Newspaper Page Text3 INTERCOLLEGIATI GHQLASTIG TEAMS IN CLOSE BATTLE GAMES THIS WEI Pullman-Whitman, Oregon eries of Interesting Football gies-California and Oregon! Games Are Scheduled for This Week. Idaho Teams Clash. SOUTHERNERS HAVE HOPI LEAGUE HONORS AT STAKE With Experience Gained in Contel With Marines and Other Strong Elevens, Bears Expect to Make Good Showing. Three his intercollegiate footfc contests are scheduled for next Sati day on the Pacific Coast, when t Oregon Aggies will travel to Califori to meet the University of California Berkeley, while the University of Or eon will play Idaho in the first intf collegiate game of the season at E gene. "Lonestar" Dietz will send t Washington State eleven against Wh man College at Pullman in the third the big contests. The California Bears have it on t Northern teams, having already enjoy seven weeks of practice, during whit time they have played a number . frames with the fast Army and Nav teams about the bay. Andy Smith, hea coach at Berkeley, is not prophesyin any victory over the Oregon Aggie: but from the number of men he has i uniform, as well as the material a hand, he ought to make matters might interesting for Coach Pipal's boys. Smith has a number of last year' men back in the fold, and they have worked themselves into a well-drilled machine. They have twice clashed1 with Johnny Beckett's marines and each time have been on the short end of large scores. But such is liable to be the fate of any club which mixes with a formidable aggregation of the caliber of the Mare Island Marines. Aggies Look Good, Pipal Is not pinging the praises of the Aggies, but they look mighty good on paper, even if the experience is lacking. The Aggie line is holding up well and the backfield is fast, although light. "With Lodell in shape to enter the fray, the punting end of the squad is the least of Pipal's worries. "Bark horse" Newman can be relied on to do his share of plunging on offense and is a. veritable stone wall on defense. The University of Oregon will meet Idaho at Eugene in the first inter collegiate game scheduled for Kincaid Field. Hugo Bezdek is as tight with information regarding his football war riors as a clam. The Oregon mentor Is grinding along daily with his green and lemon-yellow tquad and has hopes of developing a fairly formidable aggregation before the season is over. Bezdek misses that wonderful 1916 crew which blazoned abroad Oregon's fame. The like of that famous collection of moleskin artists will be hard to duplicate and will long dwell in the minds of Oregon's sup porters as being the greatest football squad the West ever knew. It was natural to suppose that the chunky Bezdek would be despondent, but such has not been the case. He has Fet to work with a grim determination to place Oregon on the map with the material he has. and the result of his two weeks' work with one of the green est crews that ever reported for foot ball practice on Kincaid Field is al ready beginning to show results. Idaho Apparently Stronger. Idaho apparently will not be the easy pickings they were last year for the other conference teams. Coach Bleamaster has most of last year's squad back, and their game against the Aggies yesterday indicated that they are not to be taken lightly. Whitman and Washington State will Tie at Pullman, and Dietz' men ought to experience no trouble in taking Borlrske's tribe into camp, although the Whitman warriors can be relied on to furnish plenty of excitement for the Washington Aggies. Baseball Star Starts Work as Mule Driver. Benny Kauff Quit Job. However, When Ho Found He Could Hit Ball. BENNY KAUFF. star of the fourth world series gamo between the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox. who laced out two home runs for New York, was formerly employed as a. mule driver at $1.40 for Captain Tom Jones, of Middleport. O. Jones operated a. coal mine in the Virginia Mountains at the time. One day one of the baseball teams of the Virginia Mountain League got drunk en masse. Captain Jones rec ommended Kauff as one of the substi tutes. Kauff knocked a home run in that game, was signed for the team at once and Jones had to employ another mule driver at $1.40 a day. OREGON SOCCEK MEN FEW" Witti Loss of Coach Dvnient Pros pects for Team Arc Poor. VNIVERPITY OF OKKCSON. Eugene, Oct. 20. iSiocial. But seven old men have so fur answered the call for soccer practice and prospects of the university turning out a winning team this year in that line of sport are slim. Nor is t h lack of experienced men the on ly di f f icult y which has to be faced. Colin V. 1'y nient, who has acted as coach every year since the introduction of the K n p 1 i s h ga me into student activities, is no longer con jiectotl with the university. It is prob able that Father Mora n, who assisted Coach lynieiit last year, will fill the vacancy. The men of last year's team who have reported for practice are: James sheehy. Kill Ilaseltine. J. Fox, Hartley, 1 ley wood, Foirson and Kelleher. GEESE HVXTIX; IS EXCELLENT Birds Invade Inlands in Columbia Kiver by Thousands. Wild geese in countless thousands nave invaded the small islands in the Columbia Kiver. near Arlington, accord ing to Information brought to Portland last night by Jim Bull, well-known fchooter. Arlington Is the Mecca for geese bun tors who annually visit that eec t ion and always return with as many birds as they can carry. James Hull, in company with Jim XJurdett. of McMinnville; Jim Elalock, Lynn Butcher and Carl Smith, of Arlington, hunted on the Smith ranch, 1 3 miles southeast of Arlington, and bagged an unusually large number of get-se. "They are coming in by the tens of thousands, and hunters are going to have some fine sport shooting them this .season," said Mr. BulL STARS GOOD SHOTS Leading Baseball Players Take Up Marksmanship. TRAPS HOOTING IS LIKED Chief Bender, of Phillies, Is One of Best Shots in Country and Grover Cleveland Alexander Also lilts Bluerocks. BT PETER P. CARXET, Editor National Sports Syndicate. With the baseball season over and the paraphernalia stowed away for the Winter, the knights of the diamond show interest in other pastimes. The great majority of major league ball players devote that off season to rec reation as they see it for to them baseball is work. A great many of the star ball tossers of the American and National leagues are excellent shots with the trap gun and devote considerable time to shoot ing in the field and at the traps dur ing the five months that the pay check , Uoesn t flitter in with their mail. "Chief Bender, whose remarkable pitching with the Philies the past sea son is still the sensation wherever baseball is discussed, is one of the best trap shots in this dear old land of ours, and the Chippewa may be lo cated at the Beideman Club traps in Camden, N. J., several afternoons each week. Tour Awakens Interest. Bender, with Harry Davis, captain of the Athletics; Christy Mathewson, man ager of the Cincinnati Reds, and Otis Crandall, now hurling in the Pacific Coast League, toured the country sev eral years ago as a trapshooting squad and their performances awakened in terest of other ballplayers to the sport. Grover Cleveland Alexander, who has turned in 30 victories in each of the past three years for the Phillies, is another who is an excellent shot, and he paired off with Bender in a num ber of matches last Spring. Billy Kille fer, Alexander's battery mate, and Os car Dugey. who is also on the Phils' payroll, are pretty nifty in the break ing of clay targets. Joe Bush, the veteran hurler of the Mackmcn, is another, and is quite at home at the traps or in the field. He is just as good a shooter as he is a pitcher and he is a mighty good pitcher. Tris Speaker is a good shot and so is Joe Jackson, in fact all of the leading bats men in the major leagues are excellent trapshots. Cobb Like to Shoot. Ty Cobb is as ardent a. shooter as he is a ball player, and goes at the shoot ing game just as strenuously as he does baseball. Tyrus, with E. S. Rogers, of Cleveland, and John Philip Sousa, Jr.. own 6000 acres of well-stocked hunting grounds on the Savannah River in Georgia, and on this private preserve the greatest sticksmith of them all spends the greater part of hi3 vaca tion. On one excursion last Winter Cobb and his partners bagged 350 quail. Jack Coombs, one of the wisest hurlers that baseball has ever known, is also an ardent shooter and every year he gathers a bunch of ball play ers together for an expedition in Maine. Eddie Plank. Bill Carrigan. Lew Mc Carthy. Hherrod Smith, Herbie Pennock, lxzy Hoffman, Orvie Overall, Prank Baker, Gabby Cravath. John Henry Wagner, Walter Johnson. Ed Pfeffer, Bob Shawkey, Wilbert Robinson. Jack Dunn. Joe Cantillion and Billy Sullivan names that are well known to all baseball fans are devotees of the great sport of hunting. Squirrel Food. IT pays to be with a pennant-winning club. Members of the Indianapolis team, which won the American Asso ciation flag, were presented with enough wearing apparel to last them all Winter. Fifty-nine silk shiits, four suits of clothes and IS hats were some of the donations of Indianapolis mer chants. The Indianapolis fans gave Jack Hendricks, the Indians' manager, a dia mond cluster stickpin for leading the team to a championship, and President James C. McGill was presented with an engraved fountain pen. Another of the old-timers who has been relegated to the "has wuzzers" is Charlie Dooin, who formerly managed the Philadelphia National League club. Dooin was a great catcher in his day. Charles was playing with a semi-pro club around Philadelphia until one aft ernoon the manager checked up on Booin's batting average and found the ex-leaguer was only hitting .045, and the curtain was rung down on Charles. Dooin managed the Phillies until Pat Moran took hold. After leaving the Quakers he played with Cincinnati, New York Giants and bossed a team in the International League. The Pacific Coast League is not the only place where the magnates worry about the amount of oil they have to use on the turnstiles. The Cleveland club, which made such a good record for attendance in the American League in 1916 with a sixth-place team, was 10.000 behind this year with a third placer, but, considering war conditions and other drawbacks Louie Guisto's slump. Jack Graney's green vest, etc. the club management is well pleased. Jim Dunn, the Nap owner, says Cleve land would be the best town In the country with a pennant winner, but he hasn't made any plans to enlarge his park yet. They spilled a number of funny ones on the world series, but this knocks them all "cuckoo": Bennie Kauff be lieves in hunches. An admirer of Benny's picked up two hairpins in the Polo ground grandstand before the sec ond game in New York and promptly hunted up Kauff, who was taking bat ting practice at the net. "Bennie, take these hairpins and put them in your hip pocket," said the admirer with a serious look. "Each of them is good for a home run." Kauff took the hairpins and went back to the net. In the fourth inning he knocked out his first home run, which also was his first hit for the series. Rushing up to said admirer, Bennie exclaimed: "I can't do that again in this game so I'll give the other pin to Heinle Zimmerman; he needs it.' When he pounded out his second homer in the eighth, Zimmerman, with the other hairpin in his pocket, hit Danforth for three bases. If Frank Callahan was a ballplayer and fell for this stuff he'd knocked the world dead with home runs if hairpins helped any. RUNNERS ARE TRAINING C. ME V PREPARE FOR CROSS-COVSTRY MEET. Soeeer Practice Also Is Started at Col lego With Prospects tor Good Team This Season. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis. Oct. 20. (Special.) Al though most of the Oregon Agricul tural Colege's energies are being ex pended toward football, the cross-country team cannot be neglected. "In regard to the track outlook this year," said Captain Harry Coleman, "I have not much to say at this time, but our annual cross-country meet with Oregon will be held soon. At pres ent I have Reynolds. Spriggs and Nich ols, all letter men of last year's events, and the winners of the freshman race last year, Scea and Buttervich. There seems to be quite a number of likely looking men who have signified their interest in this event and we hope to be able to give the university a good run for its money." While only a few of the men have been training so far this year, more will be out in track suits next week, with the beginning of the Fall track season next Monday. Official soccer practice started for the season Thursday with an excellent turnout. Professor Wilkshire, of the plumbing department, is to be coach and he will be assisted by Captain Neil Ford. The outlook for a strong team this season is excellent. Many of last year's varsity men are back, and the team is strengthened by four men from England and Scotland. Chicago Defeats Purdue, 2 7-0. CHICAGO. Oct. 20. Chicago defeated Purdue, 27 to 0, in the first conference game of the season today. Higgins scored three of Chicago's four touch downs. Albany Hunters Get Game Without Shooting. Dos Catches Pheasant and Wild Goone Is Cornered. ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) Though they fired only three shots, John A. Neely and G. T. Hocken smith, local business men, returned to Albany last night from a hunting trip with three China pheasants and two wild geese. Their dog caught one of the pheasants and Mr. Neely killed one of the geese by hitting it with the barrel of his gun. The two men were hunting pheasants above Peoria when a band of wild geese flew over and lit near the river not far from where they were. As the men walked in that direction a goose flew up and Mr. Neely shot it. Another goose, in a fence corner, tired of flight, was killed without a shot.

"One of the greatest tennis players the United States has produced." says William H. Hottel. of Chicago. "Is W. A. Larned." For 19 consecutive years, with the single exception of the year lhS8, when he was serving in the Span ish-American war. Larned placed among the 10 National champions. From 1892 to 1911 he won yearly con secutive championships. Since 1911 Mr. Larned had been in comparative retirement, until he re cently claimed the limelight by taking part in the Army-Navy tournament in the East recently. His record previous to retirement was without a parallel. Seven times he held the National sin gles titles during the years 1901, 1902, 1('07, 1908. 1909. 1910 and 1911. The only other player in history to touch tiiis record was R. D. Sears, who held the title from 1881 to 1887, inclusive. Sears, however, did not have to face the stiff competition to hold his title that Larned did. Larned was semi-finalist in 1894. 1S95 and 1896. and runner-up to Mal colm I). Whitman in 1900. He played on the Davis cup teams in 1902, 1903, 1905. 1908. 1909 and 1911. Larned was greeted by another burst of popularity during the present year, when he played such a wonderful game in his part of the Army-Navy tourna ment R. Norris Williams, at present de clared to be the best tennis player in the United States, irrespective of title- holders, is almost the exact counter- part cf Larned in style of play and tac tics. Bowling Notes. THERE will be a meeting Monday night, October 22, at the Portland alleys for the purpose of organizing an automobile league. All interested are requested to be present also Mr. Adams.

OLD PEYTON GRAVELY MADE THE FIRST PLUG OF TOBACCO THAT EVER WAS MADE C -a. rarwr v RING WORK STARTS Winter Indoor Work Feature at Riding Academy. PAPER CHASES ARE NEAR First Pursuit or Year Will Take Place November 3, According to Announcement of Harry Ker ron, Master of Hounds. Now that the cool Fall evenings make it no longer practical or enjoy able for the class rides to be held out of doors, the regular Winter ring work is being started at the Portland Riding Academy. The Derby Club is riding Tuesday evening and the Bit and Spur Club Wednesday evening this year, the same as last. Both of these classes do very good work. The Thursday night class, which was started about February of last year, held its first indoor ride this week and gives every indication of working into one of the largest classes. The Friday evening class will start about the first of the month. After the usual drills, some of the more energetic riders usually enjoy a game of polo or jumping. These classes are made up largely, but not exclusively, of Hunt Club mem bers. The interesting game of polo, which was played at the Fall meet held by the club October 13, has aroused en thusiasm among many of the members who previously had not tried their hand at the game. During the past week some of the juniors have been seeing how the game goes and it is most likely that soon they will have enough material to form two teams and will bo able to play match games. Anyone who happens to be at the club about 11:30 this morning will have the opportunity to witness a game, as the teams who played at the Fall meet are going to practice. These teams are captained by G. JIurphy and J. V. Murphy. The fine steeplechase course that was laid out for the Fall meet has been left intact and many of the members have been taking advantage of the ex ceptionally fine weather and the good footing afforded in the infield to school their mounts over these jumps. There is no other sport that quite affords the same pleasure and excite ment as the paperchase. and it is with much anticipation that the regular followers of the paper, as well as some of the novices, are looking forward to the beginning of the Fall and Winter season of chases which Harry M. Ker ron. master of fox hounds, announces opens November 3 with a closed paper chase. The trail will be laid by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Martin. PnllnwinEr this chase in the evening. TTr-drt A. Martin, chairman of the house' committee, announces that there will be a harvest festival dance at the club house. These affairs undoubtedly will more than exceed their popularity of last year.

Thursday Washington vs. Commerce. Friday Franklin vs. James John. Probably the most interesting week's cheduie of the entire Interscholastic -eague series of football games will e played this week. In the first game. et for Tuesday, Columbia University nd Jefferson High School, two unde nted teams, will play. Jefferson ap ears more powerful than Columbia, ut Columbia is faster. No one who has seen both teams in action will Venture a prediction on the outcome of the game. The game Wednesday will be hardly less interesting. Hill Military Acad emy jfnd the Benson Polytechnic School will start the "cellar championship" series. The school that wins this game will climb out of last place in the league. Both schools later will play the High School of Commerce, and when this series in completed final possession of tho "subway pennant" will be decided. Washington Team Heavier. Washington will play Commerce Thursday. This game will not be of as much interest as the other three of the week's schedule, for Washing ton, with a heavier team, should win. The final game of the week, between Franklin and James John, will be of fully as much interest as the opening battle. Neither team lias yet been de feated. Franklin. James John and Lincoln were considered the fleetest teams in the league, and since Frank lin eliminated Lincoln by defeating the latter by two touchdowns last week, the James John-Franklin battle will prove which school is entitled to the honor of having the fastest team in the association. Three Games Played. Only three games were played last ' week. Columbia plastered Benson, 25 to 0, in the opener, which was an un interesting game except for the im proved form shown by the Benson boys. Franklin proved too fast for Lincoln in Thursday's game and slipped two touchdowns over on the Kailsplitters before the latter aggregation, hit their stride. James John ran away from Washington in Friday's game and won by 28 points. PHEASANTS ARE FEW MAXV HUNTERS URGE THAT NO MORE HUNTING BE ALLOWED. Complaint Made That Unless Some Ac tion la Taken to Close Season Sport Will Be Killed. The Oregonian has received contin ual complaints this year that the China pheasant season ought never to have been opened, and that there are not sufficient birds for the sportsmen, de spite the announcement by the Game Warden's office prior to the opening of the season, promising as many, if not more, birds than usual. Some huntsmen have had good luck, and say that all the talk about a short age of birds has no foundation what ever. Others maintain that the few birds which exist are going to be thinned out past hope of restoration for years to come, if the season is not closed immediately and the birds pro tected and allowed to multiply for at least three years. Warden Shoemaker, however, has emphatically stated that there were never more China Pheasants in Oregon than there are during the present sea eon. A recent letter on this subject from a sporting enthusiast insinuated that the Game Commission, needing $6500 in funds, could not afford to lose tho license money this year, and succeeded In opening the season on schedule in spite of the fact that the shortage of birds was well known to the officials. The letter closes with this paragraph: "In my judgment, the season should be closed for the next three years, as there are so few birds left here that If it is not closed there will be nono left."
