14 TIIE MORNTNT OREGOXIAN. TITIXRSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1913. THANKSGIVING ENDS FOOTBALL SEASON Jntervarsity Games Scheduled v on Gridirons of Large Colleges of East. QUAKERS TO PLAY CORNELL Carlisle Indians Will Oppose Brown and Penn State Clashes With nttsbnrg Armj-.NaTy Teams Prill for Big Contest. NEW TORI?. Nov. 2C The old cus tom of playing the final frame of the football season on Thanksgiving- day is Etlll . adhered to by a few of the ICastern colleges, and as a result sev eral lntervarsity contests are sched xiled for tomorrow. The feature game is the meeting- of Pennsylvania and Cornell at Franklin field, Philadelphia. Cornell and Pennsylvania have been defeated or held to tie games several times this year.'yet the success of their season will hinge, to a certain degree, on the outcome of the final contest of the schedule. To date, the. annual se ries have been overwhelmingly in fa vor of Pennsylvania, for in the 20 Barnes played since 1893 Cornell has won only one game and tied one. In 1901 the red and white ran up a 23 to 6 story and in 1906 the teams played a scoreless tie. As a result of past and present sea eon showings the Quakers are favored to continue the snnual triumph over Cornell, although it is conceded that the game will be close and hard fought. Next In Importance is the contest between the Carlisle Indians and Brown at Providence. Brown, with a team considerably below the standard et by preceding elevens at the Prov idence University, is not likely to do more than hold the red men in reason able check. Other games scheduled In the East and South Include Penn State JMttsburg, at Pittsburg; Franklin and Marshall - Gettysburg, at Lancaster, Pa.; Lafayette-Dickinson, at Easton, Pa.; Holy Cross-Georgetown, at Wash ington, I. C, and Virginia-North Caro lina, at Richmond. Va. ARMY MNETTP STIIiIi IX DOUBT Only One of West .Point Regulars Out of Final Practice. WEST POINT. N. Y.. Nov. 26. Ex cept for the final signal drill which will come tomorrow, the Army is ready for Its big battle on the gridiron with the Navy on Saturday. The team went through a snappy signal practice today In 'secret. All the regulars were in the lineup except Jones, right guard Both Herrick and O'Hare were used in Jones' position. Goodman was tried lor a while at center, but his poor passing made a hurry call forMcEwan necessary. Benedict Hoge, Hodgson, Hobbs and Jouett were used behind the line. Just who Coach Daly will start against the middies behind the Army line is unknown. Present indications point to Hoge, Benedict and Hodgson as the most likely combination, with Hobbs, Jouett, Milbern, Lanphiere and Ford in reserve. Leo Leary. a Har vard coach, arrived today and worked with the Army ends. The Army squad will leave here for New York at 8:30 Friday morning. They will practice on the polo grounds in the afternoon. A large additional party of coaches arrived today, to assist Daly in rounding out the team. The average weight of the team is 178 1-11 pounds. This Is a lighter team than the Navy's, but Army sup porters are counting On strategy and the cadets' flnA work with th fdcwo pass to battle the middies.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. Nov. 26. A pro posal to have the annual Harvard-Yale football game played on Thanksgiving day, . Instead of on the Saturday pre ceding the holiday, has been communi cated unofficially to the Harvard foot ball management. Tne proposition comes from Yale officials and is said to have found favor at New Haven. Princeton meets Harvard and Yale on Saturdays and Yale has only a week -between the Princeton and Harvard games, while the Crimson has a com paratively easy game between its two big contests. A conference of Harvard, Yale and Princeton managers may be held to consider this problem. OVERCOXFIDEXCE NAVY'S FEAR Academy Team Expects Victory Over Array Next Saturday. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 26.

The work was light and there was no scrimmag ing. Formations which will be used tor the first time against West Point were gone through repeatedly.

Bud Tells Leach Cross He's No Real Fighter Not Recognizing; Caller at - Bedside as Man Who Beat Him Few Honrs Before, Vancouver Boy Pays Re spects to Winner. VANCOUVER. Wash.t Nov. 26. (Spe cial.) When Bud Anderson was in the hospital at Los Angeles, after being operated upon for appendicitis, a rfew days after his battle with Leach Cross, in which Anderson was knocked out for five minutes, he had two callers, one of whom sat down' in a chair by the bedside. The caller began asking Bud about the fight and what his opin ion was. " "Well, I don't think much of Leach Cross' punch. He ought to have put me out in two rounds and I was ex pecting it every round. If Cross had been any kind of a fighter he would have put me to sleep a, long time be fore he did. I was all doubled up with pain and should have been oper-j aiea upun xur appeuujciis mat nigui, instead of going into a prize ring. "Cross can't Tint a fellow unless he has a wide-open chance and then he is too slow, rambled Bud, telling what he thought, believing he was speaking to Monte Attell. About that time the caller atjthe foot of the bed called, "Well, Leach, I guess we'd better be going," and .Leach Cross, with a grin on his face, got up and the two left the hospital and Anderson has not seen Cross since. "When I found that was Cross I felt like I was going to drop through the mattress," said Bud, "but I never said anything I would not have told him to his face. I had only seen . him once before in street clothes and so I thought he was Attell, whom he resem bled." RIVERS r-AVORITE-OVER CROSS Los Angeles Bout Will Determine Who Shall Meet Ritchie. .

PUNTS WILL BE FEATURE Fenton Is Expected to Star Behind Line for Collegians Old Grads on Hand for C 0 1 h Annual Thanksgiving Battle. ( Continued From First Page.) University of Washington at Seattle and Idaho tangles with the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis. The University should win by two touchdowns and the same is true of the Oregon Aggies. At Walla Walla Whitman meets Montana, but this is not a conference game. Although Multnomah has a post-sea son game with Idaho for New Year's afternoon, today drops the curtain on the official season of pigskinning in the Northwest states. Thus it is that even the most staid and sober business men of the city, many or whom haven t seen a game this Fall, are talking a weird Jargon of equal parts of football and Turkey din ner vernacular, and will be on the side lines today with business cares careful ly tucked away in the commercial can yons of the business district. Business Men Advertise Game. As if to emphasize their pride in the closing gridiron classic, a number of the larger firms have decked their win dows with displays of the lemon-yellow of the State University and the crim son-white of the Winged M institution The hotels, too, report a heavy influx of ola grads and club veterans and these will add the final touches of rep resentn.tlon at the same. Aside from its spectacular features and the personality of the crowd, to day's 'game is sure to abound in bril liant football and superb strategy. On the Multnomah side, the play will be directed by Quarterback Rodes, for four years a star of the Naval Academy eleven at Annapolis and captain last Fall. Rodes is one of the most re markable players ever seen in a Mult nomah Club suit. Not only is he a won der at advancing the ball, but he keeps things moving all the time and that has generally been a failing with the clubmen. Rodes Not Only Star. But Rodes holds no monopoly on the limelight. He is given this boost be cause he is new to Portland enthusi asts. Manager Stott has a whole grist of. similar satellites mothered under his wing Philbrook, the famous Olym pic athlete; Bailey, Convill. Cherry, Keck, O'Rourke and more. Oregon's wonderful battle against Washington showed that Coach Bezdek has an eleven that would do credit to almost any. college In the Middle West. His team will average around 174 pounds, and while that will .be perhaps IS pounds to the man less than the club weight, the collegians will have youth, speed, condition and teamwork in their favor. Fenton to Be Big; Factor. Carl Fenton's punting, too. Is sure to be a big factor. The Dallas 195 pounder averaged more than 45 yards a punt against Washington, and as this is his last game, something sen sational can be expected of him. Par sons and Cornell also are much feared by the Multnomah men. Captain Keck, an Oregon Aggie ex- punter of fame, will do the kick work for Multnomah. "Chief won the 6-0 game from the Oregon Aggies by vir tue of two field goals. What may be expected in the way of a close-fought game is indicated in a general way by scores of this year and of preceding Oregon-Multnomah games. Early this Fall Multnomah defeated the Oregon Aggies 6-0 and tied a re turn game at Corvallis 7-7, being really outplayed in this latter engage ment. Multnomah, too, won from Washington State, 7-0, in a fiercely contested matinee. Oregon, on the other hand, tied the Aggies 10-10 at Albany and is conceded to have a bet ter team than Washington State Col lege, for Oregon defeated Idaho 27-0, which team walloped Washington State 3-0. Past Records Favor Clnb. To emphasize further the balance of the t'eams, Oregon smothered the Bremerton sailors 4S-6. yet Multnomah had a tough afternoon beating these same tars by a 12-0 tally. Of former Thanksgiving day clashes with Oregon, the club has won 13, lost four and tied two, the compilation being as follows: 1896 , Multnomah 12 Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Ore son Oregon Oregon 1S8 Multnomah 21 18ii Multnomah !!

The University of Washington football team is in perfect condition to meet the Washington State College eleven on Denny field here Thanksgiving day. The Pullmanites will arrive in Seattle Thursday morning and will go directly to the gymnasium, where they will pre pare for the game. Coach Dobie is con fident he has another Northwest Con ference championship tucked away. Little fear is expressed as to the out come of the game; in fact, there is lit tle interest in the contest. There are five men who have yet five minutes to play to win the "W" this year. They may get a chance in the game Thurs day. They are Leader, Noble, Gile, Sav age and Hazlett. WILLAMETTE FIELD IS HEAVY University Team Will Average Less Than 155 Ponnds Today. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or.. Nov. 26. (Special.) The Willam ette University football team, minus the services of Homan, the backfleld star, will line up tomorrow against the Oregon Law School team. The locals will average a little less than 156 ii pounds and a heavy field will make heavy plodding for Willamette.- The Willamette field has been in the process of additional crowning all the Fall and, although given a liberal coat of sawdust, the players sink into the shavings, since the heavy rains of the past week. Willamette will line up as follows: Pfaff, center; Fariss and Vandervert, guards; Eckles, Bolt and Neustral, ends; Tonkilson, Flegel and Broth, quarter; Doane and Small, halves; Rowland, full back. The followers of the game here predict a small score for either team. IDAHO TEAM IS CONFIDENT Aggies Will Appeaf Today Against 1 7 2 -Pound Aggregation. With grim determination stamped all over their faces, tht University of Idaho football warriors stopped off yesterday in Portland for a few hours en route to Corvallis, where they will clash with the Oregon Aggies this aft ernoon. ' Coach Griffith, one of the foxiest in the business, realizes that he is up against a great team and, while not oversanguine of success, hopes to de feat the Aggies If. he gets the breaks in luck. Idaho's team will average around 172 pounds and the Aggies around 176 pounds, which is not enough difference to materially affect the score. Coach Griffith thinks he has two men who are entitled to consideration by the all-star bugs this Fall Wll lard Johnson, of Lawrence, Wis., end, and Lockhart, halfback. Officials for today's battle will be: Stanley Borleske, of Spokane: referee; Dr. Dollenbach, Eugene, umpire; W. A. Fenstermacher, Portland, head lines man.

New York Americans 'Bid for Services of Deposed Manager Ban John son Backing Karrell. NEW YORK. Nov. 2 7. That Morde- cal Brown, the three-lingered pitcher, has been selectGd to manage the Cin cinnati National League team, succeed ing Joe Tinker, is the statement de clared to be based on good authority, printed here this morning. Brown is a member of the team which bought him from Louisville last year, after he had been released to that club by the Chicago Nationals, for whom he pitched for many seasons. He twirled many good games for Tinker last season. Brown never has professed managerial ambitions so far as is known, but his friends assert that as a level-headed, intelligent baseball man who knows the game thoroughly, he is worthy -of a trial in Tinker s place. President Frank Farrell, of the New York Americans, is strongly desirous of buying Tinker's release from President Herrmann, of the Reds, and telegraphed the Cincinnati president on the subject yesterday. The Highlanders' president declared he would outbid any other magnate for Tinker's services. "Perhaps we can induce Herrmann to let Tinker out of the National League." said President Ban Johnson, of the American League, who is in this city and heard Farrell's announcement.
