By Sportsman.
There has never been a time In the
' history of intercolllage football when
. -so many high class kickers havs been
representing so many different schools

the old (am was being played and al
nost aU the attack was Into the line
- end only an occasional end run varied
the monotony, little emphasis was
plaeed upon kicking except as soma
. star booter of the ball was developed
In some section of the country.
When Poe was doing wonders with
his boot for the honor of Princeton,
Ms name was familiar to every follower
of football in the country. He stood
f 'alone during - the period In which he

O'Day of Wisconsin, the sensational
frunter and drop kicker was in the
ime light and his wonderful kicking
i,was the marvel of all football followers.
In recent years ML Pleasant the. Indian,
has pulled many games out of the fire

Cckersall, Chicago's brilliant , quarter
back, won game after game against
stronger teams because of his deadly
aeeuracy in jilarlng the ball between
the goal posts with a drop kick. Last
year Capron of Minnesota, was the most
talked of drop kicker In the United
Slates. Throughout a long and arduous
season, the Minnesota institution scored
but two touchdowns and-yet lost but
one game. All of her other points
were scored by drop kicks made by
Capron.
- ----- Kicking Is Stimulated,
'The new game of football has stim-
ulated an Interest in kicking. Coaches
have realised that games in many cases
jhav to be won by the ability of some
, men to put the ball over the goal.
- This year, there are so many high class
. kickers that no. single one of them
(i slands out alone, wnat was a rew i
. years ago a marvelous accomplishment,
has In the past year become an or
i; dinary one. -Of aU great college teams,
, the Carlisle Indians stand out conspic
uously because of its many classy
kickers. When ML pleasant was lost
- on account of , the recently imposed
. eligibility rules at the Indian school.
it was believed that the Indians wouldJ
be seriously handicapped without the
services of this splendid kicker.
But to and behold, Glen Warner had
a man who was tready -tf-atep into
Mt. Pleasant' boots and kick the ball
Just as well as any kicker had ever
done in the history of Carlisle's prowess.
. ; Thorp, In the earliest games of the year,
scored regularly by kicks from place
ment." Two weeks ago,, Thorp was se-
verely Injured and had 'to be taken
out of the game, and the critics felt
certain that Carlisle's chances of win
tilng , games had again gone glimmer
ing. But lo and behold, again the kick
ing department-of Carlisle ' was not
weakened a bit and' another Indian who
had never before been headlined as a

tt is his opinion that this game will go
down in football history as the most
sensational and spectacular game ever
played in the northwest While )t was
not an exhibition of high-class football.
It was so replete with sensational feat
ures that the spectators got much more
than their money's - worth before the
final whistle was blown. A game in
which the lead alternated so many times
and kept the spectators on their toes
from, start to finish was well worth go
ing hundreds of miles to sea Idaho
scored first on a fluke, score to 0 In
favor of Idaho; Oregon made a place
kick, score S to 4 in favor of Idaho;
Oregon made another place kick, soore
S to in favor of Oregon; Idaho mads
a place kick, score 10 to 8 In favor of
Idaho; Oregon made another place kick,
score 12 to 10 in favor of. Oregon: Ore
gon made a touchdown, but failed on the
f oal, score 17 to 10 in-favor of Oregon;
daho made a touchdown and g-ot the
goal, score IT to 1 In favor of Ore
aon. ,
After this series of alternating leads
and with 10 minutes more to play, Ore
gon's star player was ruled out of the
game and as all substitutes had been
used, were compelled to finish the con
test with 10 men opposed to Idaho's 11.
In spite of this serious handicap, they
showed a fighting spirit that doubtless
will be recited in song and story at Eu
gene for many years to coma ' Instead
or quitting under these clroumst&nces,
they only played the fiercer and harder,
and really played better ball than at
any other time in the game and made
10 more points, four on a place kick and
six on a touchdown, and won the game,
27 to 21.
Idaho had the opportunity of doing
a very magnanimous thing when Main
of Oregon was ruled out Had they per
mitted Coach Forbes to put in one .of
the substitutes who had already played
part of the game and had been removed,
and finished the game on equal terms,
their sportsmanship would have been
an advertisement for the Idaho manage
ment that would have been worth, much
more than even the winning of the game
would have been, under the conditions.
The sympathies bf the unprejudioed
spectators were with Oregon, when it
was seen that the Eugene team was
compelled to finish the game with but
10 men. Four place kicks made by
Moullen, one from the 68-yard line;
four touchdowns out of five made by
flukes, and a great fighting spirit in
playing the game with 10 men, are the
three features that will establish the
Idaho-Oregon game as one of the most
interesting contests ever fought out in
tne nonnweei.
Who Will Wis Championship
The football championship is still a
mooted question. Who will win the
coveted honor Is Just as doubtful a
proposition now as at any time In the
year. Idaho has been eliminated by
Oregon and Whitman, and Whitman
was set back a game in the running
wnen wasningron defeated them at (Se
attle, to 0. O. A. C, Pullman, Oregon
and Washington are still In the run
ning and have not as yet had their goal
lines crossed. Pullman looks like a
very dangerous factor. Last week they
defeated the Bremerton navy yards
team by a larger score than was rolled
up by Idaho. They have a strong and
experienced bunch of players and doubt
less will weigh up as heavy as any team
In the conference. There is a possi
bility that the championship will be
tied up in a comparative score squab
ble.
Washington is dangerous and Is a
team that will doubtless grow in power
and strength as the Season advances.
The Washington-Oregon game next Sat
urday at isugene. no doubt will De one
of the hardest fought contests of the
year, as both teams are about equal in
weight and, in the writers judgment
should be about equal in ability. O. A.
C. has her first hard contest next Wed
nesday, when Whitman will bs playing
on the Corvallls field. This will be a
hard contest for the Beavers, ss Whit
man has a lineup that is as heavy as
that of the O. ..A. C. boys and in the
back field they have a wonderful ground
gainer in Borleske.
In the game against Wanhlgton. time
and again they ripped through the
heavy line of the Puget sound institu
tion and made more gains on straight
football than their opponents. Blanch
ard has had the nroblem of develoDlnc
a team for a very-difficult schedule, but
the Missionaries will be brought to
Corvallls in first-class shape and there
is an even c nance that they go away
with the scalps of ths Beavers.
Facifio University Wins Oat.
Archie Hahn's Pacific university boys
st Forest Grove surprised the support
ers of his team and the followers of the
same in Oregon bv winning the minor
college championship of this section by

SEATTLE MOTORISTS ;
CLIMB ML RAINIER
Louis Hemrich and Rudolph Samet of
Seattle, Wash., accomplished something
exceptional la the history of automobll
ing in the northwest last week, when In
their Franklin 28-horsepower motor car
h pllmhed seven miles farther lis
the sIods Of Mount Rainier than had
ever been attempted before, readied an
altitude of 6,000 feet, and returned to
Seattle again, ail wunin in roe uays.
Their were accompanied bv their wives.
and as the ascent required more . than
usual daring, tne women were i rig op
ened.
"Several times I was so unnerved,"
said Mrs. Samet, "that I turned with a
shudder away from the edge of .the
precipice, and looked In the other direc
tion. If one should offer me 15,000 to
make the. trln i train. I would reruse.
The scenery, though, was marvelous.
"Both mv husband. I and Mr. and
Mra Hemrich have traveled all ever
Europe and explored the Alps and the
Black Forest, but we agreed that there
is nothlna In the old country that sd-
& roaches the grandeur we viewed in the
asoades. I know positively, too, that
there is no road in the AIds on which
as high an ascent may be made in an
automoDiie as we accomplished last
week"
SAVANNAH RACE TO
ECLIPSE VANDERBILT
Now that the Vanderbllt race is over,
it will not be disloyal to the American
Automobile association to say that the
Savannah race will so far eclipse the
event on Long Island that America's
former premier event will have been
forgotten when the race in the Sunny
Southland has been run.
The dmries for the vanaertmt race
were nmde and- the event was note
worthy inasmuch as records were brok
en in spite of the fact that among the
entrants there could be found Bona la
cars of the very latest vintage.
The race In Savannah will be a con
test of later models and of greater ears.
and Germany, Italy, France and Amer
ica will supply their best for this event
Twenty-two cars at least will fight for
the grand prise and for the fortune
Which will o to the winning drivers.
The demand for accommodations on
the special boats and the special trains
to Savannah has been so enormous that
the railroads are forced to admit that
no previous event ever attracted as
muen southward travel, not even the
Ormond meets ef tfi past
SORREL HOUSES ARE
SAFEST FOR AUT0IST
Sales Manager Charles B. 8hanka of
the F. . B. Stearns company of -.Cleveland,
Ohio, says: . "An automoblllat
should pay attention to the color - of
horses he meets The .reason for this
is thst a white horse Invariably means
danger, and. will In nine out of ten
cases ditch ths occupants of ths vehicle
he is pulling by either backing or going
sideways.
"I have made a study of the horses I
have met while driving an auto, and
find that the only ones who are abso
lutely safe are the sorrels. Tou can
go past i them at whatever speed you
want to and be perfectly safe. Next
to the sorrels the blacks and bays are
the best natured. Of the latter two -the
bays are the better. It seems strange
that the color of a horse should havs
anything to do with his disposition,
nevertheless it has been proved time
and again that white horses are the
most vicious, and care shtHild be taken
in passing them."
