Albany, a bustling; city "80 miles up
the 'Willamette Valley, has been nom
inated the football capital of Oregon.
This afternoon Its 5000 population will
suddenly swell to nearly 15.000, for the
two great Institutions, the University
or Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural
College, are to re-cement a shattered
friendship by battering each other
around the gridiron in the biggest game
of the year in the Northwest.
The contest will be for the state col
lege championship, and Albany, being
a communion point between Eugene.
Corvallls. Portland and other cities of
the valley, will be easily accessible to
the thousands of enthusiasts. Close to
1200 will pack aboard the steam and
electric trains from' Portland alone,
while special trains will be run from
the two college towns.
A ancles' Ckancea Raited High.
There are several features which dif
ferentiate this game from Its pre
decessors. In the. first place the Ore
Ron Aggies appear to stand a good
chance of winning this year, whereas
they have registered only one previous
win since 1897, when McAllister. Bo
dine, Elgin, Walters. Holgate and that
squad of busters defeated Oregon 26
to 8 and Washington 16 to 0. That one
victory, a 4-to-0 affair, is chalked up
on the records of 1907, when Carl Wolff
kicked a placement.
Again, the rival teams have not met
since 1910, when the Aggies broke off
athletic relations as a result of mix-
ups between students after their 12-to-0
walloping. Last year no game was
played, and there appeared slight hopes
for a meeting this Fall until the scores
of last Saturday's games were hung
out on the line. Then the Aggies de
cided that this waa the psychological
time to masticate their hated foe, even
though concessions had to be made,
while Oregon made up Its mind to take
the drowning man's chance to make up
for Its rather disappointing showing
at one gulp.
Both Camps Hare Talea of Woe.
Anyway, the teams will march upon
the field at 2:20 this afternoon, both
trained to lose, for "that was the In
telligence from the camps last night.
At Eugene one player is reported with
a dislocated eyebrow and two or three
others are on the verge of illness, the
result of good health. The Aggies, on
the other hand, will be sadly disjoint
ed by tonsllitls. heartburn and the ear
ache. Analytically, Oregon will outweigh
Coach Sam Dolan's team over five
pounds to the man. Plnkham has the
heaviest vquad in the Pacific North
western conference, with an average
weight of close to ITS pounds to 171
fo,r the Aggies. He has the beefiest
bonanza in Ed Bailey, the 227-pound
tackle, who opposes Hofer, a Salem
boy. and also the lightest in Anson Cor
nell. 127-pound quarterback, a lightning
open field man. The Aggies are much
better balanced In avoirdupois.
Kickers Are Only Fair.
In the kicking line there is not much
edge either way. Fenton has been
credited with 45 and 50-yard boots in
practice, but his work at Seattle last
week was only ' fair and that's about
the best that can be said of Black
well's punting.
In experience the Aggies seem to ac
count for much of their success this
Fall, for only three of the 11 men
Quarterback Dewey. Tackle Hofer and
Halfback Blackwell are first year re
. crults. Oregon, on the other hand, will
use five new players. Grout and Cau
fleld at guard and center, and Quarter
hack Cornell, Halfback Parsons and
Fullback Cook. Cornell and Parsons are
both Portland high stars, while Cook
is the big Coeur d'Alene man enticed
t.j Eugene by Bill Hayward amidst pro
tests by Idaho.

YORK. -Nov. 22. (Special.)
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt is not going
to shake the dust of America from his
shoes and make his future abode in
England. Stories from Newport said
he was. but Vanderbllt says no.
"It Is rather amusing to hear such
reports," he said. "I am coming back
here in August. We are going to Eng
land on our usual trip and will leave
on the 17th of next month. I am not
going to close Oakland farm.
"We have made our arrangements to
leave here so as to be with the kid on
Christmas. Of course, I shall coach
as usual in the months of May and
June, and that will get us back here
nicely by August. While we are away
there will be no sense in having the
farm running as it Is now. I shall dis
charge some servants who would be
useless while we are away. I am
going to have a sale, too, of young
horses. You know. I have a lot of
horses there too many."
"Will the Horse Show be continued
next year?"
"I hope so. I don't know how much
of a success the show has been finan
cially this year, but Interest taken in
it has certainly been reassuring."

VIENNA, Nov. 2.1. Rumora of a Rus
sian mobilisation have led to m strong
anti-Russian outburst by the Austrian
press, which accuses Russia of being
behind Servia. The Bourse was greatly
weakened today on rumors of warlike
preparation by Austria and Russia.
LONDON, Nov. 23. Telegraphing
from Constantinople, the correspondent
of the Standard says:
"Much alarm Is felt here over a re
port tl)at 30,000 Greeks have left the
neighborhood of Monastlr for Kata
rlna Harbor, whence they will be
shipped for the Gulf of Saros, north of
the Dardanelles, In order to seize the
Dardanelles and reinforce the allied
army at Tchatalja."
The efforts towards peace in the
Balkans made no visible progress to
day. Exchanges of artillery fire and
infantry reconnaissances proceeded
along the Tchatalja lines and Nazlm
Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief,
in a dispatch to Constantinople,
declares that an Infantry battle oc
curred in front of the center of his
position and that the Bulgarians left
several thousand dead before the Turk
ish outer works.
Not much credence, however. Is
placed in this report.

Elsewhere in the war zone the mili

Vagabond Dons New Footwear on
Front Steps of Parsonage, Leav
ing Minister in Socks..
Rev. Benjamin Young, pastor of. the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, has
been bluffed out of his shoes.
One of the wanderers on the face of
the earth, literally "on his uppers," ac
costed Dr. Young at his home, asking
for something to help him to a meal.
As he received a contribution his eyes
rested covetously upon the substantial
pair of shoes that covered the minis
ter's feet. Dr. . Young In turn looked
with interest at the. remnants that
served his guest for footwear.
"You need a pair of shoes."
"You bet I do," was the reply, with
eyes never for an instant taken from
the minister's feet.
"Would you wear these if I offered
thom to you?"
"Tako 'em off and give me the
chance!"
Dr. Young wouldn't back out. He
sat on the steps and took off his shoes,
and soon the visitor was going merrily
down the street, well shod.
The exchange was hardly equal, how
ever. The minister looked at the shoes
left behind for a moment and then, in
the view of the whole Interested
neighborhood, pattered up his front
steps in his stocking feet and went
quietly in search of a pair of carpet
slippers.
HARVESTER TRUST SCORES
Business of Competitor Admitted to
HaTO Grown Largely.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Counsel for the
International Harvester Company scored
on one of the Government s witnesses
In the hearings in the Federal suit to
dissolve the Harvester Company today.
Paul D. Mlddlekuff, president of the
Acme Harvesting Machine Company, of
Peoria, 111., said to be one of the chief
competitors of the alleged trust, ad
mitted under cross-examination that
the output of his company had In
creased steadily for the last four years.
In 1908 the Acme company marketed
2588 binders and 3488 mowers. Ac
cording to Mr. Mlddlekuff's own esti
mate, the 1912 output will be 11,000
binders and 9000 mowers.
This does not seem to Indicate that
the defendant company 'throttled com
petition' as charged by the Govern
ment," said Attorney William D. Mc
Hugh, chief counsel for the harvester
company.

Intrpduced as "the woman who felt so
much for her sex that she had gone to
the night court in New York to fur

Is one of the greatest friends of the
causa of woman suffrage."
Tonight's meeting was given over ex
clusively to men advocates of equal
rights for women. A. S. G. . Taylor,
one of the two men delegates to the
convention, said that woman suffrage
was a man's question Just as much as
It was a woman's.
Moral Regeneration Needed.
The need of moral . regeneration In

For Rotnnd Women, Whose Figures
Rebel, Gown Designers Have
Taken Lesson From Turk.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. (Special.) The
Spring maid of 1913 is to be straight
front, straight back, hlpless and curve
less. If fashionably attired she will
look like a straight line, with an ob
lique line at the top, said oblique line
being her hat.
The National Cloak and Suit Manu
facturers, who began their two days'
sessions today and who determine
styles for all ready-made garments
from Philadelphia to the Pacific Coast,
gave the foregoing outline of what will
prevail next season.
Skirts are to be perfectly straight,
looking like an envelope. Jackets are
to be the same. Narrow skirts will
prevail. Hence they will be slashed
so that the wearer may move with
some degree of safety. The slash may
be back, front or on the sides. The
slash will extend to a point just below
the knee and will be skillfully con
cealed by pleats.
For a plump woman, who cannot
wear positively straight lines, fashion
makers have taken a lesson from the
Turk. A movlng-plcture of a Turk
in action has given fashion producers
a grand idea which, they will proceed
to cash In.

LONDON, Nov, 2T2. Sir Edward Grey,
the British foreign minister, declined to

on the ground that such action on the

Such a result, he adds, would not ad
vance the interests of the Jews and
would be disadvantageous to British
interests.
