After playing a losing game for the Rreater part of three quarters, Lin coln High came from behind in the annual game with Washington High yesterday and won. 6 to 3, in a spec tacular climax that might have been taken from one of the Frank Merriwell novels. In faliaet nna'Pi Wavhinrinn Vi a 1 it on Lincoln, but when Borleske's boys began shooting forward passes through the air from various weird and intri cate formations. Washington High crumbled, and the score was turned from a 3-0 loss to a 6-3 victory. Fom-ard Faaai Turn Tide. Three forward passes, almost con secutively, did the work for Lincoln in the fourth period, and when the last pass sailed high and dry over the north goal line into the waiting arms of Oskar Driskell, center man, who was eligible because of a complete shift of the right side on a feint maneuver, bedlam broke loose, and the din was akin to that along the Galllpoli Peninsula during a bombardment. More than 3000 students and others filled the grandstand and lined the field, and with three cheer leaders working overtime on each section of rival rooters, the Multnomah Field took on the aspects of a real college stadium. Intfrschool Honors Now Een. tiy virtue of this win Lincoln High has won five games and Washington High five contests since they began playing in 1907. The West Side high won in 1911. and since then the vic tories have see-sawed back and forth across the Willamette. The scoring yesterday started in the third period, when, after vainly trying o puncture the Lincoln line. Captain Normandin called for a place kick for mation. Edwin Strowbridge then booted the ball between the posts from the 16-yard line for what looked like a 3-0 victory for Washington. After the next kickoff the ball surged up and down the field, with Charley -Parsons doing the best ground-gaining for the Kast Siders. and Coach Borleske featuring Lynn Oliver and Halfback Smith. The triumphant march for the West Bide team came soon after the fourth Quarter opened. Washington High at tempted a place kick frorr the 38-yard line, but the ball never left the ground, for it was smothered by the Lincoln High line. Ed Strowbridge fell on the hall, but It was the fourth down, so Referee Francis gave the ball to the ft itinera. Aerial Ganie Spectacular. Then came a series of forward passes. On the first play the pass was incontr nleted. but the next shoot, Oliver to Smith, was good for ten yards. Another one, via the same route, brought the ball eight yards nearer the coveted goal line. Not to be content with this suc cess. Quarterback "Dutch" Livingston called lor another aerial shoot from a freak spread formation, and it was 39 rds away when Lowell Paget was downed. By this time the Washington High asuregation was running around like a bunch of allies during a Zeppelin in vasion, and it seemed impossible for ('oath Earl's men to cope with the situ ation. Before they knew it six more yards were peeled off, Lynn Oliver to Livingston, and this set the stage for the sensational climax of the contest. A shift that caused the Lincoln High players to be strung clear across Mult nomah field was ordered. After receiv ing the signal Center Driskell snapped the oval back to Oliver, who ran back a little to the right and, just before he was ready to be tackled, he shot the pigskin back to Lowell Paget. Paget took a couple of steps and deliberately surveyed the situation. Pass Made Deliberately. With the whole Kast Side eleven right on him he drew back and shot the ball about 15 yards over the goal line, where Iriskell had taken time to brace himself for the catch. He did not move, but dropped to the ground Just behind the extreme northeastern corner of the field with th-e ball firmly clutched in his arms. After the noise had subsided and Referee Francis had waved his hand signifying a touchdown. Lynn Oliver punted out, but for some reason or other his teammates lost their heads and let the ball drop to the ground without even touching it. The surprise of the day was the play ing of Ralph Smith, the new Lincoln halfback. Smith has been playing all year on the second team and was noth ing more than a substitute. Because several of his regulars were unable to start. Coach Borleske put Smith in to start That this w-as a good choice was shown in the way Smith carried the ball. He started things by returning the ball 31 yards on the first kickoff. From then on he was "on." - lloth - Teama Handicapped. Both Coach Earl and Coach Borleske - had to hold out several regulars be cause of injuries. Washington High had Captain "Spud" Normandin. Brubaker and .Phillips sitting on the bench when hostilities opened, and access the fieid found Captain Hay Groce, K. IS. Holt, Preston Holt and Tommy Richardson all out of the fray. Lynn Oliver was the only regular Lincoln High back- Held player in the game, the other three being out oik account of their condition. For Washington, Ozbun Walker, Stan Anderson. Edwin Strowbridge and Charley Parsons made the rooters sit up and take notice, while on the West Side lineup no one found the time drag ging when Oliver. Smith, Faget. Living ston and Buseh were around the ball. The next game of the Portland In terscholasiic l.eaguo will 'e played on Multnomah Field tomorrow afternoon with Jefferson High playing the Frank lin High eleven. The game will start at 3 o'clock. Tie la Possible. The way things look now the 1915 season of the local circuit is in line to result in a tie. Washington High yet has to meet the Jefferson 1-igh iu the last gamo of -the year, but before this Columbia University will take a "crack" at the Jeffersonians. Around these two contests will center all Jef ferson's hopes of winning its first foot ball championship since its admission to the league. Should either institution wallop the North Kast siders nothing can keep the league from resulting in a tie.

Fred Kclley. world's .champion hurdler, and Leo Livernash, of the University of South California football eleven, are out of the game for the rest of the' sea son, with broken legs, according to information given out today. Kelley. star halfback of the team, was injured in a scrimmage last week. Livernash sustained a broken leg in the game with California last Saturday. Although Kelley's injury consists of a fracture near the left ankle, a doctor who attended him said today that it would not decrease the athlete's effi ciency at the hurdles. Friends, how ever, were of the opinion that it might seriously affect him when he competes in the National Amateur rthletic meet at Newark next Summer. Breeding Stables to Be Sold.

WASHINGTON STATE' COLLEGE. Pullman. Oct. 27. (Special.) When Idaho and Washington State College meet next Saturday In their 17th an nual gridiron clash, it will mean that one of the fiercest contests of the sea son will be waged by the two teams. Dope will cease to hold, as it has failed before in forecasting the out come of the struggle, and instead hard fighting, luck and that psychological something that is the big factor in this one game will decide the victory. Never in the athletic history of the schools was there a game which will be so fiercely fought as will this one next Saturday. Idaho, goaded on by the defeats already hers thisfc season, will leave nothing undone to make this game the transitional one from defeats to victories, while Washington State College, with the fact that they have this year a powerful team which al ready has overwhemingly defeated the two Oregon schools fresh in her mind, will attempt to roll up as big a score as possible. Individual Rated High. ' - ' Although Idaho met a decisive de feat at the hands of Hugo Bezdek's warriors two weeks ago, they clearly showed that they possessed a team of high-class individual players who were not aware of the opponent's strength until the game had been lost. .Then they came back in the second half and clearly outplayed the Eugene eleven, thus showing that the Idaho fight cer tainly, has not yet gone to the boards. Coach Dietz has placed the varsity through hard workouts every night in preparation for this game. New plays for the offense and new systems on the defense have been given the men and unless the field is wet the plays should go off with even better machine like exactness than they have in any previous games. Hack Applequist and Captain Ace Clark, the two veteran tackles,, who have both been in the hospital since the Oregon Agricultural College game, will be able to be in uniform in a. few days, but this of course does not in dicate that they will be able to par ticipate in the Idaho game. It is the purpose of the coach to save them both for the game with Montana, as it is certain that both will be needed badly then. Zimmerman to. Get In Game. .Left End Zimmerman, who has looked like all-star material this Fall, Will be able to get in the game Saturday, al though he has taken no active part in the scrimmages since the game at Cor vallis. With an abundance of second string -men on hand, any of whom would show at least as. much class, as the present holders of position on the eleven, - the" matter - of . putting . a fit f s 14 . - it team on the field will not cause a great deal of worry. The showing made by the University of Washington eleven against Gonzaga University at Spokane Saturday either signifies that the -former was weak as a scoring machine or vise the Irishmen were showing the effects of good coaching. Coach Dletz, who witnessed the game, said today that "any team that can stop the off tackle mass plays of Hap Miller has solved Sobie's of fense." BERKELEY NOW HAS 7 COACHES Scltacffer Adds four Old-Time Ex perts to Trio Already at Work. BERKELEY. Cat.. Oct. 27.
