Oregon Outplays Harvard

East's Bright Star Has
Against "Shy's" Lads.
BY CAPTA1X ROSCOE FAWCETT.
PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 1. (Spe
cial.) Harvard university defeated
Oregon in the annual intersectional
football classic today by the hairline
margain of 7 to 6, but not before the
Pacific coast champions had demon
strated to a delirious, wildly en
thused throng of 35,000 holiday vis
itors that gridiron geography is not
bounded on the west by the Missis
sippi river or the Rocky mountains.
Twice before the west had hum
bled the east in these annual New
Year's games in Pasadena. This aft
ernoon Harvard, the undefeated team
of the east, sent out on the lime
ribbed gridiron to vindicate the east
a team of veritable Goliaths, and
they towered over the Oregon ath
letes much as I imagine Goliath
must have towered above David.
Oregon Unbluffed by Bulk.
Unbluffed by the huge bulk of the
Cambridge college athletes, Oregon
piled into them like a bunch of wild
animals, outscrimmaged them, -ut-kicked
them and outfeinted them,
but didn't outpass them, and therein
lies the answer for Oregon's defeat.
The ail-American star,-Eddie Casey,
couldn't do anything from scrim
mage, but he did fish two or three
forward passes out of the atmos
phere, and two of these converted
' into a touchdown in the first half
account for the Harvard victory.
Forward passing proved the fly
in the Oregon omelet. The score
by quarters follows:
Harvard O 7 O O 7
Oregon
O O O 6
Oregon drew first blood when
Steers booted a dropkick between
the goal posts from the 30-yard line
before the second quarter was two
minutes old. The first quarter had
ended with the ball in Oregon's pos
session on the Harvard 15-yard line.
Five minutes after Steers' beautiful
dropkick Harvard rushed the ball
cross the Oregon goal, following
tAo 15-yard passes from Quarter
back Murray to Eddie Casey.
Casey's Running Puzzle.
Oregon must have had the wrong
dope on Harvard's pass attack, far
her defensive halfbacks played as
though they expected Casey to cut
in directly behind the scrimmage
line. Instead, Casey skirted wide,
and neither Brandenburg nor Jacob
berger got close enough to touch
him with a fish pole.
Casey's two passes, with the help
of a few short gains through the
line, advanced the ball from midfield
to the Oregon 14-yard line, and
from here Church, subbing for Ralph
Horween, ran it across the goal line
on a sprint around left end after a
fake attempt at another forward
pass.
Only this once, did the Oregon
ends fall down, much to my surprise,
for I had been led to believe by those
who had watched Oregon in all her
games that her ends were weak.
However, the Oregon wing guar
dians, Howard and Anderson, played
brilliantly all through today's game,
nailing Harvard runners, spilling in
terference and going down under
kicks like world's champions.
Oregon Shows Class.
With the score 7-3 in Harvard's
favor midway in the second quarter,
the western football heroes showed
the real fight that always has char
acterized the teams ' representing
Oregon. Steers and Huntington were
both booming great guns, but the
egon supporters were given a ter-

Who Make Successful Getaway.
Three highwaymen held up the
Fashion garage, at Tenth and Taylor
streets, just across the street from the
Central library, and obtained between
?60 and J70 at 11 o'clock last night. The
footpads glided away mysteriously
and neither thevtwo men whom" they
had held up nor the police could
discover which way they had gone or
the manner of their escape.
H. Morrison, night manager of the
garage, and a friend, H. Hebert, 1204
East Main street, were in the build
ing when two of the robbers entered.
The third man stayed outside to watch
for newcomers.
The two inside searched both the
victims, but obtained nothing except
what they got from the till. The high
waymen overlooked a $20 bill in Mr.
Hebert's pocket.
Two of the robbers answered the
description of the men who held up
the Ainsworth garage a few nights
ago. The descriptions follow:
No. 1, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 28 years
old, with a thin face. He wore a gray
hat and a dark overcoat.
No. 2, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 26 years
old. He wore spectacles, a dark over
coat, a soft hat and carried a blue
revolver.
No. 3, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 25 years
old, light complexloned. He wore a
brown overcoat, a soft dark hat and
carried, a nickel-plated revolver. The
first man displayed no weapons.

SPECIAL ELECTION
y
Measures Can Be Acted
On at Primaries.
FORMIDABLE BALLOT LIKELY
Capital Punishment Abolition
to Go Before Voters.
ROADS BILL IS ANOTHER
Convening Legislature Promises
Activity and Several Other Mat
ters May Be Referred.
It is a foregone conclusion that a
special state election will be held in
May, on the date of the regular pri
maries. The special election un
doubtedly will be authorized at the
special session of the legislature. Be
ing held simultaneously with the pri
maries the cost of the special elec
tion will be reduced to a minimum, as
polling places and judges and clerks
have to be provided by the respective
counties on that date for the nomi
nating primaries.
Evidently, the ballot for the spe
cial election will bo quite formidable.
The number of measures submitted to
the voters will be governed by the
activity of the legislature, and It
promises to be a decidedly active spe
cial session and may even run wild
for a couple of weeks or longer.
Capitnl Famishment Issue.
There are certain measures which
will find a placs on the ballot, at
least two such, and there are tenta
tive measures in the offing. For ex
ample, the people will- be given an
opportunity to repeal the section or
the state constitution which abolishes
capital punishment.
There Is a strong and growing
sentiment throughout Oregon that a
mistake was made when the death
penalty was removed as a punishment
for murder. Some little opposition
may develop in the special sesalon
against restoration of capital pun
ishment, but this will be limited to
a few members. Representative E. E.
Smith of Multnomah is expected to
remonstrate against reinstituting the
death penalty, but he will be in a
hopeless minority on the subject
Road Amendment Favored.
The proposed amendment of Repre
sentative James Stewart, to Increase
the indebtedness of the state for road
purposes from 2 to 4 per cent, will
also be placed on the ballot by the
legislature. Those members who are
in close touch with the development
of the highway system in Oregon
are aware that further funds are re
quired to keep the work under way.
If the amendment is not referred to
the people by the session it will have
to be initiated, take its place on the
ballot in November and, If approved
by the people, new funds cannot be
authorized before the session of 1SJ1
By placing the amendment on the
ballot at the special election and pass
ing a bill authorizing the highway
commission to sell bonds providing
the amendment is. indorsed at the
May special election, new money will
be at hand to carry on the work
throughout 1920 without stopping or
slowing down the programme, as will
be .the case if no funds can be se
cured before the 1921 regular session.

MA
INDICATED
SUGAR CONTROL BILL
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
POWER GIVEN WILSON" TO BUY
CT7BAX SUPPLY.
Shipments Already Coming In and
Decline in Price In Next Few
Weeks Is Indicated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. President
Wilson has signed the McNary bill
continuing the United States sugar
equalization board through 1920. It
was announced today at the White
House that his signature had been at
tached before midnight last night.
Secretary Tumulty in making the an
nouncement issued this statement:
"The president has signed the sugar
control bill. The bill confers discre
tion on the president In the matter of
purchasing sugar from Cuba. It is
doubtful whether it will be practica
ble or wise for the president to exer
cise the power, conferred so far as the
purchase and distribution of sugar are
concerned."
Some of the Cuban sugar already
has been purchased and there is no
central control over sugar In Cuba, aa
there was last year, and It might,
therefore, be impossible for the gov
ernment now to step in and purchase
the sugar without increasing the price
to the consumer. The bill, however,
continues the licensing power also,
and this power may be used to assist
In controlling the profiteering among
distributors.
Much Cuban sugar is coming In
now ' and the Indications are that
prices have reached their peak and
that there will be a tendency for
prices to 'fall in the next few weeks.
INVENTOR FOUND DEAD
George B. Sinclair and Wife Die
In Gas-Filled Rooms.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Jan. 1. The
bodies of George B. Sinclair, M.
widely known inventor of musical In
struments, and his wife, Margaret
Flint Sinclar, 58, were found on the
floor in the breakfast room of their
spacious home here today. Apparent
ly they had died from inhaling poi
sonous fumes emitted by a gas heater
in an adjoining room. The house was
tightly closed and every 'room was
filled with the deadily mixture of gas
and air.
A quantity of food was found on the
table and the police said an analysis
of this would be made to determine
whether poison other than gas had
not been first employed by a possible
murderer.
Sinclair came here about six months
ago from Boston where for years he
was vice-president of the choral cello
manufacturing company of that city.

PALMER ATTACKED BY HOYNE
Attorney-General Is Accused
of "Petty Politics." .
"PUSSYFOOT" POLICY HIT
Radicals Said " to " Preach nrpr.

tribute Seditious Literature.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1. Raids resulting
in the arest of 200 or more Industrial
Workers of the World, communists
and other radicals were carried out
today under the direction of State's
Attorney Hoyne, who tonight in a
statement attacked Attorney-General
Palmer for the failure of the depart
ment of justice agents to co-operate.
Agents of the military intelligence
branch of the central department of
the army aided the county prosecutor.
Mr. Hoyne said the raids had been
timed for 4 P. M., New Year's day.
He said he had recently gone to
Washington to confer with govern
ment officials. At noon today, after
receipt of a personal letter from Attorney-General
Palmer, asking him
not to proceed with the plan, federal
department of Justice agents with

Iety Politics I barred.
"Apparently Attorney-General
Palmer or some of his friends are
playing petty politics with the situa
tion and are pursuing a 'pussyfoot"
policy." said Mr. Hoyne's statement.
"Expressing my opinion as a citizen
and a democrat, I do not believe Nero
or any other fiddler can be elected
president of the United States."
Edward G. Brennan, chief of the
bureau of investigation of the de
partment, of justice, refused to com
ment on the absence of Ms men in the
raids.
The prosecutor asserted that daily
in Chicago members of the radical or
ganizations addressed meetings urging
their hearers to "await the one big
day" and that their purpose was noth
ing less than overthrow of the gov
ernment. Mr. Hoyne declared that
the I. W. W., the communist party and
the communist labor party members
and anarchists and syndicalists were
distributing tons of seditious litera

He said today's raids were only the
beginning of his drive, which he de

radicals from Cook county. His in
vestigation, he said, had disclosed
that the leading agitators , in "this
criminal conspiracy" centered .their
activities in Chicago, New York, Bbs
ton, Cleveland, Detroit and Seattle.
Mr. Hoyne declared his men had
been armed with 200 search warrants
and that in addition a number of
warrants charging conspiracy had
been issued by Judge Hugh Pam of
the criminal court. Four men were
arrested on the latter warrants to
day. Among them was George An

NEEDS OF RAILWAYS
PUT AT 3 BILLIONS
PLIGHT IS SERIOUS, AVERS
NORTHERN' PACIFIC HEAD.
Spending of Big Sum on Cars, En
gines and Shops Within Next
Few Years Advocated.
ST. PAUL, Minn.. Jan l.Three bil
lion dollars must be spent by ttje rail
roads of the United States "within the
next few years," to provide flrst-class
passenger and freight facilities. It was
declared today by Howard Elliott,
president-of the Northern Pacific rail
road, who came from New York for
conference with railroad officials.
"Difficult and serious as is the
plight of the railroads, and of the
owners of 1 20.000.000,000 of railroad
property, it Is not more serious than
the condition facing the country," said
Mr. Elliott.
"Transportation facilities must be
made available not only for the pres
ent volume of business, but for the
increases that a progressive nation
like the United States needs each
year.
"Since the government took con
trol, only 100,000 new freight cars
have been bought, so that at the end
of 1919 there probably are not more
than 3.400.000 freight cars in the
country slightly more than in 1915
It is not too much to say that prob
ably 3, 000.000. 000 should be spent;
for cars, engines and shop facilities i
by American railways within the next
few years, if the country's transpor
tation needs are to be met."
Mr. Elliott left for Chicago tonight.
He did not make any announcement
regarding reports circulated in rail
road quarters here, that the leading
roads of the country were planning to
make important statements regard
ing broadened passenger services
when private ownership is restored.
There have been reports that the
schedules to the Pacific coast via
various routes are to be shortened
and that trains de luxe and extra fare
trains will be put into service.

HARVARD WINS
BY SINGLE POINT
Oregon Battles Crimson
to Standstill
FINAL COUNT STANDS 7-8
Lemon-Yellow Fights Gallant
ly From First Play to
Last Whistle.
EUGENE BACKFIELD STARS
Huntington's Team, Out
weighed, Holds Own With
Speedy Easterners.
(By the Associated Press.)
TOURNAMENT PARK, Tasa
dena, Cal., Jan. 1. Harvard's foot
ball team, coming out of the east to
defend their athletic supremacy
against Oregon of the west, held
their laurels today by a narrow mar
gin, winning the annual game fea
tured by the Tournament of Roses
here with a final score of 7 to 6.
The Harvard points were gamed on
a touchdown by Church and a clean
goal from touchdown by A. Hor
ween, while Oregon's points came
from goals from the field by Steers
and Manerud.
From a standpoint of clean sport,
sustained interest and thrilling mo
ments, the game topped those of
previous years, being replete with
interest. The play of the opponents
was so evenly matched that not un
til the last minutes of the final pe
riod was the result at 11 certain,
and Oregon kept fighting to the '
instant that the whistle blew. Had
the men not done so they would have
lost by a far more one-sided score,
as the ball, in Harvard's possession,
was within a few inches of their
hard-defended goal until the last in
stant of play, when the westerners
regained it on downs, with less than
a foot of the field remaining between
them and disaster.
Oregon Men Shine.
Steers, Jacobberger, ' Huntington
and Manerud were the stars of the
Orego.n aggregation, although the
support rendered by their teammates
was of the best. Steers punted and
bucked the line in a manner that
made him the favorite of the Oregon
supporters, and when he was forced
out by an injury and Manerud went
in, the latter ran like a demon,
punted in style remarkable consider
ing his small size and weight and
bucked the line so strongly that he
hurtled through time after time.
For Harvard the Horweens were
the bright particular stars, while
Eddie Casey, their teammate back
of the line, worked hard and success
fully. There was no development of
any particular style of play, the for
ward pass, punting, line formations,
a few trick plays and all other usual
tactics being used as the occasion re
quired and without any particular
lack of success, or shining victory,
for any of them.
Harvard Team Play Good.
Harvard's victory was probably
due as much to superior team work,
based on experience gained on east
ern fields, as to any single factor.
Weight seemed to have little to do
with it, judging from the way their
opponents held their line smashes.
Speed was equally divided, the backs
of the opposing teajns seeming to
get over the ground with equal fa
cility. In interference and blocking,
the" easterners had a shade the best
of it, according to press experts, but
the teams were so evenly matched
that there was little choice in any
particular. In fact, if Manerud had
been a trifle more successful in his
effort to kick goal from the field in
the last period, the top figures of
the score might easily have gone to
the westerners.
The greatest crowd ever assem
bled at Tournament park was gath
ered for the event. The park seated
more than 30,000 people, and gen
eral admissions for standing room,
only ran up the attendance to ap
proximately 35,000, according to of
ficials. The day was perfect, a
slight haze overcasting the sun, not
