3 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.

TRIBUTE PAID W. A. LUtXED
William H. llottcl Cites Unparal
leled Tennis Performance.
"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

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.

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."
