Game Against Westerners Is Held Impracticable. RELAPSE AIDS PULLMAN tans Focus Eyes on Pullman-University Clash In Expecta tion of New Upset. BY HARRY M. GRAYSON. While the annual game between the University of Oregon and Oregon Utate Agricultural college at Eugene next Saturday is attracting heaps of attention, Portlanders and students of Oregon especially will anxiously await the result of the Washington Washington State clash at Pullman. The University of Washington eleven, which Is usually unpopular here abouts, seems to have gained quite a number of supporters all of a sudden. The reason for the switch of opin ion is that the purple and gold can throw a great big monkey wrench into the champioshlp machinery of the Cougars should it, by any man ner of means. slip over a victory. There is not as much difference be tween the clubs as one would im agine. True, the lemon-yellow fighters licked Washington 24 to 13 and suc cumbed to Washington State 7 to 0. But this cannot be taken as a crite rion. The Oregon steam-roller which jaunted to Seattle a week ago was quite unlike the Oregon team which went on Multnomah field against Pullman Saturday. They differed as widely as a 'zephyr and a cyclone. A football team, once every season, is keyed up to its highest pitch. An eleven usually puts its all into one big game, after which there always follows a sort of a relapse a letting down. "Shy" Huntington's fighters played heart and soul against Wash ington. The men won, but had ex pended "that something" which they could not regain in the week which lay between the Washington and AVashington State contests. The old fight was there against the Indian's men here Saturday, but the driving power was not and therein lies the reason for the Willamette valley kids' defeat after outplaying the Pullman ites in nearly every department of the same. Although the Oregon Aggies have have failed to hit a big league stride thus far this season the material is down Corvallis way and the husky proteges of Bill Hargiss are certain to give the lemon-yellow a stiff ecrap. The Corvallis folk are leaving no stone unturned to fetch home a vic tory. Mike Butler, for years physical di rector of the Chicago Athletic club and who for the last ten years has conducted a physical culture school in Portland, left yesterday to take over the conditioning of the Aggies. Mike will remain with the lads for two weeks, during which time their two hardest games are scheduled Oregon ana Washington State. In addition to the services of Butler, Coach Hargiss will have Everett May, ex-assistant coach under Dr. E. J.' Stewart and ex-graduate manager! to help him out. As a result of Brick Leslie, center, breaking his hand against Washing ton state on Saturday, Oregon will be without the services of the big cen ter in the Aggie game. "Prink" Calli eon, however, if he performs as he did the last quarter on Multnomah field, will fill the bill to a Shy" Huntington and Bart Spellraan are not worrying. The Aggies will go Into the Oregon Same with somewhat of a crippled lineup, despite their two weeks' rest. Those who will handicap the team the most if they are not their 100 per cent selves are Duke Hodler, a won derful halfback, and Carl Lodell. the best punter on the Corvallis muster role. Hodler was taken sick just be fore the California game and is etill under a physician's care. Lodell has a bad ankle, but will probably do the punting anyway. He outkicked Bou cher of California, bad ankle and all. It was learned yesterday that Cur ley Skadan, who started at quarter back for Washington state on Satur day, broke his ankle when he was forced off the field the first three minutes of play. This Injury, although T-ery unpleasant, will not handicap the Cougars, for Captain Dick Hanley will be in chape to play quarterback against Washington. ' Andy Smith's University of Califor nia crew had a hard time beating the University of Southern California 14 to 13 at Los Angeles Saturday. A loss to Andy would have taken a lot of color off the California-Stanford game billed for Palo Alto November 22. Idaho at Moscow Saturday licked the University of Montana 7 to 0. It was Idaho's first win of the year. The report came from Moscow on Thursday that Coach Bleamaster's players had refused to play further for him, and that Assistant Coach Hutchinson had taken over the team. If this report was true Hutchinson must have put some paprika into the Gem staters, who up until Saturday nad been acting like a pack of Jess Willards, although the three beatings taken by them were from stronger teams man Montana. Portland's next big league football attraction will see Washington State college pitted against the Oregon Ag- e-ibb on Multnomah field November 22. Gus Welch, the Pullman coach, has two tough opponents to down before he establishes a clear claim to the coast championship for his institution. His first test somes Saturday, when he meets Washington at Pullman. m Teams conditioned by two of the best trainers in the game met on Multnomah field Saturday afternoon when the University of Oregon and Washington State college locked horns. Bill Hayward of Oregon gets plenty of publicity hereabouts and therefore is better known than J, Fred Bohler of the Cougars. It is seldom that a conditioner of athletic teams receives credit for any of the winnings of his charges, but heaps ot glory should go to Bohler and Hay ward for the past performances of Pullman and Eugene teams. In Bill Hayward and "Harmony Doc Bohler, Oregon and Washington state can well boast of as clean and sportsmanlike trainers as can be found in the land. Hayward has been In Eugene since the original Mr. Lane first discovered the county which now bears his name, while Bohler has spent 12 years at Pullman. Hayward and Bohler have seen legion of coaches come and go, bu remain to be liked much better each year. The truth is, that although Bill and Doc have had tempting of fers from many larger institutions, so according; to the Tale student news Attached are the lemon-yellow and paper. . f''f ' ( - rf x .

Hayward and Bohler are landmarks on their re spective campuses. "Bohler gymna sium" will be the name of the new athletic home which will be erected at Pullman some time next year. Long live Bill and Doc. EX-CHAMP VISITS SCOTLAND Mrs. J. H. Hurd of Pittsburg After British Golf Title. Mrs. J. H. Hurd of Pittsburg, who, as Miss Dorothy Campbell, won the British, American and Canadian championships a decade ago., is on a visit to Scotland, for the first time in some years. She has entered for the British women's championship, to be held at Burnham, Somerset. Com menting on her attempt to capture the British title, the Canadian Golfer says: "It will be Interesting to note how she will measure up with the younger school which has sprung up since her 10 years or so of residence in the United States and Canada. Mrs. Hurd is still a very fine player, but it is doubtful whether she will repeat her many successes of years gone by. "It is rather a remarkable fact, but true, nevertheless, that the fair sex do not commence to keep up their game as years creep on like men players. A woman over 35 years of age has never won a high class cham pionship, while many men have." Mrs. Hurd was one of the few prominent women golfers not in the recent American national champion ship at Shawnee, owing to her ab sence from the country. She won the United States title in 1909 and 1910, the British title in 1909 and 1911, and the Canadian title in 1909, 1911 and 912. O. A. C.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9. "Babe" Ruth, champion home-run hitter and member of the Boston American league team, hit two homers today. one in an exhibition game at Oak land and the other in San Francisco. In the second game Ruth opposed Ruether of the Cincinnati Reds as pitcher and won his game. 3 to 2. The Oakland game was a 10-inning tie, the score being 10 to 10. "Buck" Weaver of the Chicago White Sox was hit over the right eye during practice in Oakland and suf fered an injury which colored the eye and prevented him from playing in either game. GAME PLAYED IX WATER All-Stars and Independents at Marsbrield Eail to Score. MARSHFTELD, Or., Nov. 9. (Spe cial.) The All-Stars military eleven and the Independent football teams played to a tie today on the Marsh field gridiron, 0 to 0, the ball being at the center of the field when time was called. The contest was played in pools of water and mud. Several players were put out of the game by injuries. "Kid" Bennet was one of the star players, handling the left end like a veteran. Yale Boxer After Martin. Tale has a boxer, according to the Yale Daily News, who has repeatedly beaten Sergeant Bob Martin, heavy weight champion of the American ex peditionary forces. He is Edward P. Egan, and if he is ever matched with Martin he will make it unnecessary for Jack Dempsey to meet the army champ, according to the News. Egan is now on the Tale varsity footbarl squad. He won the middle weight boxing championship in the inter-allied games and would have entered the heavyweight class, but was ' refused permission. While in Europe young Egan boxed Augie Ratner.

RIGHT - alleys, after the smoke had cleared I last week. The Hadley-Silvin team altsn hn1di tYit h i ch t , u rr. frame rpenril ! for the season on the Portland alleys of 901. The big noise last week was made by the U. S. Nobby Cord Tire team on the Oregon alleys, which broke three records for the season in one night. Frank Roberts shot 277 for high individual game, and 635 for three games, giving him an average of 212. The Nobby Tire team bowled 1060 for its second game and a 2953 total for three games, which is the record up to date for the entire city this season. All of the teams shot well. Marty Flavin got 625 for an average of 208. Henry shot 621 for three games. The Toke Point Oys'ter Grill team also showed up well, turn ing in 1020 in its second game. Individuals are "knocking 'em dead" in league games on the Oregon alleys this season. Olson of the O.-W. R. & N. team showed some real class with 623 for three games: Bender of the Canco league turned a 649 total: E. Sincoe was high man in the Mercantile league with 90, or 197 average. "Red" Irwin, a well-known San rancisco bowler, was a Portland visitor last week and left yesterday for his home.

STANFORD POLO TEAM LOSES Olympic Club Victorious by Score of 8 to 3. . STANFORD UNIVERSITT, Palo Alto, Cal., Nov. . (Special.) Stan ford water polo players met defeat for the first time this season when they were downed by the Olympic club team in the "Winged O" pool by a score of 8 to 3. Stanford played a good game throughout, but was up against the fastest team on Its sched ule. Too much ducking caused the local team to lose its star. Captain 'Brownie" Webster. Webster is used to the American game of water polo, where ducking is allowed, and was very soon ruled out by the officials under the English rules in force here this year. Writer Gives His Opinion. A Washington baseball writer, J. V. Fitzgerald, thinks the defeat of the Gleason-led White Sox in the world's series a big boost for Clarence Row land. In any event, he says, it shows Gleason was not the man responsible for the success of Rowland and the Sox in 1917. However, while Gleason was finishing first in the American league whatever happened to him in the world's series Rowland was fin ishing last in the American associa tion, and there you are. Rickey Still After Players. Though the St. Louis Cardinals al ready have more players reserved than the law allows, reports are that Branch Rickey is still trying to sign more. He is said to be after Ben (Candy) Smith, formerly with Omaha, who played independent ball in Illi nois the past season. Smith is not carried on Omaha's reserve list. Pitts. 7, W. and J. 6. PITTSBURG. Nov. 9. The Uni versity of Pittsburg gridiron eleven won the western Pennsylvania foot ball championship Saturday by de feating Washington and Jefferson college for the fifth successive year, 7 to 6. It was the hardest fought contest here this season and was wit nessed by more than 30,000 persons. - v GRAMMAR GAMES SET SCHEDULE FOR YOCXG GRID PLAYERS AXXOUXCED. Ten Schools Will Contest for Foot ball Honors Stiver Trophy Up for Winning Team. The Portland Grammar school in dependent football league with ten schools entered will get off to a fly ing start this afternoon, accord ing to a schedule drawn up by T. E. Speirs and his assistants. It was at first thought necessary to divide the schools into two sections on account of the differences in the weight between some of the teams, but the smaller teams expressed them selves as willing to stack up against the heavier squads and as a result there will be but one circuit. The schools that will make up the league are Arleta, Shattuck, Rich mond, Central, Vernon, Irvington Clinton Kelly. Dixon, Failing and Kellogg. A handsome silver trophy will be put up for the championship squad. Arrangements as to fields and of ficials will have to be made by prin cipals or captains of the schools play ing from day to day, and the results of the contests must be telephoned to Principal Speirs at his home.

As a result of Saturday's football games in the east. Harvard, Dart mouth and Colgate are still unde feated.

Dartmouth trimmed Bob Folwell's University of Pennsylvania crew 20 to 19. the failure of Helnie MHle to kick two goals after touchdowns losing the game for Penn.

Syracuse sent Bucknell to the showers with a 9 to 0 licking while Washington and Jefferson pressed Pittsburg to the limit before Glenn Warner's pets won 7 to 6.

Long gains by Springer and several brilliantly executed forward passes paved the way to a 13-to-0 victory for the Michigan Aggies over South Dakota Saturday. The two touch downs were scored in the first two periods. BEZDEK'S TEAM FAVORED Penn State Suggested as Worthy Opponent in Annual Clah Be tween East and West. There is a plan on deck to bring a team pf Harvard stars to the Pa cific coast to play at Pasadena on New Tear's day, opposed to the best western team, which will probably be Washington State college. The chief sponsor for the idea is Major Paul Withington, who coached and cap tained the champion American expe ditionary force S9th division team in France last spring. Major Withington is already In touch with Pasadena authorities. He proposes forming a team of ex-Har vard stars, all amateurs those who want to play for the love of the sport. If the plan is carried out, the team will bo organized to play a series of games the rest of this month and December. Then, if the suggestion is acted upon favorably bv the Pasadena authorities. the eleven would come to California for the New Year's day tussle. Withington. according to Coach Gus Welch of Washington State col lege, was so impressed with the en- husiasm the men exhibited in France hat he believes it feasible to organ ize a team in this country. Coach Welch, right after Saturday's game here, left for Arlington, Or., on a duck hunting trip. He plans on be ing back on the Pullman campus to day ready for the hard grind which will send the Cougars against Wash ington Saturday in the best possible condition. Faculty Bales Prevent. Major Withington's plan to bring an all-star team of former Harvard players to Pasadena Is not sound. There are various angles to it that make it altogether impracticable. There is no question but that it would be a great treat to see a lineup ot Crimson jerseys in action in Cali fornia and faculty rules prohibit a regular Harvard team from making the trip, although it is said that the famous old institution is about to break away from the moss-back idea of not permitting its team to play out of its own back yard. The personnel of a team of ex- Harvard stars would furnish severa ail-American faces. According to i letter received here yesterday from Pasadena man on the inside, three ail-American stars of the first water Eddie Mahan. "Tacks" Hardwick and Bill Trumbull are mentioned already having been obtained by Major Withington. although the for mer is an out-and-out proressiotia i having coached the University o California backfield and teams o other schools. This trio had no com petition for selection on Walter Camps all-American in the days when they were luminaries on east ern football fields. But forming a team in France from ex-stars in France to play footbal and one in this country are two dif ferent subjects altogether. Across the pond the men were in perfect con dition. They were hardened by army- exposure and toughened by prolonged marching. Men who turned out for football were excused from other duties, and they devoted as r.-.urh time to practice as any collegiate j aspirant. Many Points Xslwd. These men now have returned to civilian life. For the most part they are married." and are in business or occupied with professional work. That they would have the time or the inclination to take up football seriously for two months is very doubtful. Then, too, it is doubtful if the Pasadena folk would want to bring them west. With the exception of 1918. when the marines and Great Lakes played as the feature of New Years day and the Tournament of Roses, it has been strictly a college event the best eastern college team obtainablo against the best western college team. This is the way things should be and the only fashion in which the event can be kept before the nation as the annual meeting of west versus east. Harvard sports one of the best teams in ttie east this season and at this writing stands as one of the logical clubs to make the western trip. However, if the crimson faculty will not allow the 1919 team to make the jaunt intact. Colgate. Dartmouth or some other representative eastern team undoubtedly will be pleased to. What's wrong with bringing Hugo Bezdek's Penn. State team out? He's lost but one game this season and listed among his victims is the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. The fact that Bernard H. Damon acting manager of the 1919 Harvard football team, wrote first to the Pasadena authorities relative to the game for Major Withington's all- stars tends to show, more or less. that the present crimson eleven will not come west if it is picked to op pose Washington State college or whatever team wins the title or makes the best records on this western slope. MINOR OWNERS TO COXIER Annual Convention to Open in Springfield Tomorrow. CHICAGO. Nov. 9. Presidents and club owners of several western minor leagues left tonight to attend the annual convention of the National association of Minor Leatjues which opens in Springfield. Mass., Tuesday, continuing for three days. Any attempt to restore the draft which gave the major leagues the privilege to obtain the star players of the minors each fall, will be fought, according to A. R. Tearney, president of the Three-I and Western leagues, who effected the break be tween the minors and majors a year ago over the draft issue. Shoulder Bothers Southworth. PITTSBURG. Nov. 9. The shoulder which Billy Southworth of the Pitts burg Pirates broke in St. Louis in the final series was injured a year or so ago, it will be remembered, and never had regained Its strength, the old in Jury bothering Southworth's throwing all season. For that reason there is some uneasiness because of his sec ond mishap. Arleta Hoopers Win Game.
