12 THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 2S, 1915. OREGON IS DOPED TO BEAT Three Teams Resting Today in Northwest Confer ence Football. GONZAGA TO PLAY DOBIE Dobie's Dictatorial Methods Are At tacked and Reason for Spurn- -ing Washington State Is Made Known by Records. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. Two games comprise today's col legiate football morsels in the Pacific Northwest. The University of Oregon will tackle Whitman College at Walla "Walla in the only conference battle. -while, at Spokane, Gcnzaga College will play host to the University of Wash ington. Idaho and Washington State CJollege are resting up preparatory to thedr an nual mix at Moscow . for the Inland Empire championship next Saturday. The Oregon Aggies soon are off on their record marathon hike back .to East Lansing. Mich., where a bunch of Wol verine Farmers strong of limb and huge in stature will endeavor to show them a few tricks about Middle West ern football. So, summing up. three of the confer ence teams will be striving this after noon and three will be at peace with the world. The Whitman-Oregon clash at "Walla Walla will be largely a clash of Port land lnterscholastlo talent against for mer teammates "dog eat dog," as it were. When Vincent Borleske went from the coachshlp at Lincoln -High to Whitman he pulled four or five of his ex-high school stars along with him, and on the Oregon side of tlie scrim mage line several of the boys are local graduates, among them Beckett, Ris ley, Malarkey, Tuerck and Cornell. Although the dope points to an Ore- iron victory, this game is sure to be close and hard-fought. Borleske is a good coach and he now has had suf ficient time to instill his own fight into his players. The Oregon Aggies de feated Whitman 34-7. but the Mission aries held Multnomah Club to a 6-0 score, and that shows possibilities. The Spokane game between Washing ton and Gonzaga ought to set an at tendance mark for Seattle and Portland to shoot at. The town seems to be all excited over this first chance to see Dobie's crew since 1912, when Wash ington gave Idaho a terrible drubbing at Natatorium Park. Gonzaga is coached by "Wee" Coyle, a former Dobie quarterback, and ought to give the Purple and Gold a fairly fitaunch tussle. Coyle has several Spo kane high boys and a lot of other high school graduates from Wenatchee, Coeur d'Alene and other Inland Empire towns. While his team will be out weighed about ten pounds, most of the Catholics are fighting Irishmen, and Washington should not score more than 20 points. mm This trip of the Washington team to Spokane to meet Gonzaga gives fur ther evidence of Washington's dic tatorial policy in the Northwest Con ference. Only twice since 1900 has Washington taken turns with Wash ington State College and played on the eastern side of the mountains. .'. Yet, when Washington State asked that Washington play in Spokane this year Coach Dobie gave the Pullmanites the Arctic stare, scratched them off the rchedule entirely for their temerity, and then later took on Gonzaga. Dobie did not do this because he feared Washington State more than Gonzaga. "Washington beat Washington State something like 46-0 last Turkey day. He npurned the Aggies simply to show them that he was boss in the confer ence. , , Here is the table showing how Wash ington has hogged all the games for its Iiorne lot: U.W. W.S.C. 190O At Seattle 5 a 3ol At Pullman 0 lu 3 We.' At Seattle 17 o 31HIH At Seattle . ll 0 31M)4 At Seattle 12 ti rllKfo No game. 31Ott No ame.

Whitman's record would look-' even worse and Idaho can boast of only four fames on the other side of the range in 3 7 years, two of them being Idaho vic tories. The Oregon Aggies played four Mralght years at Seattle before Dr. K. I. Stewart hove into view in 1913 and made Washington alternate. It was the Aggies' turn to play in Seattle this year, but Washington refused to give the Aggies the same cut in the student Tickets that they received last year at the 0-0 Albany game. As a result of this selfish policy on the part of the Washington officials. Whitman Is the only conference team It will meet this year. There has been ome talk of a post-season matinee bet-ween Washington and Washington ttate granting that the latter wins from Idaho and Whitman, as seems Jikely. Pullman alumni spiked this move at a dinner in Spokane the other Tiight. An effort will be made, how- ver, to have Washington recede from iia bull-necked stand and play the Jiosts of Dietz at Spokane next Fall. ,-. If Washington goes through its (tchedule unsullied, defeating California end Whitman, Seattle will claim the Voast championship, and yet Washing ton State seems lined up strongly for the Northwest Conference title. As Newt Colver. of the Spokane Fnokesman-Review. remarks: "Wash ington will be champion of Seattle, any way, and. if Seattle folk are to be be lieved, that is some honor." MINNESOTA CAPTAIN STAYS Solon Optimistic as to Outcome ot Professional Baseball Charges. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 22. Professor E. P. Hadding. the representative of the Vniverelty of Minnesota, who went to Montana to investigate charges that l.oren Solon had been guilty of play ing professional baseball last Summer, liad not returned to Minneapolis last night, it was declared. Solon, the captain of the University football eleven, was in a happy frame f mind when his men went into prac tice with the freshmen' late this after noon. He occupied hi eregular posi tion on the team and, according to campus gossip. Jt was probable that he would be in the lineup In the game with Iowa Saturday. f. V. A. OFFICIAL SOON" I.E.WES Registration Committee Chairman Will Go East In November. Edgar E.

BERKELEY PLAYS TODAY SOUTHERX CALIFORNIA ELEVEN TO BE FOE IN FIRST BIG GAME. Plan to Clinch Pacific Coast Champion. hip by Washington Contest Is i Threatened With Upset. The University of California football eleven will play the first of its two important games of the 1915 season, when it lines up this afternoon on the California field at Berkeley against the team of the University of Southern California. Added interest attaches to the result of this game for the fol lowing reasons: The University of California's "big game" is scheduled with the University of Washington for November 6. The winner between these two institutions has announced that" it will clinch the championship, of 'the Pacific Coast. The University of ' Southern California pro poses to step in and upset this plan, and so would Washington State Col lege, perhaps, if given a date. The University .of Southern Califor nia team has been under the tutelage of Ralph Glaze, a former Dartmouth star. Games of lesser importance on the Pacific Coast " are Stanford vs. Palo Alto Athletic Club, at Palo Alto; Po mona vs. University of. Arizona, at Claremont; University of Oregon vs. Whitman at Walla Walla. SCRAP EXDS TH KILLING GAME Camas Eleven, by Brilliant Play, Trims Hood River, 3 to 2. HOOD RIVER. Or., Oct. 22. (Spe cial.) Reaching the climax of a near free-for-all fight at one time, and with many brilliant plays by both aggre gations, the football game this after noon between the high school of this city and Camas. Wash., was one of the most exciting ever seen here. A few moments after the close of the game, which resulted in a score of 3 to 2 in favor of Camas, the captain of the Hood River team, Malcolm Button, sustained a dislocated shoul der. The fight began with a mix between players of the two teams. Spectators began rushing to the scene when Coach Grout, formerly a University of Ore gon player, of the local high school, made endeavors to clear the field. Charles Hart, a Hood River man. and Grout became invoiced in an alterca tion when Allen Hart, a night police man, took his brother's part. He made a pass at the coach, who landed on him with a blow that ended the scrap, signed by the three high schools tha SPORT Wliite Sox Not Coming West in 1916. CHICAGO, Oct. 22. The Chicago American League will establish a train ing camp in Florida next Spring In stead of making the annual trip to California. Ocalo, a town half way between Jacksonville and Tampa, it was announced today, probably will be tha placa chosen for the camp. llBIIISlilillll EAST'S BIG ELEVENS FACE TESTS TODAY Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Pennsy and Army in Critical Contests. BIG CROWDS ARE EXPECTED Cornell Has Excellent Chance to Break Long String of Defeats in Contest With Crimson Warriors. ' Interest in Play Is High. Although the football season has just crossed the midway mark, the leading Eastern elevens will face today one of the most dangerous stages of their play. Harvard. Princeton, Tale, Cornell. Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and the Army are all called upon to meet op ponents capable of giving them batt'e far beyond the usual practice stand ard. Large assemblages are expected to witness the Harvard-Cornell game, at Cambridge; the Princeton-Dartmouth battle, at Princeton; the Pennsylvania Pittsburg contest, at Philadelphia; the Georgetown-Army game, at West Point, and the meeting between Yale and Washington and Jefferson, at New Haven. Cornell Plays nt Harvard. Cornell goes to Harvard for the eleventh game between the two univer sities since 1890, and the Ithaca team has an excellent chance to break the long string of defeats that has been its portion. The present Cornell eleven one of the best in the history of football at Ithaca, having weight, strength, speed and much veteran ma terial. The battle between Dartmouth and Princeton a year ago was thrilling, and there is every reason to expect another great football struggle, when the teams meet today. Princeton has a well-balanced team. ! Rtrnnor on both' offenslVA and defen sive, several individual stars and an excellent plan of campaign. The ful" measure of Dartmouth's strength has not been tested this Fall. Second Victory Is Donbtfnl. Washington and Jefferson defeated Yale a year ago, 13 to 7, and returns to New Haven hoping to duplicate the feat. It may be that the Pennsylvania team will repeat, but the chances ap pear to be against a second victory. Yale is stronger than in 1914, while Washington and. Jefferson lost several of her best players by graduation last Spring. Pennsylvania will meet a team ex ceedingly proficient in aerial football when the Quakers line up 'againxt Pittsburg. Pennsylvania will have to be ever on the alert against this at tack and develop a more powerful scoring game than she has shown up to this time to hold the Pittsburg eleven in check. Army-Georgetown Game Interests. Followers of the United States Acad emy teams will watch with unusual in terest the outcome of the Army Georgetown game, for, three weeks ago, Georgetown defeated the Navy by a 9-to-0 score. Aside from the loss of the Prince ton match the Washington collegians have played winning football, whereas the cadets have won only one of the three games played since the season opened. The Navy plays Virginia Poly, and is not expected to be as hard pressed as the Army. The day also will be notable for the return of the Columbia University to the football arena after a 10-year ban on the game at that institution.' Columbia, which opens its 1915 schedule with a contest against St. Lawrence University, played its last previous game at the end of the 1906 season. Tomorrow's football schedule in the Middle West includes the following games: At Chicago, Purdue vs. Chicago. At Madison, Ohio State vs. Wiscon sin. At Minneapolis, Iowa vs. Minnesota. At Champaign, Northwestern vs. Illi nois. At Lincoln, Notre Dame vs. Nebraska. At Ann Arbor, Mich., Aggies vs. Michigan. TIGERS WIN FIRST TITLE GAME South Tacoma in 4 th Beats Cleve land Xine in Championship Series. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 22. The South Tacoma (Wash.) Tigers defeated the White Autos, of Cleveland. O., here to day in the first game of a series of three for the amateur baseball cham pionship of the world, excluding inter collegiate games. The game was close ly contested, no runs being scored after the fourth frame, when Tacoma. bunched two hits and sent across the deciding tally in a 3-to-2 score. Eley, in the lists for Tacoma, wob bled in, the third inning, and the East erners took full advantage of his tem porary lapse. Three hits were turned into two runs. From this point Eley had his opponents at his mercy. Crowley, for Cleveland, pitched a splendid game, allowing only six hits. Browne, Tacoma's shortstop, played the stellar role In base-running and field ing. Tomorrow the teams will clash again at Ewing Field, and the final game will be played on Sunday in Oakland.

BAKER PLAYS WEISER TO TIE Listless Football Game Is Brought to Close Scoreless. BAKER, Or.. Oct. 22. (Special.) Baker and.Weiser High School elevens played a scoreless game before a good sized crowd at the Valley-avenue grounds this afternoon. WeiSer's su perior weight kept Baker from scoring, while Baker's teamwork was respon sible for its defense. Baker led the offensive all the time and often threatened the visitors' goal, getting the ball to the 10-yard line several times, but was unable to buck it across the line. Captain Keown. of the home team, was the star, making many long runs. The game as a whole was listless with some excite ment in the last half caused by Baker's frequent end runs. AGGIES LIMP TO FIELD CRIPPLED TEAM IS GRINDING FOR TRIP TO MICHIGAN SUNDAY. Real Game With Scrubs Today WU1 Decide Personnel ef Squad That Will Make Journey. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Oct. 22. (Special.) It is a badly bruised, battered and gen erally decrepit bunch of athletes that Doc Stewart has this week been guid ing through the final preparations for the trip to Michigan. A rousing demon stration is planned for the departure. The personnel of the squad that will make the trip has not been definitely decided. A real game with full formal ities will be played tomorrow morning with the scrubs furnishing the opposi tion, and the showing made by some of the doubtful men In that affair will seal their fate as far as the football situation, in Michigan is concerned. Injuries .were few during the early season, but they have been coming in showers during the past two weeks and the hospital squad is assuming alarming, proportions. Eleven are inca pacitated from real work by injuries. Allen, halfback; Bissett, center and end: King, guard; Brooke, guard, and "Pete" Anderson, veteran center, who is now starring in a new role at tackle, are the tonsolitis victims. -Hoerline, now an important cog in the backfield since the removal of Captain. Billie to end, has a badly injured knee. Hofer, tackle and guard, and Moist, end, have severely battered elbows and appear with the injured members deep ly swathed in bandages to prevent per manent injuries. Abraham has not yet recovered from a strained neck. It would puzzle the most far-sighted dopester, .after the many combinations effected this week, to figure out tne Aggie battle front which will face the Middle West team a week from tomor row. Changes have been frequent in the lineup as Dr. Stewart endeavors to overcome weak points. OREGON FRESHIES READY SQUAD OF 25 MAKES TRIP TO COR VALLIS TODAY. 'Hour" Holslna-ton Is Chosen Captain of Team That Will Clash .With Aggie "Froih" Eleven. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 22. (Special.) Oregon freshmen were paced through their final set of signal drills tonight, prior to the game with the Aggie rooks in Cor vallis tomorrow, and were sent to the gymnasium with instructions to re port at the Oregon Electric depot at 7:35 o'clock tomorrow morning, suit cases labeled "Corvallis." Manager Roland Geary, of Portland, is taking the entire squad with him to morrow and the team which starts the game will be selected from a squad of 25 men, most of whom are participat ing in their first real football contest tomorrow. The lemon-yellow delegation is light and reports from the camp of the Aggie yearlings are that Coach Peavey's men are heavier and more experienced than the eleven which Geary is going to place under the guns. "Hosy" Hoisington. of Dallas, was chosen captain of the "frosh" team this evening. Hoisington has been playing fullback for his class all season and his work has been exceptional for a class team. Experience should move the Dallas man to a berth higher up within a season or two. Scrimmage failed to show any par ticular bright lights in the wearers of the green cap last night, and as a whole they are merely a team which is playing primary football for recrea tion other than varsity honors. The probable lineup: Cook and Wilson, ends; Madden and Mil ler, tackles; Downard, center; Morfitt, quar ter; Captain Hoisington, full, with Jensen and Mast, halves. A return game is to be played on the Oregon campus with the Aggie firet termers two weeks from tomorrow. . MAC NAMES ALL-STARS FIRST ONLY PLACES IN DOUBT. TWO MEN PUT THERE Manager Also Shows Up Charles Com Ishey, Who, He Says. Is "Simply Gold-Brlcklna- Coast Ltagne," LOS ANGELES. Oct. 22. (Special.) Walter McCredie today Btuck himself in that class that worries the life out of sporting editors, by picking "al star" teams of Cfiast League players. Mac says his team is a "world beater." They all say the same thing. But Mac has a good one. Here it is: Wolters, Bodie, Maggert and John son, outfield; Brief or Heilman, first: Gedeon, second; Corhan, short; Bates, third; Schmidt and Spencer, catchers; Lush, Covaleskie, C. Williams, Love, Baum, Prough and Ryan, pitchers. Mac's only doubts are about first. He sticks both Brief and Heilman on because he can't decide. Besides doing this, Mac took a fall out of Charles Comiskey, the White Sox pilot. Comiskey is simply gold-bricking the Coast League," said he, "by coming out here, taking all of the coin and most of the players and then later sell ing back men that are not worth their railroad fare. Look at Manda. for whom Oakland must dig up $4000. Manda is nothing but a joke as a ball player. What good has,Scroggins done the Angels? Not a bit. I just paid $300 for a shortstop, Hollicker, of Keokuk. He's said to be a wonder. I'd rather buy my men that way than deal with Comiskey." Mac likes "Rush" Meadows, the local amateur who played right yesterday and today. "Rush" doubled in the first and got in the only run for the Beavers when Speas doubled. The f nlted States railroad mUeacs in 11S was 216.S1S. INDOOR GAff GOES Oregon Slashes Basketball Off List of Sports. MANY REASONS HOLD SWAY Long Trips, Financial Losses and Necessity for Period of Rest From Intercollegiate Athletics Some of Arguments Advanced. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Oct. 22. (Special.) Intercollegiate basketball has been abolished, for a time at least, from the list of major sports at the University of Oregon. A recommendation that intercol legiate basketball be suspended for the present season to investigate the ad vantages gained by enabling athletic directors to give their whole attention to the development of intramural sports during the Winter season passed today's assembly of instructors, and the popular indoor game was tossed from the circle of intercollegiate sports at the State University. For nearly 10 years bsaketball has been recognized at Oregon -as an inter collegiate activityan d varsity teams have been developed ty coaches. Long trips, financial losses and the necessity for the period of rest from lntercol legiate athletics were some of the argu ments advanced against basketball, and they carried the day. No Games Scheduled. Basketball has died a natural death as no games have been scheduled for the approaching season. When the faculty disposed of bas ketball it wound up a long investiga tion of the evils and advantages of in tercollegiate athletics. The official re port of the committee on investigation was discussed thoroughly and all phases directly pertaining to athletics argued finally settled. Baseball was not rorgotten as tne faculty argued pro and con. The Na tional game and its schedule was re stricted to contests with institutions west of the Cascade Mountains, with the exception of intersectional games against winning teams east of the mountains. It also was settled that any student participating in a student activity the term "activity" applying to debating, oratory and, in fact, any campus ac tivity other than the dictations of a scholastic schedule must pass in three-fourths of his work to be eligible to compote or participate in his outsido endeavors. . Rale Is Like Conference Act. This rule is identical to that held by the conference, with the exception that Oregon inserts the clause "and student" and distinguishes activities and ath letics. In addition, it was the will of the faculty that a student who had a total of eight hours of failure for two semesters' work would not be allowed to represent the university in an activity unless his delinquencies had been made up. By special request it was granted that the recommendation considering the advisability of requesting the board ot regents to make payment of the stu dent body tax voluntary, instead f compulsory, as at present. WHITMAX GAME IS ADVERTISED Students and Business Men Hae Noisy Street Parade. WALLA WALLA. Wash.; Oct. 22. (Special.) Business men and Whitman students united tonight in one of the noisiest parades and rallies in the his tory of the city, to advertise the Whitman-Oregon football game tomorrow. It is the only conference game of the year and the Commercial Club decided to help the students in arousing inter est. The Whitman team held light prac tice this afternoon. Tie men are in better condition than when the O. A. C. game was played and BorlesKe is hope ful of holding down the opponents. Hoover, last year's all-Northwest quarter, is playing at full this year and seems to fit more naturally into that position. He will start the game to morrow. McDonald, Bishop and Yedica, other members of the backheld, out of the last game, are in first-class condition and Cramp, Clark and Gensel, new men, have been showing up well, so that Borlesko has plenty to choose from for his behind-the-line squad. Cram or Yedica will go in as quar ter. Both ere freshmen. McDonald and Bishop ' are favored over Clark and Gensel for the halves on account of experiance. McDonald Is especially strong on defense. Clark and Gensel have had high and prep experience. YERXOX MAY BOX GUUMAN Match at Rose City Athletic Club Depends on Fans' Attitude. "Tex" Vernon, the clever feather weight, and Ralph Gruman, the Port land lightweight Pacific Coast cham pion, may be seen in an exhibition bout at the Rose City Athletic Club in tho near future. Vernon's manager sent word yesterday that he would like to have "Tex" meet Gruman here. Manager Fred Merrill, of the East Side club, said that the two boys should make a good exhibition despite the fact that Gruman might be a few pounds heavier than the Aberdeen boy. He also said that if boxing fans desired to see the boys in action against 'each other and satisfactory arrangements could be made the bout might be put on.

LAST PRACTICE IS HELD WHITMAN BOYS ABOUT READY FOR OREGON GAME. , Two Men Disqualified by Conditions, So Tessa Will Be Made lp Largely of Freshmen. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla. Wash., Oct. 22. (Special.) The Whit man College football men held their last hard workout last night, and out side of light signal practice today are ready for the same with the heavy University of Oregon team tomorrow. Coach Borleske has been working his men hard ever since the O. A. C. game, teaching them some of the fundamen tals of tackling and blocking. The lack of this knowledge, he says, was largely responsible for three of the scores made against them. Bishop and Clancy have failed to remove their conditions so that six men of the team which lines up against Oregon will be freshmen. This gives the lemon-yellow team the advantage of both weight and experience, as the Whitman team will weigh only about 169 pounds. The indications are that the field will be dry and fast, which will give Whitman her only chance, for It is on this kind of grounds that Hoover and McDonald can play their best game. Hoover Is in the best of condition, and from the fullback position will direct the Whitman attack. McDonald and Yedica are working" at quarter with Cram and Clark at half. Clerln and Hanson, two Portland boys, will hold the end places, while Busch and Neis- wanger. tackles; Traut, Groom and One of the Two Greatest Forces in Modern Business Is the Telephone A summary recently made by a cele brated writer of the replies received from a large number of business men throughout the United States to the question "What forces make it possible today to form a solid foundation to American business?" gave this result: 1st The huge Banking facilities this coun-' try possesses. 2d The Telephone.
