MuitnomatL.triumphd over Vancouver,
i B. C. In the Interclub matches of interna-
tlonal aspect held las night, at the gym
' rasium of the Multnomah Amateur Athlet
i Jr. Association, for the winged "M". dis-
I elples of boxing and wrestling proved
classier performers In each Interclub
' event than were the visitors from over
th Northern border.
The programme of event.- was another
triumph in t!ie matter or staging anrar
t're ni Interesting athletic events, for
every bout was a rattling good perform
. anoc and the big crowd, whioh eclipsed
! anv rjre.vlous assemblage at club affairs.
was keenly appreciative of the n?rtt of
' the bouts.
'Multnomah Makes Sweep.
Multnomah practically made a clean
' sweep, for the only defeat sufTered hy the
; winged "M" was the loss of the heavy
: weight wrestling contest, whtch. bow
i ever, was purely a local event insofar as
i K. B. Vinson. Multnomah's strenuous
1 grappler. lost to A. H. f teeples. the crack
' heavyweight of the Portland V. M. C. A.
In the other events Multnomah was trl
. umphant. winning all four interclub con
tents decisively.
Aside from the boxing bout between
Richie Hewitt and little Mcrrltt McCarl.
which was a return engagement between
these lads, the feature event was the
middleweight boxing bout between C. O.
Ralph, of the Multnomah Club, and A. K.
McGraw. of the Vancouver. B. C, Ath
letic Association.
Recently he has shown much improve
ment, but no one expected the speed and
ability displayed by him last night', for
the young fellow overwhelmed McGraw
bv such marvelous boxing ability that
the Vancouverlte was all hut out when
Jiis seconds tossed, up the sponge Just be
fore the gong sounded to conclude' the
second round.
McGraw is by no means a poor boxer,
for he displayed flashes of class when
lie had the opportunity. Ralph proved a
willing mixer. Right now he is In line
to become a champion among the ania'
teurs of the Northwest, and the Multno
mah Club will undoubtedly extend him
the opportunity of winning the title. He
deserves it. Ralph's performance simply
shows what a determined young fellow
can do if he applies himself.
Bantams Reverse Decisions.
The hantam battle between Merrltt
McCarl and Richie Hewitt simply re
versed the decision of their previous
meeting, when the former scored over
Hewitt in the second round during the
city championships. The return bout
prcved disastrous for McCarl. for the
little chap made the mistake of rush
ing Hewitt and trying to repeat his
previous performance. " and Hewitt,
having had more experience, simply
lay in wait for his opponent and suc
ceeded in scoring a clean knockout.
Ji that McCarl'p bulldog tactics had
their effect, for he had Hewitt plainly
worried. It was a rattling bout, and
neadwork and coolness alone won for
Hewitt.
The Hewitt-McCarl bout was the first
of the boxihg vents. and this whetted
the fans' appetites for the strenuous bout
between Ollie Dranga. of the Multnomah
Club, and Jack Lawler, of the Vancouver
Club. Lawler proved a foxy boxer, some
thing on the Ji Neill order, but Dranga
was easily his master. Lawler was plain
ly in distress in the third round, and it
was undoubtedly this aspect that caused
the Judges to give the decision to Dranga
without calling for the "customary extra
Tound. Ollie might have terminated the
bout before the third round had he not
been too strong in. his rushes.
The next bout nroved the only engage
ment in which the Vancouver boy had
a chance, for Jack Newcombe. the visit
ing Impound boxer, and E. E. Wilson.
Multnomah's entry at-that weight, were
even up at tne conclusion of the third
round, but the extra round called for
proved the undoing of the Vaneouverite.
Newcombe. wore a perpetual smile until
the extra round, for a straight left was
brought into connection with the visitor's
Jaw and while he was not knocked out
lie held on at every opportunity. At the
conclusion of the round the judges de
cided Wilson the winner.
In the wrestling bouts the surprise of
the night occurred when A. H. Steeples
defeated B. K. Vinson, Multnomah's deaf
mute grar-pler.
Strong Holds Broken.
Steeples, who lost the first fall to Vin
son, when the latter applied his favorite
and crushing body sciseors hold, came
hack strong and succeeded in breaking
this hold frequently In the next two
bouts, both of which he won. Vinson
won the first fall in 2:18, while Steeples
scored in the second in 1:30, while the
last bout went ten minutes before Stee
ples fastened a body scissors on Vinson,
and the Multnomah grappler was unable
to resist it successfully.- Steeples is a
heavyweight wrestler, while Vinson wres
tles in the middle-weight- as well as
heavyweight division.
W. J. Campbell, of the Vancouver CB.
C.) Athletic Association, the only wrestler
sent here by that club, proved a willing
fellow, as well as possessing considerable
class. Still Oscar Franske, Eddie O'Con
nell's clever pupil, proved his master by
winning two straight falls in a classy ex
hibition. Bert "Farrell. official spieler, announced
that the Catholic Young Men's Club
would, hold a boxing and wrestling tour
nament on December 5, and that the Mult
nomah Club entries would appear there
that night.

EAST SIDE LADS WIN
WASHINGTON' HIGH SECURES
CHAMPIONSHIP.
Columbia University Beaten In Bril
liant Game by Score of 5 to 0.
Trick Plays Abound.
By consistent use of straight football
and a number of well-executed forward
passes and on-side, kick plays. Washing
ton High School wrested the 19"8 inter-
scholastic football championship from
Columbia University by the score of 5
to 0 yesterday afternoon on the Multno
mah Club gridiron.
The game was spectacular, with fre
quent open plays used by both teams and
good work by the v ashington back field.
one thrilling play following another. It
was no walkaway for either team. At
times, when It seemed the Washington
lads were about to get away for touch
downs, the Columbian buckled down in
desperation and turned their line into a
ston wall.
It was1 the work of Jones, the Washing
ton right half.- that brought the only
touchdown of the game. He worked
like" a human catapult. Tearing around
the ends, he bowled over taoklers and
carried the ball repeatedly for gains of
from 6 to 30 yards. Given the ball sev
eral times in succession, he carried it
through the opposing players as if they
were so many dummies. The touchdown
was scored from the 17-yard line. .'
By "yesterday's, demonstration Jdnes
proved himself the star halfback of the
league. He has been kept in the back
ground this season because of injuries,
but yesterday, going into the game In
good condition, he easily stood out from
among the rest of the players.
The Washington back field, consisting
of Munly. weighing only 130 pounds, at
left half. Ed Leader at full andJones at
right half, was the strongest football
combination seen In Interscholastic cir
cles this season. These boys made large
and consistent gains on straight football,
executed their forward passes with fa
cility and played each other's interfer
ence effectively. Cornell was strong in
generallng his team , and In all-around
flaying. Aya. Kelleher and Perkins,
playing back for Columbia, performed
well, but were not In a class with their
opponents.
Both teams used forward passes and
on-side kicks frequently and effectively,
but there were also several failures on
attempted trick plays that resulted dis
astrously. The Columblas made practi
cally all their gains on open plays, and
In this department they outshone their
rivals. Washington mixed Its trick plays
with steady work in straight football and
covered more ground.
Both teams were penalized frequently
and nearly as much ground was lost as
was gained by each team. Most of the
penalties were due to uncompleted for
ward passes, but there were also sev
eral on account of off-sldo play. Wash
ington was penalized 15 yards on two
different occasions when apparently
about to score touchdowns.
Time was taken out frequently for in
juries to Columbia players and three
changes were necessary in., their line-up
on this account. The Washington line
up remained the same during the entire
performance and the team seemed to be
fresh at the end of the game.

O. A. C, Coach Forbes, of Oregon, in
stantly shoved Dudley Clarke, whom he
has been holding in: reserve on the side
lines. Into tha ' game. The mighty
offensive work of the big Oregon captain
seemed to thrill his men .into playing like
demons, and on the fourth play after

minutes later Clarke again wrenched his
injured ankle and had to leave the field.
Bill -Main taking Iris place.
Taylor Shoots Across Goal..
Oregon's second touchdown was made
with but two minutes to play, after the
ball had surged from . one end of the
field to the other In a magnificent punt
ing duel between Latourette and Wolff.
A forward pass by Wolff from the center
of the field was- Intercepted by Halfback
Taylor for a tO-yard run to O. A. C's 40
yard line. Latourette made a 30-yard
klcli.. which Hickaon recovered on the
6-yard line. On the first down, Taylor,
on a tackle buck, shot out of the scrim
mage and around the .left end for an
other touchdown. He kicked his own
goal.
The very last play of the game was
most sensational. With half a minute to
play. Wolff kicked off to Latourette, who
ran back 10 yards and returned the kick
while on the ruri. The leather fell
squarely' into Wolff's hands.
Last Play Is Spectacular.
He in turn, without a second's hesita
tion hooted it back. Oliver Huston, the
sprinter, who was finishing the game at
right end, caught it and ran 40 yaras
down the side of the field with the Ore
gon Interferers knocking off tacklers
right and left. Just as he had almost a
clear field for a touchdown, Huston
stumbled, and before he could ' recover
Wolff had downed him with aT flying
i.rkl. on O. A C's 40-yard line. The
game ended before the team could line
up again.
When the game was over, members of
h. nrprnn eleven and the rooters were
unable to withhold their enthusiasm. They
took Coach Forbes, to whose superb
coaching they attributed their success.
and carried him oft the neio on ineir
h,,i,irt if it had not been for the
many substitutes developed by the Ore
gon coach along the lines or tne iaie

by Michael, who did the punting; Scott,
Sullivan and Storie. Clarke later played
five minutes in the second half, and Main
went in when he was injured again, and
finished the game. O. A. C. was severely
handicapped by the injury to Keek's
ankle. In the first half this sterling
player put up a splendid all-around game.
and it was not until he was compelled in
the second half to quit the ame that
Oregon scored.
O. A. C." began the game by outplaying
the Oregon men and tearing through for
big yardage several times. Keck took
Michael's kickoff and returned it 25 yards.
On his first try he hit the Oregon line
for six yards and again for ten. A pen
alty forced him to punt, the kick being
blocked, but recovered by Keck, who then

Aggies made a great stand. Three
times the Oregon fullback plunged

ball within striking distance, only to
be obliged to punt. -

title to the Northwest championship.
The work of the Oregon men showed
vast improvement over their game

coaching, superior generalship, open

by Latourette were the main elements
of the Oregon victory. t

HARVARD-YALE CONTEST SETS
BOSTON OX EDGE.
Yale Slight Favorite In Betting, but
Harvard Line Aggressive Crip
ples All Recover.
BOSTON, Nov. 19. -Football fever is
epidemic in Boston tonight. The game
between Harvard and Tale the climax
of the season to be played in the Har
vard stadium tomorrow, is almost the
sole topic of conversation. The de
mand for seats has caused fabulous
prices to prevail.
Yale will be a slight favorite In the
betting. The supply of tickets has'
been limited to 38,000, the seating ca
pacity of the stadium. Ticket-holders,
with few exceptions, are either alumnf
or members of families of alumni. So
strict have been the rules governing
the issue of tickets, that the crowd
will be more thoroughly college than
ever before.
Reports from the two camps tonight
were optimistic. The injured list is
nearly wiped out. Captain Fish, of
Harvard, who received an injury to
the chest, was reported in good condi
tion. Each team is expected to un
cover spectacular plays with the old
fashioned line plunging, frequently
varied with forward passes and on
slde kicks. In this branch of the
game Tale is acknowledged to be su
perior to Harvard, as Coy can prob
ably outklck Minot. The Blue ends.
Kllpatrick and Savage, are faster than
L. D. Fmfth and Browne, of the Crim
son. Phllbin, "one of the Yale backs.
Is regarded -as a wonder in running
back punts.
But the Harvard line, from tackle
to tackle, is believed by close follow
ers of the game to be more aggressive
than that of Yale, while in line plung
ing Minot is held to be a more con
sistent gainer than any Tale back.
BROWN OFF FOR SOUTH

Brown spent several days in Portland,
during which time he worked out with
Gene Sullivan and "Jockey" Bennett, two
lighter men. who are to appear, before
the Rose City Club on November SO.
Bennett and Sullivan have shown con
siderable' speed and cleverness In the
workouts experienced thus far. Both are
clever youngsters and the boxing fans
expect to see a fine exhibition when
Sullivan and Bennett meet Eddie Cerf
and Freddie Couture, respectively, the
other San Francisco lads secured to give

WANTS TO STAY IN NORTH
"I Wasn't Much Surprised That Pa
cific Coast League Voted Out
Double Deal," Declares Port
land Club Manager. .
SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 19. (Special.)
"AH this is" new to me. I just got oft
the train at noon today and all I know
I saw in the papers today. I called up
Judge McCredie on the long-distance
phone and he said: 'Come on home quick;
there's trouble in camp.' I leave tonight."
said Walter McCredie, manager ot the
Portland Coast League team, today, who
is on his1 way home from the Memphis
meeting.
"I'm tired of California, and flad ex
pected and yet hope to manage a Port
land Northwestern League Club next
year.
"This country looks good to me and,
honestly. California is so rotten it even
chokes an old war-horse like me. You
can say for me that I'm with the North
westerners in this fight. I'd like to set
tle some old scores down there.
"I wasn't so much surprised that the
Coast League voted out-the double club
deal In Portland. It was tne only thing
thov rnnld rlo. Cal Ewing pulled off
the biggest 'boner" of his career when he
let the Northwestern League in there
this last year. They are afraid of the
Northwestern League now. It's just a
question of nerve.
"The Northwestern can win. if they go
into the battle right. Portland fans will
be with them now, where they might not
have been last Summer. The play has
come up just right and the Northwestern
League will never have another chance
aa good as this to grab the best baseball
city on the Pacific Coast, year in and
year out.
"The National Association Is so hope
ful of getting every baseball league in
the country under its thumb that it will
listen pretty carefully to the Northwest
ern League's claim if it thinks we really
mean fight up here, and I shouldn't be
surprised if they would interfere and help
bring the Coast to terms."

NEW TORK, Nov. 19. Because of
