THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, "WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1903. STEPHENS WINS SHATTUGK In Brilliant Game Succeeds in Piling Up 11 Points to Opponents' 0. CONTEST IS COMPROMISE Directors of League Decide Both Stephens and Irvington Must Meet Shattuck As Result of Garrre Uolladny Ceta Cup. The Shattuck and Stephens Grammar School football teams played a. game on Multnomah Field yesterday after noon which resulted In a victory for Stephens by the score of 11 to 0. The contest was. In a way. a compromise frame, for the winning- team had made three attempts to score over the Irv ington eleven, and failing in each, the directors of the league decided upon a compromise. whereby each eleven should meet Shattuck and a decision could be reached tn that manner. Irvington and Shattuck will play their game Thursday afternoon on Multnomah Field. Yesterday's decl clslon not only brings victory to the Stephens team, but It decides the win ner of the Robert 1 Stevens cup, for Stephen's victory over Shattuck gives the Holladay School team the honor of winning the sherrif's cup for one year. Next season the Holladay team will have to compete for the custody of the cup for another year. Yesterday's football game was as In teresting as thongh It were a regular senior team playing. The grandstand swarmed with rival coteries of little girls, who yelled and sang their cries in the effort to cheer both teams to victory. Each little miss wore her colors and endeavored to outdo her rival In her manner of delivering the school yelL Good I'ootball Played. Some few grownups assembled, but from their conduct, one would hardly have been able to pick them from among the "kiddles," yet the young sters playing managed to get through the game without being Inconvenienced by the rooting, and but little by the interference of the half-grown men on the sidelines. Chief Grltzmacher Is said to have agreed to detail several policemen properly to police the field and keep the anxions youngsters on the sidelines from enroaching upon the gridiron, but, about the time the game was half over, one lone officer made his appearance. The result was that the young players had consider able difficulty In pulling off end runs, for the crowd of boys present enroached upon the field at all times. De&plte the handicaps, both teams played fine football, and if the sympa thy of the crowd had had any weight, the lighter Shattuck players would have proven victorious. However, the splen iid football played by AIcLynn, Elliott. De Temple, Ruffner and Lancaster, of the Stephens school, was too much for the little chups. Some older players present on Multnomah Field yesterday were visibly impressed with the knowl edge of the game displayed by these youngsters, and Incidentally, they ricked several clever lads from among the little fellows on the losing team. Among the latter who showed brlliiant ,v were Roble Acton, the quarterback, foe Celestlne. Nick Bercovlch, Prldeaux. Junes and Hummell. Stephens Makes Touchdown. Trofessor Krohn and Professor Boyd, who refereed the gurae.

Hummel punted to Morrow, who. catching the ball on the run, on his :r-yard line, ran to the Shattuck 3-yard line. Elliott got through left tackle on the next play to the 15-yard line, but Mc Lynn was stopped for no gain on hi at tempt through center.

Hummell kicked and a Shattuck player recovered tha ball on a fumble on Stephens' 45 yard line. Another kick by Hummell and time was called for the first half. Steplens Begins Game Well. The second half began auspiciously for Stephens, when Lancaster recovered El liott's kickoff, which only went 12 yards. Elliott made five yards around the end. On tha next play McLynn received a cleverly executed delayed pass and ran ' to the 20-yard mark. McLynn made four yards on the next play and Elliott fol lowed it up by a pretty end run to the one-yard line. Stephens was penalized five yards for offside play on the next line-up, although Elliott succeeded in getting over the line for a touchdown. In two more attempts from the five-yard mark. Elliott succeeded In carrying the ball over for Stephens' second and last touchdown. He later kicked the goal, making the score 11-0 In Stephens' favor. Shattuck kicked to the 25-yard line and Elliott made eight yard on the first at tempt. Shattuck suffered a penalty of five yards for off -side play and King got three more yards on a tackle play. The forward pass successfully worked from Morrow to Elliott gained 15 yards for Stephens, but the next two attempts were stopped by Shattuck for no gain.

Seven yards were made by Prideaux on two attempts and Hummell' kicked to midfleld. where a Shattuck player got the' ball on a fumble.

Hummell went back for a try at drop kick after two attempts at gaining had failed. The pass was poor and he had no time to pick up the ball for a kick, so ha dodged the onrushlng Stephens for wards and circled right-end to the ten yard mark. Shattuck held for downs on its two-yard line, and Elliott again punted out The ball went out of bounds at tha 18-yard line and Hummell then tried a drop kick, which was blocked.

OREGON" AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE!, Corvallls, Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.) It was rather a badly crippled aggregation of football warriors that Coach Norcross gathered together tonight for the first practice since the Washington game. But while crippled In body, the men are un daunted in spirit and are determined to win back some of their lost laurels next Saturday when they meet the Multnomah Club team in Portland. From present Indications tha team will have to tight this last battle without the help of its gallant captain and three other regulars. Captain Wolff Is suffer ing with water on the knee, from which there-Is no chance of recovery in time for the game. Cady has a sprained ankle and it is probable that Jamleson. the big tackle, and Cooper will not be in the game. While the absence of these men will bo a terrific loss to the collegians. Coach Norcross hopes to put a team in the field which will make the heavy clubmen fight every minute of the game. Keck will be able to be In the game and will take care of the kicking end, so that In this particular the loss of Captain Wolff will not tie so severe. The players and the students feel that a victory over the club team will go far toward establishing the team In what they consider its. proper place in the North western football. For this reason, no ef forts will be spared to put the team in the best possible condition for the big game. The practice tonight was exceptionally fast. The teamwork was very good and there were ttmes when the men showed better form than they have exhibited at any time this season. The coaches ex pressed themselves as well satisfied with the practice. The final game of the class series will be played on the college campus Satur day between tha juniors and the fresh men. The contest is eliciting much. In terest. Tha first annual cross-country race will also be run. The winner will be rewarded by receiving a live turkey, the men getting second place, a goose, the one getting third place, a chicken and the last man to finish will be pre sented with an egg.

With Helnrtch outweighing him nearly 25 pounds, O'Connell is nerved for the struggle of his life tomorrow night. "It Is not that he weighs so much or that I am very likely to lose the money," said O'Con nell, but it makes me fighting tnad for tha fellow to agree to make 160 pounds and then try to sneak in on me at about 176. I never had that trick played upon me but once before and I am now glad that it was, because I owe my whole career to It. I was only 19 years old then and weighed about 132 pounds. I had worked up quite a reputation around my home town. In Massachusetts, and a weaver from a nearby city was to coma over and wrestle me for a 320 purse. "He agreed not to weigh over- 135 pounds. That purse looked as big to me then as $500 would now. I trained like a fiend and never saw my opponent until we met on the mat. He was as big as a whale and must have weighed nearly 150. I never did find out who was respon sible for slipping me that package, but It stirred me up so that I could hardly wait to get my hands on him. I got the first fall on him in three minutes, the second in seven and the third in ten more. "It was tha making of roe, for I had never discovered my speed until that fel low made me mad.
