When tfre last ysar'a aulta were unpacked and a- pair or trousers were: nanaea mm, Dick replied: "Heaven's delight; but a man will need a motor to propel such trousers." . In th course of tlm Dick got accustomed to the heavy football trousers and gave promise of becoming a great end rush. One evening after a 90 minutes practice was held. In which Dick worked every second, be rushed up to the gymnasium and i presented himself as a candidate for the wrestling tryouts for ths Inter-club meet with Seattle.

And so It goes all along th line with sports at Multnomah.: - Football sacri fices men every V year and very little does the outside world know about th many hardships that the club's pigskin warriors' undergo daring a season. Many an evening's . pleasur 1 passed by In order that practice may be held. With the majority of a. holiday crowd th Impression prevails that th club team appears In new suits, and that out side of dressing for this particular gam and marching out In the .field nothing Is Is Incumbent upon tha players. No - mtik. unless ha has gone through season of club football and gone through It conscientiously can . ever hop to fully appreciate , the hard and disagreeable labors that th football men perform. In bowling, handbnll. pool, billiards. basketball, fencing, tennis, track and field, baseball and other sports, th Multnomah club foaters the best In ath letic. .... . , Among Other Organisation. While the Multnomah club embraces almost every form of aport. there are other organsattons In Portland that make a specialty of particular lines. There Is the Portland Rowing club, with Its proud past and Its bright future; the -Oregon -Tacht club with Its big membership' and interesting races each year; the Portland Hunt club with Its daring riders, memorable paper chases and annual field -day events; the Wa verly Golf club with Its beautiful links and Its lsrre membership of golf devo tee; the Multnomah Rod and dun club with Ita many crack shots; fh River sid Driving association with Us en thusiastlo drivers- and crack roadsters; th Portland Kennel club with Its fa mous fanciers and renowned champions; th Irvlngton Tennis club with Its six beautiful courts and homelike club house, and many other societies for th protection and advancement of sports.
