In Which Huntington and MonteUli Are stars. BT ftOPCOE FAWl'PTT. After a lone; reign, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club football team bowed to a decisive 10-2 defeat by the University of Oregon yesterday on Winged "M" .neld. It was Oregon's first victory over the club in this an nual Thanksgivinc- dav embroelio since 1909. and Bezdek's team made up for its Job-like patience by doing the, trick up brown. From the spectators' standpoint the game was interesting, for not until tne fourth quarter was the engagement decldeJ. In the meantime., the pro gramme on the muddy sawdust-covered gridiron ran through the entire gamut, from the sublime to the ridic ulous. Approximately 1000 fans and fan- nettes were in the grandstand when tba fun began.- Hnntlagtaa la Big Noise. From tne start the University boys had the much beefier veterans on the defensive, with this 180-pound half back, Huntington, of The Dalles, the big gun for Oregon. Tet, the first half ended 0-0, and for a time in the second half it looked as if the club would win through an unusual and unexpected mental miscue by Huntington. On tha kickoff at the start of the third quarter, the balj went over the goal line. Huntington walked out with It to the one-yard- line and then de liberately - retraced his steps and touched it down behind the goal. Of course, there waa nothing for the of ficials to do but call it a safety, and this gave the Multnomah club two points. llnbmea Make Dash. With this 2-0 score In its favor Mult nomah immediately perked up and be gun Its first real offensive campaign of the game. After the safety, Oregon kicked from her own 20-yard line to Multnomah's 45-yard parallel, and then was begun a march down Into Oregon's territory that should have won the game for the club. By a succession of off tackle bucks and straight plunges in which Parsons, de Witt and Os Day starred, the club men finally burked the ball to Oregon's six-yard line. Here came the break of the game. Captain Rupert, of the Multnomah Club, must have suffered a kick on the skull, for, instead of H'oncludcd on page VI.

USE OF AUTOS IS DONATED Charitable Organizations C'o-operato in Providing Relief; Supplies Given to Last .More Than Day. Good Fellows Offer Aid. Although fewer turkeys than is cus tomary were eaten In Portland yester day, in another way it was perhaps the finest Thanksgiving day this big town has ever had. For the old adage that it is better to give than to receive was borne in mind by so many persons, who looked about them to aid those on whom fortune had bestowed fewer blessings. That is why the unfortunate were remembered as on no previous Thanks giving day and their needs relieved in a spirit of unselfish g.iving. Harmony la Work Notable. The charitable and relief organiza tions of the city co-operated as they have never done before. There was no working to cross-purposes. They di vided their activities beforehand, each taking up that part of the relief work which it seemed best able to handle, the others lending a hand when needed. They went about their business of cheering the woebegone, feeding the hungry and putting a big spark ot brightness in many a home it Want ed it sorely, with the same community of purpose and subordination of tha individual that makes a good football team. It was real teamwork, too, and this city is vastly happier today be cause it happened. "1 firmly believe that every family known to be in need hss been cared for," said big "Bill" Strandborg, chief of the Jtuts. who, with their efficient organization, provided for the wants of 1'2S families. Few Families in Need Missed. "Some families " may have been missed, but, if so, it was because they were too proud to let the Associated Charities, the People's Institute, the Muts or any the other organizations who wanted to help them, know about it." The Muts didn't have a very long time to get ready. They were asKcd last Tuesday night by the Associated Charities and the People's Institute, which were fairly swamped . by the appeals for help, to look after 100 fam ilies. In 21 hours the Muts had per fected an organization that was send ing out baskets of provisions from St. Johns to Lents, on the i:ast Side, and from Guilds Lake to Fulton on the West Side. When they finished up at 1 o'clock: yesterday and closed their headquar ters at lss Broadway, they not only had helped the 100 families but -6 others, including about a dozen who had not applied for help, but were known to be needy and deserving. Assortment of Edibles Provided, "in each basket were edibles worth $2.25. They included condensed milk, rice, beans, a 10-pound sack of flour, two loaves of bread, butter, canned soup and other staple provisions. A 25 cent cut of good beef or veal' also went with each basket. The Muts went on the theory that there shouldn't be a feast for a family one day and famine the next, so eaeh basket contained enough to keep the average family in comfortable circum stances, so far as eating is concerned, for the next three or four days. The baskets were made possible by good fellows who gave money and sup plies for the work. One. of the hardest problems con fronting the Muts was that of trans portation. But they solved that all right when some other good fellows came u the front with automobiles and themselves as drivers. Automobiles Donated for Work. T. K. Walling, X. G. Pike, S. C. Brat ton and Dr. J. L. Manion gave their autos for this work, and Allen Lewis sent one of the regular delivery wagons of Allen & Lewis, with a driver who was willing and knew the town like a book, to help get the baskets where needed. ' Those with the autos started out Wednesday morning and kept at it till late that night. And then they caaue down early yesterday morning and finished the job. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Abraham, in behalf of themselves and some of their friends, went to the Muts and said they would take care of 13 families, includ ing the furnishing of the baskets and everything in them and their delivery. They were assigned to the Lents dis trict, about the hardest place in town, with its unpaved streets and no side walks in m.-tiy places, to navigate in this kind of weather. Vtork Carried Late Into Nigb-t. Well, the Abrahams started out' at I o'clock Wednesday afternoon on th'j deliveries and they didn't finish the work until 10 au nichi. Even then there wna one duress they could not I1nd, but the Assoolated Chnritleg knew .tUulKludvi eu l'a9 ia, Coluiua.
