HARD FOUGHT GAME
Washington Defeats Nevada,
Two to Nothing.
m -THE, SEATTLE: GROUND?
Northerners Given the Championship
of the Coast-Outplayed the
Visitors at Every Stago
of the Game
SEATTLE, "Wash., Nov. 20. Special.)
The University of "Washington won. the
championship of the Pacific Coast today
by defeating the star football eleven of
the University of Nevada by & "score of
2 to 0.
The game was the closest and hardest
gridiron battle, that haB ever been pulled
off in Seattle. Although the two teams
wero most evenly matched, Washington
outplayed Nevada at every stage of the
game, with the possible exception of the
punting.
Trelsel, Nevada's left halfback, was un
doubtedly the star of the Southern ag
gregation. His kicking would compare
favorably with any of the big elevens
of the country, while at carrying the
ball he is likely one of the best backs
that has ever played on the Pacific
Coast Two of his punts from free kicks
each netted 65 yards. Trelsel, together
with Steckle at right half and Knox at
full back, formed the great strength of
the Nevada eleven.
"Washington's power was duo to a line
through which It was impossible to gain.
Scherer at right guard and Segrlst at
left tackle distinguished themselves a
number of times during the game. Tom
McDonald also proved to be a good match
for big Ab Steckle. Pullen at left guard
and Scrim at center played equally good
games at their respective positions.
The safety whljh gave Washington her
two points was made during the first half
after 15 minutes of play. Segrist blocked
a punt, forcing Trelsel to fall .on the ball
behind the Nevada goal line. Twice Wash
ington had the ball within striking dis
tance for a touchdown, only to lose it
to the visitors. Spledel tried a place kick
from the 15-yard line. The ball went
squarely between the posts, but about
six Inches too low.
ALL READY FOR THE FRAY.
University of Oregon Eleven Confi
dent of Victory. -
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) Everything is in
readiness for tomorrow's football game
between Oregon and the State Agricultur
al College, and if present indications count
for anything the contest will be witnessed
by a record-breaking crowd. The 'varsity
eleven will enter the game in a some
what crippled condition, owing to the ab
sence from the line-up of Center Rush
Reld and Right Guard Earl. Reld con
tracted a severe cold In the Oregon
Washington game last Saturday end has
been unable to practice this week. His
place will be filled by Carl McLean, a
husky substitute. Earl, who was called
away from college Monday, by the death
of a sister, will be out of jthe game, and
his place will be filled by Penloud, the
light-weight guard, who did such effective
work in the game at Seattle. - All the rest
of the Oregon men will be found in their
regular positions and most of them, are in
good form. Coach Smith put his men
through their final practice thl3 after
noon and expressed himself as being sat
isfied with their work. In the evening a
monster football rally was held on the
university campus and the enthusiasm
displayed reminded one of the old days
when Shattuck, Edmunson and Coleman
were the idols of the 'varsity gridiron.
Speeches were made by a number of
prominent students and graduates.

OREGON MEN IN BIG TEAMS.
F. Whalley Watson Writes of Players
That Have Von Distinction.
A communication has been received from
P. W., better known as Whalley Watson,
son of J. Frank Watson, of Portland,
now studying mining engineering at Col
umbia University In New York, regarding
Oregon football men in the East:
"Columbia University. N. T.f Nov. 15.
Sporting Editor, Morning Oregonlan. Dear
Sir: I have noticed from time to time this
season in your columns special notice has
been token of Oregon men playing on the
football elevens of Berkeley and Stanford
in California. In the same connection It
is my purpose to call your attention to a
few of the Oregon men in the teams of
two larger universities of the East.
"The team of Columbia, which yesterday
finished a most successful season by de
feating Cornell, and which has only once
suffered defeat, and that at the hands of
Tale, was captained by Richard S. Smith,
of Klamath Falls, well known on the
Coast as Dick Smith. He has developed
into one of the best defensive backs on
the gridiron today, and ia looked upon as
tho surest ground-gainer in the team.
"Chauncey M. Bishop, as left end on the
same team, comes from Salem, Or., and is
not only an aggressive player In his posi
tion but is used to' punt, and has a splen
did record in this line.
"As field general of the Tale team
F. H. Rockwell, of Portland, quarterback,
is looked upon as second to none in the
country.
"The Oregonlans in Eastern colleges ore
proud of the records these men have made
and of the state which has produced them.
Tours truly, F. W. WATSON."
SECOND TEAMS SUBSTITUTED.
Willamette University Defeats Al
bany College 16 to 0.
SALEM, Or., Nov: 20. (Special.) Will
amette University's second team today de
feated the second team of Albany College
by a score of 16 to 0. At the last mln.
ute, the first-team game, which was to
have been played between the two schools,
was called off on account of the Inability
of several of the players and the scrub
game substituted. It Is probable that
the two 'varsity teams will meet here
December 5.
In the first half, Willamette Juniors
easily demonstrated their superiority by
gaining two touchdowns and one goal. In
the second half Dupeys, of Albany's first
team, was run In, and the Juniors were
only able to score once, carrying the ball,
however, almost to the line a second time,
where it died. The field was wet and the
crowd small, but the best of feeling pre
vailed. The lineup follows:
Albany Butler, left end; Walt, left
tackle; Zumwalt, left guard; Morsters,
center; Bean, right guard; Barnes, right
tackle; French, right end; McCurcher (c),
quarter; Rowel, left half; Bllyeu and
Dupeys, right half; Shaw, full. Willamette
Catlln, right end; Shanks, right tackle;
Fisher, right guard; Spires, center; Aver
511, left guard; Knotts, left tackle; White
nan and Dart, ileft end; Winslow'quar-J
ter; Matthews (c), rglht half; Jerman,
left half; Trammell, full.
Time of halves, 20 minutes each,
WEIGHT VERSUS AGILITY.
Factors In the Yale-Harvard Game
Today.
In today's footbalb game with Tale at
Cambridge, Harvard is hampered by the
disadvantage of having an exceptionally
light team, while Tale is rather heavier
than usual. The Tale Hne averages 20
pounds more to the man than their Har
vard opponents. The question Is, Can
Havard's' line hold 'against the Tale
plunge3? The mere question of weight ar
gues. No. Skill and speed ore woncTerful
aids. Princeton won by them last Satur
day, but ordinarily sheer weight and brute
force, in epite of the dicta of side-line
critics, are the most powerful factors in a
football game, and furnish tho violent
physical struggle that constitutes the
charm of the game. With weight on her
side. Tale, like the equally heavy Dart
mouth team, should defeat Harvard- If
Harvard wins she will deserve a like
credit with Princeton, which received, the
applause of the whole country for the
wonderfully skillful and Initiative game
put up against the much heavier Tale
eleven.

WEAK EYES HIS DEFENSE.
President of Porter Bros. Says Other
wise He Would Explain Books.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. When the hearing
in the matter of the Porter Bros bank
ruptcy was resumecl today, James S.
Watson, ex-president of the big California
fruithouse, was placed on the stand and
subjected to a rigid cross-examination as
to what has been done with vast sums
of money which had come into his hands.
Attorneys Gacu and Greenfield, who rep
resent an Eastern creditor of the bank
rupt company, assert that the books of
Porter Bros, credit Mr. Watson with
$1,500,000 in cash and no explanation is
given in the ledger for the entries aggre
gating this sum. The attorneys further
allege that these entries represent profits
received in secret from the Fruitgrowers'
Express Company as rebates since March
SL 1S96.
"Why were not these rebates credited
to the account of the Porter Bros' Com
pany?" asked Attorney Bach.
"Because I could not split the checks,"
replied Mr. Watson. Mr. Watson pleaded
that the books of the concern which he
alone could understand would furnish the
only proof of all his dealings, and he.
could not present such evidence because
of his weak eyes.
It was stated by Attorney Bach that the
matter of the rebates had been brought to
the attention, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. James Brltt
was given the decision over Martin Canole
at the end of the 20th round at Colma to

him a shade the worst of it. Selger wa3
very strong and forced the fighting for the
flrst few rounds. Then Queenan took the

Socialists Name a Man for Head of
Labor Federation.
BOSTON, Nov. 20. Samuel Gompers will
be opposed for tho presidency of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor when that or
ganization elects officers tomorrow. The
Socialist element In the convention held
caucuses today, and decided to name Del
egate Ernest Kreft, of the Philadelphia
Typographical Union, as a candidate for
the presidency of the federation.
The feature of the proceedings, today
was the acceptance of the report of the
executive council's report on the brewery
workers' trouble. The committee's report
recommended that the Cincinnati agree
ment, so-called, be reaffirmed and this
was done.
The flrst business of today was to adopt
Eomo plan whereby the problems arising
from the relations of the building trades
affiliated with the Federation might be ef
fectually settled, either by first enlarging
the executive council or creating a special
committee which would have extensive
powers to deal with tho building trades
difficulties. Action upon this matter was
postponed from yesterday, when the con
vention was divided as to the proper
course to pursue.
Vice-President Duncan stated that Pres
ident Roosevelt had responded to the ap
peal of the Federation, repeatedly made
to many presidents, and had pardoned
Ephriam W. Clark, who has been serving
a life sentence for murder as one of the
schooner Jefferson Borden mutineers. The
announcement was greeted with applause
and a vote of thanks was ordered to be
telegraphed to the President and congrat
ulations to Clark.
Tho committee on law reported favor
ably 'on a resolution to add two members

MINERS END STRIKE BY BALLOT
Northern Colorado Tie-Up Likely to
Be 'Broken Completely.
DENVER, Nov. 2a As a result of action
of the miners in the northern field, the
strike Is practically settled there. The
local union of the. coal miners of Louis
ville, the principal camp of he Northern
Colorado cool fields, voted on the revised
proposition of the operators, and accept
ed it by a vote f 119 t 8.
The only change In the revised propo
sition is that a distinction is made be
tween thick and thin coal in the Louis
ville district Six feet is made the di
viding line between thin and thick coal,
instead of 5& feet.
This afternoon the Northern Coal &
Coko Company was officially notified. The
other locals vote on the revised propo
sition tonight. It Is thought the propo
sition will be generally accepted.
The action of the miners Is largely due
to the efforts of John F. Ream, the rep
resentative of the National organization
who advised the settlement In the north
ern field.
It is not known how the miners in tho
camps other than Louisville have voted,
but tonight a call was Issued for a mass
meeting of all the miners of the Northern
Colorado fields to be held at Louisville to
morrow, at which it is expected, the mat
ter will bo Anally settled.

LOS ANGELES, Col., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Portland took a. wonderful bracer
today, and the way the Webfooters
smashed the ball around the corral sent
the cold chills chasing up and dawn, the
spine of the seraph sympathizers. Every
body got a whack at It, some two, some
three, and Freeman didn't stop till he
had put five to his credit.
It was a weary outfit of top-notchers
who took the car from Agricultural Park
after tho doings. Leg-weary and sore,
they hastened from the grounds. They
had had enough exercise for a week.
Over the fields they chased after the
bounding sphere, but It was useless. Gray
was annihilated in the first inning, and:
soon his fielders deserted him. Then he
went up In the air. Not a man did he
fan. Each batter did something to the
ball, and when tho ball rolled beyond the
pitcher it was juggled.
Shields was by no means invincible, but
ho had rare support. The infield, which
has been playing listless ball all-week,
was on the alert, and every chance was
taken cleanly. The Seraphs found Shields
for 13 biffs, and bunched them thicker
than mosquitoes In Summer time. Four
came In a bunch in the fourth round, the
deal was repeated In the sixth, and three
were tacked on in the eighth.
Spies was at "first today for Los An
geles, and took unto himself a homer. The

York says:
"Doc" Newton, champion baseball

great record In the East, and several
managers were bidding for his services.
Of late ha has shown In California that
his arm is still with him. What price
Harris had to pay his man is not known,
but it is safe to say that it is not a great
deal below the sum paid Joe Corbett on
the Coast.

elevator shaft to the seventh floor,
where a clinic room was destroyed.
The loss is $30,000. Amid tables on
