Eugene, Nov. 2L (Special.) Struggling and brave ly fighting to the last, the football team of Pacific University went down to defeat before the onslaughts of the Univer sity of Oregon eleven today, and the game closed -with a score of 70 to 0; In the varsity's favor. The Oregon men played like fiends incarnate and time and again they tore through the visitors' line as if it were paper. The 'varsity players put up a vicious game, though not correspond ingly rought. and with their splendid In terference and indomitable spirit they made almost everyone of their plays net big gains, being stopped only by the dar ing tackling of their lighter opponents. From the size of the score it may seem that the touchdowns came almost without effort, but such is not the case. Oregon earned every yard she gained, and it was by her superior team work and enappy playing that she made the score. The Pacific players were in good shape and put up a strong and. gxitty game, not wavering even, to the last in the face of an overwhelming defeat. Every man on the Oregon eleven played a star game, but the backs. Goodrich and Templeton, at halves, and Hale, at full back, won the admiration of the specta tors. Agnln and again they hammered the line and skirted the ends for marvel ous gains, only to meet a sure tackle from Fullback Mlllls, of the opposing team. Thayer, at right tackle, showed up today In snlendld form, and his offensive work was a surprise to all. He was ever slip pery and hard to hold, and several times it took more than one man to bring him down. Watts and Kerron sustained their previous records of good work, and the latter, .made .good .galps, with. the. ball. For the visitors, Mlllls, at right half, played the star game. Although painfully injured at the beginning of the first half, he stayed in the game until the middle of the last half. His tackling was superb, and his punts sensational. Fletcher, Bar nett and Day each played good ball, while Toder. at center, several times got through Oregon's line and blocked the play. Oregon Xever Held for Downs. During the entire game, the university learn was not held for downs once, nor was Oregon forced to punt. Pacific had the ball only three times, receiving it on kick-off once, and gaining it on fumbles twice. Two of these times she was forced to punt or lose the ball on downs, and tho third time a place kick from the 40-yard line, but the play was blocked and Oregon cot the balL Fumbles were rare. Pacific juggling but once and the Oregon five times, however, regaining it in every case but two. Despite his brilliant worlc. Tern nleton was nerfectlv hoodooed when it fnmn tn itlritlntr iroals. Of the 13 chances. each one being f airland square fn front of the posts, he kicked only five. A re ception was given to the visiting teamat the dormitory this evening, by the co-ed's of the university. When seen tonight Coach McFadden, of Forest Grove said: "Oregon was undoubt edlv in the game today. Her men played too fast and they were too heavy for Pacific" Captain Watts, of Oregon., said: "Wo played our hardest in today's game and our big runs were tne results ox goou. in terference only." Story of the Game. The first half began by the home team kickine off to the visitors, who defended the west goal. The pigskin was advanced five'vards. After two unsuccessful at tempts at the lines) Mills punted to Good rich.

Oregon again lost on a fumble, .Facinc fumbiea and Chandler fell on the balL Then Oregon waded into her opponents for big gains and Jordan took tho ball for a 30-yard run and a touchdown. Templeton kicked tha sroal. Mlllls kicked off to Templeton, who advanced the ball 23 yards. After bucks by Goodrich and Hale, Thayer took the bal around left tackle for 20 yards.

Oregon made two more touchdowns during the first half, each one being made by fierce line buckc and end runs. Score: Oregon, 27: Pacific, 0. The second half began with Oregon fresh from the interim. The same pro cess of hammering the line and running around cnas was repeated but with more vim. The game became monotonous with spectacular runs until the last minute when the Eugene team had 25 yards to make for the 30th touchdown. Pacific in her dilapidated state took a brace, but In vain. Oregon scored. The day was perfect, and the field hard and do. A large crowd was present, and enthusiasm ran high. Owing to illness, Payne, the crack fullback of the Oregon eleven, did nor participate in the game. The teams lined up as follows: ftrrcron. 70 Position. Pacific. 0.

Great Change Will Be Made in Ta conta Team Next Season. At the close of the most prosperous sea son in the history of the game, the Ta coma Baseball Club is likely to undergo a thorough reorganization. Its manager, Jay Andrews, has taken the management of the Spokane team, and John S. Baker, the president, finds that his business for bids his continuing at the head of the' club. Mr. Baker, who Is now manager of the Fidelity Trust Company, of Tacomn, Is at the Portland Hotel, and said of the club to Tho Oregonlan last night: "I am trying to got out of active con nection with the club, for it takes too much of my tlmo away from business; but other men will take it up. This has been the most successful year financially In the history of the game In Tacoma, for we have, paid 100 per cent cash dividend, and this Is the first year a club In Ta camo has paid anything, while in 1S90 the club lost $13,000. "The club may be entirely different next year. We have not begun to sign players, not even any of last year's play ers, though w.e have reserved them all. We wanted' to keep Andrews as third baseman, for I consider him the best In tho league, but It would have been rather a come-down for him, and when he had an offer to go to Spokane as manager, we let him go. We may have to give up our grounds, and It Is difficult to find new ones with good transportation facilities." '.'Tacoma is growing, is it not?" "Yes, the city Is gaining new manufac tures, and is having a marked, substantial growth. It is still the largest port for the shipment of wheat, flour, coal and lumber on Puget Sound, though Seattle has far outstripped It In population. "I am In hopes you will make a grand success of the Lewis and Clark Fair. I believe it is a good thing, not only -for Portland, but for the whole Northwest, Including Puget Sound." Mr. Baker was formerly a leader in Democratic politics in Washington, but Is now devoting his time entirely to business, in which his interests are extensive. Ho is Interested in the Tacoma Grain Com pany, which has recently started a largo flour mill and controls about 50 elevators In the Interior. WALCOTT WANTS A FIGHT.

Hard-Fought Game by Both Teams Swope in 'Bad Condition and ' Docs Not Do Star Work. Portland High School and Bishop Scott Academy fought hard for victory yester day afternoon on Multnomah field, but, when time .was called, at the end of the second half, neither team had crossed Its opponent's goal line, and there were nothing but zeroes in the score .column. The Bishop Scott team was weakened on account of the absence of Frank Swope in the first half, and, even when ho went in, in the second he was in poor condition, and did not put up the star game that he Is capable of. Elmer Smith handled his team well, and made good yardage, but the High School boys seemed to get Into the play better, and kept the ball far from their goal line during the game. Three backs for the High School were in play all the time, and Holcomb did well in the punts. Zimmerman was called back for good runs a number of times during the game, and added greatly to the spectacular feature. The High School team was within strik ing distance of the Bishop Scott line sev eral times, once within the three-yard. line, but they could not deliver the goods, and the ball was kicked out to a place of safety by tho Bishop Scott hoot er. At the end of the game the ball was tossed for, the High School winning it. The line-up was: P. H. S. Position. B. S. A.

M'MINNVTLLE, Nov. 21. (Special.) The McMinnville football team and the ladles' basket-ball team arrived here this evening. The football team seems to be In fine condition. They have been train ing hard under Bruce Burnett for several weeks. The game tomorrow promises to be the hardest ever played on the home field. The home team has been strength ened by Adams, who will play his old position at end. The basket-ball game will probably go to Monmouth, but the home girls are go ing in to win. Bets on Harvard-Yale. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 21. An un precendented crowd of college men and their friends arrived here tonight and the vicinity of Yale campus presents a scene of bustle and excitement. More money will probably bo placed upon the Issue of tomorrow's contest than on any previous football game. Yale Is willing to give odds, some small bets even being, laid at two to one. In the main the wagers are threo to two', but larger wagers are rnutiouslv nlaced. Odds are oven that Harvard will not score. PHEASANTS GROW FEWER. Only 2000. Have Been Sold in Local Market Game Warden's Vievrs. There are not so many pheasants' on the local market this year as there were last. Up to date, only about 2000 -have been sold, while during the season last year over 6000 birds .passed through the hands of the local dealers. The reason for this condition of affaire is evident Birds are getting scarce. The best shooting grounds In the state Lane, Marlon and Linn Counties are getting bunted out. Everybody In the country Is going there after birds, and as the supply Is by no means Inexhaustible, something is happening. Yet the price of birds this year is com paratively cheap. They are selling for about $3 per dozen, with some sales re ported as low as 54 50 per dozen. At the beginning of tho aeaeon. tho dealers thought that the price would be high, a"nd birds sold as high as $7 50. Game Warden Qulmby Is working hard these days. Since the beginning of the pheasant season, he has corraled no fewer than 20 "sportsmen" who were sending the birds but of the state, or were doing something illegal and contrary to the game, laws. He thinks that birds ought riot to be sold. He said last night: "Do you know how many states pro hibit the marketing of game birds? Thirty-eight. Only 10 or 12 of the states and iVl3 ZlJ" 1"' i And Oregon Is one of thp etates that does. We ought to be ashamed. We really ought to. Why this la the best argument that we can put up for a law prohibition of marketing that 3S other states don't al low It'. "And the Idea of allowing a man to kill 50 ducks In a day. That's more than he can carry. Suppose they weigh four pounds apiece, which some of them do, why he'd have a 200-pound load to paclc with him, and. just think, he killed all of them. The East laughs at us. Yes, they laugh at us. for letting one man kill 50 ducks. It may be all fixed In time. I hope It will. "What should we do? We ought to pro hibit -marketing. Then we ought to give the farmers power to arrest any man trespassing on his land, and to get $10 for every bird found. That would fix 'em. That would, bring them to time. They wouldn't trespass any longer when they knew that every farmer could arrest them. We will fix all this up at the Legislature." Wigrjrs Signed by Cincinnati. Jimmy WIggs, who pitched such star ball oh the Helena team during the last season, has been signed by Cincinnati, and not by Cleveland, as was first report ed. Wiggs great record as a pitcher has spread ,ovcr the East, and it Is now up to him to. show the Easterners that every thing that has been said about him Is not all hot air. In regard to the contract. Sporting News says: "President Herrmann has received a signed contract from Pitcher James A. Wlggs, of Chicago. WIggs played last , delphia's greatest piano; the Victor Or year with the Helena (Mont.) team, and i cnestral grand size, v.-ith. Empire top; the was one of the star twirlers of the West. ' decker.

" LOWELL DAY OBSERVED. High School Students Take Part In Interesting Programme. Tho students of the Portland High School gathered In the large assembly hall yesterday afternoon and participated In a "Lowell day." Yesterday was the last school day before the Thanksgiving recess, as the days next week are to be devoted to examinations. There were in attendance yesterday at tTio nvornleoQ iVnnf 100ft norenna nil fnlfl including all the students In the school. Tho programme rendered consisted of music, and studies of Lowell and his works, being In detail as follows: 'The Dew Drop" Girls' chorus Essay "James Russell Lowell" ... wiuiam itueier Paper "A Study of the 'Biglow Pa pers' " Harley Giafke Two selections from "Biglow Papers" "The courtm' ' "The Pious Editor's Creed" Marie Le Barre Solo "it Was April" Eva Taylor. .Essay "A atuuy of the v ision of Sir ' Launiar Dorotny prosser Heading "The Vision of Sir Launfal" Anle ultchDurn Music "Merry June" rGlrls" chorus The essays were all carefully written, and read in a cleir style that was easily understood, and the recitations showed much preparation on the part of the speakers. Miss Prosser's essay on the; 'Vision of Sir Lanfal" brought out tho difference between that poem and Tenny son's "Sir Galahad," showing that the former was written along the lines o charity, 'and the latter, purity. The songs were all encored, and, as a whole, the assembled students showed much appre ciation for the good work done by the par-. tlcipants in the exercises. No More Cut Surety Rates.
