TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER C, 1918. FIFTY HUSKIES OUT FOB OREGON BERTHS Splendid Array of Talent As sures Oregon of Fastest Team for Many Years.. SEASON TO OPEN SATURDAY "Shy" Huntington, in CJiarge of Eleven, Wears Smile, Indicating His Confidence in Men Avail able for Uniforms. t- - rXTVEP.SITT OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 5. (Special.) With a squad of 50 huskies out for practice every night football prospects are the best at the university for many seasons. There has been but one cloud in the football sky, Dow Wilson having announced that he would not don a uniform this year. Wilson has not been admitted to the S. A- T. C. as he registered for the draft previous to September 12. Coach "Shy" Huntington ia row without the services of a single man of last year's varsity team. There is. however, a fine assortment of football talent from last year's Freshmen eleven. Ten of the regulars of the Xirst year team of last season are back and in harness. They are: Chapman, Strachan, Dresser. Mautz, Gilbert, Jac cobberger, Trowbridge, Blake, Brand enburg and Brock. The majority of these men attended the training camp at the Presidio, worked in the ship yards, or on farms and are in the best of condition. Blake In Fine Condition. Strachan, who was at the Presidio, reports that the Army life was great stuff and his feet, which bothered him all last season, are now in fine con dition. All of the members of fresh men eleven of last year are heavier, some of them having taken on 10 or 15 pounds. Mautz is still the heaviest man out, being well over the 200 mark. The return of Blake to school this Fall and the fine condition of the other old men is causing coach Hunt ington to wear a smile. After practice last night "Bill" Hayward, Oregon's famous coach and trainer, was happy. "Bill" is always regarded by Oregon students as a weather prophet, when the weather is spelled football, and the fact that "Bill" appears on the campus wreathed in a smile has caused grid iron stock to advance about 100 per cent. A lot of the new men, reporting every night, show a great deal of class in practice and are going to make some pretty fights before they will be content with a place on the. scrubs. Max. Hauser, of Dartmouth, is one of the new men who is showing to ad vantage. Hauser is an end candidate And is going to make someone travel to keep him from getting a job. Season Opens Next Saturday. Another end candidate that shows a lot of promise is Vincent Jacobberger. late of the Columbia University of Portland. Vincent, who is a brother of Francis Jacobberger, of the last year's "Frosh" aggregation, is built closer to the ground than his brother and is fast and shifty. Martin Howard and Roger Plummer are two former Jefferson High School players that sure are easy to look at. Plummer Is a backfleld man while Howard is another of the many candidates for an end position. "Skeet" Manerud, one of the greatest all around athletes turned out by the Eugene High School, is another very very promising recruit. Manerud is a candidate for a berth as quarterback. From his work in practice he resembles Anson Cornell and it remains to be eeen if he can handle a team in the tame businesslike manner as Cornell. The schedule is still in as bad a shape as ever, no word having been re ceived from either the University of Washington or the Marines. The sea son opens here next Saturday when the Multnomah Club eleven will be en tertained. A return game probably will be played in Portland later ia the year. MEEHAX IXIQUE CHARACTER Nothing Pleases Big Heavyweight More Than to Cause a Laugh. SAN" FRANCISCO. Willie Meehan, the local heavyweight boxer, now an enlisted seaman in training at San Pe dro, Cal., who recently won a four round decision over Jack Dempsey, claimnant of the heavyweight cham pionship of the world, is considered one of the most unique characters of the ring. Nothing pleases Meehan more than to cet a laugh out of his apdience, es pecially if done at the expense of his ring opponent. For this he adopted style and tactics peculiarly his own amounting more or less to buffoonery. As a consequence his audiences look to him for amusement and he never has been taken seriously. Meehan has a way of getting in clos and playing a tattoo on his opponent's midriffs, swinging with both hands. These tlows have been dubbed "bass drum" punches by local ring followers and, for some reason, they have suc ceeded in bewildering most of the men ncainst whom the San Franciscan has fought. It was with these punches that he succeeded in outpointing Demp sey in three out of the four rounds of the exhibition match held for the bene fit of the Army and Navy athletic fund It was evident Dempsey was puzzled and at a loss to know how to counter them. MARINES EXPECT GOOD TEAM Every Man on Eleven Comes From College or Varsity. VALLEJO, Cal. The Marine Corps football team of the Mare Island Navy Yard, which last season won the cham pionship of the Facific Coast, expects to have another team this season which will be fully as strong as the 1917 ag cremation. It is a noteworthy fact that every man who is likely to get a place on the eleven formerly was a player on his college or university team. The ma jority oY these players are from insti tutions in the Northwest, with A ash insrton State College furnishing the preatst number of candidates. At the present time the team shapes up as follows: Hanley, Washington State College, left end: Shanedling. St. Mary's College, left tackle; Ixdell. Oro son Agricultural College, left guard Risberg, of Oregon, center: Moran Washington State College, right guard Tike, Seattle High School, right tackle Zimmerman, Washington Slate College, right end. In the back field will be Hanley. "Washington State College, captain and quarterback; steers, Oregon, fullback (Hover. Washington State College an Blewett, Lniversity of California, half backs. The material for a second tea also is made up largely of college men HERE ARE TWO WELL It- - J- BIRDS' SPEED GIVEN Hunter Who Is Statistics Crank Prepares Table. SNIPE DECLARED SLOWEST Place of Honor Awarded to Grand Old Canvasback Statement Al ways Provokes Interested Animated Discussion. Portland hunters are always argu ing about which species of game bird is the speediest and the argument is one that always provokes interested and animated discussion among sports men who are devotees of the scatter gun, and the various estimates of a body of gunners of the speed of dif ferent birds are apt to vary very greatly. The man who fires a charge of num ber sevens or sixes behind the retreat- ng form of an old cock blue grouse. as he darts like a bullet from tho top -of a rock bluff, to disappear in the depths of the tall timber below, is wili ng to swear that the old hooter was oing nothing less than 100 miles an hour, and the man who distributes unce after ounce of lead more more or less in the direction of twisting and turning snipe as they flit -in .zigzag areer over a Miarsh would find it hard to believe that. the snipe is the slowest f the bird3 at which he tries his skill. There is no doubt that the speed of birds is very deceptive, more espe- ially that of the larger birds, which appear to be moving at a much slower rate than they really are. owing to their size. The following table of rela tive speeds has been prepared by the statistics crank and may thww light on some of those misses which the gunner finds it hard to explain. It wiU be noted that among the birds listed the snipe is given the slowest speed. while the old honker, who appears to be traveling so leisurely on those too rare occasions when he by some miscalculation comes within range of he sportsmen's gun, looking as big as house and impossible to miss, is usually moving so very much raster than he appears to be that the charge of shot, which is blamed for not pene trating his dense plumage, is probably penetrating the atmosphere some dis tance in the rear of the grand old bird. me canvasDack is given pride ot place as the speediest trarveler, and, curiously enough, the mallard, ruffed grouse and the quail are bracketed equal in point of ability to hasten out of range. ' It may be said that if ducks are scared they are able to reach their maximum speed at will, and this sprint ing flight is usually what the gunner has to make allowance for. On the other hand, many wild fowl are jumped and killed while hovering over decoys and moving slowly, and birds like snipe and quail are often shot before they have attained full speed. Here is the table of comparative speeds alluded to: Feet per Birds second. Ave Quail C." S.I i0 7 :i Huffed grouse 80 to r.o to z: to 7. 6.1 7 so i:si 14.-. 1 10 120 Sni p ........

Transportation Branch Will Comprise About SOO.OOO Men and BOOO Officera Camp Now Open. Considerable first-class material for the personnel of the newly organized Motor Transport Corps of the Ameri can Expeditionary Force can be found among the many thousands of trap shooters who are serving with tho col ors and from Those who will soon re spond to the call to do battle with the Hun. Trapshooters are essentially, sports men of the highest order, and the driv ing of a truckload of ammunition in the front-line zone "over there" is es sentially a sporting proposition. One can well imagine how the average trap shooter would Jump at the chance for immediate service overseas and in the very thick of the most stirring doings. There is nothing suggestive of a "bomb-proof job about a service which sends stout hearts along roads under enemy, fire with needed rations for the boys in the front-line trenches, or speeding up to the limit to carry shells to batteries of artillery whose guns are keeping up a ceaseless drum fire on the hordes of Frussianism. Driving at night without lights. - KNOWN HUNTERS SNAPPED WHILE AFTER "CHINKS" IN VICINITY OF HILLSBORO. : "Sft f t. l x..v.

Is a real Job for a real sportsman, and Just the sort of a sporting proposition that would appeal to the fellows who have had their eyes made keen and their every faculty alert on the trapshooting firing line. 3o on is the motto of the Motor Transport Corps, and that means go on in every sense; go on when roads are bad, go on when a truck is ditched in the darkness or turns turtle at the bottom of a Bhell crater. The trucks must be gotten out of their difficulties, often under shellfire. for they must go on lest a position be lost through a battery's supply of ammunition becom ing exhausted. Thousands of trapshooters are own ers of automobiles and find pleasure, second only 4o the enjoyment of "the patriotic sport, In driving their cars. This class of trapshooters would get actual enjoyment out of driving an Army truck with all the thrills that accompany it under' battle conditions. The Motor Transport Corps is a new organization which takes over from the Quartermaster and other branches of the United States Army all motor ized vehicles except tractors and tanks. The new corps will comprise approxi mately 200,000 men and 5000 officers. A deluge of applications for service in the Motor Transport- Corps has poured into the headquarters at Wash ington. Among those applying are ex ecutives of big business and manufac turing concerns, automobile manufac turers and dealers, wealthy motor en thusiasts, bankers, lawyers, automo bile racers, college athletes, officers of non-combatant branches of the Army, mechanics and others representing every walk of life. Men in canton ments throughout the country are re questing transfer to the corps because of tae certainty of service on the other side. The officers' training camp of the Motor Transport Corps is said to have a long "waiting list" of men who see in this service opportunities for active duty of a most attractive character. While on the subject, it might not be amiss to suggest that a liberal sup ply of trench shotguns would likely PHove valuable as part of the equip ment for those who drive the trucks with their precious loads. E. J. Samp Coaches Williams. Williams College has named Edward J. Samp, a former Wisconsin football star, as coach, and has Benny Boynton, captain-elect of the team and star of last Fall's unbeaten aggregation, back in the fold. From the Williams stand point football prospects certainly look rosy, and football is expected to go ahead, with a big boom from now on. Samp played on the Wisconsin varsity eleven for three years, two of them at tackle and one at fullback. He grad uated in 1913 loaded down with honors, among them being a choice for All Western tackle in 1912. and mention by Walter Camp in his AU-American se lections.

(Special.) In prepa ration for the first game of the season, the Oregon Aggie football squad Is practicing dally under the direction of Coach Hargiss and H. C. McDonald. The opening game is scheduled with Van couver Barracks for October 12, and a hard struggle is anticipated. With the.few O. A. C varsity men as foundation. Hargiss is building a team of high school players with all Northwestern interscholastic records. Portland boys and others will be on tne new squad. The .new lineup which, of course. Is not detinue ior ine enure season, includes George Powell, of Portland, who played on the O. A- C freshman team last year. He is out for fullback.

'As announced last Sunday, the Mare Island Marines will not be seen In Portland until about the middle of No vember, and unless the quarantine is raised against Bill Dletz' crew, they may be forced to cancel their northern engagements. Louis Bruce, well-known member of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, returned last week from San Francisco and whiles there was requested by his friend. Captain Lynn Coovcrt, athletic officer at Mare Island, to arrange the game with the Vancouver Barracks eleven. Bruce has been talking the proposition over with the officer in charge at Vancouver and expects to reach some understanding with the Vancouver people this week. The en tire propostlon hangs in the balance on account of the Marines being quar antined at Mare Island, due to Spanish nfluenza. A game with the Oregon Aggies will also be arranged for Port land if the "devil dogs" come north. It Is planned to bring the famous Marine Band on the northern trip, and Bruce has taken the matter up with Mayor Baker, and it Is probable that if Seattle and Spokane are willing to pro-rate the expenses that the crack band will make the trip north. The Marines' football team is tentatively scheduled to play in both Washington cities. The famous Marine Band does a lot of traveling, playing for recruiting and patriotic purposes and they would prove a big attraction In the Northwest.

BOTH TEAMS' PLAY SURPRISES CROWD Inter-Scholastic Game Revela tion to Close Followers of Local Football. ROGAWAY SHOWS FORM Hanson, Ground Up to at Fallback, Consistent Gainer Robinson Lives Expectations and Cole and Beck Do Good Work. If the rest of the Interscholastic foot ball games are of the same caliber as the James John Lincoln game on Mult nomah Field, Friday, the followers of the sport are in for a number of good contests this season. A large crowd was on hand at the first game and much enthusiasm was in evidence. The playing of both teams surprised the close followers who had expected an Inferior brand of ball for the first game, at least, but such was not theJ case. Although both elevens will show up better after-" a week's more practice, neither can be censored for their show ing Friday, t'oacn Sanders at Lincoln received a setback .. few days before the opening of the season when he lost Fullback Twining and had to shift Han son in that position. Hanson played a good game at full against James John and was a con sistent ground gainer. Rogaway pluyedan excellent game at quarter- oacK lor iincoln and deserves a lot of credit towards winning the game,! 13 to 7. for his team. Rogaway was in on every play and had a hold of him self at all stages of the game. Robin son, who played right guard, lived up o expectations and nailed many a man. rving Cole showed his ability to shoot passes, and Beck, at right end. proved hla ability to receive the pigskin from the air. On the whole the Lincoln eleven has the makings of a cracker Jack aggregation and should be heard of throughout the season. James John fooled the wise ones bv their play. Herman Schroeder was a mountain of strength at fullback and along with Captain Uirt was the life of the team. The line upheld their end well, while Steans, at righthalf, tackled hard, if not often. Jower, the Chinese player, at quarter, did not have much of an opportunity to atar. but came to bat when needed for gains.
