V ; FRESHMEN ARE FIRED UPON Forty Students Take Part in the Battles, Which Come i Nearly Resulting: i ' - Fatally. ' Seattle, Dec. 15. The freshman- sophomore warfare at the state univer sity took a serious turn last night. A band of freshmen were fired upon while surrounding a house in which one of the sophomores, Ormund, who play ed right end on the varsity team, lived, under the supposition that they were burglai'3. Later, Ormund, bound hand and foot, was thrown into Lake Union and was rescued with difficulty. Miles Leiser, another sophomore, was bound. He was seized with a cramp, thrown into the lake, with his hands but waa rescued by a freshman, Her bert Gaston, who swam out and carried him to shore. Some 40 freshmen and sophomores were engaged, in last night s Dames. The trouble has been going on for three or four days. It started when the soph omores tore down a trophy w hich had been used !n the decorations for the freshman class dance last Friday. At that time one of ihe sophomores cut orie ot the freshmen with an ax j Sunday Defeat j i Is Not Relished Multnomah Club Disclaims Re sponsibility for the Disaster t atA.F. C. Park Here.

Despite the fact that Chief Hallook provided police officers for Sunday's game, great difficulty was experienced in keeping the crowd off the field. It is evident that rigid rules must be adopt ed and enforced, for the presence of several hundred excited men and boys on the field ruins the sport for the crowd In the grand stand, besides Inter fearing very seriously with the players.

He desires to make the I announcement that the team had noth ing to do with the club, and says the men who came down under false colors subjected themselves to severe censure. Mr. McMillan need not become excited, for the men carried out his instructions explicitly. They repeatedly stated aft. er their arrival that they were to be known as the "All Stars." for well known reasons that all amateurs will readily understand. A representative of this paper was requested to refer to the team as the "All Stars," and did so, ad ding the explanation that the men were first and second team Multnomah play- Of the eleven athletes on the field Sunday, four were first team men and the others were the most promising of the substitutes. That reference to the team as the . Multnomah . eleven has injured the finer sensibilities of Mr. McMillan, Mr. Horan and others is to be regretted, but the fault, The Asto rlan and News assures the offended champions, Is not that of the young men from the Multnoman uiuo who met defeat Sunday afternoon. .! . . k- , The showing made by the Commer cial Club football team in its game with Multnomah Sunday has aroused local enthusiasm to a high pitch. The clean cut victory and the frank admissions of the visitors that the Commercial eleven has no superior In the northwest created a hope that a 'game may be ar ranged with Multnomah's first team, which haB defeated all comers thus far. A match either here or at Portland would draw an enormous crowd. All of the men who played Sunday In the Multnomah team expressed surprise that the Astoria team should have showed such excellent coaching and team work, and the opinion was gen eral that Astoria ..-ould wrest the cham pionship from Multnomah.; There Is still some question among those not thoroughly acquainted with the technical points of the game as to the score on Sunday, and an error in yesterday's Astorian and News served to add to the confusion. The score was 15 to 0, and not 16-0, as has been stated. Astoria scored three touchdowns, each counting 5 points. Barker's first try for goal was made from a very difficult angle. The kick was a beautiful one and it seemed for a momont that he would score an almost Impossible goal. The ball went about two Inches to one side, however, and after that failure the score was 5-0. Then Astoria scored the second touchdown. The ball struck the goal posts when Barker made his second attempt to kick the goal, the scora the nstanding 10-0. The third goal was made on Barker's 25-yard run, and the crack Astoria end was enabled to carry the ball directly behind the fcoal posts, so as to get a clear try for the additional point However, he kicked, wildly, although to the specta tors on the side lines It seemed that the kick was successful. In yesterday's Astorian' and News It was erroneously ' stated that Astoria scored a touchdown "which carried with it 'no score. " ; The local team scored a touchbaek instead, a touch down, of course, being Worth fire points Abercrombie punted the ban clear over Muftnomah'g line, where Crosby, Mult- nomah's fullback, picked it up. He waa tackled behind the goal posts and downed1, the play constituting a touch back. The ball was then taken to Mult nomah's 25-yard line, where the visitors decided to scrimmage.
