BEAVERS FAVOR
PORTLAND CUE
Contest' in Metropolis Awak
.v ens Interest in the Two
Biggest Colleges.
By Sportsman. ,
i Another football season has come and
gone, and from now on ther will be
lime to excite tr.a interest ol tne grio
Iron enthusiasts, except to somberly
or delightedly dwell in retrospect, as
the cane may be, upon the games that
rave Dean piayea auring the past sea-
on. There is one topic that doubtless
will excite considerable interest until
definitely settled, and that refers to the
playing next year s v. A. c-u. or u.
fame.
. The O. A. C people, both students' and
athletic authorities. In spite of the de
feat scored against them by -Eugene
. (this year, are Keenly In favor of meet
Ins; their rivals on the Multnomah field
again next year. They are anxious to
demonstrate to their Portland admirers
and friends that they have the ability
and the courage to battle to victory
under the same conditions that charac
terised this year's game. - '
- Eugene, however, seems disposed to
. , demand that the annual hlstorio contest
, be made a campus game, and consider-,
.able discussion has been aroused per
-tain ins to the merits of their claim.
- TlfttihtlAaa A fitmnna ffnm wrAlll.4 Ha
looked upon with favor if the condi
tions under which tt might be played
were as ideal, as the demands tor such
a large contest require. Neither insti
tution has facilities for the accommoda
tion of vast audiences such as desire
witnessing a contest of this nature.
The Eugene merchants are anxious to
have the - game played on the home
field, as they feel that it brings con
siderable money to the town, and they
regret exceedingly ' that these dollars
that might fall into their pockets
should go to the state's metropolis.
- There is one point that should be
Auite seriously considered In the ar
ranging of the game, and that Is the
.value of such a contest under the facil
ities offered in Portland on the Mult
nomah grounds ta x awakening the In
terest of friends of the school and to
maintain the interest of the alumni. It
Is quite often impossible for even a
loyal alumnus to tear himself away
from his business interests to take the
trip to -either. Eugene or Corvallls.
While loyal to his team and anxious to
see it In competition, he has not that
opportunity unless the game is brought
to him, and as Portland is the largest
city in the state, and filled with sup-
' porters of both institutions, such a con-
- test 4a really worth- while..
It is hoped that both managements
. will consider the wishes of their alumni
and friends and bring this old time his
toric contest to Portland another y-ear.
Brodie, of Portland. Xakes Oood.
- If the selections of the all-Northwest
football teams made by various critics
had been delayed until after the Mult-
. nomab-O. A. C. game In Portland last
Saturday, doubtless their selection for
one of theenda would differ from those
made prior to this contest Each critic
has deplored the fact that, while there
was a wealth of other material in the
line and in the backfield. it was diffi
cult to find any ends of caliber worthy
of a position on the all-Northwest team.
In the game against the Multnomah
club Brodie, left end for O. A. C, dem
onstrated that he was one of the class
iest ends to appear on any football
field this season. It was his reception
of the forward pass and long run that
secured the first t6ucbdown for O. A.
C On defense, his work was of high
class, breaking through and spilling
plays, tackling opponents before they
had gotten under way, and demonstrat
ing rare ability as an end.
- Brodie is a Portland boy, playing his
first year on the O. A. C football team,
and is a quiet, gentlemanly fellow who
. went through four years of college un
noticed, and was only discovered this
year as a senior after participating in
the alumni game.
His work against Washington and the
Multnomah club rank him as one of the
, best ends produced in the Northwest
this year. Had he been better known
and of more experience, doubtless his
name would have been found In more
: than one list of all-Northwest selec
tions. Multnomah aad 0. A. O, Xsnrw Kela
tioas. There is a feeling of satisfaction on
the part of most loyal sportsmen in the
fact that the Multnomah club and O.
A. C. have renewed athletic relations.
After several years of suspension, the
. contest ia which the two teams partici
pated last week resulted so pleas
antly that past differences have been
forgotten, and both organizations have
a respect and kindly feeling toward
each other. This is as it should be.
Oregon's' largest educational institution
and the greatest athletic club in the
, Northwest should not be on any other
than a friendly basis. Both institutions
" are doing -big things for the advance
ment of athletics in the Northwest, and
re maintaining sports and games on a
clean amateur basis. Their ideals are
in harmony, and their attitude toward
. each other promises to be in the future
that of helpful associates.
Walker and Pilkington, both of the
' Multnomah dub, star performers on
the gridiron, are O. A. C. boys, and
Smltbson, the world's greatest hurdler,
formerly of O. A. C has won many
honors for the M. A. A. C. These men,
Inval to both club and alma mater, have
worked assiduously for the return to
krmnnlo relations between tne two in
stitutlona Everything is bright for a
splendid athletic future for both college
and oiuo.

next season. The deal was eoncluded
this afternoon when Owner M. 8. Rob

In exchange for Bresnahan. the Giants

On the face of it. It would appear that
St Louis paid dearly for its whistle. As
a catcher Roger Bresnahan has few
equals. But from a St. Louts standpoint
he is but an experiment. He has never
been .tried as a manager. The scandal
aired by the national commission yes
terday occupied the attention of a few
magnates who waited over from the
meetings today.
, There la great speculation as to who
Is concerned In the charges of bribery.
The National league club presidents re

danger of a leak until the committee
nan fully investigated the matter.
District Attorney Jerome intimated to
day that he was ready to present the
grand Jury whenever the committee
called on him with the evidence. Tet
the district attorney has not been of
ficially notified by the baseball mag

It Is generally felt In baseball circles
that the National league made a mistake
In airing the cane before It had proceed

CATHOLIC CLUB HAS
TV0 GAMES UG
The football season Is fast coming- to
an end, locally but three games remaining-
to be slaved on Multnomah field.
December 19 the "Winged M" huskies
will engage the Catholic Toung Men's
club of Alblna: December it the clever
Chemawa Indians will Invade Portland
and oppose their old time rivals, the
Catholio club; New Year's day Multno
mah will end the season fighting the
Olympic club of San Francisco.
Multnomah is Jubilant over the pros
pects of a hard battle with the Catholics
as the east side clubmen have developed
a speedy and recognized eleven under the
careful coaching of Ray Kennedy, who
formerly whipped Bunker Hill Into'
shape. Coach Kennedy claims his eleven
will make up the deficiency of weight
by speed and cleverness. Tne new club
eleven averages 164 pounds to the man
but Is composed of wiry young fellows.
A good accounting Is expected of Cap
tain jacK uaicn, Harry uianein. Lew
Klumpo. King Zander. Dueber and Jerry
Qulnlan. Crowley will attend to the
punting department.
The Chemawa Indian eleven has the
proper idea of sportsmanship when their
manager aecmea to ravor tne catholic
young men with a return game, almost
immediately after the aborigines defeat
ed the club youngsters by a small mar
gin, 'i nis game is anticipated eagerly
bv enthusiasts as several veara have
elapsed since Portland has had the pleas
ure or witnessing a genuine Indian col
lege team In action. The Chemawa ag
gregation has developed Into a playing
machine under the training of Coach
Fleming, formerly with Nebraska uni
versity. The redskins are partial to trick
formation and are proficient In the use
of the forward pass, quarterback kick
and delayed pass, and are capable of

Dwyer will arrive in Portland next

O'Connell in everything but height and

of them seems to concede the man
from Pueblo a fighting chance, and
they -are all debating as to the pos
sible length of the coming mill.
- In a way Lanaford is un aaatnst a
tough proposition. Being talked of
tne puguisuo worm at . tne present
time, the big smoke will be forced to
show a phenomenal burst of speed in
order to live up to the reputation that
has long preceded his arrival in this
city. If he falls down, there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth, as
there was after the last Ketchel-Papke
mill, and Sam is very likely to be run
out of tswn in this event
As a worker In the gymnasium, the
Boston smoke has mora than rnado
good, but this will . not bring home a
victory. Papke was also a wonder in
training before big crowds. He could
do most anything, and in a very artlstio
way, too: but when It came to show
ing his- endurance powers in the ring
against Ketchel, the Illinois thunder
bolt faded away and made one of the
most sensational ring bloomers that
has ever been recorded here.
LAnaford may be a great fighter, but
In the true sense of the word his ex-
ferlence in this line has been very
Imlted. Big Sam did most of his work
in and around Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, where ail the bouts are
limited, and where the boxing and not
the fighting end of the game counted
most True, he stood off the towering
Jack Johnson In a 16 round mill, but
those who saw this mlxup declare that
it was rather a tame one and that both
men were content to stand off and
spar most of the time, neither being in
danger of taking the count of ten.
There are several thousand dollars
In the local poolrooms to be wagered
on Langford, but thus far nobody seems
anxious to take the f lynn end of it
Now the chances are that all the bet
ting will be confined strictly to the
rounds, with the Boston black a favor
ite to put the Uruaher on Flynn In from
10 to 12 rounds. He must win in this
time in order to uphold that wonder
ful reputation.
Ther will be great scrambling and
hurling of challenges by all the for

weights when Tommy Burns arrives

here hinges, and If the wily Tommy
plays his cards ss cleverly as he has
played them in the past, he figures to
get a lot of money.
Since Bums notified the world that
he would come to the land of the stars
and strlnes for the Durnoae of taking
on Ketchel, everybody has aat up and
taken notice, mis statement, coming
as It did directly on top of the one in
which Burns declared himself out of
the game forever after the Johnson
fight, only convinced the fans that
Burns Is talking in order to set lust as

possible. . .
It ia the firm belief of the wise fol
lowers of events pugilistic that Burns
has an ace in the hole ror tne jonn

chance for him to lose, and that the
worst be can possibly get will be a
draw. - This theory Is well founded
when the conditions of ' the coming

000. The big black never dreamed of
hooking such a bank roll before. In
fact the most money ha ever gath
ered at one time was about 22.000. and
most of this went to Zeke Abrams. the
crafty local gambler who used to man
age Johnson before Bam Fltapatrlck
took hold of him something like a year
and a half ego.
But the American fighters do not
care about that Australian mlxup.
They are all patiently awaiting the ar
rival of Burns. When Tommy steps
off the gangplank some time early in
February such ring dignitaries as
Ketchel. Langford. Kaufman, Papke
and a host of others will be there to
shake his mitt and then shake their
challenges In his face. Surely, the
layout Is a great one for Burns. It
will furnish many a toplo for ring
storlea the world over, and will lay
the foundation for the greatest boost
ing that a ring event of modern times
ever received.
While the fighters will busy them
selves trying to land Burns, the rival
firomoters will also show a lot of speed

There will be great wrangling and

Let us hope that the fighting game will

While the fight promoters continue
to fight side battles among themselves,
the managers are getting busy and do

of these to suffer Is Tom Jones who
brought Papks out-. While Tom was
off his guard, Sam Berger beat him to
the play and stole Papke away. Now

Britt would do much to make Ketchel
popular, a trait -that he has lacked. In

The baseball situation seems to b

they will be forced to treat with the
