CREST OF GRIDIRON
WANTS NO
Crimson Apparently Jjacks Former
"Dash, While the Kli Coaching
System Seems to Have
Proved Its Worth.
JCETW "FORK, Nov. 26. The crest of
the Eastern football season passed with
the playing of the spectacular gridiron
classics Saturday, leaving in its wake
shattered idols and newly crowned
heroes. The famous Harvard machine
was scrapped by a. rejuvenated Yale
eleven at the same hour that the Army
was wrecking the hopes of the Navy
for an eleventh-hour victory. " There
remains only the contests of Thanks
giving day before the curtain is low
ered on the great collegiate sport for
another year.
In defeating Harvard the Tale team
achieved far more than the triumph
apparent upon the surface. Coach Tad
Jones, with the aid of Captain Black
and. the band of fighters which the
latter gathered about him, laid the
groundwork for a new system and a
more impressive grade of play and
players for the years that are to come.
Yale Play In Alert.
The play of the Tale team was more
alert, aggressive and sustained than
that of the Crimson combination, and
this, taken in connection with better
physical condition and the breaks of
the game, was the deciding factor in
the triumph. Tale played football with
a dash and power that swept the Crim
son off its feet after the first period.
Considered as a whole, the Crimson
play was far slower and uncertain than
of that a year ago, and backs seldom
were able to get into their stride, due
to the vicious manner in which the
Yale forwards ripped up the first line
and plunged into the backfleld almost
with the ball.
Evidence of the uncertainty and
strain under which Harvard worked
is shown in the number of penalties
imposed, one of which nullified Casey's
long run for a touchdown. Next year
Harvard should return with a stronger
eleven, but It will also meet a more
powerful Tale, for the Blue tasted
.victory and apparently established a
successful coaching system, all of
which will make for better and win
Sing football at New Haven.
Ollphant Too Powerful.
I The, Army-Navy contest developed a
case of too much Ollphant for the Mid
dies. - Excluding the former Purdue star
and his running mate, Vldal, the sail
ors compared favorably with the West
Pointers. The brilliancy and all
around playing ability of this pair,
however, was a handicap too great for
the Navy to overcome. The pluck and
power with which the Navy attacked
In the final half of the game demon
strated that the Middies have a for
midable eleven In the making.
The other games of the day developed
nothing In the way of upsets or ex
traordinary play. . Pennsylvania, using
many substitutes, defeated West Vir
ginia Wesleyan. Syracuse brought the
. full force of its weight and power to
bear upon Tufts, and the conquerer of
Harvard was obliged to bow to defeat,
" but not until after a desperate and
spectacular battle. Washington and
: Jefferson found Chattanooga easy, and
the same was true of Rutgers in the
game against Dickinson. Bucknell was
unable to hold the strong Georgetown
eleven in check, but Lehigh and Haver-
ford had to battle hard to win from
, Lafayette and Swarthmor'e, respect
ively. ; OHIO IN SHAPE TO DEMAND
. New Champions Likely to Insist on
Better 1917 Schedule.
CHICAGO. Nov. 26. Sweeping
charges in the makeup of the 1917 foot'
ball schedule of the "Big Nine" prob-
. ably will be made as a result of the
upsets of the 1916 season which closed
with Saturday's games.
The so-called Big Four of the "West
ern conference Minnesota, Chicago,
Wisconsin and Illinois are declared to
have held sway in the schedule-making
in previous years, leaving Ohio State,
Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue and
Towa to shift for themselves.
Ohio State, which won the conference
championship Saturday by defeating
jvorin western, probably will .demand
more imposing list of games for next
season.
The playing of "Chick" Harley, the
dashing right halfback of the champion
Ohio estate eleven, whose sensational
work spelled defeat for Northwester
. in the title game Saturday, stamps him
as an eligible candidate for all-Ameri
can honors, in the opinion of Western
critics. -
Although the wonderful Minnesota
eleven may not have a claim to
championship title, close followers of
the gridiron sport are agreed that the
team Is one of the greatest football
machines developed in the West in
years.
'The line attack of the eleven in its
game with Chicago was an attack of
11 men in every play, each doing the
exact thing expected of him. ' The 49-to-0
defeat of Chicago was the worst
the Maroons have ever suffered.
Two of Saturday's conference games
resulted In scoreless ties. Neither In
diana nor Purdue was able to put over
a score in their annual game at Lafay
ette, and AVisconsin and Illinois fought
through lour periods without a tails
Honors for the first half of the Wisconsin-Illinois
game swung heavily in
side on the Illini. but the Badgers put
up a brilliant defense in the second
half and kept their goal from danger.
I'nrdue men faced the Indiana goal
; three times and were credited with out
playing the Hoosiers but lacked the
: necessary punch to put the ball over.
HUSKER COMEBACK COMPLETE
Kansas Still Hopes to Gain Title by
Defeating Missouri.
; KANSAS CITY. Nov. 26. With the
nd of the 1916 football season coming
Thursday, Nebraska and Kansas still
were running neck and neck in the
arguments of gridiron fans as to which
team deserves the Missouri Valley
championship.
Those who had hoped for a Nebraska
defeat in the game yesterday with
Iowa, were doomed to sore disappoint
ment. Nebraska's "comeback" was de
cisive and complete.
Kansas supporters still contend that
the Kansas-Missouri game next Thurs
day will confirm their claims to first
honors in the conference.

22 CLUB MEN OUT
Athletes Lose No Time to Pre
pare for Oregon Game.
WARRIORS IN FINE SHAPE
University Boys to Face Far Differ
ent Team Thursday From That
Which They Defeated
Early in Season.
They still continue to break football
records at the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club. There were 22 husky
football warriors out for practice yes
terday morning on Multnomah Field
despite the fact that they had engaged
In a battle the day oefore. This was
the second time in the history of foot
ball at the Winged "M" institution that
a team has appeared ready to practice
the day after a heavy game. The first
occurred the day after the 6-to-0 defeat
of Whitman College at week ago Sat
urday. Saturday the clubmen trimmed the
Willamette University contingent, 33
to 7. and from the showing made by
the Portlanders it Is quite evident that
the University of Oregon athletes will
receive a warm reception on Thursday
afternoon on Multnomah Field in the
leading athletic attraction for Thanks
giving day. Coach "Spec" Hurlburt's
proteges were so enthusiastic yester
day about practicing that, they wanted
to scrimmage, but this was not allowed.
The training table established last
week in the "club dining-room has
worked wonders and this can be at
tested to by the fact that not once was
time taken out for Injuries to a club
man Saturday. Only once did anything
happen, and that was when Dr. Leslie
Clough was requested to take some of
the mud out of Oswald Day's eye.
Coach Hurlburt gave all his athletes
a chance to show their real worth
against Willamette in order that he
will be able to telt Just where to make
the necessary changes in the lineup.
At the practice yesterday morning on
the Multnomah Field signal workouts
were the main thing on the pro
gramme. Those present to assist Coach Hurl
burt were Manager James O. Convill,
Superintendent Dow V. Walker, Martin
Pratt, who was the linesman In the
championship Oregon-Oregon Aggie
battle last Saturday at Corvallls, E. L.
Knickerbocker, Lieutenant Harris, who
captained West Point's squad In 1905,
and Dr. Leslie Clough.
Dr. Clough was well pleased with his
showing made last week as not one of
his athletes was suffering from sore
ness yesterday. He has issued orders
that the whote team report for practice
tonight as well as tomorrow night and
Wednesday night. The team will be
present at the inter-club boxing and
wrestling tournament in the cliib gym
nasium Wednesday night. They may
not be allowed to remain long, how
ever. The game Thursday afternoon against
Oregon will start at 2 a'clock. The
officials will be selected later.
WHITMAN TEAM DRIVEN HARD

Game of Year Expected.
WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla.
Wash, Nov. 26. (Special.) With less
than a week remaining before the big
home game of the year with the strong
Washington State College team here
Thanksgiving Day, Coach Borleske is
driving his men through grueling prac
tice every night. The men have been
showing the effects - of this season'
hard schedule, but, with four more
days' rest before the next game, he has
been working early and late to perfect
his defense against the Pullman at
tack and to smooth out the execution
of his offense.
The men are all In pretty good shape
and will be able to put up their best
game of the season when they tangle
with the Northerners. Two men. Cap
tain Hoover and Traut, will be seen
In Whitman uniforms for the last
time. Hoover, playing with a second
class team, has showed himself the
class of the conference ever since he
broke into college football, four years
ago. Traut Is playing his third season.

OREGON CITY IS VICTOR
SOUTH PORTLAND ELEVEV BEATEM
BY 12-TO-O SCORE.
Outcome Establishes Flrm Claim to
Title of 145-Pound Champlonn.
Poweri la Star of Game.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) The Oregon City Atnletic Asso
ciation this afternoon established a
firm claim to the state 145-pound foot
ball title by dereating South Portland
here, 12 to 0. The victory isconsidered
remarkable heVe because important
shifts in the lineup of the locals was
necessary to bring Oregon City down
to the weight limit. Several of the first
team men were taken from the game
today because of their weight and men
who had been on the bench all season
put in their places.
Oregon City's victory is due largely
to Powers, fullback, who made both
touchdowns. Oregon City failed to kick
goal.
Oregon City was penalized half the
distance to the goal line for slugging,
and Bob Green, right half., was taken
from the game because of slugging.
Before the game both teams were
taken to the municipal cattle scales, at
Main and Fourth streets, and weighed
in. This was a part of the written
agreement between the two elevens. ,
Manager Mike DeCicco, of the Port
landers, had been promised the services
of Ike Wolfer, Hugh McKenna, Bosch.
McDonald and H. Kurtz, but they all
failed to show up, causing him to
weaken his team.

Levlnsky's Manager Tries to Show
That His Protege Should Have
Chance at Wlllard Bronson
Ever Keeps Eye on Title.
BT HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Willie Ritchie Is off of aviating. He
says that the next time he takes a
flight it will be with one foot on the
ground. The ex-llghtwelght champion
gave iis opinion of the aerial business
last night in conversation with Mike
H. Butler, of the Butler School of Box
ing. It all came about after Butler had
been "kidding' Willie, who spent 30
days studying aviation In the citizens'
camp at Monterey. Cal., last Summer.
Ritchie, you know, believes In prepar
edness. "I saw several pictures taken of you
with aeroplanes," said the local phytic
al director, "but I never saw one where
you were flying. You were always
Just climbing in, getting out or sitting
in one on the ground. This started
Willyum on his explanation.
"Just once did I go up in a biplane
for any distance," declared Ritcnie.
"And t'.iat was after I had monkeyed
around the machinery at Monterey. I
Journeyed out to the late Silas Chris-
tofferson's school at Redwood City one
afternoon to give some of the students
the 'once over.' It happened that on
this same afternoon Mary Edgett
Baker, formerly of the Baker JStock
Company, Portland, and now with tie
Oliver Morosco Stock Company, of Los
Angeles, was billed to take a spin with
one of Christoff erson's experts for .a
moving picture concern.
"For some reason or other Mis Baker
could not get out that afternoon, or
else she changed her mind, for. when
the time came for the flight she was
not on tlie ground.
"A friend of mine tipped the moving
picture director off to the fact that 1
was on the ground, and that It would
be a novel picture for him to get me
going up. They dashed over to me,
asking if I would serve, and 1 pre
sume they were surprised when I
agreed.
"Well, to make a long etory short,
boys, aeroplaning is a wonderful thing
for any boxer wjo has grown fleshy.
It's the greatest reducer in the world.
I must have lost 10 pounds in the flight.
We went up 800 feet. Grand vley, won
derful scenery, very exciting, but oh.
boy! No more of that stuff tor me I"
Ritchie will be here for a day or two
yet. His brother-in-law, Charles S.
Graffe, is due back from a business
trip to New York today, and Willie
wants to see him before departing.
rom Portland t'.xe present welter
weight contender will hike to San
Francisco, from where he will leave
for Chicago soon, to start an active
campaign among the welterweights.
Dan Morgan, who. next to Jack
Kearns, has perhaps handled more
fighters Oan anv man In the world, is
out witli another amusing circular let
ter. The circular i headed: "Levin-
sky Can Handle Weight." Read it
yourse'lf :
"Battling Levinsky, the light-heavy
weight champion, showed in liis battle
at Kansas City recently with Carl Mor
ris that he could easily handle the
weight of Jess Wlllard. Morris Is six
feet four inchee in height and weiglis
250 pounds in. condition. He was out
boxed and outslugged in the last three
rounds of a fast 15-round contest.
"Levinsky made Morris look foolish.
boxing rings around -him. It Was
Levlnsky's 40th fight in a little more
than 10 months, and there is no doubt
but what he was stale. But it showed
that Battling Levinsky can handle big
fellows like Jess Wlllard. With about
three weeks' training, Levinsky would
throw boxing gloves at big Jess."
You just can t beat a foxy fight man
ager. Carl Morris secures a decision
over Battling Levinsky. Morris is not
conceded a chance against Wlllard. But
here is a manager who says Ziis beaten,
lighter boxer can beat the biggest
heavyweight champion who ever lived.
If taking care of himself and ambi
tion will make a success of a boxer,
then Muffey Boichuk. better known as
Muff" Bronson. the Portland sc.iool-
boy, will some day be a contender fot
the world's championship.
A little instance which goes to show
how careful this lad Is to keep In the'
beet of shape took place last night in
one of tZie local theaters. Muffev at
tended the show with a friend. Just
half of the programme had been seen
when the little mitt wielder looked at
his watch.
"Say, Dick.' he said, "I'm sorry, but
I'll have to go. I'll be 10 minutes' late
going to bed now." He thereupon
jumped into his overcoat and beat It for
the hay.
Bronson started boxing only a year
ago, and in that time has made excel
lent progress. Willie Ritchie used him
for head sparring partner when he
trained here for his bout' witli RalDh
Gruman last June. i
The Californian saw the making of a
great boxer , In Bronson and recited
some of his early experiences to the
little fellow. He told Muff to eat
proper food regularly and to "hit the
feathers'' at 10 o'clock each night and
arise at 6 each morning. "Muff" lias
been practicing that, which perhaps
accounts for some of his success.

The Chamber of Commerce Is prepar

wjich seems likely to bob up in the
Legislature again in tne coming session
which, if passed, will put duck shooi
ng out of the running nt one of 'the

The bill aims to enact a law to pre
vent the feeding of wild ducks in the
lakes along these rivers. It was up
at the last Legislature, and some
thought it a joke, but It developed a
rather alarming strength before it was
beaten. Information has come to the
chamber that the bin Is to be brought
up again in the next session.
Presumably the interests that are
backing the bill are located in South
ern Oregon and Northern California
whither the wild ducks would have to
fly, taking with them the duck hunters.
it feeiing were abandoned in Northern
Oregon.
In the early days the wapato. w.ilch
furnished food for wild ducks, was lux

the Columbia and Willamette.
Then some philanthropist Introduced
carp into the Columbia ana the carp
promptly exterminated the wapato and
left the ducks foodless.
So t'.ie owners of the duck lakes be
gan feeding, and the sport remained
good, but it will remain good only
while the ducks are fed.
TIGEItS MAKE MOST EK ROUS
Vernon, However, Has Iteeord of 7
Games In How Without Bobb'e.
Vernon, with a total of .330 errors for
the 1916 Coast League season, piled up
the biggest total of miscues In the
fielding line, but Vernon took the
league honors for the year when it
came to the playing of consecutive er
rorless games. Early in the season
Vernon went through seven straight
games without an error, and no other
club was able to equal thut mark dur
ing the year, although Salt Lake came
close, with a string of six errorless
games.
Second to Vernon for total errors
during the season came Oakland and
Portland each with 328: San Francisco
was next, with 327; Los Angeles, 312,
and Salt Lake, 300.
San Francisco showed the largest
number of errorless games played dur
ing the season, going the route 58 times
without a bobble. The tail-end Oakland
club was next in line, with 62 errorless
games, being one of those baseball
paradoxes that Is further emphasized
by the fact that the champion Los An
geles club played fewer errorless
games than any other club. Salt Lake
played 51 errorless games; Vernon. 47;
Portland. 45. and Los Angeles, 44.
Vernon's run of seven errorless
