TTTE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. MARCH 7, 1908. 7 BAGPIPES WILL STIR THE BLOOD Scotch Arouse Interest in Soc cer Game With English Team This Afternoon. CONTEST AT 3:30 O'CLOCK Scotchmen Are Favorites In the Bet ting in View of Former Victory. This May Be the Last Game of the Season. An illustration of the progress associa tion football has made In Portland In the past 12 months is visible in the opinion of numerous local soccer "sharks," who aver that the teams selected thin ye"ar to represent England and Scotland in the annual international series are fully 50 per cent stronger than those which played the Internationals last year. Part of this Increase in strength has been pained by the arrival of new players, but much of It Is due to the Improved combination that developed among the men aa they became accustomed to one another. The newcomers have had. to be good to .win places and the following list of men on the two teams this year who were Dot on last season's roster shows how many classy players have come to Port land or have taken up the game inside the year: Bennett, Dick, Stevenson. Andrew Matthew. J. K. Mackle. Hanson, Lawrence and McNiclioIas. Of the re maining 14 men who will appear tomor row. Dean. Jago. Hughes and Short played little last year. Only about half the men are thus taken from the vet erans who were among the first associa tion boosters in Portland. The music of bagpipes will again stir the fighting blood of the Scotch this af ternoon. That the English will have a fife and drum band to offset the disliked music of their rivals is rumored. In view of the Scotch victory two weeks ago, betting is around 2 to 1 In -their favor. Kickoff will be at 3:30. at the league baseball grounds, with Mountz, formerly of San Francisco, refereeing. It may be the last game of the '07-'o8 season. Piti-hers John Anderson and Wake field. Brown thinks Boyle is one of the promising pitchers in the league. ALBAXY GIRLS CHAMPIONS College Bloomer Five Defeats the O. A. C. Invincible. ALBA XT, Or., March 6. (Special.) Bjr the decisive score of 14 to 6, the girls basketball team of the Albany High School won tonight from the hitherto un defeated girls of the Oregon Agricultural College. The victory came as a great surprise, and virtually gives Albany High School the championship of the state, as Albany has won the honors of the Wil lamette Valley High School Leasts and the O. A. C. has won all its games among the colleges. The game was one of the fastest and fiercest contests ever played in this city. For the first five minutes great defensive work prevented scoring and then Albany started whirlwind playing and rolled yp a 10-to-3 score on the surprised collegians in the first half. The playing was harder in the second half with a 4-to-3 score in Al pany's favor. Albany scored six field goals, while O. A. C. made only one, the other scores being made from the foul line. Thayer and Bending were Albany's t CAPTAIN" OP VARSITY TRACK 4 TKA.M HOLDS HIKULE t RECORD. MISCATIXKS AVI X A GAME Defeat Y. M. C. A. Basketball Five by a Very Narrow Margin. That the Muscatlnes are a somewhat overrated team was the general verdict last night, when after a hotly con gested basketball game they won from the Y. M C. A. by three points. It is possible that had the whistle been in the hands of a non-partisan a draw would have been played, more nearly expressing the merits of the teams. As a result of doubtful decisions on the part of the referee the local team was neglectful In markinpr lt men and at least three times sacrificed baskets in this respect. At the outset the Y. M. C. A. bade fair to win. rapidly putting up 8 points to a solitary foul throw made by their opponents. It was very noticeable that the MuKcatine men remained perfectly cool and left the association to do the Jiard running where possible. The first half was conspicuous for the star playing of Russell, a new ac quisition of the Y. M. C. A. Lurking tinder the basket he was responsible 1or several of the smartest baskets thrown, in particular making points out of a throw from the center of the field which would have been creditable to any player. Towards the latter end of the first half the superior training of the Muscatlnes showed as they drow lip to the lead held by the home team, finishing only a point behind, the score at the Interval being 17 to 16. With the resumption of play both it cams threw their hearts into the work, and scoring on both sides, while steady, was remarkably even. With the points 9-9 a call of two fouls at once on the ,Y. M. C. A., rightly deserved the hiss ing, which Physical Director Grllley at once suppressed. At the best, this was one of the -doubtful cases where the ( referee used his power rather unwisely. After this the home team threw away two baskets, allowing the visitors to obtain them with ease. Within a tew minutes, making a final rally. Port land scored again on a foul throw and a moment later the whistle blew with a second-half score of 14 to 10. Taken all in all it was one of the most exciting games seen in Portland for a long time and & big audience witnessed it. Williams in particular did well, but he was helped because all the team played up to him. and In this was one of the greatest secrets of the visitors' play. In foul throwing they did excellently, but with Hartman at the top of his form the difference in this respect was not very noticeable between the teams. Fisher, of the Muscatlnes, was referee. The Muscatlnes are ta be entertained tiy the members of the M. A. A. C. to morrow. The line-up of the teams was: TMrtland. Position.

In a hot game with Columbia Univer sity, the holders of the interscholastlc championship, the Y. M. C. A. second team on their own floor were beaten by the score of 37 to 32 last night. At the beginning of the game the Association boys opened strong, securing a strong lead. Pauch being mainly instrumental in this, securing 12 out of a total of IS points In the first half. Towards the end of the first half the schoolboys made things hum. finishing only a point be hind the leaders. The champions played a good game all around, while, though bright In spots, the Y. M. C. A. were decidedly weak in marking their men, at one time allowing six shots to be taken at the basket, each one in quick succession. Livingstone held the whistle. The line-up was: Y. M. C. A.

In last Wednesday's Oregonian the newe report referring to Canby, Or., and entitled "Reform Council Wrangles," contained a number of half-truths which, for the sake of the best Interests of Canby. ouffht to be supplemented by a fw facts not mentioned In the report. John Zeek, who resigned from the Coun cil, was not elected by the "reform" party, as Implied, but was a "hold-over" and up to January 1, ltM8, had been voting to maintain saloons in Canby. Last Fall, how ever, being aroused by the startling1 dis closure which followed In th wake of Charles Ktnzel's death, he changed his mind, and was strong In co-operation with the "re formers.' He was criticised and abused, not by the " "reformers" but by the whiskyltes" or "wet." who even went so far as to offer "boodle" money to bring him back to the "wet" side. He has told us that he refused this offer. The "wet councilmen "have caused most of the wrangle, having done all they could to defeat the will of the people. During the month of January, In the absence of some of the "reform" councilmen. they called a special session of the Council and by un manly trickery allowed a surveying bill which the reformers" had at the January meeting opposed on the ground that the survey was unauthorized, incorrect and Illegal. The "reformers" resented such trickery and the battle has been on ever since. Unfortunately, one of the four men elected to maintain a "dry" town has trained with the "wets" and has taken every sign of an excuse to side with them and defeat the will of the people. The city has spent much less money dur ing the last two months than It did in De cember. Tet, during the last administration veryllttle was spent for roads within the city limits proper or for general improve ments, and the Council refused to build sidewalks. 80 the Implication that while Canby had saloon such improvements were abundant, is unwarranted. Only a few of the business men "have grown tired of the whole matter." and they are on the "wet" side. Unless some one of the four men elected to oppose saloons here turns traitor. Canby will still be dry. .JktRS. PEARL IX)UJSE WEBER. Favors Statement No. t. Charles J.
