RELAPSE AIDS PULLMAN
tans Focus Eyes on Pullman-University
Clash In Expecta
tion of New Upset.
BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
While the annual game between
the University of Oregon and Oregon
Utate Agricultural college at Eugene
next Saturday is attracting heaps of
attention, Portlanders and students of
Oregon especially will anxiously
await the result of the Washington
Washington State clash at Pullman.
The University of Washington eleven,
which Is usually unpopular here
abouts, seems to have gained quite a
number of supporters all of a sudden.
The reason for the switch of opin
ion is that the purple and gold can
throw a great big monkey wrench
into the champioshlp machinery of
the Cougars should it, by any man
ner of means. slip over a victory.
There is not as much difference be
tween the clubs as one would im
agine. True, the lemon-yellow fighters
licked Washington 24 to 13 and suc
cumbed to Washington State 7 to 0.
But this cannot be taken as a crite
rion. The Oregon steam-roller which
jaunted to Seattle a week ago was
quite unlike the Oregon team which
went on Multnomah field against
Pullman Saturday. They differed
as widely as a 'zephyr and a cyclone.
A football team, once every season,
is keyed up to its highest pitch. An
eleven usually puts its all into one
big game, after which there always
follows a sort of a relapse a letting
down. "Shy" Huntington's fighters
played heart and soul against Wash
ington. The men won, but had ex
pended "that something" which they
could not regain in the week which
lay between the Washington and
AVashington State contests. The old
fight was there against the Indian's
men here Saturday, but the driving
power was not and therein lies the
reason for the Willamette valley kids'
defeat after outplaying the Pullman
ites in nearly every department of the
same.
Although the Oregon Aggies have
have failed to hit a big league stride
thus far this season the material is
down Corvallis way and the husky
proteges of Bill Hargiss are certain
to give the lemon-yellow a stiff ecrap.
The Corvallis folk are leaving no
stone unturned to fetch home a vic
tory. Mike Butler, for years physical di
rector of the Chicago Athletic club
and who for the last ten years has
conducted a physical culture school
in Portland, left yesterday to take
over the conditioning of the Aggies.
Mike will remain with the lads for
two weeks, during which time their
two hardest games are scheduled
Oregon ana Washington State. In
addition to the services of Butler,
Coach Hargiss will have Everett May,
ex-assistant coach under Dr. E. J.'
Stewart and ex-graduate manager!
to help him out.
As a result of Brick Leslie, center,
breaking his hand against Washing
ton state on Saturday, Oregon will be
without the services of the big cen
ter in the Aggie game. "Prink" Calli
eon, however, if he performs as he did
the last quarter on Multnomah field,
will fill the bill to a
Shy" Huntington and Bart Spellraan
are not worrying.
The Aggies will go Into the Oregon
Same with somewhat of a crippled
lineup, despite their two weeks' rest.
Those who will handicap the team the
most if they are not their 100 per
cent selves are Duke Hodler, a won
derful halfback, and Carl Lodell. the
best punter on the Corvallis muster
role. Hodler was taken sick just be
fore the California game and is etill
under a physician's care. Lodell has
a bad ankle, but will probably do the
punting anyway. He outkicked Bou
cher of California, bad ankle and all.
It was learned yesterday that Cur
ley Skadan, who started at quarter
back for Washington state on Satur
day, broke his ankle when he was
forced off the field the first three
minutes of play. This Injury, although
T-ery unpleasant, will not handicap the
Cougars, for Captain Dick Hanley
will be in chape to play quarterback
against Washington.
'
Andy Smith's University of Califor
nia crew had a hard time beating the
University of Southern California 14
to 13 at Los Angeles Saturday. A loss
to Andy would have taken a lot of
color off the California-Stanford game
billed for Palo Alto November 22.
Idaho at Moscow Saturday licked
the University of Montana 7 to 0.
It was Idaho's first win of the year.
The report came from Moscow on
Thursday that Coach Bleamaster's
players had refused to play further
for him, and that Assistant Coach
Hutchinson had taken over the team.
If this report was true Hutchinson
must have put some paprika into the
Gem staters, who up until Saturday
nad been acting like a pack of Jess
Willards, although the three beatings
taken by them were from stronger
teams man Montana.
Portland's next big league football
attraction will see Washington State
college pitted against the Oregon Ag-
e-ibb on Multnomah field November 22.
Gus Welch, the Pullman coach, has
two tough opponents to down before
he establishes a clear claim to the
coast championship for his institution.
His first test somes Saturday, when
he meets Washington at Pullman.
m
Teams conditioned by two of the
best trainers in the game met on
Multnomah field Saturday afternoon
when the University of Oregon and
Washington State college locked
horns. Bill Hayward of Oregon gets
plenty of publicity hereabouts and
therefore is better known than J,
Fred Bohler of the Cougars. It is
seldom that a conditioner of athletic
teams receives credit for any of the
winnings of his charges, but heaps
ot glory should go to Bohler and Hay
ward for the past performances of
Pullman and Eugene teams.
In Bill Hayward and "Harmony
Doc Bohler, Oregon and Washington
state can well boast of as clean and
sportsmanlike trainers as can be
found in the land. Hayward has been
In Eugene since the original Mr. Lane
first discovered the county which now
bears his name, while Bohler has
spent 12 years at Pullman.
Hayward and Bohler have seen
legion of coaches come and go, bu
remain to be liked much better each
year. The truth is, that although
Bill and Doc have had tempting of
fers from many larger institutions, so according; to the Tale student news

EX-CHAMP VISITS SCOTLAND
Mrs. J. H. Hurd of Pittsburg After
British Golf Title.
Mrs. J. H. Hurd of Pittsburg, who,
as Miss Dorothy Campbell, won the
British, American and Canadian
championships a decade ago., is on a
visit to Scotland, for the first time
in some years. She has entered for
the British women's championship, to
be held at Burnham, Somerset. Com
menting on her attempt to capture
the British title, the Canadian Golfer
says:
"It will be Interesting to note how
she will measure up with the younger
school which has sprung up since her
10 years or so of residence in the
United States and Canada. Mrs. Hurd
is still a very fine player, but it is
doubtful whether she will repeat her
many successes of years gone by.
"It is rather a remarkable fact, but
true, nevertheless, that the fair sex
do not commence to keep up their
game as years creep on like men
players. A woman over 35 years of
age has never won a high class cham
pionship, while many men have."
Mrs. Hurd was one of the few
prominent women golfers not in the
recent American national champion
ship at Shawnee, owing to her ab
sence from the country. She won the
United States title in 1909 and 1910,
the British title in 1909 and 1911, and
the Canadian title in 1909, 1911 and
912.

for the first time this season when

Writer Gives His Opinion.
A Washington baseball writer, J. V.
Fitzgerald, thinks the defeat of the
Gleason-led White Sox in the world's
series a big boost for Clarence Row
land. In any event, he says, it shows
Gleason was not the man responsible
for the success of Rowland and the
Sox in 1917. However, while Gleason
was finishing first in the American
league whatever happened to him in
the world's series Rowland was fin
ishing last in the American associa
tion, and there you are.
Rickey Still After Players.
Though the St. Louis Cardinals al
ready have more players reserved
than the law allows, reports are that
Branch Rickey is still trying to sign

EAST LANSING, Mich., Nov. 9.
Long gains by Springer and several
brilliantly executed forward passes
paved the way to a 13-to-0 victory
for the Michigan Aggies over South
Dakota Saturday. The two touch
downs were scored in the first two
periods.
BEZDEK'S TEAM FAVORED
Penn State Suggested as Worthy
Opponent in Annual Clah Be
tween East and West.
There is a plan on deck to bring
a team pf Harvard stars to the Pa
cific coast to play at Pasadena on
New Tear's day, opposed to the best
western team, which will probably be
Washington State college. The chief
sponsor for the idea is Major Paul
Withington, who coached and cap
tained the champion American expe
ditionary force S9th division team
in France last spring.
Major Withington is already In
touch with Pasadena authorities. He
proposes forming a team of ex-Har
vard stars, all amateurs those who
want to play for the love of the
sport. If the plan is carried out,
the team will bo organized to play
a series of games the rest of this
month and December. Then, if the
suggestion is acted upon favorably
bv the Pasadena authorities. the
eleven would come to California for
the New Year's day tussle.
Withington. according to Coach
Gus Welch of Washington State col
lege, was so impressed with the en-
husiasm the men exhibited in France
hat he believes it feasible to organ
ize a team in this country. Coach
Welch, right after Saturday's game
here, left for Arlington, Or., on a
duck hunting trip. He plans on be
ing back on the Pullman campus to
day ready for the hard grind which
will send the Cougars against Wash
ington Saturday in the best possible
condition.
Faculty Bales Prevent.
Major Withington's plan to bring
an all-star team of former Harvard
players to Pasadena Is not sound.
There are various angles to it that
make it altogether impracticable.
There is no question but that it would
be a great treat to see a lineup ot
Crimson jerseys in action in Cali
fornia and faculty rules prohibit a
regular Harvard team from making
the trip, although it is said that the
famous old institution is about to
break away from the moss-back idea
of not permitting its team to play
out of its own back yard.
The personnel of a team of ex-
Harvard stars would furnish severa
ail-American faces. According to i
letter received here yesterday from
Pasadena man on the inside, three
ail-American stars of the first water
Eddie Mahan. "Tacks" Hardwick
and Bill Trumbull are mentioned
already having been obtained by
Major Withington. although the for
mer is an out-and-out proressiotia i
having coached the University o
California backfield and teams o
other schools. This trio had no com
petition for selection on Walter
Camps all-American in the days
when they were luminaries on east
ern football fields.
But forming a team in France from
ex-stars in France to play footbal
and one in this country are two dif
ferent subjects altogether. Across
the pond the men were in perfect con
dition. They were hardened by army-
exposure and toughened by prolonged
marching. Men who turned out for
football were excused from other
duties, and they devoted as r.-.urh
time to practice as any collegiate j
aspirant.
Many Points Xslwd.
These men now have returned to
civilian life. For the most part they
are married." and are in business or
occupied with professional work.
That they would have the time or
the inclination to take up football
seriously for two months is very
doubtful. Then, too, it is doubtful
if the Pasadena folk would want to
bring them west.
With the exception of 1918. when
the marines and Great Lakes played
as the feature of New Years day
and the Tournament of Roses, it has
been strictly a college event the best
eastern college team obtainablo
against the best western college
team. This is the way things should
be and the only fashion in which the
event can be kept before the nation
as the annual meeting of west versus
east.
Harvard sports one of the best
teams in ttie east this season and at
this writing stands as one of the
logical clubs to make the western
trip. However, if the crimson faculty
