
by side through much of the confer
ence and there was hardly a verbal
battle between them.
i Managers Earned
While none 6f the magnates was pre
pared to state Just who would lead his
team -during the coming season. It
seemed probable from remarks they
dropped that there would be few
changes. Pug Bennett may not be en
ticed back to Vancouver as he h
fine position with one of tbe local ship
yards, but Nick Williams at Spokane,
Tealey Raymond at Tacoma and Bnl
Leard at Seattle are believed to be sure
to be back. With Paddy Siglin handling
the Portland club, the Vancouver and
Butte teams are the only ones needing
managers. Herb Hester will land In
Butte, It is said, while Bob Brown Is
going to start scefutlng at once. Brown
Intends to stick by his Insurance game,
which is developing rapidly, and bare a
manager in fall charge on the field
while the ruddy haired one watches the
finances. The meeting adjourned late
this afternoon after having been in ses
sion for three days.

New York. Jan. 18. (I. N. 8.) Box
ing commissions in states where such
bodies art required by the law would
do well to keep a weather ee on the
doings of the Wisconsin commission.
The commissioners who govern boxing
In the Badger state are doing ererytalmc
in ti-.eir power to oplift the game. They
are aggressive and they have made
tullngs which apply to clubs, promoters
and boxers throughout ths state, who
most live up to them or suffer, ths eon
sequences.
To Forfeit Money
The most recent rule mads by the
Wisconsin commission should go a long
way toward preventing stalling ths ring.
The boxing solons have decreed that
In the future any boxer found guilty
of shamming in the ring shall forfeit
his share of the purse and ths money be
handed over to soma worthy charity.
A clause to this effect Is to be In
serted In all contracts signed during
the- year, so that ths offender will not
be able to recover through tits medium
of the courts.
This move on the part of tns wwuua
sin commission should Insure . boxing
fans In the Badger stats of getting
their money's worth, which Is a whole
lot more than ths boxing fans in ether
states can be snrs of.
