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.

CRIPPLED TEAM COMING
CORVALLIS DETERMINED, HOW
EVER, TO WIX GAME.
Saturday's Contest With Multnomah
Club Last of Season for
College Eleven.
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.

O'COWELIi FEARS HANDICAP
OF NEARLY C5 POUNDS.
Multnomah AVrestlcr Expected to
Slake Struggle of His Life To
morrow Against He! n rich.
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. Murphy, the present
Pennsylvania trainer, was In the audience
that night. Through him I entered Tale
tha next year and have been developing
ever since,"
Helnrlch has refused to give statistics
on himself, but the following, which were
published when he was teaching wrest
ling at the Spokane Amateur Ath
letic Club, in 1908, are given with O'Coa

SAY STEPHENS IS OVER-WEIGHT
Shattuck. Refuses to Play Irvington .
Till Question Is Adjusted.
Captain Nicholas Bercovlch. of tha'
Shattuck Grammar School football team,
announced last night that his team would
not play the Irvington School team untll
the status of the Stephens School eleven
had been adjusted by weighing in at tha
weight called for In their class. Captain'
Bercovich stated that this decision was
the result of a mutual agreement between'
the members of his team and the Irving
ton team, both of which elevens claim
that Stephens Is overweight.
Irvington Is the team which has played
Stephens three tie games, and both teams'
believe they aro cntitlod to recognition
on account of the handicap they havn'
been under in being matched against
Stephens. The game between Shattuck
and Irvington has boon scheduled for to
