Still smarting from a 22 to 6 defeat last Friday night at Caldwell, the Mountaineer football team entered a short week of practice this afternoon In preparation for a night game at Portland next Thursday night against the Irish of Columbia university. Although not In the Northwest conference, Columbia Is knocking at the door and playing conference op ponents. Pacific university, one of the strongest of the conference teams, was held to a 12 to 12 tie earlier this season. It will bo the second game for the Normal school under the floodlights, and nervousness displayed In the Idaho encounter should be a thing of the past, grid fans agree. Only one man was injured In the Idaho game, Lassen, fullback, and he probably will play frv Portland. Following the game In the Rose City, the first there for the Moun taineers, the Normal school aggrega tion will have completed Its early season schedule and will swing Into normal school competition, with con tests lined against Ashland, Lcwiston and Alblan, all to be played In La Orande. . . Fans who saw the team play In Caldwell hall It as Bob Qulun's best team since the first year of the school, when the Mountaineers hum bled Monmouth to win the state championship. SECOND TEST FOB COM'MMA PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 10 (Special) The Eastern Oregon Normal Teach ers, from La Orande, will test the mettle of Oene MMrphy's gallant Irishmen In a football clash at Mult nomah stadium Thursday night. Mur phy's happy clan tied Pacific, 12 to 12, In one of the best played games of the fall at the stadium. I That was the only time the Colum bia outfit has met competition this fall. The Teachers will be the second real test. Murphy, believer In the Notro Dame system of quick shift and aerial fireworks, has the greatest team in his seven seasons at Colum bia. He has Merle Nehl, triple-threat halfback, to lead the outstanding eleven. Bob Qulnn, ox -Oregon, State college halfback, is coach at Eastern Oregon Normal, and his system Is modeled after Pop Warner's double and triple reverses with spinners. . Tho Warner system is made to order for Murphy's, machine. Eldon Jonne, Pacific coach, has about the best Warner-coached team in the northwest and one that outweighed Columbia. Yet the Irish forward passed for two touchdowns and a tic , after tho Badgers had pounded to two first-half scores. There Is not an injury on the Co lumbia lineup, the squad taking prac tice easy last week. Outstanding freshmen reserves Include Warren Koopang, Thornton Coffee, Pat Carr, Oeotso Albln. Tcrrence Harding, Frank Reneges and Bill Anderson. They may be seen against the Teachers. - THIS CURIOUS WORLD - Tfte KAOIAK BEAR, of the Alatkan-Penlrwula, weiSHS BUT 0 OLWCff AT BIRTH AND BEACHES AWEI6HT OF 1500 POUWDS WHEN FULL GROWN OTRIPS Of AUTOMOBILE TIRe INNER TUBES TOTAUNG 2SHCHS; WERE TAKEN FROr THE Gizzard of a chicken BV MRS.H.&iSOiOE, Humbold Term.
