Is .Noticeable In Poor Team

BT W. J.
By th score of to 0 ths Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club football team
opened ths football season yesterday
with a hard-earned victory over the
agile team of young players represent
ing Willamette University.
The game was witnessed by a fair
slsed crowd. Ideal football conditions
cannot be aaid to have prevailed yes
terday, for when the players of ths
opposing teams cams together In
scrimmages, clouds of duet practically
obscured the men, antt here in Oregon,
at least, this is unusual during the
football months.
Despite ths handicap of a dry field,
both teams displayed considerable
football knowledge, but the lack of
practice was quite apparent. Coach
Klrby. of Willamette, possesses some
splendid material, and the showing of
his lightweight eleven should prove
highly satisfactory to the rooters of
the Salem institution, as well as to
himself. Willamette, although out
weighed pounds to the man. showed
great promise in the sturdy manner in
which It resisted the advances of the
Multnomah huskies. In fact, the Capi
tal City team worked like trojans. and
were beaten principally because of the
superior judgment used by the exper
ienced Stott and the weight of his
teammates.
Gain by Exchanging Punts.
Bud James" trusty right foot was
responsible for Multnomah's first score,
for he booted the ball squarely be
tween the goal posts nve minutes be
fore the conclusion of the first half
for a goal from the field. This score
netted Multnomah four points and was
made possible by the advantage James
had over his opponent In the punting
duel inaugurated by both teams
shortly after th game started. James
outpunted the Salem lad fully 20 yards
on every exchange, and Multnomah
soon advanced the ball Into Willamette
territory.
Captain Stott did not participate in
the first half, but Harry Litt, who oc
cupied ths position of quarterback,
sent the team through Its formation in
very good shape for the Inaugural
coutesL Some of the boys missed sig
nals occasionally, but any losses sus
tained in this manner, were recouped
aim. st immediately by the long punts
sent out by James. Bud displayed his
true value in the most pronounced
manner, and it Is safe to predict that
he will assist In attaining victory for
Multnomah In many of the coming
games.
Fumbling was frequent on both
sides. Willamette losing heavily prac
tically every time the Salem boys tried
the forward pass. Multnomah also
failed to successfully manipulate the
Intricate play Introduced last year by
Coach Mlddleton, of the University of
Idaho. However, the speedy ends of
both teams give promise of develop
ing the faculty of getting down on the
passes accu-ately in the future.
College Baa Star Halfback.
In the first half of the game one
Willamette rlayer showed -up brill
iantly. He is Sullivan, halfback, who
Is a sturdy chap and a natural foot
ball player. He played a great game
yesterday and is practically without
experience. No matter where the play
was to be made. Sullivan seemed to be
the right man in the right place, and
he frequently succeeded in blocking
the advance of Pllktngton. Oswald.
Button and James, the Multnomah
huskies who carried the ball most fre
quently. During the first half Sulli
van was Jolted severely In a scrim
mage, and after sustaining another in
Jury In a mix-up shortly after the sec
ond half started, he retired from the
game.
Quarterback Booth and Fullback
CummlcKS. of the visiting team, also
displayed more than passing merit, for
they played ss near a game of real
football as sny of the players on the
gridiron.
Multnomah possesses material for an
exceptionally strong eleven, and while
Manager Pratt was slightly disappoint
ed because the bays failed to roll up
s large score, he Is satisfied with the
showing made, and entertains hopes)
for a most successful season.
Club Has line Material.
Among the Multnomah players who
starred in addition to Jsmes were Pll
klngton. Oswald. Stott. Lltt. Walker,
Austin. Conant and Knudson. Pilking
ton seems likely to make one of the
best halfbacks ever wearing a club
uniform, lie carries the ball securely,
and seems to possess the knack of get
ting a good start and the intuition of
selecting the proper point of attack.
His support yesterday was good at
times, but In some Instances his inter
ference spread, allowing openings of
which the alert Willamette players
were quick to lake advantage.
Jack Oswald, the giant Minnesotan,
is an exceptionally good line man. He
put up a fine game, despite his lack
of asssurance owing to the new sur
roundings and the fact that the field
was dry and dusty. Ferry Austin, who
went in at end in the second half, de
lighted his admirers by one of the
longest runs of the game. The agile
little fellow, aided by the Interference
of Stott and James, wiggled and
dodged through the Willamette bunch
for a gain of S5 yards. This feat was
atterwards duplicated by Stott. who
made a most substantial gain toward
the close of the game.
Stott Ran fcores Touchdown.
However, the touchdown scored by
Multnomah was due to a run around
end by Stott. and a successive series
of line-bucking by the clubmen Imme
diately after the whistle blew for the
second half. With Walker. Oswald.
Fllkington. James and Stott alternate
ly carrying the ball. Multnomah ad
vanced with rapid strides toward the
Willamette goal, and finally, with the
Willamette boys contesting every Inch
of the ground. Ptlklngton was literally
hurled over the line for the only touch
down of the game. This score, to
gether with the goal kicked by James
la the first half, netted the clubman a
total of nine points, for James was tin
able to connect for a goal from touch
down. Tcniametts. Position. Mnltnoman.

TEAMS IX GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
Twenty-Two Out of 93 Schools
Elect Manager and Select Sqnads.
The Grammar School Athletic League
is planning the opening of the foot
ball season, when some z5 grammar
schools will be represented on the
gridiron with football teams. This
league among the school children of
Portland Is furnishing the young boys
attending the publlo schools an oppor
tunity of playing outdoor sporte of all
kinds In a systematic manner. Com
petent coachea have been secured for
each team, and the Idea of eliminating
roughness from the play of the boys
generally prevails.
So far fS of the ZS schools repre
sented In the league have elected man
ager, and the plans for a season sched
ule have progressed o far that the ar
rangements for the games will be an
nounced In the very near future.
Among the children of the various
schools the great college game i now
the sole topic of conversation. The
boys, and even the girl, are taking the
keenest Interest In the development of
eitrh school's team. Physical Director
Robert Krohn Is In direct supervision
of the preliminary arrangements, and
will have charge of the actual train
ing of the teams. He will be assisted
by a competent corps of Instructors,
who will select the players best fitted
to make each team, and exceptional
care will be taken to see that all the
boys enrolled on the regular teams are
rugged In health and possess the prop
er spirt to play the game. No rowdy
tern will be tolerated among any of the
players, for It Is the object of the
league officials to conduct the games
In the cleanest manner possible.
The teams will be divided into two
classes, and suitable trophies will be pro
vided for the competitions.
The teams and their boy managers are
as follows: Arleta. Walter Boone; Ains
worth. Sydney Lass well; Brooklyn, Har
ry Wilson: Chapman, Harold Binkley;
Clinton Kelly. Eddie Grigsley; Holman, C.
W. Fargo; Hawthorne, Fred McKeen:

select their managers later.
THOrSANT TO COME TO GAME
Special Excursion From Eugene for
Oregon-O. A. C. Contest,
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.) Definite ar
rangements have been made for an
excursion to Portland on November 21
for the Oregon-O. A. C game. Foot
ball Manager Ralph B. McEwen an
nounces that a special train will leave
Eugene at :30 A. M.. reaching Port
land at 11:Z0 A. M. On the return trip
the special will leave Portland at 7
P. M. and will reach Eugene at 11:S0
P. St Round trip tickets will be sold
for 3.
It Is estimated that between 1000
and 1500 people will go from the uni
versity and from Eugene. Nearly all
of the 600 students In college will be
in attendance. The rooters will march
to the game in a body, headed by the
university band of 40 pieces. A big
section In the grandstand has been re
served for the university students,
whose cheering will be led by Yell
Leader Loosley.
The football men will go down the
day before the game and will be quar
tered at one of the downtqwn hotels.
HILL, TEAM DEFEATS SALEM
Academy Boys Show Result of
Weight and Longer Practice.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
Heavier weight and more practice en
abled the Hill Military Academy to de
feat Salem High School In the opening
game of football today, 10 to 0. The
Academy boys have been practicing a
month, while the Salem boys began
only this week. Two safeties, a touch
down and goal In the first half made
the score. In the second half Salem
strengthened Its team by putting on
stronger men, and thereby held the vis
itors down.
There was considerable fumbling,
if
You
$1500
Want tee
Will Buy
Decide, first, whether you want a car that looks perfect
on paper; or whether you want one that has proven its per
fection in actual road service.
There are several good "paper" cars at near the $1500
price cars selling from $2000 down to $1250.
Cars made by men who - have manufactured successful
higher priced cars, but who, now, for the first time, are at
tempting a. $2000 to $1250 car.
Cars made by men who ought to know how to make a
low-priced car but who have never made one.
Much is promised for these "paper" cars. But no more
is promised for them than the Mitchell, in eight years of
service, has already proven that it will do. '
The "paper" cars promise no more speed, no more power,
'no more safety than the Mitchell car is known to have
known wherever motor cars are run.
And they can promise nothing valid as to wear, service,
upkeep cost, because there is no past performance on which
to base a promise.
While the wear, the service, the upkeep cost of the
Mitchell, you can learn for yourself from any of the 8000
Mitchell owners.
The Mitchell car has always been a low-priced ear.
The new $1500 four-cylinder, five-passenger Mitchell is
not an innovation.
We have merely made the best car that eight years of
experience have taught us to make and added a $150 Bplit
dorf magneto, more expensive tires, and $300 worth, in all, of
extra automobile value, whiclv with any other car at near its
price will cost you extra.
If you buy a "paper" car, you are, at best, merely gam
bling that its makers are right.
If you buy any .other $1500 car, you are merely buying
possibilities, when certainties are offered you. .
If you buy any other car at near the Mitchell price, you
are merely backing theory to win against experience when
theory promises nothing that experience will not give.
But the $1500 you pay for a Mitchell buys the best that
we are able to produce, after having made more than $11,000,
000 worth of successful low-priced cars.
Will you take what some maker thinks is a good car, when
you can ?et what 8000 Mitchell owners know is the best car
$1500 will buy?
Best Motor Car That
1
Learn These Things Before You Buy a Car
Take one example of the difference between the
proven Mitchell and any paper" car.
The best motor ear theory Is that the water
pump should be driven at half the speed of the
engine.
We mads Mitchell water pumps that way at
first eight years ago.
But when the Mitchell got In common use on
the deserts of Nevada, there was trouble with hot
cylinders. ,
On those broiling desert sands, where the water
heats while the car is standing still it takes more
to cool a car than it does on the boulevards of
ChloaB- So we made
aradlcal
change from
the "best
motor car
I p r a o tloe"
' we f o r s ook
the kind of
knowledge on
which "pa
per" cars are
built and we
doubled the
speed of the
water pump.
Since we
r j a r at A the

nii i viu to go at full

no other car of its price. Tour
ing Car or Roadster price,
us they
car as the
New Model K (1909 model) in
cludine $150 Splitdorf Mag
neto 32x4 in. tires and $300
$1500
engine speed,
there has
been no more
trouble witn
heated cyl
inders even
on the hottest
days and in
the deep est
sands that
the deserts of
Nevada know.
And the result is that there are only two cars
which today are in common, successful use on those
desert sands one a car that costs more than three
times the Mitchell price the other, of course, the
Mitchell. .
Do you want a car that has been perfected by
experience, or do youwant a'paper" car?
Take another example: ...
Imagine the strains of mountain driving. The
strains, particularly that come on the crank shaft
at every stroke of the pistons.
More crank shafts are hung from two bearings
one at either end.
With only two bearings, there must be play in
the middle. Where there Is play there Is added
strain. And in mountain and hill climbing, broken
shafts must result.
The Mitchell crank shaft has live bearings. One
at either end three extra ones In between.
Two bearings are not enough for safety re
member that when you look at the plans of a
i "paper" car.
You may not want a car for desert riding.
Tou may not want a car for mountain climbing.
But you can be sure of a car when it stands such
tests as these. Can you be sure of any "paper car?
And, as with the water pump and the crank
shaft, so with the transmission, so with the clutch,
so with the rear axle, so with the lubrication, so
with the brakes, so with every part of the Mitchell
Cal"in the Mitchell you will find perfections, refine
ments, superiorities of the kind that come only
with experience perfections, refinements, superi
orities that no "paper" car, no matter how skilled
Its maker, can possibly have.
But if the makers of "paper" cars knew all these
irttnl thlnors which eiaht years of experience In
building low-priced cars have taught
would not. eves then, make so good
Mitchell at 11500.
The oost of making the special dies and tools,
alone, would prohibit It.
If we had to begin at the beginning, as they do,
this new 1909 Mitchell would cost you $1300 more.
It is only because our dies, special tools and
Initial expenses were paid for and charged off,
years ago, that we can give so good a car for so
""ThelSOOyou psy for a Mitchell Model K goes
not into dies and special tools It goes into ma
terial, workmanship, testing It goes Into the car
yon get. ' '
Material, workmanship, tenting.
It is not enough for us to know that our design
Is right, that our material is perfect, that our
'workmanship Is of the best.
It Is not enough for us to know that the 8000
cars that we have made are right.
We must know that the particular car yon buy
So'we test it as though we were making a car
a year, instead of fifteen cars a day. .
We test it on the roughest roads of eastern
Wisconsin we give it actual road punishment of
from 100 to 250 miles over hills through sand
on straight stretches the kind of a test you would
give it if you were testing lt yourself.
Compare this four-cylinder, five-passenger $1500
Mitchell with any of the "paper" cars. Or compare
it with the best American cars, no matter what
their cost or pretensions.
You will not find in any of them more vanadium
and nickel steel. You will not find more perfect
engines. You will not find a proven superiority
which this 1500 Mitchell lacks.
This J1500 Mitchell is an imposing looking car.
It has a wheel base of 105 inches. The body is
wholly of metal. The upholstering is luxurious.

ABOLISH ROOTING "STUNTS"
Yell Leader at TJ. of C, to Dispense
With Freak Side Issues.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 10. (Special.)
Tell leadens at the University of Cal
ifornia have decided to abolish the
various "stunts" that have heretofore
characterized Intercollegiate games
with Stanford, such as sending up bal
loons, kites, homing pigeons, etc, and
hereafter will try to center the atten
tion of the rooters on the game Iteelf.
Each year the students from the two
universities try to outdo each other
with fantastic skyrockets, bombs and
showers of confetti, with the result
that the "stunts" cause the spectators
to crane their necks watching the big
balloons Instead of the game. The
California men will make an effort to
have the Stanford rooters agree to dis
pense with the "stunts," and the money
thus saved will be spent for better
equipment for the teams.
The first Intercollegiate match of the
season will be the California-Stanford
freshman game on October 17, on Stan
ford field.

Multnomah Club With 11 Goals
Shuts Out Cricketers.
TEAMWORK IS IN EVIDENCE
Week's Practice Has Worked Great
Improvement In Association: Play
ers and Winged "M" Goal
Is Never in Danger.
BY JOSEPH M. QUBNTIM.
A dose of whitewash" was gracefully
administered by the Multnomahs to the
Cricketers at an association or soccer
game of football . played yesterday after
noon at the baseball grounds, Twenty
fourth and Vaughn streets. After 90
minutes of actual, hard play the result
was reached in these total number of
goals: Multnomah 11, Cricketers 0. Only
one goal was an accident.
Why? Really good combination play
ing by Multnomah. That's all there is
to it In a few words. I criticized the
wearers of the cardinal and white last
week because they persisted in individual
play, but somebody has evidently been
getting busy with the boys in the in
terval. They have now caught the Idea
that to win they must pass the ball to
one another Just the same as If one
played a game of checkers. Their team
is a new one, in a week, and already dis
plays championship form. The changes
in make-up are very satisfactory. The
boys have caught the -true Multnomah
Club spirit and work together harmo
niously and unselfishly. Though they
play a kicking game, they are not
"kickers" personally.
Men Oct of Condition.
The Cricketers msde a gallant fight.
Some of their men have not played for a
long time and consequently were out of
condition. Briggs, a fine fullback, and a
new resident here from Victoria, B. C,
is a splendidly developed athlete, weigh
ing 210 pounds. Even at this weight, he
is fast on his feet and will surely shine
in a hard, checking game. Iles Is the
most skilful player the Cricketers pos
sess, in my opinion, and he makes good
both In defensive and aggressive plays.
Teal Is a light, wing-man and displays
Judgment in keeping his position and
breaking up attack. Wilson and Mitchell
put up a good fight.
Often Fen wick was left without sup
port from the halfbacks, but was a
good back division all In himself. He
was Instrumental in saving many
plays, and although he suffered from a
badly injured knse. he gamely hung on
to the end, and is the best exponent of
the fighting game the team has. The
shots rained so hard on Cummlngs that
I felt sorry for him. He would have
been all the better for an umbrella
Eleven times the ball went psst him
into the net, but at least 20 goals
would have been scored had Cummlngs
not played for all that he is worth.
It's really early in the season for the
Cricketers but watch out for them.
They will develop Into strong, hardy
players soon.
Backs Have Kasy Work.
For the Multnomahs, the back divi
sion had a "snap," for they had little
or no work to dx the play was so
much In the Cricketers' territory.
Barton twlco saved In brilliant style,
and shows unexpected skill. My re
gards to Crotby for "heady" play. The
halfback division was changed to Ben
nett, Andrew Matthew and Kddle gam
mons. This Is the first soccer game
that Sammom, has ever played, and he
bore himself with great credit. He
plays a checking, passing game, and
seems to be a natural halfback.
Kydd and Dick were kept busy In the
right wing, and the plays sent to them
ought to have been better distributed.
The stars were again the Matthew
brothers. Harry Matthew was badly
kicked In the stomach and knee, but
he pluckily wouldn't quit scoring. Sid
ney Mills is a "crack" center and can
be depended upon. Both his skill and
endurance are unusually good. 61m
Bennett, captain, was clever with head
shots, and so was Dick.
I do not wish to write a detailed de
scription of the game, as it was too
one-sided. However, It was worth the
money and Its only fault was the poor
attendance of spectators. See the
game, people.
Une-up of the Teams.
When the kick-off was called, the
teams lined up in this order: Multno
mah Goal, Barton: fullbacks, Crosby.
Dyment; halfbacks, Bennett. Andrew
Matthew and Sammons; left wing,
Harry Matthew, Hanson: right wing,
Kidd, Dick: center, Sidney Mill.
Cricketers Goal, Cummings; backs.
Wilson, Briggs; halfbacks, Mitchell,
Fenwlck, Garretson; center, Hughes;
right wing. F.yles, MoKenzle; left wing,
Teal, Jeffs. As the game proceeded,
however. the Cricketers' make-up
changed, and I noticed Briggs putting
up a great game forward, and Fenwlck
playing as back. The referee was
Charles Kellls, and linesmen Jago and
Keith. ...
