v - WINS BY A POINT Multnomah Defeats Cor-, vallis 11-10. . GREAT GRIDIRON BATTLE Collegians Score Two Touch Downs in First Half, CLUBMEN TWICE IN SECOND Murphy Kicks the Goal That Gives Victory to Athletic Club Players, Who Fight Hard Against Well-Trained Eleven. Multnomah, lL CorvaUIs. 10. With what looked like sure defeat star ing them In the face, Multnomah's sturdy uona yesterday afternoon defeated Cor lallls in one of the most spectacular and stubbornly-fought gridiron battles in the history of the club. The farmer students sent against the clubmfen an eleven that was, by all odds, the best and fastest that the club has met this year. Before the game "was six minutes old, Corvallls had pushed Abraham over Mult nomah's goal line for the first touchdown, then In Ave seconds after the ball was again kicked into play, the students se cured their second touchdown. Both at tempts at goal failed, but the score stood 100, and the big crowd of Corvallls root ers went wild with joy. The game was cyclonic. Old-stagers, men who have played in a score of foot ball games, and have seen games galore, were amazed at the speed displayed by the farmers. So fast was the team that Coach Steckle sent against tne clubmen, that the collegians made the clubmen look cumbersome and woefully slow. TheN students seemed to be possessed with a physical endurance that was almost su- rrhuman. They tore through aiuitno- nit-1. opntnr ror rreat trains, iney ran arount&jight end like the proverbial cooper around TtJurr6I, -nd did it so fast that it almost, took . breath out of the Multnomah, rooters. Grim despair settled ever them, but the "never give up spirit" that Is perched on the clubmen's banner was there. Defeat look certain, yet they cheered on, mingling their tuneless songs with the exultant shouts of the visiting rooters. Goal Kick Won the Game. Then came the second half. In less than eight minutes a little more than half of O. A. Cs score was wiped out. The clubmen scored a touchdown and Murphy kicked a pretty goal. As the ball flew over the bar and between the posts, Mult nomah won. A miss, and the final score would have been a tie, 1010. The club men were out to -win and with Pratt, Ijonergan and Stott In the -game, the tide jvas turning. The students' apparent vic tory was oozing, and soon again the sec mfd touchdowr.' was made. Murphy failed by a narjMW fraction to kick goal, but the five points that were annexed was. enought to win the game by the single point. It was a great victory for Mult nomah, and In defeat O. A. C. Is not dis graced. The collegians accomplished what Oregon failed to do. score against the clubmen, and on this they declare that If the Eugene students had gone against the same team that faced Multnomah yester day, Oregon would have been defeated. Corvallls Scores in First Half. Long will the brilliant work of Root, Abraham, Steckle and Williams, of O. A. O. linger in the memories of those who saw the game. Their work stood out as lear as the noonday sun, for these play ers traveled down the clubmen's field, and ia 24 plays Abraham was pushed over the line. Cooper failed to kick goal. It was Root's spectacular run of 40 yards around Multnomah's right end that made the first touchdown possible. After that there was no stopping the students, for they continued their onward march. The sec end touchdown was a fluke. O. A. C. kicked to Murphy, he juggled the ball a moment, and It was his undoing. Before he could get straightened out, Abraham and two other students tackled him. at once, and he was hit so hard that the ball was knocked out of his hands. Abraham shook himself clear of the mixup,. sprang at the ball and was away and across Multnomah's line before he could be downed. This time Steckle tried for goal, and he also failed. Multnomah Wins in the Second. That was all for the gallant sons of O. A. C. In the second half Dolph, Pratt, Lonergan and Stott showed the metal they were made of. The entire Multno jnah team took a "brace that was simply wonderful. They went toward O. A. C's goal with a series of gains at a pace that was remarkably fast, and finally Dolph, his sweater almost torn from his mas sive back, was pushed over the line. Chet Murphy kicked the goal, and it was this perfect booting of the oval, which shot between the posts as straight as an ar row, that won the game for the clubmen. The second touchdown was due to the splendid playing of Dolph, Lonergan and Koran. Fighting like demons to save the honor of the club from defeat, these three men. barked up by the perfect teamwork behind them, rent holes through O. A. C's lines. Lonergan's great gain of 20 yards, preceded by a clever run by Stott, was as brilliant as that of Root's. His feat set the Multnomah rooters In a frenzy of de light, and their cheers and shouts drowned the pleadings of the Corvallls sympa thizers. The plea for the farmers to hold the line was pathotic, but it was of no avail. There was no stopping Multnomah. The human avalanche that was hurled against the students was a fury of muscle and brawn that could not be checked. The gloom of the approaching evening settled down on the field, and with It came the certainty xf defeat ior Cor vallls. With Dolph as the battering-ram, and with Horan, who was sorely hurt early in the game, and Lonergan, fur nishing the motive power, the line was crossed a second time. Murphy missed the goal. The game ended with the ball in possession of O. A. C. on the team's own 40-yard line. Of the individual players and -the work they -did reams could be' written. Dow ling's poor showing was due to injuries. He went Into the game with a dislocated shoulder and a badly sprained ankle. Gordon, on the other end, gave a bril liarft exhibition of .football. Few. if Any, gains were made through him. Stott's work was great, and so was that of. Ross, Kirkley. Keller and Murphy. For O. A. C. Root, Steckle, Abraham and Williams were the stars. McMillan Is Cieered. A feature of the game was the appear ance of George McMillan, who entered the game when Koran was hurt. This was the first time this year that this crack player had on a uniform. No sooner had he loft the clubhouse than lie was spied, and a great cheer went up from the club- CA men rooters. He was In the game but a short time, -but he was In the thick of all the plays that came off, and made several of his old-time brilliant tackles. CORVALLIS MAKES FINE START Rush T trough Line for One Touch down, and Fumble Gives Another. Thp ram a heiran with Stow kicklnt? off for Multnomah, the ball spinning into the MISSING GOAXS LOST GAME. Corvallls Flayed Brilliant Football Against the Clubmen. BY GEORGE M'MIIiIiAN. In one of the hardest, cleanest and best football games ever played on Multnomah field, the Oregon Athletic Club team lost to the club boys by the close margin of one point. Two touch downs were scored by each team, O. A. C getting both scores In the first half and M. A. A. C. in the second half. Bad O. A. C. kicked either of the goals the score would stand even. It is really too bad the college v boys lost such a brilliant game because they were not able to kick a coal. Both were easy trials, and there is hardly any good ex cuse for O. A. C's poor showing in this department of the game. The game opened by the club kicking to O. A. C. The ball was secured by Boot on O. A. C's 15--rd line, and he carried It back 15 yards before being downed. Bight here Boot gave evidence that he was to be a strong factor in the game. O. A. C. kept the ball from the start until the first touchdown had been scored. In about 15 minutes of actual play the collegians had carried the ball across Multnomah's goal line, a distance of 93 yards. It took just -4 plays to do this, a feat never before accomplished against the club team. Boot and Abrahams were the greatest ground-gainers for their team on this V"ip to the olub goal, but Quarterback Blnehart had displayed rare judgment in giving the plays. The Corvallls boys scored their aecond touchdown by a fum ble on Murphy's part. He was tackled hard and dropped the ball. Abrahams secured it and ran 15 yards for a touch down. All through the remainder of the half O. A. C. outplayed the club team. In the second half Murphy made some changes in his team and adopted an entirely new system of attack. He se cured his first score by using tackle runs. Stow and Pratt were given the ball for big gains. By this means he made the O. A. C. line play -wider. The eecond score was made by using Dolph, Lonergan and Horan. The work of these three backs was as good In the second half as that of the O. A. C. backs in the first half. It was really a great game. The club was not so weak In the first half, but O. A. C. was very strong, and opened the game with euch a rush that Multnomah wai completely surprised. arms of Root, at the ten-yard line. He returned it 15 yards, carried it three more on the first scrimmage, and after Abra ham had plunged through the center for five, dashed around the end in the first of his splendid runs, which gained most of GOAL 5 W JS 2Q J25 50 35 3 50 3 70 75 J20 2.5 Of-- 0 CHART RTOONIST HARRY MURPHY'S . v " ' " - .-- t n - in i 1 the ground for Corvallls' first two touch downs. He rounded Dowling and was thrown by Murphy In the center of the Held. Williams then took the ball with a two yard gain on a crossbuck into tackle and another three-yard gain over center after Abraham had made the second of his' guard plays. Rhinehart was forced to run on the next down on account of a mistaken signal, and Williams found Dave Jordan on the line of scrimmage, but Abraham came to the rescue with a line plunge, bowling over the line for four yards. Then Root made his second long end run, the whole team rushing with him In beautiful Interference. The whole Mult nomah team' was boxed except Chester Murphy, and he dodged two men and threw down Root on the 15-yard line. Steckle plunged two yards and Williams barely made yardage, Jordan dragging him down. On the next down Mult nomah's center opened wide and all Cor vallls seemed to be pouring through be hind Abraham with the ball. The mass stopped just short of the goal line, but Abraham took the ball once more and scored. Cooper failed to kick the goal. The teams lined up, the kick-off was made to Multnomah and the next Instant Corvallls had another touchdown. The ball flew high and far. to Murphy on the ten-yard line. Murphy, wonder of won ders, fumbled and before he had the ball fairly tucked under his arm Abraham was down on him. tackled him and knocked the ball loose. Then he threw himself free and grabbing up the ball, ran three steps for a touchdown. Steckle failed to kick this goal. Score, Corvallls 10, Mult nomah 0. The rest of the half was scoreless but full of excitement. Stow received the kick-off on the 15-yard line and ran the ball back 15 yards. The first down for the club resulted In no gain, but a penalty for off-side play saved the situation and Horan made three yards. Corbett was tackled before ho hit the line, but gained one yard. On a wing shift Jordan next ran seven yards with the ball. Horan plunged five yards through left tackle and again for two. Corbett made two more yards and Jordan made yardage. Dolph made two yards through center and the ball was on Multnomah's 47-yard line. On the next play Stow took the ball and fumbled. Walker bowled over Grieve and lunged at Stow as he did in the game with Oregon. He was up and away with a clear field for a touchdown, but Murphy wheeled straight around in his tracks and made one of the most splendid tackles ever seen. He brought down Walker with' but a few yards' gain. Corvallls seemed headed for another touchdown. All the backs could gain read ily on the Multnomah line, though Root made less than before with his end runs. Murphy cut In on him from -safety full. Abraham made nine yards at one clip through left tackle. The right side of Multnomah's line was weaker. The advance continued to the 30-yard line when Corvallis was penalized 15 yards and a fake punt with which Root tried to recover the distance, only counted for five more yards' loss. Walker tried for a goal from the . field with a kick from placement, but Rhinehart did not get the pasB well, and Seeley broke through and spoiled the kick before the quarter back recovered himself. Multnomah having the ball, gained steadily on the Corvallls line, while Cor vallls 45-yard line was reached when a fake pass that did not work and a clever tackle of Corbett by Steckle forced Murphy to punt. For five downs Corvallls gained again, but then Jordan blocked one. play and Kirkley another, and Multnomah getting 50 35 -o 3 3? e SHOWING THE MOVEMENTS OF THE - Wo7. 77-. T7: r:rjl..

Lonergan, who had. taken Corbett's place at half made two short gains and Horan made yardage. Dolph made five clean yards through center and Multnomah was given five yards more for Corvallls' off-side playing. Pratt, who had taken Kirkley's place In the line, was good for three more yards, and Stow, the other tackle, for six more. Then Pratt opened up a hole for Stow through which he ran 22 yards, going down on Corvallls' 23-yard line. Pratt, Stow and Dolph, through tackle and guard, bore down as far as the seven yard line, where Pratt made three yards, then one more, and Dolph plunged through the middle o'f the line for Mult nomah's first touchdown. Murphy kicked the goal. The score stood: Corvallls, 10; Multnomah, 6. Multnomah succeeded in making the CLUBMEN DESBBVED TO WIN. Score of 12 to 6 Would Beprese&t True Merits of Opposing Teams. BT W. LAIR THOMPSON, BEFBREE. The game was one of the most spec tacular I ever saw. In the first half the collegians played true Michigan foot ball, and by a whirlwind offense seemed to utterly demoralize the clubmen; but in the second half the clubmen had their Innings, taking such a brace as is sel dom taken by clubmen, and earned their rTro touchdowns by hard consistent work. In defense, the clubmen were unques tionably superior. The best team won, and I believe a score of 12 to 6 would fairly represent Hhe superiority of Mult nomah. It Is true that It Is a part of the game to secure a fumbled ball, and O. A. C. should be given credit for get ting that fumble In the first half, but nevertheless the resulting score came In the nature of a Christmas gift, in keep ing with the season. As a whole it was a very clean game, and should become an annual affair. The clubmen play clean enough ball for any college. second score. Stow kicked off to Bower, who was downed by Seeley on the 20 yard line. For the next 20 yards Corval lls worked fiercely to make yardage. Martin Pratt in at tackle and Plowden Stott at end were making a difference. Root did most of the gaining, but found Stott never good for more than two yards. Steckle and Bower between them at one time made yardage, and Abraham, Root and Steckle in three more plunges carried the ball to the center of the field. A single slip was enough to break the progress and that slip was made, a fum ble, which Corvallls regained at a loss. This forced Steckle Into punting. Mur phy took the ball on the 30-yard line and on the next down made 14 yards on a quarterback run. He was beginning to make up for that fatal fumble of his, Pratt, Horan and Dolph carried the ball ten yards and Stott made ten more on an end run. With the ball on Corvallls' 40-yard line, Lonergan was given the ball, and, nimble as a kitten, slipped around 35 50 4 -40 35 30 45 94 &5 SO BALL IN THE CORVALLIS-MULTNOMAH MULTNOMAH - GORVALLIS the end, before any one could touch him and ran to the 12-yard line, making the run that saved the game for Multnomah. Of that remaining 12 yards Dolph made the first four and Pratt made two more. The burly Burrows was put in at center for Corvallls, but Dolph made three more yards over him. Lonergan in a short plunge reached the one-foot line, and Dolph was shoved over for the second touchdown, which won the game. Mur phy missed the goal by a narrow margin. If Corvallls had kicked either of its goals, the score would have been a tie. Neither of them were hard. In the few minutes that remained Root came very nearly getting away for a third touchdown, but Murphy brought him down after he had broken straight through the line: Corvallls was playing fiercely for another touchdown, but Stott was at the end to prevent big gains and threw back Root for a loss more than once. " Horan had dislocated a rib, and George McMillan, who had pulled on a suit for the first time this year, went Into the game and the one time he had he ball he went Into the line with the same old" steady plunge, netting a good three yards. There were no gains of consequence, a few punts were exchanged and the ball was on Corvallls' 42-yard line in Corvallls' hands when the game ended. Count Villa, of Seattle, and W. Lair Thompson, of Albany, were the officials. No objections were made to their deci sions, though two penalties were made on Corvallls at times when It went hard with the college boys.

He incidentally mentions that no election of captain has taken place. From papers received It appears that all the teams at the larger colleges have elected except Yale, but Dr. Rock well thinks the captaincy will be settled on the return of the basket-ball team from the South. In the papers received it Is stated that Foster Rockwell will be elected captain If the committee shall de clare' him eligible for the place, and if not Shivlen will be elected. n Scores at Waverly Links.

GAME WIN FROM INDIANS Astoria Club Eleven Makes a Score of 1 6 to 6. ROUGH PLAY MARKS GAME Sartor Makes Only Touchdown for Chemawa, While Blair and Gra ham Shine in the Commer cial Line-Up. ASTORIA, Or.. Dec. 26. (SpeciaL) The Chemawa Indian football team fell before the Commercial Club eleven In this city this afternoon by a score of 16 to 6, when It should have been at least 30 to 0 in favor of Astoria, so the clubmen thought. Each team held the other too lightly, and while neither forecast materialized, very rough play was participated in by both sides, and the penalties Imposed were much less than deserved. Captain Stockton went Into the game with water on his, knee, and Barker was in almost as bad a condition. Before the contest was over both were out of the game. During the first ten minutes of the first half the Commercials broke up the Indian line at will, and Blair was pushed over for a touchdown, but Barker missed an easy goal. The last of this half found the Indian line in danger all the time, but it held at the critical time, and Poland, the little quarter of the Chemawas, with his left foot punts, kept the ball in the middle of the field. There is no question but what his punting and general play kept a big score from being run up against his team. The second half opened with an appar ent runaway by the Commercials, as at the kick-off Blair made 20 yards,' Painter followed with 40, and on a few more downs Blair made his usual gain and was over the line. Barker again missed an easy goal. As soon as the ball was put Into play again, every man In the line was given a chance to advance It. and It did not take long before Blair rolled out of a mix-up and over the line in a play that was good.' Sartor Grabs Ball. Graham kicked a clean goal, making the score 16 to 0. In the next kick-off Barker caught the ball, and without any assistance or interference he was' tackled hard by Poland and thrown hard, the ball rolling out of his arms. Sartor grabbed 1 on the bound and ran 30 yards to a touchdown. Sartor then kicked an easy goal, making the score 16 to 6, where it remained to the end. This braced up the Indians, and they played a much better game, but It did not avail, as the Com mercials also played better, but were puzzled by the criss-cross play. If this had been attempted earlier, the Indians might have made more yardage. Stockton went out in this half with his bad knee, and was replaced by Hughes, as was Barker by Mathena, a little be fore. The last few minutes of the game was very rough, and when time was called there was a general mix-up. The line-up was as follows: Commercials. Position. Indians. Graham .Y L. E Bolton Mlnord L. T Pozzonl Goddard L. G Guardlpl Bays C Washoe Gammal R. G Charles Sutton R.T KInp Jones It. E Smith Stockton Q Poland Barker L. H Sartor Blair F.B Green Painter ... R. H Noon CHALLENGES ALL COMERS.

Articles have appeared recently in the sporting columns of the papers rela tive to a match between Emmet and men who covet his distinction as champion, but, much to his regret, none of the fight ers has put In an appearance. He is willing to meet any one in the ring, catchweights, for door receipts, but would prefer a side bet of $500. The men who have been scheduled to match Em met are O'Connor, of 220 Eighth street, San Francisco, and Cooper, of Oakland. Cal. Emmet has resorted to a personal letter to O'Connor, challenging him to a fight, but has received no reply.
