Whether or not the Jefferson high school eleven will walk off with the interscholastic football championship for Its second straight year probably will be decided on Multnomah field Wednesday afternoon. when the Democrats are scheduled to clash with Washing-ton high school, in what will be the crucial high school game of the 1919 season. Jefferson has gone through the sea son without a defeat being chalked up against it and has amassed six straight games. Coach Qulgley's .squad has but two more games to play. Washington Wednesday and Hill Military academy next Monday. If Jefferson is able to triumph over Washington there is little doubt in anyone's mind but that they will be nhle to score a win -over Hill. Al though the Cadets boast of a fast, lighting eleven, they do not rate to beat Jeff, so it is up to Washington if a win is to be registered against Jeff this season. W'aMhinston Defeated Once. Washington has bowed to defeat hut once James John being the aggre gation to trim them. To date they have won five games and lost the one. The Washington team looks to be a c reatly improved team over the first of the season and has settled down to real football. Very few fumbles, many of which marked the team's farly games, have been noticeable in the last few contests. If the play ers are in slape when Wednesday rolls around Jefferson may be in for a licking, although It will take some fast work to stop Norman (Zip) You mans, the flashy Jefferson quarter ' back. It might sound ridiculous to call Jefferson a one-man team, and it may not be true, but any of the close fol lowers of the intersch :lastic sanies who were on hand to witness the Co z lumbia-Jeff erson game last week will testify that the team is a mighty dif ferent outfit when Youmans is on the bench. Either he instills the neces sary fight in his teammates, or it is his great individual playing when needed that has put Jefferson over in more than one game. Of course, there have been times when he has not been right, and has not looked so good, but his presence in the lineup seems to help 50 per cent. Backs About Eqanl. Julian, Tousey and Sutton, who complete the Jefferson back fie Id. will not tower much over the combination of Ritchie. Hurlbut and Meyers of Washington, with Edlund at quarter back. J ulian is one oT the best men ihat Jefferson has and one of the best halfbacks in the league. Sutton ranks not far behind. Gilbert Ritchie looks to be Washington's best bet in the back field, and but for a bad leg would outclass many at hie position The Washington line will outweigh Jefferson's front at least 10 pounds to the man, that is If Coach Tegart uses the same men who have been playing all season. Scott, King, John son, Quinn. Haynes are all huskies and will average 175 pounds to the man. Two other games, both of which should be good ones, will be played this week. James John will take the field against Franklin Thursday after noon on Multnomah field, while Ben son is srheduled to meet Commerce Friday afternoon. , Three Ties Pomilble. As It stands now James John is tied with Washington for second place, and the double J aggregation is still in the running for a tie for the title. If Washington beats Jefferson and then all three teams go through with out any more defeats they will all be tied for first honors, with seven wins and one loss apiece, for the season. It promises to be some sensational close, in fact, the closest in some years. In the past, two teams have tied for first honors, but seldom are three bunched. Jefferson was the only team that has been able to defeat James John. Three games will round out the rinsing week of the interscholastic football season. Jefferson plays Hill Monday. November 24; James John battles Columbia November 25 and the curtain will be rung down on No vember 26. when Washington and Lincoln will meet in their annual bat tle on Multnomah field. rv- : ;-rVi-v . - - - - - - .; . . . t t, , sr-"?

Edward J. O'Connell Promises Fistic Followers Some of Great est Matches Seen Here. Multnomah Amateur Athletic club will stage its first invitatioifal smok er of the Beason in xne wingea ju.. gymnasium on Thanksgiving eve, No vember 26. According to hdvara J. O'Connell, boxing and wrestling in structor at the club, the fistic fol lowers will see the greatest series of amateur boxing contests ever held in this city. Two Pacific coast cham pions and two Canadian title holders wilt battle In the headline bouts, ana there will be mittmen gathered from every big amateur athletic organiza tion on the coast and in the northwest. Seven inter-club bouts and three preliminaries among Multnomah club boxers will make up the nrst cara or its kind staged in Portland in six years. Nearly every boxer competing on the card holds an amateur title of some sort, the best known being Fred Murphy of the Olympic club, holder of the Pacific coast championship title in the 10s pound class. Murphy will clash with Carmen Heim, Mult nomah club's champion. Heim. who tips the scales at ex actly 108 pounds, has always been forced to give away weight. In San Francisco he gave eight pounds to the best boys on the coast and won second place. In his match here with Murphy. Heim will be forced to give the California boxer the best of it by a few pounds. . Basketball still continues to hold the attention of many of Multnomah club members. More interest is being manifested in the basketball house league than'ever before in the his tory of the institution and the ten teams in the two circuits are battling to keep in the running for the three game series between the champions of the National and American league which George A. Anderson, chairman of basketball activities at the Winged M institution, has arranged to decide the championship of the club. Man ager Anderson has arranged to give medals to the members of the team which comes out victorious in. the three-game clash. The teams of Leggett and Martilla in the National league and Reisch and Wilsey in the American circuit-are scheduled to clash this morning on the club floor. That Will Ranft of H.os Angeles Athletic club and his teammate, not yet selected, will play an exhibition game with two Winged M handball "sharks" on the night of the big smoker, November 26, has been an nounced by Chairman Stacy Hamil ton of the handball committee. The programme calls for a doubles match to be held prior to the big inter-club boxing smoker and rally. Opponents for the visitors have not yet bern determined, as the scratch tourna ments are now beins" played off and today Ray Watkins and Stacy Hamil ton are the only ones who have quali fied for the round robins.

(Spe cial.) Bob Martin, the big Akron (Ohio) heavyweight, who claims the championship of the American expe ditionary forces in France, has passed up a very lucrative offer to meet Dick O'Brien of Cincinnati in this city, and the Queen City boxer and his man ager, ' Biddy" Bishop, are now dick ering with, western promoters for a secies of matches through Washing ton. Oregon and California. "I made Martin what I thought was a fair offer to meet O'Brien here, but he saw fit to refuse it." said Dom inick J. Tortorich, the local promoter who has just signed Jack JDem psey and Joe Beckett for a contest here on March 17. "It looks to me that Mar t in is afraid to- risk his laurels with O'Brien." MJ WINCHESTER SHOOTING TOUR PROVES TO BE BIG SUCCESS Thousands Turned Out in Thirty-one Cities to Witness Exhibitions by Champions Who Made New World's Record. BY PETER P. CARNEY. TOURING nine states and appear ing in the exhibitions in 31 cities, the Winchester, shooting team did more" TO popularize trapshooting than anything that has heretofore been done in that direction. Thousands of persons turned out to witness the exhibitions bv the team and the Topperweins and gm clubs of no less than 50 cities have made requests for exhibitions by the team and the Topperweins for 1920. That is evidence conclusive that the people of the country like to see good things whether it is "golf, baseball or trap shooting. It is always a pleasure to watch men perform who excel in their specific lines. Team XV n All Claaa. There was a lot of class to the Wln '.hester team. It took real shooters to give the exhibitions they did and keep up under the one-night stands and the hundred and one other things that were encountered. All told, each member of the team fired at 3005 tar gets. With the new ventilated rib, 12-gauge gun, the team shot at tar gets thrown from a large hand trap, from the regular trap and at ten pairs With the new .410 auge gun targets were shot at from the small hand trap, the small stationary trap and the regular trap. Switching from the 12 gauge to the .410 gauge is not the easiest thing in the world, but these shooters did it in a perfectly good way. And the way they introduced the little gun is bound to make it popular. The idea jf this gun is to increase shooting imong boys and girls, and there isn't he least doubt but that it will. Taylor Waa Hitch Man. John Taylor of Newark, O., led the team in the number of targets broken with 2706, breaking 2083 of the large targets and 623 of the small ones. Charley Spencer of St. Louis broke 20S3 of the large targets, being high in this line of shooting, and smashed 598 with the small gun, a total of 2691. J. Mowell Hawkins of Harris burg, Pa., was third in targets broken with 2044 of the large ones and 576 of the small ones, a total of 2620. Mrs. Ad Topperwein of San Antonia, Tex., was fourth in scoring with 2589, get ting 1999 of the large ones and 590 with the small gun. Fred Bills of Chicago was the tail to the kite with 2534 breaks. 2013 of the large targets and 521 of the small ones. Mrs. Topperwein proved on this trip, just as she did on the tour made by the Winchester team 13 years ago, that a woman with -proper practice could shoot as well as a man. Day in and day out Mrs. Topperwein blazed away at the targets and usually could be found near the front. Mrs. Big gridiron contests in the north west will be a scarce article next Sat tiday with the Oregon Aggle-Wash-lrstor Slate college game the only contest Jf Importance listed in the cenfronce schedule. The University of Oirgon and University of Wash ington elevens will remain Idle next Saturday, but both 'will swing into ertlon on November 27, Thanksgiving day. Although Oregon Agricultural col lege has met with a series of setbacks this season, interest in its battle here next Saturday with Washington State college is not lacking. Il will be somewhat in the nature of a consola tion game, wi.h both tams out to make up for yesterday's disastrous results, the Aggies going down to a to 0 defeat at the hands of Ore gon, while the University of Wash ington upset the Cougars' drive for the Pacific coast title by administer ing to them a 13 to 7 lacing. It is estimated that next Saturday's crowd will rival that which attended the recent contest between the Uni versity of Oregon and Washington State college, both of which were un defeated team in the conference. AM of the teams ;n the Pacific coast and northwest con fcrence have now tast ed the bitter drgs of defeat and know just what it is to be on the short ei. d of the score. Oregon Agricultural college put up a hard battle against the lemon-yel low machine, while the University of Washington, the rated underdoes of the north, came through with fly in colors. Just what team will land the i big game in Pasadena will remain a ' mysttiy-. for a while at least. Wash- ingt3ns victory over the Staters on ' their home grounds makes "Shy" Huntington's team loom big despite its 7 to 0 loss to Washington State. Oregon yet thinks it may capture the big contest in the south. A game to which there is not a great deal of local interest attached, but which is stirring up the terra 1 firma in oth-r regions, is the Stan I ford-California imbroglio next Sat I urriay.

The sky will be the limit. As an inducement to get all of the members out to the tournament it is being arranged to have special squads for beginners and new-comers to the trapshooting game. Many figure that they did not have a chance against the better trapshots. but with special squads for the "wozzy" nimrods this idea will be done away with and the event should attract a record turn out. Shooting will commence at 10 o'clock Sunday morning and probably continue until Old Sol seeks to hide his roseate face behind the hills. if he turns out November 23.

SAN TMEOO, Cal., Nov. 15. Plans were complete tonight for the tele graph tournament which was ar ranged by the Pacific Coast Howling association and in which 61 teams, rep resenting 27 cities in six states, will contest for honors. Secretary Waldo T. Tupper announced that play in all but one city would start at 2:30 P. M. Sunday and may continue until 10:30 1. M., coast time- All scores will be sent here by telegraph. "Many of the best teams on the Pacific coast are entered." said Tup per tonight, "and we expect that some record breaking scores will be made." One team, the Y. M. C. A. of Tuc son.

Islam Temple of San Francisco has scheduled a tournament over the Del Monte first course for the week-end. of Decem ber 6 and 7. John IX McOilvra'y, potentate, declares that there are a number of good golfers in the or ganization. There will be an array of cups set up. The death of Earl H. Pier, promi nent young attorney of San Fran cisco, at the Hotel Del Monte on Tuesday morning comes as a shock to the golfing fraternity. The deceased had brought along his clubs to Del Monte when he was stricken with the fatal illness and he was figuring on regaining his health on the links. Major D. R. Caldwell of Australia has been giving a good account of himself on the Del 'Monte -links for the past month. Major Caldwell is one of the heroes of the war. Al though only a youngster in his early '20s he is credited with having downed 21 Hun planes. The California junior champion ship at Del Monte on November 2T. 28, 29 and 30 is expected to bring out a representative field of young golfers. It will be held in conjunc tion with the annual Thanksgiving tournament for men and women. Dr. F. W. Skaife, one of the Del Monte regulars, has had a varied golfing career. He has played on courses throughout this country and Canada. J. V. Rittenhouse. who has been prominent on the two local courses for the past year or so while residing in his beautiful home at Pebble Beach, is going to South America for a trip. He will take along his golf clubs in the hopes of getting in some matches. The Pebble Beach course, which was only formally opened last Feb ruary, is now being worked into tip top condition and it is winning the admiration of the players. It is pre dicted that Pebble Beach will take its place as the finest links to be found .any place in the country, not only for Its picturesque scenery and j location but its facilities for hih- 1 class S9.U -' Mr ' v rW I " f -v- I i I I' t - . v , t ill 1 , , , - x 1 ; - . . t aaaiM iaaiMi i?

Ohio states star halfback, playing the next to his last game for Ohio state, saved his team from pos- sinie oeieat today when he booted a drop-kick from the 20-yard line, beat ing Wisconsin, 3 to 0. before 15,000 spectators. The narrow victory strengthens Ohia state's grip on the "big ten" title. The Ohioans have gone through the rac? with a cleun slate, having de feated Michigan, Purdue and W iscon sin. They will meet Illinois at Co lumbus next Saturday. Fought to a stindstill for three pe riods, the Ohioans opened up a vicious attack In ' the fourth and scored a touchdown on a forward pass, but the score was not allowed because Har ley, passing the ball to Stinchcomb. quarterback, had reached the line of scrimmage before having the ball. When the ball was brought back into play on the 20-yard line, Harley dropped back for a drop-kick and bcoted the ball squarely between Wis- 1 consin's goal posts.

We are willing to wager that it hurt him more than the battering he received at the hands of Jack Demp-sey. As yet it has not been decided whether to stage an event on Thanks giving day. November 27, but becaus of other m t tract ions and the turkey shoot Sunday. November 23, it is not likely that any activities will hold the boards at Everding park on that date. The next big-time event at the Portland Oun club will be the annual conclave and tournament of the Ore gon Sportsmen's league, which is slated to be held on Monday. Decem ber 8. A practice shoot will be in vogue on Sunday. December 7. As yet all of the details for the stag ing of the Oregon Sportsmen's league shoot have not been arranged but are in the formation. A great programme is being prepared by the officials of the Portland Gun club and the Ore gon Sportsmen's league, and a ban ner event is looked for. Officials of the Olympic club ot San Francisco are planning a world's championship shoot to be held over the Lakeside traps in February. At a recent meeting of the board of di rectors of the Olympic club It was voted to aut horize the purchase of $500 worth of prizes and also to ap propriate $1000 in cash prizes. It is intended that such an event shall attract shooters from all over the country. A large perpetual cup is to be installed in the Olympic club and each year the name of the winner will be inscribed upon it. The cup will be in addition to the cash prizes and trophies awarded. The secretary's report at the recent meeting of the American Trapshoot ing association in New York, gave out the following; interesting infor mation: The secretary's report announced 432 registered tournaments during the year, including 45 state champion ships and two championships of prov inces in Canada. Reports on 406 of these tournaments show that 873 1 shooters participated in them and tiiat a total of 5.07 3,3d 1 clay Mrds were projected, an average of 14,950 a tournament. In the state cham pionships 3617 took part, 1.S06.563 bluerocks were thrown, an average of 3S43. Benny Leonard insists that one of a boxer's most valuable assets is a left jab. Granted. B-it.
