'OREGON HAS HIGH HOPES
Varsity Men Believe Thejr Have

feats Earlier In Season Fi
nal Practices Today.
I HV W J. I'ETKAIN.
f T!i foothill eleven of the University
of Orcsnn will arrive In Portland tonifrht
and the On'Ron Agricultural College team
will rt-a.-li the city tomorrow for
for the annunl football straiSKle for the
emta championship on Saturday after
noon. Today will witness the tinal prac
t'ers of the squad at Eugene and Cor
vnllls. After arrivnl In Portland the
t. ams wi.i rest up for the struggle.
Th "nte.it Saturday will he a gala
runt. both fOiTily and atliletically. for
already the majority of the reserved
5ta:s in the handsome new Multnomah
Club trrandstaml have been sold. 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. The defeat administered
Oregon last year, just at the time Kugene
was about to lay claim to the champion
ship of the Pacific Northwest, after hav
ing defeated Idaho and Washington,
stttt nnklm tn -the breast of the State
University students, and for that teason
alone Oregon Is determined to do her
utmost to turn the tables on the Agri
cultural College team. Taken all In all
tho coming affray promises to prove the
most spectacular football contest ever
held in this city.
Crack Punters to Meet.
One particular feature of Saturdays
great gam? will be the tight for punting
honors between two Portland boys. Dud
ley Clark, fullback of the University of
O'-epon team, was last year rated as the
premier, lor his splendid kicking ability
brought several victories to Eugene,
while the same ability on the part of
carl 'Wolff won him the captaincy of
the Oregon Agricultural College team,
and causes him to be reckoned with in
any game In which the Corvallls boys
compete. 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. They have officiated at practi
cally a I of the big Pacific Northwest
g-imcs In the last two years, and in ad
dition to handling Saturday's game they

STEPHENS LADS WIN
Down Williams-Avenue Team
in Grammar School League.
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.
Stephens' victory yesterday practical
ly cinches the leadership for the team
in its division. It having won four

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.

O. A. C. Putting on Finishing
Touches for Big Game.
CORVALLIS, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.)
Absolute secrecy shrouds the work of
O. A. 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.

for a sample bottle of your remedy,
stating that I had a case of psoriasis
of five years' standing. After trying it,
I ordered through my druggist, Mr. K.
P. Griffin, six bottles of your remedy.
I showed him how I was afflicted. The
disease had covered my limbs, part of
my body and began breaking out on my
face.
"I began using D. D. D. Prescription
according to your directions. Used five
bottles and was cured sound and well.
I showed my druggist again and he was
surprised. Said it looked almost like a
miracle to him.
"That has been almost a year ago'
and I sec no signs of its return. I
wanted to see whether it would come
back or not. before writing you my
everlasting thanks for such a great
remedy.
