Local football followers have not
fully recovered from the shock re
ceived as the result of the Oregon
Aggie-Stanford game in Palo Alto
Saturday.
The Aggies appeared to be the team
of teams a real contender for the
coast conference championship. It ap
peared to be the best team In 15 years
at the college. On the other hand,
there was Stanford. The Cards looked
fine the first game of the season,
beating the Mare island marines 41
to 0. They looked good against St.
JUary's, winning 10 to 0, then defeated
the Olympic club 7 to 0. But they
slumped terribly against the Pacific
fleet eleven, going down to a 27-to-7
defeat. After this game there wasn't
a question In the minds of the fans but
that the Aggies would trim Stanford
at least 20 to 0. The result Stanford
14, O. A. C. 7 Is now conference his
tory. It was too bad. Stanford got all
the breaks. Judging from the running
account of the game.
Another heart-breaking result here
was the outcome of the California
Washington State tangle. California
bas a wonder team. The playing of
the Cougars was somewhat disap
pointing locally, not so much because
of the way the boys played, but be
cause they did not win the game. They
fought hard enough but lacked the
driving punch.
Kldon Jenne's punting was of any
thing but championship form, while
Nlsbet's boots were nearly all good.
Although a complete check has not
been made on the attendance and re
ceipts, approximately 12,000 persons
filed through the gates, paying
117,000.
-
Oregon and Washington were idle
Saturday. The majority of the play
ers of both teams witnessed the California-Washington
State game. Ore
gon meets the Cougars at Pullman
next Saturday while Washington will
play Stanford at Seattle. California
Journeys home for a clash with the
University of Southern California at
Berkeley. .
The result of the California-Southern
California game will be watched
with Interest. Southern California
walloped Pomona college, 35 to 7, last
(Saturday. This score means little.
Pomona may have a strong club and
then again it may not. And the still
greater supposition is that Coach
Henderson did not uncover every
thing that he had, as there were prob
ably plenty of California scouts that
took in the game.
.
The University of Idaho traveled
all the way to Salt Lake City to take
a 17 to 7 drubbing at the hands of
Utah. Th'e Mormons must have quite
an aggregation of pigskin chasers, for
Idaho is no set-up.
While Stanford was upsetting the
dope on tha coast. Center college of
Danville, Ky., was knocking the
bucket over In the east. Center
emothered Harvard g to 0 In a game
that will long be remembered by the
crimson hosts. Last year Harvard in
vited the Blue Grass warriors to visit
Cambridge and then beat them. This
year Harvard again issued an invita
tion to tho Center machine, and now
likely regrets it. Center presented
k well-oiled machine, every cog in
working order. Center met every
crimson attack and battered away
from quarter to quarter, refusing to
give way to the power of the name
f the "big three."
Leave It to Dobie. Cornell scored
with a vengeance against Dartmouth
Saturday. Final, Cornell 59, Dart
mouth 7. After a year of give and
take at Ithaca Doble has rounded out
an eleven that figures to defeat any
team In the country. Colgate and
Dartmouth are the only two tough
teams that Cornell has tackled up to
date, but beat them by such one
sided scores that It does not seem
possible to slow them up.
The Cornell record to date follows:
Cornell 41 St. Bonaventure. . . 0
Cornell r' Rochester 0

Beidek's machine continued Its on
rushing attack, defeating Georgia
Tech 28 to 7. The Golden Tornado
is no more. It might still be one in
Georgia but not against a team of
Penn State's caliber.- Penn State
meets Carnegie Tech next Saturday,
the Navy the following week, and
winds up the eastern Intercollegiate
season against Pittsburg.
Speaking of Pittsburg, the smoky
city university team crashed! through
for a 28 to 0 victory over the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Pitt Is put
ting up a determined fight this year
and may yet land on top of the heap.
The Lafayette team, which was the
only eleven to defeat Pittsburg this
year, must be considered when It
comes to picking the front rank teams
of the east. Lafayette beat Rutgers
36 to 0 Saturday and should defeat
Penn next Saturday.
Tal U fighting Its way to I
the fore after several seasons of more
or less dormant existence. The Bull
Dogs trimmed Brown 47 to 7, before
SO, 000 persons, Saturday, which was
one of the most impressive wins of
the season to date. Yale- plays Mary
land at New Haven next Saturday.
Princeton recovered from Its defeat
at the hands of Chicago and came
Dack with a 34 to 0 victory over Vir
ginia. West Virginia, the real tough
team, was defeated, losing to Lehigh
21 to 14.
Iowa. Wisconsin and Nebraska, con
tenders for Big Ten honors won their
games Saturday. Iowa met with
plenty of stubborn resistance from
Bill DIetz's Purdue team, but won
out 13 to 6. Wisconsin defeated Min
nesota, 35 to 0, while Nebraska won
from Oklahoma, 44 to 0.
The big- thrill In the Big Ten was
the Michigan-Illinois game, Yost's
squad defeating mini, 3 to 0.
COACH BAGSHAW INTENDING
VEXGEAXCE OX STANFORD.
Cardinal Rooters In Seattle Organ
Ize In Preparation for Sat
urday's Game.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 30. Spe
clalj Stanford university will meet
the Sun-Dodgers on the stadium field
next Saturday afternoon as a feature
of the "Stadium day" programme.
Gridiron relations between the Car
dinals and th Sun Dodgers were
opened here for the first time last
fall when the southerners reduced the
Washlngtonians to submission by
winning, 3-0.
The advance seat sale for the Stan
ford battle Is on and Graduate Man
ager Meisnest looks for a record at
tendance. The local body of Stan
ford alumni are arranging for a spe
cial section from which to conduct the
Cardinal rooting. The showing made
last year by the Stanfordites at Denny
field, when they gave the Washing
ton students a glimpse of the Car
dinal rooting system created a sen
sation on the Washington campus.
Stanford Is known to have a strong
eleven this fall, with a squad of 85
men working out under head Coach
Van Gent. With exception of the an
nual California game, the Washington
meeting Is regarded at Palo Alto as
the "big" contest of the Cardinal sea
son. Stunts are being prepared by the
Knights of the Hook and the stadium
day committee to feature next Satur
day's programme. The university stu
dents will spend the entire day in the
stadium. Work on the big horseshoe
will be done In the morning.
Lunch will be served at noon and
class rivalries will be settled just
prior to the football game.
One of the programme features will
be the burning of $30,000 worth of
stadium bonds which have been paid
for. A dance will be held at night in
honor of the visiting Stanford team.
With a two weeks' Interval between
the O. A. C. game at Corvallis and the
Stanford contest. Coach Bagshaw has
been driving his men through their
practice feats in a determined effort
to put an eleven on the field next
Saturday that will avenge last sea
son's defeat.
MONTANA STATE IS BEATEN
Gonzaga University Eleven Is Vic
tor by Score of 7 to 2.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Oct. 30. Gonzaga
university defeated Montana State col
lege by a score of 7 to 2 in a hard
fought game here Saturday afternoon.
Montana State made its score as the
result of a safety.
Gonzaga displayed a great deal of
power in the first half, but several
times lacked the punch to convert
yardage gains into touchdowns, and
scored only in the second quarter on
an end run by Lower. Montana State
came back strong in the second half,
but its offensive was not consistent.
Both teams intercepted forward passes
constantly. Gonzaga used three quar
terbacks, Eddy, Sweeney and Hodges,
in an effort to strengthen their of
fensive. The safety resulted when
Hodges fumbled a punt and recovered
behind his own goal.
Flight of Ducks Studied.
SPOKAiNlE, Wash.. Oct 30. Inland
Empire duck hunters have been
asked to watch for wing and leg
bands on ducks shot this fall. Five
hundred ducks have been released In
Saskatchewan each bearing a tag
this year with a view to determining
what routes the ducks take on their
annual migrations to the sunny
south. The flight is not expected to
begin until after the first heavy
frosts in the north. Hunters are re
quested to send the tags to St. Paul,
Minn., to an address given on each
tag, with a statement of the place
and condition under which the ducks
were killed.
COLUMBIA'S CLIMB
Salem High School Is Third
Victim, 28 to 7.
SCHULMERICH BIG STAR
Three of Four Touchdowns Made
and Four Goals Kicked In
Game Saturday at Capital.
With the Independent high school
championship of Oregon its goal, Co
lumbia university made the Salem
high Its third victim, defeating the
capital city lads, 28 to 7, on Swe-tland
field, Salem. Saturday afternoon. Co
lumbia scored in each quarter.
Schulmerlch made three of the four
Columbia touchdowns and kicked
four goals. He figured also In the
last score as It was his 40-yard pass
to Dwver who ran 20 yards for a
touchdown that gave Columbia its
final points. Schulmerich passed
well, frequently tore off yardage, and
was easily the best man on defense
for either team.
Of the 15 attempted passes Colum
bia completed 10 for a total of 275
yards. Johnson for the winners made
a 60-yard criss-cross run and com
pleted a forward pass good lor 4U
yards.
Salem s sole toucnaown resuixea
from a short pass. Brown to Post,
who carried the ball 40 yards through
a broken field. This was the only
time the Salem eleven made yardage.
Against high school elevens the
least Columbia has scored was 25
points. That was against St. Helens
high, whom theyi defeated, 26 to 14.
They beat Camas, Wash., high, 28 to 0.
Coach CliDDer Smith, ex-Notre Dame
star, uses the same system of play
for Columbia as is used by Notre
Dame. It has resulted in Columbia
having a well-developed attacking
machine.
Coach Smith has his men in tip-top
shape for the Everett game Friday.
Everett has been piling up large
scores and ought to have little trou
ble winning the interscholastlc title
of Washington tor the tentn consec
utive time. As Everett is the 1920
national interscholastlc champion, a
win for the local eleven will put It
In lino for the national title.
Hill military academy will Play Me-
Mlnnville high school at McMlnnville
Thanksgiving day. Hill had several
offers for a game on that day.
The game with Baker 'high on
Armistice day bas about fallen
through. According to Baker's man
ager, to bring Hill to Baker would
Incur a greater expense tnan tne
eastern school Is able to meet. If the
game does not go through, the acad
emy would like to arrange an Armi
stice day game with some outside
eleven with an understanding that
next year it will be brought to Port
land for a return.
PAfdonil hat nAv.r had sin manv
high school elevens visiting here as
thW year. This is attributed in a
large degree to the dropping of both
Hill and Columbia from the old inter
scholastlc league.

Sport Gaining Popularity by Leaps
and Bounds.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30. A retrospect of
the most stirring grass court season
In the history of tennis brings to
attention many interesting facts upon
which to base conclusions or proph
ecies. Outstanding, however, was the
supremacy of the American game,
and. Individually, of William T. Til
den. That the sport is gaining popular
favor by leaps and bounds is a cer
tainty In three days at Forest Hills the
THE DAYS OF
Davis cup challenge ronnd attend
ance touched 35,000 in a week; at
Longwood, 20,000; In eight days at
Philadelphia, 75.000, while the wom
en's national championship, of com
paratively little interest in the past,
drew at least 15,000.
Apparently the international trophy
is safe for America for several sea
sons, if it can count on two or three
of its veteran stars William T. Til
den, William M. Johnston, R. N orris
Williams, Watson M. Washburn and
Wallace F. Johnston and such
youthful tennis marvels as Vincent
Richards. Yet America cannot afford
tc rest long on its laurels.
Australia sent a squad of so-called
second-string players here this sea
son who impressed critics with their
possibilities. One of them, J. O. An
derson, advanced to the semi-final
round of the national championship,
defeating R. Norris Williams, among
others, and he has not reached the
pinnacle of his game yet. as he
showed when he defeated Tilden in
the east-west tourney at Chicago.
SIRES OUTCLASS PROGENY
"LIKE FATHER LIKE SOX" XOT
SO IX ATHLETIC WORLD.
Many Children Have Tried to Em
ulate Champion Parents but
All So Far Have Failed.
"Like father, like son," has not been
the case with competitive athletes.
There have been many stars in all
lines, but never have the sons of
these champions shone.
Many1 sons and daughters, too
have tried to emulate their parents,
but their ability has never shown In
the same class. In other words, ath
letio prowess is not hereditary. The
progeny of stars of the diamond, the
track, the swimming pools, the golf
links, the tennis courts and what not
have yet to prove to the world they
are as great as their sires.
The nearest approach to this son
father greatness is the ease of Bernle
Wefars Jr., the sprinter of the New
Tork Athletic club. Bernle Wefers
Sr. was the first man to run the 220
lr 21:1, which record stood until
Charlie Paddock came along. Bernle
Jr. Is now Just about In his prime
and his dad is doing all he cam to
have Bernle Jr. regain the lost pres
tige. It does not look as though the
boy can do it.
Ty Cobb has a couple of fine boys
who win try to outdo the "Georgia
Peach." Willi Hoppe, the billiard
player, has a son whom he intends
to groom for a champion.
In the tennis world Miss May Sut
ton, now Mrs. Tom Bundy, whose hus
band was an American Davis cup
member both ex-national champions
have sons and daughters who will
be taught tennis. Just whether the
Sutiton-Bundy children will hoodwink
precedent remains to be seen.

STIGMA GIFT OF CENTER

Back by 6-to-0 Score.
NEW TORK. Oct. 30. Under the
stigma of defeat for the first time
since 1916, Harvard's gridiron clan to
day was looking with anxiety toward
its game with Princeton Saturday. Be
fore the Center college eleven of Dan
ville, Ky., one of the smallest colleges
in the south. Harvard went down to a

CARDS, BEAKS UXDEFEATED
Game Between Two Nov. 19 May
Settle Coast Championship. .
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30. Stan
ford and California, the southern
members of the Pacific coast confer
ence, today are the only two mem
bers of the organization standing un
defeated In this year's football race,
and it is believed the annual "big
game" November 19 between these
two ancient foes will determine the
championship.
Until yesterday it was thought the
championship would lie between Cal
ifornia and the Oregon Aggies, but
Stanford upset all predictions by de
feating the Oregonlans. The Stan
ford win and California's victory over
Washington State practically elimi
nated the . four northern memoers
from the conference race,- for Cali
fornia previously defeated Oregon,
and the Aggies one week ago won
from Washington. The California
teams both meet Washington in the
near future, but both expect to win,
for the Sundodger eleven is still in
the making and is not rated strong
this year.
History Is repeating Itself this
year, for In 1920 the two southern
elevens eliminated the northerners
and went Into their annual struggle
to fight for the conference champion
ship. Last year California won, and
at this stage it Is thought the Bears
have the advantage. However, Stan
ford Is known for upsetting things
and the Cardinal team is very anxious
to dedicate with a victory the new
Stanford stadium which is to be used
for the first time In the game on
the 19th.
Another bit of history was repeated
yesterday when Stanford turned and
fought back successfully at the pow
erful Aggies, who were the favorites
before the game. Last year another
northern team, representing the Uni
versity of Oregon, came down expect
ing to win from Stanford, for In Its
line-up were Bill Steers and several
other noted stars. The Cardinals
were picked to lose but, like yester
day, they displayed unexpected
strength and sent the Oregonlans
back to Eugene defeated.
WESTERN RACE NARROWED
Four Contenders for Football
Championship in Conference.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30. With the west
ern conference football season half-
way ended, four elevens are swinging
into the championship-deciding strug
gle with even chances of closing In
first place. Wisconsin, Ohio State,
Chicago and Iowa are undefeated.
Saturday's ' games were rather col
orless. Wisconsin's 35-to-0 victory
over Minnesota being perhaps a little
more one-sided than had been pre
dicted and Michigan's 3-to-0 margin
over Illinois a little closer than some
had expected. None of the games had
any effect on the championship race
other than to strengthen the convic
tion that the fight will prove close.
One of the most Important games of (
the season will come next Saturday
here at Stagg field when Ohio State
and Chicago mix. Ohio rested Satur
day, while Chicago needed only sub
stitutes to overwhelm Colorado 35 to 0.

STONE M1I1S HIS LOSS
CROWN LIFTED BY SLR GOD
FREY AT SYDXEY.
Victor Once an Amateur Who
Won Distinction Delicate
Looks Against Him.
Harry Stone, the New Tork Ghetto
boy, who has held the. Australian
lightweight championship for the
past five or six years, on and off, is
bemoaning the loss of his crown. At
the Sydney Stadium recently Sid God
frey, the ex-feather-welght cham
pion, met and signally defeated the
champion. Godfrey has had a remark
able career.
As an amateur he won distinction
and later won a professional tour
ney. Then he took the game up se
riously, but his pale face, anemic
looks and delicate frarhe and some
what loose style did not appeal to
fans, and Sid was shelved mostly as
"no draw."
Despite this he usually managed to
knock the most promising fellows out
when he did get a fight. Sick of
waiting, he went to the Philippine
islands, and he took part in a couple
of contests there. He fought a draw
with a lad who was considered "all
in." and then met the triple cham
pion, Denclo Cabanela. Denclo put
paid to Sid's account In about 30 'sec
ends, knocking him stlffer than a
barber's pole In the first round.
Sid then went back to Australia
sadder and wiser and little richer
than when he came away. He was
approached by a Stadium official re
garding fighting a preliminary boy
who had done well while Godfrey was
out of the country, but Sid declined,
saying that he was through with the
game, as there was nothing in it.
- For some months he stuck to his
trade, that of a blacksmith, appear
ing to second a pupil or two once in a
while. At last he was prevailed upon
to box the boy previously mentioned,
and to everyone's astonishment they
drew a capacity house. Godfrey got
the biggest purse he ever received for
one contest out of this fight, and
finished his man off in about three
rounds.
nUNTERS OFFER REWARD
Wounding or Killing of Farmers'
Livestock to Be Punished.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Oct. 30. The
first step in a determined effort to
bring hunters and Spokane county
farmers nearer an understanding
with regard to "No Hunting" signs
was taken by the Spokane County
Sportsmen's association recently,
when a resolution was passed offering
a reward of Si 00 for the arrest and
conviction of any hunter who shoots,
wounds or kills farmers' livestock.
The sportsmen believe that If the
farmers understand that an organi
zation is making an effort to protect
their interests it will be possible to
shoot over many acres which are
now posted. Each member of the
association has taken a pledge not
to shoot on land without first get
ting the permission of the owner.

Rogue Steelheads Game.
GRANTS PASS, Or, Oct. SO. (Spe
cial.) The fighting qualities of the
Rogue river steelhead are attested to
by Joe Wharton, local sporting store
man. who recently took one hour and
33 minutes to land a 10 -pound

HUCCINS MISJ. US PILOT
CRITICISM FOR NOT WINNING
WORLD TITLE ANSWERED.
Increased Attendance) at American
League Games Is Pointed
Out as Indicator.
BY GEORGE CHAD WICK.
(Copyrhrht. 1021. br The Oreonlan.)
NEW YORK. Oct. 30. (Special.)
Miller Huggins, manager of the New
Tork American leeague club, although
he was unable to win the world's ser
ies from the Giants, was successful in
bringing the first American league
championship to New York. That
brings up some inside history which
was recalled to the recollection of an
ex-offlclal of the National league,
when he saw In print today that Hug
gins had been criticised tor not win
ning the world's series.
"It seems strange to me," the ex-
official said, "that they cannot let that
man alone. He Is one of the most
competent managers in baseball, to
my mind, and I tell you the National
league raved when It found he had
been lost, to the American league."
According to the story of this base
ball man, news of Huggins' transfer
from the National to the American
league was received in the older or
ganization with a lot of derogatory
criticism for anybody, no matter who
it may have been, who was responsible
for the transfer of Huggins to the
rival organization.
It is stated that some of them went
to the head of the league and com
plained, yet the head of the league
had no more to do with It than the
club owners, nor so much, for If the
club owners had been smart they must
have asked permission to deal with
Huggins.
One club In particular did not like
it. That club happened to be the New
York National league club which
feared that Huggins might some day
be a managerial rival who would
make trouble. There were many
opinions spilled that Huggins must
become so valuable to the American
league that the prestige of the Giants
must be seriously threatened. That
talk was not shouted from a bench In
Bryant park but plenty of it could be
heard.
Nobody did anything to prevent
Huggins from changing allegiance.
There was supposed to be enough
cash among the National league own
ers to prevent such a thing from
happening. The trouble was that too
few In the National league were aware
of the ability possessed by the little
man who has Just won his first cham
pionship. Whether Huggins has taken
away any of the prestige of the Giants
is a question. It is certain that he
has built up a championship club. He
has attracted thousands of spectators
to see his team who never went to
American league games before. True
there Is Babe Kuth to be taken Into
consideration and due credit is being
given him, but if Ruth could be held
to playing winning ball for the New
York club, Huggins had played his
part of the game right.
Not once during the world's series
or afterward did Huggins offer the
slightest alibi as to why his club did
not win. If It failed, all he would
say was that his players would be
back the next day, doing their best,
and they were.
Huggins didn't criticise the umpires
and pave the way for an alibi In case
of defeat, nor did he hold any player
of his team responsible In public print
for anything that did not go to suit
htm.
His course made a lot of friends
for him and his club. Huggins has a
following because he has marched
quietly along, doing his best, and his
efforts have been accepted by those
who don't see any sense In blowing
everybody off the map every two or
three weeks.
That the Yankees failed to win was
not so much due to shortcomings on
the part of their pitchers as to bad
fielding in the two games which de
cided the series. Defeats of that kind
do not lay responsibility on the man
ager for Incorrect use of his pitchers.
There are many who think Huggins
used his pitchers as well as could be
expected in view of the fact that he
had only two on which be could de
pend. However, the fact remains that
Huggins, whose loss to the National
league was so deplored, has been suc
cessful and has increased attendance
at the games by the thousands. If the
National league feared Huggins would
prove a thorn in its flesh, they were
right for he has proved that a New
York American league club can draw
even more spectators than a National
league club.
