TINY HALF BACK IS
TEAM'S RELIANCE
Small, 128-Pounder, Feature
in All Games Played by
Willamette.
CREDIT IS DUE SWEETLAND
Methodist Coach, Working Under Big
Handicap, Builds Up Winners of
tight Material Salem Score
Not Altogether "Fluke."
Seldom does It fall to the lot of a
128-Dound athlete to play the hero role
under modern footDall conditions,
where brawn is secondary only to more
tirawn. But Sophomore Small, of Will
e.mette University, is the exception to
the rule.
It was Small's nimble footworK, nerve
find keen perception together with his
ability to "fall on the ball." that en
abled Willamette to defeat big brother
Oregon last Saturday in the memorable
upset at Salem.
The score was 6-3 in Willamette's
Javor and Halfback Small was respon
sible for the six.
The 128-pound wonder, who should
more properly have been decorating the
kindergarten row In the grandatand,
sailed down the muddy gridiron under
one of his teammate's punts, and, when
Oregon's defensive quarterback fum
bled, took a flying leap through the air
and landed on the pigskin behind the
goal line for the winning touchdown.
Luck May Not Be All.
That touchdown has been described
both as "lucky" and "flukey." Perhaps
there was more than luck in the score.
A close observer of Dr. Sweetland's
style of play is authority for the state
ment that the wise Willamette mentor
has bullded a particular formation
around wiry little Small so as to, let
him down the field unobstructed.
Small is reputed to have scored one
or more touchdowns In every game he
has played, exactly as he did against
Oregon, an a result of fumbles by the
defensive backs.
At any rate. Coach Sweetland quite
naturally Is Jubilant, for the victory
puts Willamette on a par with other
big universities of the Northwest in a
football sense. This, too, despite the
fact that Dr. Sweetland has about 2S
per cent their material on which to
draw. His team this year averages only
160 pounds, which is less than at least
two Portland high elevens.
Conch Works Under Handicap.
The defeat of Oregon calls attention
to the wonderful elevens that Coach
Sweetland has been turning out year
after year under great handicaps. He
has captured the non-conference cham
pionships consistently stnce his advent
at Salem.
Two years ago the Methodists battled
against the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis
in one of the fiercest games of the Kali
and the Aggies won out by only the
narrowest margin. The score was 5-3.
Last year Willamette met only Oregon
of the conference teams and Oregon
was able to amass 12 points on the
home field.
Saturday's defeat of Oregon and live
walloping handed the Multnomah club
In 1910 are triumphs that will long be
remembered at the state capital. Last
Thanksgiving day Willamette defeated
the University of Montana by a 30-9
score, and that is another memoraDle
athletic victory.
All lh all, Willamette University is
decidedly fortunate in being able to
hold a coach of the caliber of its pres
ent football tutor.
OREGON' COACH NOT WORRIED
Mistake of IMnying Wenk Iine
Ajrainst Willamette Admitted.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Nov. 3. (Special.) "Forget it," said
Coach Bezdek, when he arrived yester
day from Seattle, where he watched
Washington crush Whitman Saturday.
This sentiment In regard to the en
counter with Willamette is general
around the campus, the students tak
ing a philosophical view of the matter
and priming themselves for the all
important games with Oregon Agricul
tural College and Washington.
There is considerable wrath felt here
over the misstatements printed in a
Portland paper concerning the farce at
Salem. There Is no disposition to dis
parage the Willamette team, nor to
detract from the credit due Coach
Sweetland, who has made a wonderful
showing, considering the football ma
terial which is at his disposal.
It Is freely admitted that a mistake
was made In playing substitutes and
men who had taken part in a hard
tight the day before. In view of the un
expected strength which Sweetland's
eleven was showing. However, the
fact remains that Oregon was not at
any time represented by her first
lineup.

ALBANY COVERING MUD
BLEACHERS COMPLETED FOR
BIG GAME NEXT SATURDAY.
Managers of Teams to Direct Work
of Marking Xew Gridiron and
Adjusting Goal Posts.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)
With the construction of a new walk
from the end of Lyon street to Athletic
Park arrangements will be complete
for the big University of Oregon-Oregon
Agrioultural College football game
in this city next Saturday.
All of the bleachers are ud and 305
feet of walk laid Inside the park. This
new walk Inside the park will enable
the spectators to reach any seat in
the bleachers without walking on the
ground. There will be none of the
mud that was encountered last year.
William Eagles, chairman of the Al
bany Commercial Club committee on
arrangements, said today that the
sidewalk to the grounds will be placed
at once and all that will then remain
to be done before the whistle blows
will be the shifting of the goalposts a
short distance southward and the lay
ing off of the field. This work will
be done under the personal direction
of the managers of the two teams.
The defeat of the University of Ore
gon team by Willamette University at
Salem Saturday is stimulating interest
in next Saturday's game and will in
crease the attendance. while It is
realized that Oregon's defeat was due
largely to overconf idence, it also is
realized that Oregon cannot go to sleep
and win from the Corvallis aggregation
Saturday. This fact, coupled with re
ports from the -Oregon Agricultural
College campus that the team of that
Institution is enjoying a revival both
In spirit and team-work, leads to the
belief that the game will be hotly con
tested. COLUMBIA - HILL GAME NEXT
University Team Will Outweigh
Academy Eleven Tomorrow.
The ninth football game of the Port
land Interscholastic League will be
played tomorrow afternoon when the
Columbia University and Hill Military
Academy elevens battle on Multnomah
Field. The game is scheduled to start
at 3 o'clock.
The Columbia team will outweigh
Moore's squad more than 15 pounds to
the man. Coach Calllcrate's players
weighing in the neighborhood of 153
pounds. Phllbin, last year's all-star-center,
is in the lineup of the Peninsula
team, which brings the weight up con
siderable in view of the fact that Phil
bin tips the beam at about 200 pounds.
Malarkey, another Columbia star who
has been out of the game for the past
few contests on account of a bad ankle,
may be seen in a portion of the affair
but no chances will be taken to have
him injured before the Lincoln-Columbia
game scheduled for three weeks
hence.
The Hill team is without tne services
of Halfback Stinson because of parental
objection. McNeil has been switched
to the backfleld. in place of Stinson.
Roscoe Fawcett will referee, with the
head linesman and umpire to be chosen
later.

RIVALS
UNGERTA N
ON EVE OF STRIFE
No Cocksuredness Will Mark
Annual Struggle Between
and Aggie Teams.
SALEM REVERSE PUZZLING
Beidek's Squad Has Only Slight
Shade as to Weight Panting De
partment of Oregon Stronger
Than Corvallis Kickers.
BY ROSCOE FATTCETT.
While the past fortnight has fur
nished sad shocks to the football tal
ent, both at the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural College,
one thing is certain there will be no
cock-suredness on either side when
these bitter enemies settle their annual
grievance at Albany next Saturday aft
ernoon. Perhaps not for years has such an
air of uncertainty settled about the
rival campuses.
Up to Saturday, Oregon adherents
were sure of victory. The size of the
score appeared to them the only mat
ter of moment. That early confidence
is gone and as a result the box Office
is sure to show Increased affluence at
Albany.
About the only source of fore-doping
the state muss Is furnished through
the Multnomah Club medium.
Idaho defeated Washington State
3-0 and Multnomah defeated the same
crew 7-0. Then Oregon walloped Idaho,
27-0. That would seem to give Oregon
three or four touchdowns over Mult
nomah, yet the best the Oregon Aggies
could draw from Multnomah was one
6-0 defeat and a 7-7 tie.
Oregon Backers Puzzled.
But the 6-3 Willamette reverse now
flames across the heavens like a chunk
of red cambric flung before a mad
dened bull. Oregon supporters don't
know what to make of it. They are
hoping for the best, and the best
well, you know what that is!
So far as comparing the rival state
elevens, perhaps no two more equally
matched in weight have represented"
their alma maters in many years.
Both forward lines are well-balanced
and heavy, Oregon possessing a shade
of three or four pounds, which is not
enough to swing any material advan
tage in Coach Bezdek's favor. Oregon's
line likely will average between 182
and 185 pounds; the Aggies approxi
mately 180 pounds.
These weights perhaps will not cor
respond with those sent out from the
rival camps, but approximately they
are correct.
In the back field no vast difference
in style is noted.
The Aggies have two big men
Blackwell and Abrahams and Oregon
one Fullback Bryant. The Aggies
back field will average around 163
pounds, with little Dewey In at quar
ter, and Oregon about 157, with 130
pound Cornell directing play.
Oregon has In Johnny Parsons a
veritable whirlwind on attack, and, if
Johnny is in good physical trim next
Saturday, his presence alone should be
sufficient to give the lemon-yellow a
shade on offense.
New Men May Stop Parsons.
In the 3-0 battle last Fall at Albany
the Aggies found it almost Impossible
to stop this Portland demon. With
new extremity men, May and Huntley,
and more formidable tackles, there may
be a different story ere another week.
In the punting department, Fenton,
of Oregon, will have It on Blackwell.
Fenton won two games for Oregon
last year by accurate placements from
the field, the Aggie game being one of
them; but Coach Stewart has an equally
effective toe artist in game little
"Swede" Larsen, the greatest pigskin
booter ever .hatched on the Scandlnvian
peninsula.
Special trains conveying Portland en
thusiasts to the scene of the big foot
ball scrap will leave the North Bank
depot about 12:15 P. M. That will bring
the fans to the sidelines at 2:45, or
15 minutes before Referee Varnell's
whistle sends the athletes together. -

to complete arrangements for the

tures. Manager Walker expects 2000 Port

ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 3. (Spe

13 to 7 victory which the- Aberdeen
High School won over the Stadium
High School at Tacoma last Saturday,
a crowd of 2000 students and townsfolk

Tacoma. Mingled with the yells of the
students and the cheers of the crowd
were the ringing of cowbells, the toot
ing of auto horns and the music of the
band. Aberdeen has had no celebration
Just like it In the history of the city.
