With only tho Thanksgiving day
frames remaining: on tho schedule,
Washington appears to have a cinch on
the 1913 Conference football cham
pionship. The Purple and Gold has
only to battle the Washington Staters
find that game should be easy to the
extent of three or four touchdowns.
As runners up the Oregon Aggies
and the University of Oregon appear as
most likely and logical candidates.
The Aggies and Idaho at present rank
second, with two wins In and but one
loss apiece, but Thanksgiving: day
should And the Aggies safely anchored
In second, for Stewart's huskies should
defeat Idaho on Turkey day with at
least two touchdowns to spare.
That will tie Oregon and Idaho at
the .500 mark but Oregon walloped
Idaho 27-0 some weeks back and that
alone is sufficient to station the
Eugene lads in the first division.
Whitman College has had a parti
cularly disastrous season, succumbing
to Washington, Washington State,
Idaho and the Oregon Aggies by large
scores. Archie Hahn lost a major
portion of his bulky material last Kail
and It will take him several seasons
probably to work back up the ladder,
as a contender.
' Washington State College, with a
good bunch of material and a good
coach, likewise has been unfortunate.
The Pullmanltes appear to have a
stronger eleven than Idaho, but the two
ancient rivals met so early In the Fall
that Idaho was able to slip over a
j-to-0 victory. Aside from that reverse
Johnny Bender's team has behaved
with credit to Its coach and Its In
stitution. ; Oregon's remaining game Is the an
nual Turkey day clash with the Mult
nomah Club.
The fans are still buzzing over Sat
turday's Bpectacular battle between
Washington and Oregon on Multnomah
Field, won by the former 10 to 7.
While the writer predicted less than
a ten-point margin, thousands of dol
lars were wagered on a minimum of 15
points. Some bettors freely gave as
high as 21 points, while one man
wagered 11000 that Washington would
score three touchdowns.
On a win and lose basis three and
four to one bets were common, al
though only a few Oregon supporters
were game enough to take this chance,
iiiis hid ijuiui uiaigiua uucicui
However, it is safe to estimate, that
Oregon's wonderful battle against a
heavlor eleven, tapped Seattle bank
rolls to the extent of approximately
$8000 or $9000.
Portland fans had expected Anson
Cornell, Oregon's Quarterback, to spring
a trick play or two on the champs and
there was considerable conjecturing
after the game at his failure to start
anything surprising.
As a matter of fact, Cornell should
not have been In the game. Suffering
with two badly bunged up knee Joints
and scarcely able to maneuver at all,
Cornell was rushed Into the breach
early in the first quarter and struggled
along to the finish as best he could.
Anson, however, was In no condition
to cut up his usual marvelous offen
sive dldos, and, as all the Oregon
tricks are builded around the midget
Portland lad, no bewildering maneuvers
were sprung on the suspecting in
vaders. The "bugs." too, had expected to see
Dobie pull another "hidden" ball fake
or something on that order for he had
one of the Leader twins out by his
side most of the fourth quarter, but,
Ioble appeared afraid tov start any
thing risky as long as he held the
three point edge, and so poor Leader
had no chance in the scrimmage.
"It was the first game in history
that Dobie failed to rush In a bunch
cif second string men In the final quar
ters," remarked Farnsworth Wright,
managing editor of the University of
Washington Daily, during a call on the
writer yesterday.
"I guess that shows, better than any
thing else, that Dobie was really scared
for' once in his career."
Editor Wright admitted that the
Washington rooters expected to win
by three or four touchdowns. V
"We figured the Thanxsorivlng day
Fame with Washington State our only
critical battle," ha added.
That Hugo Bezdek Is up against a
tough proposition trying to bring about
the deleat or Washington next year, is
emphasized by an examination of the
roster lists of the Purple and the
Lemon squads.
Dobie loses only two men, Presley , at
center and Sutton at end. Oregon, In
contrast, will find five or six of the
1913 mainstays in the absent division.
Among the gridiron stars who are on
their farewell voyage are Kenton, the
bis punter; Captain Bradshaw, Caufleld,
center; Hall, tackle; Jones, Grout and
one or two others.
The Oregon Aggies will lose May,
lialfback; Chrisman. tackle, and Ras
Jnussen and Smart of the secondary
list, bo that the Aggies would seem to
le better fortified for 1914 than their
arsity rivals.
So far as recrulls can be gauged at
-this early date, Dobie has a second
string now mat couui wallop one or
two of the conference teams. In the
backfield the most notable prospect is
Iioole, the 19--pound Centralia husky,
Hud Young, sensational punting quarter
iso will be pack.
All of which signifies that Hneo
' Hezdek will be entitled to nothing short
of the gubernatorial honors of Oregon
ir he succeeds in downing the si
time champions one year hence.
The official paid attendance at Sat
tirday's Oregon-Washington football
battle was 6917, according to an an
nouncement by Dow Walker, superin
tendent or the Multnomah Club.
This Is a falling off from the 1912
. game, when close to 8000 witnessed the
- fray, a Northwestern record, 'tis said.
.SPORTSMEN'S MEET PROPOSED
Game Warden Finley Would Improve
Spirit of Oregon Woodsmen.
With a view to inculcating a better
spirit of sportsmanship among the
knights of the rod and gun, the Mult
nomah Anglers' Club Is sending out
letters suggesting that a convention
of Oregon sportsmen be held. The mld-
die of. January, after the close of the
hunting season, is suggested as a con
venient date.
"We want to cultivate a class of
hunters who are not animated solely
by the lust of killing," said William
L. Finley, State Game Warden. "We
are trying to cultivate a class of men
who hunt more for the outdoor life
and the study of bird and animal life.
"A greater interest in game protec
tion in different parts of Oregon has
been manifested during the last few
months. People are beginning to re
alize that to keep game birds and ani
mals abundant protection must be giv
en them. Active associations have been
formed at Brownsville, Corvallls, Al
bany, Roseburg. Riddle, Tiller. Grants
Pass, Coqullle, Pendleton. Baker, Klam
ath Falls and. many other .towns in
the state.
"As an example of the new interest,
A. J. Sherwood, of Coquille, was in
Portland Saturday in regard to the es
tablishment of a game refuge in that
part of the country, and stocking that
region with frame birds and fish. A
few days ago W. B. Sherman, of Grants
Pass, was in the city on a similar er
rand. "The most encouraging feature in
game protection during the past year
has been the active Interest of business
men, farmers and land-owners in real
game protection. Game laws can never
be made effective until we get the real
-interest of farmers, homesteaders and
other landowners throughout the
state."

LIPTOX WAXTS DUAIi HONOR
Sir Thomas to Build Yacht for 12
Meter Class Exposition Races.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16 Sir
Thomas Lipton, who is to race a 23
meter Shamrock here at the 1915 ex
position, also has decided to participate
in the 12-meter class, according to
Captain John Barneaon, who has rep
resented the exposition regatta com
mittee in London. It has been decided
that the 12-meter class will form the
most Important feature of the 1915
regatta.
The 12-meter class has developed to
such an extent in the last three years
that the races for the King's cup at
Newport are run off in this class.
Regatta officials believe it will be a
simple matter to Interest Canada, San
Diego and San Francisco yatchsmen in
building for such a race.
GRESHAM WINS OVER ORIENT

Score of 7 9 to 0.
GRESHAM, Or., Nov. 15. (Special.)
Gresham High defeated the Orient
school football team on the Gresham
grounds today 79 to 0. The game was
fast throughout. Gresham used the
forward pass and straight football for
the most consistent gains. Ralph Stan
ley bucked the line for first down
whenever it was most needed and the
entire backfield and both ends got
loose . for long runs almost at will.
The last game of the season will be

Last Days of Gridiron Season

and Autopsy.
TEAMS OF WEST SURPRISE
Michigan "Rubs "in" Defeat of
Quaker Eleven by Winning With
Tactics of East Princeton Is
Outclassed by Yale Squad.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16 In the closing
hours of the Eastern football season
varsity gridiron form suffered a stag
gering upset, and today there is mourn
ing and autopsy and alibi.
Princeton, outplayed and held to a
3-to-3 tie by Yale; Dartmouth, swamped
by the Carlisle Indians; Pennsylvania,
outplayed by Michigan with the aid of
old-fashioned football tactics; the pow
erful Navy machine almost stalled by
Penn State; the heavy University of
Pittsburg team outplayed by Washing
ton and Jefferson, were but a few of
the upsets that marked the day as one
of exceptional setbacks. Of all the
leading Eastern teams. Harvard alone
continued her successful career un
checked by defeating Brown.
The game in New Haven was the
same old story of a Princeton team
with but one line of play, which, when
it went wrong, upset the whole com
bination and sent the Tigers back to
an individual game in which even the
fundamentals of football were forgot
ten. Even Captain Baker fumbled the
ball at critical moments, and only his
splendid feat In kicking a field goal
from the 42 -yard line caused him to rise
above the mediocre playing of his team
mates.
Yale failed to win because of fum
bles and poorly-conceived play in criti
cal moments.
Pennsylvania went the way of other
Eastern elevens which have clashed
with Western teams, for Michigan de
feated the Quakers by a score of 13
to 0. Coach Yost "rubbed in" the de
feat on the Eastern representatives by
beating them with the Eastern game.
Michigan has defeated Pennsylvania,
Cornell and Syracuse, while Notre Dame
has overthrown both Penn State and
the Army, so that those who believe
that the football play of the Middle
Western colleges is not equal to that
of the average Eastern team will have
to rearrange their opinions.
For the first time this season the
Army team has received an encourag
ing report from Annapolis after a game
in which the Navy has been a con
testant. In Penn State the Middies
found an opponent able to check their
powerful rushes, and the Navy players
had to work hard for every one of the
10 points scored by touchdown and field
goal. Meanwhile, the Army was rolling
up 55 points against the strong Villa
nova team.
Army and Navy have two weeks to
get into condition for their meeting
here.
EAST BOWS TO WEST'S GAME
Wisconsin Only Barrier in Way of
Chicago and Championship
CHICAGO, Nov. 16. Middle Western
football reached its climax Saturday.
Michigan again demonstrated its supe
riority over the East. Chicago won
the Western conference championship
in its game with Minnesota. Nebraska
won irom Kansas in the Missouri Val
ley conference. The three victories
were clear cut and decisive.
xnere sun is a possiDUity or a con
ference anti-climax. Chicago still has
a game with Wisconsin, last year's
Western leaders. Missouri still is a
contender for equal hdnors with Ne
braska in the Missouri Valley. Ne
braska, also, to keep its record of a
year's unbroken . victories, must win
from Iowa, although this game has no
title bearing.
Michigan can rest on its honors, the
final whistle of the game with Penn
sylvania ending the season for the
Wolverines. Michigan's four final
games of the season, in which it
whipped decisively one Southern and
three Eastern teams, is the best show-
lng of a Western team in lntersectional

Washington took away about $1800 and
Oregon $2000.
Managers Horr and Walker left
Portland yesterday, well pleased with
the way the game was conducted.
"Manager Walker is one of the best
men it has been my pleasure to deal
with," said Mr. Horr, of Washington,
last night. ' "Of course there were
questions on which we had different
views. They were all settled quickly
and I think the University of Oregon
is lucky to have a man of Walker's
caliber to handle the finances of tie
game for them.
"Everything in connection with our
visit to Portland was so agreeable
that I am going to pull to have our next
game with Oregon played in Portland."
' Coach Bender and his Washington
State College warriors passed through
Portland yesterday from Corvallls,
where the Oregon Aggies defeated the
Washington Aggies, 10 to 2.
Bender says the officiating at the
game was not as good as it might have
been and that official blunders robbed
his team of several points.
"The Oregon Aggies have a good
team. The Corvallls boys knew con
siderably more football than I gave
them credit for," said Bender. "How
ever, my team played one of the poor
est games of the calendar. The boys
never did get started right.
At times the Washington team
showed its true color, especially when
It started a chain of forward passes
which the Oregon Aggies could not
break up. One such occasion hap
pened In the first half, but the timer s
whistle kept us from scoring."
MICHIGAN MEN CELEBRATE
Alumni Hold Banquet to Mark Alma
Mater's Triumph Over Pennsy.
The University of Michigan Alumni
Association of Oregon held its annual
banquet Saturday night at ths Univer
sity Club on the occasion of the annual
gridiron struggle between "Mighty
Michigan" and "Pensive Pennsy." As
Michigan defeated the University of
Pennsylvania at Ann Arbor yesterday
with a score of 13 to 0, this added much
to the enthusiasm of the banqueters.
James Ij. Conley acted as toastmaster
and toasts were responded to by many
alumni. Songs and cheers of Michigan
were given with enthusiasm.
The following oGlcers have been
elected: President, James L. Conley;
vice-president. C. C. Hall; secretary.
Junius V. Ohmart; treasurer, Walter E.
Lambert.
More than 400 alumni of Michigan
live in Oregon, and more than half of
these are residents of Portland. Plans
are being made to develop it into one
of the strongest organizations of its
kind in tho country.
Those present at the banquet last
night were: James A. Allen, W. C An

This five-shot repeater has speed and
power plus. It is speedy because, being
reloaded by the recoil of the fired cartridge,
it can be shot and reloaded by simply pull
ing 4he trigger. It is powerful because it
handles a cartridge of the most modern
type one that strikes a blow of 2038 pounds.
The combination of such power with the
rapidity of fire which this rifle is capable of,
makes it unusually desirable for hunting

The Washington High School second
team downed the Jefferson High sec
onds, 6 to 0, on the Jefferson grounds
Saturday. Lapham scored the only
touchdown of the day. Brosy was the
shining light of the day for the losers.

The Ladd Grammar School team was
beaten by the Chapman eleven, 6 to 0,
on the Sellwood grounds Thursday.
The only score came as a result of a
fumble which rolled over the losers'
goal Una and Leach fell on it. The
game may have to be played over be
cause of a ruling by the referee which
has been questioned. Stuart, Jackson
and Winters starred for the Ladd play
ers, with Leach, Noonan and Bater do
ing the heavy work for the winners.
In a one-side basketball game the
Christian Brothers Business College
five downed the team from the Port
land School of Trades, 84 to 4, on the
college gymnasium floor Thursday. All
the points scored by tho losers were
made on fouls. Captain Sieberts on the
winners scored 20 field baskets, while
his teammate registered 10 and 5 free
throws. The winners will go to Mount
Angel to play the team of that col
lege December 8 during the Christmas
vacation. Thursday's contest was but
a practice game.
As yet the Lincoln High players who
were left in Spokane last Saturday by
Coach Borleske have failed to come out
for practice, and unless they make
their appearance on the fild the first
of next week the chances of the Lin
