for this afternoon the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club eleven is sched
uled to meet the husky youner gridiron
warriors of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege in the annual contest for supremacy
t the great college game.
The Oregon "Aggies" arrived in town
last night and are quartered at the Hotel

the O. A. C. student body will come to
Portland this morning to pit their lungs
egalnst the yell leaders of the winged
"M" contingent of admirers. It will be
the bLtrgest social event of the season,
for football and Thanksgiving Day seem
to be part and parcel of theannual fete.
JJultnomah for many years has cele
brated "Turkey Day" with a gridiron con
test of high merit, and the coming of the
Oregon Agricultural College this year
ireans that a game of more than passing
Interest will take place.
Multnomah Dreams of Victory.
Full of confidence and imbued with the
Idea that they possess the ability to beat
any college institution in the Northwest,
the Multnomah players retired last night
to dream of victory. Manager McMillan
and Captain Latourette drilled the club
men thoroughly last night. Each Is con
fident of victory today.
The Multnomah Club supporters will hot
on the noon train today for Portland.
Thev were accompanied by a large body
of rooters, and more rooters will follow
tomorrow morning.
The men were in good spirits as they
climbed Info thir car, and seemed con-
fident. Coach letzger wa8 the most opti
mistic of all and expressed -hlinrelf as
certain, of victory. lie said that
his hien were in better physical condition
than they had been all year and that
their experience in the two big conference
games had been valuable.
( The work last night was devoted to
practice in excuiinK new luniiiniuua.
The Ouaker coach has worked out a
series of playn which will make a marked
change in the style of offensive game
used in the college confers, and has1
also prepared a defense which promises
to be effective.
The men handle the new combinations
skillfully. Time and again in their work
last night they completed brilliant trick
plays with a degree of speed and ac
curacy which promise to furnish thrills.
It is probable-that both Carl Wolff and
Keck will be in the game. With Enbers
as the third member of the trio, the col
lege team will have an Exceptionally
havy. fast and experienced back tield.
"With two such wonderful kickers as
Wolff and Keck playing together, the
club men will have difficulty in seorhig
even if they prove themselves superior to
th Collegians In ground gaining. ,
Metzger has good substitutes for every
poeition and as this is the last game of the
season, he Intends to use the Hull strength
of his sauad. The team will open the
game with the following line-up:
Clark, right end; Loosely, right tackle:
NeUcn. right guard ; Dunn, center; Hawley,
left guard: Evenden. left tackle; Huntley.

The directors of the Pittsburg Expo

Interested as he could get together
through strenuous rehearsals' of songs

big turn out for the llnal yell practice
before the game.
Multnomah supporters will occupy the
south half of the grandstand. The Ore
son Agricultural College contingent will
have possession of the north half. Mult
nomah will bo supplied with 2"00 red and
white megaphones, and if possible the
rooters having the red megaphones and
the white will be arranged in alternate

J. S. McCord and Ralph Knight and the

Brown's Band will furnish music for the

Lively Hooting Promised.
The rooting of the Oregon Agricultural
College cadets in the game last year be
tween Oregon and Oregon Agricultural
College was the best ever heard in this
city, and it is erpected the collegians will
perform equally well this afternoon.
To the tuna of "My Wife's Gone to the
Country," the Multnomahs will sing the
following for one of tlielr songs:
A team came from the Country
Hooray! Hooray!
They'll make a mew. .
Oh what a Jest.
1 he way they try to play
We'll raise the devil with 't.m
lioorav! Hooray!
We don't care -what becom-.1 of them:
We'll beat them tods-.-.
As Multnomah roots, so will the
auporters of the Oregon Agricultural
College, for Manager Angell and Coach
Jletiger announced last night that a
thoroughly drilled cadet rooters' corps
would be in Portland this-morning, and
that these lusty-lunged individuals
ftpm the Corvallis institution would
take a keen Interest In the work of
cheerinz the "Aggies" on to victory.
Coach Metzger expects an "Aggy"
victory, for he figures his team, with
Fullback Walter Keck in first-class
shape, is better able to cope with the
speedy Multnomah team than any other
eleven O. A. C. has ever turned out.
"I believe O. A. C. will surely win
tomorrow," said Metzger last night,
"for I believe we have the better team.
"We have a better line than has Mult
nomah, and T firmly believe our back
field men to be the equal, if not superior
to. tle clubmen. Of course football
games between clubs practically evenly
matched are hard things to "dope out,'
and the result is hardly ever known
until the last half is over. Still. I be
lieve O. A. C. has the best team right
now that has ever been sent against
Multnomah fly the Corvallis institu
tion." Coach Metzger's enthusiasm is voiced
by all of the O. A. C. players, for Carl
Wolff. Captain Evenden. Enberg. Keck
and others expressed themselves as be
ing confident of a victory over Multno
mah. Some of the Multnomah admir
ers were present to listen to the O. A.
C. expressions of confidence, and Im
mediately took the opposite view of the
Issue. Wolff, Keck and Evenden will
positively be In the game this after
noon, according to the announcement of
Manager Angell. and the trio expressed
themselves as more than anxious to
play.
Aside from a slight lameness on the
part of Keck, the O. A. C. team is In
splendid shape, and Keck expresses
himself as confident of being able to
finish the game.
The members of the Oregon Agricul
tural College squad registered at the Ho
tel Oregon are: . S. Metzger. James
Evenden. Carl Wolff. Walter Keck. Oscar
Knberg, Charles Reynolds, Dunn, Hawley.

student body, announces that he will
have a reserved section of seats at the
Oregon Hotel this afternoon at 1 o'clock
for the purpose of supplying the members
of the Oregon Agricultural College alumni
and members of the student body.
The reserved seals will remain on sale
by the Columbian Optical Company, in
the Oregonian building, until 1 o'clock this
afternoon. Those who have not already
secured seats are urged to get them early
this morning and avoid the rush.
A bitter feeling that cropped out
when Jeff visited Pittsburg some time
since to do six rounds with his spar
ring partner, Sam Berger. has grown,
and this bout was the real cause of
Jeffries being turned down at this time.
Jeff and Berger agreed to box six
rounds before the people of Pittsburg
for a whole lot of money, but they cut
the time to one minute for each round.
Some of the directors of the Exposition
Society had paid $5 each to see that
bout, and they did not forget this when
they came to pass on the Jeffries appli
cation last night.
The fiasco Indulged in by Mike
Schreck here last night may result in
boxing being stopped in Pittsburg. ,
EUGENE HIGH AFTEH LAURELS

School Championship.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) The Eugene High
School football team, which has not been
defeated this season by a High School
eleven, and early in the year held the
heavy Oregon freshmen to an 18-to-0
score, will play the Salem High School
on McArthur Field here Thanksgiving
day.
If they win. the Eugene boys say they
will be entitled to the High School cham
pionship of the state. Inasmuch as the
Washington High School, of Portland,
has continually refused to play them.
Eugene showed that It outclassed most
of the Portland schools by beating the
Portland Academy eleven here by one
touchdown. A game had been scheduled
with the Washington High School, but
the Portlanders called it off. Manager
Nesmith's efforts to get another game
with t them have been unsuccessful,
though he has offered to play cither in
Portland or Eugene.
The Eugene High School team weighs
15o pounds to the man. and has had the
advantage of having been coached two
seasons by George Hug. the old Oregon
and All-Northwest center. The young
sters play fiercely and their teamwork is
good.

Clarke's Ankle Bad.
"Captain Clarke has a weak right

If he will be able to play the entire
game. It is his last game of' college
football, however, so he will surely start
the contest. Clarke is one of the best
punters in the West and if he has to
drop out It will weaken Oregon. But
Michael and Latourette are also good
kickers. Both of them can average about
40 yards, so, even if Clarke is disabled.
Oregon will not be helpless in the kick

Hard Game Assured.
Never has greater Interest been taken
in a Thanksgiving struggle In this sec
tion or have more efforts been made to
achieve victory. Working night and day.
bending to the task every energy that
they possess, coaches, managers and
teams have knuckled down to the work
with unusual fervor, while supporters
throughout the two states have pored
over the newspapers and ' compared the
two teams from day to day, awaiting
tne outcome of the decisive struggle.
Both coaches admit that the game will
be a hard one. and neither is confident
of success. In fact a note of anxiety
runs through the statements of both
tutors, and it is evident they are by no
means sure of how things are going to
turn out.
Luck Relied Upon.
Coach Doble describes the came as
being the hardest one that Washington
has had to play, and states that if Wash
ington wins it will be the greatest vic
tory In its annals. When one considers
the usual reticence of Washington's tall
coach, the Importance of the game is
realized from this statement.
Coach Forbes looks for luck 'to decide
the game. Many a championship game
has been won in just that wav. hut
whether or not tomorrow's strureie will
be determined by a fluke play or Irre
trievable error Is largely up to the fates.

THOMPSON HEADS FAIR
PORTLAND EXPOSITION DIREC
- TORS ELECT OFFICERS.
Most Encouraging On Hook Seen for
Big Show in 19 10 Car
Service Improved.
The directors of the Fortland Fair and
Livestock Exposition met yesterday aft
ernoon at the Commercial Club, discussed
plans for next year's show and elected
officers.
The following officers were elected:
President. E. L. Thompson (Hartman &
Thompson); vice-president. C. C. Colt
(Union Meat Company); treasurer. J. L.
Meier (Meier & Frank Company). The
election of a permanent secretary was
deferred till a later meeting. G. A.
Westgate was chosen to act as secretary
pro tem.
Some of the directors reported a most
encouraging outlook for a highly success
ful fair next year. It was reported the
sentiment of the merchants of the city
is favorable to a liberal financial sup
port of the next show. It was decided to
carry on the work of the organization
and make the livestock show and race
meeting of 1910 broad and representative.
Tom -Richardson, -W. P. Olds and Wil
liam McMurray were appointed a com
mittee on streetcar and railway trans
portation to arrange for suitable rates
and facilities in this respect. An effort
will be made to have the Montavilla
cars run to the grounds.
Following the expressed wish of the
livestock exhibitors at the last meeting
here and on account of weather condi
tions, it was the sense of the meeting
that earlier dates for the next show be
arranged, following the California State
Fair and immediately preceding the Ore
gon State Fair. ,
The merchants of the .city will be
asked to close their places of business
on the opening day of the fair next
year. Many of the merchants have al
ready expressed thtir willlness to honor
the day and It is thought the others
will fall in line.
An effort will be made to draw an at
tendance of at least 40,000 on the open
ing day. The attendance at the Minne
apolis fair last Fall on the first day was
90.000 and Portland should turn out at
least half that number.

MILLS PLAYS FOR MULTNOMAH
Old Center Forward in Place Again
to Save Teammates From Defeat.
Tidings that Sid Mills, Multnomah's
center forward on last year s soccer
team, is turning out again to help his
former teammates through the Thanks
giving game, has cheerad the drooping'
spirits of the clubmen, and the front
to be presented against the crack
Queen's Park team of Scotchmen will be
M. A. A. C.'s strongest. Mills is not in
good condition, but his presence has
always inspired the club forward line
with confidence. Young, who was to
have played center, will not go to out
side left.
Even with a good goal-getting line, the
Multnomah outlook is none too roseate.
The Queen's Park has 11 tricky veterans,
with far more experience than most of
the Multnomah men, practically as fast
and heavier. The wet grounds will also
help the Scotchmen's orthodox game.
Kickoff will be on the Vaughn-street
baseball grounds at 10:30, with Clark as
referee.
While supposed to be the stronger team,
the Cricketers are taking no chances on
their Thanksgiving afternoon schedule
at 2:30 against the Oceanics, bnt are trot
ting out their best lineup, which will be
slightly better than the one With which
they tied Queen's Park. This game, too,
will be on the baseball grounds. The
Cricketers have had the advantage of
possessing a Winter football ground of
their own, having under lease the bis
field of the Portland Cricket Club, on the
Montavilla carline. They have the heav
iest defense in the league.
Sick Man Discusses Baseball Situa
tion While Propped Up in Bed.
Will Seek City to Take Port
land's Place In League.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Nov. 24. (Spe
cial.) D. K. Dugdale. who is practically
the entire Northwest League, says that
it is up to McCredie to declare whether
the league will be an outlaw next season,
and as the Judge asserts that he will not
leave the Pacific Coast League, the mag
nates of the big organization can rest
easily. This willingness to leave things
to McCredie was the principal piece of
news that Dugdale had to give out today
as he Jay propped up In bed at a down
town hotel suffering with rheumatic
gout.
New Ground Will Cost $100,000.
"As a matter of fact, I do not know
what we will do in the Northwest next
year." said Dugdale. "and I will not
know what the situation is until I re
turn to Seattle and have a conference
with the entire club owners. I want to
get back as soon as I can, so we can plcx
out another city to take the place of
Portland. All I know of the conditions
is what I have read in the newspapers.
"I will say this, however. "that if Mc
Credie wants to join with us we will go
ahead and put a club into Portland and
beat the Coast League, too. It would
cost the Coast League $100,000 to put an
other team into Portland, $75,000 to go
for grounds and $25,000 for leveling the
ground. I know what I am talking
about, for I have gone around Portland
with McCredie looking for a new location.
Three Aplicatlons Are In.
"We did very well in the Northwest
this year with teams in Seattle, Portland,
Vancouver. Spokane, Tacoma and Aber
deen. Next year, If we continue in the
same way. we will need another city to
fill up Portland's place.
"We have already applications
from Butte, Everett and Belllngham, but
do not know which one will be selected.
'I have some trades on with both
Berry and Hogan and there may be some
changes made. I have been in' the East
for some weeks and have rather lost
track of Coast conditions. but'Will know
more when we have a meeting intwo or
three weeks."

generous way; and for this we are thankful.
This year, just closing, has been one of re
markable success.
Our prosperity has exceeded our fondest
expectations.
The present month of November has been
the greatest month in our history, and the

portions. Our stock has never been so complete and
we now have en route carloads of pianos to aid
us in supplying handsome Christmas presents
for Oregon homes.
We, therefore, desire to again express our
appreciation for the favors of the past ycar
and to invite your continued patronage.
Our polk- for the future will remain as
heretofore, "An Honest Piano at an Honest
Price."
Through strict adherence to the above pol

and we are grateful for the favor you have
bestowed upon us.
