Five Schools Represented by
Strong Football Teams
This Year.
GOOD SCHEDULE PREPARED
Active Practice at Portland Institu
tions Indicates That Pennant.
Race Will Be Hard Fought.
Schedule la Prepared.
Portland Academy. Columbia University,
Hill Military Academy and the East and
Treat Side High Schools all will have foot
ball team In the Interacholastlo League
this season, and each Is prepared to make
a hard fight for the city championship.
The squads are practicing every night,
and will soon be ready for practice games.
West Side High School.
At the Wtt Side High School Captain
Smith is hard at work hammering into
shape the football team that this year will
have to defend tha inter-scholastic cham
ship won by the boys last season. This
Fall he had an unusual abundance of foot
ball material. The boys have been In
suits for more than a week, and are get
ting some semblance of team work devel
oped. The school has nearly a new team
this year, those of last year's team who
have turned out are Smith. Ross. ler
epach and Dabney, the all-star end.
Amonr the new men Ludham and Jtader
are snowing up good in practice.
The boys likely to make the team are:
Dabn'ey and Ludham. ends; Grout and
Coffee, tackles: Rons and Arnold, guards;
Cierspach. center; Smith and Patterson,
halves; Rader. fullback, and Voeper,
quarterback. In addition to the lnter
scholastic League games the team will
play at Tacoma and' Seattle Thanksglv
lng week, and later lni the season the
boys go to Spokane, where they will play
the bpokane High School.
At Columbia University.
Nowhere among the schools In the
state is football practice indulged In more
strenuously than at Columbia University,
where Coach Gordon C Moores ts round
ing the team into shape. The squad Is
chiefly composed of new material. In
whom the elementary principles of the
game must be instilled before satisfac
tory results can be obtained, and this ts
causing Coach Moores and Captain walk'
er a great deal of work.
Among the new men, Campbell, of the
track team, and Dooley, tha Albany High
School star, are the most promising. Kel
leher. Cook. Dunne. Perkins. Bllldeaux.
Brown. Houston and Sansfield, who are
out for positions in the line, show up ex
tremely well, considering they are new at
the game. As yet the members of last
year's squad have not made their appear
ance, which is anxiously awaited by
Coach Moores.
Among the old men who have returned
to school and are out for positions on the
team are Captain Walker, who Is slated
for his old position at fullback: Erin Is.
Becker. O'Brien. Seufert. Davis and Hol
comb. who were members of the squad
last year, have turned out. and under
the coaching of Moores are expected to
furnish some satisfactory material. The
return of a number of old players is
anxiously awaited by the Columbia stu
dent body. Pomeroy, whose dashing end
runs earned him a reputation last year,
Is among those late In returning. Hare.
Perkins. Quinn and Cearns are expected
to put In an appearance this week, and
this Is believed to Increase the pros
pects for a winning team.
Hill Military Academy.
It will be only a few weeks until Hill
Military Academy'a old battle cry will
be heard on Multnomah field and once
more cheer her stalwart gridiron warriors
to victory. Meanwhile the cadets are
straining every muscle to turn out a foot
ball team that will be a credit to them
selves and their alma mater. Coach La
tourette, the All-Northwest quarterback
and ex-captain of the 19uS University of
Oregon championship team, has had the
football squad out since the first day of
school and feels very much encouraged
and confident of success. He Is having a
difficult task, because H. M. A. has lost
heavily by graduation, i and Lootnis,
Mays. MacEwan, Merchant, Thorn,
Brigg. Smeade, Baker and Knettle will
be missing from the cadet team this Fall.
This leaves the academy four of the old
players as a nucleus for the new team.
Ponason, who played center and full
back for H. M. A. last year and was
chosen center on the all-lnterscholastlc
team, has returned to the academy to pre
pare for college. He is a powerful lad
weighing VM pounds in training and can
bo relied irpon making good either on
the line or behind It. Ben Hill, last year's
fullback, is likewise getting ready for his
Tale examinations and will be. with the
cadets for another year. He is a strong,
aggressive player of unlimited grit and
endurance, and will probably be shifted to
one of the halfback positions. Graham,
one of last year's all-lnterscholastic
guards, is the captain of the team and
will be found at tackle. Paul Shearer, last
year's subcenter, will either play his old
position or attempt to qualify for guard.
He ts a husky boy weighing ISO pounds
and will no doubt be heard from this Fall.
Manager Carruthers is trying out for
center and bids fair to make good in that
Important position. Tie is light but an ac
tive player and will cause his opponent
considerable worry. Seymour Graham is
another husky member of last year's
team. He weighs 166 pounds and is fast
and may be relied upon to make good
wherever he Is placed.
Among the new men "Buzz" Hughes Is
showing up well at quarter. Ha Is an all
round athlete and will strengthen the
team considerably. Holly McGulre, who
was formerly Portland High School's
hurdler, has entered the academy this year
and will probably make one of the end
positions. Prehn. another High School
man. has a reputation as a sprinter, which
makes him a most likely candidate for the
ether end. or at halfback.
Clays, a husky Eastern Oregon boy. Is
anotiier newcomer with previous football
experience. He was formerly a star at
the Weston Normal School. Is fast and
aggressive and is a welcome addition to
the team. Earl Wurxwetler. a former sec
ond team man. Is snowing up good at
guard and will doubtless make the varsity
this year. Jameson, another second team
man. will also try for one of the guard
positions. The remaining members of the
football squad, among which there is
some excellent material, are Cadets West
brook. Akin. Smith. Snipes, G. Smith.
Bee km an. Zbender and Hlckott. Several
new men are expected to enroll thla week.
East Side High School.
The East Side High Bchool expects
to rapture first place In the Portland
lnterscholastic football league this
season. The football squad, materially
strengthened by new men. has een
practicing the past week. The team is
the strongest and fastest aggregation
that has ever been turned out by the
ast Elders, and is expected to be an
important factor In the fight for the
championship. Cornell, last years'
quarter back, has been elected captain.
While the material could hardly be
better, what remains to bring victory
Is careful training and coaching. Rev.
Paul Rader, a former Multnomah star,
la coaching" the boys, and expects to
whip them Into shape within a short
time. Dr. Rader has great faith In the
new team, and believes he will got re
sults from the boys.
Captain Cornel! will be found at
quarterback, where he is expected to
play his usual good game. The Leader
brothers will play the tackle positions.
Kebo, a former Columbia University
star. Is trying for halfback. Caaon
will play the other half, and Stanard
ts slated for fullback.
Jones, who was elected captain of
the Portland Academy team, but waa
dropped by the faculty, has entered
the East Side High School and will
probably play right end. Dr. Rader
haa a squad of 30 men and out of these
feels confident of organizing a win
ning team.
The lnterscholastic football games
will be played on Multnomah field this
year, as in past seasons. The league
directors have adopted a schedule,
which will be modified only to avoid
Interference with club games. The
dates are as follows:
Wednesday. October 21 East Bide vs.

COLLIDE IN DENSE FOG
Fall River Boat Runs Into Freighter
on Sound.
NEW YORK. Sept. 28. The steamer
Commonwealth, newest and largeat of the
Fall River Line's sound steamers, arrived
at this port today after colliding with and
sinking the Norwegian freight steamer
Volund in a dense fog off Race Rock, at
the eastern entrance to Loner Island Sound,
this morning. The Volund s officers, the
captain's wife and crew were rescued and
brought here on the Commonwealth. One
member of the Volund a crew was Injured
which constituted the only casualty.
The bow of the Fall River liner was
smashed above the water line In the col
lision, but the damages were not consid
ered serious.
The accident happened about 1:20 A. M.
The Commonwealth waa proceeding slow
ly because of the thick fog which had ob
scured everything from the time sne leit
Fail River. The freight craft also waa
proceeding slowly when Captain William
son, of the Commonwealth, sighted It
coming in hte direction. The siren blasts
wh,ich followed, however, were sounded
too late to prevent the collision and the
unknown vessel, after remaining above
water a short time, rapidly settled, fore.
lng the crew to take to the water, from
where they were rescued by the crew of
the steamer Providence.
Following the collision, Ceptain Will.
lamson ordered the wireless operator to
send a general message of distress along
the Sound and within an hour five ves-
fels had answered and volunteered their
assistance. The steamers Maine, Provl
dence and Prlacilla stood by the Com

WARNS AGAINST PLAGUE
Dr. Foster Advises All Coast Cities
to Kill Rats.
WASHINGTON. Sept 26. That the
Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the United
States are in danger of an Infection of
the bubonic plague was the serious note
of warning sounded today by Dr. N. K.
Foster, of California, before the delegates
In attendance upon the 23d annual meet
ing of the conference of State and Provin
cial Boards of Health of North America.
He expressed the belief that such an in
fection already may have taken place.
The address of Dr. Foster, who is presi
dent of the- organization, startled tha
delegates.
'I firmly believe. said Dr. Foster,
"that the United States will become gen
erally Infected, not from California but
from ports having communication by
water. My object is to sound a note of
warning and to put you upon your guard
against an Insidious and dangerous foe.
"No effort should be spared, said he,
to guard against Its introduction," and
he warned his hearers that every city

however, are four of the best players
that ever wore the lemon yellow. They
are Mclntyre, '09; Moullen, 09i Plnkhatn,
10, and Clark, '10.
Mclntyre has played three seasons as
guard. He weighs 183 and is 26 years
old. His home is at Ashland.
Moullen. who Is to captain this year's
team, is one of the best players on the
Coast. As a place-kicker he has few
equals and he Is a guard of more than
average ability. Moullen lives at Modesto,
Cal. He prepared for college at the Lick
High School. San Francisco. He is 23
years old and weighs 178 pounds.
Pinkham played as a substitute guard
in 1906 and as left tackle last season. He
played for several years at the Portland
High School before coming to college. He
weighs 166 pounds and is 22 years of age.
Dudley Clark, All-Northwest fullback
for 1907, is a Portland boy. He played on
Portland Academy and also on the Mult
nomah eleven before coming to college.
He Is regarded by local critics as the best
punter ever produced in the Northwest.
Clark is a big fellow, weighing nearly 190
pounds. He is 21 years old.
Big Yale End Is Making Good
as Oregon Coach.
SHOWS MASTERY OF GAME
Large Squad Is Reporting for Train
ins, but Many Players Are
Lacking in Exper-
lenoe.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or.. Sept. 26. (SpeciaL) Although leas
than half of last season's veteran foot
ball men are in' college, the prospects
for a successful season are sot at all
discouraging. At the conclusion of the
first week of practice, the football situa
tion is further advanced than it was at
the same time last year, and by the end
of next week the hard routine work of the
early season will be well under way.
Bob Forbes Makes a Hit.
Bob Forbes, the big Tale end. who
coached the Army last season, has al
ready won the hearts of the football
squad. He has demonstrated during the
few days that he has been on the cam
pus that he is a master of the game, and
that his players will be well drilled In
all the rudiments of football.
The old players on hand are Captain
Moullen, Coleman, Mclntyre, Pinkham
and Clark, of last season's varsity; Gliles,
the freshman guard of 1906; Voigt, Hal
ley, Dodsoa, Sweek, Hayes, Nelll, Kil
patrlck and several others of last sea
son's second team.
Fine Squad of Freshmen.
Besides these old men, there ts a fine
squad of freshmen, conspicuous among
them being Latoureite, Hlckson and Mc
Klnley. of Portland; Harding, of Oregon
City; Rhinehart, of Fossil; L. Means and
A. Means, of Pendleton; Chandler, of
Marshfield; Henderson, of Hood River;
and Main, Michael and Weidland, of
California. The last-named Is a big man
and has had several years of high-school
experience, as have Main and Mlchtel,
who come from the Lick high school at
Ban Francisco. Kellogg, the big Baker
City freshman, will be unable to play, ow
ing to an Injury received last Summer.
' Two Coaches Are Busy.
The squad numbers about 45 meri. and
will be - larger next week. Forbes is
coaching the old players, and Assistant
Coach Arnspiger Is busy with the fresh
men. The men are being drilled in the
fundamental principles of the game, such
as catching punts, falling on fumbles,
passing the bail and tackling the
"dummy." Forbes has made no an
nouncement as to the time when scrim
mage work will commence.
J. B. Owsley, of Seattle, will be on
hand next Monday, and will devote the
entire week to the candidates for back
field positions. Owsley was head coach
at New Haven in 1905, and his services
will be most valuable to the team. He
will return late in October in order to
put some-finishing touches, on the backs
before the big game with Idaho. Rock
well, the great Tale quarterback, will
also assist with the coaching later on,
Forbes Faces Hard Task.
Oregon never bad a finer bunch of
football material than that contained In
the present squad. Most of the men
are green, however, and consistent coach
ing is the only thing that will whip them
Into shape. Forbes his a difficult task
cut out for him, but predictions are made
that he is the right man in the right
place.
FORBES IKES A Fill
FOOTBALL RULES
PROVE PERPLEXING
Striot Application of Four
Year Regulation Found to
Work Hardship. .
TEAMS AT PRACTICE WORK
Coach Doble Makes Bad Impression
at Seattle by Holding Secret
Practice and Preventing
Publicity.
BY RfBrBftEEB.
Now that the Northwest Conference
rules are in operation, a number of per
plexing questions concerning their inter
pretation have presented themselves.
Whether or not the four-year-rulo which
was mads retroactive by the Conference
shall apply to men who played on 'varsity
teams while enrolled In the preparatory
departments of their colleges. Is a ques
tion that has brought forth considerable
discussion. The preponderance of opinion
is that the rule should be rigidly enforced
and that those athletes In whose behalf
the question has been raised should be
declared ineligible.
The writer begs to dissent from this
general view, for the reason that the
strict construction of the rule In its retro
active state works a great hardship on
many players. When a boy enters high
school he has four years of high school
football, 'and when he. enters college he
should be eligible for four yeara The
fact that a student has done his prepara
tory or freshman department of a college
rather than In a high school, and has
made a place on his varsity team while so
doing, should not disqualify him from
his four years of college athletics. Why
should such a student be discriminated
against when the high school graduate
enters college and Is allowed to compete.
Rale Hits Whi tman Hard.
One needs only tc look at Whitman
College to see the glaring Injustice of this
rule. Three of Whitman's best players
who are no further along than their
sophomore year now find .themselves In
eligible because they were unfortunate
enough to make places on the Whitman
varsity while enrolled In the sub-freshman
department.
Pullman has also suffered a loss of some
of her best men for the same reason. The
unjust part of this rule lies in the fact
that it Is retroactive. Had these young
men foreseen the rules of the Northwest
Conference, they would have undoubtedly
kept out of athletics until their freshman
year. They" had no warning whatever,
and are now booked to stand on the side
lines unless the Conference rules are given
a most liberal construction.
It is the writer's opinion that the retro
active feature of this rule Bhould be sus
pended, but that the rule should be other
wise enforced. This rule does not affect
Oregon or Washington, as neither of
these Institutions has maintained a pre
paratory department for some years.
Just at the present time, however. Whit
man, Pullman and Idaho seem to be in
the limelight, with the prospect of several
of their best men being out of the game.
Idaho will not suffer this year, but will
lose Smith and Small from her football
squad next season.
Boles Should Be Enforced.
The writer is not desirous of undoing
tha good work of the Walla Walla Con
ference. With the exception above dis
cussed, I favor a rigid enforcement of the
conference rules. Tramp athletes, profes
sional ballplayers, college bums, and poor
students should not be allowed to com
pete. Rule 2 of the code adopted at Walla
Walla la commonly known as the "year's
residence rule." The question of the eligi
bility of a man who has competed on one
college team, and then, after the lapse of
a year or more, enters another college,
has arisen, and the Conference colleges
are being asked for an Interpretation.
Anything but a strict construction of the
rule would not be in keeping with college
sport and would open the gateway to the
tramp athlete. The question has arisen
at the University of Idaho, where J. O.
Elton, captain of the Pullman team in
1901, has entered college and turned out
for football. Elton's case may have some
Individual merit, and the writer knows
that ho has not gone to Idaho for the sole
purpose of engaging In athletics, but there
should be no trifling with the rule which
was adopted to guard against the tramp
athlete.
Doble Makes Bad Mot.
Coach Dobie. of Washington, has al
ready made himself unpopular with the
football fans of Seattle .by ordering secret
practice and by excluding reporters and
newspaper photographers from the foot
ball enclosure cn the Washington campus.
Such tactics may work very nicely in
Minnesota, but they are not relished in
the Pacific Northwest. Dobie should profit
by the sad lesson of young Mr. Bezdek,

championship struggle.
Northwest Squads at Work.
Early practice is already In progress at
all the Northwest Institutions. John Mid
dleton is hard at work with the Idaho
men. while Blanchard and Rhelnschild,
Whitman and Pullman, respectively, are
giving Instruction to large squads of can
didates. At Washington. Coach Doble is
being assisted by Joe Cutting, of Middle
West fame. Norcross has a good bunch,
ef men at Corvallia, and will have more
this week, as some of the old men are
slow about returning. Coach Forbes and
Assistant Coach Arranger have a likely
squad of 50 men at Eugene. They will bo
assisted during the coming week by Jack
Owsley, Tale's famous halfback, who was
head coach at New Haven in 19U6.
There will be no Interesting develop
ments In Northwest football for some
weeks, as the coaches are now -drilling
their men In the rudiments of the game.
ACCIDENT AT CROSSING
Car Filled With Passengers In Ber
lin Drops 40 Feet.
BERLIN, Sept. 21 Two trains on the
Berlin Elevated Railroad were In collision
early this afternoon. As a result 18 per
sons are dead, while many sustained Inju
ries. The accident was caused by a mis
placed signal. One of the ears which was
crowded with passengers was thrown into
the street 40 feet below and shattered.
The greatest mortality was in this car.
The police were quickly at the saene and
the work of extricating the dead and
wounded was begun. Ambulances were
summoned and waited close to the scene
of the wreck while the Injured were
brought out. Then each wagon with its
suffering passengers hastened to a hos
pital. .
The collision occurred in the heart ol
the eastern commercial distriot, upon
what is known as the triangle, a notable
piece of railroad construction where three
double tracks cross.
A model of this crossing was exhibited
at the Bt. Louis Exposition.
Among the dead is Richard Wendt, an
architect.
Most of the deaths resulted from con
tact with the electrified rails.

runner is thrown out by catcht.r between
second and third on a passed ball, which
struck backstop before fielded and
thrown. Umpire declares baserunner'
safe, claiming runner is entitled to base
on passed ball, as the backstop was not
at regulation distance, and no ground
rules existed. This resulted, in the cap
tain of the team in field withdrawing
his men from the grounds, and umpire
declared game forfeited to side at bat
9 to 0. Should A bet B on outcome of
game, and A's team being the one taken
off the field who wins?

vided In the instance cited, the official
would have been In error to have ruled
otherwise.
