(Special.) With a promts of clear weather at last and wttlj every Indication pointing to the largest crowd of visitors ti-.at has ever gathered tor an athletic contest at the unmon Agricultural C'oll-ae. Corvallis. both town and gown. Is football mad. In every store In the city notices are posted to the eff.-ct that no business will be done during the hours set tor the Oregon Agricultural College-University of Oreson game tomorrow. On the campus rests a huce pile of oll roaked material trathored by Industri ous freshmen, waiting for the torch to night which will light up the circling snake-dance of the hope-Inspired root ers of the collece; In the gymnasiurA tense and expectant. the squad of wearers of oranee listened this after noon to Coach Sohllrfmlller's last strat erlc Instruction, there Is no thought In Corvallis save of the chances for vic tory of Orange over Emerald tomor row. Practice Not Strenuous. Tractlce this afternoon, the last be fore the team trots out on the field to morrow afternoon to be greeted by the cheering throng, was short and by no me.in strenuous. But such, unfortu nately, has been the programme throughout the week. Since the vic tory over Whitman last Saturday, not a xrimnun lias been possible owing to tl.n water-lodged condition of the field which has been the recipient of a Mearty downpour of four days. With the clearing weather, today, however, the field has become harder and should the weather smile tomor row, the gridiron will be In a fair con dition for play. Its condition this aft ernoon was Improved by a llbefcil cov ering of straw but still the men slipped and slid as the signals were given the last thorough try-out and Coach Schlldmtller's "extra-special" combina tions, which have been perfected throughout the season with a view to use against the Emeralds, were run through In perfect form. Fair Weather Raise Hope. The promises of fair weather have cone far towards raising the hopes of the orange rooters to the pitch where they stood following the Whitman game last Saturday, and while the col lore as a whole could not be said to ex pect victory, there Is every bop for uch a consummation and the rooters are preparing to lend their last ounce of breath towards cheering the team on to victory. The football rally tonight, which will he illuminated by the greatest bonfire In the history ef the college, will be at tended by every student, by no means excepting the girls from Waldl Hall and led by the cadet band, the singing and yelling throng will parade the streets of Corvallis. returning to the campus later for a programme of speeches, songs and yells, calculated to arouse such enthusiasm as will coax the bird of victory, wllly-nllly. to perch en the Orange standard tomorrow aft trnooa. Big Crowd Expected. From Eugene Is expected a train load of supporter of the Emerald and from Portland and all points In and beyond the Willamette Valley, are ex pected crowds of Oregon Agricultural College alumni and supporters as well as the rooters for th University of Oregon. Indications are that the res taurants and eatln houses of Corvallis 111 do a land-office business and to take care of the overflow, numerous charitable and religious organixations are preparing to serve luncheons be fore and after the game. The sale of tickets for the game has been unpar alleled and tickets for the furthermost --nrm of th bleachers are now at a premium. The eleven on which Oregon Agri cultural College will pin Us faith to morrow afternoon will closely follow In lineup the predictions made throughout the season, and will contain but three veterans of last season. Cap tain Hawley. Keck and Reynolds, the little quarterback who has made such an enviable record this season. Orange Mill Be Outweighed. The left side of the line consisting of Kellog. who secured his earlier foot ball training at lloquiam. Wash.; May. who learned the game at Willamette and under Multnomah tutelage: and Sitton. will average 17 In weight, while the right side consisting of Huntley. Enberg and Tycer. will aver age but a pound heavier. Dunn. In the pivotal position, will tip the beam 'at 170. a weight which will be offset by the little general. Reynolds who will start the game at about lis. Tne back field trio of Captain Hawley. Hastings and Richardson will strike an average of 1st pounds. From end to end and throughout the backfleld. it Is estimated that the Ore gon Agricultural College aggregation will be outwelKhed by their opponents by some It pounds to a man. an ad vantage particularly Important on a wet field, and apparently almost Insur mountable. But despite this over whelming handicap and the list of uni versity victories In the past, the rooters of Oregon Agricultural College hope and believe, and await the kick-off to morrow. OX TO CORVALLIS," IS SLOGAN VnHerslty of Oregon Will Turn Out r'.n Masse for Today's Game. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON". Euvrne. Or Nor. 11. (Special.) The entire varsity football squad left tnis after noon for Albany, where It will re main over night, en route to Corvallis. the scene of the great Aggle"-Oregon game to be played Saturday. The team will be followed tomorrow morning by a special train of rooters. Gaudy posters with the Inscription. "On to CorveJ'.ls." which decorate the streets of Eugene depict the intense lntert -t that is being taken by th townspeople In th coming contest. As announced by Head Coach War ner, th lineup of the Oregon team aralnst the "Agxles" will be: Kellogg (174V center: Grout ttt). left guard: Fenton (1751. rmht a-uar-1: Weldiund 1I). l't tackle: Bailey t.'2:. right tackle: Michael (1601. left end: Jami son 17o. rleht end; Taylor, captain. ll). left half; Mala (174. right half; 'eV .' y .v-.,. varXTsT tU""innlu'oo. and Toklyn. the proper,, o. - Tl and Kappa Sigma fraternities, respectively. Latourette (152). quarter-back; Walk er (151). fullback. The team Is not at all confident of vlctoty. The coaches and every mem ber of the eleven expect the hardest game of th season. The team realises that It Is weaker than the farmers' team on th defense and feels that any well developed offense on their part will be rendered almost Impossible on a heavy field. It Is figured that the runtlng abil ities will be largely Instrumental In th outcome. Punting Is not Latourette s forte, though he Is rapidly developing Into th greatest quarter that Oregon has ever seen. He Is steady and con sistent In his kicking but It Is be lieved by all that he will be no match for Keck In the Kicking department. The hopes of the Oregon supporters will rest on the ability of Taylor and Latourette to run back the punts. It Is hoped that the lack of a great punter will be offset by th superior open field abilities of these great players. MCLTNOMAH SEEMS STRONGER Catholic Club, However, Has Hope of Winning Game Today. Multnomah gridiron warriors are ready for their gam with th Catholic Toung Men's Club, scheduled at the baseball grounds this afternoon, and the winged M athletes expect a hard tussle with th East Sid organisation.

Th Multnomah lineup looks stronger than ever for this game, as the winged M squad profited much by the experience It bad against Washington State Col lege a few days ago. Over at the Catholic club at Williams avenue and Stanton street, th East Side players have been trying to per fect as fast and as speedy a football machine as possible, for this club long has cherished a desire, to lower Mult nomah's colors.

Over half of the team Is more or less disabled and It Is quite likely that McDougal. who has been playing a fast end game, will b on the sidelines, because of Illness for th past week. Ward and Mill have both been sick since th gam with Whltworth. Because of th condition of th men and the heaviest rain of the season, there was) no practice last night. But this evening two teams were on th field do ing light work. The gamo with the Catholic Is the last gan.e of the season on the home field.

The Uni versity of Washington football squad, numbering 20. together with 60 stu dents of the Institution, departed last night for Spokane, wher the Univer sity of Washington meets the Washi Ington Stat College Saturday after noon at Recreation Park. The team Is In splendid condition, th week having passed without injury to th big Washlngtonlans. Dobie. feels that although the Washington farmers hava lost several games with colleges this year, they will give the Seattle 1 1 Y l 9 K " eaJ Bill - Hayward and the Beta Theta boys the hardest game of all of the colleges this year. Since the athletic breach between the colleges two years ago, the keenest of rivalry has been felt at the two In stitutions. The Interest has developed almost into Intense bitterness. Last year; both colleges had unbeaten rec ords, yet to come together for a final settlement was Impossible. Saturday, at Spokane, all of the old bitter feeling will come out and the past difficulties regarding championships will be set tled. . , , Washington is confident of winning. To them it is the crucial contest of the season. Doble expresses more satisfac tion regarding his warriors than at any other time in the season. The Washington men will be lighter by several pounds to the man than the Eastern farmers, but the fleet back field of the university Is expected to baffle the big "assies" Just as Idaho did several weeks ago. Washington s true strength away from home will de pend on this game. All games so far have been played on her own grounds. Washington win, atter mo v gam direct her attention to the Ore gon Agricultural College. This battle has In past years been one of Wash ington's hardest and from the recent showing of the Oregon "aggies." Wash ington will have a hard game on Thanksgiving day.

GAME FOLLOWED BY DANCE Home Team Plays Clever Game and Although Visitors Fight Hard, The? Cannot Score Coach Causes Unfavorable Talk. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Nov. 11. (Spe cial.) Not since the opening game of baseball a year ago this season and never in the history of football here, has such interest and enthusiasm been shown by Aberdeen citizens as was evinced this afternoon, by the specta tors who witnessed the Aberdeen High School's victory over the Lincoln High School of Portland by a score of 31 to 0. Butcher shops, grocers and many oth er stores were closed for the occasion. and the defeat by the locals of a team as strong as the Portland eleven is looked upon here as proof positive of Aberdeen's right to claim the Washing ton State championship. Victory for Aberdeen is due to the wonderful teamwork which Coach Sam uel Moyer has developed, together with the fact that Aberdeen scored In tho first few minutes of play, before Port land really got down to work, causing a temporary demoralization of the vis itors that proved fatal. Immediately following the first touch down, Aberdeen pulled off a fake for ward pass play that netted nearly 50 yards and from then on the Lincoln players wore plainly losers,v although they played a fast, snappy game to the last whistle and outweighed Aberdeen many pounds to the man. Tonight a reception and dance was given by the local students at the school gymnasium in honor of their Portland visitors. The hoys have won many friends here, but their coach se cured the enmity of Aberdeen by his conduct on the field and by his many remarks. During the game he Is said to have exclaimed in a loud voice, for the benefit of the side lines: "Well, we didn't expect a square deal, any way." STAR ATHLETE SIAY BE LOST Washington Students Hope Gish Will Not Have to Drill. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se attle, Wash., Nov. 11. (Special.) Un less Brailey Gish. the all-around North west athlete, who Is a sophomore at the university, can escape drill In the military department at this Institution, Washington may lose him. Gish Is working his way through col lege and cannot take military drill, as he is working In the King County courthouse every afternoon. If Gish can be excused. Washington will retain Its sterling champion, but if Captain Patten and the faculty see fit to com pel the big fellow to take the regular tactics, he will go to some Eastern college. At present. Gish must make up li drills or 24 hours. He says he cannot do this and the only thing for him to do is to discontinue his work here. Gish is the best-known track man on the Pacific Coast. Last year bis work at the Triangular contest at Cali fornia was one of the great factors which won for the University of Wash ington the championship.

Much depends upon the soccer foot tiall game this afternoon between the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and the Oceanics on the Catholic Young Men's Club Field. Should Multnomah lose or even be tied, as when the two team met before, all chance for the championship of Oregon, which has been held two successive years, will be lost. For that reason Multnomah will go into the game with Multnomah pluck and hope for the proverbial Multnomah luck. Individually the Oceanics are stronger than Multnomah, but its team work may not be quite so good.

WOLGAST WILL BE OUT MONTHS Fighter Will Not Fight Nelson Un til Next Spring. CHICAGO, Nov. 11. "If anybody has an Idea that Ad Wolgast will be seen in the ring inside of four or five months, he is mistaken," said Thomas Jones, manager for the lightweight champion yesterday. "Neither Wolgast nor I ever author ized Louis Blot, of San Francisco, to go ahead with a plan to fight December 24." said Jones. "We didn't know a thing about this scheme until we got the Chi cago papers. I told Nelson some time ago that he would be the one to get the first chance at Wolgast, and advised him that a battle in the early Spring would be to our liking. Then Wolgast's arm will be mended. I thought Nelson un derstood this perfectly and was willing to abide by it. "Why, it will be two or three weeks yet before Wolgast's arm Is out of th cast." Oregon City Meets Academy.
