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.
Scores of Other Tsars.

Manager .Joe Kelley announces that
next season he will try strictness as a
means of securing better results. -
MULTNOMAH MEN ARE
PREPARING FOR CONTEST
The biggest football game of the
season will be played on Tbanskglving
afternoon on Multnomah field, between
the Multnomah club's strong eleven
and the powerful team which represents
the University of Oregon.
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. There are several Candidates
for the back field, but they1 are not
heavy enough for hard Una bucking, and
the- backing; up the line on defensive.
Thelina will be Brightly r switched

to succeed Mart Pratt, who has returned
to Southern Oregon. Valentine may
also get in the game, either at a guard
position or in the back field. Dolph will
not play in the Thanksgiving game. Ross
at left guard is a fixed star. At the
ends, Blanchard. Dowling. Jahnsott and
Jordan Will try to be placed, but the
practices will settle that. Mr. Murphy
may piay quarter, if business engage

this .material Multnomah should cer
tainly annihilate the proteges of "Loco-
njiotive" Smith. The weather man says
mat i nanKsgivmg arternoon t will be
clear, and no rain will interfere with the,
sport. Tine grid will be In first-class
shape for the gams. Songs for the oc
casion are being rehearsed by Multno

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. He was
slow and Incautious. j
When Fits returned to his come
after the close of the opening essay,
some' one back of him remarked: "He
ia a goner, sure. He's too old."
The remark fired into life all Fitx
slmmons' pride, Between clenched teeth
he said to-his seconds, "I'll show them
I'm not."
Bis Tight With Buhlln,
Thep he went Into RTuhlin. Finding
himself too slow to work his famous

Salem, Nov. 19. 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.
