A triple pass, liaison to Hill to Right End Maloney. which the small, speedy end made good for 6 7 yards, put the pigskin ac-ois in the second period for the only score of the game. Fullback Hill made the score 7 too when he kicked The pass was one of the neatest bits of football that han been Fhown in the interscholastic league this season and caught the? Columbia team com pletely off itj guard. Kicking Content Staffed. The first period was a kicking con test between Hill of Benson and John son of Columbia, with the honors fib- ut evenly divided. Both the lanky ceiiter. who does the kicking for Co lumbia, and Fullback Hill, who sends t'cfem away with nis south hoof for Benson, got off some good punts. In the second period Benson put across the only score of the game when, with only a few minutes left to play. Coach Billy Bryan's boys worked the triple pass which brought home the bacon for the Mechanics. At the start of the second half Columbia opened up and a pass, Doug las to Tony Dwyer, started the ball toward the Benson goal line. An at tempted pass on the last down, which was broken up by the Mechanic sec ondary defense, lost the ball for the Prep, school. After an exchange of punts. Ben eon started on a drive towards the Columbia goal. A pass. Hill" to Maison, netted the Mechanics 15 yards, and with Fullback Hill smash ing through for good gains they worked the ball to within seven yards of Columbia's goal line. An offside penalty set the aggressive Benson boys back five yards and on the next play an incompleted for ward pass over the goal line gave the pigskin to Columbia on the 20 yard line. Two Regulars Are Out. Johnson immediately punted out of danger and during the rest of the game the ball see-sawed back and forth across the center of the field. Coach tieorge Dewey kept Buss Douglas and Captain Charley Lake, two of his regulars, out of the game during the first half, but was forced to use them in the second session iu an effort to turn defeat into victory. For Columbia George "Blue-Beard" McKiel and Murdock showed up well In the backfield while Johnson and Tony Dwyer played well on the line.

Secret of Welch' Success as Coach Discovered. lt'a All In Way He Holds Cigar, Abe Krmp FindH. FOOTBALL fans in Oregon who view with some alarm the impend ing clash between Washington fciate college and Oregon on the gridiron have tried repeatedly, but in vain, to secure the recipe for success iad to such good advantage by the Pull man mentor. Really, it is si simple matter. He did not gain it as a herit age from Glenn Warner under whom he won his sheepskin nor did he ac quire it on any football field. As a matter of fact it has nothing: whatso ever to do with football. Abe Ke.np, who arrived in Port land yesterday, says he is violating no confidence in saying that the se cret of the success of Gustave Welch as a football professor is due to the way in .vhich he holds his cigar. Welch is a great football coach and all that, understands the Carlisle sys tem of attack as thoroughly as he does the lunch counter offensive, but all this to. the contrary notwithstand ing, it is the careless, flippant, non chalant manner that Welch handles perfectly good and costly maduros that is in a great measure responsi ble for the successful conduct of his men on the field of battle. Abe always thought that the only etiquette required in handling a cigar i ended with the purchase, but it re , mained for Welch to convince him : that a person is not cultured to the nth- degree until he has perfectly mastered the art of holding a cigar in such a way as to look the ashes in the face .11 the time and wonder at their vile longevity, j Kemp first glimpsed Welch in ac j tion during the Washington State j college-Multnomah club game at i Spokane. He was sitting on the side lines in confab with Lonestar Dletz. Curled between his second and third fingers was a steaming leaf of good Virginia tobacco. The burning end faced toward him and the puffing end away from hi.-.i. At intervals he would twist his hand and bring the real end toward him following which a wreath of pale blue smoke would envelop the substitutes on the bench and render them less liable to criti cize the regulars. It seemed that ecvery time Welch took a puff his team scored a touch down and a frenaied rooter behind him fcaid, "Do you know that fellow Welch is a wonderful cigar smoker. I think he really signals his team with thai cigar." And so does Abe Kemp. OLD lltlS TO CLASH WILLAMETTE AND PACIFIC PLAY 11TII GAME SATURDAY. Winner to Be Real Contender for Non-Conference Championship of Pacific Northwest. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) When Coach Mathews' cohorts line up against the strong Pacific university eleven next Saturday afternoon, it will mark the 11th gridiron engage ment between the two institutions. Of the ten games played since foot ball relationships were begun in 1S99, Willamette has been victor in all but two. In a majority of cases the Willamette-Pacific contest has decided the northwest non-conference champion ship, and the team winning Saturday will be a real contender for the flag. It is uncertain just how formidable a lineup Coach Mathews can summon for the fray. Tackle Miles Is out for another week, and Toble. also a tackle, is In no condition to last through the game. Quarterback Ir vine is on the list of uncertainties, al though it is thought that he can pilot the Bearcats through a part of the contest. Although the real etrength of the Forest Grove team is not known, the results of the respective contests with the Chemawa Indians show that nei ther of Saturday's contenders will have a great advantage. The custom of having the annual freshman bonfire, abolished during the war, has been reinaugurated. PACIFIC PREPARES FOR FRAY Day Gives Men Strenuous Workout for Salem Game. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The Pacific University football tea.n is undergoing a strenuous week of prac tice under the tutelage of Coach Day j in preparation for the game with Wil lamette at Salem, November 8. This c promises to be one of the best college j games of the season. Coach Day has been working on ; many new combinations in the back- field. Just what men will be called upon to carry the oval against Coach Matthews' strong eleven cannot now be ascertained. Either Captain Fowler or Goodman w;ir act in the capacity- of ouarter back, with Wolfe at fullback. The halfback positions will be left 'o Schultz, Taylor, Hoar and Graham. The line is being drilled ha d in an endeavor to withstand the hea'er line of the opponents and V stop Matthews' speedy backs. Mos Im portant of these changes ara the plac ing of Wolfe at the left e id and V. alker at tackle which will help to give more weight to the Pao'ic i:ne. Quite a number of the Pac'fia stu dents will journey to Sa!;m with the team. PREP CONTEST WHOM ONE FRAXKXIX-WASHIXGTON- COM BAT IS IMPORTANT GAME. Strength of Colonial Gridders More or Less in Doubt Mill Out to Wallop Jefferson. Everything points to a hard con test when Franklin and Washington clash this afternoon on Multnomah field. To keep in the running for the championship honors Washington will have to annex a victory today but whether or not the close, line-smashing formation which Coach Tegert has been drilling into the East Side squad will be able to score against the more open style of football used by Frank lin remains to be seen. Franklin has a couple of fast men in King and Poulsen, and both of them will bear watching. Coach Rehbien has been making several shifts in his lineup and prob ably will put a combination on the field today that will make the going hard for Washington. It only can be conjectured what Coach Tegart has done with the Wash ington team since taking over the reins at the East Side school. Wash ington has played only . one game since Tegart was appointed coach and as that was against Commerce, It was hard to draw any conclusions as to the scoring ability of the Colonials. Coach Quigley's Jefferson team which is still leading the interschol astic league, has signed for a Thanks giving day game with Baker high school at Baker, Or, The Democrats have only one more hard game on their schedule for the remainder of the season, which is the contest with Washington, "November 19. If Wash ington wins from Franklin today the game on the 19th between Washing ton and Jefferson will in all prob ability settle the championship. Jef ferson meets Hill on November z4 and the Cadets may upset the dope by trimming the Democrats. The slogan of Hill is, "Beat Jefferson." Yale Wrestlers' Meets Billed. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 6. Yale's wrestling schedule for the coming winter has been announced.

JOE GORMAN AFTER ENDURANCE Spanish Feather Wants to Set Coast Milling Mark. MALONE TOPS NEXT CARD Midget Will Meet Jimmy Dundee at November 19 Show; Hronson .W'ard Match on Fire. Joe Gorman, the slashing Spanish featherweight, who has taken part in 22 contests this year, Is out to set a coast record for taking part in the greatest number of battles during 1J continuous months. Gorman will fat ten his list by two bouts within the next fortnight, for next Wednesday he clashes with that clever Oakland featherweight, Jimmy Dundee, at Se attle, over the six-round route, while the following week he will attempt to annex the coast featherweight championship from Frankie Malone in the headliner of the show being planned by the municipal boxing com mission here by November 19. During the past year the little bat tering ram has lost but one start, that to Danny Frush, the English featherweight. Dundee and Malone are without question the class of the feather weights of the coast and. with the exception of Harry Pelsinger, stand out far above the boys of that pound age. If Gorman succeeds in trim ming the two Californians he will have little trouble in overcoming what little claim Pelsinger or any boy of the featherweight class may have on the title. Either Dundee. Malone or Pelsinger is conceded a good chance of getting a decision over Gorman in a four or six-round bout, but it is a horse of another color when they start step ping the distance. Frankie Malone of Oakland is con sidered without a peer in California, and besides having easily trimmed all of the featherweights, holds decisions over most of the lightweights of any repute in the Golden State. Matchmaker Jack Grant is endeav oring to sign Muff Bronson and Bobby Ward to meet in the ten-round semi-windup of the show which it was announced will be held at the armory on November 19. Ward and Bronson fought a fast six-round mill in Aberdeen last Monday night, the Portland boxr taking the decision. Ward hails from St. Paul. Weldon Wing will make his first appearance in Portland since his bout with Danny Frush, on the next bill, having signed to tangle six rounds with Joe Coffey, a well recom mended featherweight from San Francisco, who is now in Seattle. Sailor Georgie Brandon, Portland's popular featherweight, who returned home last week after two years" service in the navy, will go six rounds against Neal Zimmerman on Novem ber 19. Brandon started training yesterday and expects to win over the fast coming Zimmerman, who Is looked upon as the most likely pros pect at hia weight in this neck of the woods. "Gunboat" Smith, the former con tender for the heavyweight crown, would like to box In Portland and has written Matchmaker Jack Grant for a bout. Boy McCormick, the English light-heavyweight, who is now in San Francisco, would also like to battle here and Grant is con sidering a match between him and Frank Farmer for some future date. Jimmy Hili, former Australian featherweight champion, will box in San Francisco tonight. Charley Rose, . who has trained Johnny Coulon, Freddie Welsh, Jack Brltton, Carl Morris and scores of equally luminous fistic lights, has been engaged by Jack Kearns to act as trainer for Jack Dempsey in the future.

SITE INCLUDES 15 ACRES! Consolidation of Sterrett and Port- ! land Rendering Companies Made Large Exports Predicted. Portland is to have a new large packing plant that will be owned and operated independently of any inter ests associated with the large eastern packers, and which will have a cap italization of 1500.000. The site for the modern plant is to be on a tract of 15 acres adjoining the site of the Pacific International Livestock asso ciation, and is to be in operation 'as soon as the buildings can be erected. The plant will take over the pres ent business of the Sterrett Packing ) company and also that of the fort land Rendering company. The for mer is located on Columbia " slough and has been operating as an inde pendent plant under city inspection. The enlarged plant will be under gov ernment inspection and the corpora tion is going into the business with i the intention of making it a large in stitution that will engage in world trade. Export Trade to Be Sought. It will develop connections for ex port of its products through the Pan ama canal to Europe and it is the opinion of the men interested that there are rich fields for domestic trade in the southern states, especially in Texas, that can be reached by ship lines through the Panama canal to better advantage than the same ter ritory can be served by the packers of the Missouri river cities. With a large Independent plant, financed by a group of stock grow ers and with a packer of large ex perience in charge, there' is every reason to believe that it will result in rapid growth of this market, both in the volume of its business and in encouragement to increased produc tion of livestock throughout the tributary territory. During the past 15 years this has become a large pro ducer of pork, whereas when the first big packing plant was built It was deemed necessary to depend upon shipment of fat hogs from the corn belt to supply that portion of tha product. George Dickson, cattleman and cap italist of Prineville; J. L. Sterrett, head of the Sterrett Packing company, which will be the name of the new corporation, and George W. Warren of Warrenton, are the principals in the new enterprise. There are a number of other men associated with them, of ample financial resources and widely known in the livestock industry to give assurance of ability to carry to success the plans of the company. The work of forming the corporation has been brought to com pletion after negotiations extending over several months. Packer Is Experienced. J. L. Sterrett has had large experi ence in the packing business, former ly with Swartzchild & Sulzberger at Kansas City. Ho built and for 13 years was manager of the Western Packing company plant at Denver, and built and put in operation a large plant at Uruapan, Mexico, about 500 miles west of Mexico City. George Dickson was formeirly identified with the Kansas City stockyards, and was for some years a buyer for Swift &. Co., in. the big Missouri river market. He is now a large feeder and has 800 head of cattle in his yards in the Crooked river valley. The new plant will embrace all of the most modern features of an up-to-date abattoir, with facilities for handling quantity storage as may be found necessary to engage in the export trade. It is the expectation that with the establishment of the new shipping lines between Portland and European ports, as well as to the Asiatic side of the Pacific, there will be extensive new markets opened that can be bet ter supplied from Portland than from any other packing house center. Mr. Sterrett last night expressed the fullest confidence in the success of the big enterprise and said that when in fuU operation there will be employment from the beginning for more than 200 employes. PASTOR WARS ON BOXING SEATTLE MINISTER SAYS HE WILL FORCE SHOWDOWN. Rev. M. A. Matthews Calls Bouts Pure Prizefights Prosecuting Attorney Waits on Sheriff. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 6. (Special.) - Characterizing the recent public boxing contests as nothing less than prizefights. Rev. M. A. Matthews pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, this afternoon took steps to again clamp the lid on that s-port in Seattle. In letters to Sheriff John Stringer and Chief of Police J. F. Warren, the minister called attention to the stat ute prohibiting such exhibitions and declared that the law will be enforced here or he will -see that the public knows why, either from those officials or their bondsmen. Dr. Matthews said it was an ultimatum to those of ficers. Sheriff Stringer admitted that he had received a- protest from Dr. Matthews and said he had forwarded the minister's communication, with a letter of his own, to Prosecuting At torney Fred C. Brown. That official said he had not received any word from tha sheriff. "There has been no complaint to me, and until I see what the sheriff and Dr. Matthews say, I cannot tell what I will do," said the prosecutor. L "A few weeks ago a boxing com mission was named to keep the sport within the law, and if there have been transgressions there will be prosecu tions. Boxing is popular here and there has been no clamor against it when it is confined to legitimate clubs and their members. However, I wili await the sheriff's communication be fore doing anything."

DEFENSE BEATEN RECOVERY OF PAPERS SEIZED IN RAID DENIED. I. W. W. Leaders of National Rep utation Fail to Appear at Im IMirtant Trial at Oakland. OAKLAND, Cal.. Nov. 6. (Special.) Twice the I. W. W. met defeat in preliminary skirmishes when the case of James McHugo, secretary of the Oakland I. W. W., came up for trial today before Superior Judge James G Quinn as the first important prose cution under the recently enacted syndicalism law. Jurors will be se lected tomorrow. Recovery of papers and pamphlets seized by the police in the raid on McHugo's home and a demurrer to in formation charging violation of the syndicalism law were asked by the defense. Judge Quinn in both ques tions ruled for the prosecution. - Although the life of the I. W. w: organization In the United States is involved in the case, leaders of na tional reputation in the I. W. W. failed to make their appearance in the courtroom today. It is expecte'd that they will not be brought Into the case until next week, when the trial is well under way.

Limiting Sales and Con struction Is Due to Drop to Min imum" in' Week or So. Within the next week or so build ing construction in Portland and Ore gon, as well as throughout the north west generally, is due to slacken to a minimum, if It docs not cease entirely. The directly responsible cause will be a shortage of nails, already . becoming manifest ard certain to assume the proportions of a genuine famine in this humblest of hardware. Nails are already being doled out, rationed al most as was sugar In the war days, when Portland wholesalers and re tailers receive an order. The steel strike, in this phase of production shortage, has reached the northwest. Inasmuch as the humblest dwelling or the largest warehouse cannot rise without nails, if it be built of timbers and boards, it is held to be obvious, by those in touch with the shortage, that a good many ham mers will be idle in the Immediate future. "The shortage is at its outset," said T. D. Honeyman, of the Honeyman Hardware company, last night. "But it is looming up with all the magni tude of a genuine famine. There are no nails to be had. The United States Steel corporation operates warehouses in Portland. Seattle and San Fran cisco. Customarily large stocks of nails are carried. They are now out of all sizes and are utterly unable to make deliveries to meet the demand." Hardware stores are filling orders with but a portion of the number of kegs requested. But their reserve sup ply is already depleted and cannot last long. Within the next two or three weeks, it is said, the situation will become acute unless production Is resumed. The Associated Oil company, with extensive building under way at its Linnton plant, was able in the local market to obtain only three kegs of a certain si?.e that was required.
