1 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918. OREGON-AGGIE GUSH YEAR'S BIG CLASSIC Ted Cramer, of College Fame, Visits in Portland. FOOTBALL GOSSIP IS RIFE Three More Franklin High Griddcrs Are Trying Out for Berths on . Regimental Eleven. r BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON". Ted, he of the cowboy lid, is with us. Tes, Ted Cramer is the red-faced youth who perks up around the Corvallis country, where he is regarded as a wide-awake young man and capable of attending to the duties of graduate manager of student activities at Oregon Agricultural College, which we will 6ay he is getting away with in pretty fair fashion. Cramer was bubbling over with foot ball gossip yesterday. He is trying to line up the University of Oregon-Oregon Aggie game for Corvallis, Satur day, November 23. That is the date originally scheduled, but as the Aggies have signed to tangle with Washington State on Multnomah field, Turkey day, November 28, it is doubtful if they will care to tackle Oregon five days before the "Washington State game or play the Pullmanites five days after clashing with Oregon. Classic Date Indefinite. It might be agreeable to play Oregon November 16, provided the University of Washington-University 6l Oregon game scheduled for that date at Eugene is canceled. Nothing much has been heard from the Puget Sound metropolis about gridiron activities. Coach Hunt has been retained at Washington, but this does not 6ignify they will have football. As soon as the Seattle offi cials make known their intentions the question of deciding the date of the University of Oregon-Oregon Aggie game will take place. As it stands now it looks like the big Oregon classic will be held at Corvallis, November 23. The signed contract for the Wash ington State College-Oregon Aggie game to be played on Multnomah Field Thanksgiving day was received by Cra mer yesterday from Dr. Fred Boehler, athletic director at Pullman. The Wash ington State athletic authorities had practically "okayed" the Turkey day clash and yesterday's mail brought forth the document which clinches the game. Corvallis Seras Contest. Ted Cramer was in consultation yes terday with George Bertz, manager of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club footballers, and endeavored to persuade Bertz into allowing his Winged M war riors to play the Aggies on Multnomah Field October 19 one week from next Saturday. The Foundation shipyard eleven will play against the Aggies at Corvallis either the first or second Sat urday in November. Nothing more has been heard from the Mare Island Marines regarding a same with the Aggies on Multnomah Field some time in November. Cramer thinks the battle can be staged, even though the "devil dogs" are a bit high on their guarantee, and if Spanish in fluenza does not "gum" things up the Aggies may be seen in action against the Marines next month. Cramer reports that Coach Harglss has a pretty strong aggregation prep ping up these nights at Corvallis. Among those donning uniforms are a number of former Franklin High School gridiron stars. Kranklin Men Work Out. George Powell, who played tackle at Kranklin two years ago and also cap tained the team, is gradually shaking off other aspirants for the fullback Job. Powell weighs about 190 pounds and is charging through the scrub defense with the power of a 42-centimeter gun. Three other former Franklin High School gridders are trying out for regu lar berths on the Aggie regimental eleven Tucker, end; Badley, quarter; Thompson, halfback. All three are showing up well, according to Ted Cramer. "Duke" Hodler. former Columbia Uni versity star quarter and halfback, who quit building ships to take a fling at the Student Army Training Corps, was out in a uniform Wednesday night for the first time and opened the eyes of the Corvallis natives with his brilliant Work. Sam Dolan will referee the Vancou ver Barracks-Oregon Aggie game Sat urday at Corvallis. Coach Private "Tick" Malarkey wanted Dolan to of ficiate. ; but it was stated Sam would take care of the battle at Eugene be tween Oregon and the Multnomah Club. The news that Dolan would act at Cor vallis was pleasing news to the sol diers. Dr. Fenstermacher will umpire and Ruzek will be head linesman. ... Lieutenant Sam Halsted, former athletic officer at Vancouver Barracks, sustained a broken shoulder during football scrimmage Wednesday after noon on the Vancouver athletic field. Halsted will be out of the game the balance of the season. He was for merly a star track athlete at Stanford University. CHAMPION" HALTED AT FERRY New York Babies Held More Impor tant Than Pugilist Star. Being a lightweight champion boxer didn't cut much figure with an officer of the law in the case of Benny Leonard after his contest with Ted Lewis at Newark. N. J., recently. It ifiTL appears that Benny jumped into an auto immediately after the bout and hit out for the ferry. He had injured his right hand in the contest and wanted to, get to his home in Harlem as soon as possible and have it at tended to. Reaching the ferry they found the boat practically filled. One of Benny's enthusiastic friends Jumped out and told the copper on duty that the world's lightweight champion was in the car and that he was in a hurry to get to his home. There was another car. loaded with milk for New York at the ferry, and the copper told the driver to board the steamer, there being room left for but one more machine. Then turning to Leonard and his friend, he said: "The champion can wait. It's more important that those babies in New York get their milk in the morning." DUTHIE TEAM TO FLAY' SUNDAY Tentative Arrangements Made for Game With Standifer Aggregation. There is a possible chance .that the crack Duthie team of the Puget Sound Shipbuilders' League will play here Sunday. A game has been tentatively arranged between the Standifer Con struction Company's team and Duthie. Because of the unsettled weather con ditions Tom Standifer hesitated about scheduling the game for Sunday, but has taken the contest on condition that he can call it off by telegraphing Sat urday afternoon if rain is in sight. The Duthie team is made up of some of the biggest stars in the game. Tom Seaton and Walter Mails are on the pitching staff, while "Babe" Borton, "Chick" Cunningham, Bobby Coltrin, Frank Guigni, Roy Grover, Earl Sheeley and other ballplayers of note are in the lineup. The Vaughn-street park could be put into condition for baseball in a few hours by scraping the sawdust. ATHLETE FALLS BEFORE HUXS Fred H. Becker Famous In Sporting Circles in Iowa. Lieutenant Fred H.

HARRY THOMAS TEAM STAR More Than 1000 Fans Witness Struggle and Thrilling Plays Bring Spectators to Kect NO SPECTATORS CAN SEE GAME. If the officials of the Inter scholastic Football League care to have Columbia University and Hill Military Academy elevens engage in their scheduled game this afternoon, they will have to close the gates to all spectators except players, officials and newspaper men. This was the decision of Mayor Baker, who last night ordered all places of amusement closed. The city executive first ordered that no football games be played dur ing the period that Spanish influ enza holds forth, but when the question of allowing the teams to play out their regularly sched uled game behind closed gates was brought to Mayor Baker's attention, he put his approval to the proposition.

Washington managed to hold its own in the first half, but in the final two quarters Franklin took the aggressive and plowed through the Washington line for many big gains. At the end of the first half the score stood: Kranklin 7, Washington 6. Harry Thomas, plunging Quaker full back, was the star of the game. He made all three of Franklin's touch downs. Reynolds also tore through the opposing ranks time and again. Clair Badley. brother of "Joy" Badley, also played a good game at half for the Quakers, and Cook, the other half, was no slouch. Shryder, at right end for Franklin, outshone the linemen and proved a fearless player. Johnny Haak, Washington right half, was the shining light of his team. Elliot Fallis, fullback; Schmechel, quar ter; Dolp. left end. and Reinke, center, scintillated along with Haak. Thomas made Franklin's first touchdown after several minutes of play by dashing 20 yards over its goaL He kicked goal. The one touchdown was the extent of the scorig in the first quarter. The second quarter started with the ball on Washington's 25-yard line. Franklin failed to make yardage and lost the ball. Washington then started a Yankee drive. Haak took the ball on the first down and raced 15 yards be fore he was downed. Fallis next took it for five yards and then Dolp was given the ball and made 22 yards before he was tackled, placing the ball on Franklin's 10-yard line. Fallis took the ball and made three yards. Washing ton was penalized five yards for offside Play. Haak plunged through Franklin for nine yards, putting the pigskin on Franklin's three-yard line. Washington fumbled and lost the ball. Thomas punted out 30 yards. Fallis advanced the ball eight yards. Schmeckel four yards and Haak seven yards. Franklin was penalized five yards. Quarterback Schmeckel called for a center rush and carried the ball across the Franklin goal. Haak missed the goal kick. Score: Franklin 7, Washington 6. Franklin came back and started a rush after the kickoff. A pass from Reynolds to Shryder netted 25 yards but the half ended before any scoring could be done. I Franklin resumed the drive in the second half with Thomas and Reynolds bearing the brunt of the offensive, but their elation was soon dampened when Thomas was forced to punt and was blocked by either Haynes or Reinke of Washington. Dolp, as left end, rushed in. grabbed up the ball and ran 40 yards for a touchdown for Washington. Score: Washington 12. Franklin 7. About that time Franklin started to display the fighting spirit that has brought great success in athletics. Thomas and Reynolds tore through the Washington line with a vengeance and could not be stopped. Thomas carried the ball 10 yards. Reynolds took it for 12 yards. Thomas came back for seven yards. Badley went through for two yards and Thomas again took the oval and went five yards, breaking through for his second touchdown. He kicked goal. Score Franklin 14, Wash ington 12.

Opening Game May Be Against Foundation Saturday or Sunday, Week, With Winged-M Next. CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma. Oct. 10. (Special.) Aspirants for the 1918 foot ball team of Camp Lewis and the 13th Division were out for practice the first time early this week, and, judging from the pep shown. Captain T. G. "Van" Cook, athletic director for Camp Lewis, is figuring on another famous eleven. Workouts are scheduled every day. starting at 3:30 o'clock P. M., and at no time will less than three teams be on the Camp Lewis athletic field. Because of '.he. fact that several of the companies have not organized as yet In an athletic way, several of the tig stars are yet to make their appear ance. Already two well-known scin tillating athletes of the Pacific North west are donning the moleskins and trying for positions on the cantonment contingent. Lieutenant Frank R. 'Red" Skadan. around whom Coach William H. "Lone star" Dells had expected to build a world championship eleven' at the Washington State College a couple of years ago, is looking with keen eyes at one of the backfield niches. Lieu tenant Skadan was the big point getter and all-around athlete of Lieu tenant Everett May's 362d Infantry Regiment team during the campaign of the 91st Division here last Fall. At that time he was a sergeant, but ha was Bent to the Fourth Officers' Train ing School and commissioned a Second Lieutenant. Corporal Ray Selph. last year se lected as the all-Pacific Coast inter collegiate center, while attending the Oregon Agricultural College, is out for the pivot position here. Corporal Selph tips the scales around 200 pounds, and is in the best possible physical con dition. Just when the first game will be played is hard telling, but Captain Cook has ambitions of starting the 1918 season against the Foundation Ship builders of Portland a week from Sat urday or Sunday. Manager Oeorge , Bertz, of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club, of Portland, has been in communication with Captain Cook, and the result may be a match with the Winged "M" institution in Portland, October 26. While no definite arrangements re garding a schedule have been made, ef forts are being made to tangle with all the best independent and service teams in the Northwest, and. if pos sible, one of the big Middle Western cantonments will be asked to pit its football strength against Camp Lewis. If possible, the United States Marines of Mare Island will form some of the opposition for the olive drab here be fore the season is completed. Last year the Marines took two hard fought matches from the 91st Division, and Captain Cook is desirous of turning the tables during 1918. Practically every one of the players on the 91st eleven, are "over there." or have been transferred to other cantonments, and as a result an entirely new outMt will have to be organized. No coach has been named for the Camp Lewis boys as yet, but, in all probability, one will be selected for the linemen, one for the backfield candi dates and one to supervise both and be the head coach. Several officers here are being considered. WILLIE WILKES IS FIRST PORTLAND DOG DIVIDES THIRD MOXEV WITH CHARLIE I.

Meier Tells of Decisions of Conference With View to Re lieving Railroad Congestion. Oregon. Washington and Idaho are to have more rural motor truck freight and express lines, which will be estab lished just as quickly as possible, for every such line put into operation re lieves tne railroads to that extent and thus helps to win the war. This is the word brought back from Washington. D. G. by Julius L. Meier, regional chairman of the tenth district of the National Highways Transport Committee, his district comprising the tnree states named. Mr. Meier has been attending a conference of the regional chairmen of the Highways Transport Committee, at which the. importance of relieving railroad traffic congestion through motor truck lines was dis cussed from many angles. 1 lie committee fully realizes the vi tal importance of the motor truck as a transportation factor in winning the war." said Mr. Meier. "Its work has been organized to co-operate with the railways In congested terminal dis tricts to create rural motor truck lines to take care of local freight and ex press problems. State to Be Divided. "The work already beirun. not onlv here, but throughout the whole United States, of establishing these lines is to be continued. Here in Oregon the state will be divided Into districts un- aer Amos Benson, state chairman, to provide motor truck lines wherever they can be operated to advantage. "These lines are to be operated with a view to giving the farmer the same service at his door that the railroads give at their depots. It can readily be seen trow this will benefit not only the farmer, by providing cheap and speedy transportation on a regular schedule, but also the whole popula tion of the state, for the farmer's prod ucts can thus be brouKht quickly and cheaply to the consumer. At the same time the railroads will be left free to devote their facilities to the longer hauls. "The committee Is desirous that the general public shall be brought to realize the Importance of these motor truck lines in" solving transportation problems. Shippers, particularly, are urgea to give fullest co-operation. Farmer Itrlieved of Worry. "Of course, it can readily be seen that when the farmer Is assured of transportation almost from his door- yard to the consumer, ne will be ra lieved of further worry about the dls trlbulion of his product and this will result In increased food production. Such products as milk, eggs, vegetables and garden truck will be brought to the city the same day they leave the larm. Mr. Meier said that the organization in Oregon, under State Chairman Ben son, will probably be based on the di vision of the state Into five districts. eacn oi mem under a district com mittee. After the organization la com pleted down to county and community sub-committees attention will be given to establishing return loads bureaus, through which the truck operator can be assured of full loads in both di rections. Good Roada Essratlsl. Good roads, Mr. Meier further pointed out, are an essential part of the pro gramme of the committee. It Is very prooaoie mat in uregon the recom mendattons of Mr. Meier will be acted upon by the committee In urging upon me capital issues committee at Wash Ington approval of bond issues for Ira provement of roads deemed necessary, on the ground of their importance in war work. Incidentally, though Mr. Meier would not discuss the subject, it is under stood that while at Washington he wai urged to accept the post of director of finance and purchase under the Highways Transport Committee. This Is a very important position, and would require his presence In Washington continuously to direct the work. MISS I1ARTLETT TAKES SWIM New York Association Star Scores 119.3 Points in Champ Contest. Miss Josephine Bartlett, of the New York Women's Swimming Association, won the National A. A.

OREGON FULL OF SPORTSMEN Demand for Licenses Establishes New Record In Portland. More fishing and hunting licenses are being issued this year than ever be fore in the history of the state records, according to information given out yes terday.

Coach "Shy" Huntington has. not yet made up his mind definitely who will start as Oregon's regimental team against the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club here Saturday afternoon. Several places seem definitely fixed, while there is warm competition for some of the others. Layton Is sure to be started at center.
