Pu j Up Great Game Against Weakened Clubmen! V ; After putting up a gamt .fight against the heavier Multnomah .team, the loot Mil team from the , Catholio Young Mea' club finally gar la and Multno mah, through fine work on ma part of Stott and Walker, scored a touchdown la the last two minute of play. .,' Prs vloue to this time" the tads' from acro the river held their own-In. every way and had kept the ball around the -center or tne neia most-or tne time,' - - ; Walker, Pilkington and Stott ware the only Muitnooiau piayera wno played -up to their uaual form, -and .it u the sterling work of these three players that finally wdn the gam for Multno mah. Jack Eaten, though somewhat rough near the close of tne same, was xne atar player oi i the - cathslia -tea and more than once saved the game by good defensive work. This' player came tviihln an ace of getting away for a touchdown, too, when fa the first half be picked up a blocked punt and ran to yards before Dow Walker finally over- ftauiea mm ana Drought mm aown.r 1 Katch and Hall - were -both good ground gainers for the Catholio club. and good generalship on tha part of i rowier in sending tnm tnrougn the left side of the line gained many yards for the ' youngsters. Hlaker - was not used to playing in the" line and both he and McCluie, who played next-to him, proved vulnerable to the Catholio at tack. Crowley, while, be was a trifle erratio in his punting,, was able through some long spirals to keep the Catholic line reasonably safe from being scored upon. Stott tried throe place kicks rarly In tha first half, but none of -them was successful. 1 The Catholio lads played fine ball and Coach Kennedy Is to be congratulated on the Bhowing they made, -jreeua play was the feature of their work from the lime ma game opened till the last. Zander and Patty were very fast In get ting ddwn on punts, and their effective work in stopping Stott, who has usually vbvu a terror lo opposing teams la run ning In punts, helped out a great deal. f Took Hard Work. It took a lot of hard playing to earn the touchdown for the winged "M" players, and on the showing made the score Just about indicates the difference petween me two learns as Uloy- lined ud ... .....I..-. y- 1 i r-, . . . . ;u;iiui;. uiwuu, iuuw una Alexan der -were greatly missed by the club- in a A - - . - . - ........ X . Throughout the first half Multnomah had the ball usually Inside of the 60 yard line, but was never able to get It vast the 80 yard line. Pilkington and AValker ware usually good for from two to six vards, but while yardage was made at times, still it was not with enough frequency to bring about . a score. Three times Stott tried for a place kick.' but each of - them carried wide and the chance was gone. Crow ley would then put out to the center of the field and the slow marcn toward the goal would again commence. Near the end of the second half Mult nomah managed to work tha ball well down Into the Catholics', territory, but Katch dumped up a play around his end and the ball went to the Catholica on their own 18 yard line. Crowley dropped back for a kick and sent the pigskin high In the air, but only to the 36 yard line. Stott caught the sphere and. aided by splendid interfer ence on the part of Krtuason and Pilk ington. carried the bail to the 15 yard line. Walker was then called upon and circling right end made the only touch down of the. game. - Knudsoa failed to kick the goal and the score stood f t 0. There were but two minutes left to play, and but three or four plays cams after that be fore the whistle blew. The lineup,, was aa follows: -hm0,Sah V- C. T. M. C. iii'-llr .-..REt..........

Schildmlller, playfna- with Dartmouth this vear and selected for end on the All American, doubtless owes much of his success to the fact that he has been a devoted bas ketball player for years. j i Marcus Hurley, who was a power be- j hind Columbia's line when thev wore playing football - was selected for four successive veara an a member nf tho All Eastern basketball team. capron of Minnesota, whose dropkick ina durlns? the season nf 1907 vm nn- PVI'1 f1 n1avi4 htm ff ntrm hmmlrmt- boll team. .

Page and Schommer, Chicago's clever ends, had the distinction of being chosen for the All Western in both basketball and football These are only a few of the many that the writer could name who have plaved better football because of their basketball ability and whose devotion to the court gams has added wonderfully to their skill on the grid Iron. - ' ' .,,-, ;.. .v, . Basketball makes 'a man alert, quick juogmenv ciever -in- nanaung an in flated ball, accurate in passing and catching and these are factors that are all essential to success in the modern aeveiopment or intercolleerlate football.

Wrestling Also flood for ToothaU Itsn. Another snort that la wonrteVfnll v vftiuaoie as an auxiliary in tne aeveiop ment of football players is the wrest ling game. There la no single exercise that Is so completely valuable In build" Ing up unused muscles, making stronger the muscles that are. ordlnsrilv In uu and developing all round bodily strength and physical skill.. In wrestling a man uses every muscle In his body. The legs, arms and back muscles are strengthened and a man's endurance Is increased. His Inn- canacitv larged. - His joints and bones become accustomed to strains thst the unpre pared man would find difficult In with standing. This deve'opment is valuable for the man who aspires to success on the gridiron.- He learns the use of his hands, and the skilled tricks of a wrest ler become Immensely valuable to the ployer who looks for success. Football men are advised to take up these two sports, basketball and wrest ling. First, to familiarise himself with the handling of an Inflated ball and de veloping accuracy In passing and re ceiving. And second, to give him the muscular strength and endurance to withstand the long strenuous siege of football season. . - ... ' Boado, XAnglMMvt and Shrubs.

Instead of the present dull game with flashes of skill and genius, every p'ay should abound In passes and good rushing. On the offense the rush ers would not be afraid - to execute passes,' long; and short, and the . rule would be. to attempt a pass before being tackled.
