LAIR THOMPSON. UMPIRE. y AT LAST (Continued from First Page.) battle changed, they became an ava lanche of brawn and muscle. Desperately the sons of Multnomah tried to add another score. On defense it was no use to try against the students. The clubmen, grown old in football, tried every trick known to the game. L,oner gan, Fratt, Dolph, the veteran McMillan and the rest of Multnomah's eleven fought as they have never fought be fore, but the first half endpd with the ball in the center of the field. Time and again there were spectacular end runs, short, mighty plunges through the center, but In spite of all Multnomah could do the ball was kept In her terri tory. James was sorely handicapped, and while his punting was splendid for a time, the injury to his right leg made him leave the honor to Blanchard, who managed to hold his own during the first half. In the second half the story was differ ent. Moullen. who was off In his punting, , found himself, and this was the end of ; Multnomah's hopes. "Boot the ball" j must have been the word passed by the j coaches, and boot the ball Multnomah did. And but for that turdy right foot and that cool, clear head of this elon gated youngster there would have been no joy with the alumni and students of Oregon. Never did soldiers take the Held of battle with a greater determination to win than did those eleven Oregon men.

The pace became terrific and the compact of meeting bodies shook the very ground. Back and forth the teams fought, now trying end runs, now ex changing punts until finally the ball was on Multnomah's 23-yard line. Trayed-for Chance Comes to Moores. -Then came a chance for Moores, the fpeedy. In tills lad's fleetness lay the hopes of Oregon. The students prayed that he get his hands on a fumble or once be given a chance of a clear field. It came Around the clubmen's right end Moores slipped like a hound from a leash. One, two, three, four, five, six. even, eight, nine, ten, eleven yards he wiggled and wormed, dodged and ducked his way, with the entire Multnomah team after him in full cry like so many hungry wolves. On Multnomah's 12-yard' line Moores faltered and stepped out of bounds, but before the clubmen could tackle him he was on their five-yard line. Blanchard got him, but when they met It was like a head-on collision. Moores was knocked completely out and received an ugly gash on his head. Blanchard was also severely shaken up. Doctors worked on the plucky player, but the lips of the thousands of Oregon rooters, the welling cry of victory in sight was hushed, and their hearts cramped in the horror of fear. Anxiously they waited, but as they saw Moores rise, his face a smear of blood and his head swathed in bandages, the scream of delight was curdling. Then courage ously and calmly he wiped the blood out of his eyes and went back into the game. But fear Btill clung to Oregon, for now two of Oregon's players were seriously hurt. First It was Captain Chandler, who, In spite of a broken nose, played on to the end. Once the blood was out of Moores' eyes, Oregon was at Multnomah again. This time they were not to be denied. McKinney was sent through Multnomah for three yards, then Clark was tried and TO COM TO 0 1 f, ,Y made three more. By this time the ball was in front of Multnomah's goal posts and Moullen kicked between the posts. Now Multnomah's early score counted for naught. Once more the ball was put into play. Bishop, who went in when James had to quit, kicked 55 yards. Then followed a pretty exchange of punts in which Moullen showed how clearly he outclassed Mutnomah in this department of the game. By his series of great punts, Moullen kept Multnomah's goal in constant danger. Time and again Mult nomah braced, but the time was set on the clocks. Moullen booted the ball from Multnomah's fifty-yard line. It sailed up and to the right and, as If by some devil ish freakishness, the bounding oval dodged Blanchard and Oregon got the ball on the clubmen's 33-yard line. "Now for a place kick!" howled the yellow bedecked Oregon rooters, and they OREGON'S KECORD THIS YEAR. Oregon 10. Astoria 0. Oregon 111. Idaho 0. Oregon 4. vviilameUe 0. Oregon 1G, Washington C.

He tried the third time, and the ball, though it sailed true, sank down live yards short. The fourth attempt was blocked by Bishop, but before a Multnomah player could get possession of the ball, Moullen had fallen on it. Now it was the fifth time. It meant the game. People who a second before were howling like Der vishes stilled their clamor. A hush fell over the field. Everybody without know ing felt that the game was soon to end. The strain was terrible. Men and women clung to each other, as If waiting the calamity of death. Victory of Blood and Bruises. Carefully a little mound of sawdust was made and carefully Moullen measured the distance to the goal posts. Then the sig nal was given. Snap went the ball. Then there was a boof, and up shot the ball, turning end over end, but always sail ing with deadly accuracy towards and between the poles. Like a thing human the ball seemed to collapse, and it sank gently down on the spot -where victory lay. It took fighting, it took generalship, and it toqk brains to make that 8 to 4 score. It was a victory earned by blood and bruises, but it was cleanly and well earned. So splendid was the playing on both sides that it makes it difficult to give or take away credit. Blanchard, when he missed that punt, beat the ground in the agony of despair. Up to this time his playing had been faultless and his tackling was both sure and deadly. It was not a fluke, as some wish to call it. It was simply the fortunes of the game.

For Oregon, Moores, McKinney, Kuy kendall. Hug, Pinkham, who made a bril liant run, and Hammond, and, for that matter, every player on the team helped to earn the victory. The stars, of course, were Chandler, Moores and Moullen. It anything, Captain Chandler outgeneraled Multnomah, and the way he handled his team made the knowledge of Multno mah's veterans count for nothing. Lon ergan undoubtedly played the game of his football career. His return of punts was especially spectacular, and several times he made long gains around the ends. Kuykendall electrified the crowd by some clever runs. Clark and Zacha rias also did some pretty work. At cen ter Hug outplayed Keller and, time after THE MORNING OKEGON1AN. FRIDA', NOVEMBER 30, 1906. It""" J time, he broke through and downed Bishop, Dolph and Ionergan in their tracks. Keller had a bad knee and this bothered him greatly. When the whistle blew proclaiming the end of the game, bedlam broke loose. One old alumnus sat down unmindful of the .mud and ooze of the field and wept. Others cheered themselves speechless, and as the frenzied mob of screaming, howling thousands rushed pell-mell across the field, men and women, in their crazy joy, hugged and thump ed each other on the back. All of the bltteness that had' been engendered during the game vanished. People forgot that Multnomah had been penalized time almost without number for breaches of the rules. In receiving pen alties Multnomah was not alone, for Ore gon came in for her share of punishment. This was the only feature of the game that could be really criticised. FIRST HALF. Oregon Plainly Nervous at Outset, But Players Soon Brace Vp. Multnomah won the toss and kicked to Oregon. James booted the ball over Ore gon's goal line and the collegians kicked from their own 25-yard line. Multnomah could not gain and on the attempt to kick, James, who was suffering from a lame knee, kicked the ball straight in the air. Oregon recovered the ball. After two short line plunges Moullen sent a beauti ful high spiral punt down the Held to the club's 25-yard line. Blanchard ran in Ave yards. It was plainly noticeable that the varsity boys were nervous although they were putting up a great game. On the next down Lonergan got around Oregon's end for a long spectacular run and car ried the ball to the varsity's 3i-yard line. Eugene seemed to be in a trance but on the next down the halves woke up and played like fiends. James made three yards over tackle, Lonergan reeling off eight on the next play just outside tackle. Dolph carried the ball for three yards, each dn twi successive downs but on the next play half the Oregon line men broke through the club line, throwing Lonergan for a loss. A roar arose from the Oregon rooters as the collegians got the ball. Oregon could not gain and Moullen dropped back to punt. He sent a long high kick down the field but it went out of bounds on his own 35-yard line. Multnomah could not gain and punted. Clarke fumbled the ball on a sweeping end run the next down, a Multnomah player recovering it. It was Multnomah's ball on Oregon's 25-yard line and It began to look as though the locals would score. Two fierce line plunges were checked by Oregon without gain. James dropped back and made a neat place kick from Oregon's 25-yard line. Score: Multnomah 4. Oregon 0. It took just nine minutes for the clubmen to score. This was the last time that Multnomah had the ball in Ore gon territory for any .length of time. The manner in which Kugene was hold OREGON'S VICTORY POPULAR WITH GREAT, HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY CROWD THERE is one place in Portland where everyone smart set, plain so ciety, stay at homes, and even the ministers go; not because it is considered the proper thing'to do but just because they like it. And that, of course, is the Thanksgiving football game. Tear after year the big crowd gathers on the Mult nomah field, whether it be sunny or stormy weather. Tear after year they yell themselves hoarse over Multnomah's victory while the game Oregon boys and girls wave a brave good-bye and declare that another season the goal will be theirs. When they made good this boast yesterday afternoon the gridiron and grandstands were not large enough to hold the crowds, for they swelled to twice their natural size through sheer en thusiasm. The deafening roar of praise which went up front Oregon was well backed up by the Portlanders and the pip ing tones of women's voices made not a small portion of the grand choral. "Here's to the U. of O! May she ever grow!" Sang out a pretty girl wearing the red and white, while a gallant Oregon youth came right back with the rest of it: Here's to our sprouters. Here's to our shouters, ' Here's to the girls we have kissed!!! And then the whole crowd took it up and gave the boost of its life. It is a fact that all of Portland was glad that Oregon won especially her women fans. They fairly dote on Mult nomah's oft won honors, but it was get ting to be an old story and they have been secretly sympathizing with the Oregon boys for some time. Yesterday it all came out and they handed the visitors their justly won deserts right royally. They yell, ed with frantic enthusiasm, while the large contingent of young women wearing tho yellow chrysanthemums fairly embraced their heroes. Handsome women waved their pennants and ribbons, they tore off their flowers and tossed them to the vic WHEN OREGON'S GOAL WAS IN ing against such line plungers as Dolph, Lonergan and James, seemed to give them confidence and they went after Multnomah with the light of battle in their eyes. Hug tore through Kellar al most at will and had the Portland center looking like a school boy. Kellar how ever, has bad knees and is easily put out. Moullen booted the ball to Multnomah's 15-yard line, Blanchard running it in to the 25-yard line. Here Multnomah was penalized 15 yards for holding, which placed the ball dangerously near the club, men's goal line. James made a long punt to Kuykendall who ran the punt back to the clubmen's 35-yard line. Oregon could not gain.' Moullen dropped back for a place kick fr.om the 35-yard line but the ball went wide of the mark. Lonergan, who seemed to be every place and in every play, was on top of the ball in an instant and sprinting down the fipld. Three of Oregon's best tacklers missed him, but the massive MeKinney- overtook the flying Irishman and brought him down with a force that made the earth tremble. Lonergan got to Oregon's 45 yard line before being downed. Oregon seemed to be growing stronger every minute and was putting up a smashing game. Blanchard commenced to send the club's heavy backs into the line but almost every play was stopped before being fairly started. James punted to the varsity's 25-yard line, Clarke running back to the 40-yard line before being downed. Clarke made four yards on a line plunge but Moore failed to get loose on the next play, forcing Oregon to punt. Oregon was penalized five yards for holding and on the third down Moullen punted. Blanchard caught the ball and returned the kick. It was Oregon's ball in the center of the field. Moora got away on the next down for seven yards, but on the next play Clarke fumbled after making five yards. Multnomah got the ball on the fumble. On the next down James was thrown for a loss and on the second down punted to Clarke, who ran the ball to the center of the field before being downed. Moullen punted on the first down to the club's 30-yard line, where Blanchard was downed in his tracks. Lonergan reeled oft eight, but a Multnomah player had held and the clubmen were penalized 15 yards. James punted from his own 15-yard iine on the first down. On the club's 35 yard line Oregon failed on a forward pass and a brilliant chance to score was gone. Lonergan got loose on the next play but was stopped by the vicious McKinney without gain. On the next play Mult nomah fumbled the ball on her own 40 line. Horan plunged through the line on the next play and Oregon failed to gain. Moullen tried a place kick from the 40 yard line, but the kick fell short. The remainder of the half was taken up in punting, the honors between James and Moullen being about even. The playing was all in Multnomah territory, however. The first half ended with the ball in the center of the field in possession of Ore gon. Score Multnomah. 4; U. of O., 0. SECOND HALF. In the second half Bishop went in at torious players, and all went home quite satisfied glad that Multnomali and Ore gon were on a more equal footing than formerly. It is doubtful if anyone present enjoyed the splendid game more than Portland's grand old man. Judge George H. Wil liams, who never misses this occasion. He came early and watched each play in tently, while W. W. Cotton peered over his shoulder and argued the fine points with him. Across the field on the clubhouse bleachers sat the Governor of Oregon and his daughter; Father Hughes of St. Lawrence, Father McDevitt of the Cathe dral residence and several evangelical ministers stood in the lines and evinced keen enjoyment in the snappy plays. In a prominent position on the east ide of the gridiron Rt. Rev. Bishop Charles Scadding and Mrs. Scadding sat with a party of friends and saw their first Ore gon game of football, seeming thoroughly I to enjoy it. Just behind this party the rooters were making things lively, but no one seemed to mind it. Old Multnoman, we have coma, Just to put you on tha bum. declared an Oregon University husky through a megaphone, and as an echo came a response from a Multnomah Ath letic Association Club boy: Give 'em the ax! Give 'em the ax! Give 'em the ax! Where T Right In the neck! Right In the neck! Right in the neck! There! In the automobiles and carriages the guests stood up and joined in the gen eral rooting. Both colors were repre sented and the rivalry was good-natured. The J. Wesley Ladds and the Jack Kol Iocks were out in a carriage and seemed to get more real enjoyment out of the game than any other party present. Dave Honeyman had his machine out with Mrs. C. E. S- Wood. Miss Wood and Mr. Zan as guests. Another machine held Kd. Grelle, W. B. Mackay, Chester Mur phy and Billy Warrens. Harvey O'Bry an entertained his family and some guests in an automobile, and there were several other carriages, traps and con DANGER i left half, Dolph going to full. James was very lame and could not remain in the game. Pinkham, Oregon's freshman, took Hammond's position at left guard. A hoarse roar from thousands of voices greeted the Oregon players as they trot ted onto the field for the second half. Multnomah had been outplayed during the latter part of the first half and the hopes of Oregon rooters were high. Mc Kinney was lame but went in the game. Multnomah sympathizers expected great things of Bishop, but they were doomed to disappointment. Bishop was not in condition and had practiced very little with the team. Moullen kicked out of bounds on the first two attempts. On the third kick Multnomah got the ball on its ownr 25 yard line. Bishop made 5 yards on the tirst play. Oregon was penalized 5 yards for being off-side. The penalty was re peated on the next down. Blanchard sent a play into the line, but Arspinger got through the line and threw Lonergan for a 6-yard loss. Blanchard, who did the punting after James retired, from the game, booted the pigskin down the field. Clarke caught the ball and returned the kick. Lonergan got the ball and made a magnificent re turn of 15 yards. Chandler finally brought him to earth, but in doing so received a broken nose. The plucky Oregon cap tain remained in the game till near the close of the last half. Lonergan seemed to be a wizard in running in punts and it usually took from three to four men to tackle him. He was also hard to get off his feet on end runs. No player has ever been on Multnomah field who is his equal. Pink ham got through the line on the next down and stopped the play before it was fairly started. Blanchard punted to Clarke, and the Oregon half returned the kick. Lonergan caught the return punt on his own 35-yard line and ran in 15 yards before being downed. Bishop, how ever, held Moores and Multnomah was penalized 15 yards. It was Multnomah's ball on her own 20-yard line. Blanchard punted to Ore gon's 45-yard line and Clarke ran the ball In 5 yaijls before being downed. At this stage of the game Keller, who could not stand the gaff of the husky Hug, was taken out of the game. Hug con tinually broke through the line and ham mered Keller so hard and persistently that the once terrible Dutchman was groggy and unable" to continue the game. Carlson, who took Keller's place, put up a good game for a new man and deserves special mention. Moores Great Run. At this juncture the event which threw the Oregon rooters into a frenzy of de light happened. The speedy collegians had been hurling plays at Multnomah so fast that the clubmen were fairly dazed. Kuykendall, the nervy .little quarter, made a long quarterback kick and the speedy Moore gathered in the ball Like a flash he was plunging through the struggling mass, and before he was downed had made 15 yards. Before any one realized what had happened the ball was snapped ad Moores was circling Multnomah's loft end with the speed of an antelope. Player after player lunged veyances in the grounds, while a great number were not brought in at all. Sittlns- with the Bishop Scadding party were Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Lewis, Miss- Frances Lewis and the Alien lewises. Mr. and Mrs. Ned Ayer and the Misses Swith were together and Mr. and Mrs. Harry McCraken were with the Henry McCraken party. Dr. Josephi and Miss Joseph! .were Interested spectators, and near them in the lines were Mr. and Mrs. James McCraken, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas West, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Berlinger, Miss Benson, the Misses Hill, the Misses Weidler. Mrs. Warren (nee Smith), Miss Josephine Smith. Arnold Rothwell, Mr. and Mrs. Oppenhelmer, of Salem, E. T. C. Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Laid law, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Chlpman, W. K. Scott, Bob Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Riley, Mrs. Walter Reed and Miss Reed, Mrs. Charles B. Macrum. Mrs. Jerry Bronaugh, Mr. and Mrs. William Krull, Miss Krull, Harry Skuse, tho Misses Dosch. Mrs. John Cran, Dr. and Mrs. Rockey, Mr. and Mrs. Zera Snow, Dr. and Mrs. Pelgram, Adolpli Wolfe, Miss Wolfe, R. S. Howard, Henry Teal. Miss Genevieve Thompson, Miss Markham, Miss Ruth Teal, Mr. and Mrs. David Lewis. Mr." and Mrs. Hunt Lewis, the Misses Flanders, Miss Burns, Miss Dolph, Rob McCraken, H. O. Stickney, William H. Castleman, lone Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Leiter, Dr. and Mrs. De Witt Con nell, Douglas Crane, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Bauer, Mrs. Anne Beatrice Sheldon, and scores of other well-known Portlanders. Among the prominent people from Eu gene were Mayor and Mrs. Wilkins, Professor and Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Mc intosh, Mr. and Mrs. Kuykendall, Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks, the Misses Hend ricks, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Hardy, S. M. Friendly and daughters, Mrs. C. H. Tark, Miss Renshaw, Mrs. R. A. Booth, Judge Harris and . Judge Chrissman. There were great numbers of college students and the delegation was quite up to date on rooting for its heroes. When the long and interesting game came to a close the entire grandstand and gallery was a unit In the toast: "Here's to game old Oregon!" at the flying half-back and still he sped I onward. Several Multnomah players were stiff armed, and in an instant he was clear of the line of scrimmage, while his pursuers were left far behind. It began to dawn upon the immense crov.-d that the looked-for event had hap pened and the great Moores was loose. He was rlenr nf nil pyppnt Blanchard. Multnomah's quarter-back made a flying I tackle, and there was a sickening thud as the players came together. Blanchard sank unconscious to the ground, while a stream of blood spurted from Moores' head. He was downed on Multnomah's 5-yard line, but had ste-pped out of bounds on the 12-yard line. The ball was brought back and carried in. The flow of blood from the cut in Moores' head was finally checked and the gritty end went back in the game. It was Oregon's ball in the very shurtow of Multnomah's goal posts. Would Ore gon soore? Thousands of voices from all parts of the grounds pleaded with the Oregon boys to carry the ball over. Slow ly and deliberately plucky little Kuyken dall called the signals. . The rooting ceased and a grim silence settled over the field. McKinney plunged fiercely into the line and gained 4 yards. Multnomah was lighting desperately and her defense held like a stone wall. Clarke plowed over tackle for two yards more and a groan went up from the university adherents. The ball was squarely in front of the goal posts and Moullen. the famous place kicker, dropped back for a try at field goal. Kuydendall gave the signal, and the ball sailed straight into his hands. Oregon's line held like a stone wall while Moullen coolly and deliberately booted the pigskyi in squarely between the goal posts. Score Is Tied. The score was tied up hard and fast, and in addition Oregon was growing stronger every minute, while Multnoman was perceptibly weakening. As the ball sailed over the goal posts pandemonium broke loose. It was the first time in ten long years that Oregon had scored on Multnomah. Oregon had a yell a coming and the rooters responded nobly to the occasion. Moullen kicked to Mult nomah nnd in a few minutes of fast and fierce playing the hall was In Mult nomah's territory. Blanchard punted to Oregon's 20-yard line and from this point Moullen and Moores worked a neat dou ble pass for a 20-yard run and but for Bishop, Moores would have gotten away for a touchdown, as the field was clear. Oregon could not gain and punted, down ing Bishop In the center of the field. Pinkham broke through the line on the first attempt of Multnomah to advance the ball and threw Lonergan for a loss. Multnomah, after an exchange of punts and a long end run by Lonergan, at tempted a place kick from Oregon's 25 yard line. Zacharias broke through Mult nomah's defense, blocked the kick and fell on the ball. From this time on it became apparent that Multnomah's doom was sealed. A kicking game was commenced and soon the ball was In Multnomah's territory, wiih Oregon wadina; through the clubmen at will. Multnomah players seemed tired and lacked the ginger and snap of the varsity boys. Captain Chandler retired in favor of Hawley. From this on the battle was waged between the center of the field and Multnomah's goal. Time after time the clubmen would punt out of danger only to find the varsity boys plunging toward their goal line after a few downs. Moullen gained on every exchange of kicks, while Oregon's ends were on top of every play. After working the ball to the club's 25-yard line Moullen tried a place kick, but missed by about a foot. After a few exchanges of kicks Kuyk endall caught a punted ball and made a 30-yard run through the center of the clubmen. It was one of the best runs of the day and brought a storm of ap plause from the grandstand. After a .number of terrific line plunges and end runs by Moores, the ball was planted on Multnomah's 35-yard line. Here the club men took a brace and checked Oregon's whirlwind offense. Moullen made another try for goal, but the ball fell short. Multnomah was saved again btit after a few exchanges the speedy varsity team was again dangerously near Multnomah's goal line. Oregon Wins Game. The old gladiators, and winners of a hundred gridiron victories. ' fought hard to prevent their younger opponents from scoring, but in vain. Already Moullen had missed twice and had dropped back for another try from the 25-yard line. Multnomah players and sympathizers were fast loosing hope. Again the little Oregon quarter gave the signal and Hug passed the ball squarely Into his hands. Moullen booted the ball and It sailed over the goal posts for the second field goal and the game was won. Score, Uni versity of Oregon 8. Multnomah 4. As the Oregon rooters realized that victory was perched on the banner of Oregon, there was a scene never witnessed be fore on Multnomah field. Players, root ers, trainers and coaches surged on the field and danced and howled in maniacal glee. The great feat for which Oregon has fought so long was accomplished. ihe crimson and white of Multnomah was trailed in the mud. The remainder of the game was taken up in punting, with the honors all with Moullen. Weak. Weary, Waterr Eye Welcome Murine Eye Remedy. It soothes. It cures.

Multnomah Men for Clean, Hard Fight Put Vp Lose Like True Sportsmen. The opinion is virtually unanimous among local authorities on football that Oregon outplayed Multnomah in yester- . day's contest. "The better team won and I am proud of the great game put up by the boys," said Hugo Bezdek, Oregon's coach. "Every man was a star and I could not pick the best players. Owing to the efforts of Trainer Hayward the play, ers were in the pink of condition and this told in the second half. The Multnomah men played a hard, clean game from start to finish and they are game losers." "The first half was about an even break owing to our stage fright," said Captain Chandler, of Oregon. "The club had all the better of it till after the first field goal was scored, but from that time on we had it on them. Lonergan is a won derful player and the hardest man to tackle 1 have ever gone up against. It lias been said in the past that Multnomah could not be defeated on her own grounds and takes advantage of visiting teams. I wish to say that we were treated squarely and have no complaint to make. If all the colleges in Oregon would come up to Multnomah's standard of fairness there would be no trouble or ill feeling among the different colleges." Dr. Fred Zigler, who has been assisting Coach Bezdek. said: "Except in the first tew minutes of play, Oregon clearly had the better of the game. Every man on the team played his game and I cannot mention the stars. Some fear was felt by Oregon when the redoubtable Bishop went in the game, as he has a reputation, but I think that he was the weakest player on the team. His presence, if anything, help ed Oregon to win. Multnomah played a fair, clean game and I think tho canards about Multnomah's dirty playing and her alleged habit of taking advantage of visit ing teams will not be heard in t lie future." George McMillan, the old-time Mult nomah gladiator, had little to say other than that the better team won. "Lang end runs, fine physical condition, and fierce playing took the ginger out of Mult nomah. I have always feared Moullen's great kicking and It was this that de feated us," he said. "I am satisfied and think the entire team is," said Captain Jordan. "Of course I am disappointed at not winning, but If we have to lose I am glad Oregon is the victor. We did our best and iost and I congratulate Captain Chandler and his team." The prophetic Martin Pratt of Mult nomah strolled Into the dressing room with a badly discolored eye and gave out the following interview: "The kids from Oregon handed us a package all right. I feared as much when I saw them go after the Washington team. The better team won and I am mighty glad the youngsters were our first conquerors this season. For maiy years I have played against the Oregon University boys and have felt that Oregon must win some day. Oregon is far stronger than any team we have met so far this season and I think they should be hailed as undisputed champions of the Northwest." W. Lair Thompson, nf Albany, speaking of the game, said: "The game today was the best I have ever seen, and the first game I have seen Multnomah lose. I want to say that my opinion of the ath letic club team, formed during four years of successive victories, has been crystal, llzed by today's exhibition the clubmen are clean, gentlemanly players, and gra cious losers. To a man they have express ed themselves as satisfied with the result, and are glad that if they must lose, the victor should be Oregon. This denotes a spirit of good fellowship that is gratify ing. The game was the cleanest, hardest fought and most spectacular I have ever witnessed. It was everybody's game until the final whistle blew. If spectators were not satisfied with today's game the social athletic event of the season, they will never be satisfied. "The game was pulled off on time, there were no useless delays, and the crowd was in excellent humor. Oregon, having striven so long for victory, is justly jubi lant and may well be hailed champions." Why don't you try Carter's Little Liver Pills?
