"Fighting: Aggies"
U. of W.
"Sundodgers"
Defeat Saturday Would Pat Team
Oat of Running for Coast
Conference Title.
OREGON' AGRICULTURAL COL
LKGE. Corvallls. Oct. 20. (Special.)
"We must have more punch In our
backfleld, and I am going to get it if I
have to shift the whole team around,"
declared Coach Rutherford today. The
coach Is working his men unmerci
fully In preparation for the big game
liere Saturday against the University
of Washington.
To remain In the Pacific coast con
ference championship race the Aggies
simolv must win this game. A loss
.would put them out of the running
Just when prospects for a champion
ship team look better, than at any
other time in O. A. C. history.
Low Score Expected.
"Washington will know she has
bfen through a battle after Saturday's
game," said Rutherford. "I don't
lock for a big score either way. In
some quarters there is an inclination
to think Washington Is "easy." I don't
think anything of the kind. Bag
sbaw hasn't been saying much, but
to my mind his team Is several touch
downs better right now than the
Washington eleven was at any time
last year.
"But we 'ter this game, and
( are goin t it If we possibly
can. That's . want to add snap
and drive to the backfield. Our of
fense isn't strong enough to suit me,
and It must be strong to defeat Wash
ington." Guy Rath bun, assistant coach, took
In the Washington-Montana game
Saturday. He agrees with the head
coach that the Aggies must develop a
more powerful attack than they have
shown this year to overcome Wash
ington. The defense, also, he says
must be bolstered up. There Is no
Inclination in the coaching staff to
take Washington too lightly. Every
body here has a most wholesome re
spect for Coach Bagshaw.
Team In Fine Shape.
Except for Summers, Winnie and
Garber, who are out from injuries:
Ed Clarke at guard, who Isn't In
form yet, and Captain George Powell,
who has been 111, the team is In ex
cellent shape. The men are fit, free
from bruises and just about on edge.
Moreover, they are so full of fight
that they have been running the poor
scrubs ragged in practice.
Trainer Butler has been working
hard with the boys. Their good con
dition is due largely to his efforts.
The last scrimmage in preparation
for the Washington game wag held
Wednesday night. Since then pass
ing, blocking and signal practice have
been the drill subject. Also, Coach
Rutherford has been liberal with his
kull talks.
Might Tackle Unsettled.
Right tackle still is a questionable
point. Andy Crowell, last season's
star in that position, returned only a
couple of weeks ago and hasn't
trained down to midseason condi
tion yet, so he and Harold McKenna
are dividing the post at present. Tay
lor, Heyden and Clarke all are show
ing up well at right guard, and Har
old McKenna may be switched o
that position, too.
Taggart. Loughrey or Tousey will
play right end. Otherwise the line
up will be about the same as against
Willamette and Multnomah, with some
change probable in the backfleld.
KOT A CHANCE, SAYS BAGSHAW
Couch, Glum at Prospects of Game
With Aggie, Slay Spring Surprise.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) "They don't know anything
I didn't know a bunch could be so
Ignorant.
This was the opinion voiced today
by Coach Bagshaw of the Washing
ton football squad preparatory to the
quad's last workout before the Cor
vallls trip. Bagshaw is the personi
fication of pessimism. According to
him. the Washington eleven hasn't a
chance of victory unless Coach
Rutherford's crew comes down with
pneumonia en masse.
To be assured of having enough
men in case of need. Bagshaw took
about 25 players with him. In addi
tion to Freshman Coach Matthews,
Trainer Edmundson, Student Manager
Olwell and Graduate Manager Meis
nest, when he left late tonight.
Expectancy pervades the Washing
ton campus. Everyone is keen to
know Just what the ex-Everett
coaching wizard is likely to spring
on the AfKirs. That Bagshaw has
something up his sleeve seems to be
conceded. Whether the "something"
consists of a string of new plays, a
shift In the lineup or what not, has
not been revealed, but it is evident
that Washington supporters look for
the unexpected when the Sundodgers
trot out on the Corvallls gridiron.
Special care has been taken this
week by Bagshaw and his corps of
assistants to keep the daily practices
lecret.
That Bagshaw has been giving his
charges an intensive course in real
football Is undeniable. The men are
thoroughly tired out when they leave
the field and hit for the showers.
But withal Baggy has his men In ex
cellent shape. None are overdrawn
and every player on the squad is in
the best of condition. Minor injuries
are in the minority.

tonight without having signed Jack

champion, for a match with Jess Wil

Dempsey definitely had agreed to

Asked by Dempsey if he was "get

said, probably would be held In the

MAKES IT& DEBUT. TOMORROW
Athletes Are Waiting for Whistle to Turn Them Loose in the Opening
Games of the Championship Race.
BY L., H. GREGORY.
THEY'RE on their mark, they're
set, they're ready to go. At Cor
vallls, where Oregon Agricultural
cpllege ' plays Washington, and at
Berkeley, where California and Ore
gon meet, the athletes are waiting
for the whistle to turn them loose
tomorrow in the opening games of
the Pacific coast conference football
championship race. .
All tha games played heretofore
have been mere preliminaries to the
race that now begins. The colleges
all enter it on an even basis. But
by tomorrow night at least two elev
ens probably will be eliminated and
cut of the running, for so few con
ference games are scheduled that a
single defeat ordinarily is ruinous to
a varsity's championship hopes.
Though there are six colleges in
the coast conference, only four of
them play today. The other two
Stanford and Washington State
both have scheduled games, but not
coast conference contests. Stanford
plays the strong Pacific fleet eleven
in what will be her final practice
game of the season, while Washing
ton State engages the University of
Idaho. The Washington State-Idaho
game counts in the northwest con
ference, but has no bearing on the
coast.
Interest here centers mainly on the
Oregon Aggie-Washington game at
Corvallls, both because it is closer
and also because the Oregon Ag
gies appear to be championship
contenders, while Oregon, which piays
California, on form shown up to the
present, is not a contender. You
never can tell in football. Sometimes
a team accounted a certain victim
accomplishes an amazing reversal
and upsets the champion. Though
that is a possibility in the Oregon
California game, it also is a decided
Improbability. All the football dope
sters pick California to win by from
two to five touchdowns.
But this Oregon Aggie-University
of Washington game, from all pres
ent Indications, will be a whale of a
contest. On form the Aggies should
win it. They have a powerful eleven
with" a great attack, whereas Wash
ington is a new team, erected on the
ruins of a poor team that last season
won not one of its Pacific coast con
ference games, and only one game all
toll, practice contests and all.
But in football what Is past is past
and the present and future are some
thing else. From the ruins of 'the
beaten eleven of last year, Washing
ton's new coach, Enoch Bagshaw, an
ex-Washington player himself, who
had been called as a football Moses
to restore to his varsity her old-time
prestige, has built what appears to
be a formidable machine.
In its early games it has lacked
somewhat in offensive power and has
been rough and unpolished in places,
but what of that? Every early season
eleven is the same. The significant
thing about the new eleven coached
and developed by Bagshaw is that it
possesses the spirit of the conqueror.
A team that feels that way can be
licked only by being licked. Though
the Aggies have the edge, it looks
like a tough game.
Oregon Agricultural college simply
must win this game. To lose it, or
to be held to a tie score, would about
eliminate the Aggies from any chance
at the coast conference championship.

And for the first time in many, many
years it appears from their season
showing that they not only have a
chance at that championship, if they
win tomorrow, but a great chance.
This prospect and the fighting spirit
of their coach, Dick Rutherford, have
pepped up the Aggie players to an ex
tent never known before at Corvallia.
If they wish to retain their new
name of the "Fighting Aggies," it is
distinctly up to the men from Cor
vallia to win over Washington and to
win by a good score.
So much Interest Is taken locally
In the Oregon Aggie-Washington
game that the Southern Pacific has
arranged to run a special red elec
tric train from Portland to Corvallls.
This red electric football special
will leave the Union depot in Portland
at 11:10 A. M. and the Fourth and
Stark streets station at 11:15, and is
due to arrive at Corvallls at 2:15, just
before the game. It will leave Cor
vallls on the return trip 30 minutes
after the end of the game.
The special's schedule follows:
Leave union depot, 11:10 A. M. ; fourth
and Stark, 11.15 A. M : Newberg. 12:23
P. M. ; McMlnnvlllo. 12:57 P. M ; Indepen
dence, 1:40 P. M.; Arrive Corvallis 2:15
P. M.
The round trip fare by this red elec
tric special, Including war tax, will
be $6.85.
'
The Oregon Electric will not run a
special, but its regular train leaving
Tenth and Hoyt streets at 10:45 ana
Jefferson street station a few minutes
later, probably will have many pas
sengers for the game. Those going
by Oregon Electric arrive In Corvallls
at 2:20, but one change of cars is
necessary while the red electric spe
cial goes direct.
Reserved seats for the game are on
sale at A. G. Spalding's store in Port
land, and at Hauser Bros.' stores in
Salem, Eugene and Albany.
An old-time Oregon Aggie student
writes as follows:
"Occasionally the papers refer to
the football game between Oregon
Agricultural college and the Uni
versity of Washington Saturday as
the first to be played between those
two on the Corvallls campus. A lot
of us old-timers who will see Satur
day's game saw a contest between
the two on the Oregon Agricultural
college campus in 1897, which O. A. C.
won by a score of 16 to 0.
"The same year the Aggies defeated
Oregon, 25 to 8. The next year the
entire college team and the few sub
stitutes available in those days, en
listed for the Spanish-American war
and served in the Philippines. O. A.
C. had no team in 1898, although at
the request of the university, 11 col
lege men, most of whom never had
on a football suit before or since.
played Oregon under the agreement
that it was to be considered, only a

"All the members of the 1897 col

TOURIST DELEGATES ON LINKS
Visitors to Play Off Tourney Tie on
Home Links.
When the directors and members
of the Pacific NorthwestTourlst as
sociation were here last week, F. T.
Hyskell, one of the Portland directors
and member of the Portland Golf
club, thought it would be a fine en
tertainment feature to stage a golf
tournament for the visitors.
A handsome cup was put up for the
player turning In the low net score.
Hyskell with a 75 won the cup. After
thinking it over, it seemed hardly fair
for a local player to walk off with
the cup. so he decided to turn it over
to the second low score. Joshua
Kingham of Victoria, B. C, and C. E.
Ingles of Corvallis were tied. As
there was not time enough to play oft

two play over their home courses and
then forward their card9 to Hyskell.
The trophy will go to the one having

MEXICANS LIKE BASEBALL
Marked Popularity Attained by
Sport, Says Ban Johnson.
CHICAGO, Oct 20. Baseball has
attained such a marked popularity in
Mexico, according to Ban Johnson,
president of the American league,
that today he announced he would
go to Mexico City by December 1 to
explain how the game is conducted in
the United States.
In 1907 C. A. Comiskey took the
White Sox to Mexico City for the
training period. The occasion was
marked with' great pomp. So much
interest was raised that the boys im
mediately took up the game and since
then several creditable players have
been developed, Mr. Johnson said.
Vancouver, Rldgefield to Play.

Iowa Declared to Be Most Likely
to Capture Gridiron Title In
Middle West.
BY NORMAN ROSS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20. (Special.)
The surprise of the big t,en conference
last week was the comeback of Ohio
Stafe, which, defeated the week before
by Oberlln, a non-conference college,
came through and walked over Min
nesota to the tun of 27-0.
Dopesters had written the Ohioans
out of their calculations entirely, as
it was felt in many quarters that
their win of the title last year had
been fluky, -'and that at least two
teams in the western conference were
stronger. After their defeat by
Oberlln, they were accounted done.
Minnesota previously had beaten
Northwestern by a large score. As
Doc Williams, gopher coach, usually
turns out some great teams, the re
sult of the game with Ohio State was
a foregone conclusion in the minds
of some. As so aften happens in
football, the doperters fell hard.
Title Race Keen.
The race for the B'g Ten conference
title and the chance for a trip to the
Pacific coast is a keen one. Just
now. the indications are that Iowa
will go through her schedule unde
feated. What was considered her
toughest match of the season was
decided last Saturday between Iowa
and Illinois, the former winning 14-2.
Now Iowa looks to have an easy job
to beat Purdue, Minnesota, InSiana
and Northwestern. Purdue was
beaten Saturday 33-0 by Notre Dame,
a team which Iowa beat earlier In the
season. The other teams have failed
to show any strength yet.
It does not seem unlikely that Ohio
State might again have a claim on
the conference title. It is very pos
sible that either Ohio or Michigan will
go through the season without a de
feat, and that there will be a tie in
the conference standing, with two un.
defeated teams claiming the title. It
Is not customary to play off a post
season game in this case, for some
reason.
Michigan to Play.
Saturday. of this week Yost starts
his Michigan aggregation in its first
conference game of the season, and
against not less Important opponents
than Ohio State, so fans will not
long be in doubt as to how the teams
stand.
Wisconsin may yet prove the dark
horse of the conference. In defeating
Northwestern 27-0, the Badgers
showed well. The backfield combina
tion of Sundt, Elliott, Williams and
Gibson played together all last year,
and works very smoothly now.
Forward passes take an important
place in the equipment of all the
mid-western teams this year, par
ticularly a short over-the-line pass
from halfback to quarter. Wisconsin
used a punt formation much to start
end runs and throw passes from. The
play which perhaps worked best for
her against both South Dakota and
Northwestern was a running forward
pass, which started like a regular end
run, fairly wide. As the runner
neared the line of scrimmage he let
his Interference get well ahead and
as he was about to be tackled, passed
the ball ahead to one of his team
mates. Comparison Is Made. '
It is the writer's opinion after see
ing most of the big ten teams in ac
tion that football played in the mid
west is not a bit better than that
played by the Pacific coast colleges.
Lone Star Diets got away well In
his first start as a coach in this lo
cality. His team from Purdue, never
rated as a first-class team, upset all
dope by holding the University of
Ch'cago 9-0. Up to that time Chicago
had been considered on the way to
reap great honors, but found that wily
oia uietz had a few men placed
wherever their man with the ball
wanted to go. Both the Maroon scores
in this game were lucky ones, being
the results of kicks blocked behind
Purdue's goal line, one counting as a
touchdown and the other as a safety.
Tlgrer Victory Likely.
