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

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

Want carried the ball and Coyle

ending the ball siur-ly through the

Indicate that Washington had the edge

while the officials endeavored to clear

perseverance of a Broadway waiter to

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

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.

Ctpsy Smith went to Multnomah
Field yesterday and grew wildly ex

livered by the- University of Washing
ton eleven to Oregon. 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

The Gipsy admitted that be saw no
signs of a betting ring at Multnomah

league grounda In Kngland.

like exaggeration. 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.

few more halves and quarters. But 29
to t Is going some.
What was the trouble? 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.

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?"
