7 FOOTBALL SEASON IS NEAR AT HAND Cpaches Are Arriving at Colleges and Players Are Beginning Training. THE SUNDAY GREGORIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 17, 1905. FDQTBRLL MEN GIRD ON ARMOR College Athletes Are Training for a Season of Brisk Sport. SOACHES BEGIN PRACTICE Multnomah Field Will Soon Be the Scene of Activity Captain . Jordan Calls Practice for Today. . rOOTBALT. SEASON NEAR AT HAND. The football season Is soon to open. Players are arriving at the colleges of tho Northwest, managers are an novaclng ecfcrdulrs of gomes and ooachors are commencing to train tfcetr oharges. With the advent of B&Morn football men at many of the Western ooMtfres. the game Is being jHit on a scientific basis and the latest Methods In the sport are bejngr scooted. The outlook Is good far a season of brisk, Well-contested games. The football season and the days when the gridiron heroes will occupy the at tention of the outdoor sport-loving public are rapidly approaching, and the Multno mah Add will shortly be the scene of greatest activity. The local club has practically completed Its schedule for tho coming season, and according to present plans only one game will be played away from home, -which Is the contest sched uled with the Seattle Athletic Club at Soattlc on December 16. The return match with Seattle will be played in Portland on New Year's day. The schedule so far ar ranged by Manager Frank Watklns, who po successfully conducted the destinies of the team during the past season, includes six games, and the probable arrangement of three more, making a total of nine games during the season, as against 12 played last year. The shortening of the playing sea?on will be of material bene fit to the team, for a lengthy season is extromely trying on the players, and the curtailing of the length of play will be heartily appreciated by them. .Loses Several Good Men. Although the Multnomah Club eleven will lose the services of several of last year's cracks, it nevertheless presents a strong line-up, and will be able to give a good account of its men during the com ing struggle for honors on the grid. Among last season's celebrities who will be missing whon the whistle blows are Ross, Seeley, Horan, Stow and Murphy, although it Is possible that the last two may play during the holidays. Consid erable satisfaction ie shown in club cir cles over tho fact that Frank Lonergan will again don the spangles and play one of the halfback positions. All the club members remember the work of this player, who, with tho addition of Mart Pratt in the second half of the O. A. C. game last year, undoubtedly saved the day for Multnomah, and the fact that both these battle-scarred heroos are again to line up with the winged "M" is a source of groat joy to the local enthu siasts. Ability of Breed. Manager Watkins has great hopes in the ability of Breed, the club's new fullback, who Is said to be a playor of great prow os. The recent illness of Marlon Dolph will likely preclude his participation in any of the contests this season, and Breed Is depended upon to fill this capa-' ble player's shoes. Dolph is one of tho best men Multnomah ever had, and It is essential that a good man be secured in his place. This seems to have been ac complished by tho acquisition of Breed, who is spoken of very highly by those who have seen him in action. Another playor who has earned a repu tation on the grid is Butler, who Is slated for one of the positions in the line. Ho is a large man and Is said to be aggressive to a. great degree. Several members of last season's second eleven are out for places on the first team this season, and some of them promise to makq the team with oase. Among these arc Arthur See ley. a younger brother of Jeff Seeley, of last year's cloven, who aspires to one of the guards; Hardee, Austin, Foley and Sersanous. Griffith and Reupert are two more new men, who are rated as flrst- cte on the. gridiron, and likely to be regular members of the eleven during the season. Coach Bishop Too. Chancey Bishop, the coach and former Columbia University (N. Y.) player. Is another man who will prove a tower of strength to the club. Lieutenant Gregg, of the Fourteenth Infantry. U. S. A., is another possibility who will aid ' in strengthening the Multnomahs, for he was a. star halfback In his "prep." days, and Is still capable of playing the college game. Captain Dave Jordan has called the flrst practice of the team for this morn lag, whon the full strength of the club is expected to participate. The work this morning will be light and consist mostly of limbering up, and instruction In signal practice. The workouts will be gradually lncroascd as the season approaches, and the raon become hardened to the exercise. Team for the Season. The team for the season will be made up from tho following aspirants: Sods Jordan (captain), Dowllng. Mon tague. Hardee, Griffith, Foley, Reupert and Sorsanous. Guards Butler, James, Wiihelm ana Griffth, Pratt, Saunders and Arthur Seeley. Quarterbacks Kerrigan, Foley, Walker, Rouport and Stockton. Halfbacks Lonergan, Gregg, Baker, Bishop and Saunders. Fullback Breed, Austin and Dolph. Centers Kollor. Dow, "Walker and Wil klns. Shorts, of Oregon. ' EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 16. (Special.) Bruce Shorts, the coach of the University of Oregon for this season of 1903, grad uated from the University of Michigan in 1?M. He played tackle on the Michigan team for three years and was captain lcct for the season of 1901. Owing to sickness he did not return to Michigan and finish his fourth year on the team, but went to Seattle, where he was an Instructor In the Seattle High School. He also coached the High School football team which won the interscholastlc championship of the Northwest. Last Fall he coached the University of Ne vada and from an extremely limited Amount of material he turned out a team that held Stanford down to 17 and Berk eley to 16 points. .-HI Men Who Will Coach the Football Teams Bishop, of Willamette. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 16. (Special.) Coach Chauncey Bishop, of Willamotte, Is & man who gained a National reputation by his winning the punting contest while play ing end at Columbia University, New York, in 1903. He began his football ca reer at Willamette in 1S8. Tho following year he played with the Salem Giants, who won the championship of the North west that year. In 3991 he coached the Chomawa cloven, and in 1092 played half back with the Multnomahs. In 1B&B he wont to Columbia and was given the po sition of end, and did the punting for the team. In 1904 he coached the Willamette team, and- served so acceptably that the school secured him for another year. Steckle, of Corvallis. CORVALLIS, Sept. 1G. (Special) Dr. Al lan C. Steckle, head coach of the Ore gon Agricultural Collogo football team. Is a University of Michigan man. He be gan his football career at Olivette Col lege, Mich., where hn played four years) generally in tho tackle position. After graduation there, he went to Michigan in 1837. He took a position at once as tackle, playing for years In the position. In 1889 he was captain of the team, and as such was the principal coach. He left Michigan in 1901, and has since been en gaged In the practice of medicine, when noj. engaged in coaching. Dr. Steckle Is one of the most amiable of men, and Is widely popular wherever known. He Is always the Idol of the men under him. which Is one of the secrets of the work he gets out of them. He Is an original PROSPECT FOR CARDINAL NOT PARTICULARLY BRIGHT. Games Which Wrlll Be Played Tills Season, With Dates and Places Scheduled. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Sept. la special.) Football practice began last Monday, September 11. and has now been under way for a week. The preliminary training, under tho watchful eyes of Trainer Moulton and Coaches Lanagan and Bansbach, is already beginning to show Its effects. The boys are gradually toughening as the work becomes more strenuous and are -beginning to regain their agility and old-time cleverness. Football training under the blazing Santa Clara sun Is always necessarily slow and careful to prevent stateness, and accord ingly the coaches have made this first work very light. Practice each afternoon Is preceded by exercises with dumb bells, led by gymnasium Instructors, to loosen up all the muscles. - After this tho kickers arc put to work and the backs and ends kept busy bucklng,wlth the Idea of simply developing- form In holding and charging Everybody, too. Is given oppor tunity to handle the ball, to acquire skill in catching and carrying the cluslvo pig skin. Such has been the preliminary work, but from now on practice will become rougher The same system will be kept up next week, with the addition of the rougher work of falling on the ball and tackling the dummies. Squads will also soon be talked off and the preliminary drill of Instilling teamwork commenced. The freshman material, under Coach Bansbach. will necessarily progress fast, er than, the varsity because of the near ness of their big game with Berkeley in October. After this game the good men from this team will be placed with the varsity candidates and given a chance to make good there. The Cardinal's football prospects this year cannot be said to be particularly blight, but they are at least now much better than they were before practice started. When all but three of last year's -eterans. Including Captain-elect Sprott. failed to return, the spirits of the Cardinal supporters went to a low ebb, but since the first afternoon of practlcej things have begun to look better, the'reason for this being the presence of an unusually large and heavy squad of candidates. There are now 125 men trying for positions on cither of the two teams, some 60 being particu lar candidates for' the freshman team". Of the old material many have played before on. class or second teams, and of the hew many are heavy boys, with ex cellent records from preparatory schools. The material Is good as far as quantity and weight are concerned, but compara tively inexperienced, and almost every thing now depends on the coaches. At present but three old men are on the field, and these will form the nucleus for a practically new team. In the back field will bo the well-known Portland! boys, Chalmers and Stott, tho former raoranr leading uie team as captain, the I . " 7- j, C&542 thinker in football matters, and. his plays are made or changed to fit the man who leads them, which Is perhaps another ele ment in his very successful coaching. His principal characteristic as a coach is the lightning offense that he always develops, which the best of teams find it diiiicult to stop. Cults, of Washington. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se attle, Sept. 16. (Special) Tho football ca reer of Coach Cutts, of the University of Washington, has been long and varied. For 12 years he has been an active cxpo ' nent of the great college game. Away back in ' he played his first gridiron game with the eleven of Bates College in Maine. He was then a freshman. Be oause of a broken leg he was unable to play during his sophomore year, but .Jn his senior year he broke .back into the game again with greater success ' than latter actually directing the plays as field captain from his position at quarterback. An entirely new .line, with one exception, must be developed. R. A. Thompson, at right guard, being the only veteran back for play. Following is the complete schedulo o'f games: . . St. Vincent's College, of Los Angeles, September 2S; Willamette University, of Salom. Or., September 30; University of Oregon. October 7; Freshman Intercolle giate, on Berkeley Field, October 14; Unl- VerSitV Of NfiVaAl notftVlAf ! ISliarmnn Indians, at Los Angeles, October 2S; Uni versity oi southern California, November 4; Unlvorslt' of California, on Stanfnni Flold, November 11. The freshman team will play a game each week, beginning the 20th of this month, with high schools around the bay as preliminary matches to their final con test. ONLY A FEW VETERANS LEFT FOR LINE-UP. Seventy Candidates Will Report for Practice Monday, Among Them ' Promising Players. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se attle, Sapt. 16. (SpeclaL) Monday football practice begins on the campus. The pre season practice that was contemplated failed to materialize, although for the past few days several players have been out, going through light preliminary work. A number of old players aro back on the campus, ready for the opening of tho training season Monday. Among these veterans of the game are Captain McDon ald, Homer Tllley. Dan Pullen, EL O. Crlm. "Dode" Brlnker, George Brackett and Enoch Bagshaw. In addition to these men and a number of others who were mainstays on last year's. splendid second eleven, four new candidates from the Seattle High School will be out on the gridiron when the ini tial scrimmage begins. These men have been playing football for four years, and are recognized by critics all over the state as natural football players of unusual ability. Dowd. as a fast, gritty end: Pal mer, as a hardplaying,' plunging fullback, and Ross and Jarvls as heavy linemen, constitute a quartet that will add materi ally to the strength of this year's 'var sity. Besides, two or three Eastern play ers of reputation will register tomorrow. Dr. Roller says .that one of these men is a veritable whirlwind whoa In action, and that lie expects great things from him on the gridiron this Fall. Four of last year's strongest players will not return to college, namely: Frank" Babcoek, Rails back. Jay Sigworth and Mc Elmon. Others whose return is dubious are: Shaw. Dean and Clark. Shoudy, who played a good game against Califor nia last Thanksgiving, has gone to Penn sylvania, where he will study medicine. Tibbals..Ormund and Christie may not re turn until late. When this large number of absentees Is considered. It Is een that Washington ever. For four years thereafter Coach Cutts taught mathematics In the Haver ford College Grammar School, coaching the boys in football, baseball and track. In 1500 ho entered Harvard University, but. because of the rule maintaining there against a freshman's participation in foot ball, he had to wait until his second year before donning the moleskins. He played with Harvard one year, "01, in tho posi tion of right tackle. After leaving Harvard he returned to his alma mater. Bates College, where he coached the eleven while In the law school. In '03 he went to Purdue Univer sity at Lafayette. Ind.. and was couch at the time of the terrible railroad accident when 17 players wore killed. Mr. Cutts was In the coach at the time of the awful crash, when men on all sidos were killed, but escaped' with only a sprained ankle and a few minor bruises. In the follow ing year. '04. he coached tha Purdue team a second time. Last May he came lo Se attle and was unanimously chosen by the board of control at the university to be Washington's- coach for this year. Coach Cutts is now practicing law In this city. Sweeley, of Pullman. PULLMAN. Wash.. ScpL 16. (Sne ciai.) Coach E. M. Sweeley played end on the famous "Yost machine" team, of Michigan, for four years. He did placos her hopes not so much on having a veteran team, ftr that seems impossi ble, but rather on the large number of promising candidates' that are showing up to roplace them. Coach Cutts hopes to have 70 men turn ing out for practice during this week. Suits, Jerseys, shoes and other parapher nalia for that number have been provided. A tackling bag has been fitted up and a training table established for the purpose of regulating the diet of the players, who will constantly be under the surveillance of the coach and Dr.. Roller. The gridiron on fbo, campus, which is naturally grav elly and rough, has been plowed, leveled and cleared of small' stones during the past week. AH preparations have been made for the opening tomorrow, and the appliances and equipment are better than those ever provided before in the history of tho university. The schedule for this Fall Is the beat ever formulated at the University of Washington. It contains a number of hard games, and, because of the fact that six games will be played here, at home, should be financially profitable. This is the complete schedule: Whitworth College. October 7, Seattle. Whitman College. October 11, Seattle. Montana Agricultural College, October 21, Seattle. University "of Idaho, October 3, Spo kane. Washington Agricultural College. No vember 2.

"TS'EW INSTRUCTOR AT PACIFIC Howard H. 3rarkel Will Have Charge of Athletics. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove; Or., Sept. 16. (Special.) The prospect now Is that not as much attention will bo given to- football this season as usual. Although the Fall term opens next Wednesday very little preliminary work lias been done preparatory to organizing a football team and no coach has been engaged as yet. It may be possible that no regular coach will be engaged, but that will not be decided until the term opens. The college faculty is taking a more ac tive interest than usual in the manage ment of athletics in the college. Howard H. Mark el has been secured as physical director to take charge of gymnasium and athletic work the coming year. Ho has had several years of successful ex perience as physical director In connec tion with the x. M. C A. at Portland and Salem. It is Intended to introduces gymnasium work among the students in a more srstematic way than heretofore. Pacific University will aim to give all its students athletic drill Instead of allowing the football squad to absorb all the ath letic activity and benefit during the Fall term. Ir. Markel. In addition to being proficient In all forms of athletics. Is an expert football man and may look after the training of the team If a regular coach Is not engaged. SPECIAL EXCURSION SAXES.

Sweeley was one of the most noted players in the game during his four years' service- at the University of Michigan- From Michi gan Sweeley went to coach a- colleere ream at Mornincslde College. Iowa. He left Iowa last year to coach tho eleven at the State College. He made a great success at Pullman last Fall, and "Is billed to land the championship honors of the season of 1905. Griffith, of Idaho. . MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 16. (Special.) J. G. Griffith, who for the past two years has occupied the position of coach with the Idaho team, will this year again bo found in his former posi tion. Griffith Is a graduate of the Iowa University, and during the yoars 1S99-190O was captain . of the Iowa team. At this time It was the cham pion team In the Middle States, and perhaps the fastest team that the Mid dle West ever saw In action. After his graduation, ho went to Simpson College and coached for the period of a year, and had his team defeated only once during the entire season. Aftec that he came West and has occupied the position as coach with tho Idaho STRONG TEAM FOB IDAHO CAPTAIN MIDDLETOX SAYS PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT. Veterans of.Last Year Are Returning and New Material Is Arriving fpr Practice. MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 15. (Special.) "Tho prospects and general outlook for a good, strong football team for the Uni versity of Idaho for 'the coming season were never brighter nor better In the history of the Institution." said Captain J. H. Middleton, the famous ball pitcher and the star quarterback player of the Idaho team. Continuing he said: "Most of the old football veterans are with us again this season, and we also possess some new material that Is very' promising. Practice has been taken up at the cam pus grounds, and will begin In good, hard earnest under the direction of Coach Griffith upon his return from the East the first of the week. Among the old players that have returned there Is Snow, the center, who will undoubtedly capture Jus old position. Snow Is a tower of strength to. the team, and has for the past two years been classed with the best players of the Northwest. "Sheridan Is out again for left guard. Jle has probably never found his equal for that position In any of tho' games that the team has ever played. His posi tion, it Is said, will be hotly contested by a man from Boise, but his old friends believe that he will make good. Fogle, who last year defended the place of left uard. Is out of tho game this year by reason of Injuries sustained in the mines this past Summer, and Into this position will probably step Teddy Rosevelt, the former star of the Stanford team. Rogers and Larson, both men of experience and fully ablo to perform their part In the game, will appear as tackles. Both Thomas and McGce, of last year's team, also Armstrong- and Oakes of the team or 1903. are after the ends. All four can easily star at their positions. It la oron able that two of these men will be drawn back of tho line. Keyes, of last year, 13 ready to' dispute all contestants for full back. His greatest rival at the present seems to be Hortan. one of the best kick ers in the Northwest, a position in which the team in the past has been deficient. "Coach Griffith's brother will be here In a few days, and will make a good man for fullback, or be ready to take the posi tion along with me as quarterback. It is understood that he possesses a splendid record. Smith and Russel, both good men the two halves of last year will not return, and the team will feci their loss. These positions will lie between Thomas, McGee, Armstrong and Oakes. Arm strong Is one of the best. In my opinion the best end that the university has ever produced, and Oakes is crack end .of tho year of 1S03. When questioned as to an article which appeared In a Spokane newspaper to the effect that he and Rosevelt would be apt to be barred on tho grounds of profes sionalism. Captain Middleton said: "I realise that there has. been sane talk la that direction, but In say mlad the uni team since 1902. His coachinjr has been very successful while with Idaho, and he has given the university one of the strongest teams In tha North west. Coach Griffith is now in the East, and is expected to return Friday. Lanagan, of Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.. Sept. 16. (Special.) 'Stanford has unlimited confidence in Coach "Jimmy" Lanagan, and expects him to develop a team that will in every way be a credit to tho university. In his two years service as coach he has already demonstrated his ability in that capacity. It is a pe culiar fact that Lanagan's knowledge of tho game has been secured by-study and observation, rather than by actual experience. He graduated from Stan ford In 1900, but while in college ne,ver played the game, except on a class team. After leaving college, he ac cepted a position as Instructor In Bel mont preparatory school, where he se cured his first experience as coach, as sisting "Billy" Reld to develop elevens from that Institution. From there he was called to Stanford In 1903, and he is now acting both as football and baseball coach under a contract expir ing in 1908. for a remuneration of $3000 fpr the period. His contract also calls for the defrayal each year by the stu dent body of tho expenses of a trip East for the purpose of studying- East ern football methods. Louis P. Bans bach, for four years quarter-baJk on the varsity and captain In 1903, Is Lanngan's assistant coach. Bansbach's work will deal almost entirely with the development of tho freshman team, and he is expected to turn out a strong baby team. In college Jie was always a heady, strong player, and his two years' training under Lanagan and his own winning personality will stand him In good stead in his new capacity. versity has nothing to fear. So far as the university is concerned, she will make It her object and purpose to place Into the field a strong lot of students as well as athletes, and will continue to win her victories as she has done in the past, by taking as timber for her team stu dents who are pursuing a regular course In the school students that have for their object in life something higher, some thing better than athletics when they have -completed their college career." The schedule of games for the season Is as follows: September 30 Lewlston High School. "October 11 Montana Agricultural Col Icro OotoberU Oregon Agricultural College. October 20 University of Oregon. October 27 University of Washington. November 4 University of Mqntana. November 10 Washington State Col lege. November IS Whitman College. November 30 Still open. Probably Mult nomah. All the games, save that of the Oregon Institutions, will be played In Moscow this season. 0. JL G. FOOTBALL DATES ARRANGED WITH OTHER TEAMS. Corvallis Men Will Play Oregon, Willamette, Washington and California This Fall. CORVALLIS, Sept. 16. (Special to The Oregonlan.) The schedule of games to be played by the Oregon Agricultural College football team has not been completed. Dates have been fixed with the University of Oregon at Eugene on the 11th of No vember, with Willamette University at Corvalli3 on the 24th. and with the Uni versity of Washington at Seattle on the 30th. Thanksgiving day. A game with tho University of California is pro grammed for the 21st of October, but a switch of one of Berkeley's California games may change the date to the 2Sth. Negotiations are pending for games at Corvallis with, the Washington State Col lege, with the University- 6f Idaho, and games have been sought of Whitman Col lege. A squad of a dozen men has been at work all the past,week" under the personal supervision of Bn SteckTe. Among them Is A. C SteckTe, who played the past three years on the "team of the- University of Nevada. He fs a cousin of Dr. Steckle, and a player of great power and speed. He Is a valuable addition to the football squad, and will be equally important as an acquisition to the track team next Spring, tit which he has. records of more than 740 feet In the hammer-throw and a proportionate record in the discus. Another eligible Is William Lawrence, who was a member of the Nevada squad two years ago, but who was not In col lege last year. Both are former team mates of Frank FrieselL the University of Oregon track and football man. Still another eligible of high repute Is Sara Dolan, of "Albany, who Joined the squad Saturday. It Is accounted here that Stecklo's coaching will make Dolan tha peer of any player in the Northwest. Wil liam Lansfield. of Amltyt Porterneld. of Independence: Berland, of Wallowa Coun ty; Darby, of Benton, and others are promising new men who have been at work all tho week. Fred C. Stlmson is graduate manager of athletics at the Oregon 'Agricultural Col lege. He entered the institution from Yamhin County four years ago, and was graduated In the pharmacy course last June. He was called to tho manager ship of athletics In the early part of last football season, and so brilliant was his success as manager from every stand point that a new position of graduato manager was created by the Athletla Union, and Mr. Stlmson was called to tho place and given a regular' salary. Mr. Stlmson's report for tho last year shows a handsome balance In the treasury, which is believed to be the only instance of the kind of any Institution In the Northwest. Georgo Herbert Root, captain of the Oregon Agricultural College football eleven, entered college three years ago. and is now in his junior year. He reg istered from Wasco, Sherman County. His ordinary weight is 192 to 197 pounds, and his height five feet 10& Inches. His position is halfback. In which capacity he has the unbounded confidence and admira tion of all O. A. C. students and sympathizers. STYLE OP PLAY OREGON WILL ADOPT THE MICHI GAN METHOD. 'Varsity Squad With Ten Veterana W1D Report to Conch Shorts on September 35. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Sept. 16. (Special.) The coming football season from tho state 'varsity standpoint holds forth brighter prospects than ever before, as Coach Shorts has hopes of de veloping the finest team that ever repre sented old Oregon on the gridiron, from the material now at his disposal. Manager Steiwer also anticipates the best season the state 'varsity eleven ever had in the coming struggle for gridiron honors. According to Manager Steiwer the 'varsity will lose tho services of Cap tain Templeton and Arnsplger, of last season's team, but McKlnney, of the 1903 team, and Frank Friessel are expected to replace them, and other talent of equal promise is available. When the call for candidates for this year's football team is made, no less than ten 'varsity veterans will report for prac tice. Among these may be mentioned V. D. Earl, right guard and tackle for the past three seasons; "Weary" Chandler, Oregon's well-known right end; "Jack" Latourette; quarterback, and captain for 1905; Harry McKlnney, left tackle in 1902 and 1903. and Sath Kerron, Oregon's great ground-gaining fullback. Other veterans who will try for places on this year's eleven are: F. Templeton, right halfback on last year's team; Gordon C. Moore, left end: Carl McClaln, left guard; Wal ter A. Mclntyre, right guard, and George WvHug, center. Besides ; these well-known 'varsity men, all of last year's second team and a fine bunch of freshmen will report to Coach Shorts, when the season opens on September 25. The change from Columbia to Michigan tactics Is also expected to prove of m.--terlal benefit to the1 new eleven, and the arrival of the new coach is eagerly an ticipated by the football squad. Light practice commences on September 25, and will be continued daily until the players have become hardened, when the heavy work will begin. The team will be com posed of fast men and in weight will aver age about 165 pounds. Eugene and Cor vallis will have about the same style of play, both having Michigan coaches. The schedule follows: October 7 Oregon vs. Oregon Alumni -at Eugene. October 12 Oregon vs. Stanford at Palo Alto. October 17 Oregon, vs. California at Berkeley. . October 2S Oregon vs. Chemawa In dians at Eugene. ' November .4 Oregon vs. Willamette at Salem. November IS Oregon vs. Washington at Seattle. November 11 Oregon vs. O. A. C. at Eugene. November 30 Oregon vs. Multnomah at Portland. FOOTBALL SQUAD WORKS UN DER COACH BISHOP. Chester Murphy Is Also Assisting Coaching Sixteen Candidates for Team at Work. SALEM. Or., Sept. 15. (Special.) Wll lamette University's football squad began active practice early this week under the directions of Coach Chauncey Bishop. The men have returned to Salem in splen did condition for work. mos.t of them having spent the Summer at hard, physi cal labor. Many have been working on farms or in mills and their muscles are hard and strong so that they take -easily to the strenuous practice on the fleld. Tralning quarters have been established and the men have been required to ob. sorye rules In their habits of eating. Every morning before breakfast they spend a halt hour or more at running practice and at 10 A. M. they begin an hour's signal practice. At 3:30 they begin regular team-work practice on the field. Sixteen men are here already. This week the team has had the assistance of Ches ter Murphy, the famous Stanford quarter back, who began his football career at Willamette and was the first captain of the Salem team. Murphy will probably be here a week or two, and will give the Salem team what help he can during leisure hours while looking after the har vest of his crop of hops. Among the men who are now here are nearly all of last year's team except Captain Beach, who will not be in school this year. Pollard, who served so well for a number of years In several positions, will play tackle this year, as he did last. Nelson will continue as center, but James, who played last year as guard, will play end this year. Among; the new men who are expected to show up well In the team are Phllbrook, formerly one of Pacific University's strong men, who will play guard; Kellas, recently of Ohio, Wesleyan, who will play tackle, and Coleman, last year of Mount Angel, who Is working for a position as quarterback. In the practice now being had, LounsL bury, Phllbrook and Coleman are all showing up well In punting. The schedule of games, so far as defi nitely arranged, by Manager Mark H. Savage, Is as- follows: Sept. 22 Alumni game, at Salem. - Sept. 30 Stanford, at Palo Alto. Oct. 7 University of California, at Berkeley. Nov. 4 University of- Oregon at Salem. Nor. 11 Multnomah Athletic Club, at Portland. Nov. ISV-Sherman Indians, at S&leaa. Nov-. 30 Chemawa, At galea.
