THE -3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, XOVE3IBEU 2, 1917. MARINE-OREGON INTEREST IS HIGH One of Largest Crowds Ever Gathered at Multnomah Field Expected. PASADENA GAME WANTED Slarinos Hope to Make Record That Will Take Them to Rose Carni val Officers and Officials to Attend Tomorrow. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Tf the beautiful, 'balmy weather which has graced our fair city during the past , few months lingers in our midst until tomorrow and there is every indication that it ' will the famous United States Marine's football squad from Mare Island, Cal., and the Uni versity of Oregon eleven will stage their mnch-talked-about contest before one of the largest football gatherings that ever invaded Multnomah Field, if the football dopesters care to be taken seriously. Only one previous football contest on Multnomah Field has occasioned as much gossip as tomorrow's big game, and that was the Washington-Oregon clash of 1914. The Mare Island aggregation are go ing to pile up as big a score as they possibly can against Oregon, while on the other hand, Hugo Bezdek has in stilled the "Oregon" fight into the green and lemon-yellow aggregation, and they promise a sweet surprise for Uncle Sammy's heroes from the south. Captain Johnny Beckett and his com rades are anxious to make a big show ing. against Oregon because the results of tomorrow's game against Hugo Bez dek's men will have a lot of weight with the Pasadena tournament of roses sports committee, and if the Marines can hold Oregon scoreless and repeat the dose at Tacoma next week," when they face the All-Officers' eleven in the Tacoma Stadium, the Mare Island delegation will have a good chance of representing the West in the annual football classic staged at Pasadena on New Year's day. Nothing definite has been done to wards selecting a representative for the West, but it is known that the Marines are being seriously considered. Team Here Today. The personnel of the famous Marine contingent which will arrive this morn ing and quarter at the Imperial Hotel is made up as follows: First Lieuten ant Newton Best, U. S. M.

' The Marines will leave Sunday night for Eugene, where they will be quar tered until time to leave for Tacoma, where they play the All-Officers' eleven at the Tacoma Stadium November 10. Colonel Junei Coming:. Out-of-town orders are coming in for seat reservations and all indications point to a record-breaking crowd. The Camp Lewis representatives at tomor row's big game will be Lieutenants W. L. Stanton and A. A. Bynon. Lieutenant Lane, athletic officer at Fort Stevens, will represent the down-river military contingent. Colonel Jones, commandant at "Van couver Barracks, and his staff will oc cupy seats in the grandstand with Gov ernor Withycombe. Major Lowndes, commanding the Western recruiting di vision of the United States Marine Corps; Lieutenant Hammond, In charge of the Oregon recruiting stations; Mayor George L.

The game will start at 3 o'clock sharp. TURKEY" SHOOT NOVEMBER 11 Portland Gun Club Will Hold Event at Everdlng Park. The first turkey shoot of the Fall is announced by the Portland Gun Club, to be staged at 'Everding Park Sun day, November 11." A large turnout is expected by club officials. The shoot will be divided into five bird events, the idea being to give the inexperienced marksman a better chance to bag a prize. Shells being di vided among the five events gives every entrant a chance at a bird in each of the frames. Instead of awarding "turkeys" ex clusively this year the club will issue orders that may be cashed for turkeys, hams or pork. It is suggested that if the club call, its event a pig shoot a larger crowd would turn out. as the average amateur has an idea that he could bag a swine easier than he could a turkey. Prize slips at this event will not have to be cashed immediately, but may, if desired, be cashed at the holder's convenience. Y. M. C. A. Yannigans Play. Two "yannigan" football teams, made up of the younger athletes of the Port land Young Men's Christian Associa tion, and headed respectively by 'Pill" Irvine and Haddon Rockhey. clashed in a peppery if impromptu game last Sat urdav, and when the dust had cleared "Pill's" aggregation had been wal loped, 30-18. So much fun was gotten out of the affair that another pair of "yannigans" from the same organiza tion arc scheduled for battle next Saturday.

GOOD SHOWING IS MADE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ELEVEN DE FEAT MOUNT TABOR. Schedule I Arranged With Teama of InterMcholantlc Leag-ue and Prospects Are Bright. Christian Brothers Business College has put out an independent team this Fall which has made a very creditable showing. In the recent game with Mount Tabor Park the business college boys were the victors In a tight 10-12 score. Dunbar, White and Eddie Ryan were whirlwinds on the grid, and the players are so encouraged with their first showing that they have arranged an independent schedule with the schools of the Interscholastic League, to which organization they applied for regular admission, but were refused, as the league already has nine mem bers. While the C. B. team undoubted ly will go down to defeat at the hands of the league leaders, nevertheless they figure to hold their own with the second division teams and the cellar trio. It is rumored that the college is to be admitted to the league later in the Fall, in time 'for them to enter a basketball team. Christian Brothers has always turned out one of the most powerful independent teams in the city, it will be remembered, and the school would have an even chance for the league pennant with, the best of the old-timers. Further rumor has it that Christian Brothers will enter a team in the foot ball race next year, and that the en trance of the tenth team will mark the splitting of the league into two di visions of five teams each, so that the elevens will not be required to play hopelessly out of their class.

Commerce dropped to the bottom of the list yesterday by losing to James John in a fairly fast game, 33 tb 0. The school's average doesn't change, but the team bears the distinction, for 24 hours at least, of having lost the most games this year. A crowd of about 200 witnessed the game. Commerce turned out 75 root ers and Johnny Johnson, who leads the league in Individual racket-making. The game got a fast start. Heinle Wagner kicked off for Commerce. William Schroeder received, and on the next play opened up the invincible forward-pass system that has made James John famous overnight through out the league. Right End Spackman received the pass, broke through the Commerce backfield and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Schroeder kicked goal. The same pass system netted two more touchdowns before the first period was over, made on passes re ceived by Hoody Smith and Thompson. Bill Schroeder kicked one goal and missed the other. Commerce Take Brace. Then the Commercial lads got a line on how to handle the aerial work and not only held James John scoreless, but had a shade the better of the second quarter. Naturally versatile players, they matched James John's style, play for play, something that Washington and Benson could not do in the games when they were blanked by James John's bewildering open work. In straight line-smashing Commerce had the best of it. Heinie Wagner torpedoed the line for seven yards. Spracken fol lowed suit for five, Heinie came back again with another seven, and, to cap the climax. James John got a five-yard penalty. Here Commerce lost the ball on a fumble, and its best chance to register was gone. The third quarter was very exciting. The East Siders twice passed the ball down inside Commerce's five-yard line, and both times the Financiers ran their ends in. making a pass impractical, and held the line for downs. On the last time, after Commerce had kicked out to safety, nimble-footed Right Half Girt, of James Johns, skirted right end and established a league record with a 85-yard run and a touchrown. Goal was missed. This was really a piece of hard luck for the Financiers, as they worked hard twice to stave off touchdowns, and then, after working themselves out of a hole, promptly fell in again by slacking up for a moment. J am en John Often Penalized. Toole, fullback, made the final touch down in the last quarter. Passes, as usual, put the ball in Commerce's ter ritory in the first place, and the back field man outran the Commerce end and scored in the last few moments of play. James John had a tough time of It with penalties, getting 75 yards as sessed against them. The Financiers were luckier and did not get penalized at all. Summary: James John 33).

Commerce's best playing came from rather unexpected quar ters. Bob Meyer leading the stars, having even Heinle Wagner in tow. Substitute Quarterback Anderson played a fine game, as did Masterson. of the regulars. Meyer, Oliver and Anderson, of Commerce, each intercepted passes, and altogether the team managed to block more than any of James John's opponents have yet done. Coach Campbell, of Commerce, is the athletic Instructor of the James John boys as well, and much good-natured kidding went on between the bench, and the field. When leather-lunged Johnny Johnson took it into his head to do a little rooting, play was suspended on the field until the din had subsided sufficiently for the team to hear the quarterback call signals. Commerce was weakened by the loss of Morris Rogoway. known as the brainiest quarter in tne league, and Paul Kroll, the stonewall lineman. Both these players will be back in the lineup next Thursday, when for the first time this season Commerce will play a team in its own class. Benson and the Financiers then will meet for the second lap of the subway championship series. HUNT CLUB PAPER CHASE SET Event Tomorrow Will Mark Open ing of Fall and Winter Season.

Portland Players Enjoy Foursome on Grounds of Portland Golf Course Following Arrival, Six members of the Portland Base ball Club arrived in the city yesterday, coming direct from Los Angeles, where the Beavers concluded their 1917 sched ule.

"We lost a lot of close games by one run, and if we had got our share of the luck we would have finished in the first division. "We did not hear much talk about the other magnates going to vote Port land out of the Pacific Coast League. All we know about the mixup is what we read in the papers." Rodgers will start his auto-selling campaign next week, and will be a real busy man during the Winter. Bill's notebook contains a score of prospect ive customers. FAST BOXERS MATCHED MIFF BRONSO.V TO BATTLE ALEX TRAMBITAS NOVEMBER. S3. Youngsters Scheduled to Appear Voder Auspices of Korthwest Athletic Club Fana Delighted. The Northwest Athletic Club threw a bombshell into the camp' of the hun dreds of boxing fans yesterday, when they announced the signing ot Alex Trambitas and Muff Bronson as the main bout for the .club's opening smoker at the Eleventh-street playhouse Fri day evening, November 23. This much sought after bout has long been considered a real treat and many promoters have been angling for the services of these two lads, but until yesterday it has been impossible to gather the two promising ypungsters together for a conference. Bronson's wonderful fight against Willie Hoppe last Tuesday night stamps him as being better than ever before. The way Muff tore into Hoppe and took the best and hardest punches the Cali fornian could land on him without flinching, again put him in the good graces which he once occupied. In fighting Trambitas Bronson will face a youth who is regarded by fistic experts as having a wonderful future in the fistic firmament. The young Rou manian, who is Just past his 16th birth day, has all the earmarks of a coming champion. He never met an opponent of Branson's caliber even though he defeated Peter Mitchie and the latter won from Bronson. The Trambitas-Bronson bout will be the windup of an all-star card which will be announced later. AUTO FACTORIES OFFERED Reorganization of Great Industry Will Aid Nation in War. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Reorganiza tion of the automobile industry to aid in the prosecution of the war. to be discussed tomorrow by manufacturers and the war industries board of the Council of National Defense, has met with such general approval from manu facturers that no difficulty seems to stand in the way of a working agree ment. Confidence was expressed to night that outlines of reorganization could be determined- quickly and that the great motor factories of the coun try soon would be turning out war sup plies. - The board had under consideration a plan suggested by Howard E. Coffin contemplating the diversion of 40 per cent of each plant to. the production of airplanes, munitions and other - war commodities. PIPAL SHIFTS 1H Prospects for Oregon Aggie Eleven Seem Poor. TACKLE HOLMES OUSTED Star - Tackle From Occidental Re quested to Hand in Suit Cpon Return From California ' and Hole Is Hard to Fill. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 1. (Special.) Prospects on the campus do not loom up to a very great degree of brightness today. Un der Coach Pipal's shifting, only three of the old men of last year's squad are occupying their old familiar berths. These are Captain Newman, at full; "Cap" Hubbard, at end, and Selph, at center. On the return from California it was found necessary to request Holmes, star tackle from Occidental, to hand in his suit, and be dropped from the squad. This leaves an opening hard to ill, as Holmes was one of the best men on the line. Bissett has been shifted from end in an attempt to plug the gap. Webster and Akins are taking care of Bissett's wing position. On account of having a heavy course this year, Dick Williams has found It necessary to drop football for the rest of the season. One other surprise is that Cole, the big guard, seems to be in danger of being crowded out by Perry, a hard-working youngster. Johnson, the other guard, was one of the hardest playing men in the line against the Southerners in last Satur day's game. Aajgles Work Hard. This week the eleven has been put through hard scrimmage practice until the ball cannot be seen on account of darkness. A change of lineup at this time almost spells catastrophe, with the Multnomah game Saturday and the game with Washington State November 10. The importance of this game is not realized by many. Not only are the Aggies anxious to make a good show ing on home-coming day, but the Northwest Conference hinges on the outcome. Beatie's injured nose will keep him out of the game with Multnomah and probably with Washington State. Coach Pipal has had many trials this season, commencing with a late start. Lodell, his star punter, is not working up to expectations on account of in juries to his back. This last arrange ment ot the squad before a game has come as an unexpected blow. Credit should be given Coach Pipal for devel oping the team that he now has. de spite many criticisms of the showing of the Aggies last week. Hooks to Meet Soldiers. Friday night the Aggie rook eleven, under the care of Coach "Scooty" Dut ton, will go to Tacoma. where they will engage the championship eleven of Camp Lewis Saturday. Yesterday, in scrimmage, Jimmy Cameron, quarterback for the rooks, sustained a dislocated shoulder. Cam eron's run in the game with the In dians last Saturday won for the rooks. However, he will be used In the game with the soldiers. 2 HURT IN AUTO WRECK FRANCIS COATES, OF ALBANY, MAY DIE OF BROKEN SKILL, Riley Waller Suffera Fractured1 Rib Also When Machine Plunges Into Ditch and Vpsets. ALBANT. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) Francis Coates. lineman for the Pa cific States Telephone & Telegraph Company here, probably was fatally injured in an automobile' accident Just north of Jefferson at 7 o'clock tonight. He was pinned beneath the car when it plunged from a bridge and dropped 10 feet into a dry gulch. He suffered a fractured skull. With Coates were Riley Waller and E. Miles, also linemen here, and S. J. Farley, clerk in the wire chief's of fice in Albany, all being employes of the same company. Waller suffered a fractured rib and severe bruises and the other two escaped with bruises. The injured men were taken to the local hospital. Physicians say Coates has no chance for recovery. The four men were en route to Sal em and are said to have been running slowly when they went into this bridge, which is in a hollow and hard to see until a car is almost upon it. Just what caused the machine to swerve is not known, but it hung for a moment on the edge and then turned over, carrying all four passengers un derneath it. Farley and Miles, who were in the back seat, soon extricated themselves, but the machine had to be raised to release Coates. who was driv ing, and Waller in the front seat with him. Coates, who is about 31 years old. has a wife and child. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Coates, of Albany, and was reared here, but had resided until recently at Grants Pass. He is a brother of Alton B. Coates, former wire chief here, but now in the Government Signal Corps. LA FOLLETTE FLAYS MOB Letter Written to Rev. Mr. Bigelow, Recently Whipped at Newport, Ky. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Senator La Follette made public tonight a letter he had written to the Rev. Mr. Bigelow. recently whipped by a mob for alleged disloyal acts. He denounced the whipping as "an attack upon the liberty of every citizen of this republic." and said that if as press reports indicate, "officials charged with the administration of justice failed in their duty other means would be found to unmask and punish those who made the attack."
