BV ROSCOE FAWCBTT.
Only two games of much import to
the Northwest will feature Saturday's
football schedule on the west shank
C the Sierras.
At Seattle the University of Wash
ington will entertain the University
of California athletes, whom they
trimmed 72-0 last week at Berkeley.
At Walla Walla the Whitman col-l'-prians,
coached by Vincent Borleske
vill attempt to hold Washington State
v-uuege 10 a score lower than 27-0.
Sunday, at San Francisco, the Mult-
rioma Amateur Athletic Club eleven of
I'ortland will cross bata in the padded
arena to mix the metaphors with the
.;jmpic ciud team of the Bay metropo
lis. Oregon and the Orpenn Ainrii Wit
bt resting up preparatory to. their an
nual struggle for the state champion
ship, and Idaho -will be doing likewise
in preparation for the big- test with
wnnman on Turkey day.
Idaho has lost every game this sea
son by a big margin, and for this rea
son the Whitman matinee at Moscow
ought to furnish quite an Incentive to
jtaaemacher s proteges.
So far as the others are concerned.
Washington should again wallop Cali
fornia anywhere from t0 points up
ward; Washington State should have
little difficulty in piling up in excess
ni zu. points on Whitman, and on the
following day Multnomah Cluh looks
easily the favorite against the all-stars
sarnerea Dy the winged O for the ex
position seance.
Washington State's test with Whit
man will be watched with some gusto
..ecuuse. mis win give the first com
parative line on the strength of Wash
ington and Washington State.
The Oregon Aggies defeated Whit
man 31-7: Oregon defeated the Mis
sionaries 21-0. and Washington turned
the trick 27-0. Washington State has
defeated both Oregon colleges and
should at least equal Washington's
score of 27-0. thus tending to cor
roborate the opinions of many that
J"-ietz' eleven could trim Washington
this Fall were these two rivals to
meet.
On Thanksgiving day Washington
State is scheduled to do battle with
5onzaga College at Spokane, and this
will give the dopesters another game
for comparisons. Washington hum
bled the Catholics 21-7 about three
weeks ago.
When Oregon and the Oregon Aggies
pet together one week from Saturday
at Eugene, the teams will be closely
matched in beef. Oregon may have a
pound or two on the Aggies, but not
enough to worry anybody.
Hugo Bezdek will send an eleven
averaging approximately 17 7 pounds
against his ancient opponent, and the
Aggies' aggregate will measure about
175 or 176 pounds, not including tiu.s
Jtofer. If the former captain is started
at end which seems unlikely the
Aggies will balance the beam about on
a pur with the lemon-yellow.
From present indications Laythe and
Smyth will open the game at the tackle
jobs for the Aggies, with Hofer in re
serve. Holer opened last week againstl
Idaho. Coach Stewart is slightly puz-1
zled about Captain Billie. He has one
hunch which says to place Billie at his
old end berth, and yet he thinks he
needs the veterans in the backfield.
Billie was started at end against the
Michigan Aggies, but went back to
the backfield when All worth was in
jured. Bill Ifietz is not the only Carlisle
"Indian who is making' good as a grid
iron coach. Albert Exendine has a
first-class team at Georgetown this
season, and there is Jim Thorpe, who
is assistant coach at Indiana. Just
after Thorpe got on the job the
lioosiers braced and tied Washington
and L.ee, 7-7.
Tom Phevlin. the great Yale end. is
Tmck on the Yale campus again, and
the fans are watching his second at
tempt to work a miracle with the
Klis. Can he do what he did in 1P10.
when he took the Minnesota shift to
Yale and heat rrinceton, 5-3. and held
Harvard to a 0-0 tie with Wendell
Ham Corbett and a lot of other man
hammering: stars in the Harvard line
up." When he was at college Shevlin was
one of the wildest birds outside the
xoo. His father was a wealthy timber
man at Minneapolis, and Tom is said to
have spent more money during his
Yale days than any student that ever
trod the campus. He bought every
thing autos, flowers, taxicabs. clothes
jewelry, dinners and their liquid ac
companiments there wasn't anything
that papa's purse was too shallow to
purchase.
Tom was quite a bragger. too. in
those days. Xot in an offensive way
but in a big. burly, swashbuckling
inshion Tom used to like to talk about
himself. "Nobody ever made a run
around my end while I was in college,"
ia one statement attributed to him
And we believe it. Shevlin was on
three of Camp's all-American teams. He
missed out during his sophomore year
Among other . bits of braggadocio,
Shevlin, on one occasion, placed a bet
of $1000 -that he would be taken into
"Skull and Bones." a Yale secret so
ciety. But Bones heard of it and the
college hasn't stopped talking of his
turndown yet. Despite this bitter dis
appointment. Shevlin turned up next
Fall as captain and was us loval as
ever before.

DR. DAV RAFFETY, a pioneer
physician, has presented to the
Brooklyn School his fine collec
tion of Indian relics and minerals.
These hae been placed in cabinets in
the assembly hall labeled and described
so that 'students may tell what they
represent.
Includod in the collection of Indian
curios are implements for the prepara
tion of i'ood, paints, medicines, gam
t'iS sanies and war clubs, besides
about 5000 different specimens of rock
formations. Principal. T. J. Gary re
gards the coll jtion of great value and
in the course of a few weeks Dr. Kaf
fety will formally turn over the col
lection tr. the school district in a lec
ture to bo delivered in the Washington
High School. It was expected to do
this in the assembly hall of the Brook
lyn School, but the edict has gone forth
that the assembly hall cannot be used
for public gatherings, and hence the
Washington High School was selected.
Value of Collection Praised.
O. M. Ilummar, member of the Board
of Kducation, said that the collection
is one of great value and he desired
all students of Portland to see it, and
will arrange for this gathering, when
Dr. Dave Kaffety. the collector of the
specimens, will tell about the history
of the relics.
The collection represents the work of
more than 30 years. Dr. Raff ety came
to Oreson as a pioneer and at once
started g-athering Indian curios and
mineral specimens ot every sort. With
him it became a passion. The Indian
relics were gathered in and about Port
land and in the Willamette Valley, and
in this work he was assisted by Indian
John Casino, a well-known friend of
the whites, ho died near Troutuale a
few years ago.
The relics were gathered near Ore
gon City. Sauvie's Island, at the Cas
cades, along the . Sandy River and
Clackamas itiver. These rude imple
ments, stored away in the assembly
hall of the Brooklyn School, have a
great value, and tell the story of the
habits of the original inhabitants be
fore the coming of the white man.
Professor Thomas Condon, former state
geologist, and other geologists regarded
the collection of great value, and spent
hours examining the relics when they
were depesited at the old Raffety store
on East Oak street.
VeMfU Contained in Collection.
In the cabinets are many mortars and
pestles. Dr. Raffety having obtained
a complete collection of both, ranging
from the larger ones used for grind -ing
food to the smaller ones used for
making paint and medicines from
herbs. One cf the mortars is oblong in
form and has the head of a turtle
clearly defined, with the arms and ribs
along the sies. There are about 30
mortars in the collection made of com
mon basnlt. some of tufa and trachyte.
Dr. Raffety says that he secured his
finest mortar by the fact that he was
a sprinter. O. B. Johnson, a rival col
lector and a friend, told him and Dr.
Raffety that a beautiful mortar could
be found at '.he foot of a certain oak
tree on East Morrison street. Dr. Raf
fety reached the tree first and got the
mortar.
Among the pestles is one made of
jasper 01 extreme hardness and beauty
This specimen 4s eight inches Inns- hr
four across the base. The material is
extremely hurd and it is not easy to
understand how the Indians could have
lashioned the implement. One of the
pestles has the head of a seal and an
other the head of a bear. One nestle.
H inches long, has the form of - a
salmon.
Dr. Raffety in speaking of the col
lection, said:
1 hese stone implements are like the
eaves 01 a 000.-. As we turn them
over and look at them they seem to in.
dicate their uses. They belonged to
in autio.ii race 01 people, who niaue

and used them in making their living
and .in offensive and defensive, and
some of them are of great age.
"More than' 100 years ago Lewis and
Clark in their descent of the Columbia
River" found many different tribes of
Indians, ibout 20,000, each subsisting
on such game as the country produced,
in addition to the yearly run of salmon
taken in the Columbia River and its
tributaries.
Stone Implements Commonly Found.
"It was noticeable that stone imple
ments were more commonly found be
low the Cascades than in the Upper
Columbia region. Both eides of the
river at the upper and lower Cascades.
The Dalles. Sauvies Island and Willam
ette Falls are noted places.
Different kinds of rock material used
in forming these stone implements
would indicate that " tribes from many
parts of the Pacific -Coast "migrated to
and from these fisheries; and from the
broken implements found strewn broad
cast on the surface would indicate that
there was continual strife and war
fare over the mastery of the fisheries.
"The early pioneers found the In
dians had a Pacific Highway consisting
of from 15 to 25 deeply-trodden paths,
side by side, worn by the different
tribes in journeying with their ponies,
dogs, drags and papooses to and from
these' fisheries, extending the full
length of the Coast from California to
Washington and the Upper Columbia
region. These paths did not go straight
over oui louowea me easy grades
around the hills that could be ridden
in a lope or trot in traveling them.
"It was common in the early '-JOs and
'50s to find in a pioneer dooryard.
uiuuoiii in ana mrown down, many
fine stone implements to be carried off
by any curio hunter or scientist that
wanted tnem. Those that were plowed
up look more ancient than the dark
greasy ones found on the surface, and
me ouned ones always were more per
fect. "This was on account of the secre
tiveness r.nd selfishness of the Indian
If the mortar or pestle was too large
to be carried on a journey, or if he di-i
not intend to return he would break
me pestle and punch a hole in the bot
tom of the mortar, rendering it useles"
and leave it. otherwise he would bury
it for future wants on his return.
"Below the Oregon City Falls on
the Willamette where the banks are
gradually undermined by high water,
and are falling away into the river's
edse, may be found even today arrow
points and stone workings from the
ancient graveartl.
"Sauvies Island was- another ren
dezvous or place where they held their
big potlatches and conventional dances.
Here the early pioneers found many
places strewn with skulls and bones
of the Indians. together with great
quantities of stone implements.
"Captain Clark on visiting the Mult
nomah tribe was informed by an old
Indian who brourht -forward an Indian
woman, whose face was covered with
smallpox pits, that some 30 or 40 years
ueiore a disease had been contracted
that killed them off by the thousands,
almost depopulating the tribe of Mult
nomah. Hence it is to bs inferred
that more Indians died by pestilence
than by warfare. ,
"The location of this island at the
junction of the two rivers, with its
many lakes filled with wapatoes, the
greatest numDer of -waterfowls and
other game in abundance, made it an
asylum of reluge for all tribes and ex
plorers.
"A large Indian god carved out of
basaltic ttone, weighing somewhere
near a ton, was found on Oak Island
and rema'ned until some 40 veara an.
when an ignorant tenant, not knowing
or caring about the value, needed some
stone to build a chimney, broke it to
pieces, thereby destroying one of the
largest and grandest pieces of stone
work that Oregon ever produced. The
Indian? worshiped it, imploring it for
rain or cry weatner, lor food or jour-
nejing to tn, nappy Hunting grounds.
Each Has Separate Use.
"Each and every stone implement or
carving has its use. The mortors and
pestles lor grinding corn and edible
roots were frequently ornamented with
heads of birds and animals. The sink
ers for ancnorlng salmon nets. The
stone chisel for pelting skins used in
clothing:, sleeping beds, wigwams, etc.
The rock hammers for breaking bark.
bark holds fire longer and more heat
by blowing it up. The stone knives
(obsidian volcanic glass) for skinning
game. The stone targets for arrow
practice. Spears and arrow points are
used in procuring game.
"The bad doctor that fails to cure his
patient they tie to a tree and jab his
eyes out without disfiguring the facial
expres3i3n.
"The stone bludgeon for fighting to
be carefully concealed under his
blanket.
"Gambling balls are all sizes.- The
large stone ball weighs 99 pounds. The
game played was by pitting two large
skilled athletes belonging to opposite
trmes in roiling these stone balls into
ground iiOles. The side gaining the
greatest number of holes won, thereby
carrying off every possible movable
outfit belonging: to the losing tribe,
consisting of ponies, dogs, wigwams,
skins, and even the clothing on their
backs. In great glee, while the losers
would go off mad", tired, and hungry.
"Indian John or John Casinov, de
scribed the game in his own way as
follows: -
"Nanitch kla-hop copa illalie mit-lite

Mr. E. Phil. Merrill, the well-known au
tomobile lecturer, , will be in Portland to
day, November 11th, and will deliver an
address at our salesroom, 21st and Wash
ington streets at 2:30 and 8:15 in the even
ing. As the most eminent authorities in the
engineering world are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the eight-cylinder "V"
type marks the ultimate in motor car en
gines, all who are interested in the prog
ress of automobile construction should find
the talk well worth hearing.
In connection with the explanation of
the principles of the "V" type motor, Mr.
Merrill uses a stripped cut-open chassis,
which is arranged with electric lights and
glass plates in such a manner that all of
the working parts of the car may be seen
in operation.
Visitors will not be importuned, and we
hope that every automobile owner in Port
land will hear at least one of these lectures.
You are cordially invited to be present.
