OREGON TEAM SAID TO HAVE AD-
VANTAGE IN MAN-FOK-MAN
COMPARISON.
vard's game no doubt will bo centered
around this splendid back. I hope the
rumor* of big being ill are not true.
l'he game should be hard fought down
to the \ery end with both linen playing
stubbornly in defense. Both teams no
doubt will display a series of offensive and
defensive maneuvers of a higher stage of
development than any yet shown on the
• Oil si.
Whichever team is quickest to take ad-
vantage of the breaks, that team should
win. Oregon may, however, uncork n be-
wildering attack unknown to anything
Harvard has run up against. In that event
the winner will have been through a clofte,
keenly contested game of football with Hip
result in doubt until the last whistle has
blown.
By LEFTY FLYNN,
Former Yule Football Star.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 26.- Harvard
and Oregon will meet in Pasadena on
New Year's Day in what promises to be
the greatest football battle ever fought
between the East and West.
It is hard to believe that cither team
will show the high brand of ball they
were playing before Thanksgiving. Keyed
to the highest pitch for their final games,
then breaking training, only to jump back
into the old grind again, a few weeks'
workout in the cages for the most part,
then a couple of thousand or more miles
on a train; Harvard and Oregon are both
apt to feel the strain considerably.
Oregon Huh Advantage.
Oregon, however, will have the Jump
on Harvard as far as becoming acclimated
with the California weather is concerned.
The Oregon Cniversiiy team has been on
the ground for the better part of a week,
while Harvard only arrived today This
in itself is a great asset In the Webfoot's
favor and which tuny • <«unt: a great deal
on the opening day of l'.tJO.
Oregon lias a really -;»• at football ma-
chine and 1 look for the Crimson to get
their biggest surprise of both the old year
and the new. Although, in my opinion,
inferior to some of her teams of a few
years ago. the claims of Harvard to su-
preme Eastern honors have great weight.
All season the tyen from Cambridge have
played good football.
Kicking no doubt will be of great Im-
portance. with It. Ilorween and Steers
sharing the honors, The work of the kick-
ers should be a great factor in leading
up to a score.
Harvard's line just prior to the Yale
game was said to be well niirht perfect.
I'rom ta< kle to tackle the Crimson ath-
letes are veritable giants. They have been
coached carefully all season and have dis-
played intelligence in the amount of foot-
ball thev have ahsorbed. Their forwards
are a shifty lot, but I doubt, man for tnau,
if they will come up to those of Oregon —
aud forwards deride most football games.
Ilorween and Casey Star*.
Ft. Ilorween is a heady punter, places
bis kicks well and gives his ends plenty
of time to catch them Although without
the service* df A. Brickley. Ilardwick. Wen-
dell or Malum, Oregon will find in Eddie
Casey a certain trait of each.
Casey Is a grand type of an all round
player. Whether as a leader of Interfer-
ence as a tackier, as a speedy end runner,
as a dodger in the open field, or player
through the line, he is a marvel. liar

BILLY COSMOS AT TRAVIS
WITH JEAN LA FRANCE.
Billy Cosmos, champion welterweight
1 boxer and pride of the 2d Division of Cauip
Travis, and Hud Logan of Chicago will
start off on the hard grind of training
today for their bout at Jack Shelton's club
. here on Juuuary 1.
Cosmos has been doing light work for
some time in preparation for a fight and
, also played football on the championship
Caiup Travis eleven during the season
Just closed. In addition he Is a basket-
ball "shark" and has been keeping in
trim by pastiming with the tossers.
Cosmos Shown t p (iood.
Yesterday Cosmos boxed with Jean La
France, Camp Travis heavyweight, and
for his first time out in a few weeks
showed up well with the gloves. Although
outweighed nearly forty pounds, he looked
mighty good against La France. F. G.
Brink, camp athletic officer, and others
who watched his training spoke in glow
ing terms of his boxing.
Cosmos will probably add Jack Love and
other army boxers to his staff of sparring
partners ami plans to put in some stren-
uous licks at Camn Travis. He has been
doing road work for several days and it
i« reported that he is not far from the
stipulated 145 pounds now The boxers
will make their weight at 3 o'clock, prac
tically seven hours before the bout, and
this means Cosmos will weigh right
around 150 ringside.
Logan plans to resume boxing today
a till will box with Hobby Green, Red Evans
and Billy Kane. He will probably box
at 1 o'clock, but It is possible he will
change his hour for boxing Monday to
5:30 or 0 o'clock In order that fans who
work can get a line on him.
Invite Fans to Workout*.
Bud made a great hit by his showing
against Waugh and large numbers of fans
who were unable to attend that bout wish
to see him train. Logan will box at I
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and a record
< rowd will doubtless view the workouts,
(ireen, Montez, Moody, Poncho, Evans and
other members of the cauliflower ear union
will don the big mitts No admission is
charged and visitors as well as club mem-
bers are welcome at the club to view the
workouts.
The nine basket-ball teams entered !n
the Camp Travis League are all busy prac-
ticing daily so as to be in fine fettle f«»r
the resumption of play on January 5.
Teamwork is being developed by the rival
fives to a surprising degree, and the lay-
off will mean more interesting games w n» u
the clubs resume play in the scheduled con-
tests.
Un»! of the most surprising upsets an 1
reversals of form ever seen at Travis took
place early this week when the '2,'ld Infan-
try defeated the 0th Infantry five 20 to 1.
In a practice game 'ess than a week pre-
vious the i)th Infantry quintet was vic-
torious by a score of about 40 to !». The
17th Field Artillery won rom the 23d, 18
to 17, in the ouly other league game staged
to date. As a result, the 17th is topping
the circuit with a perfect percentage, while
the 23d has a mark of .500 and the 0th has
lost one game uud won one.
Brink to Go on Leave.
Lieut, i'. (i. Brink. Camp Travis athletic
officer, will leave for Ithaca, N. \\, early
next week on a leave of absence. While
away he will renew old friendships at Cor-
nell University and also will get an intro-
duction to his youngest sou, who is but
three weeks old.
Lieut. Brink hopes to get an army basket
ball league started upon his return, with
Camp Normoyle, Camp Stanley. Brooks
Field, Kelly Field. Fort Sam Houston and
Camp Travis entering court fives. A hand-
some trophy has been offered for the win-
ner of such a league scheduled by the Fox
Company.
Boxing will also be resumed at Camp
Travis upon Brink's return, and the new
year is expected to start off in a blaze
of glory as far as all forms of athletics
are concerned. Brink was formerly boxing
instructor at Cornell and Is a strong boost-
er for the ring sport. He thinks boxing a
great help t<> keep the soldiers in perfect
condition and also figures that bouts will
provide Interesting amusement for tttt

been offered a fight with Johnny Celmarg
in Dallas for early next month. Logan
has wired for full particulars regarding
weight and terms, and if these meet his ap-
proval doubtless will accept.
Celmars is a good man and In a fight a
year ago beat Bobby Waugh so badly in
a round that the bout was stopped. Later
Waugh defeated him in a return engage-
ment. Celmars also whipped the stuffing
out of Dixon, ariny middleweight fighter
from a local camp, and punished him so
severely that Dixon was in a hospital for
some time after the scrap.
Logan figures that since Waugh won
from Celmars In their second fight that
ho can beat Johnny, and la willing to
take a chance. He has asked Celmars to
make 150 pounds ringside and If he does
and the guarantee is sufflcent Bud will
take the match.
Celmars is a terrific hitter and a rush-
ing. slambang fighter who is very aggres-
sive.

A fellow was in my plaza store Wednesday; I asked
him $27.85 for a Kirschbaum suit that cost $23.50;
This suit was carried over and was an exceptional value.
He said he could buy them for less over in
England, and I told him the next boat left
for England Saturday noon, to hurry up—
go over there and get one.
I want to tell you folks, they might sell clothes
for less money than I do over in England but
not in San Antonio.
