With seven days J left before the Washing-ton game, the J Oregon coaches are working with grim determination to overcome the handi $ tap of injuries and sickness that have crippled the lemon-yellow team. The loss of Malarkey. Cook and Cor I tie'll has turned the odds heavily against J Oregon, but the squad has refused to ' say die.

Then came the news that Sam Cook was in the hos afpltal with an attack of mumps.

Suffering from an abcess on his neck the first of the season de- . prived Captain Irvine from appearing- in & football suit until almost half the year was a thing of the past and as a result his team did not make a very good start. Two games were lost and then when he en tered the third -contest he won it, 7 to 3. from the Lincoln High. Irvine is considered to be one of the best field generals ever seen in the Portland Interscholastic League. Against the Columbia Univers ity squad last Friday he was not up to form and had a poor day.

Washington High School - Against Portland Academy and Lincoln Versus Hill Eleven Will Be e Cards for This Week. BY EARL R. GOODWIN. But five more games remain to be played in the present football sched ule of the Portland Interscholastic League, and unless something unfore- seen happens the 1914 title will be un- decided as last year, when Lincoln High was tied witn four wins and one defejtt with Columbia University. Two games will be furnished the fans this week with Washington High School playing Portland Academy and Coach Borleske trying, to break into the win column at the expense of the Hill Mill tary Academy eleven. The Washington High-Portland Academy erabroglio will be played on Multnomah Field Wednesday, bit no definite settlement has been made as to the Lincoln-Hill affair. Early last Spring, as soon as the schedule was drawn up. Coach Borleske. of Lincoln. made arrangements with Coach Bill Graham, of the Academy, to stage the contest next Tuesday instead of on next Friday, as originally scheduled. Llneola to Plar Hoquiam. The Lincolnites are slated to appear I at Hoquiam, Wash., against the high scnoolers of that place next Suturday afternoon. Coach Borleske felt that two games in two days was asking too much of his warriors, and as the cadets were not scheduled .to play during the past 10 days, he asked that the original date be set up three days. Coach Gra ham has been having trouble with his cripples and is having a hard time to round his players into shape, and this is given as the cause of his uneasiness about the date. The final Settlement will be made today or tomorrow, when both tutors meet. ' Coach Earl's Washington High ag gregation will meet Coach "Spec" Hurlburt and . his Portland Academy contingent on Multnomah Field I Wednesday and, according to "dope." the East Siders should win by about two or three touchdowns. The high schoolers went through a gruelling match against the West Side high last Wednesday and returned a 3-to-0 win ner. Colombia la la Lead. Columbia University is leading the I league with three wins and no defeats. ashington High has a record of two victories and no adversities. These two elevens met in the opening game of the year and each scored a touch down and kicked goal. The varsity wre seen in action I against Coach Johnson's Jefferson High squad day before yesterday and nothing more will be heard from the campus until November 20, when they will meet the Railsplitters in the next to the last match of the affair. In all probability, the coming set-tos will be started at 3 o'clock instead of 8:15 o'clock as heretofore. The last few "goes" have been finished in semi- darkness and as a result spectators have been unable to follow the direc tion of the plays. ! WHITMAN TEAM MINUS 3 MES III it t " 11 II III V3 - - 1 1 l K&t " I ' 03 1 DENTIFICATION IS EASY The numbering of football players so as to permit the spectators to follow the various plays on the gridiron has been given a good try In the East and from all accounts it Is here to stay. This system, was Used in the recent Brown-Cornell game ana eacn piayer had an 18-inch letter sewed on his sweater. The players, because of the numDers, could be distinguished from tne tar end of the field. More than a dozen changes were made dur(,pg the game and the rooters always knew which man was going out and which was com tnr in because they saw the huge num ber on the back of te departing player and on the incoming player and tneir score card did the rest. Multnomah Club attempted to use this system last season but because it has bssii. almost impossible to get the opposing players to adopt It the local club ahd to give it up. ine jxorm- west colleges have not adopted It as yet but from reports of the institutions who have been using it for some time in the East there is little chance for the teams of this Coast to go much lonsrer without it. In all probability large numoers wm be placed on all the players on both the University of Oregon ana tne aiuuno mah Club eleven for the coming an nual mill on Multnomah Field ThanKs giving day. The few coaches who stood out against the numbering plan at the Btart of the season have had their ODjec tions swept aside and it Is almost a certainty that every team in the coun try will number its players next year. The argument that a team which wore numbers would be handicapped because the opposite players then would have a chance to 'spot" the stars on the oDsosinK eleven has been proven false as the result of the recent Tufts Rutirera contest shows. According to Eastern critics the Tufts men found it hard to pick out the Rutgers stars even though thev wore 18-inch numerals. The Rutgers eleven wore numbers and the Tufts did not. Rutgers won although the Rutgers were outweighed and Tufts was considered to have a cinch to win because of its great show ing against Harvard. The Rutgers players had little trouble in watching the Tufta stars wno were not numoerca "That is the kind of game that makes Northwest football worth while. is the way Plowden Stott speaks of th Oregon Agricultural College-University of Washington 0-0 embroglio at Albany a week ago yesterday.

Fans unite in the opinion that this year's eleven is stronger than any playing here since the days of "Tub" Wolfe and "Chief Keck. This belief. however, does not lead to the opinion that an Aggie victory Is assured over the University of Oregon, for the dope current here has Bezdek'a team rated higher than any of previous years.
