DOBIE'S LINE IS STRONG Oregon Almost Sure to Bo Scored . Against by Whitman . In Bis Game October 10 Walla Walla Backs Fast. BT KOSCOE FAWCETT. When the football rulemakers de creed (our downs for, ten yards instead of three they bullded well and wisely. Already the benefits of the Innovation are being felt. Ifale was saved he humiliation of a tie score with Wes loyan a few days ago after carrying the ball down the Held to witnin tne ten-yard line. On three downs the oval lacked four yards of the goal, and then Captain Spalding found a hole and plugged through for a touchdown. The score was 10 to 3. It was the frequency of tie-score games that got football in so bad last season. The following list of scoreless -contests among high-class teams in 1911 shows not only an unnatural eveness in strength, but an unnatural balance between the oifense and the defense, giving the latter too great an advantage: - Yale 0, Harvard 0: Princeton 0, Navy 0: Indiana 0. Illinois 0; Ohio State 0, Oberlin 0; Alabama Tech. 0. Georgia 0; Alabama 0, Tech. (Ga.) 0. Football needed not only more fre quent scoring, but an equal adjust ment of the offensive and defensive powers. Apparently both effects have been accomplished. Coach Doble's preferred list of foot ball men at the University of Wash ington is not yet a certainty, but from the present lineup the "champs" are again to kick up a terrible fuss among the conference colleges. Coach Dobie has a veteran, beefy line of forwards and a heavy line is sure to be at a premium this year. With the forward pass under no re straint of distance, the defensive backs this Fall will likely be stationed so far back and to the side as to be able to come up and stop rushes through the line short of the gain needed to make ten yards In four downs. This Is bound to place a heavy responsibility on the forwards, and that is why a heavy, brawny line will have a chance to shine as in the days of "Pudge" Heffelflnger and Glass. On the line Doble Is well fortified. At ends he has Sutton. Clark and Ab bott; at tackles. Patten and Bliss, the 1911 bulwarks; Gallagher, a 190-pound Spokane star, and Hunt, of North Yak ima; at guards, Bruce, Devine, Hardy and Captain Griffiths; at center, Pres ley and B. Griffiths. This veteran line practically insures the Washingtonlans against consistent scoring by the op position, except by strategy, so Doble's chief concern centers Itself in his back field. In Shiel and Dorman, halfbacks, and Jacquot. fullback, he has a backfleld trio that will fight like Kilkenny kit tens, but it Is hardly likely that he will be able to develop the scoring ma chine that piled up the tremendous to tals of 1911. Mucklestone, Wand and Sparger were wonderful plungers and will be hard to replace In one season, yet the additional offensive powers be queathed by the new rules will un doubtedly add to the efficiency of any backfleld on the offense. Dobie can count himself extremely lucky in having with him his veteran forwards. , The same holds true of the University of Oregon, which meets Whitman College In the first big game October 19 at Walla Walla. Coach Hahn's men will be almost sure to cross the Oregon goal line, but the Eugene backfleld should be able to rip through the Whitman line much more consistently. Whitman possesses a wonderful backfleld quartet, but It Is not thought that the forwards will be able to check the lemon-yellow backs In time to prevent gains of two and one-half yards at a clip. Talbor Pendleton, captain of the Princeton football eleven, sprinter and for two seasons the baseball outfielder, is slated to sign a contract this Fall with the New York Americans. Char He Sterrett, the Yankee player secured from Princeton, says Pendleton is the fastest man in baseball. He Insists that he can go down to first base three feet faster than the renowned Tyrus Cobb. Pendleton has never been a member of the Tiger track team, because the rules there bar participation in more than two branches of sport. He pre fers football and baseball. , Sometime within the next fortnight a meeting of football coaches, players and officials will likely be called to meet in Portland to rake over the new football rules. The revised code is remarkably clear of conflicts this Fall, but there will always be misunder standings and technicalities as long as football Is played, and an Informal, discussion and clarification should prove of much benefit to the younger coaches and players. KL A WITTER' S SUCCESS GREAT Portland Twirler Beats Angels Six Times Without Defeat. Klawltter, the Portland righthander. has had wonderful success against both the Los Angeles and the Sacramento clubs this year. Statistics up to yester day's game show that Klawltter has beaten Los Angeles six times without a defeat and has won nine games in 10 from the Senators. Abies had been the elder Oakland Jinx for the Beavers up to the Wednesday game, but won his first game of the year from Sacramento last week. Vernon, too. has almost an even break with the big southpaw, winning six of 13 games. Higginbotham has exercised an uncanny influence over the Seals. having won four games out of five starts. Pitching figures of the Oaks and and' Beavers clubs. Including yester day's game, are as follows; EVELYN W. SETS FTVE-HEAT MARK AT COLUMBUS. met stubborn opposition and the race was not finished.

CHANCE SELLS HIS HOIDIXGS Chicago Leader Says He Will Man- age Cubs or Some Team in 1913 CHICAGO. Oct. 3. Frank L. Chance, manager of the Chicago National League baseball club, said today he had sold today his stock In the Cubs to Harry A. Carland, of Pittsburg. Chance refused to say what he got for his holdings, but said he did not lose any money on the deal. His holdings of the Chicago stock amounted to about 10 -per cent of the total and Chance has said he consid ered the securities worth $80,000. Chance denied that he intended to sever his connection with the Cubs. "I expect to stay right here and manage the team, ' he said. "I am still manager and fully ex pect to remain so next season. I have satisfactory reasons for believing I am to be retained in that position." Chance said, however, that if he did not manage the Cubs he would manage some other team.

DOYLE SPIKED, FANS WORRY i Injury to Giants' Captain Is Not Serious Team in Good Shape. NEW YORK, Oct. S. Larry Doyle was spiked In the Giants' game with Brooklyn today and followers of the National League champions were on the anxious seat at once, fearing the injury might be serious enough to keep the dashing captain of the Giants out of the world's series. . It was soon learned, however, that the spiking was a slight affair and that Doyle would not be Incapacitated. Manager McGraw had his regular line-up on the field today and the team with Colt pitchers in the box. except at the finish, won the game from Brooklyn. The only veteran of last year's world's series missing was De vore. Burns played left field. The Giants showed better form today than in most of their games this week, playing a steady game, but as a whole did little at the bat against Rucker. Murray and Herzog, however, showed effectively with the stick. CLUB MEMBERS HAVE SMOKER Splendid Porgramme at Multnomah Enjoyed by More Than 500.

FURNACE FOUND INTACT REPORTED EXPLOSION AT HAW THORNE SCHOOL DOUBTED. Board Decides to Move Boilern in Building to New Room to Re Constructed on Grounds. Although several hundred children are reported to have heard and felt an exnloslon of a furnace in the Haw thorne School building on the East Side last -Monday, experts have been unable to find any trace of damage or marks In any of the boilers to show that an explosion actually took place. At meeting of the Board of Education yes terday, the explosion question was brought up and an Investigation made. Reports were received from IS. J. iiao ley. principal, and D. J. Phillips, who investigated the boilers, and both re ported that nothing was found to indi cate that there had been an explosion It was suggested that the explosion might have been caused by the bursting of .an automobile tire In the neighbor hood. The Board voted unanimously yester day to adopt a plan to move the boilers from the Hawthorne building to a new boiler-room to be built on the Haw thorne grounds. Bids will be advertised for at once. It is planned to erect the building first, then move one set of boilers into the building, leaving the other set intact, so that there will be no need of discontinuing school while the work is going on. After much argument the Board yes terday granted the Woodrow Wilson Club permission to use the assembly hall of the Lincoln High School. Octo ber 8, for a political meeting. The ar gument arose, when it was reported by those in charge of the Washington High School, that the assembly hall there was littered with cigar and cigarette stumps and the floor was smeared with to bacco stain as a result of last week's Bull Moose convention. Several mem bers of the Board were In favor of de nying the use of school for political meetings In the future. This position was taken because the Bull Moosers had promised that there would be no smok ing In the Washington building during the convention. The Board adopted a plan, started by the City Park Board, for the estab lishment of a school for playground in structors. The plan will be worked out by Park Superintendent Mische. A room at the Washington High School build ing will be allowed for the meetings of the instructors. James J. Corbett Improving. PHILADELPHIA, Oct.' 3. TBe condi tion of James J.
