STRONGER
Coach Bezdek's Changes Im
. prove Oregon's Chances.
EXPECTS BATTLE IN MUD
Football Fans Look Forward to Great
Game With Washington at Eu
gene Saturday Result Is
Iilkely to Be a Tie.
Interest among the athletes is now cen
tered In th Oregon-Washington football
game, which Is to be played at Eugene
Saturday. It is thought the crowd will
be a record breaker and preparations to
handle an immense throng are being
made. Many Portland football fans and
former students of Oregon will go to
Eugene to see the game anil cheer the
Oregon boys on to victory. Fred Zigler,
Seth Kerron. Frank Templeton and other
famous Oregon routers will be sure to at
tend. Reports are that the Oregon team is
In better condition than any time since
the season opened, as the line-up has been
rearranged and will be practically the
' same as in the Idaho game of October 26.
Many authorities on football are of the
opinion that Bezdek weakened his team
when he switched Moores and Chandler
to the ends and the coach himself has
come to the same conclusion evidently.
The line-up in the coming game will be
about as follows: Right end. Chandler:
right, tackle. Arspinger; right guard.
Scott; center. Hug; left guard, Pinkham
and Gillls; left tackle. Moullen: left end.
Moores: quarter-back, Latourette or
Kuykendall; right half. Clark; left half.
Zacharias; fullback McKinney. The
change has been made, as Coach Bezdek
wants heavy men behind the line for
slow muddy fields. Chandler and Moores
are gooJ halves for a light fast field, but
cannot advance the ball in the mud.
The team is rapidly rounding into con
dition and showing a great improvement
in offensive work. Oregon's weakness has
been her inability to advance the ball.
On defense the line has held like a stone
wall and it is doubtful whether there is
a team in the Pacific Northwest that
can make substantial gains on Oregon.
Unless Oregon is able to carry the ball
Into an opponent's territory. Moullen's
great kicking powers will be of little
value at Eugene Saturday.
While the Oregon boys expect to win
the game, they realize that a hard fight
is ahead of them. However, the team
averages 173 pounds and is full of ginger.
Every player will go into the game with
true Oregon pluck, which means do or
die. Aside from . the quarterback. Ore
gon's back field will average 1S8 pounds,
stripped. With this weight, speedy ends,
a crack punter and place kicker, and the
advantage of home grounds the gladiators
of the lemon yellow should be able to
defeat the purple and gold team.
Latourette was hurt again Tuesday and
may not be able to play Saturday, in
which case his place will be filled by
Kuykendall.
Washington has been improving rapidly
and now has one of the strongest teams
in the history of the Seattle institution.
From tackle to tackle the team averages
over SfiO pounds and the backs are heavy
and speedy. The average weight of the
team is 1T8, giving her an advantage of
five pounds over the Oregon University.
Washington, like Oregon. is much
stronger on the defensive than on the
offensive and a scoreless game is more
than probable. The Washington players
are in better physical condition than the
Eugene boys, and have a number of
veterans in their line-up.
Last year the two teams played a tie
game, the score being 12 to 12 and both
aggregations are anxious to break the tie.
In addition to this, the game Saturday
will probably decide the championship.
With so much at stake both teams can
be depended on to put up a desperate
game.
Very few bets are being made, although
there is plenty of Oregon money in sight
around Portland. The odds are 10 to
7 that Washington will not win. in other
words that Oregon will do no worse than
play Washington a tie game.

BIG FOOTBALU GAMES SCHED-
VLED FOR SATURDAY.
have honed for would have been a score
less game. If this Is the case Oregon
should play rings around the "Farmers."
So far as Portland is concerned the big
game will be the annual Thanksgiving
contest against Oregon. Multnomah will
meet Seattle here New Tear's day.
Multnomah will meet Seattle at Seattle
on Christmas day. while a game will be
played between 6econd Multnomah and
The Dalles Columbias on Multnomah field
on that date. This game will be for the
secondary championship of the state and
promises to be bitterly contested. The
scholastic championship of Portland will
be settled Friday when Hill and Columbia
meet
Once again the bitter rivalry existing
between Michigan and Chicago promises
to crop out in the Pacific Northwest.
Since the announcement that Norcross,
former quarterback of Michigan, will play
with Seattle against Multnomah, it is
whlsnered around the club that Bezdek,
former fullback for Chicago, and present
coach, will don the moleskin In
mmoort of -. A. A. C. and two old
rivals will meet again.

The football season will be at its height

The fondest dream of "Hurry-TJp"
Tost is to be realized this year as the
Wolverine University is scheduled to meet
Pennsylvania Saturday. It has been his
one great desire to get a game with one
of the big Eastern colleges and yet his
dream has assumed the form of a night
mare, for ne will be compelled to meet
the uuakers with one of the weakest
teams ever turned out from Michigan. In
the palmier days of Hie Wolverines, when
the great Heston and other stars flour

however, and it will be no surprise to
hear of Michigan's defeat by the Uni

Since football has been abolished at
Stanford and Berkeley, the Pacific Coast
Is represented by the Pacific Northwest.
California has a few college teams but
they could not be corsidered In the race
for the championship of the Pacific Coast.
The Oregon-Washington game Saturday
should settle the championship of the
Coast. Of course Pullman and Whitman
are to be considered. Pullman can make
no claim to the championship because of
the small number of games played, while
Whitnan can claim no more than a
draw because of her scoreless game wltn
Washington.
Oregon Agricultural College Is not con
sidered seriously this season. Although

scoreless game the Farmers made a very
poor showing against The Dalles Club

T. r . Keener, w. iinngswortn. Will
Hadley. Earl Stanley and Ernest Belitz
were indicted for destroying the Wilson
River toll gate, but the case was dis
missed and the parties discharged on a
demurrer to the indictment. Judge

upon that ground even if the case had

Jury In Tillamook County would have
found the accused guilty for they are
setters on the Wilson River and there
is considerable sentiment against the local
company.
District Attorney J. H. McNary made
a second attempt to quash the 50-year
lease given to the Wilson River Road
Company yesterday in the Circuit Court,
but failed to get into court. He had filed
a second suit against the company to
set aside the lease In the name of
Tillamook County, and on a demurrer
Judge Burnett held that it should have
been brought in the name of the State.
One year ago Mr. McNary brought suit,
and was unable to get into court because
it was ruled he brought it In the wrong
way. He appealed and the case Is now
pending before the Supreme court.
FRED ADAMS PLEADS GUILTY

SEATTLE, Nov. 14. Fred Adams plead
ed guilty today to robbing the United
State Assay Office In Seattle and was
sentenced to ten years at hard labor in
the Federal Penitentiary at McNeil's
Island. He pleaded guilty to two counts
charging the theft of $35,000 worth of
gold dust. It is generally understood
that his thefts amounted to over $200,000.
BOYS CHANGE STORY
Plead Guilty to Manslaughter
in Court at Eugene.
SAXON SLEW OLD SOLDIER
Fifteen-Year-Old Boy Had Such Con.
trol Over Older Companion
That He Forced Him to
Shoulder Crime.
EUGENE. Or.. Nov. 14 (Special.) The
surprise of this term of the Circuit Court
came today, when Thomas Reeves and
Hugh Saxon, the boys accused or murder
ing Powell, the old soldier, at Cottage
Grove, withdrew their plea of not guilty
to murder In the second degree and plead
ed guilty to manslaughter. Friday at 10
A. M. is the time set by Judge Harris lor
the sentence.
From the time the boys were arrested
and brought here to Jail they have main
tained that it was the bullet from Reeves,
the older boy'e gun that killed the old
man. Today both boys admitted to the
Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney that It
was Saxon who did the work.
Saxon, who is only 15 years old, com
pelled his companion to admit the murder.
and from the day of the crime until to
day both boys had stuck to this story. It
will be remembered the old man said be
fore he died that it was the younger boy
who shot him, but as the crime was com
mitted about dusk it seemed plausible that
the old soldier may have been mistaken.
The explanation so far given for the
story as it has previously been given out
by the boys is that Saxon, while younger,
seemed the stronger willed of the two.
and, knowing of some lesser crime com
mitted by Reeves, threatened to expose
the latter unless he admitted that he
shot the victim.
The smaller boy's power over his com
panion has been remarkable. While main
taining that Reeves was guilty, Saxon
himself assumed an air that gained the
sympathy of the Jailors and those who
visited the boys. By the new story it
seems that both boys shot. Reeves' bullet
new wide of Its mark, but Saxon's aim
was sure.
Sunday evening. August 4. William
Powell, an old soldier and refugee from
San Francisco, who was making bis way
through the country by doing odd Jobs
at unending tinware, was shot and killed
by two boy tramps, while at work getting
his supper in his camp near Cottage
Grove. The old man lived about an hour
after being shot.
Powell's story was that the boys came
up, and demanded his supper, wuich was
coot..ng on the fire. He took them as
joking and laughed, whereupon the larger
boy reached for his gun. but the smaller
boy whipped out his pistol and shot the
old man, and both ran away down the
track without stopping to see what they
bad done.
The boys, after laying out in the brash
Sunday night and hiding in the woods
along the railroad during the day, were
captured Monday night near Dram, by
the Town Marshal. They were brought
back to Cottage Grove, where, in their
examination, they gave tneir names as
Thomas Reeves, aged 17, and Hugh Saxon,
aged 14. both having started out from
Portland to see the country. Wednesday
they were brought by Sheriff Fisk to
Eugene and placed in the Lane County
Jail to await trial.
Unmarried Rights Are Restored.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.)
Judge McBride today granted Charles
Hall a divorce from Hattle B. Clark. In
the text of the order granting the decree,
which was prepared by plaintiff's at
torney, Hall is "restored to all .of the
rights of an unmarried man."

Woodcock against Clackamas County to

MYRTLE POINT, Ore., Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) The development of the Coquille
Valley is greatly handicapped by the ad
vancing of the freight rates on the Coos
Bay Eastern Railroad, recently purchased
by the Southern Pacific Company. Rates
from Myrtle Point to Marshtield, a dis
tance of 25 miles, are said to be as high
as from Portland or San Francisco by
water to Marshfleld. Thus- tii outgoing
freight on produce is almost prohibitive.
Under existing conditions Coquille people
are compelled to pay twice as much
freight rates as the Coos Bay people.
As a result of this the Commercial
clubs of Bandon, Myrtle Point and Co
quille have held a meeting Jointly to con
sider matters relating to a campaign
against the existing exorbitant freight
rates. Several plans were made for get
ting a regular boat on a run from Port
land or San Francisco, to the mouth of
the Coquille. thus avoiding the Southern
Pacific freight rates. A committee of
six was appointed to Investigate the mat
ter and report at another meeting. The
committee will ascertain the depth of
water on the Coquille bar, the type of
vessel that will best meet demands, cost
of constructing the same, and other kin
