Oregon’s Fine Field
The University of Oregon will ded
icate one of the finest football fields
on the Pacific coast during the 1919
season. If present plans are carried
out the dedication will be held Home
coming day, November 15. The Uni
versity of Oregon and the Oregon
Athletic Club are scheduled to play
on that date.
Idaho’s Opening Game
The football season of the Univer
sity of Idaho will open October 18
with a game with Oregon at Moscow.
Active football practice will be start
ed by the University of Idaho team
September 15, giving Coach W. C.
Bleamaster more than a month to
whip his men into shape before the
first important game of the season,
a meeting with the University of Ore
gon on October 18.
Two former University of Oregon
4 stars, Mitchell, who played left end,
and Gardner, who played half-back,
are ou^vith the Olympic club football
squad m San Francisco this season.
The San Francisco clubmen have
scheduled a game with the Keel
club of Long Beach, Cal., for Thanks
gving day. Jack Spaulding, football
commissioner, is attempting to ar
range a game with some central Cali
fornia team at Stockton or Sacra
menta, Cal., for Christmas time.
A brawny young clergyman, the Rev.
A. Ralph Fp3ai"'\v, member of the
Mu 'nomah Ath etic, Club of Port
land and pastor of a chu-ch in Ore
gun. is the ehamo'on pole vaulter ol
fhe Pacific co i * and one of the bes.
broad and high jumpers vest of the
Rocky mountain-.
In a meet held recently at Tacoma,
Wash., Spearow swept over the cross
bar at a height of 13 feet 3-8 inches,
establishing a new coast record. The
world’s record is 13 feet 214 inches.
The athletic minister is 23 years
old, five feet nine inches tall and
weighs 150 pounds.
Record-Breaking Fish
An eleven and a quarter pound spot
croaker, said to be more than two
pounds heavier than any fish of this
species caught in California waters,
and so far as known in any port on the
Pacific coast north of Ensenada,
Lower California, was brought to gaff
at Encinitas, near San Diego. George
E. Fisher, a San Diego cigarmaker,
made the catch.
A search of the San Diego Rod and
Reel club’s records revealed no entry
above nine pounds and one ounce for
croakers. Ed Pearson, an angler of
wide experience, who keeps a record
of “freak” or unusual catches in local
waters for the La Jolla biological
station, and the Smithsonian Insti
tute, conceded that Fisher’s was a
phenomenal catch.
Noted Swimmers
Fanny Durack and Mina Wiley, the
Australian world’s champion swim
mers, who recently left Chicago to
participate in swimming meets in
many parts of the country, tried for
: two years to arrange the tour they
have at last started.
The unsuccessful attempt of Wil
liam Unmack in 1917 to obtain au
thorization of the Amateur Athletic
Union for the trip was duplicated
this year by George Dowsing, whose
proposal to accompany the young
women as guardian and manager
failed of approval. Fears were ex
pressed lest an attempt should be
made to capitalize the talents of the
i.'.r.T-'i'—
I swimmers. The tour finally was ar
ranged through the efforts of Freder
ick Ruoien, after much correspon
dence and telegraphing to New York.
Prior to their final appearances in
the United States, at Portland, Ore.,
and Seattle, Wash., it was announced
that the swimmers would participate
in a national event at Alameda, across
the bay from San Francisco, and at
Los Angeles, Cal.
Miss Durack has held all women’s
swimming records from 50 yards to
the mile. Her record for the 50
yards has been tied by Olga Dorfner
at 29 seconds. She has a record of
49 4-5 seconds, a half second better
than the best American record for
75 yards. Her other records are: 100
yards, 1.06; 220 yards, 2.57; quarter
mile, 6.17; half mile, 12.52; mile,
26.08.
The record for the 100-yard breast
stroke, 1.28, is held by Miss Wylie,
i She is a former holder of the records
for the 50, 100, 220 and 440 yards, free
style, and now finishes only a whisper
behind Miss Durack.
