Upon the result of th's contest depends not onlr the Oregon state cham pionship, but the championship of the : Pacific Northwest. Heretofore the an nual Thanksgiving games between these teams hair bean scoreless affairs, or have been won by the clubmen by the narrowest ot margins. However, It may be aald that, the clubmen have hereto- ; fore been vastly heavier than the col- ' legions, and not until this season have the .weights been equal. In age, experi nee and speed, the teams are also even ly matched, and while Multnomah will have the advantage of her home grounds. . &UW V ISllOT Will IIKTI UiUItt "HI ll corps, or team spirit, than the locals. : It Is a Strange fact that neither team has been scored against this season. Oregon having won two and tied three games, while Multnomah has three hard-earned Victories to her credit. - PLAYED GOOD GAMES. la due justice to the 'Varsity eleven, ft mar be said that Its members out played both the Agricultural College and Albany College In scoreless games, and -nothing but the hardest kind of hard luck, stood between Eugene and victory. Bo completely did Oregon outplay Albany In - the game of last Saturday that the Presbyterians were able to make their ' required yardage but once during the Whole Ct minutes of play. On the other hand, the Oregon backs gained at will through the rAIbany line an 1 around the ends, carrying the play always lno Al bany territory. OREGON AND P. 17 Next Friday, Oregon will Use up against ' Pacific University at Eugene. If the Oregon backs overcome their chief fault ; that of repeatedly f ambling the ball, Pa .clflo will stand little chance of winning, i. it Is quits likely that the Oregon men Swill eome to Portland with a record of i not having been soared - against during i tho season.

Aside front a few minor injuries, tho clubmen are in good condition.

Princeton "Subs" Waiting. The above snapshot show interesting and characteristic scenes at the great Yale-Princeton football game which took place at Princeton on the 15th. The contest between the Dark lilue eleven and the Yellow-and-Black team Is always regarded aa the big event of the intercollegiate football year. All over the country the news of the dewperate struggle was followed with breath and keen Interest. At Princeton a crowd numbering thousands of husky grads and undergrads and charming feminine admirers cheered these young giants to the echo. came "up groggy u. from the punishment and rushing he had previously received.

Rellly had the best of the mill all the way through and did not get a bruise or scratch. He will fight Al Nell next month. THE CONTEST WAS PLUCKY Graphic Account of the U. of W. and Multnomah Game. The Seattle Times, In Its wrlteup of the football game between Multnomah and the University of Washington elevens last Saturday, says: As usual In big struggles of this kind, the score of 7 to 0 tells but the bare outcome of the game. To the casual reader it carries no idea of the magnifi cent defensive work put up by the 'Var sity teams. Any old football man can see In his mind's eye the great throng of rooters, their frenzied, yells and their ioyai sup port Any old football man can see that great throng trooping silently out of the grand stand. When he thinks oi the rain that fell In a steady downpour, he can also see the muddy boys in blue sweat ers. with blood streaming down their ' faces and tears, too, in some cases, as they realized that despite their great de fensive playing, despite thoir rattling rallies, their grit, determination, pluck and ginger, they lost the -frame. It was gone. Football history must record the fact that Multnomah had won. Wash ington's record had vanished. She was outplayed, and worse still, o Jtgeneralcd. When the final whistle b;ew, dashing with its piercing -strains the farewell hope of Washington, there was at least one man on the local team whose heart was heavy within him. He had fought desperately. He ha worked with every fractional ounce of bone and muscle In his body. He had pleaded, cursed and exhorted. He had kicked, btnashed and ran. He had aLrown himself with the utmost alianrtoilllnto the very heart of every play. NoTnatter how bruised and battered he became, he had always faced the very teeth of the battle, and was at all times in the center of the fray. His past record, one of the most brilliant ever made by a gridiron hero for Wash ington, had stood ever before li'm, urging him on to do or die. THE GREAT LEG FAILED. But the great right leg that had kicked Washington ' to more than rne victory I kicked In vain. The cool, collected head that had piloted the state "V" through three desperate battles to plorlous vic- lpnf Dnrf lanH with" V ICVV 1 1 i 5 tiA-L ' - torles failed him. Poor Judement lost the day for Washington, and that same Judgment came from a man who has the license to he the superior of any player on the entire Pacific Coast. No matter how sad and sorrowful the rooters were; no matter how badly the team felt; it all faded to Insignificance I In comparison with the personal feelings of Ouarterback SDledel. He left that muddy gridiron when the game was over battered, bruised and torn. There was blood on his white set face, and al though his eyes gleamed fiercely with an undying determination, they were full of unshed tears. Although Multnomah In the main outplayed the locals, and al though Center Scherer must be censured for his high passing when It came to kicks, the loss of the game, or at least the failure to score a touchoown, must be charged to Spledel. WAS BADLY RUN. Man for man, and team for team, Wash ington was Just as strong as Multnomah. While she fell down on kicking, she made up for it in other ways. The team was run badly, that's all. The "Varsity often kicked on the first and second down, when lt would have been policy to use Maxey on the ends. Especially was !t poor head work to kick us often aa she did. when Cook was out punting Bpy every mark In the road. However, the game Is lost, and even though Washington has practically aa good a team, she must swallow her de feat and say, "Go to It. Multnomah, thou art the huckleberry." Vnr he vtHltom.

Umpire ChauweV Fisher, who did a atuut here last. Summer as umpire, and made a brilliant sucess as a failure, made one of the California magnates believe that he could pitch hall until he took his place In the box. Mike Fisher, who was handed the gold brick, tells the story in the Sporting News: "A losing team makes a manager's life miserable. It cost me J300 to have a single game pitched this year and Sacra mento's share of the gat that-day was only $47. Don t talk to. me about your, philanthropists .because"! . am thjre my self. How did it happen, and who w'as the man? Chauncey Fisher was the fa vored 'gold brick' tliat my friend Joe Cantillon wired out was all the loose change In a pitching way, and I Jumped at the bait. He got here and Jollied me along for several weeks before I could get him in the box. 'Wanted to get accli mated.' he said. You know the rest He had more kinds of slow balls than I ever saw btfora or since. Toward the end of the gam he bounded 'em to the plate. Thought he was playing cricket, I guess. After the game I cainily but firmly told h!m to take his clothes and go. Then I figured up and found that. Including salary, railroad fare and incidentals the managerial exchequer had been aet hack to the extent of 300 bucks. Mike Birm ingham and Jake Rebsamen were two prize packages that came to me from the East well recommended. Oh, I have' learned the game very rapidly this year, but I'll be there next season with a ilrst- w,, Jjf if Mt.( I--''-',, PRIZE FIGHTS-- VS. FOOTBALL Comparison of the Dangers of Both the Sports. A comparison of the dangers of foot ball and those of prize fighting is inter esting, to say the least. Here are re ports of Important happenings in both branches of sport. One tells of the In juries to Princeton's players in last Sat urday's game with Columbia; the other Is a detailed account of the final round of the recent Jeffries-Ruhlln prise fight for the world's championship. Which seems the most brutal? THE PRIZE FIGHT. Round Flve Jeffries' straight arm blows were blocked. "Jeff" landed light poke on Jaw and short left to ribs, and then again to neck with right Ruhltn retreated. "Jeff" followed, touching Ruhltn under the chlo with lls right, and Gus went to the floor but was up at the count of "nve.' Ruhltn seemed dazed and missed wild swings. Jeffries went in for a knockout. In the last minute f the round Ruhlln was struck In the pit of the stotiach. Jeffries was going at him fiercely now, .and when thr gong sounded Ruhlln was assisted to his corner. He a!d something to Billy Madden, - and then "Denver Ed" Martin walked to the center of- the ring and told Referee Corbett: "We give up." Ruhltn, beyond being dazed, was appar ently unhurt. THE FOOTBALL GAME. The Tigers are starting this week with high hopes and with a confidence in the team not seen this year. Columbia took away a defeat, but lefi behind them some ugly scratches on the Tiger's slcfe. In fact, Princeton suffered more than Co lumbia In the way of injury. The little quarterb-irk, Burke, is out of the game for the season, If the doc tor's word can be taken. He had his collar bone broken and will be on his back for a week or so at least Kafer fared but little better, having received the same kind of Injury, but the bone was not broken all the way through. He may get In trim for the Yale game on November 15. but chances are against tj him. Tooker had three teeth knocked out, and Moore has a wrenched knee. This is a long list of Injuries, and takes away a great part of the enthusiasm over the unexpected victory. O'BRIEN AND HART TO MEET. PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Nov. 19.

INDIANS ARE COMING WEST Carlisle Will Visit Pacific Coast After Thanksgiving. It has been practically decided that the Carlisle Indian football team, will make 4 a trip to California after Thanksgiving to play a few games. It will be remem bered that the Indians hold the record for going the greatest distance to play a single football game? having, In 1899, made the trip from Carlisle to San Fran cisco for the purpose of playing at the latter place. The team which will go Is as follows, the names of the first substitutes follow ing those of the regular team men for the same position: Left end, Beaver, Mathews; left tackle, White, Bowen; left guard, Philips, Tomahawk; center, Wheelock, Schouchuk; right guard, Lubo, Dillon; right tackle, Exedine, James; right end, Bradley, Fisher; quarter back, Johnson, Cornelius; left half back, Parker, Yarlett; right half back, Sheldon, Charles; full back, Williams, Charles (captain). INTEREST IN THE GRIDIRON Individual Enthusiasm Is Intense Throughout the Land. "There seems io be an unusual public Interest In the game of football," says George W. Woodruff in the Chicago Trlb- -ikms -."This nt eresi i& "more Drono-mscwiJ in the East than the West as far as the number of enthusiasts is concerned, but the intensity jof footballitea in the indi vidual seems to be about equal from ocean to ocean. "For years I have noticed this enthusi asm with growing wonder. At first I at tributed it to a fad. A great many girls attached themselves with more or less serious loyalty to this, that, or the other college. Their excuse for becoming par tisans of their chosen universities ranged from close relationship to graduates or undergraduates down to the acquain tance with some member of the college or even no excuse at all. I am sorry to say that zeal and loyalty In the case of the fair sex Is seldom based upon any real fundamental merit In the football sys tem of the chosen college. "Why, you wlll ask, does the following of a college, and the student body, too, for that matter, choose football as the peg "upon which to hang the banner of their loyalty? I believe I can give a few hints In .answer to thts question. The Joy and pain or rub and wear and strug gle in the real college life Is at once too complex and too sacred to parade before the eyes of a careless world. Think of the life of a family. The real gist of it is In the dearly monotonous round of dally duty, and care, and love, and for bearance, btu the outward show tttht which the thoughtless world Bees and pauses to observe is -the - infrequent birthday festival, the Thanksgiving din ner, the ; Christmas Jubilation, .the wed ding feast, or even the funeral proces sion. Thus the daily study, and brain exercise, and lecture, and recitation, are deep In the real life of the college Itself. Unless, however, you are admitted to the bosom of the college family you will not wish to follow Its monotonous course with more than a passing glance of b'ored indifference. When, however, the .college indulge In gaiety, when colors are pinned to lapeL flags are flaunted, cheers ring out and songs are sung, then those who have adopted the college for their seal find their hearts palpitate with pride and hope, while even the rank outsider feels himself carried away by the wave of mesmeric enthusiasm. - "For this reason akin to that hinted above athletics, the mere froth on the surface of college life, come to be the vehicle for the expression of that life. Of athletics, football seems capable of arous ing the greatest Interest The reasons for this are Inherent in the fiber of man.

It is true, nevertheless, that even the mild lady and philosophical professor need only to be assured that all savagery has been eliminated from the play And that the object of the personal encounters, taking place on the field, is not to do bodily Injury to opponents, but to ac complish a definite result. Involving neither anger nor HIwlH they need this I assurance only to make them look on at bloody and dangerous scrimmages with I no compunctions of conscience. There Is j another reason, however, which comes to the rescue of our self respect. ! "Football Is far and away the brainiest physical game of those Indulged In by colleges. It Is a game which gives un- I limited srope to th inventive genius of coach, captain and players before the contest begins. When once the fight is on, tho opportunity for headwork Is In creased rather than diminished. The at tack and defense is planned and prepared with care before the struggle. They must be varied during its progress, lo meet unexpected conditions. "But some readers will say that foot ball is a slow game, and although It does attract more spectators than lacrosse or cricket or baseball, there Beems to be no good reason for such disproportionate In terest. I hear it argued that lacrosse or even association football, with their con tinuous activity, ought to be more inter esting than Hubgy football, in which play never continues more than a few seconds at a time, and In which the delays are frequent and protracted. I have been asked to explain why people feel this ap parently unreasonable interest. "The explanation lies in the slowness, which would seem, at first thought, to be a cause for disgust. Jf however, a jaim. of 'lacrosse were "stopped every Few sec onds, such cessation of play would not Increase Ita, Interest. Quite the reverse. In footbalf the stops are taken in order that the next play may be chosen and in-' dlcated to the team by that player whv. Is actmg as captain. The spectator may and usually does employ that moment to . do a little captaining on his own account. He may tell his neighbor what he would , have done and what he would do If only he were running the team. Thus the gaps In the play are a source of satisfaction ! to the spectators."

READY FOR ANY TEAM Issue a Sweeping Challenge to the Northwest.- ' Et'OENB. Nov. 19. Through Capt. Watts,-of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, has been issued a sweeping chal lenge to meet any team in the North west for the Intercollegiate champion ship game. Capt. Watta said: "Aside from the crack Multnomah eleven, Oregon is the only team of the Northwest that has not been scored against during the present season. It Is true that we have won fewer victories, but the fact remains that the University of Washington has no more claim to the championship title than Oregon has. It is true that Washington has won every collegiate game on her schedule, and that the 'Evergreen' foam has a trifle the bet ter of the- situation when Its scores are compared with ours. Comparison of method of settling the question of grid iron superiority, in 1SW0. Oregon was de feated by Stanford University by a 34-to-0 score. The next week Oregon de tested Berkeley, 2 to 0. When Berkeley ?nil Stanford ldayed ft few weeks later the latter team had the hardest kind of a time winning, finally doing so by a score of 5 to 0. This example, as well us many others, only serves to remind us that si-ore championships are, to say the least, very unsatisfactory. If Washington wants the championship, she will have to play for it. We shall openly challenge I Washington, or any other team claiming '. the Northwest intercollegiate champlor, I ship, to a match gime, to be played on ; Saturday, December 0. on Multnomah j fcld. or any other neutral ground. This I challenge is open, not only to Washing j ton, but to any other college team that i has a claim to the coveted title. T I "Albany people admit that their team i was outplayed by Oregon last Saturday, and Albany's captain told one of our j players that Oregon should have won by 1 three touchdowns. If Albany cares to ! HI the date on December 6 we will be i glad to take them on for a game. I do not wish the Impression to go abroad that the University of Oregon Is laying claim to championship honors, but as our team j one of the strongest In the Northwest, no other can boast of the honor without having defeated us " EUGENE AND AsuUND, EUGENE. Nov. 19. A close and scores less game was played yesterday afternoon NHWeeh the 'Varsity second team and the Ashland Normal eleven.
