William Booth. The "rat" was picked up In the brush near tha scene of Booth's death by Chester Ball. 22 yeara old, and C. Tilbury. Coroner of Tamhlll County, tbo day after the snooting. Tho prosecution dealred to introduce tho "rst" In evidence And to bring In testimony by Coroner Tilbury compar ing It with other -rats" known to have been worn by Mrs. Booth, iplrited Clashes Result. Tho defense as vigorously opposed both steps axd lor a full hour the "rat" bobbed up In on form or An other to cause spirited clashes between attorneys for prosecution and defense District Attorney R. Conner "started the ball rolling" when he had Mr. Tilbury surrender tho "rat." which bo bad wrapped In paper and guarded from tho time It was found, and began to question bun about It.

He declared that, to begin with, the "rat" had not been sufficiently Identified, that runner It was for tho Jury to determine any resemblance it might have to "rats" worn by Mrs. Booth, and that In any event Mr. Tilbury certainly was not qualified to give expert testimony as to women's "rats." The District Attorney replied with argument that a "rat" was a common article of merchandise and that as such a witness did not have to be an ex pert to compare It with another "rat" lie said he did not expect to Identify It postively as having belonged to Mrs. Booth, but desired to Introduce It and compare it with "rats" worn by her.

DAZZLING OPEN PLAY IS SEEN Visitors' Scientific Football Overwhelms Westerners. TINY PLAYERS ARE STARS Rafter and Mcchan Electrify Crowd by Scintillating Dashes Two Touchdowns Made Before Corvallis Touches Ball. BY ROSCOE FAWCKTT. Like a certain storied Frenchman, the Oregon Asgies took In too much terri tory. It was all riuh. for them to Jump half way eastward and drub the crack Michigan Aggies, but, when they chal lenged the Syracuse University foot ball bunch they wept too far East. Yesterday on Multnomah Field Syra cuse made a primrose romp out of this big interactional game, defeating the Oregon Aggies, 28-0. Fourteen ot these points were amassed by the Atlantic Coast athletes In the first quarter be fore tho Aggies even had their hands on the ball. Aggie fumbles In the third quarter on their own 22 and 24-yard lines presented Syracuse with the other 14 points. Aggies Badly shattered. This much must be said in defense ot the Oregon team, it was a badly shat tered and crippled aggregation that Coach Stewart put onto the field. Yea ger and Schuster were out of the game entirely, and Laytho and Abraham were not in good physical trim. Syracuse produced a 200-pound forward line, however, and a shifty set of backs, equipped with 1915 model formations, and it is a sure bet that Syracuse could have whaled the Corvallis lada even at their fullest muster. So far as fundamentals go, the Ore gon Aggies were not weak, save in re opect of holding the ball. When the Westerners could get in front of a play the Syracuse advance was usually stopped. "Red" Wilkinson. all-Eastern halfback, was usually checked un der three yards on his famous lino plunges. But, when It came to break ing up masked plays tho passes and the criss-cross double-pass attack that Washington State used so effectively this Fall under Bill Deitz, and which Oregon used to batter the beefy Mult nomah Club on Thanksgiving day, the Aggies were out-maneuvered, out blocked and sometimes almost pushed out of the township. Tiny Players Arc Stars. As positive proof that there is plenty of room for the watch-charm type of athlete in present-day football, the afternoon produced two stars whose brilliant offensive moves stood out like lightning flashes William Rafter, 147 pound fullback, of Troy, N. Y. and Jack Meehan, of Dean Academy, who tips the beam at 143 pounds. These two midgets furnished Just about all the thrills there were al though on the whole it was ho inspir ing afternoon for Western football fans. When these two sparklers had the ball there was no telling the precise trend of the Syracuse attack. Meehan did all the Syracuse forward passing, and an aerial heave to Rafter for 20 yards, followed by three offside penalties in a row and a nine-yard gain by little Rafter off right tackle, really put the skids under the Corvallis bunch in the first six minutes of play. It took Just that long and no more for the Easterners to lug the ball over the Aggie goal line. Stands Often Electrified. Several times afterwards the two lit tle backs electrified the stands by sen sational offensive work. Immediately after the first touchdown tho Oregon team braced, and, with the aid of a 13-yard holding penalty on Wilkinson, pushed Syracuse back to her own 13- yard line. At this stage of the game Coach Stewart, of the Aggies, felt no whit depressed. A moment later, however, little Meehan called for a fake punt formation and it completely fooled the Aggies. Instead of a punt, the ball was snapped back to Meehan, and he shot around end, behind mag nificent interference, for 33 yards to very center of the field. This put the Aggies on the run again. and inside of seven minutes Syracuse had another touchdown. In this pro cession down the entire length of the gridiron Mee,han sprung his famous high forward pass to "Goliath" White, and it netted seven yards. Twice after ward this signal was called. Once it worked, and the other time Abraham spilled it. Rafter Races to Goal Line. An eight-yard gain around righc end by Rafter eventually placed the ball on the 12-yard line. Rose added four on a straight buck for first down, and Rafter sailed around left end for tho remaining eight yards to a touchdown. Wilkinson kicked both goal! after puntouts, and the score inside of 13 inutes was Syracuse 14, Oregon Ag gies 0. Possibly it wouia do wen to insert. a word or two here about the crowd and tie weather. A chilly, biting wind seemed to sweep the Multnomah stadium from one end to the other.
