General March's reply to the Ameri can League executive follows: 'I have your letter of November jo concerning resumption of baseball next year and would advise you that tne War Department, under present con ditions, sees no reason why the game should not be resumed in accordance with the usual schedule. "It is our policy to muster out of service as rapidly as possible all the men now ln the United States, who number some 1,700,000, and we are re turning from abroad for the purpose of discharge a number of men which is only limited by the shipping at our disposal. "Unless there are some changes In the situation, which now seem impos sible, there is no reason why the great National game should not be continued as usual next year. The wholesome ef fect of a clean and honest game like baseball is very marked and its dis continuance would be a great misfor tune." Big Leaguers to Return. President Johnson understands that the stars of baseball who joined the service, among them Ty Cobb, Pitcher Alexander, Benny Kauff, "Hank" Gowdy and others, will be among the first to receive their discharge so they will be in position to Join their clubs on the Spring training trips. Cobb is a cap tain in a chemical division now in France..' Definite plans for resumption of the game will begin at the annual meetings of the major leagues mis month. The National League will hold Its sessions in New Tork December 10 and the American League probably will convene ln Chicago two days later. ity The Aggies never clamored for a second, game with the university," said Coach Hargiss. "It was only as an ac commodation to Oregon that we agreed to play two games." When the schedule was being ar ranged early in the Fall the university asked for two games and, a contract to that effect was signed by both schools, according to Mr. Hargiss. At the tim of the influenza ban in Eugene it was impossible to play the first game, which was scheduled for November 7 at Eugene, but the game of November 16 was played at Corvallis and the uni versity won. Coach Hargiss said that the univer sity men asked for the second game just before the game on the Corvallis field, and after the game they still de sired to meet the Aggie squad again, and December 7 was the date agreed upon. The following day the contract was mailed to the university officials. Just after the O. A, C.-Multnomah Club game the university sent a letter to the college, stating that it did not de sire to play, and gave as reasons that the' field was in bad shape at Eugene and that It was impossible to get it in readiness for such a game; that the season already was so long that no crowd would be drawn and that the boys were anxious to play Multnomah Club.

Washington was the most feared team in the Interscholastlc League, ana was always a winner or runner-up for the title. This year Coach Earl has not had a great deal of material to work with. Only a few of his players have much previous playing experience. They have been battling right along, though, and may surprise a number of the foot ball fans this afternoon. Lincoln has a fast, well oiled eleven that works in perfect unison. Coach Dewey has instilled a number of classy plays into the team and when it trimmed Commerce, 39 to 0, it placed itself in the list of front-rank perform- rs. Lincoln has one more game that gainst Hill next Tuesday which will be the final interscnoiascic game in League B.

Manager Bertz was anxious for Mult nomah to meet the Oregon team, ac cording to his meeting with Hunting ton in Portland Friday night. Huntington did not feel that he could hold his men in training until Decem ber 14. the date proposed by Multno mah. The Oregon team was anxious to meet the club eleven. While Ore gon contends that its claim to the Northwest title was stronger than that of Multnomah, it wanted to settle the matter on the gridiron. President P. L.
