Watklna of Mult nomah. made this statement after the (am: , ,.' . ; '.. . e' ' "The gamer's ending: was, of course. very tnwatlsfactory. . O. A. C.'e action In leaving the field wag greatly to be regretted. I think we would have scored at least once more had the game con tlnued.' Both leumg were strong on of fense and our defense was excellent 'rl O A. fi n 'Certainly played good ball all the time. I wish to say that Manager Sttmsonrof O. A. C. acted fairly all through, and tn "pits of hla team's action I do not blame , him, and our relations are still friendly. What the result of a A. C.'s action i7Wlll have on the future athletic rela . tlons between them and. Multnomah I ' cannot now say". Dr. Bteckle, coach of Oregon Agricul tural college, said: - .". MI want It understood at the start " that my taking of the team from the Held was not -en account of the 'last play, tl know the Multnomah club. I . bave played against them that la, the 'old guard,' and they are out to win by every means. I have played against them and know their tactics. . Their moat common offense Is holding, but - ; that is not the only one. The game throughout waa marked by holding by Multnomah. It has marked the game thla year and It has marked the games in paat years. ' I cannot aea why the "Multnomah club, which I know is com , posed of many upright and fair men. who want to see the square deal in all .- .sports, .'do not rectify the unfair ploys the team of the club makes in football. .'I know the game the M. A. A. C. was ; working. I aaw 'it almost from ' the start, and after they got a lead they 'meant to keep It, and the best way for them to do It was to delay the game ...and pray. for darkness, The officials, I ' believe, were straight. They may not have been up on all the fine points of ".the game and quick enough to watch ali plays closely enough for unfairness. Tbey were, however, I believe, straight, but the M. A- A. C was trying to bull- dose there all the time. Whenever an official waa about to make a decision the whole M. A. A. C would get around him. instead of allowing the captain to -make the protest. 'Thla was particu larly true when the holding was so. . flagrant that the Officials could scarcely help seeing it committed. . It waa not , the kind of a game I have been used to playing, and It Is --not the kind I .have taught my boys to play, i For i soma time before the final play every . roQV-Ofthe M. A. A, CT wss-te galtt time. will not atand for that kind of work, the holding and the other feat- ureai -I aaw the M. A- A. C waa out ' to win at any coat They had a lead . and meant to keep it. When I realised 'that I thought the beet course waa to leave the field, an,d I did." ' P. D. Overfleld, M. A. A. C'a ooach, a' - Tackle Dolan and End Griffith of O. A. C. Ifwas" S ninatitrultitmetrt te i 'team and a particularly bitter' one to . me. that the Corvallls college eleven left the field before the close of the game. The games played on the club gridiron . this year have been particularly free from any unpleasant features that some times mar the game, and especially among athletic club teams. It has been a personal pride that our . team should play a game of gentlemanly football, hard' and fast and to win every time. .-To that and the management haa tried to aeleot competent and impartial offi cials, and the members of the team have been especially careful of any act that 'would bring discredit to the lub. - "The- only criticism that may be just ly given of the game today wsa in the selection of officials. Not ' that .Mr. Fisher, the umpire, or Mr. Hutchinson, the referee, were not conscientious and honorable in every action on the field, but they were asked to do something of which they- were not, at the time, ; capable. ,A fact of which they made me cognisant before ' the - game while; In the dressing-room. The game has changed radically dur. lng the past . three years,, and no man la a competent official, as a rule, with out considerable actual experience. .That they did not know the rules of the game as soon evident to the players, and nstead of allowing the captains of the two teams- to consider the. decisions, alone with them the entire body of players made their duties anything but pleasant for them. - The very fact that the players did hot have confidence in the work of the offi cials made the letter's duties that much more difficult and unpleasant. - The task ef refer eelnr fell partlcu. i larly heavy upon the shoulders of - Mr. Hutchinson, and while I have nothing but admiration for. him aa a gentleman. did sympathise with him aa an . offi cial. Now, the question naturally follows. why this mistake In officials, Managet Watklna, to my knowledge, suggested all and every name of ofliciafs who bave officiated this year satisfactorily in the vicinity of Portland, and, yen agreed on Dr. Roller of Seattle, who . would come at a considerable expense to the club. To all the proposals of Mr. Wat kins I understand Manager Stlmaon of the Oregon college sent an-absolute re fusal. i -Under the circumstances, the unfor tunate termination of the game must be accounted for by the college team, on whorae the blame unquestionably game of football will be criticised, when the criticism belongs rather to the means, the execution of the game. A few dollars' extra expense for 'com petent, up-to-date, experienced officials will alwaya bring favorable results for every one concerned. . Captain Jordan, M. A. A. C, said: "We won fairly and ahowed that the Corvallls team is not in the same class with Multuomah. I hope Corvallls never plays here again, as they put football in a bad light in Portland." NAuGHTON ON FIGHTERS (Continued from Page Ten.) wag. CrBrlen subsequently explained the Incident, without embarrassment, however. Orlsm Tlalts Doctor. It' appears. that O'Brien, who la still suffering from a sore shin, came- into town to.se hla doctor. Fits came across the bay to attend the perform ance of "The College Widow" at the Columbia theatre, and the rival fighters met In the grub emporium. O'Brien, who was seated when Fltsslmmons en tered, beckoned the Cornlshman to his table, and there they sat and drank together and tried to refrain from talk ing shop,- By the time Fits waa ready to go to the theatre several Inquisitive persons had gathered around. "Nothing" to it but a casual meeting and a little mutual slcing up." said O'Brien, when Fits had departed. "What were the results of your cogita UonsT" Jack waa asked. ; ' "The more-1 see of him the more con fident I .am that I can defeat htm." When asked for his aide of it. Fits said: .
