OREGON SHOWING ALARMS
ConviH, Francis and Keck Changed

' More Weight Than Usual. (
With the annual Thanksgiving pame
between the Multnomah Club and the
University of Oregon less than one
week distant. Winged M officials In
alarm have ordered a complete over
hauling: of the lineup, and this switch
will be tried out for the first time
tomorrow against a strong team from
Vancouver Barracks.
Ever since Oregon battled the cham
pion University of Wa&hlngton to a
10-7 score, there has existed a feel
ing of trepidation In the scarlet and
white camp. That Oregon would en
ter the game a heavy favorite unless
srmething was done to give the club
men greater scoring efficiency has been
iroely admitted everywhere.
In the three big games thus far
Multnomah has scored but two touch
downs, the first game against the Ore.
gori Aggies having been won on two
placements by Walter Keck, 6-0. The
other scores were Multnomah Club 7,
Oregon Aggies 7, and Multnomah 7,
Washington State 0.
Driving Power Needed.
Against Oregon's heavy line the club
will need more driving power than has
been displayed.
Hence. "Dad" Convlll, the Utah and
Purdue ex-fullback star, has been
switched from his customary place at
tackle to full, and Francis from end
to a halfback position. Captain Keck,
in turn, moving from fullback to the
other half. With Rodes at quarter
tiis would seem to give Multnomah
a backfleld with beef, speed and
punch. Anyway, Saturday will show.
Convill weighs 200 pounds, Francis
1S5, Keck 170 and Rodes, the latter
an Annapolis star, 170 pounds.
Striebig and McRae, ex-backs, will
take care of one of the wing posi
tions, with Hlckson, veteran, and
Plxlee, late of the University of Mis
souri, at the other extremity. Phil-
brook, the famous Notre Dame and
Olvmoic star, has been moved from
guard to tackle and Bailey, for four
yearj all-star tackle at tne university
of Oregon, will station his 240 pounds
of brawn at the other tackle.
Soldiers Train for Fray.
The Vancouver soldiers .have been
primping faithfully to give Multnomah
a fierce battle. The khaki lads recently
received substantial additions to their
squad from the returned Philippine
companies. They always give Multno
mah a hard game and if they do as
well as the Bremerton sailors it will
mean a tough tussle.
Thlfl mm will start ft t 2R0 o'clock.
but will be preceded by a battle be
tween the Multnomah Club second
team and the strong St. James Club,
of Vancouver, at 1:30 o'clock.
The soldiers are heavier than usual.
Their line averages a little better than
172 pounds.

the Multnomah Club by H. S. Goodland.
Goodland was given a handicap of 3.
This does not end the tourney, for If
Mikkleson defeats W. S. Walter, he
will be tied with Goodland again.
The straight billiard tourney will be
started with a good list of entries.
Nineteen had signed up last night and
before the week is over a dozen or
more likely will enter.
The handball tournament for the sin

CONFERENCE TO WIN
Willamette Expected to Join
Big League This Year.
MAIN OBJECTION REMOVED
Strength of If ear by Teams Urged as
Possible Cause for Staying Out,
hut President Homan Is Said
to Favor Change.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem.
Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) 'To be or not
to be" an applicant for admission into
the Northwest college conference, com
posed of the State Universities of Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, the Agricul
tural Colleges from - the two former
states and Whitman College, of Walla
Walla, Wash., Is- the question being
threshed out by the students of Wil
lamette. Last year this same problem was be
fore the students who settled at last
by a majority vote of the student body,
and a small one at that, to remain
outside the charmed circle for another
year at least.
Reasons given last year by the major
ity of those voting against the confer
ence entrance proposition were that of
the increased expense and also that as
the loss of football players in the June
graduation class would be unusually
heavy, the time to enter the conference
was inopportune.
This year, on account of the football
team being made up largely of players
who will remain at Willamette next
year or longer and as there will be at
least one good man who has acted as
understudy this season, one of the ob
jections most prominently mentioned
last year is now advanced, namely, that
of increased expense incurred by pay-
ng out heavier guarantees than in the
past.
Larger Receipts Considered.
Many of those favoring admission
into the conference admit the feature
of the Increased expense involved in
arranging these games, but declare that
many more will attend a high-grade
contest, such as a conference game. It
is also argued that a considerable In
crease in admission prices might be
asked on account of the corresponding
increse in merit, without diminishing
the attendance. It is admitted by all.
however, that no one can tell In ad
vance how the attendance at confer
ence games In Salem would be.
One factor which is Influencing many
students here to favor conference ad
mission is that Willamette at present
cannot get games outside of the confer
ence with college teams in Its class.
This is due to th- 'act that the Salem
school is stronge- nan in the past or
the other teams wu.-.ker, or very likely
both these conditions are -operative. In
1908 the Willamette football team lost
football games to three Northwest non
conference colleges, but with the be
ginning of the next year the Metho
dists have drawn further and further
SPORT -NEWS
JACK JOHNSON always was a lucky
man. The . latest story of how
things used to turn to gold for
him is in connection with finger-betting.
On many of the racetracks it Is the
custom of betting men to raise their
hands In token of -r-,-
acceptance of a bet. ft
It holds in traca r,
po ols, chicken
fights and other
snorts.
Jack went to the I
races at Fleming-
ton, on the course
near Melb o u r n e,
Australia, where
the famous Mel
bourne cup race Is
run.
Jack thought the
aookmakers were
Jaclc Johnson
saluting him as he went through the
ring and raised his hand each time he
saw some man raise his. After the
race was over he found out that he
had been making bets all the whi'a and
the bookmakers called him over and
paid off wagers amounting to close to
$5000, on Comic King, a hot favorite.
The system prevails among men who
are known to each other and all of
them know Jack Johnson, even though
he was not acquainted with their sys
tem. Along with, this bettinff talk, a

away from their old-time rival until
now there is little comparison between
them.
Objections Are Raised.
The position of Willamette from the
standpoint of location has both Its
advantages and disadvantages. Within
every reach of the State University and
the Agricultural College the expense
involved in games with these would
be small, but dn the other hand, both
the nearest Institutions are two of the
most powerful athletic Institutions
among the Northwest colleges and this
would operate somewhat against Wil
lamette's best showing, as the two
nearby schools would be played always.
In the past the conference colleges on
the western border of the circuit have
been generally stronger in football than
those to the east.
There is little doubt but that If Wll
lamette enters the conference her team
would become stronger as the new po
sltlon would draw athletic material Into
the fold.
Anyhow, It looks as If Willamette
would make application for conference
entrance on December 5, when the dele
gates convene In Portland. The "W"
Club, the strongest undergraduate or
ganlzatlon at Willamette, has voted
solidly for entrance. It Is known that
President Homan Is not oppoeed to con
ference entrance. Dr. Homan is the
leading champion of intercollegiate ath
letics here and his attitude on this
question would be given the greatest
deference by the students.
In a few-days a vote of the student
body will be taken In order fully to
determine final action.

GILM0UR DOBIE CRITICISED
Roscoe Kawcett Says Only Sharper
Action hy Officials Can Prevent
- Coach, hy Subtle Movements,
From Coaching Players.'
BY JtOSCOE FAWCETT.
In the East there now remain only
three big football games of the 1913
season. On Saturday Harvard and
Yale clash In the Crimson stadium In
what promises to be a wonderful duel.
Thanksgiving day Cornell will attempt
to redeem a season of disasters against
Penn and two days later the Army and
Navy meet In their , annual battle, this
Fall on the Polo Grounds in New York
City. '
The greatest Interest attaches nat
urally to the Harvard-Yale game. Yale
has had a rather mediocre season; all
excepting the- 8-3 tie with- Princeton.
Harvard, on the other hand, has en'
joyed a great year and wishes to dem
onstrate that the Blue is not Invincible
at Cambridge.
Away back In 1901 Harvard' beat
Yale 22-0 and the Crimson is out to
beat that mark If possible.
Harvard coaches, however, are not
so optimistic as the students. J. Wes
ley Ladd, of Portland, received a tele
gram from Hamilton Corbett, one of
the coaching staff at Harvard, the
night previous to the Yale-Princeton
game and the local official said sub
stantially as follows:
"Betting here is 5-3 on Princeton
against Yale. If Yale defeats Prince
ton the odds should be even on the
Harvard-Yale game. Things here are
not so rosy as they have been painted.
Mr.. Corbett likely recalls the tie
three years ago, when Yale, weaker
even than now, rallied and held Har
vard to a 0-0 scoreless tie.
At the same time Harvard should
win decisively.
Of the 33' games to date Yale has
been most successful, winning 22 con
tests. Harvard has won but six and
the rest have been ties. The results
of the series to date are as follows:
1875 Harvard 4 goals, Yale 0.

Gilmour Doble's coaching from the
sidelines during the Oregon-Washing
ton game Saturday was so coarse that
hundreds of spectators noted it and
the sporting editor's desk has been
littered with protests ever since. The
following is a. sample:
'Sporting Editor Now that the foot
ball season is drawing to a close would
it not be possible to start a movement
to keep the coaches off the sidelines
during the games? Cannot some pro
vision be made for keeping the coaches
in the grandstand during play?
After Coach Dobie s action on the
sidelines Saturday, when he coached
his players continually by some move
ment of the hand or body, I think some
notice should be paid this feature. Per
haps before many years the rules com
mittee will fix the matter. Yours truly.
"A SPECTATOR."
Coaching from the sidelines is prac
ticed to a greater or lesser degree by
all football coaches, but generally so
slyly as to escape both officials and
spectators.
There is no remedy, however, except
penalization and - closer scrutiny by
the officials. There must necessarily
be one representative from each team
on the side lines to attend to injuries
and the coach, of course, will always
horn in under that technicality.
As for relegating tha coaches to the
grandstand, that is absurd. The
coaches are needed on the field to di
rect the substitutions and to prevent
over-exhaustion on the part of the
players.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. Or., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Hope for a second game between
the University of Oregon and Oregon
Agricultural College has disappeared
with the announcement of Bezdek's ul
timatum regarding a game next Satur
day or none at all. Dr. Stewart de
clares that there is no possibility vt
a game unless Oregon changes its atti
tude toward a post-season contest. A
game Saturday is out of the question.
Interest now centers in . a pro
posal to send the Corvallis team South
to San Francisco for a game to be
played with the Pastime Club of that
city. An offer has. been received by
1?-. Stewart from Ray Partridge, man
ager of the Pastlmers. suggesting a
game on December 6 or 11, either In
Corvallis or San Francisco. If the
California players are willing to pay
a large enough guarantee and the Cor
vallis faculty does not Interfere, it is
probable that the team will make the
trip. Members of the team, although
anxious for the California trip, are
not willing to let It interfere with a
possible Oregon game.
Coach Stewart Is sending his boys
through a stiff scrimmage with the
freshmen every night In preparation
for the Idaho game Thanksgiving Day.
May, Hofer, Abraham and Robertson
have been on the sidelines all week.
May and Hofer are still suffering from
the Albany game and Abraham is ill.
Billy has been shifted to the back
field, his end position being taken by
Larsen. Hayes and Schuster are play

Smith and Smart are In the line.
