ulation.
Coach Combats Heary Odds.
s4 The writer saw Oreson put up a medi
ocre article of football against a leara
of her own alumni stars at Eugene a
week ago. Coach Forbes has been work
ing against heavy odds, but Is develop-
i - tMtn and baa at least a
tair chanoe of winning from Mlddleton'a
..rt Samrdar. The Oregon
rivicKco ut -
lineup wOl contain three or four Teterans
and eeven or eigni. imimicu.
will average a trifle over 1.0 poimds,
..-ii i nA -nH If Inn and will ftpnt
hard. The Oregon defense is first class.
Clark's punting la good. Moullen Is- ac
curate on his place kicks and the men
have confidence In their coach and In
each other.
These are the elements that may cause
Oregon to win over her uem siaie rivm.
r Ha fai?t that two-thirds of the team
have never played in an Intercollegiate
gam causes Oregon supporters to look
with some misgivings upon me result.
Xo Freshnren on Idaho Team.
While Idaho has lost a good bunch
of her men of last year, their plsoea
' hare been filled by substitutes and sec
ond team reserves. There are no freah-
. ulwiw HneuD. All the men
II It-1. lu
have served under Miadleton before and
they know his methods. Their style of
attack is versatile, their defense strong
and their fighting spirit of a high or
der. They underweigh Oregon slightly.

a whole, the chances for victory seem
t h. abont evenly distributed between
Oregon and Idaho.
Washington Out for Blood.
Roth Waahington and O. A. C. have
been filling the paper with bear sto
ries, although Washington's stock took a
skyward direction when KaDCOCK, oanxa
and Jaryla joined the squad two weeks
ago. Coach iomes men piayeu hub.
around Whltworth, and there is no deny
ing the fact that they are out ror sweet
revenge against O. A. C. It will be
remembered that Washington has not de
feated the Oregon Aggies since 1903, al
though no game was played last season
between these elevens. Washington Is
not only out to defeat O. A. C, but she
has a notion that Oregon. Pullman and
other Northwest teams are In line for a
walloping. Despite the criticisms that
have been hurled at him. Coach Doblo
Is developing a high-class team at Se
attle, and If the O. A. C players nave a
notion that the coming game will be
a one-aided affair they certainly have
another guess coming.
With seven old players as a nucleus and
with a wealth of good material at his
command. Coach Norcrosa is building up
a most formidable football machine at
Corvallls. The strength of the Oregon
Agricultural College bunch Is as yet un
known, but the wise ones say that It will
be stronger than last season's eleven. As
a punter and place-ktcker, Wolff la
always a dangerous man, and in these
departments of the game the Agricultural
College men should out-class Washing
ton. The writer takes no stock in the
hard luck stories that have come down
from corvallls. He predicts a hard, close
game at Seattle, but is Inclined to 'the
belief that Oregon Agricultural College
will win.
O. A. C. Has Xo Freshman Team.
General regret la expressed at the In
ability of O. A. C. to put out a freshman
eleven. Considerable interest had been
aroused because of the announcement of
a freshman Intercollegiate game between
O. A. C. and Oregon. The university peo
ple had gone to some trouble and ex
pense In the matter of equipment and
coaching and a very creditable eleven
had been developed from the ranks of
the baby class. The writer has no desire
to make any unjust criticism of the O.
A. C. management, but nevertheless feels
that a mistake has been made. The
university freshmen have played a series
of preliminary games and some of them
will be ready for varsity positions next
season, while O. A. C. will have no fresh
men reserves from which to draw.

Rumors and aeniais are mui's -with
the utmost abandon, and In all oi

II1B pniiiynuiuiin .... . .
the principal baseball stronghold under
discussion, from oeatue v .ci.
Portland Is to be affiliated with the
Northwest League, and also maintain a
team In the Pacific Coast League. Aber
deen has it that Russ Hall, the Pacific
Coast League deserter of 1906. Is to be
employed by McCredie as manager for
Portland's Lucas league team. And down
California way. every spare Inch of space
is being devoted to statements from
Walter McCredie. who Is quoted in San
Francisco as being unalterably opposed
to continuous baseball in Los Angeles.
In the Angel City he Is quoted Just the
opposite, or as being In favor of giving
the Angels all the baseball . they want
and then some. '

some foundation, but as far as known to
the writer, Walter Mccreuie is yet

and thereby iustltlea ine press
prophesies. The Inconsistency of the
Seattle baseball writers naj even
McCredie faded Into retirement when it
comes to doping out "splendid" teams.
Despite the denials of Walter McCre
die. as well as those of his uncle, who.
by the way Is as thoroughly reliable on
baseball topics as his nephew Is uie op
posite, there seems to be some founda
tion for the frequency 01 mo
emanating from the Puget Sound terri
tory. By way of placing the baseball situa
tion before the public, the aforementioned
Seattle oracle starts on a cu.uum
In the following manner:
Announcement made by -Walter McCredie

as to allot 18 to each of his two clubs, the

and the Class B duo or me oruiLi u

will be a member ot the Northwestern
league next year and that McCredie ex

be much more satisfied If Messrs. Ewlng
and Berry had aevotea rneir ciiutm iu
discussing the prospects for a reorganiza
tion of the Pacific Coast League circuit
for next season Instead of meandering
off to witness the world's series, where

challenge to the world's champions for a
series with the ios Angeies iiud at mo
end of the present season In the South
land. M
According to th present status or
baseball affairs there Is to be nothing
doing In the matter of next season s
circuit until the annual meeting of the
league, several weeks hence, and It is
quite probable that Portland will be
classed as both a Northwest Leaguo and
Pacific Coast League city until that
meeting shall definitely settle the prop
osition. , .
Los Angeles is stm hankering for con
tinuous baseball, and to Judge by the ru
mors referred to above. It Is quite prob
able that the "hanker" will be gratified,
and It la also quite probable that the Mo
Credies' consent to such an agreement
will be secured by granting them the
right to enter a team In the Northwest
League, which would serve to place
Portland on the same plane as Los An
geles in being doubly represented upon
the diamond.
However, Seattle's argument, based on
MoCredle's -having signed, drafted or
bought 36 or 87 players for next season,
is of little or no significance as far as
the present Issue is concerned, for It will
be remembered that the Portland team
last Spring was composed of something
like 85 players before the Spring train
ing stunts were commenced.
In the meantime, let us hope that
Walter McCredie will continue to give
out Interviews, and Seattle continue to
initiate Portland Into the Northwest
League, while between times we might
devote a little of our spars attention to
the National campaign.
