The game was slow, and marked with much fumbling and one or two "ivory" exhibitions. For the first half the play swayed back and forth, neither team placing the ball close enough to the other's territory to be dangerous. Kvery moment or two the ball changed hands on downs or a. fumble. illll .Shows More 'Pep.' In the -last half, however, Benson war powerless to stop Hill's onslaught. A 15-yard pass, Haines to Ball, and end runs, line plunges and line-smashes, put the ball within two inches of the Benson goal. Here Hill lost it on downs.- Campbell, Benson's left full back, attempted to punt out to safe ty from behind the goal, but the ball was blocked by Hill and bounded back. Several Benson men tried to recover it. but Right-End Ball, of Hill, was quicker and captured it for a touch down. Horton missed goal. In the final quarter both teams speeded up a bit and the play was con fined to the center of the field. Ki ll a I y Haines shot a forward pass to Day for 25 yards, and the ball was again in Benson's territory. Here Hill lost it on a fumble, but when Benson attempted a forward pass. Quarterback Churchill intercepted the ball and skirted Benson's right end for 15 yards. In the next play Captain Haines put the ball over for the final touchdown. The chance kick to goal was on a "boner" when the roan receiving the ball laid it on the ground before kick ing it. Scott Makes Good Gains. From then on the game was Benson's, or rather Fullback Scott's. The pep pery little player skirted Hill's ends and dove through the line for almost continuous yardage, until Referee Stubling's whistle announced the close of the game. Summary: Benson IU) Position.

The High School of Commerce turned out a biff&er crowd to witness the game than did Hill. The Financiers are vitally inter ested, as they must defeat at least one of these teams in order to escape being tail enders. Coach Campbell was there with ItfuKterson, Collison. Rutherford, Anderson, Rogoway, Penson, Wong. Pander and Heinie Wagner of the team, and about half of the Hchool's rooters besides. m m m Lots of "pep" was in evidence, the Benson contingent especially keeping up a. continu ous racket. Errol Briggs. ex-University of Washington tar and present Multnomah player, pulled hard for the winners. Briggs has not for gotten the days when he wore the Hill uni form and made the Interscholastic all-star team. When Hill scored its first touchdown, President Hill was mo enthusiastic that he nearly broke Coach Graham's spine slapping him on the back. Graham told the world a few things himself about football. m m m A near riot occurred in the stands Just before Hill scored the first six points. The Commerce contingent, seated in a section separate from the Hill and Benson rooters, legan giving yells for both teams. A Ben ttoiiite didn't care for the Hill rooting and proceeded to hit Yell Leader Pander on the head with a sack of peanut shells. The Fi nanciers immediately accepted the challenge, arose en masse and marched on the Benson section with flags flying. One of the pa trolmen on the field saw that there was "blood on the moon" and arrived Just be fore the hostilities began. Jameson of Jefferson. Kaufman and Dunne of Lincoln and Representative Bur ton of Washington witnessed the game. The High School of Commerce will play Washington High School at 3 P. M. today n Multnomah Field. J?1VA?!

Pacific Coast League Portland at Los Angeles. Vernon at alt Lake, ban Francisco at Oakland, HOPPE ARRIVES TO BOX rflUFF BRDNSDN San Francisco Lightweight Is Apparently in Good Condi tion for Clash. WORKOUT PLEASES FANS Californian Shows Surprising Pace In Training Portland Boxer Also Is Working Hard and Ready to Meet Visitor. Willie Hoppe, California lightweight, arrived in town yesterday looking fit for his six-round tilt with Muff Bron son here October 30. Hoppe is in the best of condition, as he has been doing a lot of hard work on his farm at Santa Rosa. Cal. Willfe was turned down by Uncle Sam for the Army, so he has gone back to the land to help his country. He has only two whole fingers on either hand. Several years ago on a Fourth of July, Willie, Red Watson and several other boxers were celebrating the FourtL in the old fashioned way with firecrackers and cannon. They had just opened up sev eral giant crackers and taken out the powder, putting it in a toy brass can non. Hoppe held the cannon in his hands while a friend of his rammed the powder. All of a sudden the can non exploded, taking six of' Willie's fingers off and alno several of his friend's fingers. After this accident he had to retire from the game and was told that he would never be able to don the gloves again. At that time he was at the height of his career. Last Winter his hands seemed in pretty good shape, so he decided to try the ring once more. After a few bouts his mitts did not bother him, so he has been boxing ever since and has beaten such boys as Joe Rivers, "Oak land" Frankie Burns, George Ingle and Johnny McCarthy. FanM ExprfM Surprise Hoppe trained at Mike Butler's School of Physical Culture yesterday and his mixing was a revelation to the crowd of fans who sav him work. "Never saw anything like it." was the general expression. If Willie keeps up the pace he set yesterday he will have to import a carload of sparring partners from San Francisco. Muff Bronson put in a hard day yes terday training with Weldon v ing, Northwest featherweight champion, and Fred Gilbert, the Bend welterweight. Muff is stepping In grand form and makes Wing and Gilbert extend them selves to stay with him. The way Wil lie fights, no matter who he goes In against, the fans always see a fight. and if there is someone in front of him to fight him back, the result is a real battle. Lloyd Madden, the Seattle light weight champion, is training in Seattle for his bout with Jack Wagner, the fast-coming Portland 135-poundor. Madden is going his best at present, and Wagner will have his hands full with him. If Jack beats Madden, he will be inclined to meet the best of them in the Northwest. Wagner Is working with Willie Hoppe. Fred Gilbert is out to stop the climb of Johnny Boscovitch. Bromeo Is Lauded. Claire Bromeo. the San Francisco featherweight who will meet Weldon Wing. Northwest champion. In the semiwind-up, is on his way to Port land from Salt Lake City and will ar rive tomorrow. Willie Hoppe says that he thinks Bromeo is one of the best featherweight prospects turned out of San Francisco in recent years and looks for him to give Wing the battle of his life for the title and adds that h would not be surprised if Bromeo beat Wing. The Portland fans know Weldon and they also know that it will take a mighty good boy to beat him. Joe Flan- igan does not seem to be worrying. Joe McCarthy will meet George Harty in the curtain-raiser. Both of these boys are new faces here and are ou( to mak good. HOCKEY SEASON TO OPEN BEAVERS AXD MOOSE TVILI, MEET AT LOCAL ICE PALACE.

Ertrj- One Attending; Corvallls Instltn tion Is Examined and Aaiflgned to Athletic Work. OREGON" AGRICULTURAL, COL. LEGE. Corvallis. Oct. 24. (Special.) Tho Oreg-on Agricultural College is this year bending- its energies toward per fecting the system of general college athletics and in physical education. Until comparatively recently the chief form of college athletic activities has been the spectacular, football for instance. Only a limited number of the male students possess qualities en abling them to play football. In actua figures about 3 per cent of the etudents are appearing in football suits five times a week. Umler the new system now employed by the Oregon Agricultural College, each student, upon registering, is re quired to deposit $1.50 for medical ex amination. Then before entering a gymnasium class or participating in any branch of athletics he gets an other examination- by the physical in structor, who then maps out a course ot exercises to be followed by the student. Strict attention is paid to see that these instructions are carried out. This refers to both girls and- boys. At present there are over 1000 men n the different athletic teams. These teams comprise such activities as foot ball, baseball, track events, soccer, ten nis, wrestling, basketball, handball, boxing, indoor baseball, volley ball and the gymnastic teams. As an illustra tion, there are now 24 indoor baseball teams. At a recent meeting of the athletic representatives of each club and fra ternity It was voted to abandon intra mural football this year and substitute for It tennis, cross-country runs and Indoor baseball. - If interest is shown in indoor baseball games will be ar ranged with other colleges. MARINES AGAIN VICTORS POWERFUL ELEVEN WALKS OVER ST. MARY'S. 27 TO 0. Johnny Beckett, ex-Oregon Star, and Quarterback Brown. ex-Pullman Player, Are Invincible. The United States Marines football squad, from Mare Island. Cal., took another fall out of one of the prom inent California schools, last Saturday, when they won from St. Mary"s College, 27 to 0. The Marines' eleven seems to have a copyright on the numeral 27, having won a number of their games, 27 to 0. The Navy boys have yet to be scored against, and will play one more game n California before coming north to meet the University of Oregon, Satur day. November 3, on Multnomah Field. Speaking of the Marines' attack. Jack James, a football writer on the San' Francisco Examiner, says. In part A3 for the Marines, it was Brown and Beckett, as usual. Brown is undoubtedly- the best quarterback on the Coast right now. "Brown s in town and, holy smoke,' he sure was in town. He scored three of the Marines touch downs and kicked a goal. He partici pated in. every rush for the goal, and he was the boy wonder when it came to smearing. "Meantime Johnny Beckett was not idle, by any means. His was tho re sponsibility, and his was tho strategy. And the way he broke away from the rest of the field to cut down runners was a joy to see. "Brown made the best run of the present football season not so much for the yardage gained, but for the way he zigzagged, dodged and eluded tacklcrs. He caught a long punt and the next thing the bewildered Saints knew he was 45 yards distant from that spot. And few of them saw him en route. "The fourth quarter brought open playing on both sides. The Marines were successful, on most occasions. The ball see-sawed down the field, and the Marines finally landed on the 15 yard line. The Marines' backs then got under way, and a couple of plays sent Brown across for the final score. 'A criss-cross forward 'pass. Brown to Huntington, netted 35 yards, and looked like a sure score, but Coreea tackled Huntington hard and saved the day." COAST CONFERENCE SET COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVES TO MEET IX SAX FRAXCISCO. Each School Muat Submit Llat of Par ticipants In Athletics With Com plete Record. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis, Oct. 24. (Special.) Secre tary A. D. Brown, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, today mailed notifi cations of the meeting of the Pacific Coast conference to be held in San X rancisco December 3, to all the mem bers of the conference. All matters of importance which should be considered by the board of control or faculty com mittee must be mailed immediately to the secretary.' A resolution was passed at the last session held in Seattle, December 2, 1916, requiring each member to mail to the secretary a certified list of all con testants engaged in conference games held between December 1, 1916, and De cember 1. 1917, upon notification of the date of the next meeting. This list is to contain each contes tant's name, residence, preparatory school, college and the number of years or participation in college athletics, the remunerative occupation or occu pations engaged in by each certified contestant during his period of partici pation in athletics, together with the amount of time spent and the wages per hour earned. This Is Intended as a check upon all professionalism. A definite place of meeting in San Francisco has not yet been arranged, but the members of the conference will be notified as soon as this has been settled. . CLUB TO PLAY TROOPS MCLTXOMAH AXD FORT STEVEXS ELEVENS MEET SATURDAY. Soldier Team From Mouth of Columbia River Is Said to Be In Con dition for Hard Game. The Multnomah. Amateur Athletic Club football team will play the Fort Stevens eleven next Saturday at Mult nomah Field. Manager George Bertz has been trying to arrange this game for some time, but was unable to con clude the final arrangements until yesterday, when he received word that the soldier team would come to Port land Saturday on a special train, ac companied by its band and 300 rooters. The - soldier boys from down the river have been practicing for almost four weeks with the other company squads at Fort Stevens and other near by Government stations and Manager Bertz anticipates a much harder strug gle than the club has yet faced. It will be the first time that Fort Stevens has played Multnomah since 1905. when the cardinal and white crew won from the soldier eleven, 18 to 5. It has been 12 years since that meeting and the boys who now form the con tingent from Fort Stevens are anxious to wipe out the old score of days gone by. Big Jim Cossman, former University of Oregon grid star, is among the sol dier moleskin artists who will line up against Multnomah. Cossman writes that the boys are ready for a rattling good game and that the 300 rooters and their band will make enough noise to rock the props under Multnomah's grandstand. The game will be called at 2:30 oCclock, ...... JUDGE HURLS MORE FIGURES AT CRITICS Los Angeles Magnate's Talk of . Substituting Sacra mento Proves Piffle. SENATORS FAIL TO PAY Books Indicate That California Capital's Average Payment to Portland Per Week in Six Years Is Only $771.93. While the liberty loan enthusiasts were parading the street yesterday Judge William Wallace McCredie. with a half dozen liberty bonds tucked away in his safe, was busy gathering more data for the southern writers and magnates to foozle with until such time as the next meeting of the Pa cific Coast League directorate. When the judge called it quits yes terday he went out and purchased a pair of logger's boots and departed late last night for a trip to the north fork of the Lewis River, where he has valuable timber interests which need his attention. He promised some more fedder for the edification of the south erners when he returns Friday night. If Johnny Powers, the Los Angeles magnate, is sincere in his declaration that Portland be dropped from the Pa cific Coast League and that Sacra mento be substituted in order that the transportation bills would not be so healthy looking after each trip, he had better change his cry of distress to some other channel, because Judge Mc Credie yesterday showed that in the six years in which Sacramento was a member of the Coast League, from 1909 to 1914, Portland's average payment per week to the other clubs was $1826.21. while Portland received In the same period from Vernon $2026.95: Los Angeles. $1629.93, and Sacramento, $771.93. Judge McCredie said that Sacramento paid Portland more than it did any other club. The main reason for this was the tight race for first place in 1913, when Portland and Sacramento drew the largest crowd that ever wedged into the Senators' park. Port land's share of the week's receipts was $1393.34. "Happy" Hogan's Vernon Tigers played the following week at Sacramento and Hogan later Informed Judge McCredie that Vernon's share for the week was about $400. The Port- and club shows a balp.nce In the Beav- eis favor against toacramemo oi $1054.28, which. Judge McCredie says, will more than pay transportation from San Francisco, the center of the league, to Portland and return and give the Coast League clubs a larger amount of money than Sacramento could pay leaving the transportation ena or me argument out. ' What Judge McCredie endeavored to do yesterday was to produce figures which would show up the soutnern calamity howlers. "If Tom Darmody, of the Vernon club, and Johnny Pow ers, of Los Angeles, are sincere in their efforts to oust Portland from the Pa cific Coast League in favor of Sacra mento, the logical way to nanaie tne situation would be to drop Los An ereles instead of Portland, because the judge's figures show that Portland and Vernon paid Detter man me i-os An geles club per week during the six years that Sacramento was in the league, based on Portland's receipts with Los Angeles and Vernon.

Paul Rader, ex-Pacific Coast Atlilete, Eulogizes Pugilist. CHICAGO. Oct. 24. Robert Kitzslm mons. who died here last Monday after a week's Illness of lobar pneumonia, was buried today at Graceland Ceme tery. The funeral services were held in the Moody Tabernacle, conducted by Rev. Paul Rader, an athlete In his col lege days on the Pacific Coast. Three thousand persons, from all walks of life attended the services and Hied by the b.er at their close. "This man fought many battles," Mr. Rader said, "and tasted the sweets of victory more often than he did the acid of defeat; but he never fought a greater fight than the one with himself which led to renunciation of the old for the new man. It took courage to face the contemptuous laugh, the sneer, the doubt cast on his sincerity when the big athlete submitted to baptism by the little Baptist clergyman at Los Ange les. His baptism was the symbol of the casting off of the old man for the new. "All the world despises a quitter; all the world admires a hero. Bob fought his final fight as he had fought his ring battles with indomitable courage. The son of an Episcopal clergyman, his early training was never wholly forgotten and helped him in his final victory that over death.

Smith, Manager 108 Third Street Near Washington NEW BOUT SOUGHT Effort Made to Get Match for Chet Mclntyre. EXPERIENCE IS GREAT Edward Hill, ex-Sporting Writer, Who Manages Man Who Beat Hasan, Declares Mclntyre Has Much Fighting Ability. Following Chet Mclntyre's victory over Ed Hagen, the Seattle policeman- boxer, whom he stopped in the second round Tuesday night, Edward Hill, former Portland sport writer, who manages Mclntyre and is here on a visit, got busy in an endeavor to line up something here for the veteran. "Mclntyre will make a lot of heavy weights look like they are tied to the ring posts despite the fact that they call him an 'old man' in San Fran cisco," says Hill. The sporting writer-manager wants to get a chance to match Mclntyre with any heavy on the Coast. He would like to land a bout with either of the Kendalls or Jack Clifford. Hill declares' that Mclntyre has the only rightful claim to the Pacific Coast heavyweight championship. He says: Meehaa'a Talk Called Bunk. "Chet defeated Willie Meehan in Se attle in a bout that was billed for the title. The San Francisco papers car ried stories to this effect before Meehan ever left the Bay City. The stories he told when he returned to San Fran cisco about not fighting for the cham pionship were bunk pure and simple. 1 saw him in Seattle every day previous to the bout and was not at that time interested in whether Mclntyre won or not. "Boxing is Mclntyre's work. He left the Seattle Amateur Athletic Club, where he was employed many years as boxing instructor, to take up the same line of work at the Smelter Athletic Club at Ruston, a suburb of Tacoma. The club is operated for the benefit of the men who work in the large smelter there. Much Experience Had. "Prior to taking the Seattle position Mclntyre turned out amateur cham pions for the Vancouver Commercial Athletic Club. Many of his boys from both Seattle and Vancouver have been seen at the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club smokers in the past. Chet has turned out more amateur cham pions than any other instructor with the exception of De Witt Van Court, veteran of the Los Angeles Amateur Athletic Club, who is now training the soldiers to box at Camp Lewis. "Among some of the better known boys who first learned the rudiments of the boxing game from Chet are Lloyd Madden, soon to be seen here in a bout with Jack Wagner; Harry An derson, former Northwest lightweight champion; Billy Soules, Val Sontag, Archie Wyard, Henry Gleason, Irving Gleason, . Lonnie Mcintosh, Pat Scott, Eddie Pinkman and many others of like caliber." FRANK FEY CLl'B CHAMPION Waverlcy Honors Won From A. E. AV. Peterson in Close Match.
