TTTR MORXTXa OREGOIAN, TTTESTJAT. NOVEMBER 4, 1913. V V TINY HALF BACK IS TEAM'S RELIANCE Small, 128-Pounder, Feature in All Games Played by Willamette. CREDIT IS DUE SWEETLAND Methodist Coach, Working Under Big Handicap, Builds Up Winners of tight Material Salem Score Not Altogether "Fluke." Seldom does It fall to the lot of a 128-Dound athlete to play the hero role under modern footDall conditions, where brawn is secondary only to more tirawn. But Sophomore Small, of Will e.mette University, is the exception to the rule. It was Small's nimble footworK, nerve find keen perception together with his ability to "fall on the ball." that en abled Willamette to defeat big brother Oregon last Saturday in the memorable upset at Salem. The score was 6-3 in Willamette's Javor and Halfback Small was respon sible for the six. The 128-pound wonder, who should more properly have been decorating the kindergarten row In the grandatand, sailed down the muddy gridiron under one of his teammate's punts, and, when Oregon's defensive quarterback fum bled, took a flying leap through the air and landed on the pigskin behind the goal line for the winning touchdown. Luck May Not Be All. That touchdown has been described both as "lucky" and "flukey." Perhaps there was more than luck in the score. A close observer of Dr. Sweetland's style of play is authority for the state ment that the wise Willamette mentor has bullded a particular formation around wiry little Small so as to, let him down the field unobstructed. Small is reputed to have scored one or more touchdowns In every game he has played, exactly as he did against Oregon, an a result of fumbles by the defensive backs. At any rate. Coach Sweetland quite naturally Is Jubilant, for the victory puts Willamette on a par with other big universities of the Northwest in a football sense. This, too, despite the fact that Dr. Sweetland has about 2S per cent their material on which to draw. His team this year averages only 160 pounds, which is less than at least two Portland high elevens. Conch Works Under Handicap. The defeat of Oregon calls attention to the wonderful elevens that Coach Sweetland has been turning out year after year under great handicaps. He has captured the non-conference cham pionships consistently stnce his advent at Salem. Two years ago the Methodists battled against the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis in one of the fiercest games of the Kali and the Aggies won out by only the narrowest margin. The score was 5-3. Last year Willamette met only Oregon of the conference teams and Oregon was able to amass 12 points on the home field. Saturday's defeat of Oregon and live walloping handed the Multnomah club In 1910 are triumphs that will long be remembered at the state capital. Last Thanksgiving day Willamette defeated the University of Montana by a 30-9 score, and that is another memoraDle athletic victory. All lh all, Willamette University is decidedly fortunate in being able to hold a coach of the caliber of its pres ent football tutor. OREGON' COACH NOT WORRIED Mistake of IMnying Wenk Iine Ajrainst Willamette Admitted. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 3. (Special.) "Forget it," said Coach Bezdek, when he arrived yester day from Seattle, where he watched Washington crush Whitman Saturday. This sentiment In regard to the en counter with Willamette is general around the campus, the students tak ing a philosophical view of the matter and priming themselves for the all important games with Oregon Agricul tural College and Washington. There is considerable wrath felt here over the misstatements printed in a Portland paper concerning the farce at Salem. There Is no disposition to dis parage the Willamette team, nor to detract from the credit due Coach Sweetland, who has made a wonderful showing, considering the football ma terial which is at his disposal. It Is freely admitted that a mistake was made In playing substitutes and men who had taken part in a hard tight the day before. In view of the un expected strength which Sweetland's eleven was showing. However, the fact remains that Oregon was not at any time represented by her first lineup. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 3. Walter L.

Managers of Teams to Direct Work of Marking Xew Gridiron and Adjusting Goal Posts. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) With the construction of a new walk from the end of Lyon street to Athletic Park arrangements will be complete for the big University of Oregon-Oregon Agrioultural College football game in this city next Saturday. All of the bleachers are ud and 305 feet of walk laid Inside the park. This new walk Inside the park will enable the spectators to reach any seat in the bleachers without walking on the ground. There will be none of the mud that was encountered last year. William Eagles, chairman of the Al bany Commercial Club committee on arrangements, said today that the sidewalk to the grounds will be placed at once and all that will then remain to be done before the whistle blows will be the shifting of the goalposts a short distance southward and the lay ing off of the field. This work will be done under the personal direction of the managers of the two teams. The defeat of the University of Ore gon team by Willamette University at Salem Saturday is stimulating interest in next Saturday's game and will in crease the attendance. while It is realized that Oregon's defeat was due largely to overconf idence, it also is realized that Oregon cannot go to sleep and win from the Corvallis aggregation Saturday. This fact, coupled with re ports from the -Oregon Agricultural College campus that the team of that Institution is enjoying a revival both In spirit and team-work, leads to the belief that the game will be hotly con tested. COLUMBIA - HILL GAME NEXT University Team Will Outweigh Academy Eleven Tomorrow. The ninth football game of the Port land Interscholastic League will be played tomorrow afternoon when the Columbia University and Hill Military Academy elevens battle on Multnomah Field. The game is scheduled to start at 3 o'clock. The Columbia team will outweigh Moore's squad more than 15 pounds to the man. Coach Calllcrate's players weighing in the neighborhood of 153 pounds. Phllbin, last year's all-star-center, is in the lineup of the Peninsula team, which brings the weight up con siderable in view of the fact that Phil bin tips the beam at about 200 pounds. Malarkey, another Columbia star who has been out of the game for the past few contests on account of a bad ankle, may be seen in a portion of the affair but no chances will be taken to have him injured before the Lincoln-Columbia game scheduled for three weeks hence. The Hill team is without tne services of Halfback Stinson because of parental objection. McNeil has been switched to the backfleld. in place of Stinson. Roscoe Fawcett will referee, with the head linesman and umpire to be chosen later. Following is the prospective lineups of the two elevens: Hill. Tlramermln , .......C... Band R G L. Calhoun HTL.

I i, ; "ru I I F f - I ? . j j III jvX f RIVALS UNGERTA N ON EVE OF STRIFE No Cocksuredness Will Mark Annual Struggle Between and Aggie Teams. SALEM REVERSE PUZZLING Beidek's Squad Has Only Slight Shade as to Weight Panting De partment of Oregon Stronger Than Corvallis Kickers. BY ROSCOE FATTCETT. While the past fortnight has fur nished sad shocks to the football tal ent, both at the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College, one thing is certain there will be no cock-suredness on either side when these bitter enemies settle their annual grievance at Albany next Saturday aft ernoon. Perhaps not for years has such an air of uncertainty settled about the rival campuses. Up to Saturday, Oregon adherents were sure of victory. The size of the score appeared to them the only mat ter of moment. That early confidence is gone and as a result the box Office is sure to show Increased affluence at Albany. About the only source of fore-doping the state muss Is furnished through the Multnomah Club medium. Idaho defeated Washington State 3-0 and Multnomah defeated the same crew 7-0. Then Oregon walloped Idaho, 27-0. That would seem to give Oregon three or four touchdowns over Mult nomah, yet the best the Oregon Aggies could draw from Multnomah was one 6-0 defeat and a 7-7 tie. Oregon Backers Puzzled. But the 6-3 Willamette reverse now flames across the heavens like a chunk of red cambric flung before a mad dened bull. Oregon supporters don't know what to make of it. They are hoping for the best, and the best well, you know what that is! So far as comparing the rival state elevens, perhaps no two more equally matched in weight have represented" their alma maters in many years. Both forward lines are well-balanced and heavy, Oregon possessing a shade of three or four pounds, which is not enough to swing any material advan tage in Coach Bezdek's favor. Oregon's line likely will average between 182 and 185 pounds; the Aggies approxi mately 180 pounds. These weights perhaps will not cor respond with those sent out from the rival camps, but approximately they are correct. In the back field no vast difference in style is noted. The Aggies have two big men Blackwell and Abrahams and Oregon one Fullback Bryant. The Aggies back field will average around 163 pounds, with little Dewey In at quar ter, and Oregon about 157, with 130 pound Cornell directing play. Oregon has In Johnny Parsons a veritable whirlwind on attack, and, if Johnny is in good physical trim next Saturday, his presence alone should be sufficient to give the lemon-yellow a shade on offense. New Men May Stop Parsons. In the 3-0 battle last Fall at Albany the Aggies found it almost Impossible to stop this Portland demon. With new extremity men, May and Huntley, and more formidable tackles, there may be a different story ere another week. In the punting department, Fenton, of Oregon, will have It on Blackwell. Fenton won two games for Oregon last year by accurate placements from the field, the Aggie game being one of them; but Coach Stewart has an equally effective toe artist in game little "Swede" Larsen, the greatest pigskin booter ever .hatched on the Scandlnvian peninsula. Special trains conveying Portland en thusiasts to the scene of the big foot ball scrap will leave the North Bank depot about 12:15 P. M. That will bring the fans to the sidelines at 2:45, or 15 minutes before Referee Varnell's whistle sends the athletes together. - IVan Walker, p-raduate manager at civ m m.i tv w ii'wiMiHMtnpv-' 1 mi ' Plfe'lMft "uWi ill Oregon, is expected In Portland today to complete arrangements for the trains, tickets and other incidental fea tures. Manager Walker expects 2000 Port land fans will watch the game. WELCOME TO VICTORS NOISY Aberdeen Celehrates Defeat of Ta coma Football Team. ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 3. (Spe cial. Aroused to enthusiasm by the 13 to 7 victory which the- Aberdeen High School won over the Stadium High School at Tacoma last Saturday, a crowd of 2000 students and townsfolk turned out last night to welcome home the Aberdeen players and the band of rooters that accompanied the team to Tacoma. Mingled with the yells of the students and the cheers of the crowd were the ringing of cowbells, the toot ing of auto horns and the music of the band. Aberdeen has had no celebration Just like it In the history of the city. The victory over Tacoma Saturday leaves but three teams in the state with a right to claim the scholastic chain, plonshlp, these three being Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Everett. The differences between Aberdeen and Hoquiam wil" be cleared by the Thanksgiving day contest. SPOKANE ENTRIES HERE MAXAGEB BLOMBER.G IX SOX XAMES TRIO. PER- Much Enthusiasm Shown Over Meet to Be Held at Multnomah Club Xovember IS and 14. Three entries of the Spokane Amateur Athletic Club were received yesterday in the Pacific Coast amateur meet to be held at Multnomah Club November 13 and 14. F. J.
