I On the poor showing made by the fnlversliy of I laho at .Moscow last Sat urdar. when the northern learn was de feated bv 'Whitman by the rloclslye score of .'.0 to S In the first intercol legiate -onforence game of t!ie 1919 .eaxon it now looks as though the first named university ran this early be rn ldere,l prarllrally out of the running 'or the Northwest conference football lhampionship. It will not take much of a compari son of the work of the two teams to ow that the statement Is not a rash one. Whitman by a display of per fect teamwork. coupled with tho phenomenal playing of the captain and halfback. Vincent Rorleske. simply rushed the Idaho eleven off Its feet. In.dolr: this, however, the Mission aries wre only coming up to the real class they showed towards the end of last season. Rorleskes kicking and long runs had much to do with the bigness of the score at Moscow, for the Whitman captain kicked four goals rrom placement in the first half, thus equalling the remarkable kicking record made there last year by Fred Moullen. of Oregon, whose four field goals for a total of IS points saved one Of the fiercest Northwest football bat tles ever fought for the Oregonlans the total score that day was 4S points. 17 for Oregon and 21 for. Trinho. There was little evidence last Saturday, how ever, to warrant the assertion made by some writers that Whitman Is In any way a one-man aggregation. Borleske'a brilliant plays were made possible by splendid interference and teamwork. Idaho- ;ork Ragged. Idaho, on the other hand, played rag gedly. While several of her men Rave promise Individually of being stars, the work of the team Itself was mediocre. Wltn only four or five old players, a hard and full schedule, and the short time he has had since the -beginning of the season to teach football to his Inexperienced players. Coach Grogan really could not have been expected to do much better. Idaho's three remaining- conference frames will all be hard ones. As this Is written Idaho is playing the nlversity of Washington at Spo kane in the latter's first heavy Kama of the year. All indications point to a Washington victory by a comfortable score. Washington outweighs Idaho nearly ten pounds, and. although in various practice games the eleven has not been quite as aggressive as was to be exrected from last year's cham pions. Coach Doble has undoubtedly been savins many of his best plays to spring for the first time against his conference rivals. Eakins. the dash Ins; punter, and Captain Mucklestone. who have both been laid out with in juries, wi.l play in this pa me. Eakin's klck.ng abilities would boost the chances of any team by 15 per cent. ' Great Interest attaches to the result of the Whitman O. A. C. (tame, won Friday at V alia Walla by O. A. C. 10 to . By this victory the Missionaries are not so derided a factor in the championship race as they seemed, but till the Washington-Whitman frame at Seattle November may be one of the decisive games of the season. Whit man's style of play Is thoroughly known, but O. A. C. Is still somewhat of a dark horse in this respect. Judging from their rather indifferent showing in rectnt practice games, however, the Oregon Aggies did mighty well to win from Whitman. That the game was played on a very wet field was im mensely to O. A. C.'s advantage, for the Idaho game showed Whitman to be much better at end runs and snappy trick plays than in straight wet weather football. ' O. A. C. Is Patched X'p. This victory makes the Aggies' chances against Washington November 13 look rather different. During the past week it was reported that Wallace and Oavls. the big linemen who quit on Coach Metzger earlier In the season, have returned to practice, and there is a possibility that Wolff may patch up his troubles with the coach and get back in the game also. These changes, of course, will add vastly to O. A. C.'s playing ability. With no hard game for two weeks after raeettng Whitman. tie team may become more dangerous '.han Washington is counting on. Oregon and the Multnomah Club will play at Eugene next Saturday. This will be the first time in five years' they have met outside of Portland. Just now Oregon appears to be In superb condition to play any team In the Northwest, while Multnomah has, showed all Its old spirit ' !n recent games, and wrth Jack Latour ttte. the old Oregon star, directing the team from the quarterback position, the clubs chances are vastly Improved. Whether Ltourette, Templeton and Ker ron will play against their alma mater, however, is not certain. If they do not, Oregon should win. If they do play well. It might be anybody's game, with the chances somewhat In favo? of the roliege aggregation, with its better ad vantages for training. Anyway. It gives promise of being a hard-fought game, as tames between Oregon and M. A. A. C. ilway are. -With two snieh masters of football strategy a Clarke and Latour tte for field .captains, it will be interest ng from the blowing of the whistle. Excursion for Game. As this is tha only game Oregon plays with Multnomah this season, many Port Anders will take the trip to the univer sity town. Special one and one-third round-trip rates have been granted by ;h Southern Pacific for the occasion. Th4s game will also give the football fans their first real line on the kind of football machine Forbes bas got to gether and the work he Is getting out of It.

OLD FAVORITES GREETED wi'.l also give a good indication of her chances against Idaho on Multnomah Field the following Saturday. Oregon will enter this Idaho game wit.i the peculiar advantage of knowing ex actly how hard she must play during the season to win the championship. It will be the first conference game of the sea son for the Oregonians and the last for Idaho. By tha.t time Washington will have played Idaho and her most formida ble Northern1 opponent at present. Whit man, and the "Washingtonlana play O. A. C. the same day. O. A. C. will also have played Whitman, while Pullman will have fought It out with. Idaho. The battle for the chamjionhlp will thus be narrowed down to about two universities before Oregon goes on the field, for, counting the victory of O." A. C. over "Whitman and supposing that Washington wins from Idaho, one of these teams will be elim inated by the Washington-Whitman game in Seattle this week, unless It should be a scoreless contest. Oregon In Final Struggle. In case Washington wins thin game, the final struggle for the championship will undoubtedly be between Washington and Oregon. The two old rivals would fight It out In their big Thanksgiving game at Seattle. If Whitman should put over a surprise on the Washington university and come out on top. the championship would then lie between Whitman, Oregon and Pullman. The latter team plays only two conference games, meeting Idaho Friday and Whitman Thanksgiving. But whatever happens in these prelim inary games, the Oregon players will know Just what Is up. to them when they buck up against Idaho. This game promises to be the most Interesting that Portland will see this year. It in the only intercollegiate game to be played there. While Oregon Just now seems to have vastly better chances of winning, the Idaho coach may be able to do much In smoothing the fhgged team work of his men before that day. And Idaho al ways fights fiercely against Oregon, though In the four years the two varsi ties have played each other Oregon ha never lost. Turning from the teams and players. It Is Interesting to noto the men who are officiating at the conference football games this season. One of the best known of the officials Is Victor M. Place, of Seattle.- who coached the Washington varsity In '06 and "07 and last year coached Notre Dame. Place is an old Dartmouth player and knows the game thoroughly. He is equally good as referee or umpire. Old Players as Officials. The officials of the coming Oregon Idaho game will be chosen from four names submitted by the managers of the two teams. The names are those of Place. Oliver H. Cutts, "Big Tom" Mc Donald and R. N. Hockenberry, of Port land. Hockenberry is perhaps the best known here. He is a graduate of Syra cuse and the present Is his fourth season as an official. He is particularly good as an umpire and officiated In that ca pacity at the Idaho-Whitman game. Oli ver H. Cutts is the famous Harvard tackle of "01. He also coached the Uni versity at Washington some years ago. Cutts Is one of the best referees in the Northwest and in the three years he has been acting as an official has always given satisfaction. "Big Tom"' McDon ald W the old Washington guard, now a member of the SeatUe Athletic Club.- His specialty is umpiring. W. Lair Thompson, now a prominent lawyer at Lakevlew, several years ago was one of the best referees in the Nort.1 west. While Thompson is too busy to devote much time to football Just now, he may be asked to take the whistle for some of the local games. John R. Bender, of Spokane, head coach last year for Pullman, a Nebraska Uni versity man, is well known as an um pire. Dorsey M. Hill, County Clerk of Walla Walla County, an old Portland University player, is another good offi cial. Hugh J. Boyd, formerly of Stan ford, now an inatructqr In the Lincoln High School, is a good referee and a par ticularly good field Judge and head lines man, who will be seen in that capacity during the season. One of the best head linesmen in the Northwest today is "Pat" McArthur, Speaker of the Oregon House of Repre sentatives and private secretary to Gov ernor Benson." For several years Mc Arthur wrote the "Referee" football column lb The Oregonlan and Is a close student of the game. He was formerly manager of the . University of Oregon football team and even now takes a keen Interest In "its position. McArthur is a good referee and umpire, but prefers the head linesman position, and will proba bly be seen there at the Oregon-Idaho game. .' JEFF TAKES TO MOUNTAINS Boilermaker to Begin Training at Once for Big Fight. NEW YORK. Oct. SO. flames J. Jef fries will not accept any theatrical en gagements between now and the time he fights Jack Johnson, but will retire to the mountains of California and de vote the entire period to active and systematic training for the champion ship battle, according to Sam Berger, his manager. Following the signing of articles to fight, it was reported that Jeffries had been offered $80,000 for eight months on the stage, to begin at once. Jeffries has not decided Just when he will go to California, but it Is be lieved that he will remain in the East, continuing his training In a gymnasium until December 1, when the bids for the fight will be opened. . Jack Johnson and his 'manager, George Little, start for Chicago today, and will arrange for a long theatrical season before the fight. Although Jef fries refused to "meet" the negro cham pion at the conference yesterday, or to even speak to him, the negro was in good humor all the time. Several batteries of flashlights had been shot off for the newspaper cam eras, and the room was still filled with smoke when other photographers pro posed setting off their flashlights. Just then the hotel manager cried: "Wait until the smoke gets out." "Aln yuh goln' gimme a chance, gen mun, to sign up?" said Johnson quickly., Everybody, laughed and the hotel manager ordered a case of wine.

METZGER MY COACH BRINGS ORDER AND WINNING TEAM OUT OF GREEN SQUAD. Changes Made In Line-up Are Con sidered Responsible for Victory Over Whitman Eleven. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallls, Oct. 30. (Special.) Metz ger's team has shown more Improve ment in the three days available for work this week than it has made In any previous two weeks. The team has worked like a machine, and the plays have , been executed with a degree of snap and precision that is seldom seen at this time In the season. It is being whispered about the campus that the wily coach has had this trick up his sleeve all season, and that it ta not the first time that he has converted a seemlnJy disorganized squad Into a powerful fighting machine almost on the eve of a hard battle. He Is reported to have done the same trick with the Quaker team last year. Changes made in the line-up this week had something to do with the Im provement in the team work. The most, significant change was in sending Gil bert out to end and putting Reynolds in his place at quarter. As soon as the little La Grande lad took charge of the team the nervousness which always prevailed when Gilbert was in command disappeared, and the men settled down like a band of veterans. With Gilbert available as an end rush, another situation which has threatened, to be a serious menace to the success of the team has been greatly Improved. It has seemed Impossible to develop a pair of ends. Six different men .have been whipped into shape to fill these two important places, only to be lost at the time when they were most needed. Gilbert promises to develop into a good end. With Gilbert. Huntley, Sitton and Brelthaupt to draw from, the ends should now be well protected. " The Whitman game should prove a valuable factor in the development of tne team. The hard fight and the suc cessful issue of the contest should give the new men the experience and the confidence which will put thm at their best for the contests with the two pow erful university teams., FAKE SPORTSMAN ARRAIGNED Chicago Man Suspected of Jobbing With Maybray. CHICAGO, Oct. 3a Thomas Gay, of Streator, 111., charged with swindling James Tierney. of the same city, out of S10.000 by means of a fake wrestling match, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Foote here today.

"We are going after the fight to get it" said Miller, "and are prepared to offer more money if necessary." Miller said he had received no answer from either of the principals. Eddie Collins Raps Out Spectacular Home Run and Other Speedy Plays Are Thrown Into the Matinee. Connie Mack's Philadelphia American League team, and Frank Bancroft's ag gregation of All-Stars from the National League managed to get .in six and one half Innings for the benefit of 1400 Port land fans yesterday afternoon. Even though the elements stopped the game at a 1-to-l tie, the bugs really enjoyed the matlnoe. As in every other branch vof sport, tne fans like to have a decision rendered, but so much good baseball was tossed into yesterday's matinee that the spectators were not disappointed when they ambled for the trolleys after the rain fell so heavily that fy-en Ed Rankin, a native Oregonian, who acted as umpire, at the suggestion of Fielder Jones, decided it was too wet to continue the matinee. Despite the cold and drizzling rain, enough fans were present to give Mike Miixh,.ii a ronsine welcome, and to yell once or twice for Pat Donohue. when he appeared on the sido lines, as well as to chirp a little in the effort to let Heiney uoi.mnr .la.-lc Bliss and Dick Egan know they were not forgotten, even 1 J - Di.flnnJ though tney never nau vvum a 4 x.i x...x. uniform. Fielding Exhibition Good. Tin.4or hs hfst nolnt of yesterday's Wi.a.1. the txitr leasriieVs was the rattling good fielding exhibition put up by the two teams. Tne Ainiencs nave three errors chalked up against them, but none of these counted In the score tallied by the Nationals. To add to the excitement accompany t tho Mmp the Portland bugs were treated to the feat of a man knocking. a dyed-ln-the-wooi nome run on m t ..in 4x tho olntp. Thp nlaver to .t.ih.,to ihii teal wnH Eddla Collins. Mack's great find of the last season. who set the American League agog on his first season out; After two were down in the Athletics" half of the first, Collins landed on one of Curtis' offer ings for a swipe that sent the ball sky rocketing over the right garden wall for one of the longest hits ever made on the Portland lot. As the .Athletics' second-sacker trotted around the bases, the fans became quite boisterous, and many of them, who did not know the athlete's name, yelped for the umpire to announce it. Collins followed his homer by rappfng out a two-bagger on his next appearance at bat, and these were the only long hits' of the game. Mitchell's Hit Ties Score. Larry Doyle, who made himself fa mous as the second baseman of the New York Giants under- Muggsy McGraw, was the shining light of- the National team, though "our own" Mike Mitchell MEN- You have probably been SHAV ING for years without realiz ing what a PLEASTJEE you can make it.

Doyle opened the sixth inning with a clean hit to left field. Dick Kgan sent him to second on a neatly executed sac rifice, which was fielded to Harry Davis by Bender.x This brought MiU-hell up. and Mike had not been able til do .any thing with Bender previously. On tills occasion, however. . Mitchell pasted a beauty past Baker, and Doyle raced home from second on the swat. This hit tied up the score, and so it remained until rain chased players and fans in at the conclusion of the first halt of the seventh. Two speedy doubles by the Nationals. and a dual morguelng. by the Americans, both speedy plays, served to enlighten the Portland buss on the his brush method of handling the ball. The trio of misvues charged the AtlilxMtc. whllx made on comparatively easy chances, can be excused because of the condition of the grounds. Fitcher Curtis, of the National team, received splendid support in addition, to pitching a remarkably steady same, de spite a sore arm. ' Chief Bonder, the Athletics' twirler, has be?n one of Mack s mainstays on tho pitching mound for something over eieht -yeare. and each successive year the former Carlisle stu dent finishes well up in th,o American League pitching percentages. He was especially effective acalnst the Detroit champions last season. Young Plipnom to Twirl. This afternoon Walter Johnson, tho young phenmn. who went to the! Wash ington American Leafr'u team from Welser, Idaho and tho pitcher Fielder Jones says is worth to any base, ball club, will twirl for the National League All-Stars. While he is still a member of the Washington team. John son was secured for the All-Stars hy Frank Bancroft because Ovie Overalf and Chriwty Matthewwn refused to make the trip at the last minute. Mack will send either Cy Morgan or KUdle Plank against the All-Star? to oppose Johnson this afternoon, and If the weather will only behave, Portland fans will see one of tho greatest baseball battles of the year. The visit of these major leacne aggre gations is the first chance Portland has haJ to see big leaguo ball in the last 20 years. Official Score of Game.
