MULTNOMAH FACES GRUELLING BATTLE TRIO OF UNIVERSITY OF OEEGON PLAYERS WHO WILL PIT BRAWN AGAINST MULTNOMAH CLUB IN ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DAY GAME ON LOCAL FIELD. Oregon Eleven, Rejuvenated, Is Likely to Give Clubmen, Tussle of Season. WEIGHT IS ABOUT SAME Portland Experts Think Parsons and Bailey Will Furnish Plenty of Excitement on TuTkey Day. ' Corvallis Not "Yellow." BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Multnomah Club 9, Oregon A7glei 0. Oregon 3, Oregon Aggies 0. Peruse the above abbreviated story of the Fall's football record In so far as It concerns the three strongest elevens In the state, and then try to pick the winner of the annual Univer sity of Oregon-Multnomah Club grid iron clash Thanksgiving -afternoon on Winged M field. That Multnomah Is in for one of the most terrific struggles in many years is the candid belief of the several hun dred Portland rooters who witnessed the Saturday Aggie rout at Albany. "Spec" Hulburt and "Rat" Rlnehart. captain and ex-captain of the Multno mah clubmen, were among those on the sidelines. Both came back labeled with the tag of conservatism. Oregon appears finally to have leaped the jump. A rejuvenated eleven will stack up against Multnomah Thurs day afternoon. The awakening of any athletic team is seldom physical. It was not physical at Albany. Call it mental, spiritual or psychological or anything you want. The facts are the Oregon days of depression are gone the heavy state varsity has suddenly re ceived new impetus of soul and or spirit and if the coaches can keep up the old "amblsh" to Saturday's level there's likely to be some cracking about four days after this Jumble ol jargon la set up in type. "Oregon is almost as heavy as Mult nomah and I expect a fierce ba"le; declared Captain Hurlburt. of the Mult nomah. "We will have to watch this Parsons closely. He was the biff star Saturday. Cook. too. hit the line well and proved a great defensive player, although a trifle slow. Bailey and Holden both are bulwarks of the hu gene tribe." Bill Main, assistant coach at Ore gon and the big star of the 1911 KMon. thinks Oregon haa finally found its stride. But Bill also believes the Aggies played below form at Albany. "In my freshman year In l9;8. were the under dogs by odds of S to 1. but Oregon won. 8 to 0." said Bin. "We always outstrip them. After the third quarter they laid down.' Main's reflections against the game-j ness of the Aggies are echoed on every hand. But Main is wrong and so are all the other libelers of the Coryallis hosts. The Aggies battled manfully, but they were outweighed, overpowered and tld up Into a bowknot when the varsity kicked off its winding sheet about 2:54 Saturday afternoon. Nobody has ever accused old John Harvard of yellowness, yet for 25 years, until this Fall, the Princeton Tiger had taken a gnaw at the Cambridge shin, while it had been a matter of 11 years since the red-sox warriors had been able to do a Piccadilly prance across the Blue goal line until Saturday. Like Harvard, the Aggies have had to buck up against the stonewall of tradition, and tradition in the Oregon case Satur day on the neutral field proved about 10 strokes better than bogle. Ed Bailey. 227-pound Oregon right tackle, ushered out his college football career in a flame of glory. Stacked against the star. Everett May. shifted over from the right side of the scrim mage by Coach Dolan. Bailey was on the charge from whistle to whistle. Be It said for May that he had just emerged from a hospital and played against his doctor's orders, but Spartan courage proved unequal to the' task of standing off the terrific plunging of his behemoth antagonist. , Just why the Oregon coaches have not used Bill Holden. Portland 185 pounder. at left tackle before this sea son is a conundrum. The ex-Washington High and Hill Military lineman had the purpose and also the punch all through the game. Bailey, on account of his bulk, was most conspicuous, but, oddly enough, it was on cross bucks and off tackle plunges through Holden that Parsons chalked up all of his yardage. He couldn't have done It un less Holden and Hall were hewing out some sort of a pathway. a Oregon loses only Bailey and Captain Walker next Fall, and whoever is as signed to the coaching should fall heir to a winning combination. The Aggies will graduate Evenden, perhaps May, and Chrisman. The last mentioned is rounding out only his second season at Corvallls. but he wore the moleskins for two years at Central University In Kentucky. Whitman College will suffer most by loss of stars. The two big tackles, Nelll and Cleman, McCoy at center and Blomqulst, have served their allotted time, while Captain Nlles is considering entering either Pennsylvania or Dart mouth for a final year on the gridiron. At Washington, Presley and Griffiths are the only four-year players. Patton end Bliss have been on the varsity for three seasons, and Doble may lose one of them. It was a fortunate thing for the offi cials of Saturday's game that Oregon finished to the good, even though the difference was only three points.

SIDE BET WILL BE STAKE Johnny Wolff Favors Morning Con test That He May Attend Foot ball Game In Afternoon Cap tain Smith Makes Proviso. Portland motorboat fans will un doubtedly see the three wonderful speed craft, Oregon wolf. Swastika and Va moose, hooked up in a special match race for a big side bet on New Tear's day. Johnny Wolff, designer of the Wolf, the Coast champion free-for-all, accept ed the challenge issued by R. F. Cox, owner of the Swastika, , Saturday and Captain Milton . Smith, of Rainier, got In the game yesterday, voicing pleasure at the opportunity to pit his Coast champion 26-footer, the Vamoose, against his rivals for a substantial side bet. Vamoose Owner Makes Proviso. "I will accept John E. Wolffs prop osition to take part in a motorboat race on New Tear's day, provided they will let me borrow an engine, says Captain Milton E. Smith, of Rainier, owner of the Vamoose, the Pacific Coast 26-foot champion. R. F. Cox is out of the city hunting ducks, but since there are few better engines than that which formerly rested in the Vamoose, he for one is not expected to remonstrate against the Rainier boat. Wolff will probably jook at the matter in the same light. ' The Swastika showed itself to be one of the fastest boats at the annual As toria regatta. In spurts. The spurts have been eliminated and the Bixon brothers, pilot and engineer of the craft, are confident that they can beat even jthe Wolff. Wolff Wants Morulas; Race. The Vamoose engine was the cause of the boat not winning the Elks' re gatta this year and what the boat would do with another engine is a matter of speculation. The regular en gine has been sent East for repairs and a general overhauling, which is ex pected to make the Boat a regular win ner at the next Summer's races. In his answer to the challenge. Wolff asks that the race be started at 10:30 in the morning and that the course be from the Portland Motorboat Club to the mouth of the Willamette River and return, a distance 01 it miles. Wolff's reason for a morning race is his anxiety about seeing tne football game In the afternoon. WPTOX'S VISIT AIDS YACHT I3fG Portland Enthusiast Return From San Francisco Sleeting. Elwood Wiles and George 8. Shep herd. Portland's representatives at the Upton boating conference at San Fran cisco last week, returned from the South last night, and both declare that the Tea King's visit to the Coast haa stimulated yachting and motorboating on the Pacific Coast. "Although nothing definite was de cided upon at the meeting, the tenta tive plans for the races of 1915, the year of the Exposition, Indicate that meet will be the biggest water affair the world has ever known." said Mr. Wiles last night. "Sir Thomas Upton called for a meeting of yacht men only, but before the meeting adjourned plans for the biggest motorboat event, as well as yachting, had received the approval of practically all those who attended. "Mr. Shepherd and myself were the only two men who were actively In terested in motorboats, and we believe that we have stirred matters up prop erly in the South. Before we left we heard talk of a good motor meet In 1913, and it not then, the year fol lowing. "San Francisco has a fine place for races. We went over the course best adapted to motorboats and found It to be excellent. The yacht races would have to be staged out In the ocean, as the boats which Upton challenged are known as the 23-meter class and would be too large to handle in the bay, ow ing to the many other boats which would be on the course. "The various clubs of the cities around the bay are re-organizing and some of them are combining with oth ers. After the affairs of all are re adjusted and settled some good races probably will be staged, even before the big events." Mr. Wiles also represented the Pa cific International Power Boat Asso ciation and urged the extension of the association to the clubs of California. Many of those concerned have taken the matter under consideration and the proposed races may take place under the rulej which have successfully gov erned contests In the North. Samuel Perkins, a Tacoma water en thusiast, and Miller Freeman, of Seat tle, were also at the conference In the Interest of yachting. Mr. Perkins has come interested in motorboats and is endeavoring to have the next Pacific Coast championship races take place at Tacoma instead of Astoria, the usual place. Everett will be the only other con tender for the event. Astoria seems to show no ambition to have the events again. If races become a reality at San Francisco in 1913 Portland will be rep resented by a new Wolff creation, ac cording to Mr. Wiles. MICHIGAX MAY JOIN" BIG NIXE Wolverines Expected to Go Back to Central Conference Athletics. CHICAGO, Nov. 24. The return of the University of Michigan to the "Big Nine" conference and Its participation In conference athletics no later than next Spring was predicted by men in touch with the situation here today, after a secret meeting of conference representatives, who got together last night at the close of the football sea son. The Universities of Chicago and Illi nois are willing to welcome Michigan back. It is said. The only feature of Michigan athletics not in accord with conference customs is the training table, and Michigan is said to be wil ling to forego this. The University of Minnesota has been urging the return of Michigan for some time. The enlarged conference might be considered unwieldy and the sugges tion that Michigan again become a member of the "Big Nine" brought forth an intimation that splitting up the organization might be the next thing with the larger universities into a "Big Four" or "Big Five" and the other members In a similar organiza tion.

William Neil, right tackle of the Whitman football team, was burned about the tace by an explosion of sul phuric acid yesterday, though it is not believed that it will keep him out of the game between Whitman and Idaho, Thursday. The accident occurred in the chemis try laboratory at Whitman, where Neil was experimenting. Something went wrong and the acid bottle exploded hurling the fiery stuff into the faces of Neil and Professor KODert ciarK. Neil's Injury is not the only one both ering Coach Hahn, as Utter, left guard, has the grippe; Clark, right guard, has tonsllltls, and Captain Neils received two broken ribs In the Washington State College game. The injuries, how ever, will not prevent their starting in the game. WOODBTTEN ATHLETIC CLUB WILL PLAY ITS FINAL GAME WITH PIEDMONT TEAM THURSDAY.

M'CREDIE DUE FROM EAST Beaver Manager Expected to Have Interesting News of Deals Banm Signs New Umpire "Iron Man" Looms as Owner. "Portland needs a couple of pitchers and a new first baseman," says "Pop" Dillon. Los Angeles baseball leader. In commenting on the needs of the Bea vers for 1913. "McCredie's pitchers, the same ones that fell down this sea son, are apt to come back next year and be world beaters. It Is hard to tell what pitchers will do." Continuing, Dillon thus summarizes the needs of the clubs in the Pacific Coast League before they will be strong enough for a championship struggle: New first baseman for Oak land, Berger back, two new outfield ers and two new pitchers for Los An geles, better catchers and a second baseman at San Francisco and stronger pitchers at Vernon. He thinks Sac ramento will have a fairly good team next season. Walter McCredie, manager of the Portland Beavers, failed to arrive in Portland last night, as scheduled, but undoubtedly will drop in today from his Middle Western trip. Vice-President Barnard, of the Cleveland club, met Manager "Mac" at Milwaukee and several deals were consummated. Up at Tacoma Ed Watkins says that "Iron Man" McGlnnlty, the Bat Nelson of baseball pitchers, Is coming to the Northwest on December 5 to close the deal for the purchase of the North western League Tigers. Central League writers would have it that Joe is dick ering with several owners for a club in that circuit, the theory being that Kbbetts. owner of the Brooklyn Cubs, s trying to establish a new farm through the ex-Giant slabster. Grand Rapids Is the latest club Joe is said to have his eyes on. "Three years ago McGlnnlty was after the Grand Rapids franchise," writes one of the experts, "and lost It bv a day. Next he tried for the Terre Haute franchise, and was not success ful. This season he is again on a dicker with Bert Annis for Grand Rapids. However, Annis has lost money for two years, has a big Investment in a park, and probably will scare off the probable purchaser by asKing lor too much money." Tacoma fans are already figuring on the banishment of Mike Lynch from the Tiger team, McGlnnlty assuming the management and playing a regular po sition. Ducky Holmes and other men are said to be scouting for Joe, who ex pects to start off with a team which will be In the running for the 1913 flag. ru-,w tttriri., nf a. fAw seasons aero, may be an American League umpire next season.

Lighter, Is Feared and Clubmen Will Practice Every Day Until Game. Captain "Spec" Hurlburt made his final selections for the Multnomah Club lineup in the Turkey day football game against the University of Oregon Thursday. The Winged M eleven will average close to 181 pounds, one of the heaviest aggregations in the history of the institution, but Oregon will like ly be well up around 177, so weight is not expected to out much of a figure. Captain Hurlburt, at any rate, doesn't Intend taking any chances and has called special night signal sessions for tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock. All the boys were out Sunday morning, despite the game the afternoon before. Thursday's game will start promptly at 2 o'clock and Dow Walker will place the seats on sale downtown this morning.

"Sap" Latou rette will likely relieve Rlnehart In one or two quarters. Other substitutes are Ludlam, Montague, Wells, Rupert, Dru gard and Ople Smith. Jewish Boys to Play Basketball. The Jewish Boys' Athletic Club bas- ketball team will go to Mount Angel Thanksgiving to play the club team of that town.
