V , i i tober 8. Tom halls thm Astoria and. while he Is loyal to Multnomah, yet he hates to line up against his home crew. tt Is decided o make Tom the pivot in the new play, culled the - "cramp wedge," so that he will be compelled to be In the piny whether or not he likes It: Of course, Ross has never been ac cused of cowardice on the gridiron. This scheme has been plotted In order that Multnomah will get Tom's best services In the gume, us, he Is a "Holy Roller," once he gets real angry. Iat y&r a fellow named Overall stepped on Tom's foot In the Uerkeley-Mullnonmh game and Ross resented It by pushing the great "Ovle's" eye In about two Inches. Another player named Atkin son, noted for rough usage, walked on Tom's stomach during a scrimmage, and the result was that the Infuriated Tom promptly pulled Atrlnson's nose guard off. These traits are cited merely for the protection of men who oppose Tom. The "cramp wedge," was flrst used by Tale In ', and derived Its name from Walter Camp, the alleged patron of American football, It Is a crush Ing, whirling, bussing play, that com pletely hides the ball, and the chances for the runner getting away being very good. The play worked successfully lant night and will not be used In pub Ho until the flrst game. LOOKING FOR HARD GAME. Multnomah Football Team Preparing for Commercial Eleven. Portland Journal: That the Mult nomah football team does not Intend taking chances with the strong Asto ria eleven on the 8th of next month was evidenced last evening by the long and vigorous practice held at the B. S. A. gymnasium. In which 35 play ers and thfee coaches participated. The new signals that were announced on Monday evening were changed last night, the new code being simpler to comprehend, yet harder for opposing teams to figure out Chester Murphy was In charge of the team play and the famous Stanford quarterback put the candidates through a most Inter esting evening's engagement, every play in' the category being tried. Dr. Slocum, a former halfback on Multnomah,' was out last night end showed spurts of. his earlier speed and cleverness. Tom Healey, a halfback on the Anaconda eleven, was in the fray last night, and showed the boys how halfbacks play In Montana Girl's Sorry Plight Tacoma, Sept. 11. Not often does a more pitiful case come to the atten tion of officers than that of Emma Swanson, aged It years, who gave birth to a baby In a tent, all alone, at the Puyallup hopflelds. She told her troubles to no one, and though her con dition was noted, others fought shy of her. After the birth of the child, a neigh bor happened to hear the Infant's cries, and notified the county authorities, who promptly moved mother and child to a nearby house, wheer they could receive proper treatment. When found, she was lying on a bare pallet of straw, with scarcely any covering. Her story Is a sad one. Her mother died when she was I years old. Since that time she has made her own liv ing, although her father Is alive. She Is Independent and self-reliant, and very proud of her little baby, which she watched with Jealous eye, refusing to go to sleep until assured that It would not be taken from her. She claims the author of ber trouble Is a Scandinavian named Olsen. Olsen re cently met an accident on the Tacoma Eastern railroad, and lost a foot, and Is now at the hospital. What Is Life? In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that It Is under strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results.
