Oregon’s veteran trainer, was less hopeful, but just as positive, that the Oregon men will fight the game to the last ditch. Said Bill, “I don’t say that we can beat them, but I do say, that whether we beat them or whether we don’t, we should play the game. I should rather see the game played at Corval lis or at Eugene than at Albany, but much rather at Albany than not at all. “The tedm is badly battered after the hard Washington game. Bailey is crippled with a charley horse and a badly sprained ankle. Bradshaw has a cracked rib and will probably be out. Hjill’s shoulder is out of com mission again. The hard ground of Denny field played havoc with the team. Team at Great Disadvantage. “The fact, that we have been up in the air so long in regard to the game, has also counted against us. The team was trained up to play the Washington game as the climax of the season Now, at the last minute, we get this game. It means that we shall have to build up the team all over again within a week. “But you may say that we will play that gameL if we have to put in the second tea pi to do it.” The Freihmen of Washington State College captured the interclass cross country championship by a score of 78 to 58 for their nearest opponents.

Several weeks ago, Alba men, represented by Wi' of that city, saught to break the dead lock existing between the two col leges over the selection of a loca tion. Last Saturday the Corvallis authorities intimated that they would consent to a game on November 23, if Oregon would agree to play at Al bany. Consequently, to make possible an acceptance of any formal proposition from Corvallis, the Oregon Athletic Council this morning hurriedly called a session in the office cf President Campbell, and put itself upon record as favoring the campus game and of fered to play the Agricultural Col lege either in Eugene Realizing, however, the importance of establishing friedly relations between the State Colleges, they decided to permit the staging of Albany as a last resort. Aggies Sanction Contract this After noon. the game in A meeting of the O. A. C. student body was called this morning to take place at noon, but when this did not materialize, the athletic council of that institution met and formally made the proposition to Oregon to play the game. This wg.s immediate ly made known to Oregon by long distance phone and accepted by Man ager Geary. The Corvallis Athletic Council however placed a string upon their proposition, declaring that the Student Body Association, which meets this afternoon at 5 o’clock, must give its sanction. This is ex pected without difficulty. A written contract will be drawn up in Albany tonight. This contract is expected to be drawn with abso lutely no reference to any future games. Oregon’s Stand Consistent. Oregon’s position in regard to this game is purely from a standpoint which looks to friendly relations be tween the two state colleges. During the past two months Oregon has made every concession within its power to secure this game. In the face of a generally predicted aefeat has Ore gon been willing to play the Agri cultural College. But these conces sions have been ignored, and each time Corvallis has asked for more, until at last all hopes of the game were given up. The work of Gordon Moores and others from the Univer sity, who were in Corvallis Saturday, is largely responsible for this final proposition. Great Crowd Expected. This game will undoubtedly draw one of the largest football crowds ever assembled in Oregon outside of Portland. Rates will be given from all parts of the state on all railroads and the long continued quarrel be tween the colleges give added inter est to the event. And again, in spite of the compar ative scores, many believe that this game will be very close. Coach Dobie stated Saturday, that there can be no comparison be tween the Corvallis and Eugene teams over the respective scores with Wash ington because, as he declares, the game in Portland was more water polo than football. The defeat of Whitman by the Aggies last Satur day is declared by many to have befen due largely to the muddy condition of one side of the field. AGGIES ARE FAVORABLE Corvallis, 5:30 P. M. (Special)— The students voted unanimously for the resolution. Everything is satis factory here and we expect to go right ahead. We will meet Mr. Gea ry in Albany this evening and make final arrangements. DR. E. J. STEWART. Sir Thomas Lipton, yachtsman, visited the Washington last Wedne guest of the Boat Club. the famous University of sday as the Walter Camp says that the rea son Harvard defeated Princeton was because the Tigers didn’t take the wind and let Harvard kick off when the score was 6 to 3 in favor of the former. It was in this quarter, with the wind against DeWitt’s kicks, that Harvard scored the winning points. The Carlisle Indians are the hardi est team in the business, if not the best. They recently played two games in three days, the first against Georgetown, and then in Toronto, Canada, where they played the first international game on record where American rules were used. The In dians won both games with ease. EAGLES' SSOOO OFFER SUGGESTS ALBANY AS STAGE FQft BIG GAME GUARANTIE IS EVIDENCE OF GOOD WILL TOWARD COLLEGES ALBANY MERCHANTS EXPECT CROWD Bleachers for Gathering of 6,000 to be Erected—deary Will Arrange Details. A $5,000 guarantee to cover gate receipts, offered by William Eagles directly following the Corvallis-Whit man game last Saturday, was one of the main causes of the renewal of negotiations between the Oregon and O. A. C. authorities for a gridiron battle November 23, in Albany. For some tune the Albany mer chants have been endeavoring to ob tain the long deferred game between the rival state institutions, and the matter was brought to a head when the relative standing of the two teams was shown to be so nearly equal by the scores of the Washing ton and Whitman games. The guarantee offered by Mr. Eagles is not made with the idea that any profit exceeding the amount specified shall go to the promoters of the game, but merely as an evidence of good will and as a testimony of the belief of the Albany merchants in the ability of their town to draw a money-making crowd. Bleachers capable of seating the gathering of 6,000 fans expected will add approximately 3J5200 to the ex pense of staging the game. This out lay will be divided between the two institutions', and the receipts will be equally shared. Manager Geary will arrange final details this evening. DANCE IS POSTPONED The Executive Council met late this afternoon and decided to postpone in definitely the Harvest dance sched led for Saturday night. The excursion trains from Albany are expected to return soon after the game, but, however the game goes, the trip to Albany and back was con sidered excitement enough for one day. The date for the dance will be announced tomorrow. “The Painted Widow’’ is the title of a new magazine started at the University of Cornell. The stand ard of the magazine is said to be very high.
