Washington vs. Oregon, old gridiron

the Northwest Intercollegiate cham

final football game of the season on
University field.
Somewhat battered aa a result of
their hard game with the Oregon Ag

resenting the purple and gold this sea

the Oregon Agricultural College tilt.
The team which will represent the
Seattle university today will be weak
ened by the loss of several men who
played a prominent part In last Satur-
of Bezdek's proteges, is the coach of
the Eugone squad, and as Tony Savage,
a Dobie man, is teaching the Washing

MILLER OCT OF CONDITION
CAMP LEWIS. Wash.. Nov. 29. (Spe
cial.) Only one game was played this
week In the regimental championship
series because so many of the athletes
were away for the Thanksgiving holi
days. The United States First Infan
try regiment continued to win and
remain at the top of the league by
defeating the 76th Infantry 7 to 0 on
the Division Athletic Field. The 37th-
39th Field Artillery contest was post
poned until next month.
Charles Boughan of the First In
fantry was unable to play, and the
big star's services were sorely missed.
The sergeant scored all of his team's
27 points against the 44th regiment
last week, and without him In the line
up the First was weakened' consid
erably. The lone touchdown against
the 76th Wednesday waa made by
Fagan, who ran 40 yards through a
broken field the last few minutes of
play.
Both regiments were marched to the
fray behind their respective bands, and
Major-General Joseph Leltch and staff
were the guests of honor. Leo J. Hart
nett, Kn'ghts of Columbus athletic
director, and coach of the 165th Depot
Brigade eleven, refereed the match.
George Shanklin. Tacoma boxing
promoter for the Eagles, is trying to
arrange another smoker in which sev
eral soldiers will be competitors. Word
to start demobilization or the 13th
Division has caused a switch in plans.
but, at that, the tournament will be
staged next Thursday. '
Willie Ritchie, boxing Instructor for
Camp Lewis, wishes to stage one more
boxing tournament before the 3th
Division is demobilized.
MILITARY POLICE WILL PLAY
Report of Refusal to Meet Head
quarters Eleven Denied.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash,
Nov. 29. (Special.) Recent publicity
given to the statement by the manager
of the 105th and 106th Spruce Head
quarters football eleven to the effect
that the Military Police team of Van
couver Barracks, has refused to play
the Headquarters a return game has
aroused the Indignation of the Coppers.
The Military Police declare that an
offer from them for a return game with
Headquarters was met with a flat re
fusal by the Portland team.
Captain Sluman. of the Military Po
lice, said today that his team is ready
to meet the Headquarters eleven at any
time although he states that he does
not feel that the Headquarters eleven ii
entitled to this courtesy.
The Military Police defeated Head
quarters 7 to 0. The Third Squadron
then defeated Headquarters by the came
score and later met defeat before the
Coppers by a score of 20 to 0. Accord
ing to this dope. Captain Sluman main
tains that Headquarters is not entitled
to a game, but that an offer made was
refused by Headquarters.
The Coppers are also peeved because
of the Injury suffered by Captain Slu
man in the Headquarters game, which
will keep him out of the game during
the remainder of the season. The Mili
tary Police allege that Headquarters
players deliberately jumped on Sluman.
Because of this feeling between the
teams, a real contest may be expected if
he two elevens should meet on the
gridiron.
Columbia University yesterday de
feated James John High School, 6 to 0,
in an exciting football game on Mult
nomah Field. Columbia scored the win
ning touchdown in the first quarter
after four minutes of play when Bill
Collins, left half, tore 18 yards around
right end and across the James John
goal. Columbia missed the try at goal.
The real battle of the game occurred
In the final minutes of play when
James John recovered a punt, putting
the ball on Columbia's 41-yard line.
On the next down Herman Schroeder.
James John fullback, received the ball
from center and heaved It about 3a
yards to Hiatt, who was downed on Co-
umbia's four-yard line. There Colum
bia held James John to four downs and
won the ball. Jessup, Girt and Schroe
der tried to make yardage, but could
not move it any more than three yards
n the four downs. With the ball in Co-
umbia's possession, Bert Jacobberger,
fullback and brother of the two "Jakes"
at Oregon, booted the ball down the
field just as the whistle blew.
Yanlaare f i I n RodiL
V The game was an even affair as far
as yardage and playing were concerned.
Columbia played a greatly improved
game over its contest with Jefferson
and showed the results of Hughie Mc
Kenna's coaching during the past week.
Blocked punts were frequent and
caused plenty of misery to both teams.
Tony Dwyer, one of Columbia's second-string
men who went in at left
end In the second quarter, played a sen
sational game. Dwyer only weighs
about 120 pounds and is young, but
tackled well and brought more fame to
himself when he blocked a James John
punt In the fourth quarter.
Bert Jacobberger, captain and full
back of the Columbia eleven, put up
his usual stellar game. Others who
stood out for Columbia yesterday were
"Shrimp" Phillips, quarterback; John
son, center; Bill Collins, left half; Lake,
right tackle, and Sweeney, end.
Herman Schroeder. fullback; Dick
Girt, captain and left half; Wulf, cen
ter; Hiatt, right end, and Jessup, right
tackle and halfback, played in the lime
light for James John.
James John had several chances to
score, but pulled the wrong plays, los
ing out.
"Oaside" Kick Causes Dispute.
An "onside" kick over the goal line
caused a dispute. Schroeder kicked the
pigsKin over the Columbia goal and a
James John player fell on it. James
John claimed a touchdown, but Referee
Dudley refused to allow It. He gave
Lincoln a touchdown on the same kind
of a play earlier In the season, but since
that time has had communication with
Walter Camp, and now he says that
such a kick is not a score. A good-
sized crowd viewed the game.
The summary:

Himpel tore the muscles in his knee
In the Multnomah-Oregon Aggie game
Thanksgiving day, and had to be car
ried off the field and to the clubhouse.
After a rest, his leg did not bother
him a great deal, but he went directly
to the doctor after the game. The doc
tor said there would be no more foot
ball for Mr. Himpel this year. Big
Bill has thrown out his knee in every
game this year, and the weakened
muscles could not stand the strain
when twisted in Thursday's game.

Teams In Good Condition and Hard
'Battle Expected on Mult
nomah Field.
The local football fans will turn to
wards Multnomah Field again this
afternoon when the 105th and 106th
Squadron team of Portland will play
the-Sixth Squadron team of Vancouver
Barracks at 2:30 o'clock. Today's frame
probably will be the last of the sea
son for the fast 105th and 106th Squad
ron team and they want to make it
the best aa far as they are concerned.
All of the players are In good shape.
The Sixth Squadron team is a formida
ble aggregation and one of the leading
teams of the post.
Lieutenant Bart Macomber has had
great success with the 105th and 106th
Squadron team this season, and the
team is the beet coached outfit barring
the barrack's team among the soldier
aggregation that has played around
this neck of the woods this year.
There is a possibility that the 105th
and 106th Squadron team may tangle
with the Vancouver Barracks -eleven
some time next week. It Is also under
stood that the Military Police are
anxious to get a game with the 105th
and 106th Squadron and that might be
arranged If the team stays together
several more weeks..
First Coos Bay Boy Returns.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Nov. 29. (Spe
cial.) The first Coos Bay soldier to be
mustered out and reach home was E.
L. Brisbin, of Empire, who was dis
charged at Camp Lewis and arrived at
Empire last night. Private Brisbin's
return home was coincident with the
arrival of a eon, who was. born last
evening.
Tommy Tracey, official matchmake
for the Portland Boxing Commission
has made no further progress In addin
bouts to the three already signed fo
the "smokeless" smoker to be held at
the Heilig Theater Thursday night, De
cember 12.
Morris Lux is anxious for a battle an
Tracey is trying to accommodate him
by signing Frankie Russell, but the
battler, who claims to be the original
New Orleans Frankie Russell, cannot
be found. If Russell fails to make his
whereabouts known, within the next
few days he will miss an opportunity
of satisfying his grudge against Lux.
Walter B. Honeyman, secretary ol tne
commission, who is working with
Tracey in an effort to secure a for
midable opponent for Lux, said yester
day that he had something up his
sleeve that he would not be at liberty
to make public until next Monday. It
is said Honeyman i3 after a boxer well
known in Portland, and if he is se
cured the bout with Lux as a partici
pant will.be right in line as a main
event and will help top off the card as
a triple main event. Farmer and Darcy
and Wing and Gorman are the two main
bouts already signed.
Harry Bramer, the fighting Marine,
who appeared in Portland against Joe
Gorman and made a big hit with local
fight fans, ran up against a snag at
Oakland the other night, when Eddie
Mahoney put the "cuckoo" sign on Bra
mer in the first round.
Bramer had a young lady friend of
hia sitting at the ringside with him and
bad been telling her what a whirlwind
he was-with the gloves. Stepping into
the ring, he bowed to her as the bell
sent 'them to the center of the ring.
He stepped around nimbly, peppering
Mahoney with lefts and rights to head
and body, when Mahoney suddenly un
corked a short right on Bramer'a chin,
and down went the latter, his head
hitting the floor of the ring first. He
regained his feet at the count of eight,
but was in such groggy condition that
Referee Bob Shand properly stopped
the bout, according to reports.
.
The date for the first smoker in
January has been set for Wednesday
night, January 8, at the Heilig Theater.
The commission favored a boxing show
for Christmas, but were unable to se
cure the Heilig at that particular time.
Many reservations have been made
at Sol Stiller's cigar store, Broadway
at Stark, for the smoker to be held at
the Heilig Thursday night. December
12. "Looks like old times to have the
boys dropping in for their seats," said
Stiller yesterday, "and I look for a big
crowd."

Boston Re Sox for a trade that would
involve three members of the New York
club and two Boston players. The
original proposition was turned down
and a counter proposition was sug
gested and this also failed to go
through. It is evident, however, that
the days of trading between majo
league ball clubs are at hand and som
transactions mar be expected.
Huggins began negotiations with th
Boston club in the form of an offer to
trade Catcher Al Walters, Pitcher Slim
Love and 'Second Baseman Derrill Pratt
for Pitcher Ernie Shore and Secon
Baseman Jack Barry. The proposition
was made to President Harry H. Frazee
and Manager Ed Barrow, but was
turned down.
Frazee countered with a propositio
to sell the two players to the New York
club for $40,000. This offer made no
great hit with Huggins, but before h
had the opportunity to turn it down
flatly Manager Barrow, of the Red Sox
declared that he would not dispose of
Shore for money. If Shore was to be
let out by the Boston club. Barrow
maintained, some other players mus
come to the New York club.
The attempt to dispose of Pratt and
add Barry to the lineup is a peculia
one, viewed from the New York angle,
Barry is about through as a major
leaguer, never ranked with Pratt as a
hitter and never shone much above
Pratt in fielding. Walters is rated as
the best young catcher in the game.

Report of Grand Jury Will Be Made
This Morning to Judge
Tucker.
John Cyril Liard, 23-year-old ex-convict,
was indicted yesterday by the
Multnomah County grand jury, charged
with the murder of Deputy Sheriff
Twombley. The grand jurors also re
turned an indictment charging him with
highway robbery as the result of his
alleged holdup of the tolltaker on the
Interstate bridge a few minutes before
he is said to have shot Twombley down.
The case was presented to the grand
jury by District Attorney Evans per
sonally. The report of the grand Jury
will not be made until this morning to
Judge Tucker.
Miss Augusta Carlson, who was with
Liard on the night the crimes are al
leged to have happened, went before
the grand jury yesterday morning and
completed her story. She probably will
be granted immunity for her associa
tion with Liard as a reward for testi
fying against him.
John H. Stevenson, John Manning and
Walter Wolf, attorneys, visited Liard
in the City Jail yesterday. No attorneys
for the defense have been definitely
engaged as yet, although it is known
that Liard asked to be allowed to con
sult with the three mentioned above.
