4 16 TIIE 5IORXIXG OREGONIAN. SATUEDAT, XOTE3IBEH 23, 1916. TO SEE YALE HARVARD CLASH Largest Football Arena in Country Can't Accommodate Fans Seeking Entry. NO TITLE IS INVOLVED Application for More Than 30,000 Additional Are Turned Back Un filled Dope Promises Big Fight Between Old Rivals. rEW HAVEN. Corin., Nov. 24. The climax of the Eastern football season will be reached here tomorrow with the meeting: of the elevens of Harvard and Yale Universities In the Yale bowl, the largest football arena in the coun try. Every seat of the 76,000 available in the huge bowl has been sold for sev eral weeks and applications for more than 30.000 additional returned un filled. The demand has been so keen that very few coupons have found their way Into the hands of specula tors. Those for sale from these sources are being quoted at fabulous prices, yet finding ready purchasers. It ia expected that close to 80,000 spectators will witness the contest, but the paid admissions will fall below these figures, giving gross gate re ceipts of over $150,000. As a. result the attendance and receipts will exceed those of the 1914 game, which formally opened the bowl. This Intense interest in the game is striking. In view of the fact that the contest will not decide the Eastern football championship as has been the case In some former years. Of the two elevens. Harvard has the better record In games won and also in consistent Improvement, and is a logical favorite in the wagering. The famous fighting spirit of the Blue, however, prevents Crimson adherents from offering any thing but short odds,, notwithstanding the fact that in the last four games Harvard has won from Yale by scores of 20-0, 15-5. 36-0 and 41-0. This city has been the scene of many notable football struggles and large crowds of gridiron fans, but a record breaking rush of enthusiasts threatens to swamp New Haven tonight. Hotel accommodations, unless reserved weeks in advance, are entirely out of the question. Yale and Harvard legions are ar- riving by train anj automobile from all parts of the country. The motor traffic is far greater than ever before and garage space cannot be had tonight at any price. Hundreds of cars are being parked upon private property, and their owners and guests being quartered In boarding-houses and at the homes of residents. The Yale team finished its prepara tion for the game this afternoon with a signal drill, and it was found that despite the excellent drainage system the field was water-soaked and heavy from the rain of yesterday. As a re sult it was decided to leave the grid iron uncovered tonight in the hope that the high wind would dry the turf to some extent. Favorable weather Is promised for the game, with cold, clear atmosphere. The Harvard squad 49 strong, and with eleven coaches, spent the day at New London and will come to New Haven by special train tomorrow. There was no practice except a short signal drill. As a relaxation the team was given a private view of the moving pictures of the Harvard-Princeton game, with Coach Haughton in the role of lec turer. The Yale squad spent the night In the Yale Infirmary, and It was an nounced that there would be no change in the lineup as previously announced, unless Laroche went in at quarterback in place o Smith. Final decision on this point will not be made until Just before the game. The Harvard eleven, it was said, would take the field as originally planned. The probable lineup: , I'r.tt r (in "Harvard.

He is not in the best of shape, as he strained a tendon in one of his knees a while back, which has permitted him to do no road work. However, he trusts that this will be worked out and that he will be able to fain a decision over George. If he wins he will stay in Bend in search of other matches.

Today's Schedule In Northwest. Oregon vs. Oregon Aggies at Corvallis. Willamette U vs. Multnomah Club la Portland. Idaho vs. College ttt Idaho at Caldwell. Washington State vs. Gonzaga at Spokane. BY P.OSCOE FAWCETT. Four games of importance, headlined by the championship battle between Oregon and the Oregon Aggies, com prise today's football menu in the Pa cific Northwest. Although a goodly crowd will view the Willamette versus Multnomah Club game On Winged "M" field, special and regular trains will take several hundred of the dyed-ln-th-w' en thusiasts to Corvallis for the annual state championship game between Ore gon and the Oregon Aggies. The Aggies have not been able to eke out a victory since 1907, although the teams tied in 1913 and 1914. Last year Oregon pulled out with a 9-0 vic tory on the terribly muddy field at Eugene, and, wet or dry, the powerful eleven coached by Bezdek ought to romp away with the victory again this year. The Aggies lost practically all of their stars of last year's team either by graduation or absence from col lege and, as the Coast conference rules forbid the use of the freshmen who did such stellar work' against Wash ington State and later against Ne braska, Coach Pipal must make the best of his lot with the residue. Washington beat the Aggies 35-0. so Oregon should run up 20 or 25 at the minimum to make good Its claims to an equal rating with the Seattle eleven. Very little betting Is being done. owing to .the practical certainty of the outcome. Some money is being laid on Oregon to win by from 10 to 20 points.

The Oregon Aggie football team rounded of two weeks of hard work with a light signal practice this afternoon. and is all ready for the game against the fast University of Oregon eleven on the Corvallis gridiron tomorrow aft ernoon. The men were in fine spirits today. and went through their paces with a dash and snap that has been charac teristic of their work of late.

Kach will start the game, however. . Coach Pipal was planning on start ing Russell at right guard on the strength of the scrappy game he put up against Washington. He has Just risen from a sickbed, however, and will not be able to play the entire game. but will play part ot the contest. The fact that the dope points to an overwhelming victory for Bezdek'a pupiLs has only made the Aggies all the more determined to put up a stub born front. "Just take It from me," declared Coach Pipal, as he watched his players hike for the showers this evening. that those Beavers are fighting mad. and Oregon will have a real football game on its hands all the way. Whether we win or lose, we will not bo out fought." Pipal has devoted the larger portion of the past two weeks toward improv ing the defense of his team, and the line that held Washington to one touch down in three quarters two weeks ago is much improved as a consequence. The men have been charging op ponents In a manner that indicates tough sledding for the plunges of "Shy" Huntington and his brother Hollis. The following players will start the game: Right end. Moist; right tackle, Brooke; right guard. Wilson: center, Selph; left guard, Williams; left tackle, McNeil; left end. Hubbard: quarterback, Morgan; left halfback.

While the annual football classic be tween the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College ks going on tjis afternoon at Corvallis. the Mult numuli Athletic Club eleven will be bat tling the Willamette University ath letes on Multnomah Field. Arrange ments were made by Superintendent Dow V. Walker, of the Winged "M" in stitution, to announce the scores of the Corvallis game here today. Coach "Spec" Hurlburt. of" the club men, thought It best not to work out under the arc lights last night, and aft er giving the boys a little talk, he dis missed them to the attention of Dr. Leslie Clough, the club physical di rector. Sam Dolan was selected to referee this afternoon, while Stanley Borleske. coach of the Lincoln High eleven, will be the umpire, and Homer, Jamison.' coach of the championship JefferBon High contingent, will have charge ot the line sticks. The game will start at 2:30 o'clock. Advance notices were to the effect that something like 300 rooters were accompanying the squad. The University of Oregon hit Wil lamette a 97-to-O blow last month, and Oregon trimmed Multnomah 28 to 0 at Eugene early this season. For that rea son the Multnomah representatives are out tooth and nail to "beat Oregon" Thanksgiving Day. A special rooters' section has been set aside for Mult nomah Club followers this afternoon, aad a yell leader will be selected to lend aid to the players on the field. Manager Convill was supposed to be the linesman In the Oregon-Oregon Ag gie game this afternoon, but he felt that he should remain in Portland while his team battled Willamette.

Coach Mathews has put his men through as bard a week's practice as they have had the entire season, and only eased up tonight, when he let them off with a fast 30-minute signal practice. With Jut one or two excep tions the men are in fine physical con dition. Ttvey will have to rely on this and speed to overcome the fact that they are outweighed about 20 pounds to the man.

BRONSOH DEFEATS JOHNSON FOR TITLE Coast Featherweight Honors Decided by Clean Win Over Colored Oakland Boxer. OTHER BOUTS ARE GOOD Blllle Xelson Gets Verdict Over Frankle Henlat, Who Makes Poor Showing, After Beins Out of Kins Two Years. Muffey Boichuk sure you know him but as "Muff" Bronson won the fea therweight clramplonship of the Pacific Coast in the main event of the Golden West Athletic League's show last night at the Rose City Athletic Club by win ning a- clean cut decision over Lee Johnson. African bone-crusher, from Oakland. Bronson' took everything Johnson had and kept coming up smiling and forcing the issue. At no time did he break ground. Fans who went to the club across the brink thinking that they would see Muffey dancing away from John son's famed right hand were sadly disappointed. For it was a different "Muff" Bronson whom they saw. Visiter Cecklly Confident. They looked upon a black haired boy with his teeth .set and a determined look on his face.' Johnson was "cockily" confident at the outset. He thought, or It Is presumed he thought, that things would buzz along for a couple of rounds and then he would land on the Portland pride with that good right mitt and the balance of the bout would bo a foot race with the Lee on the chasing end. Part of his plan went through O. K. He did connect and a couple or three times .solid In the first two cantos. But this did not feaze the Portland schoolboy. And the situation did not look at all pleasant to Lee after the second round, for he knew that he would have to mix and mix hard to win. Bronson landed as many puwiea as did Johnson, and forced the issue all the way. Johnson Knocked Down in Fifth. Johnson encountered difficulty In staying on his feet. He slipped to the floor in the first and fourth rounds, and whs really knocked down In the fifth, v.-hen Bronson came across with a straight left-hand Jab. Willie Ritchie, ex-lightweight cham pion of the world, who takes a great interest In Bronson. was his chief second. Billie Nelson won the verdict over Frankie Huelat at 130 pounds. It was tame until the fifth and sixth when Huelat rallied and saved the tilt from being a "fizzle" altogether. At that, the scrap was a poor one. Huelat, for mer crack 115-pounder for the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club, has not been In a ring for nearly two years and to he truthful looked sadly out of place. Perhaps a bout or two more will get him back to his old stride again for he used to be a good boy. Edwards and Oormaa Mix. Danny Edwards, colored, and Eddie Gorman, both Oakland bantamweights, put up a great exhibition of boxing. Edwards outpointed the latter and won the verdict. Tommy Clark, 140-pounder, and Frankie Sullivan. 130-pounder, staged the bloodiest and most ferocious battle of the night. It was called a draw, and rightly. Sullivan had a very slight shade, handing Tommy a shade worse licking than he took. Shel McCool and Ed Olson staged a good curtain-raiser with the former winning comfortably. Olson, who Is a newcomer, has dark red hair. He ap peared to be a fellow who had done a lot of shadow boxing in front of the looking, glass, for he started lots of punches which did not land. "Tex" Knisht and Carl Martin, 125-pounders, boxed to a draw in the opener. It was a laughable event. Jack Grant refereed with efficiency in the main event and in the Edwards Gorman tussle. "Denver Ed" Martin officiated in the rest. Jack Fahie and Carl Evans kept time and Johnny Bos covitoh announced. Over 1500 fans howled at the good programme run off smoothly.

Norman Ross, of Portland, Or., and Stanford University, swam 220 yards tonight at the Olympic Club here In 2 minutes 21 3-5 seconds, thereby establishing a new world record, according to the laws of the International Swimming Federa tion, officials of which supervised the swim. Harry Hebner. of Chicago, made the 220 yarde in 2:21 January 8. 1914, but as his performance was in a tank smaller than the federation rules per mit, his record was not recognized as official outside the United States.

The squad was In charge of Assistant Coach Wayne Sutton all afternoon. Head Coach Gilmour Dobie being ab sent on a business trip. It was the first practice the coach has missed in eight years. Sutton declared that the men had gone back considerably in the two days, and the workout was corre spondingly strenuous. "Hill" Grimm, over whom the strike occurred, was in a suit and turned out with the team. Sutton lacked a few men to make two teams, and Grimm turned out to be of what service he could. He played in Mayfield's tackle, the latter still suffering from a painful Injury sustained in the California game last Saturday.
