Multnomah Quarterback Tears Into
Holes Ripped tn Corvallls line
by Winged M Forwards Fum
bles Costly to Local Team.

J" (Referee Multnomah-O. A. C. Cams.)
Two field goals off the trusty boot
y. of Captain Walter Keck won lor tne
n Multnomah Club over the Oregon Ag
Jjj: gies yesterday In the opening major-
trrldiron struggle or tne ftonnwest
The score was 6 to 0.
Frequent penalties and several phys-
i ical tiffs, staged without yueensoerry
dtR-nitv. marred the game. The Aggies
jui. suffered two disqualifications for
i n- roughness, Lutz and Chrisman, and
-it Multnomah one, Convill, being ordered
,.. : to the sidelines. Multnomah lost heav-
i Uy In the distance penalties.
...- While Keek's great booting directly
caused the Corvallls rout. Quarterback
Rodes was the big noise in the Winged
f.nT M camp. This former Naval Academy
?n- star scintillated at every turn. With
Rodes doing most of the carrying, the
vt . - beefy club lineman experienced little
-r.; difficulty in ripping through the wiry
fighters from the state agricultural
school.
tsr Fumbles Costly to Clubmen.
Fumbles and sensational stands by
the visitors when their goal line was
. endangered invariably warded off the
, VI inevitabla touchdown, however, and on
such occasions Dr. Stewart's huskies
used great judgment and booted out of
. danger.
wj, Larsen's punting was a revelation.
Asti. To "Swede's" orthopedic endeavoring
the .Aggies can attribute the low score
piled against them. Larsen booted for
an average close to 35 yards, gaining
from 10 to 15 yards on every change
with Keck and Cobb.
Toward the close the Multnomah
boys showed plainly the signs of fa
tigue, and, but for a fair catch In front
of the O. A. C. goal, there would have
been no place kick in the fourth quar
ter. J.eck caught the ball on the SI
yard line and plunked it squarely be
tween the posts for the last three
points.
Multnomah's first placement In the
initial quarter was a presentation by
wuarierDacK iewey, or tne Aggies. Thl
game little field general was unabl
to hold one of Cobb's spirals on the 30
yard line and . Multnomah recovered,
Keck then exercised his right brogan
ana booted the oval between the posts.
Keek' Average High.
Keek's kicking average was good.
He tailed on two attempts at place
ment in four attempts in the first and
fourth quarters.
Although defeated, the Oregon Ag
gies made hundreds of warm friends
among the 1500 enthusiasts who cheered
lustily in the huge grandstand along
tne west flank of winged M field.
Coach Stewarts team was out
weighed more than ten pounds to the
man, and, in addition to that handicap.
several ol his reliable veterans Shaw
Blackwell, Hofer and Mays were ou
p' of the game as a result of injuries. Bat
tllng against odds the Corvallls huskies
" ' put up a wonderful exhibition, Lutz,
Larsen, Chrisman and Hayes doing
- particularly well. '
nH Clabmea Lack Teamwork.
fli. Multnomah showed a wealth of latent
power, but there was a woeful lack of
f t teamwork among the backfleld men
This can be attributed, of course, to the
hi fact that the clubbers are building up
. an entirely new backfleld. Mucklestone,
Striebig and Keck all broke through
-r for spasmodic gains, but there was
lacking the timely punch of the Clarke
Wolff regime.
Keck negotiated the longest gain of
the day, & 30-yard swing around end
In the line all of Manager Stott'a
huge linemen performed their tasks
well and ably. With a tackle-to-tackle
arrangement averaging close to 200
pounds the Aggies had no chance to
do consistent plunging.
O'Rourke, Convill, Rupert, Philbrook
and Carlson started the game In the
central formation. Both squads used
a small regiment of substitutes and
alternates.
At end the clubbers also seemed to
have an edge on the Corvallis boys. The
Aggies kicked on first down a major
portion of the time, so furnished no
real test for Multnomah's extremity
guardians, but on punts the winged
"M" men Ludlam and Cobb boxed
their rivals rather too consistently for
a nrst-ciass college eleven.
Kicking Features Cmtent.
A great deal of kicking featured the
" . strife, the Aggies punting at every op-
' "" portunity. Both teams tried the for
ward pass, but with only moderate sue
r, , , cess, not one aerial heave being good
... tor a lu-yara gain.
Summing up, the Oregon Aggies
proved quite a surprise to everybody,
They are booked for a return battle
with Multnomah next Saturday at Cor
vallis, and with Abrahams. Mays.
Blackwell and other veteran absentees
back in harness an even closer gam
can De expected.

My team did well. I think, against
great odds. 1 think the score should
have been about 3-0, but 6-0 Is as
close an anybody could expect. They
whipped us last year 8-0 and we.
bad the Indian, Htmer. and all our

them a battle next Saturday. '

will come only by practice. Yratar
day the team was not as strong as it
was one year ago.

GAINS BY RODES LARGES
Punting Duel Kept Up Through
Game With Advantage to Cor
vallis Penalties Keep Mult
- nomah Score low.
With the Multnomah forces deiend
lng the north goal, Lutz kicked off
for the collegians in the first half,
Keck receiving the ball and returning
it five yards. Rodes circled an end
for 20 yards, after which the visitors
held and Keck punted, opening a punt
lng duel, which lasted throughout the
game. Lutz immediately booted to
Rodes and, after an attempt to make
distance through the line. Keck again
kicked. Dewey failed to connect and
the club regained the ball on the Ag
gies' 30-yard line. The Aggies pro
tested that Dewey had not touched the
ball, but Umpire Schmltt stood firm
In his decision.
A forward pass to a man not eligible
to receive It gave the Aggies the ball
and Lutz punted 35 yards to Rodes.
Keck punted 30 yards, Lutz returned
the pigskin 35 and Keck pulled off
long punt for 40 yards. Dewey again
failed to catch the ball and with the
ball In the possession of the clubbers
on the 25-yard line Keck shot over
pretty place kick for the first score.
The remainder of the first quarter
was featured by the policy of both
teams to punt often. O. A. C. kicked
on the first down each time, Larsen,
who did the booting for the Aggies
after Lutz and Convill had been ban
ished from the game for scrapping.
outbooted Cobb, who replaced Keck in
the Club kicking department.
Keck tried for a goal from the 20-
yard line but failed.
Multnomah was twice penalized 16
yards for holding. Had it not been for
these setbacks, the Winged M team
would have surely crossed the O. A. C.
goal, as Stewart a defense was ragged.
The quarter ended with the ball on
the O. A. C. 30-yard line.
Second Quarter.
In the second period, the local line
men repeatedly opened up big holes in
the O. A. C. defense, and the quarter
consisted of repeated gains by Rhodes,
Mucklestone and Ksck, The visitors
tightened in the pinches, however, and
Larsen each time brought his team out
of danger by his punting. Late in the
quarter an end run by Hayes, who
played a good game at half for tne Ag
gies, gave Stewart's boys the required
ten yards In four downs lor the first
time In the game.
After the intermission Keck kicked
off to Moore, who fumbled, giving
Multnomah the ball on the O. A. C. 40
yard line. The Corvallis eleven braced
and got the ball on downs, only to
punt to the club quarter. Striebig went
In for Knapp ana fatterson tor Muckle
stone, and both had little difficulty In
penetrating the Aggie defense.
Long gains tnrougn Dotn tackles
kept the ball in O. A. C. territory most
of the time. The collegians at no time
showed any offensive strength, punt
ing repeatedly on the first down. A 30
yard run by Keck, after the big full
had shot through the Hne, was the
feature of the quarter.
Fourth Quarter.
A 12-yard plunge by Rodes, coupled
by consistent gains by Striebig, gave
the winged M team the ball on the 30-
yard line early in the final' period.
Keck tried for a place kick, but failed.
Larsen punted out from the 20-yard
line, but the Clubbers smashed their
way down the field through Stewart's
ineffective defense, until the Aggies
finally halted them on the 20-yard line.
Larsen punted and the ball popped
up in the air for a scant 15
yards. Keck signaled for a fair
catch, and was awarded a free
kick by the umpire. Coach Stewart
Insisted that the ball had been touched
by a Multnomah player prior to the
catch, which would have forced Mult
nomah to kick from scrimmage forma
tion, but his objection was overruled
by Umpire Schmltt.
Keck lifted the ball squarely - over
the bar for the second and last score
of the game.

NEW POTATO DISCOVERED
Blight-Proof and Frost-Resisting
Vegetable In New Zealand.
AUCKLAND. N. Z., Oct. 1. A new
bllghtproof and frost-resisting potato
has been discovered by John Harris, of
Ohura Road, Raetlhi, N. Z. Tne dis
covery is said to be the most important
one in agriculture for many years, and
the agricultural department of the New
Zealand government has investigated
the phenomenon and admitted that tne
properties claimed for the new potato
are Deyona question.
Harris has been experimenting with
potatoes for years and some time ago
he noticed a healthy stalk growing
among a crop of Northern Stars and
El Dorados, all of which were affected
by blight. He took up the root of the
healthy plant, and, finding it in a per
fect state, began to experiment. The
result is that a potato now called the
New Era has been grown. The plant
was carefully -nourished and tended.
and for several seasons a new crop
was propagated from the seeds of the
previous crop. The variety has been
placed under the closest observation,
but on no occasion has there been the
slightest trace of blight or disease
caused by frost, though the crop
planted next to it has been blackened
by severe cold, and is even now badly
ffected. So strong Is the growth of
the new variety of potato that some
of the tops can be extended to a length
of seven feet. The tubers are the color
of lemons, and from 10 to 11 pounds of
tubers are being taken from a single
stalk. The average yield Is about 19
tons an acre.
Mr. Bayllss, of the government agri
cultural department, has made an In
spectlon of the growing crop, and, al
though he has formed no theory to ex
plain the origin of the New Era, he
admits that the potato is really frost-
resisting and bllghtproof. A frost in
the district where the new potato was
found is no small affair. The land
2000 feet above sea level and the
cold Is often so severe that potato cul
tlvatlon haa been stopped. The new
potato will give a great impetus to
the potato cultivation of the Dominion.

Fahs Not Satisfied With Place
in Western Tri-State.
HIGHER RATING IS WANTED
Negotiations in Progress to Get I' 'ran
chise in Union League McCredie
Said to Be Considering
Financing Club.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 4. (Special.)
Failure on the part of President Boss-
ner, of the Boise Baseball Association
which financed the Boise club in the
Western Tri-State League this season,
to secure the consent of other directors
of the league for Boise to withdraw
and to relinquish the local territory,
has resulted in a decision on the part
of the league directors to meet Octo
ber 8 and decide the destiny of the
organization. If the Western Tri-State
League' survives this meeting, it can
be said now with every degree of cer
tainty that Boise will not hold a fran
chise.
Negotiations are quietly in progress
to place Boise in the Union League.
The proposition has been presented to
Judge McCredie, who is seriously con
sidering financing the Boise club, in
the event the Union Associaton de
cides to extend its territory this far
west. Jimmie Richardson, well-known
Pacific Coast sporting writer, now lo
cated in Boise, took the matter up with
the Portland magnate on a recent visit
in the Rose City. Richardson refused
to comment on the attitude assumed by
Judge McCredie. It is known that he
looked upon It with favor.
Status of Colts Acta as Bar.
The fact that there appears to be
some uncertainty as to the attitude of
the Pacific Coast League towards
barring the Northwestern League from
continuing to hold its franchise in
Portland is all that prevents the judge
from personally looking over the Boise
proposition. VV hen the fate of the
Colts is settled and there seems to be
no doubt in the mind of Richardson and
others that Portland will continue to
have two clubs in the future as it has
in the past, the Boise matter will be
looked into and Judge McCredie will
visit this city and the Union League
territory.
The finish of the Western Tri-State
League this season has caused a pop
ular clamor to go up to cut Boise out
of the territory. The question of the
championship was never settled, due to
the fact Boise and Walla Walla, the
leading clubs, could hot get together
on a post-season series. The class of
ball was not as popular as that of the
the Union League, which Boise fans
had been used to and as there appeared
a desire on the part of the directors of
that association to take Boise in again.
fans here have insisted on the trans
fer.
Many Wonld Take Over Club.
There are several deals now on by
various parties to control the Boise
franchise. One of the Union League
club managers this season is seriously
considering looking over Boise. Nego
tiations have been opened with him by
the officers of the Boise Baseball as
sociation and he is expected here after
the meeting of the Union League di
rectors.' In addition there are several
local men aspiring to become baseball
magnates and take control of the club.
The local association, however, will
have the last word -when it comes to
placing the franchise.
Pendleton is uncertain as to its
membership in the Western Tri-State
League next year. Fans there contend
that their club stood little show in the
fight for the pennant, due to the fact
Walla Walla and Boise were able to
pend more money and organized
faster clubs. They infer that both
these cities went beyond the salary
limit in this respect, and as they could
not afford it their club suffered In the
race for the flag. ;
How much truth tnere is to this as
sertion is not known. It is considered
ere by those closely associated with
the league that when it comes to a
show down ' Walla Walla, Pendleton
and North Yakima will remain in the
league next season and a fourth club
will be taken in from some city close
to the territory of the other three,
thereby cutting down expenses of the
long jumps.

That the Albany High School will be
represented this year by the fastest
team in its history is the opinion of
Professor Marquam, principal of the
high school, who is coaching the team
again this year. This is saying a great
deal, too, for during the last few years
Albany has had several teams which
have made splendid records in com
peting with interscholastic teams of
Western Oregon, and Albany is always
rated as a strong contender for the
high school championship honors of
the state.
The high school will begin its season
with a game with the alumni of the
school in this city next Saturday, and
a strong schedule is being arranged.
Games have been scheduled with Salem
High School, In Salem November 1;

November 8; with Corvallls High
School, in this city, on Thanksgiving
day, and with the Oregon Agricultural
College freshmen in this city October
25. Several games are In prospect for
the open dates, and It Is very probable
that one of the Portland high school
teams will be brought to this city for
a came during the season.
The team is rounding into shape rap

UNIVERSITY OF OREQO", Eugene"
Oct. 4. (Special.) Coach Bezdek
well-conditioned varsity string tired
out the Alumni stars in the lirst foot
ball game of the season this afternoon
and won by a score of 41 to 3. Al
though the youngsters had been figured
to win on their advantage in training,
he ease with wh):h they walked away
with the game was a surprise.
Several of the veterans who nati oeen
slated to play did not report, but there
were six former all-Nortnwext stars in

scrimmage.
Parsons scored four of Oregon s
touchdowns and Beckett and Hunting
