Beckett of my team," said Hugo Bez

long ago. Hugo says Washington
State would have beaten Oregon 50-0
were in not for Beckett's almost su
perhuman efforts. And Bezdek used to
toe quite some football player himself
back at Chicago a few years ago, and
lie knows what he is talking about
Beckett played fullback for the Wash

went to Oregon. He was on the team
that almost licked Oak Park. Chicago,
in that historic 6-3 game in 1910 for
the National interscholastic champion
ship. Hoover Is Real star.
On any other team than little Whit
man College of Walla Walla, Fullback
Hoover would be another shining light.
Hoover, who is a low hurlder with a
mark, of about 25 seconds, was unani
mously chosen all-Northwest quarter
back last Fall. Coach Bo'rleske switched
him to full this year, and he has been
Beting up like a 42-centimeter shell.
Halfback Miller, of the University of
nasnington eleven, is too well known
all over the country to need much
boosting. Walter Camp "mentioned"
him a couple of years ago. Miller
weighs about 200 pounds and is the
original human juggernaut.
And the same goes for the Wash
ington State College trio. Bangs. Dietz
and Applequist. Coach Bill Dietz. the
old Carlisle Indian star, says these
three could make any team in the
country and be phenoms.
On the strength of their showing in
the Michigan Aggie game it is very
"likely that Fullback Abraham, of the
Oregon Aggies, and Tackle Laythe, of
the same team, will be recognized by
the Eastern critics.
Abraham and Laythe Shine.
Out here rival coaches have for two
years referred to Abraham as the
"greatest fullback in the country."
Evidently the Albany plunger lived up
to reputation in the Michigan game,
judging from newspaper accounts of
the soiree. Laythe. the 210-pound
tackle, also performed heroically. He
was opposed to the giant negro star.
Smith, and Smith got manhandled so
badly that he was forced to retire.
Hofer and Bille. of the Oregon Ag
jries. constitute another pair of stars
of high rank.
Comparative scores, used in a house.
that-Jack-built sort of fashion, don't
amount to birds' nests in giving an
absolutely accurate line on the
strength of two teams on opposite ends
of the "doping." They are always in
teresting, however, and the crop grow
ing out of the Oregon Aggies-Michigan
Aggies game will be doubly so in view
of the marked superiority in favor of
the Pacific Northwest.
ComparlMOn Shovra Prowesn.
How is this?
Washington State College beat the
Oregon Aggies. 29-0: the Oregon Ag
cries beat the Michigan Aggies. 20-0;
the Michigan Aggies beat Michigan.
24-0; ergo. Washington State is 73
yoints better than Michigan and the
Oregon Aggies are 44 points superior
to Yost's crew.
Investigating further. Syracuse beat
lichigan, 14-7. and Princeton beat
(Syracuse 3-0, so Washington State Col
lege has a 63-point margin over
Princeton. And Princeton beat Lafay
ette 40-3 and Lafayette beat Pennsyl
vania 17-0.
And remember, too, that Cornell is
rated as only 13 points better than
Princeton, as shown by their scores
with Williams. Cornell beat Williams.
4 6-8. and Princeton beat Williams,
27-0. Yet Cornell defeated Harvard,
3 0-0. So. on comparative scores. Wash
ington State College is 50 points supe
rior to Cornell. 60 points superior to
Harvard and 64 points superior to Yale,
gauged by Washington and Jefferson
scores with Yale and Lafayette.
Sjmcune May Be Powerful.
Of course these comparisons are
jimerely fanciful and Syracuse may tip
eet goo all over the horizon when this
strong Eastern eleven comes to Port
land to play the Oregon Aggies on De

edge seems all to be with the teams

years ago and it got neatly trimmed
by both Washington State and Mult

Never before, according to Con
gressman C. N. McArthur, has a West
ern team gone beyond the Mississippi
to tackle a gridiron foe, but now that
the smoke of battle has cleared away,
we don't see as it makes much differ

The West seems well able to take care

H
be four years in February since
Dr. E. J. Stewart came out to the
Oregon Agricultural College as physical
director. He had a fair reputation as
a basketball coach and had piloted a
couple of secondary colleges in football,
but he had not caused many waves In
the puddle. He coached basketball and
track at Oregon Agricultural College
and did nothing startling in either,
though he had fair teams.
Sam Dolan was the football coach
then, but Dr. Stewart blossomed out as
coach of the football team in 1913. He
didn't make a good start, as his first
big game was against Washington at
Seattle and Dobie was returned victor,
47-0. The hammers began to pound at
a lively rate, but Coach Stewart gritted
his teeth and worked all the harder. To
make things more unpleasant. "Hunky"
Shaw, captain, turned in his suit and
the students sympathized with him in
his differences with "Doc."
The memorable 10-10 game with Ore
gon at Albany, when Oregon Agricul
tural College was doped to be smoth
ered under an avalanche of touch
downs, put a quietus on the anvil
chorus.
Last year Coach Stewart added more
glory by holding the Washington ma
chine 0-0 at Albany and Oregon to a
3-3 tie at Corvallis. He, introduced to
the public one of the most sensational
halfbacks ever shown in the North
west conference in Art Lutx.
This season Lutz and Moore, his star
men. failed to return, so things were
not particularly rosy. His team looked
pretty good after trimmingWhitman
34-7 and Willamette 69-0, but returned
to the ordinary after Dietz and his co
horts walloped them 29-0 on the Oregon
Agricultural College pasture.
The team started East with misgiv
ings and everyone imagined the Mich
igan Aggies would annex at least half
a hundred points after the terrible pun
ishment they visited upon the "Hurry
Up" Y'ost clan the Saturday previous.
Few would have risked a jitney against
a ten-spot that Oregon Agricultural
College would hold them to 30 points.
Stewart may not be a coach, but he
has reached heights seldom dreamed
of by the "big uns." Dobie has a rec
ord for consecutive wins, but they pale
to insignificance when placed along
side Stewart's feat. Even the mighty

Victory Over Michigan Aggies Is

CHICAGO. Oct. 31. The rout of the
famous Michigan Aggies by the Ore
gon Aggies, and Chicago's victory
over Wisconsin were the most notable
contributions to football history in the
Middle West Saturdaj-.
At the same time at least one new
name was written large into the annals
of the gridiron that of Abraham of
the Oregon eleven. This hero of the
game at Lansing, Mich., was com
pared in his line plunging and general
all-around work to Heston, the famous
Michigan man. and one report of the
FAMOUS
game said that Abraham never took'WIXD KEEPS THW STORPi! Tnw
the ball without gaining. He was ably i "
seconded by a backfield that outdid
the performance of the Lansing team
against Yost's men the week before,
and the Oregon forwards did their
share in stopping the rushes of the
home team.
Credit Given Oregon Men.
i Handicapped by the 3000-mile jour
ney and by clashing with a team of the
Michigan Aggies' prestige on their
home grounds, the Oregon men de
served the greatest credit. The fact
that the Oregon Aggies were defeated
previously by Washington State con
vinces critics that the gridiron pastime
in the Northwest has reached an ad
vanced stage, for it was generally ad
mitted that the Michigan Aggies con
stituted one of the best teams in this
section.

ounce of strength into the game.

Kansas seldom has put up a better

which the latter won, thereby adding
the Kansas- scalp -to a belt already
adorned by the trophies of Missouri
and Texas. Despite Oklahoma's previ
ous showing, the superior weight of
the visitors and a varied offensive at
tack sent them onto the field expect
ing to win. but the Oklahomans" speed
at the overhead and open-field game
could not be met effectively by the
Kansas men, who were weak at tack
ling. It was Oklahoma's fourth vic
tory over Kansas in five years.

The remarkable Ttlavim. r i 1
in the game against the Michigan
Aggies recalls the early days' practice
ol his first year at Oregon Agricul
tural College in 1912. He had been
the reliable fullback on Albany High
School for a couple of seasons, and,
being the largest man on the team
was accustomed to having a rather
easy time as far as bumps were con
cerned. He was a big. husky lad. but
not overly strong, and no one was more
surprised than his brother, Gus of
Albany, when he made the team. ' He
could handle Herman so easily that
he thought his chances at Oregon Agri
cultural College rather slim. Also. Abe
round the going among the husky
farmers rather rough, and he thought
seriously of turning in his suit. His
friends advised him to stick with the
squad and pull some of the rough stuff
himself, and, after thinking it over
he put forth more strenuous efforts'
and we see the result.
Art Lutz will probably take a long
walk into the country today and medi
tate long and seriously upon what
might have been had he returned to
Oregon Agricultural College. He may

Redlands High School, but it isn't a

Corvallis team would be beaten 60
points, and that was too good to over

say that "Doc" Stewart "pulled" his

Grand Circuit. As it is now w r

WOLVERTOX SIGXS PERRITT
Seal Manager Takes Discarded An
gel Flinger for 1916 Team.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31. (Special.)
Harry Wolverton announced his first
deal looking to the 1916 season today
with the signing of Poll Perritt, dis
carded Los Angeles Ditcher. Wolver
ton says he thinks Perritt is a better
pitcher than he has been credited with
being, and points to his showing
against the Salt Lake Bees the last
time he was there with the Angels. On
hat occasion Perritt won two games
on the week. At all events, the new
Seal will have all the chance in the
world at the Spring tryout.
The Seals have also signed Allan a
novice first baseman, who has been
playing semi-pro ball. Wolverton hard
ly expects to use him with the local
club, but may place the youngster with
some Northwestern League team.
Soldiers Defeat Civilian Team.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Oct. 31.
(Special.) The Soldiers today won a
brilliant game in the Inter-City Foot
ball League from the Washington Ath

by a score of 12 to 0. The first half
of the game was played altogether in
the Soldiers' quarters, but then the
visitors seemed to tire and the better
training of the Soldiers had its effect,
and in the last two periods two touch
downs were made. Fumbles by both
sides made the result anvthlrir hut
.certain, but the Soldiers turned them to
6wu aavantage.

Considerable anxiety Is felt for the
Stanley cup. the trophy which is held
by the championship ice hockey team
of the world. At present it is in the
hands of the Vancouver Millionaires
of the Pacific Coast Hockey Associa
tion, but because, of the "war" be
tween Eastern and - Western hockey
managers, there is no telling whether
or not it will be put up again.
Manager Frank Patrick, of the Van
couver aggregation, has given the
Stanley cup trustees all the data re
garding the mixup, and he has offered
to return the trophy to the trustees
or defend It on the Coast, as the board
advises. From all accounts Manager
Patrick is through with the National
Hockey Association unless it complies
with a few of the requests of the
West, but he does not want to give
up the cup so that it can go back East
without a "fight."
Manager E. H Savacro nf

cruits to fill out his 1915-16 contingent
but as yet he has been able to sign
but one. This is Alf Barbour, of the
Alberta country in Canada.
Active practice will be started in the
local rink among the professionals
about the middle of this month, and
by that time several amateurs from
the East who desire tryouts will be
on hand. Plans are being made to
have the first practice for the Port
land Amateur Hockey Association sep
tets soon after the professionals don
their suits, so that practice games can
be staged between the vairous aggre
gations. Later on in the season speed races
for adults will be scheduled previous
to the second annual Ice Carnival at
the Portland Ice Hippodrome. No skat

being Sunday, and the next sessloin
will not be started until 3 o'clock this

Bine's Showing Against Colgate Is
Described as Pitiful. While Har
vard Atones in Marked De
gree for Recent Backset.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31. The defeat of
Yale. Pennsylvania. Army. Navy and
tennsyivanla State set a new high
recora lor eastern football upsets on
the closing Saturday In October.
Harvard, however, defeated a week
ago by Cornell, rallied in Spartan
tasnion yesterday and won from Penn
sylvania State In a manner that indi
cated that the Crimson is not entirely
out or the running for Eastern gridiron
honors.
Harvard's game, while not a master
piece of football strategy or strength,
showed that the Cambridge clan pos
sesses the material for a team likely
to give Princeton a terrific battle next
Saturday. The offense of the Crimson
was erratic, but at its height was not
to be considered lightly. The defense
was far more impressive.
In fact, the Princeton scouts who
were at the game at Cambridge were
convinced that the Tigers had more to
fear from Harvard than from Yale.

game with the Crimson. The VAis?
showing against Colgate was little
short of pitiful from the standpoint of
the admirers of the Blue. The Yale
team was almost helpless before the
splendid attack and defense of Colgate.
