Luck ily the management had foresight enough :o anticipate such a crowi. ami the tick ets have not been hogged by specula tes, for this contingency was provided for when the seats were placed on sale. From the present outlook the crowd on Multnomah Field on Saturday promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever wit nessed at an athletic sport in the Pa cific Northwest. A certain percentage of the reserved seats have been sent to Kugene -and Corvallir for disposal, while the remainder are being disposed of in Portland. Prepare to Handle Crowd. The managenent has employed com-r-ter.t ushers, who are now being drliled In the arrangement of the grandstand srats. It is desired to handle the large crowd as expeditiously as; possible, and all those holding grandstand seats are prqu.'sted to seek admission at the Twentieth-Street entrance, for only general admission tickets will bo recognized at the Chapman-street gate. At Kugene today will he witnessed one of the hardest practices ever indulged In by the varsity team. Gordon Moores. Jack Li-.tourette. "Weary". Bill Chandler. Heth Kerron. t-orge Hug. Olin Arn spiger and several other veteran Oregon Ji.vers have gone to Eugene to assist Coach Forhes In fierfecting the squad In the latest football formations. F.ir-h of the former Oregon players has proven himself a star at a particular position, and his efforts are to be used In perfect ing the members of the pres ent team in playing those positions suc cessfully. Oregon confidently expects to take re venge by defeating the "Aggies" this vear. or at least hold the Corvallls men to a tie game.

In Clark and Wolff Portland can boast of two of the greatest foot hid! players the Northwest has ever seen, both men having been born in this city. Another feature of Saturday's game is that the officials chosen for the occa sion are the very best football judges known in the Northwest. Oliver M. Cutis, of Seattle, who will act as ref eree, and R. N. Hockonberry. of Port land, are rated as the mist fair and impartial officials who ever Judged a g:une In this section of the country, linth men were foothrtll stars in their d-7V and are thoroughly i-onversant with the rul's of the game as it Is played t-vl.ty.

GAME PLAYED IN QUAGMIRE Rain Falls Steadily, and Spectators Crowd on Field, Interfering AVith Players AVinner Xow Leads in Own Division. Testerday"s game in the Grammar School League between the Williams avenue and Stephens teams was marred by the crowd of spectators flocking on the field and surging; around the play ers. The game was played In a down pour of rain on a muddy field, which materially worked to the advantage of the heavier Stephens team, which won eventualy by the score of 18 to 0. 'Williams avenue put up a scrappy game and did well, considering that they were greatlv outweighed. i . i 1.I.1.A4 nff and soon had possession of th ball on Williams ave nue's 2n-vard line. .111011, jncuymi and King alternated at carrying the ball for good gains until MeLynn was flnallv sent through center for the first touchdown. The try at this goal failed. Elliott scored the other touch down made In the rirsi nan nuer steady march down the field from the 45-y? rd line. The half, ended 1" to 0 In Stephens- favor. The crowd during the second half was so unruly that the play was more or less a farce, it being often difficult to distinguish between the runner and a spectator. Stephens seemed satisfied to punt most of the time in this half and its other score was made by De Temple picking up one of Elliott's punts and running for a touchdown. Kll-ott kicked the goal making the score 16 to " Hollister played a star game for the losers and showed a good knowledge of the proper way to play end. He was probably the most effective player on the Williams avenue team in stopping the rushes of the heavy Stephens backs and few runs were made around his wing Palm, at the other end played a good game as also did Nelson and Miller. MoLvnn. King. Morrow and He Temple excelled for Stephens and all the boys on the team showed good form for grammar achoor players.

DECIDING GONTEST VICTORY FOR HILL Cadets Win Interscholastic Championship by Beating East Side High. NO SCORE IN FIRST HALF Rader's Team Puts Vp Plucky Fight but Is Finally Swept Down Field by Superior Weight of Opponents. BT W. J. PETRAIX. The Hill Military Academy football team yesterday succeeded in winning the championship of the Interscholastic League by defeating the clever East Side High School eleven by the score of 6 to 0. The victory was earned, for the cadets were compelled to play football every minute in order to gain the ascendancy over the gritty but light team represent ing the East Side School. The cadets were picked to win easily, but the East Side team proved to be splendid mud larks, and had the better of their oppo nents in the first half of the game, which ended without a score. In this half Jones, of the East Side, out punted Donason and the little fellows -coached by Rev. Paul Rader carried the ball with as much success as did the ca dets. In fact, the playing of the Bast Side team during the first half led many to believe that Hill would be defeated. Weight Tells in End. The second half, however, told the tale. The Hill team goc together and played their game, as they had played it in the earlier contests of the season. For a time the East Side withstood the attacks of the heavier team and thereby caused their admirers to hope for a tie. The hope was blasted in a few minutes, for Hill finally got possession of the ball and started a ground-gaining march down the field that eventually resulted in a touchdown. The score was made in a scramble for the recovery of a fumble, and when Referee Moores finally extricated the players the ball-was found to be in pos session of Captain Graham of the Hill team, and rested just over the East Side goal line. The East Side players were Inclined to dispute the decision, contend ing that an East. Side player had posses sion of the ball.- Jones Punts Great Game. The game was spectacular in many in stances. The kicking of Jones outdid any of his past performances in this line, and he proved himself a valuable man. Especially after Hill had acquired the first score did Jones prove himself a fac tor. The cadets advanced the ball re peatedly toward the East Side goal, but each time the lighter team succeeded in blocking the advance when it became threatening, and Jones was called upon to kick. Most of his punts were good for gains, but in one or two instances Hughes made splendid returns. Quarterback Cornell, of the East Side, was the shining light of the game, prov ing the best ground-gainer on the team. Frequently he ran punts back almost to the kickoff. and in tackling on defense he seemed to have a faculty of being in the right place at the right time. The Leader twins, also distinguished them selves, as did Cason and Barzee. Captain Graham, of the Hill team, and his brother, S. Graham, were in the play every minute, and put up the best game of the season. Donason, the Hill lull back, while making several advantage ous gains, was not up to the standard he displayed in the earlier contests Don ason. however, can be excused because of an injury he sustained. Ford. Car ruthers and Jamieson also played foot ball worthy of especial mention. Hill's Title Is rndlsputed. The result gives Hill Academy the un disputed title to the Interscholastic League championship, having defeated each of the other four clubs in the league.

C.'s team in its final preparation for the great contest with the U. of O. next Saturday. The gates of the ath letic field were closed tonight and no one was permitted to approach the field during practice. Reports are that the practice was in every way satisfactory and that the team is rapidly rounding into shape for the contest. Dr. Steckle. its former coach, will arrive here to morrow from Goldendale, Wash., to as sist Coach Norcross in putting on tho finishing touches. Steckle will take charge of the line men and Norcross will devote his attention to the back field and the kicking. Wolfe, Keck and Enberg are receiving special coach ing on kicking field goals. Wolfe and Keck are working with the place-kick and Emberg is putting in his time at tempting to master the drop-kick. Coach Norcross refuses to say any thing about the game and the football men are equally silent. Judging from appearances, however, there is less confidence in the football camp than prevailed the first part of the week. The student body, on the other hand, is growing more confident every day that its team will be able to wrest vic tory from the University men. The cadet regiment has been devot ing every drill period during the week to practice In marching and fancy drills for use at Portland. The full regiment, wearing uniforms and carry ing college pennants, will appear in the parade to the grounds and in the dem onstrations which will take place on the field.
