In all, Oregon carried the ball 300

was Impossible for Washington to
pierce the Oregon line, yardage only
being made once or twice through it
on fake plays. Oregon pierced the
Washington line at will, especially on
the left, side, and ran both ends. The
best feature of the game was the fine
team work -and the precision with
which the formations were launched
by the Oregonians.. Coaches Shorts
and Bishop were Interested spectators
at the game.
Hoot kicked off. and Pullman ran in
to the 20-yard line, and after two
downs, punted. The Oregon men work

touchdown. Abraham carrying the ball
over and Cooper kicked the goal.
Washington kicked off and sent the
ball over the goal line. Rootfree

on a fumble, and by rushes and end
runs worked Root over for a second
touchdown in four and one-half min
utes. Root kicked and Washington ran the
ball in to the 35-yard line, where, af
ter a couple of downs with no gains, a
Pullman man fumbled and Walker
dropped on the ball. Starting at the
85-yara line, the Oregon men pushed
the Washingtonians back until Will
lam was sent over for the third touch
down in four minutes of play. A fea
ture in making the distance was a 15
yard quarter-back Tun by Rinehart
Washington kicked off and Blnehart
advanced the ball to the 30-yard' line
and Dolan carried jt 10 .yards more on
the first formation, and by short gains
the Oregon men worked the ball an
other 12 yards, where they were held
for the second time and forced to punt.
The ball went to the 26-yard line, and
Washington punted back. Rinehart
ran the ball in to the 30-yard line, and

In the second half Washington kick
ed off to Dolan, who ran Jn the ball Jo

25-yard line, and Oregon ran the ball
back to the 40-yard line. Starting
there, Oregon rushed the Washington

second half opened.
A penalization of 15 yards for Ore
gon when on the 30-yafd line and
headed straight for Washington's goal
and what seemed to be a sixth touch
down, gave the Washingtonians new
courage, and they took a wonderful
brace for the rest of the game, during
which the ball surged back- and forth
between the two 35-yard .lines, much
of the play being a punting duel.
At this po!ntof the game Washing
ton made her only yardage, ten pf
which was netted on a fake through
the line in a single formation. Ken
neth Cooper kicked five out of the six
goals. The officials of the game were
Klrkley, of Multnomah, and W. Lair

STANFORD DEFEATS XEVADA
Poor Exhibition of the Game Given
on Both Sides.
STAFFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal., Oct.
2L The Stanford 'Varsity defeated the
lTnlversity of Nevada football team on the
campus oval this afternoon by a score of
21 to 0. Nevada lost the game on fum
oies and weak offensive playing. At no
time was the Stanford goal line In danger
of being crossed by the Nevadans.
While Stanford won be game, her play
id
ing was most disappointing to the
coaches.. The most noticeable weakness
was the extreme slowness in getting into
action and executing the plays. Tne first
score was made by Fenton, the Stanford
quarterback, who placed a neat drop-kick
between tho goal posts. The other 17
points were made on three touchdowns
and two goals, the result of line bucking
and straight football.
No one starred for Nevada,, but the
visiting teamplayed a fairly consistent
game. '

making yardage only twice. Cross
bucks were often stopped for a loss

Salem and Portland High School foot
ball teams played a scoreless game
here todsy. but tho advantage was
with the Saleiri eleven in both halves.
Expiration of time was apparently all
that prevented Salem from scoring at
tho end of the second half, when the
Capital . City boys had the lads from
the metropolis going and the ball with
in seven 3'ards of the goal. The Port
land team registered 14 pounds heavier
on an average than the Salem boys,
but the latter were more experienced.
The chief features of the game were
the successful working- of a number of
fake plaj's by the visitors and the run
ning in of a punt by Rhodes for 30
yards. The Salem team put up a stub

SCENE AT THE
ball sailing squarely between the goal
posts and placing four points to the credit
of the Maroon team.
This was all the scoring done by either
team. Three ilmci the Wisconsin team
had the ball within 20 yards of Chicago's
goal line. Once It rested on the ten-yard
line. But with defeat staring them in
the face. Chicago's line men dug their
feet deep into the ioft ground and threw
back .the Wisconsin backs.
The' struggle was probably one of the
fiercest ever seen on -a "Western griliron.
It was football, clean, hard, each man
playing to the last oqnee. Little fumbling
was done. Chicago's men let the ball get
away from them three times, the last
time almost resulting in a touchdown for
Wfscoiusin, as Eckcrsall dropped a punt
on Chicago's 15-yard line. Wisconsin fum
bled twice. Outside of this, the play was
clean and sharp. Fully 10,000 persons wit

WEST POINT. N. Y., Oct 2L (8pecial.)
"In a hotly contested game here today,
the strong team from Harvard defeated
West Point by the score of 6 to 0. After
the kickoff in the first half, play consisted
chiefly of an exchange of punts. Only
once during the half was West Point's
territory threatened, and that was by a
long punt by Nesmlth. In fact, it was by
mere accident that Harvard scored at al'
and that was in the second half. Hill of
West Point fumbled a punt the ball roll
ing over the goal line, and McDonald of
Harvard fell upon it White kicked an
easy goal.
In both halves most of the play was in
Harvard's territory, and West Point
gained more ground than Harvard. The
gamo was quick and snappy, and there
was a noticeable absence of rough playing.
West Point easily outplayed Harvard, but
the latter had the luck of the game.

FOOTBALL- . XOT FOR A FEW
President Wheeler Says tho Rules
Must Be Changed.
BERKELEY, Cat. Oct 21. "American
football as it Is played today will have to
go, or It will have to bo more- modified
than It ever has been." acid President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the University
of California to students assembled around
tho bonfiro on the college campus last
night In the big "senior rally" in honor
of the freshmen football victory.
"The view I give you of the game Is
now rapidly being accepted throughout
the country as being the only logical so
lution of the problem which has been
'reaching a head for .many years. The
gamo in Its essence is too good to aban
don entirely, aiid the thing for us to do
in the immediate future is to change jts
nature radically so that it will come with
in the palo of other college sports; where
highly specialized training, costly equip
ment unnecessary chances for serious
Injury and.a minimum of participation on
the part of the student body are ab
sent "I havo long favored such a revolution
in the. game," he continue. "It is not
right that this sport should be confined
to a mere handful of players, while the
greater part of the student body is rele
gated tb the bleachers or behind the
fence. The game; it should never be lost
sight of, was originally designed for ex
ercise, and not solely for a victory over a
rival .college. W need a game that
many can take part in, and the football
rules should be so altered that many stu
dents, at present listless, may get a
chance to participate."

URG.E PRESIDENT'S DICTUM
Misconduct Not Offense In Any Act
Of Congress.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2L President
Roosevelt's letter of. acceptance of the
nomination for President a year ago
or more was quoted by a lawyer today
in defense of Moses Haas and Freder
ick H. Peckham, who recently were in
dicted by the Federal grand jury in
Washington on a charge of conspiring
with. Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., to defraud
the Government by securing in ad
vance Information of the Government's,
cotton report. A portion of the Presi
dent's letter quoted was that "there is
ho common law of the United States
that can give Jurisdiction of an of
fense In a Federal Court." The indict
ment had alleged that Holmes was
guilty of misconduct in entering into
a conspiracy. Tne defense declared
that no such offense as misconduct
could be found in any act of Congress,
which alone could give jurisdiction of
ans offense to a Federal Court, but the
prosecution contended that it was an
offense against the common law of the
District of Columbia. It was to con
trovert this assertion that the Presi-
dent's statement was quoted by the
lawyer for the defense. It was also
contended by the latter that tho Gov
ernment was hot actually defrauded of
anything, and that, if the alleged con
spirators secured money, it was from
speculations. Decision- on the motion
to discharge Haas and Peckham from
custody was reserved-

Yesterday's ball game was presented to
the San Francisco team In the easiest
sort of a way by the tribe of McCredlo.
which of late seems to go up in the air
the minute BUI Essick makes his appear
ance on tho slab. It had performed In a
blghlv satisfactory manner up to the time
that Cy Ferry bruised a digit on his pitch
ing hand, and the blond head was dele
gated to relieve him. When BUI ambled
out on the hill there wa3 one Seal In tho
cooler, one run in for the Inning and a
man on the second sack. Householder
was the batsman facing the blond, and
he was disposed of on a chance to Atz.
"With two down. Bill became a trifle un
steady and passed C. Irwin, who Imme
diately purloined the mid-station. Goch
nauur drove one to Atz that meant cur
tains for the side, but Jake failed to get
a strangle-hold on the Spalding, with the
it.ault that all hands were safe and Spen
cer planted his tootsies on the rubber for
run number two. Goch stolo second, and
both he and Irwin Bcored when Shea laced
a safe hit to right Shea stolo second and
scored when Mitchell kicked In with hla
second error for the Inning, and the Seals'
iotaf Tor the session was five. This, with
the ace rung up In the second on a single
by Irwin and Gochnauer's triple, gave
them a total of six.
The best that the home guard could do
with Kitt was to amass a couple In tho
second inning on an error by Mohler and
hits by Sweeney, Ferry and Atz.
Umpire Rankin again had a bad after
noon, for almost before he had fjirly
started the game he had to chase Jimmy
Whalen to the tall and uncut, and plas
ter numerous and sundry fines on the
belligerent players who were holding a
mass meeting on his tributes In tho ef
fort to Inform the local man that he was
tho rottenest ever. As to the opinion
held by .tho players, the Umpire cared rot
the least, but the fact that they went so
far as to amble on his corns and Jcstlo
his dignity, he thought it advisable f at
tach a fine of live or so in each Instance,
and so many players came under this
ban thathe had to sit up half the night
on the battleship figuring out the assess
ments levied.
Later in the game- Joe Nealon fanned
out. and blamed it.oft the Indicator-handler,
with the result that he was sent to
keep der Whale company, and was suc
ceeded on tho first bag by Nick Williams
Thj game was slow and lacked life and
ginger, It requiring two hours to play
tho seven and a half innings when the
game wait called.
Two games will bo played this after
noon, the first of which is called for 1:20
sharp, and the second game will start
ten minutes after the first -contest Is coi
cludfd. Garvin will pitch the first gam
for Portland, and Callff will be given a
chance to show what he can do In the
sccr-nd.
