Latourette figured in two other touchdowna that were presented to the Dobie-acorlns ma chine on a silver platter the third, when Sutton blocked a punt behind freon' goal line In the aecond quar ter and fell on the oval, and the final x-ore tn the fourth quarter, when Washington recovered Latourette'a only fumble on the lS-yard line and ahored Wand over the frontier. ftrem OalwlileJ kjr Trlefc. The Oregon fleld iteneral rtartled the l'.ngertna; hopea In the spectators two or three times with magnificent re turna down the field, annexing SO yarda on on occasion In the third quarter after a kick. But the bosa of a vlc torloua band always looka better than the loser, and Coyle will undoubtedly he awarded the una'nlmoua all-Northwestern plum. In aplte of hla superlor Ity tn this department. The icame showed no wonderful foot ball tactH-a. although there waa Just enouch of the unexpected and the spec tacular to keep the fans In a state of nervous prostration throughout. The one arreat surprise, the proverbial nl Er In the woodpile," waa sprung by the northerners In the second quarter, with what effect I veneea can best be Judged from the score, for It netted the purple and Bold the second touchdown after two and one-half minutes of play. The freaky maneuver was a fake end run on the left extremity. Center Pres ley concealing; the ball under his body until every Oregon semblance of de fens had been hastily shifted to meet Joyle's terrific rush to the Rrandstand. Sew filsarr Quickly TO. Then, with a clear field, the pill was tossed to Right End Sutton for a JS ard spurt to the coal line with five men artlnR as a torpedo-destroying; vans-uard to buckle Into the mythical .nerny. Coyle kicked Roa! and brouRht the core II to 0. The first half ended 17 to , the third touchdown resulting from the Mocked kick before referred o. after Oregon held In the shadow of lie a-oal sticks. Bliss and Coyle had opped off tea yards apiece from the -ntrr of the field, a forward pass. Hits to button, netting 20 yards, and everal gain by Murklestone and Wand tell the preliminary throe. Tr son perhaps had a shade the bet ter of the thlrd-uuarter argument, but It was only the lull before the storm. The Seattle horde came back In the fourth and scored two more touch Inwns. A IS-yard gain on a delayed forward pass. Murklestone to Grimm, mad the f!r.t possible, Mucklestone l itlnx the spheroid across the goal. t'nai'h Warner hustled In several sub stitutes at this stage of the soiree. Kenton replied Chandler at end and Klier went In at fullback, and had It not been for Latourette's untimely fumble of a punt on his own lS-yard line Just before the final whistle. Wash ington would probably not have scored Rrsjaev atar mt l.eerrm. Want carried the ball and Coyle made his record four goals In five by ending the ball siur-ly through the pwi for tne f.nal scire of 29 to 3. A slseup of the situation seems to Indicate that Washington had the edge en trie Icmon-ycliow In nearly every position. Hrailihaw, the HS&pouni sophomore, was the ote exception.

Thla dis position waa graphically Illustrated after Walker got away on a 30-yard gain on a fake-klck delayed paaa In the third quarter. I don't know that Washington waa any stronger than I figured, but I must say my team waa very much weaker." commented Coach Warner of the losing quad after the game. "During the first half aeveral of the men seemed to be stage-struck. Captain Main was kicked In the head early In the first quarter and waa out of hla mind a part of the ttm-.

But aside from that It waa a nice game of football, and with the field fairly dry. the day crisp and clear, everybody had a lovely time. Notes of the Game. It Is a misfortune to the manage ment that the admission fees from the housetops and signboards surrounding the Hold could not be collected. One telephone pole hud no fewer than a doxen sectators on It, while a hotel at Washington and Stout streets had 42 persona on Its roof. The signboards carried loads that threatened tneir ae structlon. The Multnomah Club l.ulld Ing had a crowd on the roof ind porches. Field Judge Boyd decided to ua I pillow Instead of the customary hand kerchief. He auld he did ao because the usual 20-yard sign waa not c'n aplcuous enough. Mucklestone started for the pillow on one occasion, but fell down Ave feet from It, being laid out. If the Oregon rooters had spread a little more ribbon confetti on the field while they were about it. they might have tied the Washington team up completely. As It was. It served only to entangle the feet of the opponents, one of whom missed a tackle on this ac count, letting an Oregon man by for a train of three yards. Kullbark Jones, of the Oregon team, who was taken out at he beginning of the second half on account of an In jured ankle. as reported last night aa having recovered. PROMINENT MEN HERE STATE AXD CITY OFFICIALS SEE BIG FOOTBALL GAME. Old Graduates and Former Heroes of Gridiron Wltneas and Comment on Oregon' Plucky Fight. Distinguished visitors from three states. Oregon. Washington and Idaho, were Tort land guests yesterday, the occasion being the championship bat tle with the Oregon and Washington football squads. Governor West, of Oregon: Secretary of State Kay, Mayor Pilling, of Seattle: Mayor Rush light, of Portland: Coach Dolan. of the Oregon Agricultural College, and Dr. O. J. Sweetland. of Willamette Uni versity, were among the Interested spectators. Old graduates and former heroes of many a scrimmage on the gridirons of the Nation swelled the crowd. "It was one of the most Interesting games I ever saw." said Governor West. "I regret very much that Oregon could not have won. for the boys fought a mighty plucky game. Here's for better luck next time." "It waa a better game than the score would Indicate." eald Sir. Kay. "Wash ington waa lucky In recovering fumbles, and blocking kicks. The Washington backfleld. however, was too much for Oregon." "Washington has the better team unquestionably." declared President Campbell, of the University of Oregon, "but I am proud of the fight our lads put up. It was a good, interesting game throughout." Coach Polan. of the "Aggies." waa naturally hoping Oregon might win. but after It waa all over he could not resist the temptation to remark that perhaps now the fans wouldn't be so severe on hla 162-pound tram for losing ty 34 to 0 to Washington. "That Washington team weighs 180 pounds If It weighs sn ounce," re marked Dolan. "Ionle's weighs are a Joke. Grimm, at end. tips the beam at 200 pounds. I am sure, and othera In proportion. I think Latourette played a wonderful game under handicaps." Ir. Sweetland. of the Salem achool. said: "Oregon has a good team and Coaches Warner and Hunt have done well with It. Just because Oregon lost by a con siderable margin does not signify that those connected with It should have reason to teel ashamed. There must always be a loser. If a man should lose after wrestling Frank Gotch for an hour he would still be an excep tional man. although a loser. The con test was clean and fairly played and well officiated." Trainer Bill Hayward of the Oregon squad waa sadly disappointed. "Bill" expressed surprise at the power of the Washington eleven. Referee Varnell, who handled the game In excellent fashion, was like wise surprised at the one-aldedness of. the score. GIPSY SEES BIG GAME FVAXGF.MST INTERESTED EVEX IF II K DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

Th Oregon Washington game waa the first the evangelist has seen tn its entirety la this country. He saw part of the Washington-Oregon Agricultural Col lege contest at Seattle two weeks ago. "I don't think a man can hardly be expected to know the rules when he has seen but two games." said th Glpsv. after the gridiron contest, "Now, I have seen many games of Associa tion and Kueby football in Kngland and know something of th sport. I approve of all kinds of healthy ath letics when you ran bar th undesirable features, such as the gambling and the rouglwiesa." The Gipsy admitted that be saw no signs of a betting ring at Multnomah Field, quite a common feature at league grounda In Kngland.

The cold, unpalhted facts are bad enough without stretch ing them. Anyhow those Washington boys are wonders. I called them highbinders at the outset, now I will call them gentle men, and then highwaymen, for they certainly put It all over us good and plenty, and they can stand a little "plsen" in the hour of their triumph. Again, how did It happenf Well, the field of sawdust, and mud, was divided into halves, with a "dingus" at each end that looks like a wireless appa ratus. One of these belonged to Ore gon, the other to Washington. The whole trouble was that Washington kept the ball too close to our end of the field. That was the entire csuse of the disaster, hence these teara. hence these sobs and these weeps that will keep the most of the 10.000 who saw the carnage awake over Sunday. Manl. festly that was unfair, so I may Bay those derned Seattle boys robbed us. Again I will call them htghblndera and highwaymen. Why did they not play a gentlemanly gameT Why did they roll our boys In the mud? Why was it that whenever one of our boys grabbed the ball and started with it toward Seattle that one ef their cowardly players would grab him around the legs and mix him up in the mud? Is that the much-vaunted Seattle spirit? Kor shame! Why. our boys did not treat you that way. No, our boys treated your boys, those Se attle boys, like ladles, quite tenderly, quite as visitors snould be treated; we didn't musa you up even a little bit. "The demnltlon total" was i9 to S.

Coming right down to the mtat of the subject the difficulty was all the result of too much color. All of that yellow Just queered our boys from the very start, made them color-blind so that they got mixed In their directions and mixed in their footing and kept going toward the wrong dingiis. In other words too much yellow bunting and too many yellow flags sort of hoodooed them. Writing from a scientific standpoint I allege, allege without fear of contra diction, that another cause of our de feat was that the Seatt'e boys had the stlbblns on us. and Oregon lacked the stibblns to go at them and do things to them. Scientifically that was the whole trouble, too much stlbblns against us. too little stlbblns for us. Just what the word stibblns means. I do not know; nobody knows. But I feel quite sure Oregon can wipe the earth with Washington next year if they ac quire a little of it. From 19a to 1U09 the acres of potatoes harvested In Maine Increased 61.0"3. or S per ct-nt.

WRIGGLY HULA HULA IS HIT Ximble Youth AVho Directs 'W Line In Gertrude Hoffman Snaken tine Step Is Hailed as All America n Yell Master. BT GEORGE CECIL COWING. Washington defeated Oregon yester day, 29 yells to 3. It was a very one-sided game. Ore gon suffered a serious attack of bron chial trouble, due to a rush of Wash ington scores to the goals, and at times was unable to speak above a whisper. Washington scored yell after yell tn the first part of the game and be tween halves clearly outdistanced its opponents by a remarkable trick-evolution that out-Hofmanned Gertrude. Yell for yell, Oregon was out-generaled. After Washington Grizzly-Beared all over the lot, while the teams were washing their faces In the club-house, the Oregon yell leaders mustered their forces on the field and sought to regain their lost ground. Armed to the teeth with confetti, they tried to turn the tide of defeat into victory. They spelled "O" in the sawdust with con fetti and followed It with a lightning pyrotechnlcal display, but it was no use; memory of Washington's hula hula dance lingered in the mind. Hula Hula Leader Wlna Spurs. This hula-hula dance was one of the best plays ever seen on a football gridiron. The undergraduate in charge of this crushing maneuver is hereby selected for captain of the All-Amerl-can yell team. Other competent Judges, like George M. Cohan. Ruth St. Dennis, Pat Rooney and Sophie Tucker, would say the same had they been at Mult nomah Field yesterday. The hula-hula number was the climax of the piece. There had been several exchanges of small fire between the Oregon rooters on the west, in front of the grandstand, and the Washington rooters on the east. In the bleachers. No casualties. One of the Oregon yell captains was slightly wounded, how ever, by a flank volley of noise from the grandstand. He recovered his voice later and finished the game, though. Then came the telling play between halves. The All-Amerlcan yell captain led his purple and gold forces out on the arena, in swaying single file. The Washington band played that stirring battle hymn, "Alexander's Ragtime Band." The long line of rooters snak entlned up and down the field several times, with an I'd-rather-rag-than-waltz-dear movement. Orearon Simply Oat-Danced. The ballet concluded with the forma tion of the letters "O" for Oregon and "W" for Washington. Yells were scoring so fast at this Juncture that it was almost Impossible to keep track of them. Satisfied with this perform ance, the All-Amerlcan yell captain wriggled his army back Into the blue seats again, and Oregon took its turn. Oregon out-numbered the enemy but was unable to recover the lead snatched by the purple and gold. The lemon yellow men couldn't dance as well as the other fellows. They were out ragged. There's the thing in a nut shell. Oregon did pull off one trick yell, though, that surprised the invaders and showed a fine flash of Kugene form. The trick yell was this: Instead of shouting "raw. raw, raw" and tacking on the name of player to whom the tri bute was intended, they yelled "ray, ray, ray." This play, so new and unex pected, silenced the Washington men for aulte a time. The enemy was ap palled by the Eugene delegation's daring. It was a good Idea, saying "ray" when, as every one knows, "raw" Is the word. The trapeeze performers, aerlallsts and clog dancers were the greatest yell gainers for Washington. Really, they might be vsaid to have been re sponsible for the yell victory. Time after time, these gymnasts, by their antics, threw consternation In the Eugene yell line. It was a great day for yells. Pillow Knsrrosses Fair Rooters. Yesterday's exhibition waa perhaps the best combination of football and vaudeville that Portland has ever seen. A great show with something going on in the three rings ana tne eievaiea stage every minute. Two fair be-ribboned spectators in section G of the grandstand said they thought that, besides the All-Amerlcan yell captain, there was another per former worthy of Individual mention. He elicited much interest from the fair sex. which busied itself during the afternoon trying to figure out what his role was. lie wore a white sweater and carried a white pillow around the fleld. Yet he never rested upon it, or did he offer It to the players. "I think that he might give the pil low to that tired player on the end," said one of the women. Somebody explained that he was the field ludfte and that part of his work was toting the pillow so that "I don't care, sala tne rair one, i think he is mean not to let anyone use the pillow, as he don't seem to use it himself." When an Oregon player made a grand run In the second half, a portly man. also in G. forgot it was football. "Who was that?" he asked excitedly, "Buddy Ryan?"
