CASSBLU If the Northwest has ever produced greater halfback than Dudley R. Clarke, several thousand Portland foot--'ball enthusiasts would appreciate a mention of his name. The story of last year's 17-s Multnomah victory over Oregon fairly reeked with the exploits of this Oregon alumnus, and Thursday, wht-n the winged -M" warriors piled up the second largest score In history againts the collegians from Eugene. It was the lightning attacks of Clarke against the Ineffective right wing of his alma mater that were chiefly re sponsible for the 20-7 victory. . Not so heavy as Wolff and no heavier than Hurlburt. Clarke raged through the Oregon line for nearly one-half of the 272 yards gained during 60 minutes of play by the clubmen. He dashed through the openings In a line as a rabbit seeking a hole in a fence, and then, when openings were not visible, doffed the rabbit disguise for that of ram and battered his way through the human barrier. Clarke Watches Opealaga. Clarke's superiority lies in his abUtty to see the openings. "Watch for the openings, and then strike for them, and strike hard," is his watchword. He darts along tie line, eyes perrlng here and there for the slightest opening, and when he sees It. no matter how small, sip. he darts through, and the yardage sticks are usually moved when he Is back behind the line ready for another assault.- Dividing Individual honors with the 185-pound . halfback in Thursday's struggle was Anson Cornell, the 127 pound Portland midget who plays quarterback for Oregon. Cornell made the longest run of the game for Ore gon, an 13-yard whirl around right end, scored a touchdown on a 20-yard for ward pass after the ends hsd proved unequal to the task of handling the ball and In addition electrified the fans by his slgzag dashes through the Multnomah heavyweights on the return "Football Season Is Too Short -Wonder; Where the "X. m i" ! m m I cabulary consists of "see" and several others "sees." have looked upon It as complacently as a coroner looks upon a corpse. Perhaps a few wise ones have seen the inevltableness of profligacy double-crossing, drinking, carousing and gambling but nine out of ten of them have continued to spend their money as fast as it rolled into the coffers, caring little for the future and saving less.

Father Time was a busy performer In 1912, putting more major league stars onto the minor Jeague special than In any othermpaTgn in more than a decade. One of Pop s earliest victories in 1912 was Old Cy Young, who went South with the Boston Braves in the Spring and then quit, Mordecai Brown, of the Cubs, was also lassoed and sent to Louisville. Eddie Summers, of Detroit was grabbed and Bill Donovan, of the same club finished as manager Nof the Provtdence club Cy Morgan, of the Athletics, took a Brodie to Kansas City, while other pitchers to turn In major league suits were King Cole.

Fogel is not a good sport. POOR, old long, lean, lanky -Larry McLean in trouble again. Between John- Barleycorn and John Hancock, the - larruping ex-Portland ' backstop, who helped McCredie into a pennant in 1906, seems to-be perpetually In par boiling solution. Larry never could stand ' prosperity or popularity. John Bannerman McLean, as it appears in the family dust-covers, seemed never to realize that Daniel was the only man who ever was lionized and came out of It with a whole hide.; Larry has had an interesting and storm-tossed career. A section of his six feet five and one-quarter Inches of perpendicularity was born In Cam bridge, Mass.; July 18, 1882. As early as 1801 he went south with the Boston Americans, that being the first year of the American League. He managed the Halifax. Nova Scotia, team in 1902, and was with the Nashua club in the New half for Oregon, divided honors with Fenton in the sensational forward pass march down : toward the Multnomah goal. Captain Walker played his usual consistent game, while-Cook managed , I .,., th Multnntnah line for sev ,n Ballev at tackle wai eral small gains. Bailey at tackle was the' only Oregon lineman who couia hold the charging Winged M backfleld. During the entire game Oregon gained only 65 yards on straight foot ball. 24 in the first half and 41 in the second. Multnomah gained 272 yards, 118 In -the first half and 154 In the second. "' ' Oregon tried 23 forward passes, nine of which were successful,, for a - total gain of 119 yards. The second-quarter pass of 25 yards was the., longest. Multnomah tried only, four passes, three in the first half and one-.in the second, none of them proving success ful. - ' Oregon's punt-return yardage equaled Multnomah's, despite the greater f re quency.of Oregon puntB. This was chiefly due to the ability of Cornell to dodge the bulkier clubmen. Wolff and Clarke outpunted Fenton, although on one occasion Oregon gained 25 yards on an exchange of kicks, Fenton booting the baU 50 yards and Clarke returning it 26 yards. If you like" the open style of play Oregon's Interpretation of the forward pass pleased you mightily. If you pre fer the line-smashing tactics of the "old army" game, Multnomah gave it to you in-its frequent inspiring rushes down the field.- ' At smI i mmm ' , ... i n. ,-.i,.h,, rl.iK vancguTer oriw;B, v. . ... - - til - - I 1111.

The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland en gaged in a fuss over him in 1903, and after three games at Chicago he was traded with Pitcher Jack Taylor to St. Louis for Mordecai Brown and Jack CNeil. later of Boston. Brown has gone to the minors this year. He played with St. Louis in 1904 and was traded to Portland the following year, remaining here until the Fall of 1906, when Cincinnati purchased him.

The easiest way out of a marriage of that kind Is to have somebody die. Jalie Welsh, who was Mrs. Thomas Carlyle, obliged in that manner In 1865, but she and the great essayist idolized each other with flatirons Jor 39 years before the honeymoon was disillusioned by the grim specter. Before their mar riage, in 1826, Carlyle wrote to a friend: These women of genius are the very devil." Similarly Mrs. Altrock re ferred to Nick's lines of action as "cheap comedy," and, judging from her divorce testimony, she slightly inflect ed the .cheap. Mrs. Carlyle at that early " date penned - some ' advice to gauge the future mates of greatness. Wrote she: "Let no woman who values peace of mind marry an author." Alt rock's authoring ceased about the time of his last world's series pitching un der Fielder-'J ones, but the spark of genius presumably remained with him all these years. ; ; - 'If the writer has the right edge on the old literature record sheet.

They should bring In close to $2000 more. The Albany game proved a life saver for both Oregon and the Oregon Ag gies. Oregon made $600 on the Wash ington trip, $50 on the Willamette game at Eugene and lost $260 over the guar antees on the trips to Whitman and Washington State College.- The Aggie game at Albany .netted about $1800 apiece and the Thanksgiving game with Multnomah- $2000, making . a .total of $3800. - - ' oiTsettin- this - were expense Items of $2000 for coaching, $600 for equip mont. 1100 for sweaters. $100 for train Ing table, $200 for scouting, other in cidentals bringing the debit side up to about $3000.

Mrs. Carlyle had a case of "nerves," possessed a sensitive nature, was high-strung and of doubtful tem per, but . Tommy was worse than that. Once Mrs. Carlyle tried to sew in the same room where her husband was writing. He growled because the nee dle made too much noise and disturbed his thoughts. He differed in this in stance from Altrock because Nick never got close enough to the stuff that ap peared under his name to have any thoughts. Anyway, -Mrs. Carlyle stopped sew ing, but soon he roared: "Jane, I can hear you breathing." He hated to shave. So he raised a beard. Jane told an acquaintance that the time he for merly spent in shaving he later occu pied by complaining of the world In general. So they put in 30 or 40 happy years. Recounting old history, one longs to get them both by the neck and shake them good. Yet after her death Carlyle put up loud, despairing lamen tation. And Jennie had the last word, too, for after her death Carlyle got hold of her diary and read a series of bitter, scathing denunciations hurled against himself. Reviewing the world in gen eral, Carlyle and Altrock in particular, besides several others close at hand, one is compelled to ask the old conun drum. "What's the use?" EVERY time Ty Cobb beat out a bunt or planked a safe drive last year, he rung up $39.65 on the family cash register. In 1911 he made 248 blngles for which he received an average of 36.29, and In 1910 he aver aged 345.92 per hit. If Cobb were being paid for hits alone, his most profitable year would have been 1910. That year he banged out 196 hits at a salary of 39000. In the last three years Ty has made 671 hits, which, at $27,000 in salary, fig ures down to over $40 per safe swat.- At the Ty Cobb rate, Howard Baker, third baseman on" the Portland Coasters the latter part of 1912, would have been forced to cultivate the brakebeams when the season ended Oc tober 27. WHEN Walter McCredie attended : the National minor league ses sion at Milwaukee a fortnight ago he pulled a peregr inatlon worthy of a Dr. Jekyl and a Mr. Hyde. When North western league roll-call drifted along Fielder Jones bawled out among others present "W. H. McCredie. Portland." A little later Al Baum took his turn and "Walter McCredie. Portland" was the message the Coast League executive sent quivering into the minute books. Mac seems to have made the most game on Multnomah Field checked In yesterday at exactly $5067. The esti mates that night were close for Dow Walker guessed $5000. At Seattle the Thanksgiving game shattered all Turkey day records there. In round numbers $7000 was taken in, against $6200, the previous high mark. The crowd was close to 6600, but a big percentage was made up of students who possessed cheap tickets. That gate gave Zednick a new lease on happiness for it put film $2500 ahead of the game, or $700 over any previous season's profit. , VAKXELJi PICKS STAB ELEVEX Referee of Eight Conference Gaines Selects AIl-"orthwest.' , SPOKANE, Wash., Nov.

OXE MOKE TEAM IS NEEDED Portland Indoor Baseball League . , May Be Revived Soon. Provided another indoor baseball team can be secured, the Portland In door Basebafl- League will be revived with games starting next Sunday. Early in the Fall there seemed to be a lack of Interest in the game, and all talk of the league died out. Now the diamond men are becoming restless and the league will, in all probability, be started without delay. . Marshall-Wells, one of the teams last season, cannot secure enough men to make a nine, and as a result another Is being sought. The Spokane. Port land 4 Seattle Railway nine, the W. P.

He tells a good one on Billy Frlel. Mil waukee third Backer. . Behind third base in Milwaukee thers congregates a clique of fans whose names are not Murphy, McGann, Mcin tosh, O'Rourke or O'Connor. Jimmy Burke made that discovery soon after he tried to hold down the torrid cor ner. Messieurs Lautenschlaugger Krutchmeyer and some others did not approve of Mr. Burke, and so Burke was traded. : Then came Frlel of the same Inflam mable ancestry. Tom Andrews, sport ing editor of the Leader, became obessed of the happy Idea. "Let's fix it for Frlel with those troublesome third base fans," said the boxing bug. "What do you suggest?" queried the club owners. The next day Tom announced that "August" Frlel had been secured to play third base In Burke's place. One week later the crowd could be heard loudly proclaiming: "Fine vork Awgoost. Dat's de veyl Hid "em or. der nose!" And August Frlel has been popular in Milwaukee ever since. The moral seems to favor a change in Bill Rodgers' - monaker to "Gyp the Blood." A PHILADELPHIA sporting para grapher says: "They can revise the football rules, new players may come and go and coaches may devise startling deviations and departures In the way of trick plays, but nothing avails to banish, from newspaper accounts of gridiron struggles such bits of original descrip tion as: "Hit the line like a battering Tara. 'Yale beef and brawn opposed Princeton's craft. "The line held like a stone wall. "The Tiger clawed the Bull-dog's tail." ' In another column the same writer covers a local game, and perusing closely, I find these choice morsels of sulphuric phraseology: "Outweighed but not outgamed. they fought with tooth and nail for the honor of alma mater. "His skilled toe gained many yards for the Jeffersons. "Crashed through the defense like a 13-lnch gun." i This critic's brand of pile-driving re finement is unpleasant for parties who get their toes under the process. WHILE the Northwestern College heads are scratching their pallid brows at Walla Walla December 21 and 22 seeking legislation against Carlisle athletes the Mexican article should be played with a copper, too. Section 21 of the existing agreement succinctly provides that the athletic managements shall, within one week after the first day of enrollment, file with the secretary of the conference a. list of all men who are candidates for the football team, together with data as to place from which candidate en rolled, also the institution in which the candidate received his previous athletic experience. Yet this Fall, perhaps, not half the colleges complied with the rules on scheduled time. Washington protested two Idaho players after Griff's war riors had come on the field ready for the game and Zednick's alibi was that he did not have the "dope" on the men until that afternoon. If the managements would see. to it that their lists were, filed on time there would be no excuse for this particular 'ninth-hour protest' brand of good fel lowship. SAN FRANCISCO fans are worrying about Matty Mclntyre," outfielder, who has announced that he will not play ball in 1913.

Willie Hoppe has announced his retirement from billiards: Frank Gotch will never tangle another toe-hold; Mary Garden is down on grand opera; Walter McCredie has quit using hair restorer, and Bernhardt is soured on Camllle.
