EASTERN COLLEGES 51 A V PLAY to Give Foundation Team a Real Run for Money Tomorrow. CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma. Wash., Oct. 18. (Special.) When the Foundation Shipbuilding Corporation football team, of Portland, lines up against the Camp Lewis eleven on the local athletic field Sunday afternoon the visitors will be in line for some real opposition. The soldier boys have been practicing but two weeks, but during that time noth ing but teamwork has been tried out. and as a result Captain Cook, athletic officer for Camp Lewis, is certain that his athletes will give a great account of themselves. More than three teams are out each afternoon between 3:30 o'clock and 6 o'clock, working the kinks out, and for that reason just who will start the fracas against the shipbuilders is hard to predict. At the center position for Camp Lewis two stars loom up in the eeehorizon in Corporal Ray Selph and Sergeant Shoemaker. Corporal Selph is the Oregon Aggie athlete de clared to be the all-Pacific Coast cen ter last Fall in Intercollegiate circles. and he is going great guns right now. He weighs better than 210. The game Sunday will mark the open ing game of the season in Washington. A week from today the Camp Lewis team will battle with Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club of Portland on the Wlnged-M" field, and on November 16 the Portland clubmen will journey to the cantonment for a return affair.

In the hustle and bustle around Van couver Barracks. Private Leo "Tick Malarkey. who is coaching the barracks regimental football eleven, and those who are assisting him. have overlooked a "big leaguer" in the gridiron worln Game Between Foundation and Camp Lewis May Not Be Played, Due to Quarantine. CORVALLIS, Or., Oct. 18. (Special.) Following an order by the State Board of Health, the officials of Oregon Agricultural College last night called off the game scheduled for today be tween the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club eleven, of Portland, and the Ore gon Aggies. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Portland this after noon, but wa changed to . corvallis when the Portland city officials refused to suspend the influenza ban for the game. Everything was thought to be O. K. here, but it developed yesterday that the State Board of Health would not sanction the contest. Influenza con ditions are not very serious, but the rule could not be disobeyed. The game was expected to draw sev eral thousand fans from the college and Portland and great Interest has been displayed in the contest. Manager Bertz. of the Multnomah Club football squad, received a long distance telephone call from Ted Cra mer, graduate manager of the Oregon Agricultural College football team, that night informing him that the Multno-mah-Acgie game scheduled for Corval lis this afternoon would have to be called off because of the order issued by the State Board of Health. Cramer said that Influenza conditions were im proving In Corvallis and no more se rious cases were reported, but the State Board of Health did not think it advisable to play the contest at this time and asked the college authorities to cancel the game. Bertz was disap pointed, but nothing could be done. BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Spanish influenza is beginning to make inroads Into the boxing game by scoring knockdowns among some of the well-known mitt wielders. Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, who has been doing his "bit" at Camp Lewis as instructor of boxing, recently Journeyed to Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., for instructions in bayonet fighting. One night shortly after Ritchie's ar rival in camp he retired for the evening feeling like a "shave tail." with dreams of becoming a "Crickadier-General." When Willie blinked his eyes in the morning he felt like a bar of soap after a hard day's washing it was Spanish influenza the former champion had. Ritchie was ordered to the "feathers" for a 10-day sojourn while the doctors gave him a world of attention. Ritchie is said to be quite peeved at the story sent out from St. Louis that it was he who tried to annihilate four policemen while , on a wild rampage. It was "Sergeant" Willie Ritchie who got into the jamboree. The original edition of Willie Ritchie was in Georgia. Spanish "flewsie" has put a crimp in the ring aspirations of Johnny Mc Carthy, hard-hitting San Franciscan, and Harry Pclsinger, another Native Son scrapper of note. Both boxers are confined to their beds in San Francisco. McCarthy is said to be a mighty sick lad and his manager, Sol Levinson, authority for the statement that Johnny will be confined to his bed for several weeks. One Oakland scribe says McCarthy brought the germs down from the Northwest, where he had been boxing recently. McCarthy was in Tacoma preparing to fight Billy Wright when the authorities in the City of Destiny clamped the lid on the bout and Johnny, accompanied by his manager, beat a hasty retreat to San Francisco, stop ping off in Portland between trains. Therefore we will have to tag Tacoma for having given Johnny his first knockout wrallop received in the Pa cific Northwest. With McCarthy and Pelsinger laid low with the "flue," it knocks the props from under the plans of San Francisco promoters. Both boys are big draw ing cards down south. Tommy Tracey was thinking seriously of putting Mc Carthy on in Portland as one of his headliners, but the news of Johnny's sickness will spoil Tracey's plans temporarily. 'lington, owner of Questionnaire, Kohl noor, St. Isidor and other noted race horses, will fell his stable next week and retire from the turf, he announced today. TENNIS AND GOLF WILL SUFFER Output for Remainder of Year Cut to 40 Per Cent or Similar 1017 Period. Amateur sportsmen had better con- servo their on-hand supplies of athletic equipment. The handwriting on the wall is seen in the shape of the re cent order of the War Industries Board wnicn Has put a ban on the manufac ture of many implements used in the promotion of amateur games. lennis and golf will be particular sufferers. The output of goods for these pastimes during the remainder oi mis year will be cut to 40 Der cent oi tne amount turned out during the corresponding period of 1917. It is un derstood that the large amount of golf and tennis balls is the primary reason SUGAR RULES TIGHTENED COTTAGE PROPOSALS Washington States-Homes Are Only for War Workers. CONFECTIONERS LIMITED TO HALF QF JULY A5IOCNT. Sprott Stays in California. TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 18. (Special.) The Camp Lewis football eleven may not get Byron faprott, the best back field man in the University of Cali fornia squad. Sprott was to have en trained a number of days ago for Camp Lewis, but just as he was ready to start the order was countermanded and he remained at Berkeley, where he is try ing to get into the aviation section. If he remains there he probably will play with his old mates this season. 1 . Whitman Joins Marines. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 18. (Special.) "Smiling Al" Whitman, speedy ban am, who has performed once or twice in Portland, lias joined the Marines. Whitman left today for Mare Island, where he will become one of Sergeant Eddie Marino's stable of scrapping Blue Devils. Whitman worked in bank, until he quit to join the service. Manufacturers of Syrups, Gum, Co coa, Malted Milk and Honey, Also Are Allowed 5Iuch Less. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. Restrictions on the use of sugar during November and December were announced by the Food Administration tonight. Sugar allotments for household use will be held strictly to two pounds a person eacn montn and the supply for manu facturers of soft' drinks, ice cream and confections will be reduced sharply, it was said. For the manufacture of soft drinks and ice cream the amount to be sup plied during November and December will be 25 per cent of the normal re. quirements, or a cut of one-half from the amount used for such purposes since July. Practically all manufacturers of bev erage syrups, chewing gum, chocolate, cocoa, malted milk, table syrups and molasses, soda water and artificial honey will be cut to 60 per cent of the average monthly use from July 1 to December 31, 1916, and the year 1917 combined. I HALT IN CAMPAIGN CAUSED 5Iore Liberal Attitude Expected When Government Realizes Con ditions Necessitating Erection. ALLIES CAPTURE KADISH ADVANCE 5IADE IN PROVINCE OF ARCHANGEL. Enemy Cleared Out of Central and Southern Karelia and Driven Across Finnish Border. LONDON, Oct 18. Allied forces have occupied the town of Kadish, in the province of Archangel, and have ad vanced for a distance of six miles to the south of that place along the Arch angel-Vologda Railway, according to an official statement tonight on opera tions in North Russia. The text of the statement says: "On the Murmansk front allied forces operating from Kem, on the White Sea, 300 miles south of Murmansk, have cleared Central and Southern Karelia, and the enemy has been driven back across the Finnish border. A large quantity of bombs, ammunition, mate rials and stores has been captured, in cluding 28 boats, three machine guns and many rifles. "On the Archangel front allied forces have occupied Kadish, on the Emtza River, 50 miles south of its confluence with the Dvina, and advanced six miles along the Archangel-Vologda Railway." SEASON NUT BE EXTENDED FOOTBALL .MAY BE PLAYED SAT I'KDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. Western Conference Also Thinking of Playing Notable Gridiron Clashes on Neutral Fields. The Foundation team Is scheduled to play Camp Lewis at Camp Lewis tomor row, but the news that tne cantonment has been put under a strict quarantine may also cause the calling off of that I game. It is a possibility, as tne tieiu and all of the spectators would be In the camp, that the game may be staged, but nothing is certain. Coach Ad Dew ey, of tne f oundation team, naa noi heard anything in regard to canceling the game last night. GEORGE P. HENRY PASSES TEST Two heights in a smart rollftont style.

Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, who has been boxing instructor at Camp Upton, also has been trans ferred to Camp Lee. Leonard is now taking official instruction at Atlanta, Ga.. and will go from there to Peters burg. Football Schedule Tpset. CHICAGO. Oct. 18. Football sche dules of the Middle West again will be upset tomorrow as a result of Spanish influenza. Which has caused cancellation of virtually all games. , Western Conference football author ities are debating the advisability of extending their season to include the Saturday after Thanksgiving day, and of playing some of their notable grid Iron classics on neutral fields. Those colleges of the Middle West which are members of the Western Conference hope to retain on their schedule the games which ordinarily determine the Corn Belt championship, and are pre pared to make any sacrifices to insure this result, according to word which emanates Westward. The Western Conference group is scattered over so wide a stretch of territory that October games between Its component elevens are said to be wholly out of the question. If an inter-Conference series is to be played, therefore, the games must be scheduled for November. To make such a schedule at all inclusive it will be necessary for the Western Conference colleges to utilize every playing date, Including Thanksgiving and the Saturday follow ing. Such an arrangement, sporting writers In Western Conference terri tory have figured out. would give the Big Ten teams five Saturdays and one holiday, and enable them to wage a campaign which would come pretty close to determining the relative merits of the elevens involved. The time limit has been the means of canceling most of the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural Col lege games away from home. Wash ington State College will be the only institution in the Northwest to visit Oregon for a gridiron clash. The Uni versities of. Washington, California. Idaho. Montana and Southern Califor nia have all accepted the War De partment's orders and canceled their out-of-state games. Soccer Practice Starts at College. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Oct. 18. (Special.) Soccer practice has been started at the college under the direction of Dr. A. D. Browne and H. C. McDonald, of the physical department. The plan is to organize five or six teams and to sched ule a series of contests. Much interest in the sport was shown at the first practice and the later series is expected to prove popular. Jack Cabby Grimes Dead. OTTAWA. Oct. 18.

The State Highway Commission has agreed with County Judge Ander son to draw the plans and do the pre liminary engineering for a new bridge across the Willamette River connecting Oregon City and West Linn. A resolu tion requesting the commission, to pre pare these plans has been adopted by the County Court and forwarded to Salem. The highway commission, as indi cated by Engineer Herbert Nunn, fa vors the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge. It is contended that the action of the acids from the paper mills causes the steeel to deteriorate and that cement will have a much longer life. The cost is slightly in ex cess of steel. The new bridge, according to present plans, will be 30 feet wide, and will have a roadway for pedestrians sepa rate from motor and horse-drawn ve hicle traffic. Portland's Housing Corporation, 90 per cent organized, and ready to launch its great campaign to add 2000 cot tages to the city, found it necessary yesterday to appeal to A. Merritt Tay lor, director of housing and passenger transportation for the Emergency Fleet Corporation, in an endeavor to secure from Washington, D. C, permission to proceed with its activities. A telegram signed by Mayor Baker was flashed to Mr. Merritt's headquarters in Phila delphia yesterday afternoon in the hope that an exasperating tangle might be straightened out. A reply is expected today. , Those in charge of the Portland housing campaign were confronted yes terday with a ruling from Washington that dwellings, not for the use of work ers in war industries, should not be erected at this time, and a number of applications for permits, presented by individual citizens, were rejected on , the ground that the homes were not to be occupied by war workers. Decision Unexpected. The decision was so wholly unexpect ed that the Portland committee mem bers found themselves facing a situ ation that threatened to upset all plans unless a more satisfactory interpre tation of tha, housing regulations could be secured. While many of the 2000 proposed cottages might not be tenanted, by workers in war industries, it is pointed out, they would serve to relieve con gestion in Portland and afford better accommodations generally. At the present time, it is said, the majority of homeseekers are workers in non war enterprises who have been divest ed of their homes through the sale of the property to war workers who are receiving wages considerably higher than are being paid the non-war work ers. The housing committee, how ever, feels that these persons are en titled to homes in Portland and that the carrying out of the programme as originally outlined would serve this purpose. lOO Applications Filed. Applications are on file now for con siderably more than 100 new homes. and all of these will be affected by the reply received from Washington. If the Government holds to its original ruling, the Portland housing programme will consist only of the erection of such buildings as are to be actually occu pied by war workers. It is believed here, however, that as soon as the De partment of Labor receives its data on the situation, as obtained in the survey just completed, a more liberal attitude will be shown. Plans and specifications of the head quarters building to be erected at Fourth and Stark streets are to be con sidered at a meeting of the executive committee this morning. In case the Portland programme is permitted to stand, and work carried on under its provision, work on the headquarters building will be start:d within the nent few days. Members of the committee were in clined yesterday to take the view that the decision from Washington was brought about through a misunderstanding.

Humors reaching here are to the ef fect that there have been outbreaks among the soldiers at the front. Abusive placards concerning the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg and General Lud endorff have been posted in various railroad stations in Germany. PARIS. Oct. 18. Prince Radziwill and Count Roniker. the Polish dele gates who went to the German Empcr or's headquarters last August to pre sent to him Poland s claims, were much struck by the monarch's depression and indifference, says the Matin. Emperor William consented readily to demands, the newspaper adds, which ought to have appeared very excessive to him. "Not only did he agree to the crea tion of an integral and independent Poland," the Matin continues, "but he let pass without protest allusions to Posen. and aequiesced when, the dele gates spoke to him regarding a sea out let for Poland at the expense of East Prussia. "As for the Crown Prince, he confined himself to snickering and slapping the delegates on the back, giving them the impression that he was a most unin telligent man.. "General Ludendorff was the only person who appeared to realize the sit uation, but did not dare to contradict the Emperor. He relieved himself by grunting furiously." CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma, Oct. 18. To night was the last time soldiers could leave camp except under exceptional circumstances- Beginning at reveille, 5:45 o clock tomorrow morning, the camp win be quarantined, according to an order is sued today. Soldiers will be forbidden to visit outside the camp with tne ex ception of Greene Park, the Tacoma Country Club and the territory between American and Gravelly Lanes.

VIGTORY HAILED IN PIS NEWS FROM BATTLE FROST MAKES DAY HISTORIC. Clemenceau Addresses Deputies Amid Scenes of Greatest Enthusiasm. PARIS, Oct. 18. (By the Associated Press.) "Our victory does not spell re venee," said Premier Clemenceau amid scenes of indescribable enthusiasm in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon. Our victory and the victory of our allies means the liberation of civiliza tion and liberty of human conscience. Paris has lived historic days since the beginning of the war, but never since those dark days of August, 1914, has Paris lived such a day as this. Long before the hour set for the opening of the Chamber huge crowds. overflowing across the Seine to the Place de la Concorde, had gathered.

After Paul Deschanel, president of the Chamber, told of the liberation of Lille, Douai, Ostend and Bruges, and while the Deputies and audience were cheering frantically, Clemenceau arose from the government bench and made his way to the tribune with the dust of Lille still clinging to his garments.
