'. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL ' LEGE, Corvallis. Nov. 18. (Special.) All bear stories aside, this college town is badly In the dumps tonight. ' The reason is that big George Powell, ' the husky fullback, on whom so much seemed to depend so far as Oregon Agricultural college's chances for ,' victory over the University of Oregon . here Saturday are concerned. Is out -of the game for good. He will not "be able to play. Powell is a line plunger of the Abraham type, a very locomotive on legs. His grand backfield work against the University of Washington - earlier this year was a very potent factor in enabling the Oregon Aggies to get close enough to Washington's ' goal line for McKenna to slip over his victory-bringing 3 to 0 drop kick. Knee In Injured. In the final downs of that game two Washington men fell on Powell and put his knee out of commission. He has played no more since. But two weeks ago when the plaster cast was taken off the injured joint, and Powell hobbled about the field, every o O. A. C. man's hopes arose at the prospect that he would after all be 'able to get into the lineup against Oregon. It looked still more like It this week. Powell turned out for scrim mage and bored through with his old ; zip on every down. But last night Old Man Calamity stood on the side lines as the varsity went through its work. Powell plunged through for heavy ytrdage, but when he was . downed lie did not get up. He had to be carried off the field. The injured knee had been thrown out again. That ends it so far as Powell is con . corned. If he is in the game against Oregon at all, it will be only for one down Just long enough to enable him '. to get his football letter this year. He cannot walk, let alone play. Harold McKenna Ont. Harold McKenna, Powell's under study, will not play either. He, too, is on the cripple list. So Coach Ruth, erford has shifted Kasberger over from half to full. A gleam of light shining through the gloom is Kas- berger's stellar playing in that posi tion. If he does as well in the big game -as he has been doing in prac t.ce, and he is one of the most relia ble men on the team, the backfield will still have a lot of offensive strength. Coach Rutherford's heaviest prob lem, though, seems ' to be his back field. Hodler, the halfback who shone In the California game, is not himself. He may play, but it will be only part of the game. So Kasberger at full will probably start the battle flanked by Cailre Seely at left half and Som mers at right half, though the latter has a bad ankle. Seely is new to the American game, but plaved ' rugby with Stanford last year. He shows a lot or promise. Luckily. Hugh Mc Kenna at quarter is feeling fine, though the little fellow will just about have to last the game through regard less of anything that might happen, for the substitute quarter is on the Injury list. McFadden Harts Ankle. Murius McFadden will not be in his wonted place at left end when the whistle blows. McFadden is another of the hard-luck squad, suffering from a bad ankle, a memento of the Wash ington State game. He will be re placed at end by Scott. And at right tackle the sturdy Harry Swan will be missing. He has a wrenched shoulder and his place will be taken by a substitute. But for all this. O. A. C. v ill go into the Oregon game prepared to give the university men the fight of their youns lives. Despite the wholesale shifting made necessary by these nu merous substitutions, the new com bination is doing well in practice. So well, in fact, that it may prove to be better than the original one, though fhat is stretching: a point to be hopeful. Anyway, it will he a battle. Ore gon Agricultural college has a fight ing, scrappy, never-say-quit eleven this year and they are going in there to scrap It out to the last whistle. ItAKD GAME IS EXPECTED Oregon Team Reported In Good Shape for Contest. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON-. Eugene, Nov. IS. (Special.) "They are not Koing to outfight us. They never nave ana mey never win. THIS was the statement of Bill Hayward. train er, when he was asked as to what the Oregon team was going to do to the Aggies when they ran up against the Oregon Agricultural college prod ucts at Corvallis Saturday. "We have no cinch and we know it." he con cluded. This is the spirit of the coaches and it is the spirit of the men on the football squad, and it is the spirit of the entire University of Oregon stadent body in regurd to the game with the Aggies. There have been many times in the history of the two colleges when the dope has been upset one way or the other during the annual game be tween thee two old-time rivals. There is such a feeling of rivalry be tween the two colleges that the teams vUt oiU fig&t, harder aa,in$ each. other than against any outside schools. After the game last week many figured that Oregon would "wipe up the earth" with the Aggies if they could beat Washington by such a score. The whole university realizes, however, that such is not the case. The chief reason has already been mentioned that Oregon will have a hard-fighting team to play against. Another 'big factor which must be faced is that of the rain. Coach Huntington and Trainer Hayward went to Corvallis yesterday to In spect the field. They found it a mass of mud, slime and a sprinkling of sawdust. Oregon has a team which depends largely on fast, open style of play. This type of play is the forte of Bill Steers. The Oregon line is outweighed between 5 and 10 pounds to the man. On the other hand Ore gon Agricultural college does not try the open style of play to great extent. Gap Powell will make an excellent ground getter on a muddy field. The Aggie men say that at present Powell will not be in condition to play. This is declared bunk. Powell has been working at his regular place in the Oregon Agricultural college back field all week, according to information here, and will play the game. He was kept out of the Washington State college game last week prin cipally so he could play against Ore gon, it is claimed. It is the policy of the O. A. C. coaches to make a bear story out of his absence, is the belief of the Oregon men. The Oregon team has not had hard workouts this week. It has been mainly indulging in snappy signal practice. All of the men are in good shape, which says a lot for the train ing they have received from Bill Hay ward, which allows them to play as hard a game as the one last week against the Sundodgers and still be in fine condition the following Saturday. The spirit of the O. A. C. campus makes it evident that Oregon will have to send a number of rooters with the team if they are to make any showing at all in the stands. The stu dents at Corvallis have all been wear ing "Smear Oregon" buttons all week and Friday night they are planning a big rally and bonfire at which the coaches will speak, telling of the things that they are going to do to Oregon. There will undoubtedly be a large Oregon attendance at the game, how ever, as student tickets are selling at lew rates and a special train has been engaged to take them to Corvallis. FEED TO FOLLOW CONTEST Football Warriors, Fast and Pres ent, to Gather at Corvallis. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 18. (Special.) The first annual Beaver feed to be given by the varsity "O" association and the greater Oregon Agricultural committee is to be held at 6:30 o'clock in the Masonic temple banquet hall at Corvallis Saturday night after the annual Oregon - Oregon Agricultural college football clash. Former letter men, including Pro fessor Fulton, are expecting to be present in full force. Professor Ful ton played quarter for the Aggies when it was hard to get 11 men to turn out for practice. Now the Bea vers have more than 500 men turning out for cross-country. In addition to the varsity "O" men, past and present, the present football team as honor guests, and members of varsity teams before letters were awarded. President Kerr, Governor Olcott, members of the board of re gents, the board of control, the great er Oregon Agricultural college com mittee, and others interested in inter colleg'ate athletics have been invited to attend. Homecoming week will be the time that the varsity "O" men will be given a chance to show up to good advan tage. In addition to the banquet, Jimmy Richardson, general manager of student affairs, is to present them with seats of honor along the sidelines with the players. OREGOX MEX P RE PAKE RACE AT CORVALLIS. FOR Cross-Country Event to Be Staged Just Before Big; Foot ball Contest. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 18. (Special.) The University of Oregon cross-country men are in good condition for their trip to the Oregon Agricultural college this week end. The men will run the Aggie distance men over the Oregon Agricultural col lege course Just before the time for tne game to start. They were under the tutorage of "Hank" Foster, a for mer Oregon runner, but Foster was called away the first of the week due to the death of his father, and Bill Hayward has been handling the men since then. Coleman coaches the Ore gon Agricultural college men. The chief drawback to training this year has been the great amount of rain. Six men will make the trip to Cor vallis Saturday morning and will go over the course once to familiarize themselves with it. The course will be about 3 M miles. The men will start at 2 o'clock and finish on the field just before the game. They will take two laps on the track to start, then g-j over a 2 -mile course and do a final quarter on the track. The men who are to go from Ore gon are: Walkley, English, Schaeffer, Davis, Koepp and. Blackburn. Five men are to run in the race on each side. Blackburn will be the spare for Oregon. All of the men on the team have run the distance race before. Walkley was the winner of the con test at Eugene last year between the Aggies and Oregon. Koepp was the miler for the Oregon frosh track team 1 j.st season. Davis was the varsity two-miler. Blackburn also ran in the two-mile during the season and placed in the intra-fraternity. Little is known cf the condition of the Oregon Agri cultural men. It is understood, ho ever, that Swan is to run and he is known to be a dangerous opponent.

CLASH IN YEAR OF UPSETS Although Advance Dope Seems to Favor University Eleven, There's Still Chance That Aggies May Emerge Victorious. BY L. H. GREGORY. 1HIS has been a year of peculiar upsets in football, of dope and psychology turned turtle. For the first time In IS years, Oregon Agricultural college defeated the Uni versity of Washington. For the sec ond time in 20 years, Princeton de feated Yale. Stanford toppled Ore gon and repeated on Washington when she was not supposed to have a chance. And so on and so on. Consequently, while all the advance dope seems to favor the University of Oregon to win by about two touch downs in the big game of the season with Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis tomorrow, and while the psychology of 26 years is in her favor, to say nothing of large Bill Steers and his goal-propelling hoof, there's still that chance that a year of up- sets- may eee another upset in the Aggies' favor. They smashed dope and psychology and defeated Washington 3 to 0. Can they smash dope and psychology again and overcome their fierce foe men from Eugene? The Oregon Agricultural college faculty, in the interest of the foot ball team, really should abolish the study of psychology at that institu tion. Psychology for many years has been the Aggies" bane in their annual clash with Oregon. Many a time has an O. A. C. foot ball eleven gone into conflict with a University of Oregon team seem ingly with everything in its favor only to lose the breaks and suffer heart-breaking defeat. So often has this occurred that it has come to seem almost a fatality that it should occur. This is detracting nothing from the well-known Oregon fighting spirit that has sent so many of its football teams to victory on many a field when it seemed a forlorn hope. But the importance of this state of mind in favor of the university and against O. A. C. is not to be over looked in considering the chances of each eleven tomorrow. As in the annual Stanford-University of Cali fornia game. Oregon usually playa about one touchdown better and Ore gon Agricultural college one touch down worse than normal against each other. Twenty-three times have Oregon and O. Al C. met in football since 1894. Of those 23 games, 15 have been vic tories for the university. Four have been won by O. A. C, and the other four jtere tig fcatiles,' f Rut -ii's , a. je culiar fact that O. A. C's victories generally have come in years when, as now, the chances seemed to favor Oregon. As on many a previous occasion, there promises to be plenty of rain and a wet field for the "big game." by some weather freak, it usually does rain, or has rained right up to the game, when these old rivals clash. There have been some games on dry fields, but not many in the 26 years since 1894. More than once a wet field and a soggy ball completely up set all calculations and caused the score to be totally different from ex pectations of either side. Take the celebrated struggle of 1 1907, played in Corvallis and won by the Aggies, 4 to 0, by virtue of a neat fieldgoal by Carl Wolff, Oregon had both ,a heavier and a faster team that year and was picked as an almost certain winner. Most of the game was a punting duel on a sloppy gridiron between Dudley Clarke for Oregon and Carl Wolff for O. A. C. Finally Wolff got within striking distance of the var sity goal and sent over his kick that decided the battle. Norcross of Michi gan coached the Aggies that year. One or the fiercest battles ever played between the two was that of 1904, won by Oregon on another soggy field by the heart-wrenching margin of 6 to 5. A missed goal kick after a touchdown cost the Aggies a tie after Dow V. Walker, playing center for O. A. C. had seized a fumble on his own 10-yard line and raced 100 yards down the muddy gridiron for a touchdown. The herculean Walker was the hero of that grimy struggle. He scored his historic touchdown in the first half. Oregon had rushed the ball by line plunging to the O. A. C. 6-yard line. There the great Joe Templeton fum bled. Those were the days of mass formations and five yards in three dow-ns. On this play both teams had come together and were fighting des perately, Oregon to shove .through. O. A. C. to hold. The ball slipped from Templeton's grasp and rolled to one side of the struggling mass. It rest ed there unseen for the moment by any but Walker, who had fallen flat in the scrimmage, just out of reach of the ball. An Oregon player was lying across his legs. Frantically Walker reached out for the balL He could just touch the end of it with his fingers. By jouncing it up and down with his finger tips he finally rolled ii fi fee could .clutch It, Juet as he managed to kick his legs free. Then Walker stumbled up and be gan to run. He went five yards be fore he realized that he was going in the wrong direction, than circled and started for the Oregon goal 100 ;ards down the Held. He had a 10-yard start before he was noticed. Then began a terrible race, the gigantic O. A. C. man laboring down the field with the fleet Gordon Moores and Ole Arnspiger of Oregon hot after him. He finally crashed over the goal line squarely between the posts and fell with the ball so tightly clutched to him that the O. A. C. players had to fight him to make him let go. Walker afterwards said he could never remember having crossed the goal. There was a terrific w'nd, with rain pouring in sheets, and Rine hart, the Aggie quarter, missed the goal kick. That missed kick cost O. A. C. a tie. for In the second half Oregon, by desperate line plunges, smashed through for a touchdown and Tem pleton kicked goal. All through that game Walker played like a man possessed. As rov ing center on defense he smashed up play after Oregon play. Hamilton of San Francisco, who refereed, in a statement in The Oresonlan after the game, declared that Walker's de fensive playing that day was tne finest he had ever seen. In 1905 Oregon defeated the Aggies 6 to 0 at Eugene in another game of almost superhuman effort. The score was another of the dope upsets that have marked so many Oregon-O. A. C contests, for the Aggies had been picked to win by a large score. And they probably would have won. too, but for the misguided philan thropy of a patriotic Corvallis mer chant. This merchant before the game announced that he would give a beautiful fancy-work pillow to tne O. A. C. player making the first touchdown against Oregon. The players all saw this pillow in the merchant's window and they all yearned mightily to possess It. The Aggies by savage line plunges bucked the ball nearly the length of the field to Oregon's three-yard line, with Sam Dolan doing most of the battering on tackle-back plays. It looked like a sure touchdown. But a hot dispute broke out between the O. A. C. backs as to which should smash through for that final three yards and the celebrated pillow. Root, Williams, Abraham and Grif fith all wanted the honor of the touchdown and the pillow, while Do lan had certain inalienable claims by virtue of his great line-bucking to this point. After a long controversy Root was selected. But the delay was fatal to offensive punch. Root took the ball but got no further with it than the line of scrimmage. Thereafter Oregon held off the Ag gies, and later, when an Oregon on- side kick bounced from an -. A. j. player into the ' arms of Gordon Moores near the side-lines, the speedy Oregon end raced 40 yards for the game s sole touchdown, bince tnai awful day pillows have been pro hibited in O. A. C. football circles. . In 1908. their first clash on Multno mah field, the Aggies were picked to win. They had the mighty Carl Wolff and Oregon had a team composed largely of freshmen. But again the jinx held sway. A young uregon freshman, Fred Moullen, destined to be one of the most famous in tradi tion of Oregon's many famous players, was the hero of that fray. He booted two long field goals from placement and Oregon won, 8 to 0. Of late years the psychological jinx against Oregon Agricultural college still has prevailed. The Aggies' last victory was on Multnomah field in 1917, when they took the game. 14 to 7. by two touchdowns on long runs, both scored wiahin the first eight minute3 of play.- Reardon scored the first touchdown when he caught a 50-yard punt from Bill Steers, then in his first year for Oregon, and raced 67 yards around left end. Lodel a few moments later made a 50-yard run around the same end to Oregon's 15-yard line, whence the pigskin was shoved over for i to'uchdown. In the final quarter Ore gon put up a desperate fight and scored on two beautiful forward Dasses from Steers to Medley. In 1918. the war year, Oregon won 13 to 6. Scores made in that year hardly count, but again last season Oregon was victorious by 9 to 0. So tomorrow at Corvallis the Ore gon Aggies have before them not only the task of offsetting the smashing offensive that Oregon for the first time this year showed in its game last Saturday against University of Wash ington, and the ever-dangerous Bill Steers with his propensity for drop kicking field goals, but they must also shake the ancient jinx. Can they do it? They did it against WasJaing ton, from whom up to this season they had not won in 15 years. For the very reason that the odds seem against them, to judge from their past wins, tneir ennnces are Deuer than if they measured even on the dODe. . But whether Oregon wins or O. A. C. wins, of this you may be sure. It will be a fight with neither team giving in until the last whistle, Oregon has a scrappy, aggressive football eleven. Coach Rutherford, in his first season at Corvallis, has succeeded in developing that same fighting quality in his Aggie players. Oregon Agricultural college will enter the game considerably handi capped by injuries. Big George Pow ell, whose reported return to the game at fullback so heartened the Oregon Agricultural supporters, is finally out for good. His bad knee was wrenched again in scrimmage practice Wednesday night, according to a . telephone message yesterday from James J. Richardson, Oregon Agricultural college manager of stu dent activities. Powell will play for one down somewhere in the game to win his letter for the year. But that. says Richardson, will let him out. And disclaiming any wish to in flict a pre-game bear story, Richard son declared also that McFadden, left end, is out with a turned ankle and probably will not play; that Swan, right tackle, has a bad shoulder and will not start; that Harold McKenna, at fullback, is out for keeps; and that Hodler, half, will be able to play only part of the game and won't start the first half. All of which, despite protestations, has a decidedly bearish sound. Don't bank too strongly on it giving Oregon Agricultural college no chance, for Kasberger, who will play full, is a finished backfield man; Cailre. Seely and Sommers, who are to Btart at half, are men of much promise, partic ularly Seely, who played rugby with Stanford before coming north; while Scott, taking McFadden's place at end, has played before in Southern Cal ifornia. Something wan wrong with the Oregon Agricultural college combina tion that lost to Washington State at Pullman last week. And it'a not at all unlikely that this new combination, far from weakening the Aggie line up, will give it just the punch and zip that it needs. Harbor Eleven Promise Good Came ABERDEEN. Wash., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) Predictions are being made freely that the Thanksgiving day afternoon game at Electric park be tween the Aberdeen high school and the Montesano high school elevens will draw the largest attendance of any high school game ever held here. Incidentally the much disputed tie game between the two teams earlier in the season will be decided at the samg time. . . COLUMBIA DEFEATS JEFFERSON, 33 TOO Catholjc School Winds Year With Win.

X Columbia university closed Its foot ball season yesterday afternoon on Multnomah field with a 33-ta-O vic tory over the Jefferson high eleven. A heavy field worked a handicap on both teams and the slippery ball caused frequent fumbles. At the outset the teams appeared evenly matched, but after the first quarter, which was scoreless, the strong offensive strength of Colu: .bia began to show. Jefferson was un fortunate in drawing an offside pen alty when Columbia had the ball on Jefferson's six-yard line. The penalty resulted in Columbia a first score. Houston Stockton, Columbia half back, played brilliantly despite an in jured ankle. He scored two of Colum bia's touchdowns, kicked three goals, got away for several long runs and it was his well-placed passes that resulted in one other touchdown. On the ' defense Stockton also was in practically every play. Columbia la Hard Pressed. Jefferson pressed Columbia hard in the first quarter. By a variety of spread formations the blue and gold players worked the ball to Colum bia's ten-yard line where they lost it on downs. Columbia attempted to punt, but Jefferson broke through and blocked the kick. Stockton, how ever, recovered the ball and got the second kick away in nice style. Columbia waj forced to make an other stand on its 12-yard line at the start of the second period when Jef ferson attempted to cross the goal line. The blue and gold eleven, how ever, lost the ball after four attempts to make yardage. Columbia took the ball and counted yardage three times. A pass, Stock ton to Eddie Dwyer, which the latter made good for 25 yards, placed the ball on Jefferson's 15-yard line. Stockton added eix yards more through the line and Kinney plunged tnrougn lor two more. An offside penalty, called on Jefferson, gave Co lumbia first down on the one-yard line and on the next play Stockton went over for the score. He failed to convert the goal kick. Stockton Kicks Goal. Stockton broke away for a 35-yard gain and on the next play shot a "22 yard pass to Tony Dwyer who car ried the ball over for the second score. Stockton made the count 13 by kick- ng goal. Van Orden, the hucky Columbia tackle, broke into the scoring column yesterday by picking on a fumble on Jefferson's 40-yard line and racing tor a toucnaown. . a nts was in the third quarter. Stockton kicked goal. Columbia's fourth score was also made in the third period when, after recovering a fumble In the center of the field, the prep echool squad,, with out being checked once. marched down the field for a touchdown. Kenney carried the ball over and Stockton kicked goal. Another long run by Stockton in the last period after he had inter cepted a Jefferson forward pass re sulted In the final ecore. Grabbing the ball on Jefferson's 35-yard line, he outdistanced the Jefferson play ers In the race for the goal. He missed the final goal kick. Darkness Overtakea Came. The last quarter of the game was played in darkness, which made it difficult for the players to follow the ball. This condition could be remedied by starting: the games a little earlier. Cudahy, Tony and Ed. Dwver. Savarian. Van Orden and J. Dougherty were the Columbia players who shared honors with Stockton. Wilbur and Laxon in the Jefferson backfield, and Jones. McAndie, Hig gins and Bullen on .the line, were the players who showed to the best ad vantage for the blue and gold. The lineups: Columbia (33). JetferGOn (0) IS. Dwyer I.BR McClun HcMullen .. . L.

VANCOUVER ISSUES DEFI "Hap" Miller's Team AVouId Play Washington Eleven. The Vancouver, Wash., high school football eleven has issued a chal lenge to Washington high, the local championahip eleven, for a game to be played either in Portland or Van couver for the interstate lnterschol astic title. Both teams have completed their schedules for this season, but could be brought together for a final game before tne teams aisDand. Vancouver high has made a good record this season, as has aiso the local team. The Vancouver team . is being coached by "Hap" Miller, of the fa mous Washington university eleven, coached by Gilmore Dobie. Miller has coached the team - for two years and has adopted the methods of Do bie. The record of the team for the past two years showa that he has made gooa. Vancouver nign is practically as close to Multnomah field as some of the local schools and the game, if played here, would draw a large crowd of supporters from across the Columbia. Vancouver and Washington were both planning on making trips at the close of the season, Vancouver to Spo kane and Washington to Anaconda, Mont., but at the last moment the gam'es were canceled by the out-of-town teams. Should the two teams meet, Wash ington will putweign Vancouver, but the latter will make up in speed and fight what it lacks in weight. Commerce and Lincoln will wind up their season in the interscholastic league this afternoon. A bitterly fought contest is looked for, as the teams are ancient but friendly rivals. The rivalry dates from the time the high school of commerce was sep arated from Lincoln high. Only a few blocks separate the two schools and there is keen rivalry existing be tween them in all branches of sports. Grover Francis, referee of the in terscholastic league, wants it under stood that he is not penalizing teams this year for having too many play ers on the line of scrimmage. In the report of the Hill-James John game, played on Wednesday, it was stated that he penalized Hill for having more than Beven men on the line. It was a misstatement of the facts, for Hill was not penalized for having more than seven men on the line, but instead drew the penalty for not hav ing the necessary seven players on the line of scrimmage. Uncle of Pugilist Washes Dishes for Living. Ezra It. Wlllard, Aged 73, Has Job in Salem Restaurant. SALEM. Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) Ezra R. Willard, uncle of Jess Willard, ex-world's champion heavy weight pugilist, has arrived in Salem from Spokane and today accepted a position at dishwasher in a local res taurant. Although more than 73 years of age, the elder Mr. Wiiiard declared he was as efficient in washing dishes as his nephew Jess is In the art of fighting. "Will Jess be able to come back against Dempsey?" Mr. Willard was asked. "I cannot answer that question," replied Mr. Willard, "but one thing is sure. If Jess would allow someone to train him, which he won't, and would work hard enough to get in shape, he could come back better than ever. Jess can take more punishment when he is right than any other man in the world." "I was some fighter in my day." continued Mr. Willard. "My last bout was in Moscow, Idaho, in 1892. In those days the boys clashed for blood and did not get the money they do nowadays. In those days you had to be a real sport, travel with the crowd and spend your money.
