Ready Multnomah? Ready Oregon?
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

Lincoln High Meets Salem Today
and Contest With Local Cham
pions May Follow.
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

that several of them stand a good
chance of scoring. The start will be

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

Aggies, though crippled by illness and
injuries, are lull of confidence and de
termined to give the Washington

the team has rested up since its game
with Oregon last Saturday, the men

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

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

Joe Heinrich, the "Dutch Terror," of

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

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.

ARREST LOVERS IN PARK
Flirtation With Japanese Iands Or
egon City Girl In Jail.
Maud C. 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.
