(Special.)- Wash ington prospects for the Oregon game have steadily improved during the week and have raised enthusiasm on the Washington campus to a high pitch. A large number of students accompanied the team to Eugene, a special car being reserved for last night and a large number leaving be fore that time. Twenty-six men made the trip with the squad, including the trainer, man ager and property men. The team left Thursday afternoon following an enthusiastic rally on the Washington campus. The only probable change in the lineup this week is the shifting of Jimmy Bryan to fullback. Bryan has been on the line all year at guard and tackle and the change comes as a surprise. He is fairly fast and .com bines weight and driving power to advantage, ripping up the scrub line almost at will. Line Considered Strong. Coach Allison, has not definitely named the other men that will play tor the sun .Dodgers, but it is prac- tically certain that Eckman and Dailey or possibly Butler will be at halfback. Johnny Wilson will run the team as quarter and Bryan will complete the backfield. On the line Captain Faulk and Bob Abel are playing end, Ingram and Clark tackle and Hobi and Glenn at gu-ard. With Smith at center this line presents a defense that Oregon will have difficulty in breaking. Ingram and Smith are going particu larly well. Team Morale Is High. A general speeding up of play and more open work on the offensive has characterized practice this week. The eleven is running better than they did against the Cards, seeming to have regained the fight and teamwork that has been lacking. VRegardlng Washington's chances. Coaches Allison and Solon are non committal, contenting themselves with the statement that the Sun Dodgers will put up the best game of the sea eon. The team left confident of vic tory and determined to win Its last conference game of the season at any cost. Oregon Lineup Is Trifle Heavier in Game Today. Teams That Meet at Engene Are Pretty Evenly Matched. rTIHE average weight of the Uni- JL versity or Oregon football eleven, which plays the University of Wash ington at Eugene today Is 173 pounds, compared to 17114 pounds for Washington. There is little to choose from between the two in the way of team weight and its distribution. Oregon's forwards average 179 pounds, and the Washington forwards lip ine Deam at exactly the same average. The Oregon backfield av erages 162 pounds, to 158 pounds lor W ashington. It is now almost certain that Rine hart will not be able to start at quarter ior uregon, wnich means that Bill Steers will be shifted from half to quarter, with Meade playing bis half position. There also is a possibility that Loughlin w-ill play center, as JiricK Leslie, the veteran passer, is laid out temporarily from tonsiiltis.

Coach "Shy Huntington said It is anybody's gam Coach Huntington tonight had decided his line-up. "Brick" Leslie, the regular center, has been in the infirmary since the first of the week and was released only yesterday. If he is not able to start, Bart'Laughlin probably will take his place. The guard at which Edward played is an other place which "Shy" has to fill which is worrying him. Either "Scotty" Strachan or Floyd Shields may start. The other line men prob ably will be Mart Howard and Rudd Brown at the ends. "Spike" Leslie and "Tiny" Shields at the tackles and Carl Mautz at guard. In the back field there may be several changes. Shy" may start his old backfield of Rinehart, Hill, Steers and King, but some of these men are not in the best of condition. Neither Rinehart nor Hill may be able to start. "Shy" still has Pete Mead, Nish Chapman and Tony Jacobberger to fall back on in that case. M'MLXXVILLE WIXS GAME Forest Grove High Is Defeated in Armistice Day Contest. McMINNVILLE, Or., Nov. 12.

Fall ing of darknss so soon after classes are dismissed in the afternoon was given as the reason. ' The "Big Stick" of the University of Washington. '"'which disappeared ! from the Washington campus Wednes day night.' was retrieved Thursday night at the Portland office of the American Express corhpanx and was sent back to Seattle under strong guard. The club, which, was one of the chief treasures of the Washing ton university, was en route to the University of Oregon at Eugene when recovered. The relic was insured for $1000 and the express company was as eager as thesWashington students to prevent its loss again. The O. A. C. beaver, another of the college relics, which was missed from its usual resting place at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house at Seattle, Wash., has not been found and Its erstwhile custodians have be gun, a diligent search- for It. The beaver, originally the property of the student body of Oregon Agricultural college, was appropriated some years ago from that Institution by the Uni versity of Washington. Suspicion pointed boldly at the University of Oregon campus as a good place to look for the missing beaver. BEAVER OX ECGEXE CAMPUS Animal Said to Be in Safe Keeping and There to 'Stay. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Nov. 12. (Special.) The, Oregon Ag ricultural college beaver that was taken from the Phi Gamma Delta house at the University of .Washing ton two days ago has mysteriously made its appearance on the Oregon campus. No one seems to know from whence the beaver was taken or any thing about it. The fact remains, however, that the animal is here and according to certain students, it is in safe keeping. The Washington stick which was taken at the same time the beaver was taken, is on Its way home, it is believed. It is rumored that the stick never passed the Portland express of fice, although nothing definite is known in Eugene. The Oregon men who brought the Beaver to the campus tell a rather strange story of sleeping under the train bunks and generally staying out of, sight until arriving in Eugene. The stick was of such size that it could not be carried and so was expressed. It is very probably in its own home now, or at least that is' the belief of the students on the campus. The story of how Oregon nearly obtained the much-prized Washington big stick shows carefully laid plans to bring it to Eugene. Two Oregon students left for Seattle several days ago. When they arrived on the Seat tle campus they visited every house, finally finding the stick in the Fiji trophy room. They smuggled it out and went to a cheap Jap hotel that night and, after considerable diffi culty, secured lodging. .Next morn ing they secreted the "stick" In truckload of trunks and expressed it to Eugene. Washington men learned of their loss and got out a search warrant. but the stick" was already In Port land. The Washingtonians immedi ately followed it and in Portland ob tained a federal injunction which pre vented the express company from shipping the prize to its, destination. The Washington students in Eu gene planned to have the iron "hook" here to display at the rally, or at least to bring on the field during the game. It is rumored that the "hook" was sent by express to Eugene by 200 University of Washington stu dents as consignors. These men, it is said, must sign here at Eugene be fore the prize can be delivered. The original plan was to chain it to eight Seattle boys and show it to the Ore gon rooters. It is not known whether or not the hook will appear at the game. - SIR BARTON OWNER ACCUSED Racing Commission Charges At tempt to Embarrass It. BALTIMORE, Md.. Nov. 12.

Central connected with one who knew and he replied, "64 to 0." "In whose favor was it, Chehalis. I presume?" "No. Vancouver." A silence and then the Inquirer faintly asked, "Was anyone hurt?"

A pool of $640 was made, it is understood, and covered by local men.

Chief In terest In the eastern football games tomorrow centers in the Yale-Prince ton contest. Several others. Includ ing the Pennsylvania - Dartmouth, Pittsburg-Washington and Jefferson, Cornell-Columbia and Harvard-Brown conflicts will attract local attention. Princeton enters the contest a slight favorite over Yale and with an ex cellent record of victories. All foot ball form, however, is likely to go awry In the Princeton-Yale game as has been demonstrated time and again when these ancient rivals clash. It has been laid down as a foot ball axiom that Yale never is worse than an even money wager against either Princeton or Harvard and with an occasional exception . this is true. Because of her impressive early sea son record and the tie with Harvard last week, Princeton has been quoted in certain quarters as a one-sided favorite to defeat Yale. This, how ever, does not appear to be justified. Princeton, under the coaching of Roper, has undoubtedly developed a fast, well drilled machine with an at tack built around several players of individual talent and ability. Lourie, Garrity, Keck and Murrey fit in well with the system of quick dashing runs, ball following, blocking and forward passing. The offensive ap pears to be better developed than the defensive. Against ' this machine. Yale will hurl an eleven of greai potential foot ball power, but which has shown lit tle ability to take advantage of its full strength. Whether Yale under the rivalry and stress of facing Princeton will suddenly rise to the full realization of its strength and batter its way to victory by sheer power, only the game will demon strate.

Arrangements have bee - made f - tne seating of 52,000 spectators in the stadium and It was said sever .1 thou sand more would be accommodated with standing room. Princeton was a slight favorite in the betting tonight with Yale sup porters demanding odds of five to three. There were very few wagers placed at these odds, however, most of the orange and black adherents holding out for even money. Yale has suffered one defeat this season, at the hands of the strong Boston college eleven, while Prince ton to date remains undefeated. Harvard-Yale Numbers Dropped. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 12. The players of the Harvard football team will not be numbered in the game with Yale. r in any other contests. Coach Robert Fisher announced to night.
