14 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1018 GIVES "BEAR" TALK Lynn Coovert' Says Team Will Be Able to Play Here. FLU .VACCINATION GIVEN Mare Island. Athletic Officer in Portland Arranging for Mult nomah Game. BY JAMES J. TtlCHARDSOX. Captain Lynn Coovert, athletic of ficer at the Mare Island Marine Bar racks and a former well-known Tort lander, arrived in our midst yester day, gaily bedesked in the latest lin gerie of the Marine Corps, and almost Immediately after setting his "pair or drops" on terra firma proceeded to get in touch with Multnomah Athletic CImd officials regarding the signing of an agreement for the appearance of the "devil dogs" on Multnomah Field Saturday, November -3, in the initial Northwest sashay of the famous Marine eleven. We don't just get the drift of the nifty Marine C.-O.'s line of chatter when he starts talking football. The Marines have been on the sick list at Mare Island? Yes. they have been in quarantine and most of the players have not been feeling any too good en account of taking a shot in the arm. For almost four weeks the "devil dogs" have not been themselves, so says Coovert. Three Games Flayed. But they managed to escape the vigilance of the barracks doctors on three different occasions and played football. In these three 'games they ran up a total of 170 points against their opponents, who were unable to register a single point. Last Satur day "Lonestar" Dietz, who is coaching the soldiers of the sea in the art of playing the gridiron game, "shoved off" to Fort Baker and gave the heavy artillery eleven an awful lacing, piling up 67 points. Dietz took his first team off the field at the end of the first half and sent in his scrubs. Fort Baker failed to make first' down dur ing the game. Coovert expects the Marines will have fully recovered from their pres ent "illness" when they are ready to start on their northern tour, and looks for them to pep up and play "reel" foot ball register points just like a con ductor on the Hall-street line rings up fares on a Saturday night. Bill Steers, one of the ailing Ma rines, got away for a run of 40 yards last Saturday. He has not been feel ing well a-tall. He expects to have fully recovered by the time the Ma rine start north. Steers' punts aver aged 60 yards during the three games. His big right toe has to be "mani cured" befo're he will be able to kick in his real form. Said operation will be performed just before the "devil dogs" start north. Aside from the Marine players be ing under quarantine, but anxious to be able to sit up and take nourish ment in a dining car northward bound In time to play a game in Portland November 23 and to annihilate a cou pley of turkeys and the Camp Lewis eleven at Tacoma Thanksgiving day. Captain Coovert says all is well. Marines Have Open Date. The Marines have an open date next Saturday, but on Nevomber 16 they f(ay California on the Berkley campus. They are scheduled to "shove off" for Portland November 18, arriving here on the 20th. which will give them three days to limber up for the big game with Multnomah. The famous Marine band Is coming along. Also a flock of Marine fight ers. Just why the scrapper- are com ing is a mystery, 'cause that football team of the Marines can do enough fighting for the whole of Mare Island. Captain Coovert thinks the action of the University of Oregon in can celing their game with the Marines is about as funny as a cry for help. He said it is not altogether assured that Oregon would play California in San Francisco November 23. which date they were originally billed to clash with the Marines on Multnomah Field. - Coovert will remain in Portland for a few days and then visit Camp Lewis and the Bremerton Xavy-yard. He scheduled a game with Vancouver Bar racks for December 7 to be played either on Multnomah Field or Van couver Barracks. COLORADO GETS SEW JOLT loot ball Men Called to Reserve Of ficers Training Corps. BOULDER. Colo.. Nov. 4. The Uni versity of Colorado's football squad. already dealt a blow by the Spanish influenza, received another at the hands of the War Department that almost de stroyed its foundation. The War Department, of course, had no deliberate intention of crippling the university s team, but it did want can didates for the Reserve Officers' Train ing Corps and it took them. The de. partment's- choice fell on three of the university's first-string men the regu lar center and two linemen who had . been drilled so that they would be able to step into the center's position in an emergency. v ic Adams, star of last year s eleven: Tom Freeman and Bill Living ston are the players who were called. The filling of the keystone position at this time appears to be a serious problem, since not only the regular holder of that important post but also the men who were to have succeeded him have been taken. How much time there will be for the training of new men for the place depends upon the dura tion of the epidemic of Spanish in fluenza. The university is now without a schedule, having canceled all games upon the appearance of the epidemic The squad, however, is practicing regu larly. IXTERMOOTAIX HOPES TVAXE Influenza Epidemic Upsets Schedule of Football Games. SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. 4. Two weeks more of school and college va cation due to the influenza epidemic will' end even the hopes of football enthusiasts in the In termoun tain sec tion. Many of the athletic coaches of many of the high schools of this sec tion have already declared that there will be no chance for games this Fall. However, some of the college coaches still hope to have a game by Thanks giving day. Football talk appears to be decreasing and basketball conversa tion finds a readier ear. If schools open the first week of November there is a possibility of one or two games before Christmas. COACH HAROISS CONFIDENT OREGO.V VICTORY OVER FOUX DATION CAUSES XO WORRY, No Prediction Made on Outcome of Game With University, but Hopes Are High. The fact that the University of Ore gon trampled on the Foundation ship yard football eleven at Kugene last Saturday by the overwhelming score of 40 to 0 is causing no uneasiness in the mind of Coach Hargiss. of the Ore gon Aggies, which eleven will cl ish with Oregon next Saturday at Eugene in the first of two games scheduled be tween the two. big Oregon institutions. Hargiss, accompanied by Dr. A. D. Browne, director of physical education at the Corvallis school, stopped off be tween trains in Portland long enough last Sunday, on their return from Camp Lewis, where the Aggies were subdued by the soldiers, 21 to 6, to tell of the fighting bunch of youngsters that represent the. black and orange institution this season. The elongated, but Jovial, football mentor at the Aggie institution is strong for singing the praises of his squad and after being cornered on the subject of whether the Aggies were going to repeat their performance of last year, when, for the first time in ten years, they humbled the pride of the State University gridders, Hargiss spoko th'usly: "We have a strong aggregation of youngsters. They are all fighters. They are clean in their method of playing the game and are battling all the time. Most of them are inexperi enced, but anxious to learn the fine points of the game. We have no stars, but everybody is pulling together, and I am more than satisfied with their showing to date. Our game with the soldiers at Camp Lewis was a much better game than the score Indicates. We will be up and at 'em at Eugene next Saturday." "Do you think the Aggies will win?" We have a strong team at Cor vallis. and ' "What are the chances of an Aggie victory? "Every man on the team Is a fight er, and " "How many points will you beat Oregon?" "The Aggies can be relied upon to ' "What do you think of Oregon's 40-to-0 victory over the shipbuilders last Saturday?" Yes, we will be up and at em at Eugene every minute." ' "Let's see. Doc, what time does our train leave for Corvallis? Well, guess we must be going. S'long. See you Saturday at Eugene." MORTOX F. PLANT SUCCUMBS New York Financier and Yachtsman Dies of Pneumonia. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Morton F. Plant, retired financier and yachts man, died of pneumonia at his home here tonight, alter a Drief -Illness. Al though he was once head of the Plant system of railroads and steamships now a part of the Atlantic Coast line. Mr. Plant was perhaps best known as a yachting enthusiast. In 1909 he made a trip around the world on the yacht lolande, which he had built in Leith, Scotland, especially for the trip. The lolande was at that time the third largest yacht in the world and its operating cost was reput ed to be $1000 a day. Shortly after she was launched Mr. Plant gave a lunch eon in one of her huge smokestacks. Mr. Plant was born August 18, 152, in New Haven, Conn., the son of the late Henry B. Plant, who was founder of the Plant railway and steamshirp system. Mr. Plant was also a director in several banks. He is survived by his widow and two sons, Henry D. and Philip Morgan Plant. TROEH ACCEPTS BID . TOM YORK SHOOT Vancouver Expert Will Appear at Polo Grounds. EVENT TO AID WAR DRIVE Five of Country's Leading Trap- shootera Will Give Exhibition November 13. Frank Troeh. Vancouver's expert trao- shooter. has accepted the invitation of the National sports committee of New York, working in conjunction with the United War Work drive, to take part in the trapshooting carnival to be held at the Polo grounds. New York, Wednes day, November 13. when Troeh and four others of the country's greatest trap- shooters will give the natives of Gotham a rare treat when it comes to crashing claybirds. That Troeh is in fine fettle for his New York appearance was proven Sun day at Crow Agency, Montana, when he smashed 198 out of 200 targets and was nigh over all and walked off with 1000 worth of liberty bonds.

Mr. Clemson has big interests In the East which demand his attention, but he can always find time to sandwich in a trap shooting tournament, especially one such as the New York event promises to be. Other Not Chosen. It Is not been learned yet who the four other shooters are that will toe the mark with Troeh. Neither is it known how many targets the five shooters will blaze away at. The invitation to Troeh was received last Saturday by Mrs. Troeh after t rank had departed for Montana. The National sports committee put the proposition up to Frank and left no alternative for him but to accept. It is, indeed. Quite a tribute to the ability of the Vancouver marksman to be se- ected as one of the country's five greatest shooters. One thousand dollars in trophies, or liberty bonds for first, second and third places, is the tempting bait besides the great honor to the shooters. "As a war measure this is virtually a draft," read the telegram to Troeh, and w-e count upon your patriotism. No alibi counts over there. Your pres ence is indispensable." Loremon May Go. There has been quite a bit of discus sion regarding the relative abilities of Troeh and Harry Lorenzon, the Califor nia champion. Troeh managed to reg ister better scores than did Lorenzon in their tilt on the Bear 4tate traps last month and passed the Californian in the high averages for the entire country. It might be that Lorenzon will be one of the five invited to take Since Billy Heer. the Gufhrie. Okla., veteran, bested Troeh in the 4000 lib erty bond shoot, at Seattle last June, in a closely contested match, the Van couver marksman has been anxious to again match his skill with Heer and it might be that the Oklahoman will be one of the quintet who will be asked to take part in the New York trapshoot ing classic. Troeh will return to Vancouver after the shoot. Clemson will remain in tht East for about a month. KAY AVIXS CLEMSOX TROPIIY ' z :' Distinction 'is never acci dental every effect has a cause.

(Special.) After having downed the Foundation shipbuilders by the score of 40 to 0, the university squad is not In very good shape for the two hard games scheduled during the next two weeks. A spirit of over confidence is showing itself in the members of the team and its follow ers on the campus. Coach "Shy" Huntington considers this to be the worst thing that could happen to the team at the present time, and will try to take the "cockiness" out of the men during the week. Oregon is also facing the possibility of losing Eric Hauser, who, playing at left end. baa proven himself a wizard in this position. Hauser and Wilson had been taking care of the ends in grand style, and it will be no easy task to pick another man for this position before the game witn Oregon Agricultural College next Sat urday, in case Hauser is ordered to leave. Sunderleaf. who has been one of the leading end candidates, was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon, after having been hurt in the: game Satur day between the Eugene High School and the Oregon second team. "Scotty" Strachan, varsity left tackle. was taken out of the game Saturday at the end of the first half, having given his ankle a twist during the fray. It was thought at first that the trou ble was of no serious nature, but. ac cording to 'Bill" Hayward. his arch may be broken. Joe Trowbridge, right tackle ror tne lemon-yellow, appeared, limping around the campus this morning, having suf fered a "Charley horse" in the game Saturday. This tale of woe is almost enough to drive any coach to distraction, but on top of it is the announcement that either today or tomorrow the men of the S. A. T. C. will be given their first shot in the arm. Just who will be able to start against the Oregon Agricultural Col lege aggregation will probably be an nounced about 10 minutes before the contest, when those of the squad who are left will be lined up and assigned to positions. Huntington has also received another jolt. Andy Smith, coach of the Cal ifornia team, sent a telegram north last night saying that he had started advertising the game between his pro teges and Oregon on November 23. the Gun Dog trials of a week ago have been so loud In praise- of the course and treatment here, that the Alameda club, of Oakland. Cat., which la the state organization of that state, have asked to be permitted to have their field trials next year at Ibanon on the Oregon course. The local club Is anxious to have the California club come here and they have secured the consent of the State League to that end. and it Is now the purpose to have the Californians come either the week before or ihe week following the Ore gon trials next September. 3 MOONSHINERS IN JAIL SIX MONTHS IX JAIL AND FIXES OF $1000 EACH ARE IMPOSED.
