The game was marked by several unusual events, Badley breaking the 85-yard record established on the previous day by ; Girt, of James John. The Franklin man . intercepted a pass on his own ten yard line and ran 90 yards down the . field for a touchdown. Franklin kicked two field goals. During the first quarter. Franklin ; had a tough time getting started. Much to its annoyance, little Bill Camp ' bell, of the Mechanics, insisted, on run : ning the man who had the ball back of . his own starting-place and held the . league leaders for three losses, forc- tag them to punt out. Franklin finally : got ' the ball, iowever, and with the - aid of two end runs by Brown ' and ;one by Borelli put the ball on Ben son's ten-yard line, where, after a hard tussle, Barbur carried it over on the final down. Brown kicked goal. Scoring Is Frequent. The second quarter saw three touch downs, by Brown, Thompson and Badley. Long end runs by the fleet Franklin backfield did the trick, Prit ' chard, substitute halfback, doing espe cially effective work. Brown also made a 30-yard getaway, but was brought down by a fine tackle by Winifred Scott before he had cleared the Benson backfield. Badley kicked one goal and Brown the other two. The third quarter was fiercely fought and when the smoke of battle was over Franklin had added but three- points to its total score. Pritchard kicked a beautiful field goal from the 20-yard . line, acting on orders from Coach j Uewey to try for goals wlien near enough to make it practical, instead of trying to smash over for a touch ' down. Scott Play Well. At the start of the third quarter, Badley also tried his luck at a field goal and got away with it, as had Pritchard. Then came the really ex- citing part of the game. Once the play was returned to the center of the field, Benson took the initiative and what Coach Wells' lads did and threatened to do brought both sections of the stands to their feet. Winifred Scott, better known as "Scotty," pro ceeded to smash directly through the Franklin line, shaking off or evading all resistance and when he was final ly brought down he had made 25 yards. That put a world of pep in the - Mechanics and aided by line bucks and end runs by the backfield, they put the ball on Franklin's ten-yard line. Two , smashes failed to make yardage, so "Scotty" elected to shoot a pass, a la Lincoln High, across the Franklin goal. Here Badley intercepted the pass, ' skirted the entire Benson aggregation and returned the ball 30 yards for a touchdown. Brown kicked goal and the game was over. Summary: Franklin (41). Benson (01.

OREGON'S MAINSPRING IN TODAY'S CLASH WITH FAMOUS . MARINES' FOOTBALL ELEVEN. BILL. FINE CARD SIGNED Joe Benjamin Will Box With Harry Anderson. CANADIAN CLAIMS TITLE Smoker Scheduled for November 13 Also Will Include Bout Between Billy Mascott and Joe Gor man, Featherweights. Harry Anderson, claimant of the lightweight championship of Canada and one of the fastest 133-pounders on the Pacific Coast, has signed a con tract to box Joe Benjamin in the main event of the newsboys' boxing show at the Eleventh Street Playhouse, No vember 13. Benjamin and Anderson should put up one of the best bouts witnessed here in some time. Both boxers are fast, clever boys and have met the best men at their weight in this part of the country. Anderson's most notable fistic feat was holding Freddie Welsh to a draw in four rounds in Seattle last Winter. Welsh was lightweight champion of the world at that time and had a close call with Anderson, who actually out boxed the clever Englishman for four rounds. Besides meeting Welsh, Harry has fought such boys as Eddie Pink man, Travie Pavis, Lloyd -Madden, Chet Neff, Joe Bailey, Johnny O'Leary, Muff Bronson and Eddie Campi. An derson is a Canadian and Vancouver, B. C, is his home town. " He has met all of the best-known boys in Canada and has as strong a claim to the cham pionship of that country as anyone, now that Johnny O'Leary is through. Anderson Is Improved. Anderson won an easy decision from Lloyd Madden in Seattle several weeks ago. His bout with Madden was a sort of tryout for him, as he has just re covered from two operations for ap pendicitis. His victory over Madden proves that he is at his former stride and he says that he feels in better health than ever. Benjamin is coming fast and made the California lightweights go into hid ing when he invaded that state. While in the south, Joe beat Dick Kendall, Chet Neff and Willie St. Clair. Kendall was considered lightweight champion of the Coast in San Francisco when Joe fought him. After his bout with Ken dall he was unable to coax any more of the Bay City boys at his weight into the ring with him, so he went to Los Angeles and took on Chet Neff and handed him a good lacing. Since his return to Portland Benjamin met Lloyd Madden and put uV a good bout with him. Joe says that he was not in the best of condition for Madden, but that he certainly is going to make the going fast for Anderson. Mnscott to Box Gorman. Joe Simonds, matchmaker of the Newsboys' Club, has also signed Billy Mascott to box Joe Gorman, Abe Gordon against Danny Edwards and Jack Wag ner to meet Lloyd Madden. Any one of the above bouts is good enough for a main event and it looks like the fans are in to see another cracker-jack show of all-star bouts. Mascott and Gorman have met three times and each time put up a hurricane battle. Gorman is now the feather weight champion of the Pacific Coast and will have to defend his title against Mascott, Madden and Wagner fought at the Columbia Boxing Club show October 30 and slammed each other from gong to gong, making a great hit with the fight fans, and put up the best bout of the evening, according to many of those present and the amount of applause nanaect them. PULLMAN IS CONFIDENT WASHIXCTOS STATE EXPECTS TO TRIM IDAHO BV BIG SCORE. Prediction Is Made That Coach Diets1 Men Will Exceed Last Tear's Mark of 31 to 0. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Nov. 2. (Special.) Washing ton State College football team will enter the. Idaho game tomorrow deter- mined to win for the third consecutive time from the Gem Staters. Further more. Captain Zimmerman, in an ad dress to the student body, declared that there was every probability of 1; year's lopsided score of 3,1 to 0 being bettered. The team will enter the game in excellent condition. Coach Dietz said today that he would start his regular lineup against Idaho, but should a good, score be run up STEERS. by these veterans he would give every man on the squad who has trained consistently and who has shown to advantage a thorough trial in prepara tion for the game with the Oregon Ag gies a' week from Saturday. Captain Zimmerman and Roy Hanley will start on the winga with Herreid and Hamilton at the tackles. McCroskey and Stitea at guard, and Bob Schnebley at center. Dick Hanley will replace Kienholz at quarterback with Bangs and Wexler at the halves and Doane at fullback. Glover, C. Boone and Gillis are the backfield substitutes. ARMY-NAVV GAME CANCELED Cadets Will Meet Boston College on Date Originally Set. WEST POINT, N. Y.. Nov. 2. No Army and Navy football game will be played this season, according to an an nouncement tonight by Captain J. E. McMahon, football representative in the Army athletic Council. On November 24, the date set for the game, the Army will meet Boston College, Captain Mc Mahon said. Tomorrow the West Pointers will meet Notre Dame. GAMP CUSTER ASPIRANT OFFICERS' TEAM WOULD PLAY CAMP LEWIS FOR. TITLE. Mare Inland Marines' Eleven Would ' Meet Eastern Champions If Schedule Win Permit. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 2. (Special.) The Camp Custer Officers' football team, representing the states of Michigan and Wisconsin, has defeated every team it has played in the Middle West and has laid claim to the service championship of the United States. The team' has challenged the American Lake Officers' team, which, the officers say, is the only serious contender for the title, to a game at Pasadena for charity at the Carnival of Roses. The Camp Custer men have beaten every team in the Central West which disputed the title, so an inter sectional game is . now proposed. The officers in their challenge tele graphed to Tacoma today proposing that the proceeds of the game be ap plied to mess funds of the enlisted men of the new Army, with an equal division between the American Lake and Camp Custer camps. When the above dispatch was shown to Lieutenant Best, Lnlted States Ma rine Corps, who is in charge of the Mare Island Marines' football team, at the Imperial Hotel last night, he said: "They evidently have the teams mixed up. I do not know of any college team which the Camp Lewis Officers have played outside of Washington State, therefore there must be some confusion in their telegram. We would be pleased to meet the Camp Custer eleven, provided we are victorious against the University of Oregon and the All-Officers' team at Camp Lewis, which we meet next week. "I have contracted to meet a team at Los Angeles and also the service team at San Diego after our present tour of the -Northwest,1 and if the team Is vie torious in all of these engagements it will be a great pleasure to meet any eleven which cares to play the Mare Island boys on any grounds whereby funds might be raised to go to the mess funds of the enlisted men in the Na tional Army. "We are certain we have the greatest football aggregation in the country and do not bar any college, university or service team in the United States. We will be able to tell you how cor rect we are after we play at Tacoma next week. Uniforms Sent to Camp Iewls. TACOMA. Wash.. Nov. 2. (Special.) Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash ington American League club, is send ing 32 complete baseball outfits of suits, gloves and all the other essen tials of the game to Camp Lewis. They may be a bit late for th?s season, but they will come in fine for early next Spring and fine days during the Win ter. Griffith's action was taken on the request ot Harry Kingman, former ma jor leaguer and close friend of the Washington manager, who is a mem ber of Company 14, 166th Depot Bri gade. Hood River 34, Camas 12. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) The Hood River High School football team won a fifth decisive victory for the season today, defeating Camas, Wash., High, 34 to 12. Numerous sen sational plunges were made by Blow ers, Henderson and Baily for Hood River. Camas' touchdowns were made on fluke forward passes of the local boys. Hieks, of the local team, played the game with a broken nose. Indians 0, Oregon Frosh 0. CHEMAWA, Or., Nov. 2. The Uni versity of Oregon freshman football team and the Salem Indian School team played a scoreless tie hero today.

Admission $1. including re served seat. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. With the famous Mare Island Marines' football eleven and the Universltv of Oregon warriors on the job all that remains for today's big battle is one piping toot of Referee Dolan's whistle. The Marines arrived vesterdav all spick and span and ready for the Job cut out for them this afternuoon on Multnomah' Fieia, wnere they will en tertain Hugo Bezdek's University of Oregon maulers In the first big foot- Dau game scheduled for Portland this season. Captain Johnny Beckett and the Marines' squad arrived at 10 o'clock yesterday morning being two hours late and are quartered at the Imperial Hotel. Lieutenant Newton Best called the squad into conference and thev immediately were trundled to Mult nomah Field, where they went through a light workout after which they made tnemaclves at home in the Multnomah Club and later on attended the Franklin High-Benson interscholastic football game. Hard Game Expected. We are ready for a gruelling game." said Captain Beckett, "and we will be out there to give old Oregon and the fans the best we have in our football vocabulary. We want that Pasadena game and want it bad. If we can hold Oregon scoreless and do the same to the All Officers' eleven at Tacoma next week I think the Pasadena peo ple will give our eleven considera tion when making their decision as to the Western team for the big New Year's game during the Tournament of Roses. We have our lieutenants wltli us and they are our best friends. I never saw a set of officers take as much in terest and pride in an eleven as the Mare Island officers do in our team. We have given them the best we have and there is not a man from the com mandant at Mare Island to the gate keeper at the Vallejo ferry who would not Bwear by us. We are out to win today and by as big a score as pos sible." The University of Oregon aggrega tion came to Portland yesterday morn ing and are domiciled at the Imperial Hotel. Bezdek's men are not the least bit downcast over today's game with the Marines, but on the other hand are going into the fray with a determ ination to battle the Marines to a finish. Steers Is Depended On. The Oregon squad Is relying on Bill Steers and his mighty toe together with his line plunging ability to sur prise the Marines. Steers is the one big shining star in the Oregon lineup and Bezdek has been building his squad around the rugged youngster from The Dalles. In the Idaho game at Eugene last week it was nothing to see Steers tearing through the line for big yardage with 7 or 8 Idaho warriors clinging to his shoulders. Bezdek has his boys ready for a stiff argument. Nothing would be a bigger feather in Bezdek's cap than to be the first football eleven to score on the famous Marines. Twice have Beckett and his cohorts managed to whitewash the University of California Bears. Only one week ago they ap plied another coat of kalsomine to the fast and heavy St. Mary's College eleven. If Bezdek instills the Oregon fight into the boys and they come through like they did at Eugene last week the Marines are going to know they have been in a battle. "Baz" Williams was brought along with the Oregon team and may get chance to play after the first quarter. Bezdek will in all probability start Berg, the Portland youth, and if neces sary Williams will be used later. Oregon's Chances Slim. Oregon is not being conceded any chance to win today's battle. To figure such a state of affairs when classing the wonderful aggregation of experi enced players which the personnel of the Marine lineup contains against the inexperienced youths which Bezdek has moulded into football contingent, would be like trying to eat soup with a fork. But the Oregon boys are all over flowing with "pep" and are determined to give the Marines one of the stiffest arguments they have had. The Marines and Oregon squads ac companied by the local recruiting offi cers and led by the regimental band from Vancouver barracks will parade on Multnomah Field at 2:45 today. The boys will each carry an American flag and come to a stop in front of the grandstand where the National anthem will be played. The game starts at o'clock. If it rains the parade on Mult nomah Field will be omitted. Seats will be on sale at A. G. Spalding & Bros., store, Broadway and Alder street, until 1 o'clock, after which they will be taken to Multnomah Field. The gates open at 2 o'clock Sam Dolan (Notre Dame) will referee R. L. Matthews (Notre Dame), umpire ArthurStubling, head linesman. The lineup: The players on both teams are num bered and it will be easy for the spec tators to tell who Is carrying the ball.

PHEASANTS SHOT IN IDAHO Season for Mongolians Is Open for First Time for Ten Days. LEWISTON. Idaho. Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) With the opening yesterday of the season for China pheasants for the first time in Idaho, many sportsmen brought in the bag limit of two birds per day. The season extends only for 10 days. Deputy Warden Hibbs said that the heavy penalty provided for exceeding the bag limit will be vigorously en forced, as it is the intention of the game department to see that the pheas ants are protected throughout the state. The season for grouse and native pheasants closed October 31, so that only ducks, geese, snipe and China pheasants can be taken under the law at this time. Centralia to Play Olympla. CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) The Centralia and Olympia High School football teams will meet here tomorrow for the first game of the season on the local grounds. In the three games played to date by Cen tralia, the local team tied Montesano and was defeated by Elma and Che halis. HOLMES BREAKS RULES COACH PIPAL OVSTS STAR TACKLE FOR INDIFFERENCE TO PLAY. Mght Before Assie-CallfornU Game Bis; Football Man Decides to Change 3Iode of Life. The announcement that Paul Holmes, star tackle on the Oregon Aggie foot ball eleven, had been requested by Coach Pipal to hand In his football uit occasioned no end of gossip in Portland football circles yesterday, es pecially among the members of the O. A. C. alumni, who have been hoping for a strong aggregation to represent the Corvallis institution. No definite reason was given in the dispatch from Corvallis for Pipal's action. but rumors have been loating thick and fast since the team returned from California, where they played the University of California last Saturday. Gossip has it that Holmes, who was one of Coach Pipals players at Occi dental College, when Pipal was in harge of the Occidental football team. was dropped from the Aggie squad on account of indifference in his football activities, disregard of training rules n general and especially for breaking taming rules the night before the Aggie-California football game, which he Aggies lost. Reports say that Holmes' action have had demoraliz- ng effect on the squad and the gen ial welfare of the Aggie team. Holmes was requested to turn in his suit. Holmes' inability to find a position n Corvallis by which he might be able to help work his way through college has been attributed as one of the rea sons responsible for Holmes' irregular- ty to practice and indifference to the game. MINORS FACE PROBLEM LEAGUE MANAGERS TO STUDY GRAVE CONDITIONS NOV. IX Meeting; at Louisville, Ivy., May Result In Revolutionary Change In , Baseball Situation. CHICAGO. Nov. 2. (Special.) Bear stories from minor league managers along about the time of the annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues in the past have been as common as those emanating from football camps on the eve of a .big game and generally have received no more credence. But this year the situation is dif ferent and the minor league moguls who will assemble at Louisville, No vember 13 to 15 will be confronted by the most serious conditions they have ever faced. The season of 1917 was the most dis astrous the minors have ever gone through. Some leagues were forced to disband and few made money. The prospect for 1918 is not at all encouraging and it is certain some of the magnates will favor discontinuing minor league ball in the lower classes until after the war. These conditions have caused talk of a third league to embrace cities in the American Association and International League to eliminate long hauls to Kan tas Citv and Minneapolis, in the for mer. and Baltimore and Richmond in the latter. The meeting will be an epoch alone and may mark a revolutionary period in the minors. ABERDEEN AND EVERETT TIE HlgU School Elevens Play 0-0 Game on Mud-Soaked Field. ABERDEEN, "WasTi., Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) The Everett and Aberdeen High School football elevens fought a score less tie here today on a muddy, rain soaked field. Aberdeen proved the best yara trainpr. but Everett's kicking kept the home team from getting very near their goal except in the first three minutes of play, during which Aberdeen shoved the ball up to Everett s one-yara line and then lost on downs. Everett once tried a drop-kick and at the last lew minutes of play got the ball up to Ab erdeen's 15-yard line, following a fum ble by Aberdeen. Throughout most of the game the ball see-sawed up and down the center of the field.

The Superior Underwear Co., Piqua, Ohio THE PERFECT ICE PALACE CLOSES Lack of Patronage Forces Rink to Cease Business. LATER OPENING PROBABLE Manager liryan Blames Sunslilne for Keeping Skaters Away First of Ice Hockey League Games Due About December 15. "On account of light patronage rink indefinitely closed." Such was the greeting which Ice Pal ace patrons read placarded on the doors of the Portland lee Palace, Twen tieth and Marshall streets, yesterday. The beautirul weather during Octo ber was the chief cause for Manager Bryan's announcement. It has been practically impossible to get the skat ers interested while the good weather continues. The rink was opened this year Octo ber 13. which is one month earlier than it has opened in past seasons. The fans failed to warm jp to the indoor sport as Ions as Old Sol continued to display hia wares upon the Portland populace. so Manager Bryan simply called in the help and gave them their checks and closed up shop until such time as the weather again occasions the rink's opening. "The magnificent weather we had during October prevented the skaters from taking any interest in the Winter sport and I decided that it was best to close up until we had some real wintry weather," said Manager Bryan last night. "We paid all the employes and anyone having any bills against the lee Palace will please call at my office and receive their check. I am going to Vancouver next week to attend another meeting of the Hockey League and make whatever arrangements are nec essary for Portland's entry into the league. The players are anxiously waiting for the season to open and I think the first hockey game in Port land will take place about the middle of December." CALIFORNIA IS HOPEFUL ELEVEN SEES CHANCE OF"WALLOP ING WASHINGTON TODAY. Coach Smith Drills Team In Open Plays, Expecting That These Tactics Will Win Game. BERKELEY. Cal., Nov. 2. (Special.) California's varsity is anxiously awaiting tomorrow's game with the University of Washington eleven. Prac tice has been cut down to mere signal nractlce with an element of play thrown in so as not to risk injuries for the big game and to keep the men in good spirits. Coach Ajidy Smith has drilled his men in a number of open plays, which he believes will have the same success that plays of such nature had against Dobie's men last year. Open plays will only be used when the line bucks of Dummy Wells and Jock Hayes, together with the open field running of Rowe, fail to net the required yard age. -Captain Foster is again at practice with the squad and ghould conditions S.
