BY FIRST BEATING Pipal and Team Return From Victory Over Idaho. An interesting feature of my business is making A High-Grade Suit for Men at a price all men can afford to pay. Brooklyn Sure to Face Left hander Today, While Red Sox May Bat Coombs. GEM STATE ELEVEN HEAVY 18 ROBINS UNDAUNTED Z 1 BOSTON GIVES 2 TO 1 ODDS Weather Forecast fop Second Gams Is for Clear Skies Apathy of Crowd Ascribed to High Price of Seats. BOSTON', Oct. 8. The Boston Ameri cans and the Brooklyn Nationals will ' renew their battle for the world's championship at Braves' Field tomor row when they meet in the second frame of the series. All players were reported on edge tonight by their re spective managers and all were eager to renew the conflict. Brooklyn, nothing daunted by its 6 to 5 defeat of Saturday, is preparing to reverse the decision in Monday's game and thus return to their home park on even terms with Boston. Forecast Is for Clear Day. The weather forecast for tomorrow Is for a clear day. Those who wit nessed the opening play say they have seen nothing to arouse fear that the record of unbroken victories for Bos ton teams in past world's series is to be upset this season.- They strengthen their opinions by willingness to wager 2 to 1 on the outcome of the series. Neither team practiced today, the players resting at their homes, or at the hotels. The chief topic of conversation and argument among fans was based upon the choice of pitchers for tomorrow's game. It was the consensus of opin ion that Carrigan would send either Ruth or Leonard to the mound for Bos ton, while Robinson would. counter with either Coombs or Pfeffer. Southpaw to Face Sapnbas. In either case Boston will have a southpaw in the box against the Super bas, while Boston will be called upon to face a righthander, since Brooklyn played its best lefthanded twirler when Marquard was worked on Saturday. A puzzing feature of Saturday's game was the rather apathetic bearing of those who were present. One magnate advanced the opinion that this was not due to any lack of interest in the game, but came about as the result of the composition of the crowd. He said: "It was a "five-dollar crowd,' and by that I mean it was composed to a great extent of persons who are accustomed to attending the theater, opera and like amusements and who express their approval or interest in a rather mild manner from the baseball standpoint. Many, too, were not the close follow ers of the game and the play in its in tricate places went over their heads." Hooper Gets Credit. The Brooklyn players agree with their manager that it was Harry Hooper, the Boston right fielder, who broke the budding offensive . of the Brooklyns in the fourth inning, when he made a marvelous catch of Cut shaw's seemingly safe hit and then, after half falling to the ground, re covered himself and by a fast line throw got Wheat at the plate. "That was the turning point of the game," said Jack Coombs, the former Athletic pitcher, and now one of the Brooklyn dependables. "Our offensive was snapped at a point when it was apparent to all that we were on the road to making several runs. Once in the lead, all Marquard would have had to do was to hold the Red Sox safe, and this he could have done, for he pitched a fine game. His support and the breaks of the game beat him." Dodger Count on Heavy Attack. The Brooklyn players do not think the Boston system of a run at a time will prevail against their heavy at tack, and what has imbued them with confidence of victories to come is the pitching of Ernest Shore. Manager Robinson says that all his players re marked that Shore did not have much on the ball except a. bit of a fade-away, which seemed to puzzle Jake Daubert more than anyone else. While Manager Robinson would not say who his hurler would be for to morrow's game, it was said that either the veteran. Coombs or Jack Pfeffer, would be used. Janvrin came in for much praise to day for his playing, substituting for Captain Jack Barry, who is out of the game with an injured hand. The probable lineups for tomorrow's game: Brooklyn Nationals Johneton, right field; Daubert, first base; Meyers, cen terfield; Wheat, leftfield; Cutshaw, sec ond base; Mowrey. third base; Olson, shortstop; Miller, catcher; Coombs or Pfeffer, pitcher. Boston Americans Hooper, right field; Janvrin. second base; Shorten, centerfield; Hoblltzel. first base; Lewis, leftfield;. Gardner, third base; Scott, shorstop; Thomas, catcher; Ruth, pitch er. NEBRASKA SPRINGS SURPRISE Dr. Stewart's Team Gives Promise of Continued Championship. KANSAS CITT, Oct 8 Nebraska': preat showing against Drake in the llrst Missouri Valley Conference foot ball of the season, the stout defense and unexpected variety of attack which Missouri exhibited in the game with Central, and the decisive defeat of Kansas in that team's adventure into big nine territory to meet Illinois, gave Southwestern football fans food in con sidering the 1916 race for gridiron honors. Nebraska made S3 points yesterday while holding Drake scoreless, a fact which would seem to point to a con ttnuation of the monotonous string of Cornhusker championships. Missouri's showing justified expecta tions, and added a pleasing surprise in the 40 points scored by the combina tion of old and new football tactics. Ames won from Highland Park, 19 to 0. Washington had a vigorous op ponent in Rose Polytechnic, but emerged victor. 14 to 0. In the Far Southwest the only not able feature was Oklahoma's score of 148 to 0 against Southwestern. Normal, Texas won from Rice, 16 to 2, as com pared with last year's score of 59 to 0 and Arkansas defeated Hendrix, 58 to 0. JACK AVHITE IS KNOCKED OUT Heine Orchard Puts Chicagoan to Sleep in 3 2d Round at Tijuana. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 8.

FOOTBALIi BANQUET RETAINED Washington Faculty Decides to Per mit Traditional Custom. UNIVERSITT OP WASHINGTON, Seattle, Oct. 8. (Special.) To eat or not to eat? Whether Dobie and his valiant grid iron heroes were to be denied their long-honored custom of holding their annual football banquet on the night after the last game of the season has been the question that has been hang ing fire for the past' week and was not decided until the meeting of the faculty and the student athletic board of control. Here the students impressed on the faculty the need of retaining this tra ditional "feed" as a fitting memory and appreciation by the student and coaches of the great sacrifice the mole skin boys have made for Washington that the purple and gold might retain its position among the leaders on the football field. The students won, and Dobie and his team are sure of another "square" aner the California game. Thanksgiving, whether they ara able to keep their goal line from the assaults of the en emy or not. Students and football men. as wll. have a soft spot in their hearts for the members of the faculty that finally swung the necessary majority their way so that Dobie and his boys might assemble after this year's final game and compare notes with the added at traction of beinc able to order Just what they want without fear of their condition. Dobie says that crepe will be needed at this year's banquet. JACK ALLEN TO BOX SUGAN Lee Johnson and Harry Anderson to Appear Also at Seattle Smoker. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 8. (Special.) Jack Allen.

OVERLOOK BOYS WIN Portland Athletic Club Eleven Beaten, 24 to 0. WEIGHT HANDICAP TOO BIG Three Injured In Indepencnt Foot ball Game, One Lad Suffering Broken Log, Another 3 Frac tured Ribs, Third Bad Cut. Independent Sunday football was ushered in yesterday morning when the Portland Athletic Club team went down to a 24-to-0 defeat at the hands of the Overlook 'Arcllghts" on Mont gomery Flats. The Portland Athletic Club team was outweighed more than 10 pounds to the man, but fought every second of the game. The Overlook team was to have come on the field averaging 130 pojnda, but, instead they scaled about 135 or more. Manager Richard R. Sharp, of the Portland Club eleven, did not want to disappoint the large crowd on hand, so he agreed to let the Over look team come in over weight. The Overlook squad scored a touch down in the first period, one in the second period and two in the fourth period. Paul Gray, Ray Brooks. M. Munroe and M. Rogoway were the stars for the Portland Athletic Club. Brooks on right end threw a scare into Overlook several times by grabbing passes out or the air and making sensational runs. The game was marred by several accidents, which will cause at least two of the Portland Athletic Club players to remain out of the game for a week. Gray. Harms and Munroe were the unlucky ones. In the third auarter Gray went through the Overlook line for about 20 yards. When he came to stop there were about 10 men on top of him and one of them shoved part of his foot into Gray's ribs, crush ing two or them. Harms fractured a leg In the second Quarter, nutttnar him out of the game. Munroe got a nasty gash over his right eye, but stuck in me game. Weldon Wins: nlaved a. t pilar- como for the winners going around the Portland ends for. big gains. Neither of the teams hav had much practice.

Coach Pipal and his 21 Oregon Aggie football players arrived in Portland at 8 o'clock yesterday morning fresh from their victory over the University of Idaho at Moscow Saturday, and left for Corvallis over the Southern Pacific in the afternoon. "The boys showed a wonderful im provement over the type of football that they have been displaying in the preliminary games" smiled the coach, "but the score that we rolled up against the Gem Staters is no fair estimation of our strength. Idaho outweighed us at least 10 pounvls to the man, but their work was exceedingly ragged and showed the lack of sufficient practice." Captain Bissett, who accompanied the team, but was unable to play owing to a cracked rib, watched the Wash ington State College team go down to defeat before the Alumni at Pullman Saturday and the Aggie captain de clares that the Diets machine, while it did not play up to its 1915 form, has Iiost none oi its speea ana win do m moat formidable contender next Sat urday when the Aggies line up against them on their home field. Coach Pipal was especially pleased with the defensive game put up by his proteges and by the excellent run ning of interference by bin light back field. Prior to the Idaho game the team was weak in these two depart ments. "Darkhorse" Newman, "Slim" Hiatt, Ozbun Walker and Carl Lodell, all former Portland interscholastlc players, broke into the lineup against Idaho and acquitted themselves In a creditable manner. The following men left with Coach Pipal for Corvallis: Captain Bissett. Conn, B. Anderson, Newman. Wllley. Bixby, RearJon. Hubbard, Moist, Web ster. Lodell. Hiatt. Gill. Walker.

Five hun dred wildly excited Aggie football fans were on hand at the Southern Pacific depot tonight to welcome Coach Pipal and his victorious football team back to the campus after their crushing de feat of the University of Idaho eleven at moscow Saturday. "The boys put up a fine brand of football." stated' the coach, "but the score overestimates our true strength. Idaho was weak on defense and could not stop the whirlwind rushes of Conn, Newman and Anderson. We still have a great number of points that will need considerable adjustment before we can hope to stand a chance against Wash ington State next Saturday." The Aggies did not open up any trick plays against the Gem Staters and re lied solely on straight football when it became apparent that the regular for mations worked well. Conn and Rear don played especially sensational games. WINGED M SOCIAIi PLANS MADE Season of 1916-17 to Begin October 2 6 With Formal Ball. A. H.

NO CHANGE CONTEMPLATED Faculty Takes Stand That American Football Interferes With Broad ening of Athletic Endeavor. Policy Is Unaltered. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Oct. 8. (Special.) That Ameri can football has no cnance of coming back to Stanford, while there is Inter ference in the game, is the opinion of Dr. Frank Angell. head of the faculty athletic committee, who returned re cently from Europe and who is again at the head of athletic affairs for the Cardinals. 'Some 14 years ago we started In on the general athletic policy for which Stanford now enjoys considerable repu tation throughout the country the the policy of 'general participation."" said Dr. An ire 11. "The chief obstacle In the way of the spread of that policy was found to be the American game of football. Chiefly for this reason it was abolished. Specifically the ruling was passed a few years later that no foot ball game admitting Interference would be allowed as an official game on the campus. As is evident from the foot ball conditions in most American col lesres the objections to the American came, which were chiefly operative In its abolishment, are still valid, and there Is not the slightest prospect that the ruling as regards interference will be rescinded in any prospective time. 'The question of preference for one form of game as opposed to another is not at issue here. A university n no business with preferences which it would try to Impose on students, but a university administration has or should have a clear-cut athletic policy, and in pursuance of that policy it should take such measures as it trunks wise. "The policy of Stanford for more than 14 years has been that of opening up and broadening athletics; that is the policy of general participation. With that policy the American game of football is In conflict. "To think that there is going to be any change or reversal of this policy and bring down the football situation rr to the lvel thst exists In most si n n The Hal Twelve Stock Car proved itself superior to all cars, p competing in the Wilkesbarre A.

CHICAGO FANS DISCOURAGED Stagg's Eleven Disappoints Follow ers by Losing to Carleton. CHICAGO, Oct. 8. Carleton's defeat of Chicago, practically the only upset in Middle Western football Saturday, was a feature that discouraged many of the fans who expected to see Coach btagg deliver a championship team. The Chicago game seemed to belle predictions that the Maroon line would be stronger than last year's.
