The Inter national grand prise race to be run here tomorrow has attracted to Savannah "' thousands of automobile enthusiasts : from every part of America. The num ber of visitors Is far in excess of the early expectations. The small car race today Is a sort of an appetiser for the great contest to be-decided tomorrow. . There are IT contestants in the small ..car event, representing the. leading manufacturers of .America and Europe. But it is In the grand prise race tomor row that publlo interest is centered. It is expected to be a struggle that for speed and dating has never been equaled In this or any other country. The cir cuit of J6.75 miles .pa the outskirts of this city includes In part 'the excellent course used last spring in the first Savannah rac which was won by Strang with an Iaottai .Th old circuit haa been lengthened an improved, and it is be lieved to the fastest -courss ever nftuTnA toe a. net. 1 There are no rail road crossings and the sharp turns have been ' oanaea surneientiy - so m cr ' can take thermal top speed. There will be 15 laps of the course for the race, and at the start and finish a grandstand seating 16,000 persons has been erected.

Th first ear In the blr race will be sent off at t o'clock tomorrow morning and the other machines will follow at one minute intervals. ' Of the drivers who will pilot Ameri can machines Willie HauDt who will handle the Chadwic ear, is pernaps tne best known. He has taken part in many big races and piloted one of the cars in the recent Vanderbilt cup contest. Micfienor, the tester pilot, drove In the previous ' Savannah race and In the Brlarcllff trophy contest, and he has been prominent In 8-hour contests In the vicinity of New York. ZengI end Harding are less widely known that the others, ut they are counted as worthy rivals of the foreigners. . The foreigners present a formidable . array of expert race drivers and In each team are, to be found winners of Iro- . nnrtunt Vnnluti. Perhans the most conspicuous team is that from Italy, for It contains paszaro, winacr ui mi year's grand prlx., German emperor's cup and Florio races,, and bolder of the record for the fastest average time ever made in , at- road race. - Warner, also or the Fiat team,, won the 0 Vanderbilt cup race with a Darracg, and De Palma, the third Fiat driver, has won notable victories In races on this side of the - water. Cagno of the Itala team was third In the Florio cup race, averaging 66.4 miles an hour and Fournier. his team mate, also competed In the Florio cup race but was aitcnea in me iourm lap. Strang In an zsotta. The French team Includes Lewis Strang, who this year has won the title of leading American driver, by capturing the Savannah, Briarcliff and Ixwell races. Ssis, who will also pilot a Renault in tomorrow's race, won the Grand Prix race in France in 1806. Drury. the- De Dietrich driver, was third in the 190 Vanderbilt cup contest and also drove in the same race the year previous. The Clement team, con sisting of Regal ana Hautvast, is not so well known here as some of the other drivers. On account of the excellent showing made bv the German drivers in the last firand Prix race, the Bens and Mercedes teams are considered very highly by those who are figuring out tomorrow's winner. Hemery will handle a Bfjnse machine and Hanriot will he his team mate. Hemery and Hanriot were sec ond and third in this year s Grand Prix and Erie, the driver of the third Bens car in the race tomorrow, was seventh in the Grand Pri conteat.

IS FRIGID OF PEDALS Another interscholastlc football season is over and the northwest football championship has not been decided. Lin coln high school of 3eattle. however, Is claiming it for the simple reason that she defeated West Side high school ear ly In the season by the score Of 4 to 2. Many columns of Bpace have been used up by the Seattle papers In ref erence to the victory of Lincoln over West Side and they have used a doren different theories in speaking of the game. For the first week after the game was played there was nothing but praiae for the way In" which West Side nlaved and both the Times and P.-I. admitted that West Side although beat en had played much better ball than Lincoln. West 8lde had been practicing but one week when they went to Se attle and during the first half had the ball In Seattle's territory most all the time. In the second half they weakened and Lincoln managed to score a place kick. while West Side succeeded In drawing a safety. Hill Military academy is now the champion of Oregon and rightfully de serves a game with Lincoln before the Seattle boys should lay any claim to the championship, but Instead Lincoln has now made arrangements for a game with Salem high school, a second rate team. By defeating them by a large score Lincoln will undoubtedly- claim, that she nolds the northwest champion ship. Meanwhile where does Portland stand? Lincoln in refusing Hill a date says that the military academy boys are not In their class. How tnat can re rig ured no one here knows. - HH1 enjoys a verv good credit standing among the colleees of the country, but it has only a regular high school standing among the schools of Oregon ana has ror years LINCOLN ... v C Whltlock, Slaker, Alexander, Pllklnston, James, Smlthson, Walker, Tully, To make first down the team with the ball has to carry It 10 yards In four scrimmages or downs. Usually when a team sees that It can't make the 10 yards It tries an onside kick or a forward pass. An onalda kick occurs when you see the quarterback receive the ball" from the center, step back and kick forward. By doing this he places his men onside and they nave the right to catch the ball. A forward pass happens when the man who receives the ball back of the line hurls It forward over the Opponents to one of his own side who has sneaked behind, the enemy's side te eatch it. If It touches the ground before it touches any of the players on either side the pass Is held illegal and the side which made It Is. penalised 15 yards. A fair catch is made when the player who Is receiving a punt or puntotit signals by raising his hand over his '"head. He can not be tackled. A puntout is made when one team puts the ball across the goal line for a touchdown at one corner of the field, the puntout be ing made to give the offense a clear chance to kick goal. been a member of the Interscholastlc league. In passing up the cadets for the Sa lem team the Lincoln school acknowl edges that it fears the Hill eleven. For years the Hill team has been classed with the high schools and has played with them. For that matter the same Is true of Columbia university and Portland academy. Locally there is a feeling that the Seattle team Is drawing too fine a line and that they are taking refuge under a very weak technicality. It is also said that it Is another exemplification of the much touted "Seattle spirit." SOCCER TEAMS WILL LINE UP TOMORROW The same team that has steadily rep resented Multnomah at soccer since the club took up that game last September will be In line at 10:30 tomorrow morn ing, with the men In their customary positions, against the Rangers, who will put on the following strong eleven: Hutchinson, goalkeeper; C. A. Stew art and Nunn, fullbacks; McCaf forty, Coxon and McKay, halfbacks: Kyle and Dean, right wing; Douglas and Quarter man, right wing; Stevenson, center. Some alarm was caused In Multno mah's ranks when It was heard that Ned Stevenson, veteran of hundreds of tough games and a crack player of over 20 years' standing, was to be at center. Stevenson's age has scarcely begun to show in his playing and he is always dangerous with feet or head In front of goal. Both he and C. A. Stewart helped the Columbias- win the first city league championship last year, and both are out tomorrow for the first time this season with the Rangers. In addition the half line of the clubmen's rivals is unusually strong In McCafferty, Mc Kay and Ooxon artd the lithe club for wards will have difficulty threading thetr way down to Hutchinson. Klckoff will be at the league baseball grounds and a large Thanksgiving morning crowd is expected to see what soccer material is developing for the possible Portland United team In one of the northern leagues next year.

Twice In the dozen years that the games have been played, the young collegians have won. New rules nave made marked advan tages for them. Last year and the year before the great plaoe kicking of Cap tain iuoullen turned the tide. Tomor row Oregon supporters expect Moul len's trusty to to turn the trick again. Coach Forbes has had his men tuning up at Seaside ever since the Agricul tural college game of last Saturday. Tomorrow they will be in the best con dition of the year. That very evident "fineness" that was noticeable In the men Saturday has disappeared and they are now of that normality that comes wltn good training. The Oregon squad will arrive from Seaside tonight and win again put up at the Portland. Manager Pratt and Captain Stott held a sutf practice last night, at which the men appeared in fine condition. After the practice the lineup for tomorrow was announced, and the eleven well trained players who will enter the game at th start are confident of their abil ity to trim the students. It is doubtful If a club team has ever been brought to such a high state of ef- riciency ror a inanKSgiving day game. While the club will make old stvle foot fall Its chief reliance, It will not adhere wholly to this method of offense. The forward pass and trick plays have been given a thorough test during the past two months and the club is about as nifty at pulling them off as any team In the northwest. Weather Will 8 Talr. The weather prediction for tomor row is fair with northerly winds. This means much to a Portland football crowd, especially on Thanksgiving day. The Multnomah-Oregon game Is the dis tinct athletic-social event of the season. All Portland society takes In the game and tne socially prominent of tne col lege town are always conspicuous fig ures at the annual scrimmage. This year the handsome grandstand gives plenty of opportunity, fbr a dis play of dress. The boxes strung along the front of th grandstand ror nearly 100 yards will no doubt be filled with fir&v parties. it was finally decided upon yesterday to allow Oliver Uutts, who haa been en gaged as referee, to go - with th Cor vallls eleven to Seattle for the O. A. C. Washington game tomqrrow. The Cor vallis people were particularly anxious to secure Cutts, and Manager Pratt al lowed him to go. Instead of Cutts, Hugh Boyd of Portland has been se lected as referee for th big game. It was again announced this morning that reserve seats tickets would be good for any gate on Chapman or Twentieth streets, but those buying grandstand tickets at the field would have to pur chase them at the Twentieth street en trance of the grandstand. , I MYSTERIOUS ROOM THIEF AT BERKELEY fTTnlted Press Leased Wire.
