TWO ENDS ON INJURED LIST
Players and Supporters Admit Su
perior Past Performances of Ag
gies, but Cling to Hope lemon
Yellow Will Upset "Dope."
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Nov. 20. (Special.) Like the training
quarters of an ex-champion "pug" who
aspires to "come back" is the Oregon
football camp, where the stars of for
mer teams which have maintained Ore
gon's supremacy over Oregon Agricul
tural College are trying to Imbue
enough of the old spirit into the pres
ent eleven to make it the winner of
next Saturday's game.
Each of the three men who compose
the present graduate coaching staff has
played on teams whose chances in the
big battle were considered no brighter
than those of this year's eleven, but
always before the "dope" was upset
and Oregon won. However, the per
formances of other teams will avail
. Pinkham's men nothing when they face
their traditional rivals at Albany. They
have their own salvation to work out
and the working is likely to prove dif
ncult. Still, every Oregon player and
supporter believes there is a fighting
chance for the lemon-yellow, though
readily admitting that the Aggies have
an edge of from three to six touch
downs by -comparative scores. '
Cosrbcn Are Silent.
The coaches refuse to announce i
definite lineup for Saturday's game, but
It is certain it will not be that of the
Washington contest. Bradshaw's
jured back will probably keep him on
the side lines, and It is likely that
Jones, who proved so reliable at hand
ling the forward pass in Seattle, will
be used In the injured, man's position
at right end. Hall' will play the other
end if his injured shoulder permits. It
was bruised again In the Washington
game, and his participation Saturday is
doubtful.
Whether or not Hall goes In at end
his old place at left tackle is still open
and the man who will fill It has yet to
be chosen. Grout played the position
in the games with Idaho and W ashing
on. but he may be relieved by either
Holden or Soden. The guard selections
likewise are in the air, with Fenton,
McClelland. Fariss and Hartsuck as
possibilities.
Back Field Remains Unchanged.
The back Held is pretty certain to be
the same which played through last
Saturday's contest. Cornell will start
at quarter. Walker at left half. Par
sons at right half and Cook at full
back, while Heusner and Briedwell
will be held back as reserves.
No scrimmage work has been given
the squad so far this week, and it is
not likely that the first and second
elevens will clash again' before the
Oregon Agricultural College game. The
players were so badly battered in the
gruelling contest with Washington
that the coaches have thought it best
to lighten up on the work. Instead of
wearing out the strength of his men
by pitting them against each other,
Pinkham is trying to perfect his for
mations by signal practice.
Yell Leader at Work.
Oregon's chances Saturday will de
pend in great measure on the condition
of the Albany Held. Dolan's eleven
showed that it excels in the mud when
it threw a Bcare into Dobie's invlnci
bles on Multnomah field. Oregon, on
the other hand, has a team which Is at
home on a fast field, as was shown in
the final quarter of their Seattle en
gagement. There is no reason, how
ever, that the heavy Oregon line should
not hold its own on a slow field, and
the coaches are looking for an im
provement in the work of the line, ir
respective of the footing Saturday.
The Oregon cheer leaders are making
preparations to muster the full strengtn
of the rooters for the game. The vocal
contest on that day Is likely to prove
second only In Interest to the game It
self. A monster rally will be held on
the streets of Eugene and in the uni
versity gymnasium Friday night, under
the direction of Cheer Leader Black
man. '
The officials agreed upon are as fol
lows: George VarnelL, of Spokane, ref
eree; Victor Place, of Seattle, umpire,
and C. H. Smith, of Portland, head
linesman.
is much more spirited than it usually
Is in games of this kind, and the con
test today Is certain to be a high
speed affair.
The gallery of the main gymnasium
will be thrown open to all who wish
to see this game. The teams are made
up of well-known business men and
some excellent players have been de
veloped in the indoor game.
The contest today will serve also as
a sort or preliminary for a match game
with the Salem Y. M. C. A. business
men. which has been scheduled for to
morrow night. A challenge from the
Salem team was received several days
ago and Dromotlv accepted, but the
date was just arranged last sight.
Besides the Indoor baseball contest
there will be a handball contest.
Members of the Portland team and
the nopn class will celebrate the close
of the Giants-Red Sox series with a
banquet Saturday night at 6:15 o'clock
in the parlor on the second floor of the
Y. M. C. A. building.

Multnomah Club-University of Oregon

BEAVER OPTIMISM RUXS HIGH
Farmer Squad and Students Confi
' dent of Winning From Oregon.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 20. (Special.)
Football enthusiasm at Oregon Agri
cultural College is running at high tide
since the elusive Oregon game has
finally been slated. The Beaver team is
keyed up. to concert pitch as the
touches are being given Coach Dolan's
machine preparatory to its appearance
in the Albany matinee next Saturday.
The team came through the Whitman
game in fair condition and as a whole
should be In fine trim for next Satur
day's, contest. Robertson, who is suf
fering from lime water scalds received
from being downed on the lime-marked
lines In the Whitman game, was the
only one of Dolan's regulars not In
yesterday's scrimmage. It is possible,
however, that he will be able to col
lect enough new cuticle in a couple of
days to permit him to get Into the
Oregon - game.
This week's practices have been fast
and furious, every member of the
coaching staff. including "Amy"
Hauser, being pressed into service to
help round the Beaver fighting maofllne
into the best possible shape for the big
gest battle of the season.
In addition to the unusual precau
tions being taken to leave nothing un
done In the coaching line, every Beaver
who scampers over the Albany clay
next Saturday will be perfectly
equipped in the latest gridiron attire,
in order that he may do his full duty
for the team.
. Manager Pllklngton spent yesterday
In Albany completing arrangements for
the game, and on his return this morn
ing reported that the Albany business
men are preparing to make the occasion
of the 1912 state championship game
a memorable one. Their arrangements
even include an evening banquet to be
given in honor of the teams.

OUT-OF-TOWX HORSES TO COME
Show In Portland to Be Only One In
Xorthwest This Year.
The 1912 Portland Horse Show, to be
staged December 6 and 7 in Kramer's
Riding School ring. Sixteenth and Jef
ferson streets, promises to present
more out-of-town entries this season
than in years. As the only city In the
Northwest United States holding a show
this year, interest in equine fanciers
is centered in the Portland blue ribbon
affairs. -
C. M. Weatherwax, of Aberdeen,
Wash., has already entered his jumper,
Fingal. in several classes, while other
owners have promised to send entry
blanks to the Portland Hunt Club be
fore November 30, the closing date.
Although the show is more than two

until November 30, a flattering list
of Portland-owned horses have been
entered for the 26-class event.
OUTLAWS FLAX TO ORGANIZE
Elght-CIub Circuit to Invade Ameri
can Association and Western Field.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Rumors that
certain clubs In the American Asso
ciation and Western League are plan-nine-
to become "baseball outlaws" and
form a new league were confirmed
here today.
President "Tip" O'Neill, of the West
ern League, admitted that discussion
of the proposed league had been going
on for weeks and that the matter took
concrete form at a meeting of the
league held in Milwaukee last week.
It is said that clubs are to be estab
lished In Chicago, Minneapolis, Indian-
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20. (Special.)
Can Dillon may break a few base
ball records by a come-oacK sium
that ' will surprise Coast League fans
next year. Hen Berry brings the news
from the East that three major league
clubs are negotiating with him for the
release of Dillon that be may assume
the management of those clubs.
Whether any of the deals will be
closed Is problematical, but Berry as
suredlv will not stand In the way If
Cap wants to return to the majors
and can get a satisfactory contract.
Dillon could not be. found to make a
statement regarding the offer, but it
goes without saying that he would not
turn down a good offer. If the terms
and conditions were made satisfactory
to" him.
Clutnge In Possible.
So it Is not without the range of
possibilities that he will make another
trip to the majors and in a more ele
vated position than when he first
tried his fortunes with them.
Dillon is not a. stranger in big
league society and he did not quit the
big brush through failure to make
good. He came back to the Angels be
cause he wanted to do so and in a
trade that Jim Morley put through
after Cap had grown weary of major
baseball. Now, If he goes back ne win
require a contract for a term of years
and a satisfactory salary. Otherwise
he will remain with his first love, the
Angels. If he Moes not go to the
majors he will be at the head of the
Angels again next year.
Salaries Not to Be Limited.
Berry and Hogan also said that
there will be no salary limit for Class
AA members of the baseball trust.
"It is another step towards the ulti
mate recognition of the class AA
leagues as major league organiza
tions," said Berry. "Under the rules
of organized baseball all minor leagues
must have a salary limit and that limit
must be approved by the majors. The
big minors refused 'to accede to this
demand by the majors and will have no
salary limit, no more than the majors
have.
"Class AA clubs will pay whatever
salaries they see fit and will govern
these salaries by legislation by each
league for Itself."
Lincoln and Washington High Schools.
Washington is quietly arranging to dis
play some 'stunts" that will rival even
those for which the University of
Washington Is noted. Lincoln High will
hold a rally at the People's Theater to
night. The programme will include
speeches, music and the rehearsing of
yells. Frank Beach, Lincoln's musical
comedy star, will sing several selec- .
tions, while Freeman and Sersanlous
will present the latest In fancy steps.
If Washington Hign wins the cham
plonship game Friday, Portland will
see another big . high school fray.
Washington has decided to make an ex
ceptlon to Its policy against playing
outside teams. In the event it wins It
will bring Everett or Eugene here for
a game on the Saturday following
Thanksgiving. .Everett Is considered
the strongest team in Washington,
while Eugene claims the state cham
pionship.

Speed Test Is Especially Desired
With Oregon Wolf or Vamoose 1

R.F. Cox, owner of the Swastika,
the motorboat known to the racing

issued a challenge to any owner on the
Pacific Coast for a race on Christmas

from $250 to $500 on the chances of
his hydroplane, and aims his challenge
particularly at the owners of the Ore
gon Wolf and Vamoose.
Cox says that he Is indifferent as
to the terms of the meeting, just so
he gets a chance to send his 20-foot
speeder against either the Oregon Wolf,
Pacific Coast champion, or the Va
moose,, the 26-foot title holder. He
would prefer a "race from 15 to 30 miles,
and is willing to compete in the Wil

By successfully executing the most
spectacular forward pass attempted on
Multnomah Field in the Interscholastic
season, Hill Military Academy yester
day afternoon defeated the Portland
Academy football aggregation, 6 to" 0.
Aside from thii score Hill threatened
only once, Brlggs attempting a place
kick near the end of the third quarter.
The wonderful improvement of the
Portland Academy was the cause ot
the low score.
Four of the Hill players figured
in the pass which won the game and
one of these handled the ball twice.
Olsen, the center, made the first pass
to Metcalf, quarter. The latter shot it
to Gordon, full back, and he disposed of
it by criss-crossing to Smith, the left
end who had dropped back into range.
Smith then passed It to Day. right
half, whereupon Day made a beautiful
pass over the heads of the players to
Metcalf, ' who unnoticed, had been
scooting down the field. He had time
to walk to the goal 15 yards away.
The play was started on the Portland
35-yard line but Day finally launched
the ball from about the 40-yard line,
making a pass of about 25 yards.
The way the Hurlburt band held the
soldier boys through the greater part
of the game was a surprise to the
most optimistic pennant bearers of
Portland Academy. Hill made yard
age time and time again in the middle
of the field, but when the ball entered
the danger zone, progress was Im
possible and the ball went to the light
er boys on downs.
In no part of the game, after the
first period, did Hill get nearer than
25 yards from the opponents' goal. For
this performance Whitmer,. the crack
end of the pioneer school, deserves
considerable credit as it was his bull
dog tackles which stopped. Day from
getting away for scores several times.
The Yellow and White defenders, al
though busy keeping Hill away from
their goal most of the time, were able
to make downs four or five times In
the game. Brix and McClung figuring
most prominently in that line.
Brix made the longest run for the
Academy In the third quarter when he
managed to slip past Blaklstone, Hill's
infalible end and got half way to the
goal from the middle of the field, be
fore several of the Hill . gladiators
downed him. The next down McClung
added some more yardage but Hill got
together and the rush of the little men
was ended. -
The losers also showed "class" In
the way they managed to" break up
kicks and plays and recover fumbles
A rush to the Portland goal was
stopped short on the 25-yard line by
the way the little men got the fumble
which occured In the last minutes of
the first quarter.
' Day played his usual star game.
Every game his endurance and ten
acity becomes more wonderful. To be
loaded down with four or even more
players is not always a barrier for
Day. This was brought out yesterday
when he crawled six yards with half
the team of the opponents straining
against him.
Both punters deserve credit for their
lofty boots. Briggs kicked for the sold
iers while Brix lifted the foot occasion-
ally for Portland. Brlggs Is develop
ing into one of the most versatile of
players, as he has played guard,
tackle, end and in the back field all In
the same season of five games. The
place-kick yesterday Is the first which
he has missed this season and was the
fourth which he tried. Whitmer and
Blacklstone, opposing ends, did valiant
service. " . .

but traces of itwere evident upon his
face, lips and throat. '
Frlck came to Portland with his wife
at the end of the last baseball season
111 and despondent- A month before the
close of the season he had disappeared
from Oakland, and Secretary Cook of
the Oakland team, the members of the
team and the Oakland police depart
ment made search for him, suspecting
foul play.
Despondency Causes Disappearance.
He was afterward found and it was
said that his despondency had caused
him to wander away from his hotel
without telling his teammates where
he was going. His absence of about a
week was viewed as a drawback to the
team's success, as he was considered
the best utility inflelder on the Oak
land team. His continued despondency
after he arrived in Portland led to the
plan to go to Oklahoma.

one of whom Is the wife of the Rev.

Frlck was secured last Winter by Oak
land from the Newark club, of the East
ern League. He played third base for
Newark, and . Bud Sharpe, who hailed
from Buffalo, figured him as regular
third baseman to take Wolverton's Job.

that he was kept there all season.

a man of enigmatic ways. several

lic prints. .
When he came West to report for
Spring training to the Oaks at Liver

sight. He turned up eventually In an
Oakland hospital. Just prior to the
final visit of the Oakland team to Fort-
land this Fall Frick mysteriously dis
appeared at Los Angeles, rejoining the
team after a fortnight's absence In
Portland, after his wife had again lo
cated him, this time in a Los Angeles
hospital.

tional young halfback who won
the game for his team against

bunch against the Western Olympics in
the game In Sweden In which Walter
McClure, of Oregon, was a participant.
