BT EARL R. GOODWIN.
With the Portland interscholastic
season well under -way and the big
football game of the season to be
staged on the Multnomah field next
Wednesday, Portland followers are in
line to see one of the closest races in
years. At present the Lincoln High
and the Washington teams seem to
have the advantage over the other
contestants, with the Portland Acad
emy ranking third.
The annual Lincoln-Washington game
to be played Wednesday is causing
considerable interest, as both teams
have the strongest lineups seen in
local circles for several seasons. The
Washington High team will average
better than 160 pounds to the man,
while the Lincoln team will make
about an average of 160 pounds.
Lincoln's Chances Bright.
. While Coach Earl's eleven seems to
have an edge on the other teams for
the championship, yet Coach Borleske's
warriors appear to have the best
-chances of lowering the East Slders'
colors that they have had since 1911.
Last year the boys from across the riv
er had an easy time winning the game
from Coach Borleske's team, beating
them 21 to 0. This is the largest score
ever made by either team In their
annual game.
For the past four years these two
schools have fought it out for first
honors In the league. In 1910 It re
quired two games to settle the su
premacy, although Washington was
victorious in both cases. Washington
had defeated the Lincolnites, 5 to 0, on
the Columbus field, and Lincoln downed
the Columbia University eleven in the
famous 10-to-0 affair on the Vaughn
street grounds.
Columbia then sprung a surprise by
whipping the East Side team, 8 to 6.
Columbia had already been eliminated
from the championship and the Wash
lngton High and Lincoln High teams
played the deciding game of the year
on Recreation Park gridiron December
3, 1910. Washington had Anson Cor
nell and Johnny Parsons, both now on
the Oregon University eleven; "Tubby"
Frazier, the all-star tackle, and Beck
ett, the other tackle, while Lincoln
had Patterson and Jack Day, all-star
halves; Tyson, all-star center; Toomey,
famous end, and "Rusty" Groce, now
playing half, but formerly end.
No scores were made until the last
part of the game, when Johnny Par
Bons stepped back and sent the ball
between the goal posts for a place
kick. The game ended 3 to. 0 and the
championship of the league went with
it
In 1911 Lincoln mustered together 11
of the best players in the city and
downed the East Side aggregation 8
to 5 and won the state championship
from The Dalles, 33 to 0. Three of the
state champions are mx- playing for
the school, "Rusty" Groce, "Dark
horse" Newman and "Red" Condlt. All
will be seen In action against their old
rivals with the exception of Condit,
who was hurt last Thursday In prac
tice. He injured his .leg and unless It
heals faster he will be unable to play
Wednesday.
Last year Washington had an easy
time, winning every game they played
by large scores except the Hill game,
which ended In a 0-to-0 tie. Portland
Academy was too light and forfeited
the game, while the Jefferson team
started the game but later quit and the
game went down as a l-to-0 victory
for Coach Earl's team.
Several new men have been added to
both teams since last year and this sea
son will find Lincoln's star. "Rusty"
Groce, playing his last year of inter
scholastic football. Players from all
parts of the state as well as from other
states have entered both schools and
very little Is known about their play
ing and Wednesday will find them
pitted against each other.
Lincoln's Heaviest Man 190.
The heaviest Lincoln man will tip
the beam at 190, "Tiny" Finke, a guard,
while "Little Lou" Schaufler and Pres
ton Hanson, the tackles, each go better
than 170.
Both schools have had big rallies and
the next three days of school will be
mainly getting ready to witness the
great struggle. Each year finds these
two teams playing to the largest audi
ences of any of the local teams. More
than 2000 witnessed last year's struggle
at the Multnomah Field.
Several surprises In the league have
been sprung this year first, .the de
feat of the Columbia University eleven
by Coach Hurlburt's Portland Academv
team and the showing of the Jefferson
High team against the heavy Lincoln
team last Wednesday. Portland Acad
emy won 10 to 0, while Lincoln was
able to down Coach Rlnehart's proteges
by but 12 to 0.
Tell leader Irvln Hanson, of Lincoln,
has prepared several new yells, which
will be unfolded at the meeting next
Wednesday, and the same can be ex
'pected from Forrest Walton, the Wash
ington yell king. The game will start
at 3 o'clock and Roscoe Fawcett will
referee with "Doc" W. S. Shaw offi
ciating as umpire. The head linesman
has not yet been selected.
Aggie Freshmen Win.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 18. (Special.)
With the conference football season of
fically opened, Oregon Agricultural
College followers of the game are sub
jecting the Beaver Varsity to a close
analysis. In an effort to determine Its
real strength and its chances or devel
oping into a factor in the race for the
pennant.
Naturally, with the Oregon game
ranking as of greatest importance from
the local point of view, there Is much
comparison, even at this early date, of
the relative strength of the rival teams,
and the dopesters are already forming
opinions as to the outcome of the Al
bany scrap to be staged November 8.
That Dr. Stewart will this year have
a strong string of backfleld men from
which to choose Is evident. This week
he has been using eight men In the
back positions and Bhowing preference
for none of them. With the direct
pass formation, which eliminates the
quarterback and substitutes two full
backs, "Doc" has two combinations
which have been working together.
The first of these includes Abraham,
Blackwell, Schuster and Shaw, and the
second Robinson, Hayes, Larsen and
Dewey. That these combinations are
ironclad is not true, according to the
local coaches, and the men will be in
terchanged at will. These two sets of
fours are equal in strength, but a
stronger combination than either would
be Blackwell and Abraham at full
backs and Hayes and Schuster or Shaw
at halves. This group would average
only 168 pounds, but is fast, and unless
Robinson and Rasmusnu show marked
improvement in form this combination
vill probably be selected, by Stewart
as most effective.
Rasmussen'a Knee Trouble.
It is evident that at least two men
who have made the varsity In previous
years will have difficulty in making
a letter this Fall. The new formation
dispenses with the necessity of a light
and speedy quarterback, and this means
that Dewey may be discarded this
year, although Stewart believes him
to be the best open field runner and
field general on the squad. Dewey
weighs but 145 pounds. Another man
who will have trouble in making the

varsity-this year is Rasmussen. "Rasty"
has been laid up with a bad knee all
Fall and is not playing as aggressive
a game as ''Doc" demands. Shaw and
Robinson' are two other backfield men
who are in danger of . being overshad
owed by newcomers. Shaw Is light
and has been handicapped by injuries,
while Robinson has not yet reached the
speed and class which . he displayed
last year. In the line Moore Is in
danger of being displaced by Finch or
Laythe.
The use of Anderson at center by
Coach Stewart is a clever move, ac
cording to local fans. Anderson is
heavy and aggressive, backs up the
line well and uses his head. His pass
ing has thus far been erratic, but he
should overcome this soon. The ver
satile Chrlsman is developing into a
great tackle. During his first year at
O. A. C. Chrlsman played guard, last
year center, and this year will make a
strong bid for Northwest honors at
tackle. His shift of position has caused
the removal of May, as Hofer is too
good a tackle to lose. Stewart has
found a berth for May; however, at
end, where the veteran Is putting up
a good game as Huntley's teammate. ,
Huntley Stewart's Pride. -
This man Huntley Is the pride of
Stewart's heart. Three years ago
Peck" made All-Northwest end. and
in accomplishing this failed in 12 credit
hours of college work. Upon his re
turn to college this year tit was neces
sary for Huntley to remove these fail
ures before he became eligible for con
ference football. In addition to caring
for his course this semester and play
ing football on the side "Peck" has
taken examinations in his back work
and passed with honors. It was only
this week, after he had pulled a grade
of 91 ' in a mathematics exam., that
Huntley was declared eligible, thereby

lifting a load from the mind of the head
coach. ..
With Finch, McCord, Smart and Lar
sen as substitutes on the line, "Doc"
should be able to withstand losses by
injuries withoutserlous results. Smart
is a good end, and Is also at home in
a guard or tackle berth. Finch and
McCord are two- freshmen who will step
into the shoes of Chrisman and May
after this year. - The punting this year
will fall upon Larsen, Blackwell ami
Rasmussen. Stewart Is none too strong
In this department. Larsen will aver
age 30 yards, but he Is too light for
Interference 'or for carrying, the ball.
Blackwell will do the place, kicking,
but thus far has not been accurate,
Larsen Is clever, at drop kicking; and
may be' used in a pinch,, when the Bea
vers are in a position to score by means

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. 18. For the
first time this year a football foe
crossed today the Harvard goal line,
but while the Holy Cross team accom
plished this feat through a'muff, they
were overwhelmed 41 to 1.
The game was scarcely a minute old
when Freedley let a Holy Cross punt
go through his fingers. Donovan, the
Holy "Cross fullback, picked up the ball
and dashed across the line. Brawley
kicked an easy goal. For the remainder
of the game the visiting line was ripped
open, circled and overpowered by the
Harvard backs. Mahan kicked two goals
from the field, one from the 15-yard
line, and the other from the 85-yard
line. Toward the last of the game
Hardwiek made two runs of 45 and 25
yards each and Collidge followed by
taking a forward pass for a touchdown.
The Harvard team snowed more aasn
and football knowledge than In any
previous game this season and, while
Freedley proved an uncertain factor In
the back field, he seemed to instill
plenty of life Into the play.
Both teams made frequent cnanges in
the lineup. Three Holy Cross players
were so .badly used up that they had to
be carried from the field. The lineup:

Pennsylvania 28, Brown 0.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18. Reversing
the results of their two previous con
tests, Pennsylvania defeated the Brown
football team on Franklin field today
28 to 0. The home eleven outclassed the
Providence team in all departments of
the game.
Pennsylvania scored early In the first
period. The ball was worked down to
Brown's 12-yard line, where, on a fake
forward pass. Minds handed the ball to
Marshall, who ran for a touchdown
before Brown could fathom the play.
The second touchdown ajso came In the
first period. Captain Young going
around .Brown's right end for the score
after Pennsylvania had carried the ball
almost to the goal line.
In the second period Marshall failed
at a field goal from the 35-yard line.
Later a forward pass. Minds to Mar
shall, netted Pennsylvania 25 yards.
Marshall circled Brown's right end for
20 yards, and with the ball on Brown s
one-yard line, Minds was pushed across
for the third touchdown. The last
touchdown was made In the third
period by Minds after Pennsylvania
had easily gone around the 'Providence
ends for substantial gains. Marshall

BLIXD BOYS PLAY FOOTBALL
I.nnsing, Michigan, School Expects
to Have Effective Squad.
LANSING. Mich., Oct. 18. (Special.)
Ray C. Warren, physical director of
the Lansing, Mich., School for the
Blind, is mustering recruits for a foot
Sail squad, which he hopes shortly to
drill into shape as an efficient grid
iron machine.
All the members of thn squad will be
boys from the school, either totally or
partially blind. Coach Warren made a
small start In a football way a season
ago, but owing to the newness of the
game to the boys little headway was
made.
Warren had better success with bas
ketball. and with the experience gained
in the year of athletics the director
believes he can make satisfying prog
ress In football. Candidates for the
team are already being marshaled.
PALZER KNOCKED OUT

MASTERS NEW YORKER.
Surprising Showing Made by Boxer Wbo
Floor Big Fellow In First
- and Win In Second.
PITTSBURG, Oct 18. Al. Talzer, of
New York, heavyweight pugllfst, was
knocked out in the second round or
six-round boxing contest here tonight
by Dan Dalley, of Newcastle, Pa., with
a left and right to the Jaw. Previously
Palzer had been knocked down with
left hook to the Jaw. Palier had to be
carried from the ring.
The fight tonight was the second sur
Drlse here within a week. Last Satur
day night George Chip, of Madison,
knocked out Frank Klaus, reputed to
have been the middleweight champion.
The defeat of Klaus In the sixth round
of that bout was st sensation. Dalley's
knockout of Palzer tonight was viewed
in a similar manner.
In the first round Dalley showed
amazinir footwork and was quick. He
seemed to land at will. The second
round was merely a repetition of the
first with Dalley administering a much
heavier blow. After a minute's fight
in the second round Dalley dropped Pal
zer for the count of nine. Palzer arose
and clinched. Dalley then drove left
and right to Jaw, and the fight was
over.

FUST BUT UNTRIED

Game, Although They Real

FEN1WS PUNTING FACTOR
Barks Speedier Than Ever and Line
Is Boefy and Powerful, but Men
tors Bewail Luck of Ilurd
Practice Matches.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Oct. 18. (Special.) With the
opening game of the conference foot
ball season with Idaho only a week
away, Oregon's team is still In the
evolutional y stage. The lemon-yellow
eleven will be sent to the skirmish
line In its first Important engagement
practically without expcrlnco under
fire, and it Is this fact which is caus
ing apprehension among the coaches
and rooters concerning the outcome.
Idaho already has played the game
which to Griffith's men is the most
Important on the schedule, that which
they won 3-0 from Washington State
College yesterday. Oregon, on tha
other hani, hus yet to meet a foemun
worthy of her steel. The game with
the alumni two weeks ago developed
into a farce on account of the lack of
condition of the old-timers, while the
contest with the Bremerton all-stars
today can hardly be suld to have fur
nished Oregon with an opponent of
conference class.
Add to this dearth of preliminary
warming up the fact that six men in
the llnu-up which will be used against
Idaho are new to their work, having
been shifted from their regular posi
tions, and it is clear why Coach Bez
dek should and does worry.
Secret practice has been the order
on Kincald field the past week. Only
yesterday were the rooters allowed to
Invade the bleachers and contribute vo
cal prodding to the squad. The ostra
cism of the side-line touts means that
Bezdek is getting down to business In
earnest for his approaching: blir games
with Idaho, O. A. C, and Washington.
Last year Oregon nosed out the
Idaho teamat Moscow by a 3 to 0
score on the strength of Carl Fenton's
place-kicking ability. It may be that
next Saturday's resfllt will hinge on
one or more field goals, and If so Fen
ton is ready with a more trustworthy
boot than before, for he has shown an
Improvement in marksmanship under
Ihe Instruction of Besdek. Should Fen.
ton fail to locate the posts, however,
Bezdek holds another card In Bigbee,
who is working with Cornell In the
quarterback position. Bigbee executed
three successful drop kicks for the
total of nine points scored by the
scrubs In Inst Saturday's regular game
with the varsity.
Fenton is also getting more distance
and gyration to his punts as the result
of a new style of kicking taught him
by Bezdek. Barring accldunts, to which
the big fellow has been susceptible in
past seasons, he will hold his own with
any conference punter this season.
The first team line-up has been prac
tically unchanged since the wholesale
shuffle of last week. The line as It
now stands contains the requisite beef,
nnd all the forwards are charging and
arettlng into the piny better than ever
before. The backfleld will be the fast
est Oregon has had for many seasons.
Bryant should prove one of the
"finds" of the team, to augur from his
showing In practice. When this player
was called back to the fullback posi
tion the advisability of the move was
questioned on account of his disadvan
tage in weight compared with Cook.
However, Bryant has a world of speed,
which develops at the start and does
not slacken when he hits the line. Ma
larkey, the new left half, Is also fast
In starting and In action; In fact. Par
sons, the wonderful ground-gainer of
last year s team. Is, if anything, the
slowest of the backfleld trio in get
ting under way.
Two more desertions from the squad
have not served to brighten Oregon's
championship prospects during the past
week. Ross, former quarter for Wen
atchee High School, and a promising
freshman end, quit college on account
of the death of his mother. Hunting
ton, another freshman from The Dalles,
who was touted as a "find" at the be
ginning of the season, has given up
football for the present on the advice
of his physician. He has been out of
condition all season. '
"That's No $14.75
Suit! There Must
Be Some Mistake"
One of my salesmen made this
remark when he saw the sort of
suit I am selling for $14.75.
Many customers say "Jimmy,
where did yon steal these
suits?" It would cost me too
much to say much more. Come
in, the suits will "talk" for.
tha raincoats will yell for your
$14.75
