EOT AW ERE 8 GAMES HIIGI WASTE CURTAIN Reorganized Team to Be Tried Out Against Soldiers of , Vancouver Barracks. OREGON SHOWING ALARMS ConviH, Francis and Keck Changed to Give Backf leld Beef, Speed and rnnch Khaki Sqnad Ilaa ' More Weight Than Usual. ( With the annual Thanksgiving pame between the Multnomah Club and the University of Oregon less than one week distant. Winged M officials In alarm have ordered a complete over hauling: of the lineup, and this switch will be tried out for the first time tomorrow against a strong team from Vancouver Barracks. Ever since Oregon battled the cham pion University of Wa&hlngton to a 10-7 score, there has existed a feel ing of trepidation In the scarlet and white camp. That Oregon would en ter the game a heavy favorite unless srmething was done to give the club men greater scoring efficiency has been iroely admitted everywhere. In the three big games thus far Multnomah has scored but two touch downs, the first game against the Ore. gori Aggies having been won on two placements by Walter Keck, 6-0. The other scores were Multnomah Club 7, Oregon Aggies 7, and Multnomah 7, Washington State 0. Driving Power Needed. Against Oregon's heavy line the club will need more driving power than has been displayed. Hence. "Dad" Convlll, the Utah and Purdue ex-fullback star, has been switched from his customary place at tackle to full, and Francis from end to a halfback position. Captain Keck, in turn, moving from fullback to the other half. With Rodes at quarter tiis would seem to give Multnomah a backfleld with beef, speed and punch. Anyway, Saturday will show. Convill weighs 200 pounds, Francis 1S5, Keck 170 and Rodes, the latter an Annapolis star, 170 pounds. Striebig and McRae, ex-backs, will take care of one of the wing posi tions, with Hlckson, veteran, and Plxlee, late of the University of Mis souri, at the other extremity. Phil- brook, the famous Notre Dame and Olvmoic star, has been moved from guard to tackle and Bailey, for four yearj all-star tackle at tne university of Oregon, will station his 240 pounds of brawn at the other tackle. Soldiers Train for Fray. The Vancouver soldiers .have been primping faithfully to give Multnomah a fierce battle. The khaki lads recently received substantial additions to their squad from the returned Philippine companies. They always give Multno mah a hard game and if they do as well as the Bremerton sailors it will mean a tough tussle. Thlfl mm will start ft t 2R0 o'clock. but will be preceded by a battle be tween the Multnomah Club second team and the strong St. James Club, of Vancouver, at 1:30 o'clock. The soldiers are heavier than usual. Their line averages a little better than 172 pounds. The probable lineup follows: Soldiers. Multnomah Club. Bauther ........ ER. . .6trleblg.

Otto Mikkleson was defeated, 12 to 6, in the three-cushion tournament of the Multnomah Club by H. S. Goodland. Goodland was given a handicap of 3. This does not end the tourney, for If Mikkleson defeats W. S. Walter, he will be tied with Goodland again. The straight billiard tourney will be started with a good list of entries. Nineteen had signed up last night and before the week is over a dozen or more likely will enter. The handball tournament for the sin gles championships soon will begin with a good list entered. KAISER SELU3 RACIXG BOAT Emperor William May Race for America's Cup With New Craft. BERLIN, Nov. 20. The Emperbr sold his schooner Meteor, with which he had so often been victorious In yacht races, to the Duke of Arenberg today. A new schooner for the Emperor Is being built by Max Oertz, of Hamburg, and It was said her performance would have an important bearing on the question whether Germany would challenge for the America's cup with a cutter designed by the same builder.

The lightweight champion agreed to day, through Manager Harry Foley, to a compromise that makes the weight 135 pounds one hour before the fight and promoter J. W. Coffroth accepted, telegraphing Jim Buckley in New York to send Murphy to the Coast at once so that he might take up training as soon as possible. Gresliam Gets Race Meet Saturday. The Willamette Valley Racing Club will hold a race meet at Oreaham to morrow on the County Fair race grounds. Several well-known horses will be there.

Drummer, Latishia 8., Nellie May, Nigger Babe, Birdie Lee, Come Again, Maud McG., Sallie Mint, Pet, Chorus Kate and See Bridge. Some cf these horses attended the races dur ing fair week. A. Powell and R. E. Neal are making arrangements for this meet. Pendleton to Play AValla. Walla. PENDLETON, Or.. Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) The climax of the local football season will be reached tomorrow after, noon, when the Pendleton High School eleven, champion of Eastern Oregon, . will tre't the Walla Walla team, cham pion of Southwestern Washington. The game will be played on the local field and probably will be witnessed by the largest crowd of the Beason, Inasmuch as Walla Walla is regarded as Pendle ton's greatest rival In all lines of sport. -t c J- f 1 r is: as (inOTER CONFERENCE TO WIN Willamette Expected to Join Big League This Year. MAIN OBJECTION REMOVED Strength of If ear by Teams Urged as Possible Cause for Staying Out, hut President Homan Is Said to Favor Change. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem. Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) 'To be or not to be" an applicant for admission into the Northwest college conference, com posed of the State Universities of Ore gon, Washington, Idaho, the Agricul tural Colleges from - the two former states and Whitman College, of Walla Walla, Wash., Is- the question being threshed out by the students of Wil lamette. Last year this same problem was be fore the students who settled at last by a majority vote of the student body, and a small one at that, to remain outside the charmed circle for another year at least. Reasons given last year by the major ity of those voting against the confer ence entrance proposition were that of the increased expense and also that as the loss of football players in the June graduation class would be unusually heavy, the time to enter the conference was inopportune. This year, on account of the football team being made up largely of players who will remain at Willamette next year or longer and as there will be at least one good man who has acted as understudy this season, one of the ob jections most prominently mentioned last year is now advanced, namely, that of increased expense incurred by pay- ng out heavier guarantees than in the past. Larger Receipts Considered. Many of those favoring admission into the conference admit the feature of the Increased expense involved in arranging these games, but declare that many more will attend a high-grade contest, such as a conference game. It is also argued that a considerable In crease in admission prices might be asked on account of the corresponding increse in merit, without diminishing the attendance. It is admitted by all. however, that no one can tell In ad vance how the attendance at confer ence games In Salem would be. One factor which is Influencing many students here to favor conference ad mission is that Willamette at present cannot get games outside of the confer ence with college teams in Its class. This is due to th- 'act that the Salem school is stronge- nan in the past or the other teams wu.-.ker, or very likely both these conditions are -operative. In 1908 the Willamette football team lost football games to three Northwest non conference colleges, but with the be ginning of the next year the Metho dists have drawn further and further SPORT -NEWS JACK JOHNSON always was a lucky man. The . latest story of how things used to turn to gold for him is in connection with finger-betting. On many of the racetracks it Is the custom of betting men to raise their hands In token of -r-,- acceptance of a bet. ft It holds in traca r, po ols, chicken fights and other snorts. Jack went to the I races at Fleming- ton, on the course near Melb o u r n e, Australia, where the famous Mel bourne cup race Is run. Jack thought the aookmakers were Jaclc Johnson saluting him as he went through the ring and raised his hand each time he saw some man raise his. After the race was over he found out that he had been making bets all the whi'a and the bookmakers called him over and paid off wagers amounting to close to $5000, on Comic King, a hot favorite. The system prevails among men who are known to each other and all of them know Jack Johnson, even though he was not acquainted with their sys tem. Along with, this bettinff talk, a ' t V FRANCIS. away from their old-time rival until now there is little comparison between them. Objections Are Raised. The position of Willamette from the standpoint of location has both Its advantages and disadvantages. Within every reach of the State University and the Agricultural College the expense involved in games with these would be small, but dn the other hand, both the nearest Institutions are two of the most powerful athletic Institutions among the Northwest colleges and this would operate somewhat against Wil lamette's best showing, as the two nearby schools would be played always. In the past the conference colleges on the western border of the circuit have been generally stronger in football than those to the east. There is little doubt but that If Wll lamette enters the conference her team would become stronger as the new po sltlon would draw athletic material Into the fold. Anyhow, It looks as If Willamette would make application for conference entrance on December 5, when the dele gates convene In Portland. The "W" Club, the strongest undergraduate or ganlzatlon at Willamette, has voted solidly for entrance. It Is known that President Homan Is not oppoeed to con ference entrance. Dr. Homan is the leading champion of intercollegiate ath letics here and his attitude on this question would be given the greatest deference by the students. In a few-days a vote of the student body will be taken In order fully to determine final action. WOLVERTQN Ip! CONTROL MANAGER OP SACRAMENTO TEAM BUYS PART OV CLUB. Lloyd Jacobs Also Takes Over Share of Senators From Jack Atkin Price Said to Be $20,000. SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Nov. 20. The controlling stock in the Sacramento Coast League Baseball Club was trans ferred today to Harry Sterling Wol verton, manager of the Senators, and Lloyd Jacobs, an insurance man of San Francisco. Wolverton was elected president of the club, vice W. L. Cur tin, resigned, and Jacobs was elected secretary and treasurer, vice J. M. In man, resigned. The stock that Wolverton and Jacobs purchased Jointly was held by Jack Atkln, who bought the club's control lng Interest the latter part of the 1912 season. Atkin retains stock In the club and local business men have asked for an option on it. Harry Wolverton will have full power of control and besides managing the team on the field will purchase all players and negotiate for all trades made with other clubs. , The amount Involved Is said to be about $20,000.

GILM0UR DOBIE CRITICISED Roscoe Kawcett Says Only Sharper Action hy Officials Can Prevent - Coach, hy Subtle Movements, From Coaching Players.' BY JtOSCOE FAWCETT. In the East there now remain only three big football games of the 1913 season. On Saturday Harvard and Yale clash In the Crimson stadium In what promises to be a wonderful duel. Thanksgiving day Cornell will attempt to redeem a season of disasters against Penn and two days later the Army and Navy meet In their , annual battle, this Fall on the Polo Grounds in New York City. ' The greatest Interest attaches nat urally to the Harvard-Yale game. Yale has had a rather mediocre season; all excepting the- 8-3 tie with- Princeton. Harvard, on the other hand, has en' joyed a great year and wishes to dem onstrate that the Blue is not Invincible at Cambridge. Away back In 1901 Harvard' beat Yale 22-0 and the Crimson is out to beat that mark If possible. Harvard coaches, however, are not so optimistic as the students. J. Wes ley Ladd, of Portland, received a tele gram from Hamilton Corbett, one of the coaching staff at Harvard, the night previous to the Yale-Princeton game and the local official said sub stantially as follows: "Betting here is 5-3 on Princeton against Yale. If Yale defeats Prince ton the odds should be even on the Harvard-Yale game. Things here are not so rosy as they have been painted. Mr.. Corbett likely recalls the tie three years ago, when Yale, weaker even than now, rallied and held Har vard to a 0-0 scoreless tie. At the same time Harvard should win decisively. Of the 33' games to date Yale has been most successful, winning 22 con tests. Harvard has won but six and the rest have been ties. The results of the series to date are as follows: 1875 Harvard 4 goals, Yale 0. 1876 Yale 1 goal. Harvard 0. 1878 Yale 1 goal. Harvard ft. 1879 Yale 0, Harvard 0. 1380 Yale 1 goal, j touchdown; H vard 0. 1S81 Yals 0, Harvard 4 safeties. 1882 Yale 1 goal, 4 touchdowns; Har vard z safeties. 1883 Yale 23, Harvard 2. 1885 Yale 18.

Gilmour Doble's coaching from the sidelines during the Oregon-Washing ton game Saturday was so coarse that hundreds of spectators noted it and the sporting editor's desk has been littered with protests ever since. The following is a. sample: 'Sporting Editor Now that the foot ball season is drawing to a close would it not be possible to start a movement to keep the coaches off the sidelines during the games? Cannot some pro vision be made for keeping the coaches in the grandstand during play? After Coach Dobie s action on the sidelines Saturday, when he coached his players continually by some move ment of the hand or body, I think some notice should be paid this feature. Per haps before many years the rules com mittee will fix the matter. Yours truly. "A SPECTATOR." Coaching from the sidelines is prac ticed to a greater or lesser degree by all football coaches, but generally so slyly as to escape both officials and spectators. There is no remedy, however, except penalization and - closer scrutiny by the officials. There must necessarily be one representative from each team on the side lines to attend to injuries and the coach, of course, will always horn in under that technicality. As for relegating tha coaches to the grandstand, that is absurd. The coaches are needed on the field to di rect the substitutions and to prevent over-exhaustion on the part of the players. VARSITY SECONDS TO PLAT Idaho and Washington State Col lege to Meet at Pullman. MOSCOW, Idaho. Nov. 20. (Special.) The second team at the University of Idaho is going through a hard grind this week in preparation for its annual game with Washington State College second, which Is to be staged on the Pullman gridiron next Saturday after noon. All men are eligible for this game who have not made their letters during the present season at either of the two institutions. Both the Idaho and Washington State College lineups will include a number of players who have worked in conference games this Fall, but who have not served long enough to be classed with the letter men. The Idaho seconds will likely be ar ranged In the following order: Keane, left end: R. Gerlough, left tackle; Tho- metz, left guard; Johnstone, center; Martinson, right guard; McClanahan, right tackle; Turk Gerlough. right end; "Red" . Johnston, quarter; Ross, left half; J. Gerlough, fullback; Betty, right half; Eaves will sub at guard and Crater at tackle. JEWISH BOYS' FIVE WIN" GAME Second Team Defeats Oregxmns dob by Score 32 to 2.

ON FLANS FOR SECOND GAME. Corvallls Team Hon Negotiating With Pastime Club or San Francisco for Contest December 6 or 11. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis. Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) Hope for a second game between the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College has disappeared with the announcement of Bezdek's ul timatum regarding a game next Satur day or none at all. Dr. Stewart de clares that there is no possibility vt a game unless Oregon changes its atti tude toward a post-season contest. A game Saturday is out of the question. Interest now centers in . a pro posal to send the Corvallis team South to San Francisco for a game to be played with the Pastime Club of that city. An offer has. been received by 1?-. Stewart from Ray Partridge, man ager of the Pastlmers. suggesting a game on December 6 or 11, either In Corvallis or San Francisco. If the California players are willing to pay a large enough guarantee and the Cor vallis faculty does not Interfere, it is probable that the team will make the trip. Members of the team, although anxious for the California trip, are not willing to let It interfere with a possible Oregon game. Coach Stewart Is sending his boys through a stiff scrimmage with the freshmen every night In preparation for the Idaho game Thanksgiving Day. May, Hofer, Abraham and Robertson have been on the sidelines all week. May and Hofer are still suffering from the Albany game and Abraham is ill. Billy has been shifted to the back field, his end position being taken by Larsen. Hayes and Schuster are play ing the two halfback positions, while Smith and Smart are In the line. The freshman team leaves for Astoria Friday and there is little prospect for further scrimmage practice before the Idaho game, BOBEfSOX ANNOUNCES PliANS New Manager of Brooklyn Team to Copy McGraw and Hanlon. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Wilbur T. Robinson, the new - manager of the Brooklyn National League team, an nounced today his training plans for next season at a luncheon attended by officers of the Brooklyn Club and news paper men.
