E I Salem Is to have a golf course before the popular playing season opens, which will rank with $e best in the Pacific northwest. Plans for the new course were announced yesterday by Ercel Kay, prominent local golfer. The course Is to be located two miles south of the city limits on the river road on the Frank Hughes property, comprising ap proximately 134 acres of ideal golfing ground. A creek about 10 feet wide flows through the property to the Willamette river and there is a four-acre lake in one corner. All the ground for fairways, except two, are ready for seeding. According to present plans, the course will be in the neighbor hood of 6300 yards in length with watered fairways and numerous latural water hazards. The 18 holes have been laid out by Vernon Macan, northwest olf architect, who visited the site a year ago and expressed himself as enthusiastic regarding its possibilities. Coming from Macan, tMs Is a great statement, for he is known nationally as a golf course archi tect of ability. He has made a particular study of golf architec ture in past years. The laying of pipe for the wa ter supply, construction of the club house and greens will go forward within the next 30 days. Forty-four local golfers have indicated their desire to subscribe for stock to finance the project. Each member will receive a $250 share of preferred stock, which will return 7 per cent per an num, and also pay dues at the rate of $5 per month. An expensive club house wfll not be constructed at present, all the funds subscribed being dc- voted to building up the course. The new club will be incorpo ated for $50,000. i STRIB" TO TAKE J) m 0 U OUNCEO W. L. Tounj" Stribhnf, master mauler of the port werid, is to take to the air sooa. He has gone in for aviatoa.

UZCUDUN BATTLES T MEXICO CITY. Jan. 28. ( AP) Paolino Uzcudun, Basque heavy weight tonight expressed confi dence that he could win tomor row's 15 round match with Quin- tin Romero Rojas of Chile. A long range retort from Romero was that "if Paolino wins he will know he has had a fight." Tho fight will be fn the bull ring where a stand has been erected in the center of the arena. The pub lic has manifested much interest in the event, but promoters fear the arrival of the French fliers Dieudonne Costes and Joseph Le brix may prove a counter attrac tion that will detract from the fight attendance.

AGANS CHILEAN LEAGUE REVAMPING STARTS IS WEEK Action will be started this week toward the reorganization of the Portland city baseball league or formation of a new league just which It will be is more a matter of nomenclature than facts. It is certain that Salem, Eugene and Albany will be in one league It Is also certain that Fred Oass, president of the city league last year, will assist in forming this new circuit. But Just what Portland teams of the old league will Join it. has become in the past week rather a clouded issue, with reports reach ing Salem that some of the leaders are bucking the proposition. ostensibly on account of the ex pense!-of trips up the valley and similar matters. The facts are, however, that two leagues are certain to be disrupt ed if Salem, Eugene and Albany club together into one. Salem was in the city league and the other two were In the valley league. Manager Leo "Frisco" Edwards is taking a hand in calling the valley baseball magnates together for a meeting, the date for which will be set this week even if the meeting comes a little later. Meanwhile Edwards Is investi gating some matters in connection with the Oxford Park ball plant which may simplify his problem of enlarging the grounds and getting more seating space. It has been understood previously that the left field fence was on the prop erty line, but some members of the Senators' managing commit tee have reported that there is some additional sace available out that way. The right field fence is the one that is especially close in, so that the grandstand and third base bleachers will have to be moved back against the Oxford street property line at least. But there is a chance that the present first base bleachers might remain in tact, with an extension southward to use the space left when the grandstand is moved. All this will require some finan cial support, however, so the club's plans are merely tentative PARRISH BEATS STAYTON QUINT STAYTON, Or.", Jan. 28 (Spec ial) Parrish junior high school of Salem won a slow game here last night from Stayton high school by a score of 24 to 18.

Following a vlclt by Represen tative Britten, republican, Illinois, and Representative Fish, republi can, New York, to the White House during which the break was discussed, Britten announced that he hoped President Coolldge might act or at least express his views on the disruption which threatens the annual navy-army clash. The attitude of Major General E. W. Winans, West Point super lnteudent, was characterized as "high Handed" by Fish, who con demned Winans' refusal to meet Rear Admiral N'ulton. naval acad emy superintendent, In New York to discuss a compromise. OREGON FROSH 5 LOSES GAME EUGENE. Jan. 28. (AP) The University of Washington freshman basketball team defeat ed the Oregon freshman, 32 to 24, here tonight. The game started out as a listless affair, neither team showing very much either offensively or defensively, but after a slow first half both squads livened up and staged an exciting 20 minutes of competition. By this time, however, the Washing ton hoopers had gained sufficient of an advantage to safely go through three different short lived rallies of the Oregon year lings. Woodward Archer, forward, on the yearling quintet was one of the headiest players on the floor.

Washington Five Wins Over U. EUGENE, Jan. 28. (AP). The University of Washington bas ketball team won its third and the Univerelty of Oregon lost its first ram in the northern section championship race in the Pacific coast conference here tonight. The Huskies nosed out Oregon by a margin of seven points, 24 to 17. defeating as it did so its last big obstacle in the path of champion ship aspirations. ' The contest was a ragged one. particularly in the first half, but the Webfoots were a little more ragged than Washington. Neither team could score with any degree of regularity, though neither had mucn airiicuity in Dreamng through the offense of the other. At the end of the first 10 min utes the count stood, 3 to 3. in that time the rival teams seem ingly endeavored to find out which "could mire the most easy shots, leave more men unguarded and throw more wild passes. After this long preliminary ses-. sion of wildness, the Huskies eet tied down a bit and began to draw away from Oregon. The Web foots also came down to earth to j certain "extent, but still played t BASKETBALL SCORES ? At Salem: Willamette 41; Lin field 26. At Eugene: Oregon 17.
