THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SATURDAY. JANUARY 21. 1923 CLIFFDWELLERS DROP ONTO BEARCATS PAGE SIX BEARCATS WIN FIRST GAME OF REGULAR SKED Willamette will enter its game with Columbia university tonight with a conference victory tucked against Pacific university at Forest Orove last night. The Bearcats rolled up an 18 to 9 lead at halfllme which was continually In darner until the final gun which left a 34 to 24 score. The decisive figure In the first half scoring was Reggie DePoe who tallied four field goals in the first three minutes of play, a feat which left the Badgers half stunned. Im mediately all efforts were rendered to halt the Indian forward while other Willamette players continued the scoring. The Bearcats might have con tinued their spreo had not a spirit of over-confidence prevailed during the entire contest, giving the Bad gers a chance to organize for scor ing on their own account. Bob Ashby, veteran all-conference guard, was not in the line up and did not make the trip. Ash- by is working his way through college and finds that basketball In terferes too much with work to carry on both successfully. He has suffered from painful Infections already this season. He may leavi the squad next week although nothing definite has been decided. The Cllffdwellcrs, opponents of the Bearcats tonight on tlx local floor, have a speedy aggregation built up around Denny Heenan. former Salem high player. Heenan has been going at a great rate tills year. The summary: Willamette (34) De Poe (10) ....P... Litchfield (2) ,.F... Cardinal (18) ,.C... Hauk (5) O... Leadbettcr (1) .O (1) Coon Glass (4) 8..

Mickey Walker, in a compara tively short time, ate his way from the welterweight to the middle weight championship. Now Pete Latzo, who took the welterweight title fiom Walker less than two years ago. has done even better. With hardly even a stop-over in the middleweight division, Pete has blossomed forth at 172 pounds and announced himself as a contender for light hr-avywcglht honors. Lew Tendler, a great lightweight five years ago has outgrown even the welterweight class. Most of the featherweight cham pions in recent years have grown so rapidly that they were forced to re linquish the title without even de fending It. By DW1CI1T O'OEXL "Make provisions for the destruc tion of predatory animals and the extensive cries for relief in foster ing propogation of deer and birds in Oregon will show a striking de crease" said E. A. Plasecki, Dallas sportsmen, president of the Oregon Game Protective association, in an Interview this week. Because so few counties In the state keep up their bounty provis ions there are practically no con centrated efforts by hunters and trappers to stalk and kill predatory game. Thousands of deer are killed each year by cougars, -wolves, coy otes, wildcats and deer- running dogs. Crows eat pheasant eggs of an inestimable number each year and young birds are always In danger of the depradalions of a prowling field cat. Aside from lack of funds to pay bounties even when the pelts are lawfully presented the problem of the deer-runni.ig dogs is ever In creasing. Several such pests were disposed of in Polk and Marion counties during the past year, some Rose Colored Glasses Make Phillies New Ace Hudkins Showing Not Champ Class i Madison Square Garden. New York, Jan. 21. (tin Ace Hudklns, of Nebraska, Is safely past the first -milestone of his arduous Journey to the welterweight championship, but 'unless the wildcat shows a lot more ' class than he did in outpointing Lew Tendler, veteran Philadelphia!!, Fri day night, he cannot lioiie to sup plant Joe Dundee, of Baltimore, at the top of the 147 pound division. Hudklns won his fight handily, but in failing to stop Tendler, who lias been milling about In local rings since 1913, the "Act" showed a woe ful lock of championship class. Tendler. selected as a trial horse for Hudklns' second venture up the shaky ladder which leads to titles, fame and dollars stood off the fu rious rushes of his younger andl stronger opponent and at the Un til) was enslly holding his own. The only knockdown of the bout came In the seventh round when a round house right clipped Tendler On the chin and sent him to his knes. The Nebraskun. whose , previous venture Into the east ended in speedy knockout at the hands of Sergeant Sammy Baker, has been matched with the tough young avia tor rrom Mltchel Field early in Feb ruary. On the coast last year Hud- kins succeeded in reversing matters and outpointing Sammy and the supposition is that he will do so again and go on to tide fight with Dundee. Chtcaso Eddie Shea.

(JP) With a raft of new players, a seasoned first baseman in addition to the pitching staff, not to mention the inspiring influence of Burt Shot ton, the new manager signed for two years, the Philadelphia Nation als faced the 1928 baseball cam palgn looking through rose-tinted spectacles. The most notable addition to the team Is First Baseman George Kcl ley, bought from Minneapolis, al though he played at Newark, N. J., last year. Kelley has been a suc cessful minor league first sacker for five years and compiled 44 hom ers two years ago with Buffalo. Despite conflicting reports. Fres co Thompson will be back on second base. The veteran Heinle Sand will return to his old position at short stop. Hal Dietrich, of Portsmouth. Virginia, will be Sand's understudy. A struggle for third base will take place between Barney Friberg. a near veteran, and A. C. (Ace) Whit ney erstwhile New Orelans player. One of the best all-round utility men In the National league, Roggy Wrlghtstone, a handy man with the bat, will be available for emergency duty in almost any position and will act as pinch hitter. The twirling corps Is stronger than in recent years. It consists of Frank Ulrich, a right handed ace; Claude Wllloughby, Alex Ferguson, Art De catur, Herb Pructt and Lester 8weetland, southpaws. There Is a flock of Impressive newcomers, Walsh and Taber from the Eastern league: Bcnge from Waco: Green of Portsmouth, and many other lesser lights, at least four of the rookies are said to pos sess enough stuff to remain In the big leagues. In the outfield, Cy Williams, who tied with Hack Wilson, for home run honors lost year with 30, prob ably will alternate with Denny Sot- norn, it ne does not care to play through the entire season. Cy Is a real veteran but he still retains the knack of clouting homers. Center field will be guarded by Fred Leach, a deadly hitter In the pinch, while Dick Spalding will hold forth In left. Both led the league in fielding their positions last sea son. AI Nixon and Holman will be substitutes, giving the Phils two out fields. The catching department Is led by Captain Jimmy Wilson, with Schulto and O'Donnell In reserve. because of defaulting licences and others by efforts of conscientious sportmen. Piaseckl went before the county court of Polk county lost year and secured a special appropriation of $150 for cougar bounties from the general fund. This will be paid un til the fund Is exhausted when he plans to seek an Increase from the court. When thousands and tuns of thousands of game animals and birds are lost by such depredations each year successful propogation Is lm passible contends the state presl dent who with his cabinet Is seek ins to stir the entire state through member clubs of the Oregon Game Protective association. Federal assistance may be pro cured by congressional appropria tion this year. Oregon representa tives have promised to back the measure to the limit which would assure the cooperative work of the state commissions and the associ ation a sound footing for the next two years. The only funds now ac cessible to the commissions are those paid in by the actual hunters and anglers for their license fees. In the meanwhile Oregon sports men can help by keeping a sharp eye for the game raiders both hu man and animal for the animals are not alone at fault Game war dens in the state have exhibited a remarkable lethargy in tracing known depredations by men hunting without licenses as well as out of season. Arrests have been made but only a few have been effective even when straight sportsmen have turn ed in straight information. Further plans of cooperation be tween the state officials and the sportsman will be discussed at the annual banquet of the Salem Rod and Gun club to be held at the Marlon hotel Friday evening, Jan uary 27, at which Governor I. L. Patterson, State Treasurer Tom Kay, members of the game and fl-'-h commissions and other state offi cials will appear. BOSTON BRAVES LOOK WELL ON PAPER COUNTS LEO FLYNN TO KEEP DEMPSEY New York.

Flvnn expressed the belief that Dempsey would iignt only once this year and that would be against Gene Tun- ney. DALLAS POTS I. H. S. OUT Independence.

Dallas took the lead on three crack shots by Syron In the first quarter and never lost It throughout the entire game. Checking was close at all times as shown by the small score.

At the same time an Integral part of the machine destined to furnish the necessary spark to pull - vui. vi nn naouuai second divi sion Is believed to have been ac quired in the season's outstanding deal which brought Rogers Hornsby to uosion irom tile Giants to cap tain the tribe at second base. For the rest, the squad will shape up as mostly veteran with one or two promising additions to a pit ching staff which last year suffered lor lack of an outstanding lelt- hander. Johnny Cooney, veteran soutnpaw who underwent an opera tion on his left elbow, will attempt a comeback, while among the new additions are Ed Brandt, a big left nandcr from Seattle and Art Delaney, formerly of Oakland. The veterans include Kent Greenfield, Joe Genewich, B. Smith, Charlie uooertson and Henry Welti A gaping hole appears at present at the other end of the pitchers auey aue to tne departure of Fran cis Hogan, last year's young but regular backstop, who went to the Giants with outfielder Jimmy Welsh, in exenange lor Hornsby.

With the coming of Horasby, the braves now consider they have a keystone combination worthy of the name. The new star captain will run tilings from second base and across the bag in the shortstop berth will be Eddie Farrell, last year's regular and former team mate of the slugging ex-Giant. Little Doc Gautreau probably will be switched from second base to third base to comiiete for that po sition with Andy High while Eddie Moore, last year's guardian of the hot corner, probably will become an outfielder rather than reserve ma tcrial due to his hitting ability. The outer garden patrol will be cnoscn from Lance Rlchbourg. Moore, Jack Smith, next to leading hitter of tlie squad a year ago and tan ciark who was purchased for sia.ooo from Richmond last year.

Allow Longer Time To Take In New Rules New York, Jan. 21. WV-The na tional football rules committee, yielding another point to the opln ion of college coaches, will me:t earlier than usual this year to give more time lor the dissemination of any changes made in the gridiron code ior wis. It Is understood that the commit tee will get together in Now York early in February, a month ahead of the usual schedule, to canvass the effects of the radical changes made in tne rules last year and consid er the coaches' recommendations to go back to the 1926 rules on the muffed punt and lateral pass. The chairman of the committee. Edward K. Hall, is committed to a program of no changes. He believes the game has crystalized In its pres ent form, so far as rules are con cerned, and that It should be al lowed to develop without further legislation. But the coaches, with a stronger representation than ever before, will be on hand to debate tins point, at any rate. Codification of the entire book of rules Is to be undertaken this year, but this herculean task will not be completed before 1929. PARRISN HI PUTS ST.

Work on the new line to the east of the present course has been ad vancing slowly altnougn it is thought It will be ready this year.

This move did not materialize tor It was the general conscensus of opinion among many of the lead ing members that the present loca tloln was the only Ideal situation within a radius of five miles ot the city which would not demand a heavier outlay of capital. The present nine is a hazardous course which will throw even the most experienced golfer off at times. Only a few local men have shot un der 70 over two nine hole rounds since the course was opened.
