Oregon Tried to Get
: Hugo Bezdek
Turned Down
U. of O. Offer
By fitorgt Bertz '
FACTIONAL strife, which upset the
athletic policy of the University of
Oregon three years ago, it is said, is re
sponsible for the present unrest in the
sport circles at the Eugene institution.
Further efforts to locate alumni mem-
bers of athletic council tolled. Dean II.

stepped out during the "war" three years

hers. Is said to be in California. A. It.

It has been learned - from Professor
11 Howe that prior to the offer to Gil
Ioble, former Washington coach, who Is
; now at Cornell, that Oregon tendered
Hugo Bezdek, ex-Oregon mentor who is
v tinder a seven-year contract at the Penn-
nylvania State college, a contract calling
5 for $8000 per year. Bezdek rejected the
offer and attention was directed to
J l)oble, who agreed to come to Oregon
v under a. five-year contract at $10,000 a
year. The athletic council wired Doble
5 a counter proposition of $8500.
3j The meetins's of the athletic council
were supposed to be secret, but the lnfor
JJ matlon regarding changes In the coach-
ing staff leaked out after one of the hot
sessions of the members.
Professor I to we.. chairman of the
council, declared at Kugene Tuesday :
"The action was not taken on account of
any dissatisfaction of the work of Coach
v Shy Hurttington, but it Is the result of
A desire to meet the formation of the
v 'Big Three with a spectacular move."

teams during the three years he .'has

It is understood that "Brick" Mitchell,

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 26. The appli
cation of the draft to the Pacific
Coast Baseball league will not be acted
upon till such time as each director has
received and studied a certified copy of
the new national agreement.
Such was the decision arrived at Tues
day night after the Coast league man
agers had been In session for several
hours. .
TO STUDY DRAFT
When the copies of the agreement
reach the directors President McCarthy
will call a special meeting for a vote
on the resumption of the draft, or maybe
he will allow them to vote by telegraph.
Then again he may decide that the
Coast league shall finish the season of
1921 without any draft affiliations with
the big fellows.
J. Cal Ewing of Oakland and Judge
McCredie of . Portland are championing
the resumption of the draft. Manager
Charley Graham of the Seals, is for it,
but his two associates. George Putnam
and Dr. Strub, are against it. The other
league directors are struggling with
Putnam and Strub.
The 26 weeks schedule was adopted
without the making of a pass or the
landing of a wallop. In fact, the ses
sion was bo quiet and orderly that It did
not resemble a ball gathering at all.
BEATERS AT BAY CITY
The principal holiday dates follow:
Opening day, April 5. Portland at San
Francisco ; Vernon at Sacramento ; Oak
land at Salt Lake; Seattle at Log An
geles. Decoration day. May 30 Oakland at
San Francisco ; Portland at Salt Lake ;
Los Angeles at Sacramento; Seattle at

Independence day, July 4 Vefrnon at
San Francisco; Portland at Seattle;
Sacramento at Salt Lake ; Oakland at
Los Angeles. -
Labor day, Sept. 5 Seattle at San
Francisco ; Oakland at Sacramento ; Ver
non at Salt Lake ; Portland at Los An
geles. Owing to the high cost of transporta
tion, equipment, raises In salaries and
the like, the magnates unanimously de
cided to boost the prices of admission
to SO cents in the bleachers and 75 cents
in the grandstand. This goes for every
park in the league,
P.-I. TO ESTER TEAM
The Coast 'league directors gave their
permission to the Pacific International
league to place teams in Portland and
Seattle. The P.-I. circuit will be com
posed of Portland, , Seattle, Tacoma,
Yakima, Vancouver and Victoria.
Games will be played in Portland and
Seattle when the Coast league clubs are
on the road.
The Coast league season will open In
Portland April 19, with Oakland or
Sacramento opposing Portland, it is said.

Jess Condition Is Surprise to Fans

Dempsey Under-Rated in Toledo Go
By T. Howard Kelly
CniTeraal Serric Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK. Jan. 26. Big Jess Wil
lard walked into our midst Tuesday
without even so much as sending us a
postcard, announcing his arrival. He
isn't here to seek publicity, he explained.
."I'm here to clinch my chances of
meeting Jack Dempsey within the next
six weeks. And from what Tex Rickard
told me I'm going to get the chance
that I've been laying for during the last
two years," said Jess.
JESS LOOKS FIT
The big boy totes 247 pounds of farm
brewed brawn around with him these
days and he doesn't expect to cut his
poundage down a whit unless he loses
some weight from training. His com
plexion is ruddy and from head to toe
the former champion looks fit.
Jess was expected east within a few
days but his arrival was a bit of a sur
prise shock.
"Kinda shocked you, eh? Well, Just
wait. I'm going to hand Mr. Jack
Dempsey the greatest shock 'of his young
life." Now, Jess didn't sound as if he
was bragging when he made this state
ment. He spoke like a man who knew
what he was talking about.
Jess has been plugging on his Kansas
farm to get into the condition that will
enable him to meet Dempsey with , an
equal chance for victory. He lis sure
that the past two years have whipped
him into this necessary condition.1 Look
ing him over carefully we found that his
chest bulges out like a wind-filled main
sail and that down around his belt re
gion there is just a slight indication of
paunch.
HARD AS A BRICK
Willard noticed the writer scrutiniz
ing him and wanted to know what we
thought of his appearance.
Well, if he feels as good as he looks
he ought to be in some shape, and Jess
said he felt better than that. ;So from
his own word you can take itithat the
big fellow is still husky. Perhaps it
wouldn't hurt him to drop a few! pounds
around the stomach, but Jess claims he
is as hard as a rock in all spots.
"Farm work, life In the opjen and
plenty of gym workouts for almbst two
years have done the trick. I can stand
the hardest punch' that Dempssey can
put across now. But that's not saying
I'll let- him get too many chances to
sock me. I know he can hit. !
"It was because I underrated ; him in
our last match that I let him paste me
and the first blow was a heavy one that
sent my brain going like a merry-go-round.
I'll know better now and intend
to do the socking myself," declared
Jess. I
SAYS JACK OVERRATED
The fact that the New York state com
mission has limited top prices for bouts
to $15 doesn't seem to worry Jess very
much. He is confident that Tex Rickard
will be able to enginieer the party to the
satisfaction of all concerned. j
Discussing the result of the Dempsey
Brennan mill. Jess said that it furnished
lots of proof, that Dempsey has been
overrated in every way since his (victory
at Toledo. Bill Brennan is a good
enough man, he thinks; to havs made
Dempsey go his limit to stop hitti. The
fact that Dempsey used up 12 rounds
congeal at freezing: temperatures.
congealed,! the oil cannot be splashed
STANDARD OIL. COMPANY
(California)
Record Crowd to Witness Dempsey Contest
to knock Bill out has given Jess more
confidence in hts own belief that Demp
sey is far from the great fighter that
he is cracked up to be.
"I was never due to get stopped In
-three rounds by Dempsey. He did, I
admit. But I've i never offered any
alibis. I've just been thinking one
thing and doing one thing since that
day in Toledo. And that one thing was
to get in shape and show the people I
can lick Dempsey," Jess Bald. ;
SPURRED BY PRIDE
To tell the trutb. after - talking with
Willard awhile, it teems that his fight
ing pride is the thing that haa spurred
him on to get ready for another Demp
sey encounter. The big man gives the:
impression that he still smarts from the
Toledo defeat and is anxious to wipe
out an old score) with a rival for whom
he has Very little kindly feeling.
Willard said that Tex Rickard ex
pects Jack Kearns in New York within
a few days and that the match will be
sewed up then. In the meantime he and
Ray Archer, his manager, are going to
scout around for ti-ning quarters.
"So; I haven't gathered up any staff
of sparring partners or cunp followers
yet. I'm waiting to, look ovu V f?ld.
I want new blood fcnd the beat at 1
can get to help me put on the finiol,!-
touches. The only thing that real!
needs attention Is my wind. I must
sharpen up that a bit and then I'll be
set. ' i '
IS COM'IDUST
"I've been on my feet bo much at home
that I can stand a mighty fast gait.
But I'm going to speed up by training
before the next bout as no man ever
trained. Yes, I am going to stay East.
All my workouts will be staged in or
near New York."
Interest In the proposed match be
tween Jess and Jack' is very high here
and there i3 no doubt but that the mill
will draw a capacity crowd to the gar
den. Willard is confident that he can
"come back" and In view of regaining
his title he is already thinking of a
bout with Georges Carpentier.

In Ring Bout
Bj C. B.
TOUT 'steen years ago Jack Demp
J3sey tried to land a preliminary bout
at the old Rose City Athletic club.-1 He
could not get a chance to show. He did
not even get a cheer from any of the
fistic followers of those days, but
Tonight at the Milwaukie boxing com
mission arena, this same battler, toting
the world's heavyweight championship
crown, will crawl through the ropes for
a six-round exhibition contest with Terry
Keller. He will likely be cheered to the
echo and, whereas he was - not offered
the price of "coffee and" on his first
visit heie tonight he will carry away one
of the blggcit purses ever offered a bat
tler He will g. pretty close to 625 a
minute for his slx-roiind setto.
HAVE MET BEFORE
In agreeing to meet Keller, Dempsey
will go against a boxer who knows some
thing about the style of the champion,
for Terry has met the champion before,
in fact, the "H. P. B." gave Jack one
of his hardest battles when he was on
the ! road to the ' championship of the
world.
Dempsey will have to step around at a
lively clip In his exhibition, according to
Ms own Ideas. He figures that an ex
hibition contest is harder than a regular
battle, in view of the fact that a boxer
has to keep moving all the time.
PLE5TT OF SEATS
Frank Kendall,' matchmaker for the

ber of good reserved seats available for
