When this querr s uttered by the ref. eree at Multnomah Field this afternoon. and the captains the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Cluh and University of Oregon football alevens answer In the affirmative, the Aid-time gridiron rivals will commence their annual struggle for supremacy at tne great college game. Spokesmen for each eleven last night announced the teams as thoroughly fit for a grueling battle, and each team has Its host of supporters who are confident of victory. The 1'nlversity of Oregon team returnee to Portland yesterday at noon and during the afternoon worked out on Multnomah Field. Many of the club admirers attempted to gain access to the field to watch the Oregon boys at prac tice, but nearly all were denied admis sion. The few who were fortunate enough to witness the collegians at work were former Oregon men and therefore not under suspicion as having designs on learning Captain Moullen's signals. The varsity team Is full of confidence, and is prepared to go on Multnomah Field this afternoon Imbued with that old Oregon spirit and determined to make it three straight victories over the club men. In the last two meetings between the two elevens Oregon has been vic torious by close scores, and today's con test is expected to be equally close. Ore gon has the advantage of possessing two great kickers, while Multnomah can only boast of one. Bud James is the old reliable hooter to be relied upon by the clubmen, and he will do his best to hold his own with Dudley Clark this after noon. James is a good man at place kicking, but Captain Mnullen. of Ore con. Is the acknowledged premier in this department In the entire Facllie North west, and for that reason the husky Multnomah fullback will have his work cut out for him thas afternoon when he goes against two such clever men as are represented in the Oregon line-up. Coach Forbes Confident. Coach Forbes, of the I'niverslty of Ore gon, for the first time this season, ex pressed himself as confident of victory, lie is exceedingly pleased with the man ner In which the Oregon boys have re covered from the bruises of last Satur day's contest, and also on account of the splendid manner In which they worked out at Seaside during their sev eral days' Stay at the beach. Accord ing to the coach every one of the Oregon regulars will be in the line-up this aft ernoon and they will be In the game to win. A victory over Multnomah means a great deal to the collegians, for It will Instill the spirit of confidence In their ability, and make a splendid foundation for a successful team next year. Next year the Oregon team Is scheduled to lose only one man. Captain Moullen. who graduates at the end of this term and has served his allotted four years on the team- That he has done his work well Is known to all football followers, and when he leaves the team the varsity will be hard-pressed to sectire as valuable a man to asstime his position. Todav's game promises to see a record crowd on Multnomah Field, for the in terest in the match is much greater than even last Saturday, when all Northwest records for football crowds were broken. Fair 'Weather I Predicted. The gates will be thrown open at 1 o'clock and the game will start promptly at 1:30. R. X. Hoekenberry will officiate as referee in this game, while Oliver M. Cutts. of Seattle, will act as umpire. Hugh J Boyd will be field Judge. All these officials are the same men who Judged the Oregon-Corvallls game last Saturday, and whose work was all that could be asked. Admission to Grounds. In order to avoid confusion at this afternoon's game, the management an nounces that all tickets will be honored at the Chapman street gate, and while the Twentieth street entrances admit ticketholders direct to the grandstand. It will not he necessary to apply for ad mission at that entrance, general ad mission tickets will be honored only at the Chapman street gate. The. teams will line up as follows: Multnomah. Position.

The Llncola High School football team, of Seattle, passed through Port land yesterday afternoon on the way to Salem where the boys from Kl- liott Bay are scheduled to meet the Salem High School team this after noon. For some reason or other the Seattle lads do not appear anxious for a game with the Hill Military Academy team of this city. The Hill Cadets have won the Interscholastic .eague championship of Portland and are anxious to have a tllng at tne Seattle boys for the Pacific Northwest championship, but instead of meeting- Hill, the Seattle boys take on saiem, team that has been beaten by a Portland High School eleven which lad previously been defeated by the Cadets. When seen at the depot yesterday by Captain Graham, of the Hill team, the Seattle management would not dis cuss a game with the Hill team. After dodging the issue for a long time, the Seattle captain said his men would play Hill here next Saturday, but as the time is so short. It la not believed that a game will be scheduled for that day. The Hill team desires to meet Seattle in that city on Iiecember 6. and such a proposition was extended However, no definite agreement re sulted, and it may be possible that the Cadets will take the Seattle team on for this Saturday In order to get the game. The Hill players are Indignant at the stalling tactics of the Lincoln boys, and declare that Seattle is afraid to play them, for feaf- of sustaining a de feat. This charge ought to bring" the Seattle boys Into line immediately, and, as Hill is willing to agree to almost ny kind of a proposition. It seems likely that the two elevens will schedule a contest in the near future. Hunt Club Paper Chase Today. Fert Tongue, on his clever horse Oregon Kid. will endeavor to win for the third time the Portland Hunt Club's Thanksgiving Pay trophy in the open paper chase to be held this morn ing. Mr. Tongue has twice captured the coveted trophy and If he wins to day the cup will become his personal property. Several other of the Hunt Club riders are ambitious to defeat Tongue and keep the cup in competi tion for another year, and it is said that several of them stand a good chance of scoring. The start will be made from Kossmere at 10 o'clock and accommodations have been provided for spectators and the gallery. Championship Teams Tie. COLFAX. Wash.. Nov. l'5.t Special.)

Champion of Olympic T 4 Came SOCGEO IS GAINING GROUND ON COAST All-Pacific League Will Be Next. Development of the Association Game. HOT CONTEST FOR TODAY Xew Multnomah Team and Portland Rangers Will Line-up This Morning on League Base ball Grounds. When the crack picked team from the California Football Association comes north next April to meet the best that Portland. Tacoma. Seattle. Victoria. Van couver. Nanaimo and Ladysmith can put out, the games will demonstrate a good many things to an American public that his so far been a little slow to realize the merits and possibilities of soccer, but that is beginning this year to take to the game in a surprising way. The series with the Californians is expectco 10 snow tliat soccer can really draw good crowds, that the best northern teams, particular ly those of British Columbia, are not at all inferior to the veteran Californians. and that- soccer, played between two fine elevens, is as spectacular and exciting as Canadian ice hockey or Canadian la crosse. Soccer leagues are springing up all along the Coast. The two biggest are the Pa cific Coast Association Football League and the California Football Association. The former is in International affair, made up of picked teamts from Victoria, Vancouver. Seattle. Nanalmo and l-ady-smith. Nanaimo at present leads. There are eight teams in the senior organiza tion under the control of the California Football Association, hut 'the jurisdiction of that powerful body extends up the Sacramento Valley to Sacramento and over a new league of high echool teams. There are 1000 players on whose conduct it can pas. The game has spread all over Central California. Big British Columbia Body. In the secondary class of leagues comes the big British Columbia organization. which is so cumbrous it has been split Uito districts, the winners of which play off for the championship of the province. In the Vancouver and mainland district alone there are two dozen clubs. Nearly every small British Columbia town now ha a good team, recruited largely from Kastern Canadians and from young men arriving from Rngland and Scotland. A similar district organization exists on Vancouver Island, and the strong body of which Will Ellis, of Vancouver. Is sec retary, has Jurisdiction over many hun dred crack men. Another prominent secondary league Is the Northwestern, made up of four Seat tle clubs, one from Tacoma and one from Valley City. This league plays a lengthy season, which has just started. The tro phy is usually won by a Seattle club, though Tacoma got it two years ago. It ie interesting to note that the Scattles proved only one goal better than Port land United a year ago today, and the Seattles were the best in the Northwest ern League. Third in the grades of soccer leagues come the city organizations. Victoria has one of five teams. Seattle and Tacoma teams are all affiliated with the North western Football League. Portland has a five-team city league, and SpoKane, having three teams this year, will doubt less be sufficiently strong another year to have a city schedule. This being the material to draw from and an outline of the way It is lined up at present, the All-Pacific Coast League is the next step. Two years ago any one would have been laughed at who predict ed that a united coast league was possible within ten years. Kven last season, though mooted. It was regarded as vis ionary. First Step Toward Const League. But the coming tour of the Californians is the first step In the Immediate forma tion of a general Coast league. Of course, California teams will not come north constantly to play northern teams-distances are too great in the present state of soccer but there will be a big north ern and a big southern division, and the winners in each will play off annually for the championship of the trans-Rocky Mountain region. Portland will be invited into this organization when it first forms and the ability of the city to enter a team and to make cood H.. .!., i .. . showing this Winter In the game, the at tendance it draws after the competition of college football is out of the way and the showing made by the local players against California next Spring The Thanksgiving morning soccer game here will count in the state championship series and will be between Multnomah's new team and the Portland Rangers.

The Oregon Agricultural Colleca football team passed through Portland last nigni on Its way to Seattle, where the Aggies ate -scheduled to meet the I'niverslty of Washington team on Washington Held this afternoon. The Aggies, though crippled by illness and injuries, are lull of confidence and de termined to give the Washington huskies a hard battle. During the stay at Belcher's Mineral Springs, where the team has rested up since its game with Oregon last Saturday, the men have got in good condition for their hard contest. Cady. left end. and Keck, fullback, in last Saturday's game, are disabled and cannot get Into the game against Washington. The former sustained a sprained ankle and will not be able to play for some time, while the latter Is suffering from an attack of tonsilitis. In addition. Cooper and Hastings are suffering from lame arms and bruises to such an extent that they also may be unable to compete against Wash ington. Coach Norcross said last night: "This is not a hard-luck tale peddled just before a game, for we are going to try our hardest to beat Washington, and while the injuries may handicap ua somewhat, we will have no excus offer if we lose." Interest Xext In Basketball. As the end of the football season ap proaches the admirers of basketball are looking to that sport for their entertain ment after Thanksgiving. At Multno mah Club the Interest in the basketball team's practice work Is growing daily, and if hard. consistent work is the meas- , ure of success Captain Bellinger's stars are surely out for the state championship ' pennant. There are some strong teams to be reckoned with in this year s league, which consists of teams from Pacific Col lege. Dallas College. Willamette Univer sity. McMinnvllle College, Portland Y. M. C. A., and M. A. A. C. Oregon Agri cultural College was invited to enter the league, but for some reason neglected to respond, which is regretted by ail con cerned. The first game of the season will be Y. M. C. A. vs. Pacific College, on Friday. November 27, and on the evening following Pacific College plays M. A. A. C. at the club's gym. Whitman Expects to Win Today. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE. Pullman. Wash.. Nov? L'5. Everything is in readiness for the big Thanksgiving Day gridiron battle with Whitman Col lege. Coach Rheinschfld has worked his men to the limit to leave nothing undone in preparing for the game on which so much rests. According to reports. Whitman is com ing here confident of winning. HOT GAME ENDS IN TIE IRVIXGTOX AXD STEPHENS PLAY TO XO SCORE. Contest to Be Played Off Tomorrow. Winner Will Meet Shattuck for Championship. As a result of yesterday's scoreless game between Jrvington and Stephens schools, which was to have decided which was to meet Shattuck school for the championship in the light division the situation in the Grammar School League football schedule Is just as much of a mystery as It was before the two teams lined up. Had either team won yester day the result would have decided the winner In the first section of the light weight division and the lucky team would be the one to meet Shattuck on Multno mah Field tomorrow. Instead Stephens and Irvington will occupy the field and try conclusions again, with the hope of determining the better team. The game should be a hummer as the two teams are evenly matched in ability, although Stephens outweighs Irvington consider ably. yesterday's game was fiercely contested from start to finish with the advantage first In one's favor and then in another's. Each team, at different stages, was in position to score and .several drop-kicks were tried by both sides only to end in failure. But for the punting of Weaver and Floyd Kirkland's and Magins' fast work In getting down the field under .his kicks. Irvington would have been swamped by its heavier opponents. It was practically powerless to advance the ball on rushes and with the exception of an occasional gain around end by Mc Clung. Klrkland or Makins its plays were stopped by the Stephens' forwards with little lifficulty. Stephens' attack was more powerful than .its opponents but it lacked in the kicking game, to which Irvington owes its success in warding off an expected defeat. The first half was rather in Stephens favor as it had the wind at its back and was able to force the battle in Irvlngton's territory most of the time. At one stage Stephens got the ball on Irvlngton's 20 yard line but was unable to make their yardage. Elliott went back for a try at field goal but made a dismal failure of tho attempt, not booting the ball more than a few feet. An Irvington player fell on the ball and it was returned to the middle of the field on a kick. In the second half Irvington resorted to a punting game by means of which ft kept the upper, hand of its heavy op ponents and was nearly able to score. Stephens at no time during the half was dangerously near Irvlngton's goal, Kirk land's and Magins". work In getting down the field on Weaver's punts was the most brilliant playing of the game and resulted In recovering the ball for Irving ton on fumbles on several occasions. One such recovery gave the ball to Irvington on Stephens 25-yard line from which point Klrkland tried an unsuccessful drop. The ball was blocked but recovered by an Irvington player and the same play tried again with poor success. Besides Weaver, the Kirkland brothers and Magins. McClung and Stemler played good games for Irvington, while Morrow. De Temple. McLynn and Elliott starred for Stephens. The two teams play again tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock, on Multnomah Field.

Idaho. Nov. 25. The Univer sity of Idaho is certainly in bad odor with the local sportsmen because it has de manded a J5"0 guarantee for a game here Saturday. When the varsity got the Thanksgiving game with Utah at Salt Lake, the manager wrote to Howard Stein, an old Idaho man. to know If any body in Boise would play them on the way back. Stein got to work and has had an all-star aggregation chasing the pig skin by moonlight for three weeks. The unexpected demand for $500 has taken all the wind out of the movement and the game is oft. ' HEINRICH POSTS FORFEIT "Dutch Terror," of Spokane, Will Wrestle O'Connell Xext Thursday. Joe Heinrich, the "Dutch Terror," of Spokane, came through with his forfeit money yesterday and will be on hand to wrestle Ed O'Connell at Merrill's Hall next Thursday night. The two grapplers came to. terms ten 'days ago, but as it was stipulated in their agreement that Helnrica was to make 160 pounds, ring side, the wily Teuton would not put up his $100 bet until he was sure he could make the weight. The terms of the match, in addition to the weight requirement, are that the winner is to get all the gate receipts, the sirangie hold is barred and it is to ba t!:e beet two out of three falls. The match promises to be a better one than the "Strangler" Smith bout, because the strangle hold barred, O'Connell will not be in fear of that death grip all the time, and will take a chance to throw his man.

PORTLAND TO BE IN 10 LEAGUES Will Have Team in Coast and Another in Northwestern Next Season. M'CREDIE TELLS OF PLANS Says Casey Will Manage Beavers, While He Himself Will Handle I Club in Xorihern Body Fine Players Are Engaged. BT W. J. PETRAI. Walter McCredle Is back. The return of his serene highness for Walter reigned like a king among the hungry fans yes terday, would not have been attended by any commotion had it not been for the fact that he brought confirmation of the momentous news In circulation for sev eral weeks, and to the anxious two-team query Walter smilingly nodded yes to all comers. In fact he was in a most jovial and talkative disposition, probably due to the fact that he was glad to get back to Portland after a several weeks' so journ In the effete, though somewhat frigid East. "Yes." said Walter, beaming upon his questioners in the most patronizing man ner Jor a sovereign. "Portland will have two teams next year." A few minutes interwoven with more smiles and the dis pensing of a few glud hands elapsed, when the manager added: "And I guess I'll manage the Northwestern League team myself, for I. am sick and tired of the California bunch and the California crowds." The secret of it is that Walter does not like the California crowds any better than the California crowds like him. while in the Northwestern League he promises to become a popular favorite, for he will be one of the best ball tossers they ever had on the Lucas circuit. The admission of Portland into the Northwest League is a foregone conclu sion, for the only thing'remaining to ce ment the union will be the consent of the Northwestern League at the annual meeting, as well as the Pacific Coast League at Its meeting, and both organi zations are heartily in accord with the scheme, which means that the two-team proposition for this city is cinched. In addition to the formal announcement of the two-team, two-league proposition, Walter also gave out some exceedingly interesting news for fandom in general. Among the gladsome intelligence dis pensed by the double mogul was the fact that Portland is to receive four players from the Boston American League team, and a like number from Napoleon Lajoie, the pilot of the Cleveland American League club. Just who these players are Mac pleaded that he did not know, but that they would be good men. Wanning up like a prizefighter after receiving a couple of wallops. Mac waded in and came close to telling his right age, for he imparted enough information to keep the busy bugs gosslpping at a faster clip during the next couple of weeks than an old maid convention discussing the man question. Mac's first gun was to the effect that Pearl Casey would handle the reins of the Coast League team, and after Im parting this intelligence the manager went on to say that he would win the North west League pennant, and then wipe Casev's team off the map. However, the clever little second sacker and recently promoted manager, was in ear-shot and Immediately took issue with McCTedie. the result of which was a wager of a suit of clothes and a Thanksgiving dinner next year. From the spell delivered by Mogul Mac the following players will wear Portland uniforms in the two leagues: Pacific Coast League. Catchers Murray, Beaumont and Four- " pftchers Kinsella, Granev.

All these above players will be taken to the California training grounds, and will be divided Into two clubs practically as above, although Manager Casey will have his pick of both teams.

However, it Is assured that he has secured Curtis, who will make a good man for the Northwest League team. In fact. Curtis will prove one of the most valuable men on Manager Mc Credie's team, for he is a fair hitter In the Coast League and should improve in the class B circuit. In announcing yesterday that he would take oharge of the Northwestern .para Manager McCredle made the statement with the reservation that it depended vpon the consent of Judge McCredie, but, as his uncle Is known to favor that plan, it seems assured that the teams will be so guided and apportioned. Howev'er. in the event that McCredie takes the Pacific Coast team. Cooney will go with Casey to the Northwestern League. After McCredie's Players. Several clubs importuned Manager McCredle for several of his plaTcrs among whom were Ryan. Graney. Gar rett, Mullin, a new man, and Carson, the Tacoma wonder. But McCredie re fused absolutely to consider any propo sition to sell or trade any of his play ers, and to all he announced that he was on the buy and had nothing to dispose of. At the meeting of the Northwestern League next month the Butte fran chise will be formally transferred to Portland, and President Lucas will move his offices from Spokane to Portland, which will be the head quarters of the class B league. Manager McCredie also announced that the Chicago White Sox. who are scheduled to again train on the Coa-st. will visit Portland for a series here during the latter part of March or early April. This will be more defi nitely known when Manager Fielder Jones reaches Portland next week, for the famous White Sox leader will Win ter in Portland, and may possibly re tire from baseball and attend to his business here. Taking everything Into consideration these are busy times for the fans, and Walter McCredie may well wear the smile that adorns his countenance. Game at Salem Today. ' SALEM.' Or., Nov. 25.

Mason. 21 years of age, of Oregon City, was arrested last night by Patrolman Peterson in the Plaza block, at Park and Couch streets, for viola ting the "masher's" ordinance. L. G. King, an Americanized Japanese, who accompanied her was also taken into custody. The policeman found the pair indulging in sundry osculations in the shade of the park trees. The officer interrupted the lovers in the midst of a most tender avowal from the lips of King. The young woman explained that as her home was in Oregon City, she had no place in which to entertain her company in Portland except the public park, and told cho officer it was simply dreadful to ar rest her. Up until the time the last car left last night for Oregon City no one had called to bail her out. so she was compelled 10 spend the night In jail. King spent a portion of the night In a cell, but finally prevailed upon his employer to deposit $25 for his re lease. Both will be brought before the police Judge tomorrow.
