Bill Hayward. 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 fact, that we have been up in

has also counted against us. The

we get this game. It means that we
shall have to build up the team all

“But you may say that we will play

The Freihmen of Washington State
College captured the interclass cross
country championship by a score of
78 to 58 for their nearest opponents.

lock existing between the two col

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

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

right ahead. We will meet Mr. Gea

final arrangements.

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.
