Washington and the Oregon Agricul tural College will measure strength agility, football knowledge, rfnd the ability to masticate sawdust this after noon at 2:30 o'clock on Multnomah Field. It will be the big championship game of the year In the Northwest, and, FhouH the Aggies win (the bet ting is 2 to 1 against such a con tingency). It will be the first walloping in more than four years for Washing ton and the first time that a team coached by Gllmour Dobie has been de feated, although he has been coaching for eight years. Both teams rested yesterday. Wash ington reached Portland late Thursday night with 22 men, but on account of the rain Dobie was satisfied witn a lieht signal drill In the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The Corvallis delegation did not book in at the Oregon Hotel until after dinner. Coach Dolan swinging- off the electric with 18 huskies Both squads were the guests of the lieillg Theater last night at the per formance of "The Bound-Up " Both Coaches Pesslnilstie. A quiet confidence pervaded the at mosphere at the Oregon Hotel, but as both tribes were registered there the confidence might belong to either, or ou might Imagine to neither after conferring with Dobie and Dolan. The Oregon Agricultural College will line up exactly as announced earlier in the week, with a. team averaging about 169 pounds. Evenden will be at fullback and 'May at tackle. Coach Dobie, however, has made two hansres in his battle front, and when the squad faces the Orange and Black only five veterans will be in uniform. Right Knd Sutton had to .be left at home because of an injured ankle, and lis place will be filled by one of the leader boys, who weighs a trifle more, 167 pounds to 160 for Sutton. Shiel. a Spokane lad, goes In at fullback In place of Gallagher. Both tip the scales at close to 1!0 pounds. The Washing ton average is close to 174 pounds. Otherwise the teams will lineup as previously given out. Young and Wand Dobles Punters. Quarterbacks Young and Wand will do the punting fur Washington and Bliss the place and drop-kicking. Blackwell will likely boot the leather for the Aggies. The continual rain of the past week has made the footing on Multnomah t'ield decidedly slow, but the four or five inches of sawdust will help a lot. If the weather is fair today the field will dry fast owing to excellent crown in?. At 11 o'clock this morning the first epecial train will arrive in Portland, bearing 500 or 600 wildly partisan stu dents from Corvallis, Eugene, Albany and points down the Willamette Valley. Trains last night from all over the state also brought In their quotas of enthusiasts. About noon today the Washington special is scheduled in from Seattle with an additional 600 rooters. Both special trains will be augmented by the rival student bands and a huge parade will stir things up in the busi ness section just prior to the game. It is expected that from 5000 to 70U0 fans will attend, weather being at all fa vorable. The rival colleges will have separate sections in the grandstand and bleachers and the four yell lead ers are bound to kick up a big fuss. Dobie Says Team Is Weakened. "The game is mighty uncertain," said Coach Dobie, of Washington. "As sistant Coach Kakins has seen Oregon, Idaho, Washington State and the Ore gon Aggies In action and he thinks the Aegies are about the best of the quar tet. 1 am going into the game tomor row with practically only four of last year's team, as Anderson was only a substitute, and it is light. The aver S Is only 172 pounds. Why the bet tors should favor Washington 2 to- 1 I cannot understand. The absence of Sutton, all-star end last year, is bound to weaken us." Coach Dolan hopes to hold Washing ton to two or three touchdowns. "If we can do that I will be satis fied." said he. "Washington has from three to four big, strong men trying out for every position. That gives Coach Dobie a big assortment to choose from while we have Just one man for each position. Dobie has a team on the sidelines that can defeat the or dinary Northwestern eleven. If Hauser were in the lineup I would feel more confident. Liaeops Are Announced. The two teams will lineup at 2:30 o'clock as follows: Orecon Arsles. Washington.

While Coach Gilmour Dobie, of the University of Washington, has no particular grouch against the 1912 football rules, he does not like them as well as those In vogue last Fall. "I think the doctors cut out great strategic possibilities at the last re vision meeting," eald the former Min nesota quarterback last night, as he took his mind off the championship game scheduled for this afternoon, for a moment. "The uncertainty last year was & good thing for the sport. It gave the weaker teams a little more chance to attain victory by recovering punts, and relying upon a good kicker. "Really there has been more drop kicking than I expected this year," added the Washington coach. Increas ing the count of the touchdown and attendant goal to seven points means that it takes three dropkicks to beat one touchdown. Coach Dobie does not think the East ern officials are making the correct In terpretation of the forward pass rule concerning interference, under pres ent conditions the rules permit of in terference on kicks and not on passes, but the officials have ruled that a pass Is not a pass until the ball actual ly leaves the passer's hand.

"I don't think that was the inten tion of the rules committee, at all," said Coach Dobie. "To my notion the rules should be interpreted strictly as the book gives them. No interference should be tolerated at all on a for ward pass. Sam Dolan and I will gefc together on some sort oi an agree ment today prior to the game on that point." Superintendent Dow Walker re ported a healthy ticket sale, last night at his downtown stands. Mr. Walker has arranged for four megaphone men to parade in front of the crowd this afternoon to keep the fans informed of what's going on in the field of play. A score board has also beeen erected on the bluff op posite the grandstand. Graduate Manager Geary, nt Oregon, and Bert Pilkington. of the Oregon Agricultural College, and Dr. E. J. Stewart held a conference with Dow Walker at the Multnomah Club yes terday, but no definite statement con cerning the possible scheduling of an Oregon-O. A. C. game this Fall was made. They may get together today. Dobie's Washington squad consists of the following 22 men: Bliss. Wand, Clark, Young. Dorman, Freedman, B. Griffiths, T. Griffiths, Patten, Presley, Anderson, Hunt, i. Leader. E. W. Leader, Jacquot. Chapman. Devlne, Ab bott, Bruce, Shiel, Gallagher, Miller. The Oregon Agricultural squad, headed by Coach Dolan, follows: Chris man. Sltton, Moore, Laythe. Hofer, May, Robertson. Kellogg, Reynolds, Dewey, Shaw, Blackwell, Evenden, Richardson, Rasmussen, Larsen, McKenzie, Hewitt, Klum and Arbuthnot. e "I'm mighty glad O. A. C. can't play Hauser tomorrow," said Dobie last night. "They are holding this 'Aggie' team too lightly as it is, but with him in the game I would feel even less secure than I do." "Had Hauser been In the O. A. C. Pullman game the Oregon boys would havo won easily." says George Varnell, Spokane sporting editor who referees today s gridiron pout. Dobie kept a number of his men away from the show last night, declar ing that it was imperative mat tney get a good rest.

SPOKANE, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Special.) On the eve of one of the greatest gridiron battles ever fought in Spo kane (the Whitman-Washington State College game to be plaved at Nata torlum Park Saturday afternoon) the two teams appear to be about evenly matched. Coaches Bender, of Washington State, and Hahn, of Whitman, are both ex pecting a victory for their respective elevens, and the student-bodies of the schools, who have anxiously watched final training and preparation for the big game, are each confident of win ning. . , The Whitman team arrived in Spo kane this morning and the members are resting at the St. Nicholas Hotel. The Pullman men will arrive at 10 A. M Saturday and the men will go Immediately to the Spokane Athletic Club building, where they will remain until time to dress for the game. Special trains are to be run from both Walla Walla and Pullman and it is said that several hundred students from each place will be on hand. Both colleges have a big number of backers in this city and there are many bets being made, neither offering Johnnie Bender, Pullman coach, said '""Despite the poor physical condition of the Washington State team I look for an even break or better with Whit man Saturday. Our chances looked kind of poor the first of this week, but the boys came through the last two practice nights and showed their real fighting spirit. Tom Tyre left end, will be the only regular out of the game." Archie Hahn, Whitman coach, lna statement today, said: "The Whitman team will return to Walla Walla the victor over Washing ton State College. While I look for a close game, I am confident that our boys will win the game.

HILL 15 SURPRISE Washington High Is Held to No-Score Tie Game. DAY AND M'ALLEN STARS Wolffs Men Tear Into Heavier Team and light to Standstill For ward Passes Tried in Game Are Dismal Failures. In a game which- showed Hill Mili tary Academy to be every bit as good as Washington High, the academy lads sprung the surprise of the Interscholas tic football season by holding Wash ington to a no-score game yesterday afternoon on Multnomah Field. This Is the third tie game which Hill has played this season and the cond no score game, Columbia having been played without a score, while Lincoln was tied, 9 to 9. The work of the two lines was one of the features of the game, and was chiefly responsible for the absence of any score. Hill made its first yardage shortly after the start of the first quar. ter. Day finding holes, or rather break ing them by sheer force. Washington did not succeed in making yardage un til the second quarter was nearly over. For a while the game bore a decided ly Hill complexion, but Day worked too hard and the team slowed down with him. Nevertheless the team got to the Washington 35-yard line, where Briggs missed a place kick. Washington kicked off at the start and the first half ended with the two teams relatively in the same positions as when the game started. , Hill Hold. In Last Ditch. Washington showed its strength for a time at the start of the third quar ter, and predictions along the side lines were freely made that the game would be Washington's by one touchdown at least. But Hill showed an unexpected defensive strength in the pinches and the two quarters sawed through with Washington only once near the Hill line, when even Beckett and Tegart could not penetrate the defense and had to give Hill the ball on the five yard line after making but five yards in four downs. In the last quarter Washington again tried to win the game by making a place kick, but the kick was blocked, St. Martin recovering the ball on the 20-yard line. A good punt by Briggs put the ball far away from the danger zone, and the game ended with Wash ington's career as a winner stopped. The absence of any score In this game means that the Washington-Lincoln melee on November 22 will be the championship game, for if Lincoln should win that match it would be the interscholastic champion for the second year in succession. Hill would be tied with Washington with one loss. Game IV ot Spectacular. There was nothing particularly spec tacular about the game from the spec tator's standpoint, it being a hard fight for inches all the time. Passes were few and far between, and only three were successful, Washington getting the majority, although one was a freak, made possible only by Hill's assistance. Laugbton, Washington's right half, tried to pass the ball to Morrow, who was far out in the Hill territory. Day intercepted the ball with his fist, but batted it off to the side Into the hands of Tegart, who gained about nine yards by the transaction. In the last quarter Foster made a pass to Morrow which netted 15 yards to the perpetrators, bringing the ball to the 12-yard line. Hill showed up several hither-to-unknown stars, Briggs and Blacklstone coming to the front by their breaking up of plays. Henry Jones showed his color yesterday by making some gain on nearly every occasion that he car ried the ball. McAllen and Day were the big men for the Hill team, each playing like demons and making yardage by hurling themselves through the line of the opponents. Beckett aud Tecart Stars. For Washington, Beckett and Tegart were the big men. Bovette, as a de velopment at quarter, does Coach Earl much credit, tor the lightweight ranks as the best In the league to many. The Normandins, both of them, did effective work on the offensive. Two men whose work does not show, but is greatly responsible for the record of Washington are Moore and McLynn, the big men next to the center. Foster, although playing but part of the game, made himself useful at the old stand. He was a "hoodoo" to trick plays and passes of the opposing team1. The lineups: Wuh. Hih. Pooltlon. Hill M. A.

The colle giate rugby football championship of the United States will be determined Viaa nm nrrn-nr at ttiA nnniinl ffamft be tween the University of California and Stanford. Twenty-five thousand persons will witness the game and tickets wert quoted tonight at Io0 each.

Rugby experts generally consider Stanford has the better chances of win nlng although California's veteran backfleld may overcome a slight weight handicap in Stanford's favor. Showers predicted for tomorrow should decrease Stanford's advantage in this respect Tomorrow's game will give the winning team four of the seven matches thus far played between the two schools, California has won for three successive years. The game will be refereed by William W.
