(Journal Special Service.) University of Oregon, Kugens, Nov. It. What promises to be tha closest and most Interesting game of football on the Interoolleglate schedule will be played on Klncaid field next Saturday, whan the University or Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural college will pla) their . annual game. Since the return of the Oregon team from Seattle, Coach Smith haa called for only light work, as ha wlahes his men to be In fighting trim for their game with the "Aggies.'' Aside from a few minor brulaes, the 'varsity men are tn good shape, and it is expected that they will play their hardest in the game on Saturday. During the early part of tha season the Agricultural college eleven played listless ball, and Jts games with Wash ington, Multnomah and Albany resulted In defeats. The team had a bad "slump" for several weeks, but when the Wash ington Agricultural college eleven came down from Pullman, the CorvalUa lada regained their fighting stride and won by a acore of 6 to 0. Five daya previous to this the Oregon 'varsity and the Pull manites played a scoreless game on Klncaid field. .Comparisons Made. Such ft comparison of scores gives O. A. C. a shade the better of the out look, but when It Is remembered that Oregon defeated Albany 22 to 0, and Albany downed O. A. C. by I to 0, the Oregon stock goes up a notch. How ever, comparison or scores Is not a very fair method of getting a line on the possible outcome of a game, and realising thia, the Oregon 'varsity boya have buckled down to their work with a do-or-die determination that speaks volumes. . Oood Coaches. The same may be said of the Cor valllsltes. Coach "Tommle" McFadden Is working like a Trojan with his men, and he Is being assisted by his brother, Ralph McFadden, the Pacific university coach, and Fred A. Edwarda, the man who worked wonders with Albany last year. Edwards Is an old Oregon player, having played on the famous '99 eleven the strongest football aggregation ever turned out by a Pacific Northwest college. Under the direction of the Mc Fadden brothers and Edwards, the "farmers" will put up a stubborn de fense and will play to win Local sports believe that the 'varsity will come out a winner, and if the Corvallls people have any coin of the realm to wager on O. A. C. they will certainly be accommodated. The coming game will settle the state championship for the twtwon of 1903. William Lair Thompson of Albany, and E. C. Judd of Salem will act as offi cials.

The Multnomah men realize that this will be the hardest contest of tha year, and accordingly have settled down to the hardest kind of work in preparation for the game. On that day, of Thanks giving and turkeys, - Multnomah will put its strongest eleven, on the grid. Each place on the team will be filled only by competition. Of course there are fixtures on the team which could not be improved upon, and they will remain in tact The backfield will be changed, somewhat, the exact change "not being determined at thia time. However, it is quits certain -that Corbett will kplay one of the halves and Cook. will officiate at full, . At left half McMillan will prob ably play,, unless soma later change may be made.

Another slashing was predicted for Fit. The Cornishman bravely submit ted to a lashing that would have felled 10 ordinary pugilists, and. with a grim smile on his face, sent forth that' fa mous solar plexus blow In the 14th round of that memorable St. Patrick's day at Carson City that brought him fame and fortune. Even when he lost he was picked to do surprising thlnga. He was picked to beat Jeffries, the giant bollermakcr, with ease. A belief had developed In his invlnclbil Ity. Fits entered the ring a pronounced favorite and again astounded the public by getting licked by the giant novice of pugdom. After this fight the sports said Fits was all In. The penchant for accom plishing things under difficulties again cropped out in the Cornish miner, Not satisfied with the sports' dictum of his "dcadness," he returned to pugil istic life and challenged Ous Ruhlln. The Akron Giant was then at his best. He had Just knocked out Bhar key, a task which Boilermaker Jeffries had failed to accomplish with his rivet ing wallops. Fitisimmons was not well at the time he Issued the challenge to Mad den's protege. He entercM the ring a stck man. During the first round his lack of condition was painful.

Next Friday after noon at 2:30 o'clock the Albany college football team and the Willamette uni versity eleven will meet on the Willam ette field in a contest for supremacy. This promises to be one of tha best games of the season, as it will prob ably be the last Inter-colleglate game to be played on the Salem field this season. The r eliances for victory areT slightly In favor, ol Albany, for tha latter team recently defeated tha Corvallls Agri cultural college team, while the latter was tied by Paclfio university, and P. U. was in turn tied by Willamette, in a scoreless game last Friuay on the Salem Held. This would inuicate an ad vantage for Albany, but W. U. has strengthened considerably since the last game, constant practice with a splendid coach, whose teaching of team work Is bearing good fruit, having made the 'varsity eleven a formidable aggregation. The Salem college boys claim that they will not lose in a game on their own field, for in all the contests held here thus far not a single college has scored against Willamette on the latter's field. On Thanksgiving day W. U. will play on their own field against the Chemawa Indians' first team, and this contest, too, is eagerly awaited by the Salem public, the Indians' team being very popular here, as it Is looked upon as practically belonging to Salem as much so as the Willamette university aggregation.
