When the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College gridiron teams line up for battle this afternoon at Corvallls in their 21st annual clash for the state football championship each eleven will be recruited to its full war strength, as none of the players previously reported as suffering from injuries will be missing in action when Referee Sam Iwlin starts them on their mad rampage fo 'supremacy. According to reports received from both camps last night each team is feel ing like a bunch of two-year-olds, and today's struggle gives every promise of being a real battle. Followers of grid iron activities In these parts, especially those who keep close tab on the inter collegiate situation, are unanimous in their belief that today's fracas is going to be pretty much of an even tilt. The Aggies tip the beams in poundage ' at a slight advantage over-Oregon. Of course, it is impossible to take weight figures given out by rival coaches as being authentic, because the mentors are all inclined to hold fast to "bear' talk stuff, and are not the least inclined to give out Information yiat will in any way tena to give tne opposition an inn ling of what they are going up against Oregon Team Light. The Aggie's line is said to average 182 pounds, while Oregon's seven men on the line average 16 pounds. The Cor vallis backfleld registers a heavier ton' nage than do the Kugene warriors, the ; Aggie's averaging 173 pounds to the Irian, while Oregon backfield averages l7. Another factor entering into today's college gridiron classic is tnat eacn eleven Is being groomed by a coach making his first appearance as tutor in an intercollegiate contest in these parts. H. W. Harglss, Amies' coach, succeeded Joe Pipal at Corvallis a few months ago. and has won his way deep into the hearts of the Aggie eleven and its followers by his wide knowledge of the game and his ability to Impart it to his players. Harglss has the pep and injects it into every play the Ag gies have. The Corvallis team has shown mora ginger this season than for a good many years. Haatingloa Makes Good. "Shy" Huntington, at Oregon, Is ex periencing his first year as a coach, and to date has more than made good. As a player at Eugene, Huntington made football history at' the Oregon institution tingle wfth envy. He was one of the greatest quarterbacks and field generals the lemon-yellow insti tution ever produced. He was Hugo Beidek'a right-bower and handled the team on the field without ever making a miscue which counted against his eleven. Since assuming the helm at Oregon, Huntington has put the fighting spirit into his players. They are all young sters, but quickly molded themselves into a formidable aggregation. Their lop-sided scores had a tendency to make the boys believe themselves unbeatable and it has been this defect a bad one that Huntington has been trying to overcome the last two weeks. The Ore gon team is going into today's battle with a determination to put the Aggies to rout. Kach player on the Oregon team wants to invade San Francisco next Saturday for their clash with the University of California with the Ag gies' scalp dangling from their belts. Oregon is Favorite. Oregon is favorite in, the betting. A number of wasrers were recorded yes terday, with Oregon a 10 to 7 choice. Aggie supporters are rallying to their team and by the time today's game starts odds will no doubt go to even money. The probable lineup and weights of the rival teams follow: Oregon Howard U5S1 .

Coach Hunt ington, after having the men out for a strenuous practice yesterday in the mud, wound up the day with a lecture and blackboard talk last night. Hunt ington is doing everything In his power to get the team in shape to hold the heavy Corvallis line. Yell King Nick Carter, of the univer sity, is getting the Oregon students filled with "pep" and "jazx" and has set 1000 as the number of Oregon stu dents who will go Into the land of Coach Harglss. Special trains are to be run on both the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Electric leaving Eugene about noon and returning right after the game. All of the Oregon students who can In any manner gather tne J1.35 necessary for each way will be among those present Saturday after noon. STEXTS HOLD "JAZZ" FEST University Band Leads Serpentine on Kincald Field. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON," Eugene, Nov. 15. Following a pajama parade through the city of Eugene, the Uni versity students, led by YeU King Nick Carter, held a "Jaxxfest'4 on Kincald Field tonight for the Oregon-Aggie game tomorrow. The serpentine of the students was led by the University band and wound through the moving picture houses, which opened tonight for the first time in six weeks. L. L. Goodrich, cashier of the First National Bank; Dean D. Walter Norton, Dean John Straub, "Bill'i Hayward, "Shy" Huntington and Harold White, president of the Student Body, gave spirited talks, and enthusiasm is run ning high fer the contest tomorrow. Several long strings of fireworks were set off during the evening and the stu dents combined a celebration of being released from quarantine with the rally for the "Aggie" game. Neither "Bill" Hayward nor "Shy" Huntington would make any specula tions as to the outcome of tomorrow's struggle. The team was ordered to bed early and will be- In good shape for the contest. The team as well as the coach are praying for a dry day to morrow, as they consider this their only chance against Coach Harglss' crew.

Whether the Third Squadron football eleven will secure a clinch hold on the championship of the Inter-Squadron League, or if five elev ens win be tied lor first place, will depend upon the outcome of the con test to be waged tomorrow afternoon on the Post field between the Third Squadron and 12th Squadron (Military Police teams). The game will begin promptly at 1:30 o'clock, and will be followed by another game between the teams of the First and Eighth Squad rons. A victory for the M. P.s will give the following elevens virtually an equal chance for the coveted championship: th Squadron. Sixth Squadron, Fifth Squadron, First Squadron and the Third Squadron. Because of this fact the M. P.s will have abundant support from the grandstands. Should the Third Squadron leave the field victorious, however, it will be necessary to lose the next two scheduled games in order to lose the championship. Because of the merit of the team, such a turn of events s deemed so Improbable that members of every squadron are willing to admit that victory for the Third also carries with it the championship of the league for the same eleven. For a time it was planned to hold this important contest in Portland, but in- bility to SPauire grounds on which to play the gar" Sunday, forced the ath letic council to orAer the game played as scheduled on the. Post field. No ad mission is charged to these games, and a large crowd from Portland is ex pected to attend. Both the Third Squadron and the 12th Squadron teams have. been scored against by one team only.' The Police team was defeated by the Sixth Squad ron by score of 10 to 7. The Third's team, although not defeated this sea son, was scpred against by- the Trans portation team of the 29th Squadron when the latter team secured 13 points while the Third Squadron rolled up a total of 27 points. No football contest scheduled on the Post field this season has aroused the interest that is ceptered on this contest- Its tendency to affect the final standing of five different teams will bring thousands of khaki-clad men to the athletic field this afternoon. Mem bers of both teams have been- put through hard practise each night this week in preparation for this game. Miners Defeat Collegians. DENVER. Nov. 15. Veteran material and the advantages of a much longer training season weighed heavily in favor of the Colorado School of Mine? In its 8-to-6 victory over Colorado College here today. The victor gives the Miners two conference victories and makes them strong contenders for the Rocky Mountain championship. Big league football - will be ushered into Portland for the first time this season on Multnomah Field this ateri noon when the crack 13th Division team of Camp Lewis will clash with the Multnomah Amateur Athletic , Club eleven; Both teams represent the class of Northwestern fotoball talent and are on edge for this afternoon's battle for supremacy. The Camp Lewis team is by no means a Btranger to the Winged M gridironers, but there will be several strangers on the Multnomah Club eleven to welcome the Army ag gregation. The Camp Lewis team has a formida ble string of victories to its credit apd is without much doubt the best team in this neck of the woods, barring Multnomah Club. The soldiers' record so far this sea son is: Camp Lewis 21, Foundation 0. Camp Lewis 7, Multnomah Club 0. Camp Lewis 21, Oregon Aggies 6. Camp Lewis 13, Camp Perry 0. Aggies Defeat Soldiers, So far this season the 13th Division team has been scored but once, that time, by the Oregon Aggies in the con test at Camp Lewis several weeks ago. In which It trimmed the Aggies by the score of 21 to 6. This year's team at Camp Lewis, made up of men of the 13th Division, has been compared favor ably with the 91st Division team, which represented Camp Lewis last year and is now overseas. - The players on the team this season are all stars of the first magnitude and are as formidable an organization as has battled on Northwestern gridirons in past sea sons. It met the closest shave in the contest against Multnomah Club. A horseshoe pass in the last few minutes of the Eecond quarter netted Camp Lewis 41 yards and a touchdown, and even at that, tne .Munnoman team claimed that the touchdown was illegal, but was overruled by- the officials. Open Playing Expected. A semi-dry field, which a the best that can be expected today means some straight football and the dryer and firmer the field the more open plays. The soldiers are strong on forward passes and rely a good deal on open play. A slushy field should give a slight advantage to Multnomah. . Manager Bertz and Coaches Phil- brook and Dewey of the winged "M" eleven will not announce the club men 8 lineup until today, thereby adding a touch of mystery to the con test. The game will start at 2:30 o'clock. m The 13th Division team will leave for Camp Lewis a short time after the game is over as it is billed to play Vancouver Barracks at Camp Lewis to morrow afternoon. With the American Army at Sedan, the British approaching "Waterloo, and the whole southern frontier of Germany opened to allied armies through the surrender of Austria, Germany was doomed when her representatives met Marshal Foch and Admiral Wemyss to agree on an armistice. As The Evening Post (New York) remarks, "Foch, the master, has played with skilled touch on the keys of a mighty organ from the North Sea to the Meuse; and in the final harmony the American Army has run true."

With the signing of. peace negotiations baseball in the minor leagues will be -resumed on a larger scale than ever, in the opinion of John H. Farrell, of Auburn. N. Y secretary of the National Asso ciation of Professional Baseball Leagues, who today closed up the af fairs of the annual meeting. Settle ment of a dozen disputes was made by the national board of arbitration. Soldiers returning from the battle fields of France and the training camps will do much to bring baseball back to its former popularity. Secretary Far rell believes. Soldiers and sailors in the Army camps and Naval bases have taught the game to thousands of men who previous to their National service had never swung a bat or pulled on a glove. Definite plans ror me resumption of the sport will be taken at the meeting after the first of the year. President Sexton said. LAWREXCE KEEX'E DROWXED Former Student at O. A. C.

Many Striking Illustrations, Including Maps and Cartoons Splendid Two-Page Colored Map in This Week's Number This fine double-page Map is printed in two colors and presents the "Scene of the Western Battle-Line." It shows all territory from London to the Riier Rhine, in cluding; all of Belgium, Luxemburg, Western Germany, and Northern France. The famous Hindenburg line as.it existed before March 21, 1918, is indicated, also the line of furthest German advance this year in the big drives of March, April, May, and June, and the pres ent line of battle where the Allied armies are driving the Germans back, including the terrain contiguous to Sedan, where the American doughboys have just won one of the most brilliant victories of the war. The Map is prepared with a special view to the conclusion of peace with Germany and shows all of Alsace-Lorraine, which Germany undoubtedly must surrender to France. The great fortress cities of the Rhine, which will no doubt be occupied by Allied garrisons as guarantees that Germany will pay far the damage she has done in the war, are also clearly shown. Practically all of the towns that are being liberated by the victorious Allies' advance and which are mentioned from day to day in the press dispatches are clearly visualized. This Map is so valuable as to be well worthy of preservation for present and future consultation.
