son. : a friend of Keene's . in San
Francisco. Six games are defin
itely scheduled and four more are
needed to insure financial success
ot the tour. ' '
' Men wha are almost certain to
make the trip are Hank, Flesher,
iitchfield, Ashby Ledbetter, all
Jlittermen; Minto and Zellec from
list year's equad; and Glass and
Cardinal, freshmen.
uOthers who may make it inter
esting for all concerned are Twee

Je Ilarport; Page, and Harmon
' from the freshman class. Gill hails
' from Amity, De Harpport,',. f rom
Salem "high, Page, from. Dallas,
and Harmon from Grants Pass.
j Hauk, Litchfield, Ashby, and
Led better were members of the
; first team last year playing in
practically every game. Litchfield
is an unusually fast forward, and
Hauk, Ashby, and Ledbette can
plr guard or forward equally
, well. Ashby was all-conference for
ward last iyear, and Ledbetter
made the 'second : all-conference
team as guard. Litchfield got
' honorable mention.
; Flesher and Zeller were handy
' substitutes at guard last year, and
: Minto played a great deal at cen
; ter. Glass waa ' all-state high
school guard in Indiana last year.
Cardinal as center for St. Martins
' college last year, was high point
man for his team. He has-also
played for Mt. Angel.
. The conference basketball
schedule will be drawn up at a
;' meeting of conference of ficlals in
Portland December 2 or 3. Dean
Erickson, president of the circuit,
mailed out letters yesterday, call
lag the meeting on, one of these
two dates.
: According to. an agreement
i made last year, the Bearcats must
. travel to Walla Walla and Cald-
! " welt this season. The Misslonair
I ies are markedly strong, on their
home floor by reason of Its small
j proportions. This will constitute
a great disadvantage to the lo
cals. Two games in a row will
' be played there. Games with Pug
j et Sound, Lin field, and Pacific
1 will be exchanged Just as last
year. '
Indications are that Willam
ette will have the strongest hoop
team in the conference, and the
- barn strom In g tour through Cali
fornia should place the' team In
fine fettle. Last year, the Bear
. cats tied with Whitman for the
'. conference title.

Bobby Mclntyre and Phil Bayes
will ; not be - matched on - the
Thanksgiving eve Salem armory
This waa announced last night
by Harry Plant, boxing' promoter,
who stated that previous reports
to the effect that the match had
been arranged were unauthorized.
Plant will leave this morning
for Portland where he will line up
fighter to match with Bayes in
the main event. " It will be diffi
cult to find a suitable opponent,
as' sluggers of Bayes weight axe
scarce. v ,. " r ; : 5 H":
. The Bayes-Mclntyre go has been
advocated by snpportera of the two
local fighters, who felt that It was
desirable to determine which, was
supreme in Salem. It all grew
out of a rumored statement by
Charles Duncan, Mclntyre's mana
ger, that Mjclntyre could 1 slip
Bayes the skids any time he want
ed to. Bayes felt disposed to take
up the challenge and both! camps
are strong for the fray, i holding'
that It would attract one of the
largest crowds ever assembled at
a pug exhibition. ; rl !
Members of the boxing commis
sion and other prominent local fis
tic fans disapproved of the match,
however, "on the ground "that
Bayes would be too much for Mc
lntyre. Hence, any intention : to
put on the event waa dissipated
yesterday. ' , ; f
Fans, however, are anxious, to
see Bayes in another match here
so Plant will make every effort
to find a fighter who can give the
local boy-plenty of exercise.
The supporting - card will . be
made up of strong calibred ' men,
Matchmaker Plant announced.

PORTLAND, Nov. 14. (AP)
Are there , too many hungry
China pheasants, too many moose
and too many wildcats In Oregon
for the comfort and happiness of
Oregon residents! , Petitions pre
sented today to the state game
commission Indicated that such
was the case.;
Ten head of moose in eastern
Lane and Douglas counties, placed
there by the game commission,
are a danger to life, and property.
one petitioner contended. The ani
mals have become pests. It was
said, destroying and endangering
lives. It was asked that the ani
mals be removed at once. As the
head bull moose of the herd was
killed recently, the commission
hopes the situation will adjust it
self. If not, it was Indicated the
herd will probably be removed.
Insatiable appetites ot China
pheasants in Columbia county, and
the destruction wrought to farm
landa by hunters, have led the Co
lumbia county Pomona Grange to
request that no more pheasants be
liberated in that county.
.Wildcats" are an extreme nuis
ance in .Tillamook-county, another
petition said. Residents of the
county, supported by the sheriff
and county clerk, suggested a.
bounty be placed on wildcats, plac
ing them in the same category
with wolves and cougars. The
commission said the bonnty of $25
on cougars and wolves would be
increased as soon as possible, and
that a bounty on wildcats will be
