WASHINGTON HIGH BEATS LINCOLN TEAM Portland. Ore., Nov. 21 U Washington high school closed Its football season here Tuesday by de feating Lincoln high. 44 to 0, in a : Porttaad rMerscholastic game. The . Scots sras the largest of the season made aa the local gridiron. them for the Turkey with Whitman. Coach Keene has come to the opinion that he has been too easy with his men and from now on they are going to do some real work and at least find out how to tackle with sufficient force to bring down their tan. The absence of "Chuck" DePoe nmed to take the steam from the drive of the Bearcat against the College of Idaho and against Pa cific. The quarterback 1 rapidly re covering from hi Injuries and I expected to be In top form against Whitman, Hints, left guard on the Bearcat forward wall, played a bang up game against Pacific all the way. never letting down for an instant, It has since been pointed out that he was the only member of the team who seemed, really tired on the Jour ney home from Forest Orore. He was content to sit In his sest and rest while hts fellow players were inclined to more or less horseplay. However, this Is water over the dam, and Coach Keene and his a' aistants are determined tt get the squad into a fighting mood suffic ient to give the Missionaries a real game. That this will be a hard mat ter Is Indicated by statements of several coaches and experts that Coach Borleske's team Is virtually on a par with Washington and Ida ho. The Whitman aggregation has played a tough schedule this year and although detested by close scar. es by members of the Pacific coast conference, have absorbed a lot of good football knowledge. Whitman has taken the confer STUDENTS AT OREGON DEFEAT GOLF CHAMPS Eugene, Ore- Nov. 21 IP Two University of Oregon students.

Whether they can do - that ' thing seem to be up to the Willamette squad. It they ean assemble enough Intestines to fight they will have a chance, otherwise the Missionaries will have a pleasant workout "We expect Ted to win and are making no bones about it," aau John Orr, manager for Fox. in com. menting about the fbrthaoming mix between Phil Bayes and Ted Fox at the Oregon Theater Thursday night, just before leaving for Portland Wednesday morning. Orr will bring his protege back with bun tonight. As long as I have anything to do with Pox or another boxer they will fight as long as they are in the ring. There will be no stalling That Is their Instructions and they are perfects willing to comply. We are looking for no set-ups. AU we want Is boys who will not outweigh our fighters to any considerable ex tent. Fox is faster and will be more than able to hold Ms own with Bayes: We arc not diseoanting Phil's ability, but we believe that Fox is the better of the two men.' If s no secret witn US that Fox has been working toward this fight ever since he began his ring appear ances here. Ted wants to be the main attraction In future , shows here and after Thursday ntght there will be no question about it." Orr was rather reticent about having his name mentioned m con nection with the bouts, saying he was not In the game for any profit, but that he was interested in nil boys and wanted to see the game here a success. Matchmaker Plant says although he feels sure the house will be packed to the ceiling tomorrow night, there are a number of choice seats left for the late comers. He is still working on his preliminaries and Is holding off until the last minute on these so that the best possible bouts may be staged. Bayes ha been working out here the past week and Is rapidly get ting Into shape. Fox, who has done more or less fighting at Portland during recent month has been training In the metropolis, where he says he has better opportunity to work out with men In his class. Both mam eventers will weigh In at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Indications that the pigskin sea son I about to an end were in evl dence on the Salem ' high school gymnasium floor this week when several members and would-be members of the 1028-29 squad were out passing the big ball about and trying their eyes on the big iron hoops. Prospects for another successful season were in evidence by the re turn of several of last year's play. era including Bob and Charles Kelly, Lee Ecker, George Beechler, and Siegmund. Last year: promis ing substitutes include perrine, El gin, Wilbur, Oraber and Turner. No doubt there will be a great many more youngsters to try to jar loose some ot the regulars. No serious effort at practice will be made until the football togs are laid away. Both Kelly and Ecker are taking a prominent part In the gridiron sport-and they no doubt will keep their minds on the game with Tillamook next EUturday rather than upon the maple floor. DELEGATES INVITED " TO GAME GATHERING The Oregon Game Protective as sociation, through lta secretary, O. B.

BRUNO AGE TO GUIDE UNION New York: Nor. 11 VPi A firm hand, one which only a decade ago was being used to hurl 66-pound weights and hammers, is to guide the Amateur Athletic union through the coming year. Taking office a president shortly before the 40th annual convention came to a close. Avery Brundage of Chicago made It clear at once that the amateur rules are In for strict enforcement. "It is hot the rules that are at fault." he said, "but the adminis tration of them." Chatting informally, he brought up the cases of "athletes who have grown in ability In say tennis or track to such a point that they are wanted In all sections of the country." - "Undoubtedly." he said. TUden has done the sport of teanis a great deal of good whether be is an ama teur or not. About the merits ot his case I know little. "But my personal opinion Is that iles a man has some source of Income, some regular employment, outside ot sports, he Is a profes sional." Promoters who offer financial wards to amateur athlete are largely responsible for violation of the code, the new president added. Indicating that a tight rein will be kept upon them. The only move made by the con vention during It session here to make the amateur rules mora atriot was adoption of a rule making a man ineligible as aa amateur tor exploiting hi athletic prowess. Ban Francisco. Cal.. Nor. 21. With the Stanford university student body aroused to a lighting pitch, and the University of Calif ornia students resting with utmost confidence in their team, the two rival camps today were waiting the clash of their football team in the big game Saturday. , The Stanfordite were aroused yesterday when their huge bonfire. scheduled to be burned at a rally tonight, was set on tire by a time bomb and utterly consumed. AU yesterday afternoon and last night the entire Cardinal student body worked feverishly to build another pile so that the bonfire might be held: The Berkeley lads last night had guards stationed on Charter Hill to prevent the big C there from be ing painted Cardinal red. The guard will be maintained constantly until game time. Meanwhile, little happened at the rival football camps, with both squads starting their tapering off practice. Thursday the Bears will leave for the Castlewood country clubs to remain there In seclusion until game time and the Stanford gridders will leave for their place ot relaxation a day later. All of the California players were in first class condition while among the Cardinal players. Seaman, tackle, and Heinecke, center, wen recovering from attacks of the flu.

EYES OF EAST CENTER UPON YALEBATTLE Peru's society men are demanding imported shirts for regular wear. New York. Nov. 21. ftPI There will be better and more Important football games played next Satur-' day. but Harvard and Yale are meeting on the gridiron, backed by a wealth ot tradition that will not be denied. Disappointing as the showing of the crimson and the blue may have been this season, there remains an aura over the 47th combat between these ancient rivals which Is lacking elsewhere. The future Jobs of coaches of the rival elevens may depend upon the outcome of the battle in Yale BowL for already the alumni of Harvard are yelling for the hide of Araie Horween and the graduates ot Yale are out for the scalp of Mai Btevens. It once was customary for the sec ond guessers to await the outcome ot the climatic game of the season be fore demanding that a coach be re moved, but football has advanced financially to a place where con stant success Is all-Important. Both Harvard and Yale have had a season fraught with disappoint ment In the case of each of these oil rivals, lack of material can not be claimed as the cause of failure. It Is many seasons since Harvard , has had a line with the power and aggressiveness of its 1028 team. Yale has plenty of great backs, and aside from a weakness in the wing posl-. tions boasts a line which should-be' able to bold its own against the best in the country. Word comes from New Haven that Mai Stevens has found himself hampered by student politics, which. in tne case ol Yale, means fraterni ties, during his first season as head coach. A number of men apparently caoable of playing first-class foot ball have been delegated to the side lines. However much truth there mav ba In these reports. It I obvious that Yale had not made the most of Its material this year. Dayton. Ore..
