; team In Portland last night, all ' Is
.-eady for the big battle for this after
noon, rata or iMn, on 4th and
X Vaughn streets baseball troonOa, The
- contest was arranged by Bobby Rows,
well known to Portland fan as an
" ice- hockey- player, who has ambitions
' ot introducing lacrosse tos the Rose
City, and It will 'start promptly at
' Z:30 o'clock. ": . ' m
Dr. George Parrisb, city health, of-
fleer, has been induced to face the
ball in the center of .the field to start
the engagement, and 'be has prepared
himself to run to the sidelines as soon
;aa the first scrimmage 1 on. r
The Vancouver flayers are, qoar
tered at the Seward hotel, while the
Victoria squad texts, to the Benson
' hotel. ' There is considerable rivalry
- between the two aggregations because
the contest is a regularly scheduled
match Of the British Columbia, La
crossev association,- and the champlon-
- sniD is ai nwa. ma vwuirui
hold - the world's title along wiw me
famous Mann trophy, and they are
-not going to let it slip out of their
: hands without a terrible struggle,
"We want this game." said Captain
Kroeger of Victoria, "and the fans can
be assured that we are out to give
Vancouver , the hardest contest yet
, played, during the 1923 season. - I am
confident that we will win, and Van--wcoaver
knows that we are traveling
at great speed Just now. The whole
80 minutes' will be replete with thrills
. , it we have anything to do with it."
Unlike baseball, rain does not force
a postponement of a lacrosse game,
.- and for that reason the Canadians
will be seen In action this afternoon.
no matter what Old Sol has to say
' about it. ,
' : In order to acquaint the spectators
who do not understand the rules of
lacrosse, arrangements have been
made to announce any unusual plays
as well aa the scoring of goals, the
player negotiating the point and his
position. lcrosse is an extremely
- easy game to follow, and it is safe to
. say that after the first five minutes
of the matinee everyone will under
; stand what is going on.
If the weather will permit; the
Standard Oil and Fenne All-Star
: baseball teams will play, starting at
;-12 :20 o'clock; and it will be completed

New Rules Slow Shift Plays
Camp Discusses Attack Style
Changes in the Rules for 1922
The changes in the football rules this ysar. while -not materially affecting
the style of play itself, are important to coaches, officials and captains, as
well as to players. The 1922 rule books arrived in Portland at Spalding's
yesterday. The changes In brief: . -
Relating to Substitution, a player taken out in one half cannot return in
the same half, but as. nlaver who has been taken out in the first half may
return to the game in the second
ot a perioa. j . -
' The referee is permitted by a change in the rule to shorten the playing
time at intermission, should be decide that darkness is likely to interfere
with the completion of the game.
i In scoring, a new feature is Introduced, called a Try-for-point." For
merely a place-kick only was allowed for goal after a touchdown. Now
the side scorinar the touchdown is permittee te "bring- the ball out -to any
point not less than S yards from the goal line, or to any greater distance
they choose, and there a scrimmage Is formed, with the scoring side in
possession of the ball. - They can make any play which is legal from an
ordinary 'scrimmage and endeavor to score by a place-kick, a drop-kick,
a run, or a forward pass, (should they
play put the ball over the goal line and secure a touchdown, or should they
kick a field goal, any one of these successes yields them a single point.
Immediately that the trail becomes dead without resulting in such a score.
play ceases and the ball is taken back for a kick-off. as was done under
the old method when the try-for-goal had proven unsuccessful.
- As to fouls (on this try-for-point bjt either side, a foul by "the side
defending the goal gives the attacking side the additional point without
further ptay, and a foul or illegal play by the attacking side vitiates the
attempt for the score. .
' The privileges of choice of kick-off or of receiving the kick-off are a
little more clearly defined. . . t
Probably the most constructive ; work done was : in making the rule
regarding, shift -plays more clear and more simple of enforcement by
'officials. It provides, as formerly regarding the ordinary shifts, and also
provides that when a man in motion has left the scrimmage line he must
be. at least five yards back when the ball is put in play. It also provides
that In all shift plays the man who has moved from one position to another
before the ball Is. put in play must come to a stop: not only both feet
stationary on the ground, out must come to a full stop, so that when he
starts again he starts off from a standstill. ;..
i Certain alterations were made in'the rule regarding taking time out,
to clear up any misunderstandings there.
Tims taken out-after the third request by a captain entails a two-yard
penalty; - that Is, the stakes are not to be moved as formerly.
Interference with the defensive side on a forward pass entails a loss of
IS yards and a down. '
Unnecessary roughness has been somewhat -more clearly defined and
additional power put in the bands of the officials, anJ it was made mere
clear that the off ldals. should be stringent in handling it
i Clipping also has a section in the rules. :
; The declining ef penalties has been made clearer. .
; The referee will In future seieet the assistants to the linesman, designat
Ing the men who are to carry the chains. .
Approved rulings, as far as possible, nave been Incorporated Into the
roles. r v

(Cepyrlcht, 122, by The Journal) .' ,
jVTEW TOJUC, Aug. !. By far the
A v most Interesting feature ef foot
ball rules for 122, which have just
come to hand, was the careful pro
vision laid down as to the- legality of
shift plays. This style of attack re
sulted in considerable controversy last
fail' that for a time seemed liable to
bring the Eastern and Westers schools
of football into sharp eonCiet. - -:
Before discussing these stipulations,
it might -be. well to consider how and
when these . shift plays began, their
character and development and. bow
far they are likely to go, even under
restrictions.' . --u-,....,'
Technically, then, the.' first shift
play came into -existence when - the
team endeavored to get off a "sur
prise" kick. Tha eleven lined up in
running formation, and then the full
back suddenly took two or three steps
backward, received tne pall ana
kicked it. When, therefore, the rules
were made, regarding a man in mo
tion, It was necessary to provide ; for
this play, and -the Tule was made to
read that before the ball .was put
into play, one man of the. team might
ba in motion toward his own goaTw
This led to tha development ; by
Glenn Warner . of the so-called ?In
dian flying interference."" - which, by
the way, he , had ; used before there
were any rules to prevent ft, but after
thes rules he developed by having
one man on the end of the line start
In a wide sweeping swing. - This was
also tha play which was used in the
last few seasons by Princeton.
But the . shift plays, as generally
known, came . int notice through
George Woodruffs "guards back' at
Pennsylvania university. : "The tackles
back? at Tale, which was so success
ful, was developed on a different plan,
but also involved the shifting of line
men to tha backfleld. The broadest
development "of shift plays, however,
came - through Harry Williams, ; at
Minnesota, and John - Helsraen at
Georgia Tech. Both of these plays
consisted of changing one formation
Into ' another - suddenly, and particularly-
through the use of heavy llne
ment la the shift,:'. ; .;
TBMTLE SHIFT TK1XD ' ' . ' .
Later on, double and triple shifts
were developed on the Pacific coast,
much to the confusion of the offi
cials. - Then came more recently tha Notre
Dame shifts, and these have become
so prominent that there is a report
that Texas football players have seat
a man to South Bend to study these.
Hockne. the Notre , Dame coach. Is
elaborating them still further, and says
he ' will produce - even more startling
formations this season. Meanwhile
the rules, committee has gone a long
way toward helping the - officials, auid
also . putting more- of a burden upon
shift plays by legislation that clearly
defines when and where men may beip-aoship yames August 20. will saa

There have been schools which unre
servedly denied . the value of shift
plays and contended that as soon as
the opponents shifted to meet the
play the situation was equalised.
sbxtts rweMTAnr. . -
It Is true "that an experienced 'and
veteran eleven, with years of defen
sive work behind it, does not have
great trouble in analysing and meet
ing shift plays, unless the plays are
ef very high duality and involve con
siderable deception. , A shift - play
poorly -devised and executed in a slov
enly manner, is worse than no shift
at all. because it is not effective,
and. moreover, is likely to exhaust
unduly the team making the shift.
But the principle is sound, aad
based really pon lorin Poland's "fly
ing wedge" theory for suddenly trans-
ferring superior . power and weight
against a point - which cannot be
quickly protected-- C .
.The back field shifts of Penn StaU
last year depended' largely upon their
beautiful, execution,' but they were
quite as effective 1 as some of the
lumbering line shifts of other teams.
There are many expert coaches who
would like to see the shift plays en-i
tirely abandoned., but they are coaches
who rely largely : upon wonderful pre
cision and skill of their men ae . Indi
viduals. There is : another school of
coaches, like Bockse of Notre Dame,
who carried the shifts to a 'point
where, by special timing, they have
blended not only the sudden move
ment of men In a running attack, but
also, with the forward passing game,
and these men believe thoroughly that
the shift is a proper development of
the art of attack. -t - ....-
The new rules wQl undoubtedly slow
down the shift plays, especially when
made by big linemen, for It takes
sueh men ' longer to eome to a stop
and then start again than it 'does
light, shifty backfleld men.

TbABIS. Aug., Wv The daughters of
A Britain are likely to win the most
points in the first International wom
en s games tomorrow. it will so
miracle it the American girls win, nut
they win proD-ably taice second piaoe
from- the French women. , The 'Misses
Lines and Ha tt are the mainstays of
the British team, which is expected to
score heavUr in the 60-meter. 100-yard
and 300-meter runs and the relay race?
Tha writer never before saw girls run
so nearly, like men as do Linen and
Hatt. The former expects to do the
100 yards under IS seconds, weather
permitting.
Caraetla Sable and Florida Bates of
the United States will take good care
of the hurdle race but Mme. T. Balos
of France is dangerous as a, first or
second place winner. Miss Lowman of
EnglandshouId win the high jump eas
ily, as she has -done -4 feet It inches
consistently. --"Nancy Voorhees will win
points for the United states la this
event. - - .,
Most of the points in the standing
and broad Jump events should be won
by British or American "girls. Miss
Agsref tha United States and Miss
Grosllmund ; of Switserland - are the
most .likely looking entries In the ja
velin - throw.i Lucile Gobold - ought to
win the shotputtlng honors for the
UnKed States. In the 1000-meter run;
In which Mile. Lenour and Mile. Bread
are entered, should win first and sec
ond places for . France.., The . United
States is not likely to take any points.
The writer does not expect the Ameri
can relay runners, the Misses Gllliland.
Batson, SUle and Sable, to finish bet
ter than second. Camella Sable win
bear the brunt of the point-scoring for
the United states, as she la entered in
the short sprints, hurdles, standing and
broad Jump and relay.
Many women's world record will be
shattered if the weather is favorable
All American . performances will be
timed, win or lose, and some American
records will be broken. There are only
10 in the American team.: every mem
ber ' of which is a schoolgirl. The
French and British entries are more
numerous. . Some observers look for an
American victory, hoping for enough
seconds and thirds to offset Britain's
probable lead in points in the sprint
races. ; . . .-.
Old-Timers Discuss Players

fTlHREB old ballplayers sat in the
press box ? at the' Polo Ground.
One of them began to play baseball
almost In the first year of the National
league. iNone of them would adroit
that the ball players of today are any
better than those-of the past." One of
them thought i they were : not as good
and is not likely to change his mind.
All three of them believed that baseball
sentiment had largely vanished, due
to the fact that all professional base
ball talks in dollars and cents and not
in the skill of the ball players, and
each of them signed and swished for a
return to the old days. So don't think
for a moment . that tha baseball of
years ago was not highly regarded py
those who made the game and gave
it a start that has not been very well
followed by the speculators of the
present.
FiilsUe Is referred to as the pitcher
who was tossed in for good measure
when Detroit .obtained Johnson. .That
is not quite true. Johnson was first
choice, i but the deal' had to include
more .than Johnson, and PlUette was
the best player left en the team to
make the terms agreeable, Pillette has
a pitching style that may- pot keep
him long in baseball, but he also has
a delivery - that will hurry some weak

Detroit baseball club 10 per cent more

made without him. . Miller Huggins

the American league, especially- If the
Indians get through their .bunch - of

AS THE date spproaches for the first "
annual track and field meet for
police in Seattle, September. 9. there
Is a revival of interest in athletics -
among. the members of the Portland
police bureau that has not been paral- .
leled for years. .
But enthusiasm has been at such a
low ebb that the most ardent sports
men aye beginning to worry whether .
the Portland department will , be able
to put a team In the field that will do
Itself credit, j- , - '
In order to. stir up interest and line
up a representative team, William Dra- -
peau,- vice president of the Portland
Police Beneficiary association, has ap
pointed a committee of five men, as
follows:: William Epps (chairman),
Krita "RehberR. F, R. Burtch, H. H.
Harms and W. C. Shaffer.
This committee is face to face with - :
the task of whipping a track team into
Shape in the short time of three weeks, '
and . as yet . practically nothing has
been . done except talking, and there
certainly has been plenty of that.
.With the exception of one or two
individuals In the track events, the '
Portland .department will have to trust
to dark-horse material to oompete with
representatives of other Northwestern
police departments.
CRACK SHOTS
One ray of hope, however, stands out
for the Portland men in the revolver
match. Local - dopesters hold that
Portland can take this event, probably
with a good margin.
Four out ot five men who won the
national police championship In 1815
ana set a woria s recora xor a ponce
team using four-inch barreled pistols
are still in the department - and will
represent Portland at Seattle.
- These men , are - Captain John T.
Moore, Sergeant John Young, Inspector -Robert
Craddock and Patrolman Larry
Evans. Six other likely candidates are
competing tor a place on tne live-man ,
team and Craddock has the marksmen
in charge at present. .
SOME JUHPE& ' ,
Patrolman H. H. Harms, well-known
sleuth, is expected to clip off a few
points In the field events. H is re
called that in his college days at Cor-
.vallls be used to polevault at 11 feet
and broad-jump at 22 feet and better.'

bies, ex-high school star on the track,
is expected to figure In the sprints. ;
CH1EP IX TBAIXIJtO
Chief of Police L. V. Jenkins has an
nounced his intention of entering the
75-yard dash for chiefs only. .While
the chief cannot hark back to- the days
when he was exactly a- track star, still
he has done considerable running and
is quite a physical culture fan. This
means he will be in training, and as
youth .will. -probably count more than
experience, Portland's ..young police
chief can be expected to accomplish
something. . - ,
-Chief Jenkins said Saturday that
much Interest, has been shown in the,
coming event and he expects that the'
department will be represented in prac
tically every event.
The meet is to be the first et a se
ries of .events held annually under the
auspices of the Seattle Police Sports
association. Police athletes of the
Northwest, Including Canada, will be
entered. 1 : h - .
