Howard Kinsey. Irving Weinsten,
Ray Casey and Phil Bettens, ranking the
racket wielders is an arduous task. The
Golden Staters, while they were de
feated by players who are not ranked
among the firsjt five and in one or two
canes by those notanrteaea in tne rann
ings. made the going rather rough for
. the first three of the unofficial raniungs.
KEEB PLATED MUCH
Jn the writer's oplnlont there Is little
to choose between Neer, the Portland
youngster, who carried off the Oregon
State, and British Columbia titles, and
Scott, the youthful Tacoma player, who
won the International championship.
Neer is rated ahead of Scott despite
the fact that he lost to the Tacoma play
er in the finals of the Internationals.
because of his .record made in the vari
ous tournaments. In addition to winning
two titles, he played .his' way into the
finals of tha Pacific Northwest event
a f Tanrtmn a n r? thA Rpml.finslfl ftf f V P
Washington State tourney at Seattle, in
addition to meeting Maraha.l Allen in
the finals of the Inland Empire tourney
Fate brought these two sterling young
sters together, but once during the sea
son. Scott won that match after a hard
three-set contest. In 1919, Neer de
feated Scott in three out of four seta in
- WJO L11I119 Ul IU UlwrBl lUUJ IICJ. Ail
his match against Scott this yar, Neer's
playing was very erratic lie made 23
double faults' and netted the ball 30
times. Neer was not at top form when
he met Scott.
MARSH ALLEJT THIRD .
Allen, winner of the Inland Empire
tourney, was. placed third with K. Ver
ley of. Vancouver, B. C, in - fourth posi

the list. A. S, M;ilne, another Vancou
ver player, Is ranked sixth. Forest Cady
f Spokane, who beat Catlin Wolfard of
Portland in "the International and lost
out in the third "round of the Inland
Empire singles, was jgiven seventh Port

Michigan Has Fine
Gridiron Prospects
Prospects for a football team in 1921
that will be stronger In nearly every re
spect than the squad this year are bright
at the University of Michigan.
The hopes of the Maise and Blue for a
team next year that will figure as a real
contender for "Big Ten" conference hon
ors are heightened by the fact that a
large number of the members of this
year's team will be back next fall.
Five members of this year's eleven will
be lost to the 1921 ' machine. They are
Captain Angus Goetz, Tad Wleman, Abe
Cohen. Jack Perrin and Jack Dunn.
Among the seasoned men who will re
turn are Goebel and Cappon, the two
. ends ; Johns, a substitute tackle, who is
relied upon to fill the place left by
Goet; "Duke" Dunne and Wilson,
guards, and Ernest VIck, center.
Aside -from these varsity squad mem
bers, CoacW Yost Is depending upon Roby
and Kipke. , members of Hhe freshman
team this year, to have regular berths
In 1921.;' Van Orden, Plancke, Petro,

the 1920-21 season when-the Cana

on the Columbia park grounds this
afternoon. When the two elevens

the result was a 3 to 3 tie. The Pe

The Peninsula athletes, are at their top
speed right now, and but one defeat has
been charged against the 1919-20 cham

a 4 to 1 trimming in the opening clash
of the present schedule.

ISO OUT-OF-TOWIT GAMES '
All hopes of having an out-of-town
soccer team meet r Portland eleven on
Christmas day afternoon have gone glim
mering, jiccordine to an announcement
made by P. Chappell Brown, president
of the Portland Soccer Football associa
tion. He has, tried to land a match with
the University of Oregon and the Oregon
Agricultural college, but he reports that
the Lemon-Yellow athletes have dis
banded, while financial matters had a
lot to do with the calling off of a Portland-Oregon
Aggie contest
There Is no doubt but that a game be
tween two all-star combinations from the
association will hold the boards next Sat
urday afternoon, and it may be that two
other elevens will battle New Year's day.
Both these matters will be taken up for
final settlement at the regular meeting
of the league set for Monday night in
the offices of Judge George Gameron. in
the Chamber of Commerce building. The
gathering will be called to order at 7:45
o'clock and all members are requested to
be on hand.
The games this afternoon are slated to
start at 2 o'clock, with Frank Billington
as referee at Columbia Park, H. Smea
ton at Franklin bowl and Donald Harris
officiating at the Multnomah Guard
Standifer classic.

One obstacle after another, so many

star Portland interscholastlc eleven, and
one- from Seattle, had to call' off all
negotiations.

i M FOR EASTERN GRIDIRONS V
Portland Players Won Fame
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec 18. Ohio State
university or the University of Cali
fornia, champions, respectively of the
Western Conference and the Pacific
rCoast - Conference, may decide New
Year's day when they meet at Pasa-dffaa.-
CaL, whether the East plays bet
ter lootDau tnan tne ar weBi irom a
team standpoint," but who is going to
decide whether the East produces better
individual players than the WestT Why
do so many eastern coaches tail in tne
western field? .
When a supporter of the Eastern type
of player points to the Brlckleys and
Coys, your Pacific Coast man reminds
him of the great Martin Heston, born
In Oregon, who was the terror of Mich
igan's rivals in the early days of Coach
Fielding H. Yost at Ann Arbor. .
HESTOJf WAS WOJtBEB
While the Western athlete has not in
vaded the eastern classroom in unus
ually large numbers, it is a matter of
record that those who have had expert'
ence on western preparatory scnooi
teams and who have gone East to higher
Beats of learning, have had little or no
trouble in making the team. Wherefore,
your Pacific Coast booster will shout
-that it is a good thing for the eastern
football player that the Far West's aui
letes do not pick up and go in a body
to Harvard and Dartmouth, Princeton
and Minnesota, Yale and Georgia Tech.
Doubtless the best known of the type
of Pacific Coast man who scintillated in j
the East was Heston, who was the
bulwark of Yost's great elevens of early
in the last decade. I Another Oregon
grown product who starred at Harvard
was Hamilton Corbett. who learned his
football at the old Portland academy.
Harvard also drew Lewis Mills, football
player and oarsman, from Portland, Or.
Foster Rockwell, the great Yalequar
terback, was the son Of an Oregon min
ister and grew up in the Willamette
valley. He was the brains of the Yale
teams of 1902, '03 and 04. when Yale
played real football, j
SPOKASE MAX STARRED

"Dempsey nsnally beats his man

was the engineer who superintended
construction of the new-University of
Washington stadium in the record break
ing time of six months.
California is not represented to speak
of in players who have gone East from
that tsate for the reason that Rugby
supplanted the American game at Cali
fornia and Stanford in 1906 and contin
ued In force at Berkeley for 10 years and
at Palo Alto for 13 years.
EASTERN MENTORS FAIL
Many an eastern i football coach has
come to grief on Northwestern grid'
irons.
Tha University of Washington tried
out a number before GUmour Doble,
present Cornell coach, and Minnesota
graduate,' was brought out from the
North Dakota Agricultural college in
1908 to pursue his nine years of victory
without a defeat to stare his record
in the face.
From Princeton in 1903 came Jim
Knight, an All-American player who
made a fizzle of coaching, although he
Lasted two years. Oliver Cutts of Har
vard coached in 1905. Bruce Shorts of
Michigan had the. eleven In 1908. Victor
Place coached in 1907 and was succeeded
by Doble.
Oregon gave an opportunity to a num
ber of coaches before Hugo Bezdek came
out from Chicago for the second time
and established the style of play which
is in vogue today under the graduate
coachlns? system, The Eugene college
tried Gorfon Frost. Bob Forbes of Yale
for two years and Bob Warner, .a broth
er of the famous Glen of Carlisle and
Pittsburg fame. Forbes system was
just beginning to show results but the
impatient Oregonians wanted an imme
diate winner, ' ,
CARLISLE GAME WINNER
Oregon Agricultural college tried out
a number of eastern coaches, among
them being Sol Metsger, fresh from
Pennsylvania, who lasted but the one
season. . He is now coaching at the
University of South Carolina. Fred
Norcross, the old Michigan quarterback,
was the only coach that ever made good
at O. A C. and he retired from the
game to follow the pursuit of engineer
ing in Virginia.
"Lonestar" Dietz. the old Carlisle half
back, made good at Washington State
college by producing two championship
teams in the Pacific Coast conference,
but was involved in army draft diffi
culties and was not retained. Gus Welch,
another Carlisle player, has made a good
record as gridiron tutor of the Wash
ington Staters. ' Nebraska is now said
, to be after him. .
Who is going to decide whether the
East produces better, players than the
West?
