The game will prove just as '"'rest
In as was the recent Intercollegiate
contest, which drew the largest crowd
,vrr in attendance on a football game
In th- Pacific Northwest. The fact
that the Multnomah Club has erected
. stand the equal of which is not to be
f..und In the West has added renewed
interest to the athletic competitions
held In the stadium. It Is now a
i.lraure to watch a football game. for.
no matter how Inclement the weather,
the spectators are assured of com
fortable shelter, and are also assured
of a seat, which is a vast Improve
ment over the conditions existing In
previous years.
Both Teams Ready.
Both elevens are ready for the fray,
and each expects to win. Ijtst years
defeat suffered by the clubmen, which
was the second they had ever received
at the hands of the varsity players, has
stirred up - the old Multnomah spirit
to such an extent that each man who
goes on the field tomorrow will do h s
utmost to play the collegians off their
feet. I means that Multnomah wants
the game, and whenever the clubmen
want anvthlng. they usually get it.
Fo far this season Captain Stott and
his men have had a victorious career,
for they have won every game played.
Commencing with Willamette Univer
sity when Multnomah finished with
IS points to a cipher for the Salem
team. Captain Stott and his squad
have not stopped their winning streak,
and only once has their goal line been
crossed by the Whitman College
team. r
In all the games so far played Mult
nomah has put up good football, but
even that Is not of the kind It can be
depended upon to play when pitted
against C,oach Forbes and his speedy
and clever varsity team.
Save Had Fast Praetlces.
Fst practices every night has been
the rule. All of the members of the
quad have reported at each workout,
and each Individual player has given
an exhibition most flattering to the
management. So well have the club
men plaved In practice that a large
number of their admirers have made
wagers at odds of 6 to 4 that the club
will score over the varsity tomorrow.
Captain Stott. who is a host in him
self, expresses himself as well pleased
wllh the action of the team. He is
especially pleased with the work of
Viikington and Knudson. who are to
re played In the hackfleid. while the
performances of Slaker need no rec
ommendation. In the line. Oswald.
Jtader. Walker and Conant are doing
splendtd work, while Callahan, the
gritty little fellow who has been play
ing center. Is doing his work hero
ically. Callahan may not be required
to play the entire game tomorrow, for
fteorge Carlson, while still somewhat
lame, may be able to get In.
Captain Stott is not sure of the play
ers he will assign to the end positions,
although it is quite possible that
Smlthson will start the game at one
rue an.l. if George Alexander returns
to the city In time, he will take the
ether position. However, the club
eleven has O. P. Smith and McMlcken.
both excellent players, on which to de
pend in case of necessity.
.Ml Kntranees Open.
The I'nlversity of Oregon team con
tinues to practice at Seaside, and after
a workout at the beach resort today,
will come to Portland tonight for the
game tomorrow. Coach Forbes and
Manager McEwen have written from
Seaside that the boys are all In splen
did condition and are hopeful of suc
cess on Thursday. The record made
by the Oregon team of 1907. when the
varsity trailed the colors of the club
men in the dirt. Is an Incentive for
the Oregon eleven of 1908 to repeat
the performance. With that Idea In
view. It can be expected that Oregon
will assume the offensive at every
opportunit y.
The officials of the Multnomah Club
wish the announcement made that
both grandstand and general admis
sion tickets will be honored at the
Chapman-street gate. At last Satur
day's game some confusion existed at
the Twentieth-street entrance because
of the great rush to gain admittance.
Anticipating another such crowd, the
club wishes to handle It expeditiously
and therefore will admit all ticket
holders at the Chapman-street en
trance, while the Twentieth-street
gate will be for grandstand tickets
only. In addition, all three entrances
on the Twentieth-street sldo will be
drown open. Instead of only the one
used last Saturday.
The game will start promptly at
; :io o'clock and the officials will be
Oliver M. Cutts. of Seattle, and K. N.
Hov-kenbrrry. of Portland.

tackle, will not be able to play, his
knee is badly hurt and unless he recovers
more rapidly In the next two days than
he has been, he will be out of the game.
CLUBMEN FACE STIFF GAME
May Not Have Clean Slate of Vic
tories After Thanksgiving.
Although they have won four straight
games, lead the city soccer league by
four points and have had only one goal
scored against them this season, mem
bers of the Multnomah Club soccer team
are looking for a desperately fought
game when they meet the Portland
Rangers Thanksgiving morning. Should
things go against the club's soccer
squad this week. It may find Itself only
two points ahead of the runners-up by
Saturday night. This result would be
possible If the Rangers won Thursday
and the Colunrblas Saturday, the latter
playing the O. R. & N. on that date.
A meeting of the Portland Football
Association will be held, probably Tues
day night. December 1. to consider the
piotest of Manager Keith, of the
Rangers, of the game played with the
Cricketers last Saturday. Formal pro
test was received by the secretary yes

Excitement W ill Abound.
Everything is in readiness for the light
car race tomorrow. The tiny racing ma
chines will be sent away at half-minute
Intervals and. If all goes well, the last
of the IS should hardly be under way
before No. 1 comes swirling down the
home stretch in completion of the first
lap. Tlie unusually large number of laps
to the race and the short intervals sepa
rating the cars are expected to furnish
plenty of excitement to the thousands of
people gathered in the grandstands.
The only serious accidents of the
practice period for the racing her
have occurred to the light cars, and
there Is no little apprehension tonight
lest the more daring of the drivers
should send their frail little charges
along tomorrow at too great speed for
safety. There are but four turns on
the rectangular course, however, and
all are well banked. Six hundred
troops are to he thrown about the rac
ing roads, flagmen are to be stationed
at the shortest of intervals, and every
thing possible In the way of protection
of the course will be done.
Robertson Cannot Race,
With the light car race starting at 11
o'clock, the result should be known
shortly after 3 P. M. The exact dis
tance of the race is 196 miles. The
two absentees from the 17 starters
originally announced will be the
"American aristocrat." which did not
arrive, and the "Gregoire." a French
entrant, which George Robertson, the
winner of the Vanderbllt cup and the
Fairmont Park races this year, was to
have driven. Robertson did not receive
the car until yesterday, and found that
It could not be got Into condition to
make a proper showing.
The S. P. O. car, which crashed Into
trees and went completely through a
telephone pole last Saturday with
Mechanician Do Rosa, who was killed,
has been practically rebuilt since the

The rule closing the course to practice
was rescinded today by the Automobile

took advantage of the hour allowed to
them as exclusive occupants of the 10
mile rectangle. Later In the day nine
of the 20 entrants in the cup race went
out.
The Lojiier car. one of the American
team, had a narrow escape from total
wreck this morning when Mulford, a
mechanician, lost the road and took the
bark off a big oak tree. One wheel,
slightly dnmaged. was quickly replaced
and the car made several of Its fastest
laps this afternoon.
The speed honors of the day, however,

CHAMPIONS ARE SATISFIED
Albany's Manager Refuses to Worn
Over Chemana'9 Challenge.
ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 24. (Special.)
Ths published challenge of the Chemawa
Indian School, wanting a game with Al
bany College for the championship of the
non-conference colleges of Oregon, has
created considerable amusement at the
local college, in view of the fact that
Albany has already defeated Chemawa
this year, and the Indians were thus
eliminated from the race.
"I don't see where Chemawa has any
right to challenge for the champoinshlp."
said Manager Gibbons today. "We de
feated Chemawa once, and owing to the
shortness of the season, football sched
ules never contain a series of games
with any one team. One defeat elim
inates a team in any known league. The
Indians have played only two or three
games, while we have defeated several
teams, winning from the Indians decis
ively, and our right to the non-conference
honors has not been questioned by
any other team. The faculty of Albany
College requires that football end with
Thanksgiving."
Annual Paper-Chase.
The Portland Hunt Club will hold
Its regular annual open paper chase
for the Thanksgiving cup tomorrow
morning. The start will be made at
Rossmere. near the Sandy road, and the
riders are cautioned to be on hand at
10 o'clock, the hour named by the
Master of Hounds. An excellent trail
has been decided upon and the finish
will be at & point near the start, from
which an excellent view of the stretch
may be had by spectators.
Seattle Lads to Play at Salem.
SEATTLE. Nov. 24. (Special.) The

SPORT
URGE CHARTER PROVISIONS
United East Side Push Clubs Make
Various Recommendations.
At the meeting of the charter ad
visory committee of the United East
Side Push Clubs, last night at the Sar
gent Hotel. L. E. Rice presiding, the
most important action taken was to
Indorse a provision making the utility
provision of the charter- more certain
and clear. Judge M. G. Munly moved
that a provision be framed to empower
the City Council to Issue bonds to the
amount of J250.000 to acquire a public
utility, ard in case of great emergency
that the City Council be empowered to
issue bonds to whatever amount is re
quired without submitting the question
to the people. The motion was carried
unanlmouslj-. W. I Boise spoke ,in
favor of this provision.
Then the following provisions were
Indorsed: Empowering the city to buy
in and acquire title to property sold
for payment of benefits assessed in the
opening of streets; authorizing the
Council to create assessment districts
in the opening of main thoroughfares,
streets or boulevards, so that all prop
erty shall be assessed when benefits
accrue; to require all underground util
ities to be put in and connected with
the property-line before the pavement
of the street is put down; to require
the city to take over and maintain all
streets once improved with a concrete
base and hard-surface dressing, and en
abling the city to own a plant to make
such repairs, provide crushed rock and
other material, so it can construct as
well as repair all streets; to change
the method of laying water mains so
that district mains may be paid for by
district assessments, and the service
pipes in front of the property be paid
for out of the Income from the con
sumers. Chairman Rice was authorized to
present these provisions to the charter
revision commission.
CLARK MUST GO TO TEXAS
Gardiner Pastor Will Bo Tried in
South on Forgery Charge.
SALEM. Nov. 24. (Special.) Governor
Chamberlain today granted extradition
in the case of Rev. George C. Clark, who
is wanted in Throkmorten. Tex., to answer
to a charge of forgery, committed while
he was going under the name of George
C- Summers. Clark has been so positively
identified as Summers that the Governor
has no doubt of the Identity. Clark was a
Methodist preacher In Throckmorten In
1904 and in that year eloped with a girl
named Louise MaaSey. He left a wife
and three children. Coming to Oregon,
he secured a pulpit first at Wilderville
and later at Gardiner, at which latter
place he was preaching when arrested.
He has two children by his unlawful
wife.
After his arrest, he persisted In denying
that he is Summers, but said he knew
Summers In Texas and that he resembled
the man wanted. The Governor cross
questioned him regarding his past life
and then by telegraphing to several places
In the South and East found that he was
not telling the truth. When an officer
arrived today and positively identified
Clark as Summers, there was no hesi
tancy In granting extradition. The officer
has arranged to pay for the transporta
tion of Louise Massey back to her Texas
home.
It is said that for some time after Sum
mers' elopement he would have been
lynched If caught, but the Governor lias
been assured that excitement lias cooled
and that the man will be given a trial
as required by law.
GRANT COUNTY JOINS WETS
Supreme Court Decides Local Option
Election Invalid.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) The
failure of the Sheriff of Grant County to
post the required number of notices of
election within the time prescribed by
law was fatal to the "dry" movement in
Grant County. That county went "dry"
last June by a small majority. Guern
sey & Clark, saloonkeepers, brought suit
to enjoin the County Court from making
the order prohibiting the sale of liquors.
Circuit Judge George E. Davis decided
that the election was valid. In an opin
ion by Chief Justice Bean this decision
Is reversed. The local option law re
quires that five notices be posted in each
precinct 12 days before election. In one
precinct no notices were posted: in
another the notices were posted 11 days;
in another, only 10 days; while in another
only three notices were posted, and for
only eight days. The opinion says that
in a general election in which the date
and place and officers to be elected are
provided by law, a failure to post the
notices will not Invalidate the election.
But this rule does not apply when a vote
is to be taken upon the happening of a
condition precedent, or if some special
question is to be submitted. Concerning
the argument that no harm was done by
the failure to post notices, the court re
marks that the vote on the liquor ques
tion was less that the vote on county of
ficers and it cannot be known whether
a larger number of voters would have
gone to the polls had due notice of the
liquor election been given.

ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 24. (Special.)
Robbers cracked two safes in Lebanon

broke into the safes In the Southern Pa

BAIL MONEY SAVES TWO
Put l"p $200 and Escape Convic
tion for Vagrancy.
Just how men could be charged with
vagrancy when they were able to put
up $100 ball apiece for release pending
trial was a matter which Acting Muni
cipal Judge Seabrook could not under
stand yesterday morning, and he ac
cordingly released T. A. Robertson and
Hi Martin who were herded In among
the array of unkempt hobos In spite
of the fact that they were flush with
$100 bills and seemed mounted on the
crest of prosperity.
It was explained that Robertson and
Martin belong to the almost extinct
profession of card-sharpers and that
they had been found in a room which
