EUGENE. Or- Oct. Z. (Special.) In tha snappiest Inter-scholastlo foot ball game ever seen on Klncald Field. Eugene High this afternoon defeated its old-time rival. Salem High, by the score of i to 0. The single score was made on a fumbled punt. Salem drop ping the ball on Its one-yard line, and Eugene recovering It and carrying It over. Although the Eugene lads were nut weighed 10 pounds to the man. their goal was never In danger. Salem In vaded Eugene territory but twice In the entire game. Salem's gains were largely by line smashes, whue Eugene made yardage by end runs and passes. A feature of the game was the punt Ins; by Gray of Eugene, who averaged between 43 and 50 yards. A special train of four coaches brought an enthusiastic contingent of ftm rooters to cheer their team, and a record-breaking crowd turned out from here.

Now that the powerful Inland Empire aggregation has been effectively check mated, tha sealous Oregon supporters are figuring that tha festive Washington-Oregon game In Portland. Novem ber IS. will decide definitely the North west football championship race. It Is not thought that Whitman of Idaho will nip either of the two state university contenders. Nor Is Oregon Agricultural College locally credited as a possibility. The Corvallls crowd has not crossed th University of Oregon's goal line since Dow Walker's freak 105-yard run In 1904. and this year Dolan claims the squad Is not up to the former standards. Everything points to the coming Portland -la.h aa the most critical grid Iron encounter of Northwest history. During the next three weeks every squad man and every campus man will eat. sleep and dream with a fancied plrture of Oregon marching through Washington on Multnomah Field.

The week Just closed marked the be ginning of the grammar school foot ball schedule both In the light and the heavyweight divisions. Some of the teams composed of the school young sters play very good ball while others are much in need of coaching. Failing and Davis school teams gave good exhibitions last week, as also did Hawthorne and Stevens. Irvlngton has as good a team as that which won the grammar school championship last year, but has not yet had a chance to play with any teams that would be able to give them a fair battle. High land was outclassed by Irvlngton both In weight and training, losing by the core of 40 to 0. It has a team that might make trouble for some of the high school second teams. Highland will be reorganised before the next game. The team when finally- woraea into snape may yet give tha former champions a hard fight for the pennant. Woodlawn probably has one of tha poorest organised teams In the league, but' will attemp to make some shifts that will Increase Its effectiveness against Eliot school next Wednesday. This week the schedule will be al most clear after the following games have been played. Stephens and Chap STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL STARS AND COACH, WHOSE TEAM LOST TO OREGON FRIDAY.

Track athletes at the big universities say that cross-country running Is be coming one of the most popular. of out door Fall sports. There was a time when little attention was paid to this branch of athletics, but such is not the case now. College men each year are becoming more and more Interested Judging from the way the different university teams are working for the annual intercollegiate run, which 1s to be held In Brookline November, 25, no one can doubt the sport's popularity. College coaches this year are drill ing their men with one purpose and that Is to down Cornell. Of late years Coach Moakley has been as successful with his hill and dalers as has Coach Courtney with his oarsmen. Cornell stands out as the leader In cross-coun try running and. Judging from tha Ithacans' present outlook, it already begins to look as If Cornell again will capture the Intercollegiate title, al though several other universities are credited with having formidable teams. Cornelllans aro Interested more In the sport than other college men. Moakley. as a rule, generally has the largest squad to pick from and maybe that Is the reason why he has been so successful. Princeton, Harvard, Penn sylvania, Talc, Dartmouth and others are displaying a different spirit than they did in past years. That they are paying more attention to cross-country running la evidenced by the fact that more men try for the teams now than was the case In the past. I CLASSES FDR GH; PREPARE M COMBAT February and June Seniors Hurl Challenges for Struggle on Football Field. DIRE WARNINGS ARE HEARD Inflnltesimalness of Opponents la Burden of Exchanged Pcfiances. Leaders Whip 5Ien Into Shape for GAino to Be Played Soon. Interclass football, which occasion ally breaks out between the rival sen ior classes In high schoool, has made a spasmoaic appearance at Lincoln High c.Uoui. me nvniry mm year mas iair to arouse considerable strife, but In- stead of allowing the superabundance of class spirit to take the form of "rough-housing" with the resulting smashed noses and swollen lips and damaged optics, the Issue will be con tested upon the football field. Patriotic delegations on both sides have Issued challenges. Here are the burning words which the clnss of Juno, 1912. has hurled at their rivals, of tho class of February. 112: "Challenge to the dogs of February. 1912! ! ! Dogs of 1912! The hand of Fate has stopped on Its weary way. It points at you! Vour vile slanders and shameless aspersions are thrown back Into your very teeth. Oh. ye verdant. blustering, blundering Febs! Beware!! On a day appointed by your Insignifi cant selves, you will be huddled into a swarming mass of nothingness, whose very existence may be desig nated by the smallest dot. Tou will be come as a aero with the rim knocked oft! Tou will be as midgets compared to the smallest mustard seed! Infinite ly less than the tiny omoeba! Weaker than a gnat or an ant! Less fit to live than a louse! Death Summons Made. "That mighty day Is coming! Pre pare! It will be your day of reckoning! Beware! Football you must play with the Junes of 1912. Let your feeble knees shake, your lips quiver, your teeth chatter, your very hair stand on end! It Is the hand of Fate! greater than you have feared and stronger than you have shrunk from this awful terror what can weaklings do? "Set the day choose the place we will do the rest. Obey and die, like dogs. "AnthropagI of June, 1912." The class of February. 1912, being moved to a towering rage by these pre sumptuous words, immediately began preparations for war. It was decided to wreak quick and powerful venge ance on tne upstarts or June, iiz, ana to wage contest without quarter until every man opposing Is ruthlessly exter minated and banished from the face of the earth. Frederick Reld was elected to be captain and manager of the pro posed team, and an answer was imme diately composed to the challenge. The answer follows: Discretion la Tenor. "June Class: "Lend your ears, ye denizens of room IS,-and listen to the wiBdom of your elders: "On Tuesday last, said day being the 23d day of October, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, an epistle, in dicted by some unworthy son of an Anglo-Saxon, entered the sacred pre cincts of room 9. Courtesy demanded that it be read. Impudent slrsl such rauoous discord, such an Insulting, un dignified speech, such foreign, rough and uncouth language is far beneath our notice. We shall reply with all dignity of a class whose reputation Is as long and enviable as Socrates' fifth dissertation on the value of cocoanuts! "Know, then, this is our answer: On such a day and at such a time and placa as shall be agreed upon between your manager and our own, Frederick Cupid Reld, we, the February, 1912 class, will battle with you for the sen ior football supremacy of Lincoln High School. Further, remember, that pride goeth before a fall and Just so surely will the curse of the god of football alight In your camp and render Just punishment for the unprecedented 1m pudence displayed. Bitter Indeed shall you find the sting of defeat. Yet you will find us kind and beneficent adver saries. We have appropriated the mu nificent sum of $5 to buy a suitable casket to bury the remnant of the proud but fallen warrlora of June. 12. "And now farewell. Remember, Feb. 12, has never met defeat! "Signed in blood. Feb., '12." Frederick Reld, manager and captain of the Feb.. '13. team, has hastened to communicate with Fred Stipe, manager of the June, '12, team. Already he has issued the following edict, composed by himself, in which he names the day of the contest: "To the 'bonehead class of June, 1912': "We, the mighty and sage phlloso- phers of the nonpareil class of Feb.. I '12, delg-n to lower ourselves from our sublime height In the ethereal ether to answer your false. Ill-written and idi otic challenge. Beware I You bonehead- . ed bunch, of knock-kneed idiots, ye ' who are unfit to pursue the fleas 01. the tail of a stray mongrel, ye who have aa much backbone as a Jellyfish. ; ye who have as much brains as a mis- ' erable microbe, whose minds move as fast as a fly swimming in a sea of glue; ys whose, officers are as a flock of spiders hiding In the loft of a flea-strlcken doghouse, ye, who, as a whole, are like a herd of petrified lice, again beware!" (Here are in serted drawings of daggers and a pic ture of the triumphant Feb.. '12. stand ing upon the prone body of June, '12.) Date Set Forth. "We, the mighty and noble warriors of the Feb., '12, class Bhall upon the 7th day of November, pick up your measly, insignificant nonentity of a team and, with the aid of all-powerful Jupiter, hurl it to tha depths of Kre bus and the Heights of Callus. We shall treat you as a bowlegged fly with wooden legs would flick away a head less atom. In our grasp your dodder ing excuse for a football team shall be smothered as a fly, shot through the trunk of an elephant, have Its brains dashed out against a molecule of oxy gen. "Revengefully, "The Nonpareil Class to the Bone head Class. "Per Fred Reld." The respective teams are organizing and arrangements for conflict have been executed. The February class has . elected many officials for tha coming , Kame, among whom stand prominently j pusie ralge as yell leader and Leta Rhodes, assistant yell leader. AMATEUR ATHLETICS ' In a strongly contested football game on Multnomah field yesterday morning, the Lincoln High School Midgets de feated the Reservoir Cubs by the score of 11 to 5. Tho Midgets scored In the first min ute of play by an end run play worked by Newhoof, whoso speed completely outwitted the losers. They made their score in the second quarter, when thry again got past the enemy on an end run. Newhoff and J. Mclver were the stars for the winners, while Worthen did the best work for the defeated. R. Mclver did some good yard work for the Lincoln team, making good gains through the line. The line-up of the winners: R. Mclver, center: McDon ald, right guard; Harry, right tackle; Friedman, right end; Osward, left guard; Jabones, left tackle; Weber, left end; J. Mclver. quarterback; New hoff, right half; Kontz, fullback and Smith, left half. Portland Academy having recovered fully from the effects of the Washing ton game has agreed to play Hill Mil itary Academy on Tuesday, on Mult nomah field. The game was scheduled originally for last Wednesday, but due to the many members whe were out of the Portland Academy team on account of minor Injuries, the game was post poned. It is thought a large crowd will be out. "William Blbee, the star end of Jeffer son, has bean suffering from a badly wrenched ankle, but will probably be able to play In the Lincoln game next Friday. Blbee has-been playing hard this season and has made himself one of the most valuable assets of the team and might be mlBsed seriously should he not be able to appear for Jefferson. Carl Wolff, the Hill Military Acad emy team's coach. Is one of the most successful men that the school has ever had In that capacity, probably owing to his popularity with the boys. A number of Hill players. Including Captain Stiles, have declared that Wolff Is one of the best men that they have ever been under. Some of the men are old timers at the game yet, only Jack son and Holden have ever been on the same organization before. Columbus Club football eleven will go to Independence today to play the Independence team, which was defeat ed by the Holladay team of this city, Sunday. Columbus Club has some old stars in the game this season and will probably end the season with more victories than defeats to its credit. GalnelH. one of last year's men, is getting to be one of the fastest halves In the city, according to the fans who have been watching the club at Its nightly practices on the club field. Evers, the big tackle who used to play with the JackleB of the U. S. S. S. Philadelphia, is holding his position in fine style and will prove a hard man to upset. Striblg and Jones, full back and left end respectively, are also around In great shape and will be valuable men. I The beginning of soccer season in the high schools Is but a month off. Port land Academy and Columbia have squads out every day practicing hard In their ' attempt to secure positions. This is contrary to last season when the manager of a soccer team had to beg men to play. Lincoln will have Johnson Tuerck, Goodwin and Schlffer back in the lines, giving Manager Goodwin brilliant pros pects for a successful season. Moore. Olser. Fitzgibbon, Lawrence. Cox. Holcomb, the big center who was badly hurt in football practice some weeks ago. and Henry Hawkins, the brilliant star of last year, are back in the game. Baseball managers are beginning to look about for material to compose the teams. Washington will try out Tllford. formerly of Oregon City, while catcher will have to be developed from new material, as V llson, who cnuarht last year, quit school tnis Spring. Lincoln will nave tovobt. a iormer star from the Tillamook Bay country, and a big southpaw who can show some speed. Practically all tne old team or last year except Patterson will be back to try out ror the nine. i. n. uarman will probably coach. The first soccer game of the season between grammar schools took place Thursday on Multnomah field, when Alnsworth and Portsmouth played a no score game. Portsmouth, however, had the best of the affair. WASHINGTON BAND SENSATION Invaslon'of Vancouver Startles City on Colombia RlTer. Washington High School invaded Vancouver Friday to attend the game, accompanied by the school band. The rooters followed in the rear and marched in serpentine fashion about the streets on the way to the ball' park In front of the Vancouver High School. The manner In which they stormed the city proved a sensation. School yells, sounded on every street corner, brought the inhabitants out of the stores and business places who could not understand the meaning of all the racket. All kinds of expressions and questions were given vent, to by the Vancouverltes. The organization hasonly played to gether once or twice and the symphony concert attempted on the ferry was ear splitting. Some one finally cried, "Throw the band overboard," which caused the members to keep still until this danger was out of reach. It was declared the game was the biggest sen sation Vancouver bad had in years. WASHINGTON HIGH FAVORITE IN RAGE Columbia May Withdraw and Portland Academy Is Be hind Hopelessly. EARL HAS VETERAN TEAM i Games Postponed In Interseholas tlc League Cause Season to Irng Important Match Is Scheduled for Friday. The week past has brought the ln terscholastic football championship race no nearer the close, as two games have been postponed Indefinitely. As Colum- bla has decided not to take up football i a gain on account of the death of Ralph Dimlck. Its coach, the game between. Lincoln High and that team, scheduled for last Friday, will not be staged at all. The other postponed game is the on between Hill and Portland Academy, scheduled for last Thursday, which waa postponed because Portland Academy! did not have time to reorganize toN lowing Its overwhelming defeat bjr Washington High the week before. The date for this contest has been an nounced, and will be played Tuesday, October 31. on Multnomah Field. As Columbia decided to stay out for the rest of the season, the race will be between the three high schools, as Port land Academy will probably not over take the handicap of two defeats under which It is now playing. If Hill hart games with all the schools, there would, be another contender for the teams to consider. Odds Favor Washington. Washington has not played much as yet this year, but odds are somewhat la its favor for the championship. The side-liners may be somewhat Influenced) by former performances, yet from every Indication the team will come out pret ty close to the top. Under the careful coaching of Virgil Earl, Washington Is again turning out a team which many close followers of the sport deolare will eclipse the strongest aggregation the school has ever turned out. The team made an enviable record last year, being unde feated until the Oak Park High School of Chicago beat it by the score of 8 to 6. The nucleus of the team this season consists of men who have played at least a season with the present team. Some hall from outside schools, but ail are veterans at the game of rough and tumble. Xelnon Good Kicker. Some of the fans think that Wash ington has one of the best punters ever produced In Portland in Nelson, the tow-headed full-back. He certainly has been showing good form in the few games In which ha has appeared. Punt- ' lng Is not his only asset, however, as he Is a splendid halfback, with all the qualifications necessary for the suc cessful backfleld man. Sax Is another man behind the line who Is making good. He played part of the Portland Academy game In suoh great form that It is thought that he will be indispensable to Coach Earl . from now on. His forte seems to be finding holes In the enemy's line and getting through for good gains. White also Is pretty sure of a berth on the first team throughout the sea son If he keeps up his work as well as he has started. . Washington will not play in the city for some time, as Its first game Is with Lincoln on November 17. The team plays Salem high next Saturday at Sa lem, this being the only trip that It will take, as Coach Earl thinks that tha games already played and those yet to play are enough. Decisive Game Friday. The week will have only one Impor tant game, unless some of the post poned games are played, that being tha one between Jefferson and Lincoln on Friday. November 3. This will be a de cisive battle as these schools are now nip and tuck in the race for the cham pionship. The team put out by Hill Military Academy has been the surprise of the season. Although the players were , quite confident in themselves, the fans predicted an altogether attrerent ag gregation to represent the military school on the local fields. The eleven has been under the direc tion of two able coaches. Carl Wolff and Joel Emily, both former Oregon Agricultural College stars, the first an all- Northwest tackle in 1909. In tha lineup are several who formerly played with some of the other Portland schools. The three players who did virtually all the work In the victory now to the school's credit, the one over Columbia, were Stiles, Jackson ana Holden. Flolden's Play Improves. Stiles was one of the stars of tha strong team put out by Lincoln High last season. Holden and Jackson are products of Coach Earl's coaching and members of the team which won tha championship In 1910. Holden. although a splendid guard last season, shows that there is always room for improvement and Is playing still better this season. St. Martin, a Hill product, will come In hard In the race for a position on the all-star ag-' gregatlon as an end if he keeps on playing In his present form. Sunnyside 60, Nob Hill 0. Defeating Nob Hill 60 to 0 yesterday. Sunnyside gained the first victory In the Archer & Wiggins League. Handi capped by the weight of the Willam ette Heights team, the Parks went down to defeat, la to 0. i - T . : .7-7 -r-
