Boston. Mam. Not. 7. Harvard wiped
out the shame of last year by defeat
' Ing.the Carl t si Indiana and proved ner
aelf the leading candidate for champion,
ahlp honors by chasing the Redskins
off the stadium this afternoon with a
core of 17 to 0.
' . The result was one of the surprises
of football history, for, in View of past
performances, tho Cambridge- team start
ed the came with the odda 2 to 1
Unable to make use of their vaunted
drop Hick, the Indians, were inferior
: at the other stages of the game and
only once put Harvard's goal in danger.
The Indiana' only attempt at a field
goal was blocked. Balentl's wonderful
toe found plenty of employment In
punts and short kicks, but he was given
no chance to duplicate his past success
in "dropping; the ball between the goal
posts. Harvard had Rood use for the
forward pass, but when she catrte within
. striking distance of her goal line she
relied on straight football. Her scores
" were due '- to three touchdowns, from
which she kicked two goals. One of
these was the result of a brilliant 22
vari lun hr Corbett on a ' trick play.
'but the others followed a aeries of
plunging line bucks.
Fop the first time this year, some
say, Harvard had her "dander" up from
the first ktckoff. The fierceness of the
play was emphasised by the number of
' penalties for offside work, holding, and
slugging.' Early in the game Kermard,
the crimson fullback, was driven weep
ing from the field for punching Waus-
kea, the Copper Head Indian., and hia
team suffered a penalty of SO yards.
- Several members of the Harvard team
' received warnings and penalties for ua-J
just iiicar iims. ,
More than 10,000 persons saw the
game and any kind of a seat aold in
rpesulators' hands, at an advanca of
100 to (00 per cent.
Tonight Cambridge and ' Boston are
blase over Harvard's victory.

too, was .tho result of the development
of the modern game.

weather conditions and nearly 15,000
people watched the struggle.
Princeton, while she plaryed the best

PRINCIPALS IN THURSDAY'S BIG WRESTLING MATCH FOR COAST CHAMPIONSHIP!

J. O'Connell, the Challenger. 'rl - i ' ' V
When these two Votaries of the grap
pling art, Strangled Smith, the present
Pacifio coast middle-weight champion,
and Eddie O'Connell, the new instructor
of .the Multnomah club, who holds a
clear title to the welter-weight cham
pionship of the United States, come to
gether in Merrill's hall, next Thursday
night, Portland followers of the game
will see the greatest wrestling match
pulled off In Portland in years.
Ever since the two grapplers were
matched two weeks ago the hundreds of
fans In Portland and near vicinity have
been Itching to see them get together,
They are so evenly matched from all ap
pearances that the mlx-uo will undoubt
edly go the full five falls before a win
ner is returned.
Smith 2a Popular.
Smith is Immensely popular among
the labor union peqpie, and they will
back him to a men. They have followed
nis fortunes for seven years, and those
wno packed tneir judgment with coin
of the realm have won much more than
they have lost. In fact. Smith has won
nine-tenths of his matches since he has
been wrestling here, his defeats being
always to men who outweighed him
from 40 to 76 pounds. With hia record
fte will no douot os forced into a favor
ite over the clever fellow who Is teach
ing the young of tha Multnomah-dub
how to shoot.
Smith waa never In better condition
than right now. Ha quit off stevedor
ing ver ten days ago and lias been
worKinr out hard 'ever since. Ha has
been taking aVially -run of five miles
for the promotion of his wind apparatus,
and afterwards has worked out with the
medicine . ball. In the forenoon and
afternoon he has worked out with his
trainers, Henry Newman, Frank Ely and
Bill Sen road er. He has taken on all
three of them separately every after
noon, downing one right after the other
for nearly two hours. He will keep this'
up till Tuesday, when he will begin to
taper off. Smith Is a glutton for work,
and he Is making the most of his train
ing. Btraagter Is Confidant.
And, above all. he la enthusiastic and
confident. He is not forming a falsa
opinion of the prowess of his sterling
young opponent, but knows him to be
a wonderfully clever wrestler. Smith
said yesterday that he would be ex
tromery cautious against O'Connell In
the first-fall, and would try his man
out. Then he will go after him at full
speed, tie counts upon his greater
strength to tire the Instructor out In
tue five falls.
Then, again, if Smith gets the strangle
hold, for which he Is famous, on O'Con
nell, his great strength will stand him
in hand to bear down the easterner.
Smith has been planning his line of at
tack ever since he saw O'Connell in
action against Dick Hart last month-.
He believes he has a ahade on O'Con
nell. and Isn't afraid to let his backers
know It.
Eddie Has Oas Advantage.
On the other hand, O'Connell has this
advantage of Smith: He came from the
fount-head of the wrestling game New i
York. If there is anything In the art
that he la not familiar with, It Is some
thing yet to be sprung, rie has trained
with Jenkins, Beel and Champion Gotch.
He has thrown some nf the greatest
men In the country in the light, welter
and middle-weight classes. He so ter
rorized George Bothner. tho present
lightweight champion, that Bothner al-l
J lowed O Connell to pull down The forfeit
money, and . crawfished out or the
match. He Is the undisputed welter-
weignt cnampion. an nae a nail inter
est in the present middle-weight title,
If that isn't enough to scare out a' man.
then there is nothing that is. But It
Ocean scare Smith.
O'Connell is fast, dangerously fast.
When he finally decided to take the of
fensive in hia match against Dick Hart
he put, the Cbicagoan down In five min
utes for the two last falls. He is a
trifle faster than Smith but It Is ex
tremely doubtful If he Is any mora
clever than the local longshoreman. '
linger Than Xiooal Man.
His length, he has a foot advantage
on Smith, will give him a great ad
vantage, it would seem. But on account
of the strangle hold he will not have
ward Dass to Denote, and Dennis scored.
McKay failed to kick a gpn-i. Brides
