WHITMAN WON BY 6 TO OREGON MTARSITT BLEVEJT BEATEN AT WALLA WALLA. First Half Wa a Scoreless Contest Captain of the Washington Team Injured. WALLA WALLA., Nov. 12. On a fast field and is lth 5000 persona witnessing the exhlbiUon, Whitman College today de reaied the University of Oregon by a score of 6 to 0. .Nothing but the fact that a Whitman runner collided with the goal post just as the whistle of the referee blew time at the conclusion of the con test prevented the score being 11 to 0, as the ball was Just crossing the goal line when this accident prevented tne score. Captain Hauerbach, of the Whitman team, suffered an injury to his knee the cap thereof being wrenched and will be out of the game for the remainder of the season. Oregon's superior kicking tactics prevented the score running higher. There was no touchdown In the first half of the fame, the scrimmage being almost wholly In Oregon territory. Ten minutes before time in the last half An keny crossed the goal line with the ball and Lasater kicked the goal. The Oregon men were visibly distressed during the last half of the game, and Whitman gained whenever it got the balL It was a warm, sunny day. Whitman kicked off In the first half. It was first Oregon and then Whitman for a few feet or yards. The first half ended without either side scoring. In the second half Whitman forced the playing and after losing Captain Arthur Hauerbach, who was injured, as heretofore noted, made a 25-yard run and a touchdown, amid great cheering. The score was completed by a kick, which sent the ball over the goal and the high fence. The Webfooters made a plucky attempt to reach their goal, but the Missionaries were too heavy, and would have made another touchdown had not the player plumped Into a goal post instead of be tween them. Time was called before either side had lined up for the finish. Tho University of Oregon team was given a royal reception at Billings' Hall this evening by the victorious followers of Marcus High School v. Medical School. The football teams of the High School and Medical School will play -this after noon on the Bishop Scott Academy field. Play will be called at 3:30 o'clock, and no admission will be charged. TAPERING OFF. Hcavy-Weigrhts Getting in Trim for Friday Night's Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. James J. Jeffries did little or no gymnasium work today In anticipation of his fight with Gus Ruhlin Friday night, but confined his exertions to a brief walk about Lake Mer rltt, at Oakland, where he is In training, and a long flounder in the baths of the Reliance Club. In contrast to this, the Akron Giant, who Is at Blaken's Six-Mile House, enjoyed a run on the beach and through Golden Gate Park this afternoon, and afterward toyed with the punching bag for a brief space, stating subsequent ly that he did not consider this exertion any too great in" the task of properly tapering off. Betting on the big fight slackened up considerably today, for the reason that there is little or no Jeffries money in sight Ruhlin has been a short-ender at 2 to 1 for a day, and the Jeffries people claim that the odds will come back be fore the fight comes off so that they may get a better chance for their money. Referee Harry Corbett -visited the man agers of both men today, and had an other conversation about the conduct of the fighters in the ring; If they do not break at the word, Corbett promises all sorts of trouble, and both hoxers are being admonished today to follow the dic tates of the referee to the letter. ' To morrow there will be little or nothing done In either camp. Spider Welsh and Joe Fields, both local men. were matched today for one of the preliminaries, and Mike Kelly and Billy Condon will be pre sented for another bout. Each mill Is to go eight rounds.
