CONTEST IS FIERCE BUT CLEAN Victory Not Entirely Due to Bulk and Bad Gridiron. FAVORITES HARD TO PICK Crowd of 3000 Watches Battle Re tumbling Cross Between Foot ball and Water Polo Rival 1 Players Feast Together. I BT ROSCOB FAWCETT. fReferee Multnomah vi Oregon Game.) Slashing around In puddles of mud and water, most of the time In a driv ing rain. Multnomah's herculean foot ball men tramped, swam and waded over the lighter. University of Oregon eleven yesterday for three touchdowns and their 14th victory In 20 Thanksgiv ing day games. The score was: Multnomah Club 19, Oregon 0. Reader, If you have never gazed upon a footDall game In a sea of mud and shavings, you have something coming to you ere you depart this mundane existence. It resembled a cross be tween football and water polo. Rain fell for. several hours prior to the amphibian engagement and It sure ly Hooded down In copious' Quantities between the hours of 2:45 and 4 o'clock. I'nlforraa Quickly Splotched. One play after the rival teams trotted on the field, attired in eplck end span new uniforms, features and form alike were entirely obliterated. Occasionally a. torn Jersey revealed a spot of white underneath. But the white shone only for a minute. Continued squalls and the lack of sunshine kept the crowd to about 3000, the smallest in years. This was di vided Into two main classes., newspaper men and football bugs, and even 3000 Is quite a testimonial to the profuse ness of the latter, for It Is a safe bet a good many of the newspapermen usually on the side lines dodged the Issue. Clubmen forced to Battle. Despite the apparent one-sidedness of the score. Multnomah had to battle hard and fiercely for everything it got, with Halfback Francis and Fullback Convilfo plunging and ripping In oft tackle formations like bull buffaloes In a favorite wallow. Oregon fought a game fight. Hugo Bezdek's scrappers tore and lunged at the huge hulks from whistle to whistle, but tbe soft underfootlng robbed the collegians of their shifti ness. Twice the dynamic Parsons. scrapping, squirming, twisting for very inch, worked himself entirely clear of all tacklers, only to slip and skid for yards like a puck on a sheet of ice In a game of hockey. Speed Counts for Little. Malarkey and Cornell tried lneffect ually to corkscrew their way between the clubmen giants, but In such weather nlmbleness of foot availed little. The outcome Is a reminder of Napoleon's famous characterization of the in ftuence of the deity In warfare: "God," exclaimed the Corslcan conqueror, "Is always on the side of the heavier bat talions." There was Just one time, soon after the second quarter opened, and when the score stood 6-0, that the Oregon team seriously threatened the Mult nomah goal. Stung by Multnomah's touchdown, Malarkey, Parsons and Bryant flung themselves against the ecarlet and white barrier in despera tlon and worked the ball to the club's 20-yard line. Slippery Ball Fnmbled. Three times Parsons catapulted at Keek's legion. Once he was piled up by Philbrook, with the loss of a yard. On the third try the ball, as slippery es a peeled plum, squirted through Johnny's fingers, but .Oregon recov ered. Then on the fourth down, with yards to go. Quarterback "Cornell called for a place kick and Carl Fen ton dropped back with his muddy toe primed for action. Caufield shot the ball back to the Oregon midget, squat ting to receive it. As Fenton dasned forward, the Multnomah defenses, first and secondary, closed in to block the propulsion. But Fenton's toe struck empty air. As he kicked Cornell picked up the ball, and, running be hind Fenton, circled wide around his left side of the field. Five, 10. 15 yards he dashed before being forced out of bounds and thrown headlong by a desperate tackier under the very eaves of the grandstand. It was the same trick play which saved Oregon against the Oregon Aggies at Albany, only instead of a touchdown Cornell advanced the ball to the V-yard line. Forward Pass Falls. Multnomah showed mettle at this Juncture. Parsons, called on In the emergency, tore into the left side of the line first. but O'Rourke, the big Minnesota tackle who played a dashing game, toppled him back for a loss. Then he tried the right side and maae three yards. On the third attempt somebody Concluded on Pus 18,) UQ DINNERS BY MAIL FEATURE OF DAY 20-POCXD TURKEY FOR 24 CEXTS POSTAGE ATTRACTS.

Bas kets, bounteously laden with all the goodies of the season, found their way to the households where poverty, sick ness and misfortune made Thanksgiv ing luxuries Impossible were it not for the generosity and thoughtf ulness of those distributing the gifts. The grownups had fine dinners and splendid entertainment; they went to matinees and football games or to "Jap pyland," or were feted by f rlendsand relatives; the poorest men and women of the city were remembered, but to none of these could possibly have come the Joy that the little children knew Thanksgiving was the one day In all the year when they were allowed to eat all they could, regardless of. indi gestion.

HIGH AIM FREELY CONCEDED United States Not Self-Seeking, Says High Chancellor. . CUBA CITED AS INSTANCE Wilson's Policy Interpreted as Mean ing United States Is Willing to Accept Responsibility in Neighbor Countries. LONDON, Nov. 27. The Thanksgiv ing dinner of the American Society here tonight was noteworthy because of the pronouncement of the British government's indorsement of the Mon roe doctrine by Viscount Haldane, lord high chancellor. Three hundred and fifty American men and women, Willi a large number of British guests, were present, and they cheered Lord Ilal dane's words again and again. Robert N. Fairbanks, president or the society, proposed "The King," and Lord Haldane proposed "The President of the United States." "I recently made a visit to - the United States," Lord Haldane said, "and came back not only with a vivll recollection of the cordial'wekome ; received, but with a deep sense of the high ideals the British and Aniertea.ii nations hold in common the high ideals of citizenship of the two coun tries." Policy Aot of Conquest. Referring to the President, he said: 'Before he became President, Mr. Woodrow Wilson was a thinking man and a moralist. In studying his ca reer I find that he has not ceased to be a thinker and a moralist because he has become the holder of a great office. It is not his expressed declara tion that the policy of the United States is not one of conquest or annexation, but the world looks to the United States with its enormous position and posses sions to carry on Its traditions without adding to its possessions. , "That Is our course, also; nor is it the case that when the United States, Intervenes in any matter It Is done for its own advantage. It was not the case with Cuba, to which the United States restored Independence. England Itself has done the same thing in South Africa, where we gave back liberty to those with whom we fought." High Aim Conceded. Speaking of the Monroe doctrine, he said that the United States considered Herself responsible for the liberties of the small nations of that hemisphere. He could see what was in the mind of the President of that time that the responsibility rested with the United States to secure good government and fair treatment for those countries. He Interpreted President Wilson's policy to mean that the United States was ready to accept tho responsibility of insuring good terms herself in those countries and to those who went there, and that the United States should sec up high ideals of policy, of justice and of righteousness. "I am not sure that anyone should speculate on the interpretation of that policy, ' continued the high chancellor, "but I have thought myself at liberty to say what I have. It is true, in deed, that a high spirit and a high aim have been brought into the policy of the United States in its dealings with adjacent countries,' and It is be cause the President has taken the at titude he has a step which none can out admire, whatever its consequence may be that 1 propose good health to Mr. Woodrow Wilson, the President, and Mr. Woodrow Wilson, the man." l'aKe Telia of JUifficulrlea. Sir John A. Simon, the attorney general, proposed tho health of the American ambassador, Walter H. Page, and declared him to be the worthy successor of his predecessors. He said: "America and England have given their best and their worst to each other. America has sent us rag time; wo have sent you militant suffrag ettes." . Mr. 'Page referred to the warm re ception which the American ambassa dor had received in England and whiuh he knew was a tribute to his country. Speaking of the difficulties of his of fice, he said that when the ambassador referred to the debt which Acierlci owed England, American citizens of Irish, German, Polish and Lithuanian blood gathered to adopt resolutions de nouncing him. Referring to Lord Hal dane's speech, he said: . , "The American Nation Is not one whit afraid to follow its bent to the utmost length. The lord chancellor has spoken of doing what Is righteous without regard to consequences. There are no consequences." he concluded em phatically. Peace Centenary Referred To. Lord Klutore spoice of the comiic celebration of the centennary of peace Detween the two nations. He said he hoped it would eventually be followed by the celebration of the mlllenium of peace, but those arranging the centen nary celebration intended that none which might follow it would be more noteworthy.
