JOHNSTON WIS OVER
TILDEN IN LUST SET
Champion Loses Match on
His Own Serve.
PORTLAND FAVORED CITY
Ten Times Before Pair Met and
Title Holder Came Through
With Five Victories.
William T. Tilden II of Philadel
phia, premier tennis player of the
world, lost a sparkling exhibition
match of tennis singles at the Live
stock pavilion in North Portland last
night to William M. Johnston of Cal
ifornia, former holder of the American
title and Tilden's closest rival.
Johnston took the first set, 6-4, the
second went to Tilden, 6-4, and Johns
ton won the final and deciding set in
deuce games, 7-5, in a stellar exhi
bition, full of dazzling and spectacu
lar shots and plays that had the crowd
wild with enthusiastic cheering first
one for one player, then the other.
Even a champion of the world
foozles them occasionally. Tilden lost
the final 6et on his own s.erve with
a. double fault into the net.
Cup Now in Australia.
This was one of three exhibition
matches played here last night by
members of the American Davis cup
team, which is on its way to Aus
tralia, there to try ' to recapture in
match play and bring back to Amer
ica this celebrated tennis trophy cup,
now in possession of the Australians.
Only ten times before have these
two great players met. Five of the
ten times Tilden has defeated Johns
ton. The other five times Johnston
has won from Tilden. Last night was
their eleventh meeting, and Portland
was one of the few -cities they have
Tisited in the course of their tour from
the east to Vancouver, B. C, whence
they sail next week for the Antipodes,
that has been favored by a match
between the two.
Speaking to students of three Port
land high schools yesterday, Tilden
laughingly said that with five wins
for each, their match tonight would
decide the championship between
himself and Johnston. Of course no
championship depended on last night's
playing, which was an exhibition
match only.
Score Skom Cloae Game.
How close the play ran may be
judged from the summary of the
three sets. In the first set, won by
Johnston, 6-4, the games wore as fol
lows: J 1 12S8S4468
T 0 1 1 1233444
In the second- set, won by Tilden
by the same score, 6-4, the game 3 ran
as follows:
J 1 122844444
T 0 112223456
In the third) set each won on his
own serve until the ninth game, when
Tilden broke through Johnston's
serve. But Johnston followed immedi
ately by breaking through his rival's
serve, making it five all. Johnston
then took the last two games, the
final one going to him on Tilden's
serve by a double fault. The games
ran:
J 1 12233444587
T 0 11223345566
Back Line Play Featured.
Both players made some wonderful
long court shot both relying al
most entirely on playing from the
back lines. Occasionally, however,
Johnston would creep up to- r.rd the
net. On several occasions when he
did so he almost invar'ably electri
fied the gallery by his great over
head smashes.
Both served with terrific speed, al
though Tilden's mighty "cannonball"
serve was the faster. Tild&n showed
his championship caliber again and
again by the variety of his play. Now
and then, after a terrlf'c back-hand
and forehand drive, he would mix a
dinky change of pace on which the
ball dropped over. the net and sim
ply died in its tracks.
At times the driving or ootn players
was so fast that it was hard for the
spectators to follow the ball.
Hardy and Wanhbum Split.
This match was preceded by a two-
set exhibition between Sam Hardy
and Watson M. Washburn, the other
two members of the Davis cup team.
It was a draw, each player taking a
eet. Washburn won the first, 7-5, and
Hardy the second, 6-3.
Following the Tilden-Johnston
match, there was a one-set exhibition
of men's doubles, in which Tilden and
Johnston, the team that will repre
sent America in doubles against the
Australians, opposed Washburn and
Hardy. To the surprise of everybody,
however, Washburn and Hardy, by
some nifty work, upset the two cham
pions and took the set 6-2. The vet
eran Hardy's net work scintillated
brightly in this match.

tunity to see the great Tilden in ac

BILL STEERS' MIGHTY HOOF
MAY BE MEANS OF VICTORY
Oregon Putting Hopeeon Long Range Drop Kick Should Washington
Make Sledding Hard in Saturday's Game.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
TWICE this season has the whunk
of a rival player's boot against
the football sunk the University
of Washington Into defeat by the
slim margin of one field goal. What
an irony it would be if another field
goal, by the University of Oregon at
Eugene Saturaay, should cost Wash
ington its third 3 to 0 loss in a row!
Yet just that contingency is likely
enough. When Bill Steers of Oregon
Is right, his mighty hoof can plant
'em over the bar from far up field.
And at last, come reports from the
Oregon campus. Big Bill is right.
So if Oregon finds the sledding hard
through the Washington line "Satur
day, watch for Steers to step back
for a drop kick whenever his team is
within long potting range of the op
position goal posts. A field goal is a
field goal, mates, as more than one
tough "fracas has demonstrated this
year. ,
Consider the big garties of the 1920
season that have been won by a single
field goal. Oregon Agricultural col
lege SDilled Washington by one, neat
ly lifted by McKenna. Dink" Tem-
pletion of Stanford repeatea against
Washington for another. In the mid
dle west last Saturday Illinois bested
Chicago by a field goal when the Jllini
were vastly in need of a score of any
kind, and Wisconsin downed Minne
sota in the same manner.
At Pasadena last New Year's, Ore
gon garnered her six points against
Harvard by two field, goals, one by
Steers, the other by Manerud. A field
goal certainly is not to be sneezed at.
And depend upon it, it Steers gets his
chance Saturday, he will not sneeze
at it, either.
Coach Shy Huntington at Oregon
realizes perfectly well that a field
goal may decide this game. Ever
sinoe the disastrous Stanford battle,
he has had Bill Steers devote from
half an hour to an hour's practice
each day at kicking filed goals. Steers
did the same before the game with
Harvard. Now the old zip has come
back to his foot and he is lifting them
over with pleasing regularity.
Any time Oregon gets within 35
yards of her rival's goal. Steers is
going to be a dangerous quantity for
Washington. He has kicked them from
a lot farther away than that. But at
that distance his boots are well-nigh
fatal.
Steers also has Improved greatly In
his punting. He did not shine in this
department against Idaho, but he took
part in that game about five days
after he had returned to the univer
sity. 'Dink" Templeton at Stanford
out-kicked him considerably, but
Templeton would out-kick almost any
punter. Just the same. Steers was
not yet himself. But the two weeks
of rest between the Stanford and the
Washington games are doing wonders.
Once more he is kicking them high
and long as of yore..

.
Oregon Agricultural cbllege real
izes that it's in for a tough time
against Washington State at Pullman
Saturday. This and the Oregon
Washington game will be the two
big conference battles this week-end.
Washington State has returned from
its 49-to-0 eefeat by California full
of fight and determination to wipe,
it 'out at the Oregon Aggies' expense
If humanly possible. O. A. C, on the
other hand, is just as full of deter
mination to prove its edge on Wash
ington State.
' .
Coach Rutherford, James J. Rich
ardson, manager of student activities,
and the Oregon Agricultural college
eleven and substitutes will be In
Portland today on their way to Pull
man. They will reach-Portland about
11:30 from Corvallls, and will pass
the afternoon here, as their train
does not leave Portland for the north
until 7 o'clock. From here they go
to Moscow, Idaho, seat of the Univer-'
sity of Idaho, which is only eight I
milAa frrm Tnllman H'. a K Tl. In will I
give the Oregon Aggies a chance to
work out Friday afternoon on the
Idaho field.
While they are In Portland today
Coach Rutherford will take his men
to the Multnomah club and work
them out on Multnomah field at
about 2 o'clock. It . will not be a
secret practice.
Accompanying the Corvallls foot
ball contingent to Pullman will be
the Oregon Agricultural college glee
club of 22 members. The whole party
will travel in two special cars. A
Joint O. A. C.-W. S. C. glee club con
cert has been arranged at Washing
ton State college as part of the
Washington State Friday night rally
before the game.
Manager Richardson already Is
making arrangements to entertain a
huge crowd at Corvallls Saturday
week for the annual football classic,
the University of Oregon-Oregon Ag
ricultural college game. The new
grandstand at Corvallis seats. 4000
and the bleachers across the field
from it and at the end of the field
will look after another 6000. There
is standing room for a great many
more. - Richardson says the bleach
ers on the east side of the gridiron
have been all covered and virtually
converted Into another grandstand
since the California game. This will
Insure dry seating for the Oregon
and O. A, C. rooters even If it should
rain. A permanent weod cover has
been built overthe seats. Eventually
the new grand stand is to be extended
entirely around the field, but that
will not happen for two or three
more years.
Jimmy Richardson is not taking
any chances on wild west stuff with
his gate receipts, thank you. - It's
just become known that on the day
of the Oregon Aggie-California game
the canny James took out $10,000
hold-up insurance to protect him from
10 A. M. to 10 P. M., by which time all
the coin was safely banked.
But it would be a bold gang of
bandits,- Indeed, that tried to get
away with the gate receipts at Ore
gon Agriculural college. At present
there is a detail of United States
cavalry regulars " there, and the
whole outfit of them, mounted and
under arms, is on guard at all foot
ball games. - A patrol of these regu
lars helped "handle the crowd at the
California game, and will be on duty
again when Oregon and O. A. C. play.
Wise bandits will take this tip and
lay off the Corvallis revenues.
Prineville Still Undefeated.
Prineville's undefeated eleven again
came out at the long end of the score
by defeating Redmond Union high
school, 56 to 0, last Saturday. Ray
mond Smith and Ogden Mills demon
strated their ability at football be
fore the home folks by playing a fine
defensive and offensive game. Mark
O'Kelley, also in a backfield berth,
showed dexterity in advancing the
ball.

Outclassing Columbia in everything
but grit, the Franklin high school
eleven tolled up a 28 to 12 victory
yesterday afternoon on Multnomah
field. It may be said that yesterday's
contest was perhaps the best- and
most thrilling played in the inter
echolastic league this season.
Coach Campbell's Quakers went on
the field to win and win they did.
Coach Madigan's team showed clearly
the heavy strain of playing three
games within 10 days and did not
have the get-up and pep that It ex
hibited against every team that it met
on the gridiron this season. After
winning five straight contests Co
lumbia went down to a 21 to 0 defeat
at the hands of Washington last week
but only after one-of the stnbbornest
battles on record.
. Staining Light Appear.
"Cnappie" King, Bill Poulsen, Claire
Badley and Jones were the shining
lights of Franklin's offense. They
played equally well on the defense
but every man on the Quaker squad Is
entitled to credit in that department
of the game.
King and Poulsen were a mountain
of strength and Columbia was unable
to stop the two brilliant pigskin
chasers.
Columbia scored. the initial touch
down, in the first quarter, when
Houston Stockton,, the smashing Co
lumbia left halfback, shot a forward
pass to Tony Dwyer, who raced 15
yards for goal. Stockton missed the
try for goal. The work of Tony Dwyer
and Stockton was the big feature of
the losers' play, the former's game
yesterday being a revelation. Tony
played his greatest game of the sea
son. The little prep school quarter
back was in the play every minute to
the end. Stockton played hard and
when the final whistle blew was ex
hausted. Two minutes before the fin
ishing blast Stockton got hold of
the ball on his own 15-yard line and
after evading his opponents dashed
down a clean field 60 yards when he
fell down of exhaustion, otherwise
nothing would have stopped him from
making a touchdown. The game was
over by the time he was on his feet
again.
Columbia Gets Unlucky Breaks.
Columbia began getting the un
lucky breaks when Cudahy .dropped a
punt in the first quarter and Franklin
recovered the ball.
Franklin crossed the blue and white
goal line three times in the second
quarter. Columbia fumbled on its own
25-yard line and after a series of line
bucks Poulsen carriea the ball over.
King kicked goal.
A few minutes later King threw
a forward pass to Jones who ran
45 yards for score. King again kicked
goal. The game was hardly under
way when King again snapped a pass
to Jones, who scored his second touch
down. The former registered his
third successful kick after touchdown.
Third Quarter Battle Royal.
The third i quarter was a battle
royal, neither team being able to
score. Numerous sensational plays
electrified the crowd. There were
fumbles, intercepted passes, success
ful passes, attempted drop kicks and
everything in the books that tends to
bring the stand to its feet. A pass
from King to Poulsen netted 45 yards.
King tried a drop kick from an angle
on the 35-yard line and missed. Tony
Dwyer played like a demon for Co
lumbia the third quarter.
Columbia opened up with an aerial
attack in the fourth period that for a
moment was highly successful. A pass
from Stockton to Tony Dwyer was
good for 45 yards. Another pass from
Stockton to Tony was good for 15
yards. Stockton carried the ball over
straight through the line.
FrankMn Play Is 'Weird.
Franklin scored its fourth touch
rown on one of the weirdest plays
REAL SPORT.
FRANKLIN
COLUMBIA
ever witnessed in local football cir
cles, interscholastic or otherwise.
King called for a play which evi
dently meant that Poulsen was to
skirt the end. Three Columbia play
ers broke through after him and he
ran back about ten yards. By this
time half of the Columbia team was
closing in on him, while he continued
his zigzag dashing toward his own
goal line. The fans began to laugh.
Suddenly Poulsen threw the ball far
up the field with a half a dozen men
on him. Clair Badley, Franklin left
half, somehow or other was going in
the general direction of Columbia's
goal line, caught the whirling ball
and ran 40 yards for a touchdown.
King kicked goal.

Ex-Multnomati Club End Plays on
Professional Football Eleven
and Wins Honors.
Andy Feitchinger, one of Portland's
best known football and semi-pro
baseball players, is scintilating in
eastern gridiron circles this season.
Formerly on an independent team and
later a Multnomah Amateur Athlete
club star end, he is playing with the
A. E. Staley Manufacturing company
team of Decatur. 111. The eleven Is a
professional aggregation, and is rated
as one of the best in the United
States. Three men who formerly were
ail-American players are in the line
up, while George Halas, famous foot
ball player and outfielder for the New
York Yankees, is playing right end
and coaching the team. Halas broke
into the hall of fame while playing on
the University of Illinois team years
igo. He also played on the Illinois
baseball team, and at the end of his
college course he was signed by the
New York American team.
Feitchinger is one of the hardest
tacklers ever developed in this part
of the country, and a bear at grab
bing forward passes He received
numerous offers to go to college, but
he preferred to play semi-pro base
ball and club football. He acted as
umpire in the interscholastic league
in part of last year's games.
Two years ago he received an offer
to play with Jim Thorpe's profes
sional eleven, but other plans caused
him to refuse the offer. Later in the
season he conceived the desdre to play
the pro game, but it was too late.
This season he lost no time in leav
ing for the east as soon as football
talk began to rumble. The Staley
machine has won four games this sea
son and lost none, beating the best
teams in the game.
In the lineup are such players as
Pard Pearce, formerly Pennsylvania
quarterback; Charlie Dressen, mid
dle western star; George Trafton and
Jerry Jones, formerly of Notre Dame;
Hubbard Shoemaker, formerly star
linesman of the University of Illi
nois; Guy Chamberlain, formerly all
American end, playing in 1913, 1914
and 1915 with Jumbo Stiens' great
Nebraska elevens, and Jimmy Gonzel
man, last season selected as all Mis
souri valley quarterback. Six men
on the squad are ex-members of Uni
versity of Illinois team.
Feitchinger is having a great sea
son playing the entire four quarters
in all of the games but one. He and
Halas, who is holding down the other
end, were mentioned as stars in the
contests.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 10. (Special.)
The Oregon Aggie football squad
will be in Portland Thursday on their
way to Pullman, Wash., where they
will clash with Washington State col
lege November 13.
The team has been scheduled to
leave Corvallis on the Southern Pa
cific at 7:30 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, and will remain in Portland un
til 7 o'clock that night, when they
will leave for Pullman.
"Cheer Xing' Stann is completing
arrangements to give the team a
royal send-off when they leave Cor
vallis. The entire student body is
back of the movement, and will be at
the depot, accompanied by the college
band. ,
While the team is battling at Pull
man, the student body will dance and
receive wire reports on the game at
the men's gymnasium. Arrangements
have been completed for the installa

Beavera to Stay at Multnomah.
Upon arriving at Portland the
Beaver team will go to the Multno
mah hotel, where they will have lunch
and meet the alumni and ex-students
of the college. In the afternoon they
will hold secret practice on the Mul
nomah football field.
Manager Jimmy Richardson re
ceived many requests from former
O. A. C. students, asking that they be
permitted to give a reception to the
team upon their arrival in Portland.
The requests had to be refused in
order that the men could rest and
later work out on the club field.
"Gap" Powell, all-northwest full
back, who is out of the game for the
rest of the season, will make the trip
with Coach Rutherford and Manager
Richardson. Powell, however, will
not be able to take part in any of the
game, although he will be of great
help to the coach in watching the
team in action. Assistant Coach
Rathbun will not go, but will accom
pany "Rook" Coach Hager to Oregon
to watch the frosh and rooks battle.
Soccer Game Cancelled.
The college socc- game, which was
scheduled to be played at Eugene on
November 11, as well as the "rooks"
cross country race, has been called
off by the University of Oregon.
The Aggies freshmen team will
leave Corvallis early Thursday morn
ing for Eugene, Or., where they have
been scheduled to play the univer
sity's frosh on Armistice day.
Reginold Tonsey, former Jefferson
star, who was the yardage gainer for
the freshmen during the Multnoman
Guard game, will enter the game at
fullback. Other freshmen who will
likely star for the local yearlings will
include, Powell, Bears, Gill, Taggart,
Simon, Boise, Jessup, Loughrey and
Garety.
SUN DODGERS ARE COXFIDEXT
University of Washington Hopes to
Beat Oregon Team.
Universtiy of Washington players,
coach, and students, are going to Eu
gene. Or., for the Oregon-Washington
game this week confident that the
Sun Dodgers will overcome the
Lemon and Yellow in Washington's
last conference game.
The same line that fought Stan
ford will face Oregon, and in addition
to the stone wall defense of the center
of the line, the ends will be much
improved. Captain Faulk was still
weak from his injuries last week and
will be going better Saturday, while
Abel will be stronger for his ex
perience at end. Playing his first
game on the wing, he showed well
last week, but was hardly fast enough
for the fleet Cardinal ends.
In the backfield, Johnny Wilson,
playing his first game at quarter,
was responsible for much of Wash
ington's delay and failure on the of
fensive, but he will go better in the
next game. He steadily improved all
during the Stanford game, running
the team"" exceptionally well in the
last quarter.
Ray Eckman, the .145-pound Sun
Dodger half, played "his best game
last week, and was solely responsible
for saving the Washington goal from
a touchdown more than once. With
Rea Butler and Harper alternating
with Eckman, the Washington back
field gained better yardage through
the line than Stanford, losing only
on punts. ,
GAME STARTS HOUR EARLIER
Jefferson Team In Condition to
Give Washington Hard Fight.
The Washington-Jefferson game
scheduled for this afternoon will
be started at 2:30 instead of 3:15. the
usual hour. Late in getting a start
this season, the Jefferson team is fast
