' Just how- many Aggie students will accompany the team to Portland Is not known at this time? In view of the fact however, that no western school supports its team any better than does the Corvallis institution, it is to be taken for granted that there will be a good turnout. Owing to the long jump from Pullmai. It is likely that only a few crimson, and gray rooters will be on hand. Albany Ducks More Plentiful. .ALBANY", Or.. Nov. 18. (Special.

AUTO DRIVER BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY Joe Mielke Held for Death of . Viola Cummings. . USE OF LIQUOR ADMITTED POLICE AID RED GROSS BZ HARRY M. GRAYSON. "When practice reveille for the 190 football season is sounded it is likely that there will be three new western fcotball coaches two In the Pacific coast intercollegiate conference and the other in the northwest circuit. It is practically certain that William H. "Bill Hargitss will not be at the helm of the Oregon Aggies next season. The University of California, it is known, is very much dissatisfied with Andy Smith, while it was Cleaned some time back that the Idaho players had refused to play further under Coach Bleamaster. The Corvallis army has had a disastrous two years under Bill Harglss, who left his position as phys ical director and coach at Kansas state normal college to take charge of the Beavers. Not a conference game has been won by the present Aggie mentor and the hot dope is that he will tender his resignation as football coach soon, but may remain permanently at the Benton county in stitution as athletic director. Blessed with a wealth of material, Coach Harglss simply has not had any luck In winning football games. The University of California may tret Tad Jones, who was famous as assistant coach at Yale. It is said'' that prominent alumni have decided that Jones is the man for the job and are starting a drive to obtain the services of the former Yale star. This will not be the first time that Jones has been offered the position. In 1915, when California returned to the American game, the former Yale Fig rial caller was offered the posi tion, but because of his loyalty to his alma mater, when he heard the call coming to help out the Blue coaching staff, he turned down the proposition. If Andy Smith beats Washington at Seattle Thanksgiving clay there may be a switch of senti ment. It would seem that much of Andy's future hinges on this big game. When Idaho played "Washington State college at Pullman a fortnight ago the Moscow players gave out the information that they had refused to work further with Coach Blea master. It was at that time under stood that Assibtant Coach Hutchln son, a former Princeton player, had taken charge of things and would henceforth direct the destinies of the Idahoans. a It is declared that Coach Bleamaster of Idaho will resign at the end of the present season. Idaho, with the best team in five years, has taken some terrific maulings Oregon and Washington State administering two of them. Bleamaster had a heavy schedule to contend with and did not pick any of his opponents. That much must be said In his favor. a..- Tickets for the Oregon Aggie Washington State college game were placed on sale at 10 A. M. yesterday nt A. U. Spalding & Bros. store, Broadway and Alder street. The Cougars must win to stay in the race for the Pacific coast championship while the Beavers are determined to win their first conference game in two years. Saturday will mark the Corvallis crowd's last chance this season to break its jinx. Officials for Saturday's game were named yesterday. George Varnell (Chicago will referee with Plowden Stott ( Stanford umpire. George A! Anderson (Columbia) is to be the head linesman. Varnell and Stott often work together. This pair efficiently handled last Saturday's Oregon O. A. C. classic at Kugene. Oregon Agricultural college has but one more game scheduled after Sat urday. The "Aggs" gravel to Spokane on Thanksgiving day to combat Gon zaga college. OFFICERS COMPETE IX DIS POSING OF MEMBERSHIPS.

More than 300 Portland policemen are bitter rivals in the ilea cross membership drive, keen competition having been aroused in the sale of Red Cross buttons.

Reed, "inspector-general" of the cam paign, last night. Directors of the livestock exposi tion are working out a scheme where by the livestock industry and its supporters can do a splendid turn for the Red Cross. They will sell at auc tion a number of animals one from each breed, if present plans materi alize the entire proceeds to go to the Red Cross. - The Portland Union Stockyards has promised a fine steer for the sale, the Tillamook cheese interests have pledged the six prize-winning cheeses from their display.

This brings the total for th'e campaign to $43,000. Seattle's record was slightly higher than Portland's at last reports and workers locally are spurred to greater efforts by that fact. Reports from Columbia county re ceived at headquarters yesterday were: Deer Island, $170; Kerry, $330; Clatskanie, $327, and Goble, $107.

Clarence A. Zimmerman, who is in the city looking after Washington State's end of things yesterday received a tele gram from J. Fred Bohler, athletic director at Pullman, saying that the students were endeavoring to arrange the trip for the musical fellows. James J. Richardson, general manager of the students' activities at Corvallis, is doing his level best to have the orange and black "jazzers" on the job. Clarence Zimmerman, famous as a Cougar end for four years, is now a prosperous farmer near Pullman. He returned to school this year to take up some additional work and was prevailed upon to coach the frosh. Zimmerman says that Moe Sax, the former Jefferson High school star and running partner of Ike Wolfer, is go ing great guns for the Cougar fresh men this season and that Head Coach Gus Welch sees much promise in him for 1 920. Sax intended to enroll at Oregon this fall, but for some un known reason drifted to Fogland. Although those who are now pre dicting that Sundays headline will read '0. A.

They content that the AegTes are long overdue and can t be kept down for ever. Quarterback Bill Steers. University of Oregon, eeems to be a bear on swinging end runs. He featured them against the Aggies on Saturday and played havoc with both ashington and Washington State on the same play. Bill is a remarkable sprinter for one who weighs 180 pounds.

Durkee threat en Hurley Hogue with the revolver 1 and lose possession cf the weapon in a fair fight? This is a question to be decided in the police and district courts today, as the result of two warrants issued yesterday. At the same time that Hogue turned in a revolver at police headquarters from which the cartridges had been extracted, and swore to a complaint charging Durkee with assault with a dangerous weapon, Durkee was importuning Deputy District Attor ney Dempsey for a warrant charging Hogue with larceny of a pistol. Both warrants were issued. Durkee. who is proprietor of a Hotel in Sellwood, asserted that during a dispute over a board bill Hogue floored him and stole the revolver which dropped from his hip pocket. Hogue declared that Durkee threat ened to shoot him and that he took the revolver away -from the hotel- man in self-protection. Joe Mielke, driver of the automo bile which killed 7-year-old Viola Cummings at Thirty-second and Di vision streets Monday, was bound over to the grand jury following an in quest conducted last night by Coro ner Smith. Mielke must also appear in the municipal court this morning to answer a charge of reckless driv ing. Mielke has often been arrested on charges of bootlegging and being in toxicated, but he last night denied that liquor had anything to do with the latest accident. Motorcycle Patrolman O'Halloran last night testified that the driver was not drunk at the time of his ar rest, but declared he could smell liquor on Mielke's breath. Closely questioned by Deputy District Attor ney Dempsey, the prisoner admitted that he had quit drinking only a few days ago. Mielke Admita Drinking. "You had something Monday morn ing, didn't you?" demanded Dempsey. "Oh, only a little cider and a glass of beer or two before noon," was the reply. I had a few drinks the day before." Witnesses called were Arthur A. Pe ters, B. Taylor, Mrs. Herman Thies and 8-year-old Verna Knight, who had been Viola's companion in cross ing the street when the fatal accident occurred. The little girl said Viola had. one foot on the curbing when the car knocked her down, ran on to the corner, skidded and stopped. Taylor, who was driving a machine on the same street, testified that Mielke apparently did not slow down when he saw the children. The street he said, was dry and there were no obstacles in the way. He did not re member hearing the driver sound a warning and stopped his own car be cause he was quite positive the chil dren were going to be run down. Mrs. Thies said that from the dis tance at which she witnessed the mis hap it appeared as if Viola we e try ing to dodge the car. She threw up her hands and the machine strack her in the back when she was but a few feet from the curb. The child received a fracture at the base of the skull. Fait Driving Is Denied Mielke admitted that he saw the girls when about 100 feet from th'em, and said it looked as though they were playing tag. He planned to pass about six feet to one side of them, but declared that as he approached one apparently tagged the other and she ran in front of the machine. He was driving 15 miles an hour, he said, and maintained that he sounded his horn. A collision at East Glisan street and Grand avenue with a car belonging to Chester A.

We most heartily disapprove such action, by whomever done; we condemn the spirit that prompted it; we disclaim all responsibility for it and all knowledge of it until notified that it had been done; and we assure you that we shall use every effort to detect the one or ones who did it, whether in or out of school. We as sure you also that we reflect the spirit and feeling of Washington students in the matter. "Verv sincerely, "WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATED STUDENTS. "DOUGLAS FARRELL, President." Mr. Herd man is emphatic In his opinion that no one In Washington high school was responsible for the painting. "Students at Washington resent this depredation as much as those at Jefferson." Mr. Jenkins voiced cordial senti ments on behalf cf Jefferson high and declined to accuse anyone. He sad: "I have told the students that If Jefferson ever retaliates for this act I will see that the school retires from the interscholastic league. The affair was evidently prompted by to morrow's championship game and was intended to bring about bad feeling between the two schools."

PAINTED STATUE CLEANED WASHINGTON HIGH DISCLAIMS JEFFERSON' DESECRATION". Expressions of Good Will Made on Both Sides on Eve of Cham pionship Football Game. Scrubbing brush and scouring ma terials wielded by five prominent Washington high students yesterday morning removed a coat of paint from the bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson in front of Jefferson high school, but failed to clear up the mystery surrounding the identity of the artist who had decorated the figure on the eve of the school's big football game. Profound apologies on the part of the Washingtonians who, it wag at first feared, were responsible for the desecration of the memorial, led to expressions of good feeling on the part of the students and principals of both buildings and a search for the culprit or culprits is now in progress. When Principal Hopkins Jenkins reached the school vesterday niorn irg almost the first thing that at tracted his attention was a crimson coloring about the figure, on its face, its stockings and vest and all about the granite base of the statue. Here were boldly lettered the words. "We cannot tell a lie. We did it- George Washirigton." Mr. Jenkins immediately phoned to H. H. Herdman. principal at Wash ington, who took the matter up with the associated students.
