ITrom present indications it looks as if the close of the football season at the Oregon Agricultural College would be marked by an unusually glorious fciinset. -V post mortem on the furious 10-10 tin -with the University of Oregon Sat v;i Jay at Albany reacts strongly in the Angles' favor. In the opinion of the -writer both the backfield and the in terference were stronger than Oregon's. This is not to be construed as a "knock" against Oregon. The Aggies have one of the greatest elevens in the history of the lnstttu i.jn; that is. when fairly roused, and it is no discredit to Oregon to pull out even with Coach Stewart's huskies. The Aggies showed power and punch both in interference and line play. They hud no Parsons and Cornell to pick holes and zig-zag and side-step down the field, but revealed an all-around driving efficiency on attack that ap peared to be lacking in the 'varsity of lonse. One Defeat Rasps Stewart. Washington defeated the Aggies 47 to 0 and that route doubtless will gall It. Stewart to his doomsday. But, tho Aggies' wonderful struggle against Ore gon Saturday proves beyond question f a doubt that disorganization and not inefficient coaching caused their route i-t Seattle. Oregon had been expected to give the Aggies a sound drubbing Saturday. Lemon-Yellow adherents freely gave oven money and spotted the Corvallis' lOeman 1C points. Some 2 to 1 wagers were laid. The Varsity had been whip ping the Aggies so habitually that the size of the score appeared to be the only matter of conjecture. As a consequence the atmosphere at Eugene doubtless Is permeated with Corvallis black. The rooters expected a victory, and instead, found their team played to a standstill and almost de feated. The writer does not share this tem porary Oregon pessimism. When the Aggies went North they were expected to hold Washington under 10 points. Their showing against the Multnomah Club and Whitman entitled them to tins regard and the battle Saturday, if any thing, substantiates and strengthens this confidence. All of which may be construed and twisted around as a boost for the Ore Son eleven. Oregon Line Uolda Its Onn. Oregon's line outplayed in spots dur ing the first half, displayed wonderful recuperative powers in the second per iod and more than held its own. Quar terback Cornell, on the other hand, be gan to realize the futility of shoving bucks inside tackle and began shooting his forwards Into the open field. Results followed. instantaneously. The team emerged from its chrysalis. Parson's remarkable spurts through the broken fields were as sensational as anything the fans will see in many seasons. Johnny's work stamps him as a cinch all-Northwest halfback for 11)13. Cornell, too, will make a heavy bid for the field general's Job. This 135 pound marvel plucked the game out of the fire, unknown to the fans, by head v ork. With the score 10 to 0 in the fourth quarter in the Aggies' favor, Cornell apparently called for a fake buck on t'ne right wing and delaying long enough to draw the opposing end in emerged suddenly from the massed swirl and shot far out around the left extremity for a touchdown. Cornell Coins I'lnj-. That freak play, it became known, after the game, was one of Cornell's own coinage. It was not in Coach Bezdek's catagory of tricks. The little midget presumably noticed that the Ag gie end was being pulled in when the plays headed round the opposite wing, and, sensing: the opportunity for a touchdown, pulled the play without so much as consulting his captain or tip ping oft the plan beforehand. It surprised his teammates as much as ins opponents and shows what quick iiiiiiKing win ao on the football field. Oregon is fortunate in possessing two such extraordinary stars as Parsons e-iid Cornell, for these two whirlwinds make up by individual effort what the lemon-yellow backfield lacks in driv ing power. Returning to the analysis of Oregon's strength as a whole, the writer be lieve.) Coach Bezdek's team to be bet ter coached and fully 25 per cent stronger than in 1912. This may seem an odd statement to make in view of the fact that last year's team walked all over the Aggies, but the assertion is conservative. Washington undoubtedly is stronger than one year ago, but Oregon has shown more progress in the year than Coble's bunch. If this diagnosing is correct fans can expect the lemon yellow to hold the northerners to two touchdowns at least next Saturday. Yet, comparative dope would seem to gjve Washington a 47-point advantage, for that was the score by which the Seattleites walloped Corvallis. MOKE TIIAX 3 0 ARE AT SHOOT Joe Addleman High Man at Portland Gun Club Contest.

OREGON AGGIE GAME FINANCIALLY the big state football clash at Albany proved a bonanza for the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College foot ball exchequers. The gross receipts from the 7000 paid admissions were $5006.75, and, deduct ing $50o.75 for expenses, each college will receive approximately $2500 as its share of the profits. Albany citizens got $2u0 of the gross as recompense for their expenditure of several hundred dollars for improve ments at the field. , " Although the game was scheduled for 3 o'clock and both teams were on the field, the actual start was delayed until 3:19, due to the lack of yard sticks. As usual, a freshman draws the blame. Uean Walker, manager of the Ore gon eleven, had his system worked out to the finest detail and in that system the yardsticks played an important role. Freshie was given the job of toting them to the field and, as might have been expected, the green-topped rookie enjoyed a lapse of memory and almost caused, a riot on- the tield late in the fourth quarter, when Coach Stewart, of the Oregon Aggies, demanded that Referee Varnell call the game on ac count of darkness. Unfortunately nothing in the rules authorizes the referee arbitrarily to call off hostilities, once begun, and Referee Varnell so informed the Cor vallis mentor. . Everett May, acting captain of the Oregon Aggies, winds up his college athletic career this season and from all appearances it is to be a brilliant exit Everett loomed out above his team mates like a live oak in a forest' of chaparral. He was a power on de fense, was up and down the field with his ends, in fact roved pretty much over the entire held, and his eight and ten-yard plunges oft tackle caused great gobs of consternation in the lemon camp all through the, afternoon. . . Anderson, Aggie center, protested vigorously all during the game that Caufleld was interfering with his pe culiar side pass to the backfield before he moved the ball. Caufield had been explicitly coached to concentrate his attack on Anderson's arms, so as to spill the plays if possl ble, and he did succeed on two or three occasions.

Walla Walla Club $9 0 9 In Debt. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 9. (Special.) The close of the 1913 season found the Walla Walla baseball club in the Western Tri-State League $969 In debt, according to a report completed yesterday. This sum is due players and business men. At the end of 1912 the club was $1514 in debt, and this debt was paid off this year and in ad dition $625 was spent on improvements at the ball park. The report showed subscriptions were $4873, gate receipts $12,800 and sale of players $850. Lewiston Golf Clnb Organized. LEWISTON, Idaho. Nov. 9. (SDe- clal.)

Theywere not shining lights, but were sticking around wherever needed and, with an other year of big league training, should develop into shining lights. m m m Although the game ended a tie. Ore gon secured possession of the football that caused all the fuss. Referee Varnell tossed a coin to de clde the ownership- and Dean Walker won out over Everett May. If It is possible to nolnt out anv on piay ana call that the break. Rasmus sen's failure to kick on a fourth down near the Aggie end of the field must be designated as the most costly one ui ine uay. According to his teammates Sastv claimed the pass was poor and, when nnany ne got his hands squarelv on the ball it was too late to kick, so he tried 10 run it out. Whether the fault was Rasty's or his center's, the fact remains that it gave Oregon the ball within striking- dis tance and permitted Cornell to skid across with the touchdown that made the score 10-7. Loud complaints are being voiced against the car service on the electric line that toted football patrons to and from Portland and Albany. One special was billed to leave Al bany at 6:30 Saturday evening and the fans crowded into the cars direct from the football field. Supperless and unable to secure sat isfaction from any of the road em ployes, these several hundred Portland folk were forced to sit still for over two hours, at which time a local came along and picked them up. This contingent arrived in the city about 11 o'clock. "Bill" Hayward, veteran Oregon trainer, is a Portland visitor. Bill had men taking motion pictures of the big game and these will likely be sent to all points of the state, so as to permit the old grads to see the mimic war fare on the screen. Attorney O'Rourke, the big Multno mah Club football star, chased the last special out of Portland several blocks Albanyward. only to miss it by the proverbial whisker. OIG TEAMS lii FORI Class Developed by Harvard and Dartmouth. LITTLE OPEN PLAY USED Conservative Co a dies Fail to Take Advantage of New Rules Xcw and Old Tactics Combined by HanoTCr Bring Victory. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. Despite the handicap of mud-mired gridirons, the play of the leading Eastern university football teams Saturday demonstrated that all are rounding Into form for the final games of the 1913 season. The trend of improvement was evident. In several instances defeated teams developed surprising strength. This was notably true In the Harvard Princeton game. Th Tigers opened with a shift formation attack which completely baffled the Crimson for wards in the first period. Had the field been dry it . is quite probable Princeton would have scored oue or more touchdowns. The slippery foot ing, however, slowed up their plays afer a particularly heavy shower and gave the Harvard scrimmagers a chance to diagnose the attack. After this was accomplished Princeton lost its formidable appearance. The Tigers, on the other hand, completely upset the Cambridge team attack all through the game, and important gains were due to Individual and excellent Interference, once the Crimson runner had passed the Princeton forwards. Crimson Defense Stroner. While Princeton could and did pierce the Harvard line, particularly the right wing, repeatedly the secondary defense of the Crimson was unusually strong and shut off promising runs and for ward passes in impressive style. This same alertness was evident in protect ing Hardwlck and Brlckley in their punting and drop-kicking. Neither was forced to hurry as were Law and Baker, due to the savage manner in which the Harvard forwards charged through. It was this weakness that really lost the game, for poor passing and hurried kicking finally caused one of Law's punts to be blocked near Princeton's goal, thus opening the way for Brlckley's field goal. . In sharp contrast to the slow, con servative and uninteresting game played by Princeton and Harvard was the Dartmouth-Pennsylvania contest at Philadelphia. By a Judicious com bination of old and new football tac tics the Hanover team defeated the Quakers 34 to 21. Since Dartmouth previously had defeated Princeton, un der even worse playing conditions, by a score of 6 to 0, the comparison of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth with Harvard and Princeton- does not reveal the two latter university teams in the light of all-conquering combinations. Coaches Overlook New Rolen. The opinion is gaining weight among some leading football experts that the coaches of the largest Eastern college teams are so conservative that they fail to take advantage of the possi bilities of the so-called new rules per mitting open football. Playing a game similar to that of Harvard and Princeton, the recon structed Yale team defeated Brown by a 17 to 0 score on a watersoaked grid iron. The Providence eleven, compar atively weak this season, has been de feated by Pennsylvania 2S to 0, and Colby 10 to 0, so that Yale did not accomplish a remarkable feat. Nor was the Brown attack abl& to demonstrate the caliber of the Blue defense. The real test in this respect will come in the game with Princeton next Satur day. Cornell, defending Eastern football honors in the only inter-sectional game of the day, failed lamentably, being defeated by Michigan 17 to 0. Due to the strong Cornell defense, however, Michigan was forced to resort to the Western system of open play. So far as the old game was concerned, Cor nell was outclassed by Yost's versatile team. So far as large scores are concerned, the Army and Navy teams won chiet honors of the day, defeating Albright For Pipe and Cigarette EVER-LASTI NG-LY GOOD P. Lortllard. Co.

Saturday's Mid dle Western football games, prepara tory to the big championship games of the season, established the strength of Michigan, proved Nebraska still is a formidable fighting machine and added to the list of peculiar incidents of the season 13 games in which the winning team scored two touchdowns. Michi gan's honors came in a brulsmg battle with Cornell. Nebraska gained new honors by smothering the Nebraska Wesleyan team, making this showing with its star backfield on the sidelines. The two touchdown victories were in jected into most of the big games of the West, the larger teams being con tent with narrow winning margins. Iowa defeated Indiana by a top heavy score instead of the expected close margin. Purdue opened up its offense and displayed strong scoring power against the best team Rose Poly technic has had recently. Iowa's victory was its final game of the year against a "Big Nine" team. The remaining Iowa games will be west of the Mississippi. Iowa has won two games and lost one in its conference battles, scored 144 points and had 29 scored against it. Tho "Big Nine" championship will be decided next Saturday. RACE IX ROCKIES NARROWIXG Colorado Mines and College Only Teams In Intermountain Contest. DENVER, Nov." 9. Saturday's foot ball games of the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate-" Conference narrowed the championship contest down to two un defeated teams, the University of Colo rado and the Colorado School of Mines, each of which defeated yesterday the only remaining contenders. Colorado eliminated Utah by a large score, and the Miners fought a vicious game with Colorado College, winning by a mar gin of four points. The Miners and the university team will enter their game here two weeks hence for the conference honors, almost evenly matched, with the Miners hav ing a shade the better in weight, and with Colorado having an edge on speed and kicking In open formations and punts. All through the season the Miners and Colorado have met oppo nents with almost equal vim, though Colorado was harder put to it to wrench the winning score from the Tigers than were the Miners. Denver University yesterday forced Wyoming University to show further the weakness of its defense in both old and new style football by rolling up a score of 26 to 0 against the Wyo ming eleven. The Colorado Agricul tural College team played only a prac tice game yesterday and has no for midable opponents on the schedule un til Thanksgiving day, when it will meet the Colorado College team. WILLAMETTE NOT IXTERESTED Proposal to Include Montana in Xew Circuit Xot Liked. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., Nov 9. (Special.) Little, if any, enthusiasm was aroused here by the report that John R, Bender, secretary of the Pacific Northwest Intercollegl ate Conference, has started a move ment for the purpose of organizing a college conference among the smaller institutions of the Northwest. While Willamette has not as yet been ap proached in the matter, it is certain? that the plan of the Pullman athletic director will be considered here as not practical. It Is the belief here the pro posed circuit, Montana State Univer sity, of Missoula, Mont.; Montana Ag ricultural College, Bozeman, Mont.; Gonzaga College, Spokane. Wash.; Whltworth College, now of Tacoma, Wash., but which is moving to Spo kane, and Willamette, Salem, Or., is too much of a shoestring circuit to be financially feasible. , Then, too, there is little rivalry between Willamette and Montana State Agricultural Col lege, practically 1000 miles apart. From a financial standpoint, Willam ette cannot afford to bring a team from Spokane to Salem unless it be of the drawing class of a conference team and then the cost would be almost pro hibitive, to say nothing of the schools at greater distance.
