PRICE FIVE CENTS PLACE KICK WINS YEAR'S BIG GAME FOR WASHINGTON Seattle Eleven Becomes Six , Time Champion as Smith Boots Goal from Placement on Multnomah Field ' ANNUAL CLASH ENDS IN 10 TO 7 SCORE Parsons of Oregon and Miller of Washington Play Star Football. By K. A. Cronln. Otlmour Dobie's great Washington football team la six times a champion fcecause little Brulth shot the ball squarely between the goal posts from -a 20 yard placement and big Fenton failed on a 40 yard effort, a last des perate effort to te up a 10 to 7 score. Out of the fiercest scrimmaging: seen on Multnomah field in years, there emerged yesterday afternoon two he roic fjjjjires of different mould, who wUIjrtj) down In northwest football tn ft an tho paragons of halfbacks Jolfitny Parsons of Oregon and Hap Miller of Washington, the one a hero for his almost uncanny ability tm filter through the enemy's line, the other for his tremendous, almost Jtiggernautlc driving power. While tho one flashed serosa the white barred field with a 45 yard dash for a touchdown that evoned up the score, tho , other jabbed and hammered Jits way across the goal line and then turned around and Jabbed and hammered his team into position to acorn tho three points that decided the issue, Oregon waa beaten but not disgraced. - Hugo Bezdek's tall, well balanced line cauaed cold beads of perspiration to stick out on Dobie's forehead in the first half. They outplayed and out gamed the Washington forwards. Had tho men backing up that line been able to obstruct two forward passes in the first quarter, the champions mtght have boen beaten. Little Bmith threw Miller and Jacquot and Bhlel against the line time and again in the first half and they could not pierce It. But. as true as tho nroverb that drlxiLiiuit water TrUAt-a away stone the lunges of the big backs wore down the Oregon line. In, th second half the pounding- began to tell and it was only by herculean effort that the blue jcrseyed lads were able to pull together and plug the ad vance of Miller and his cohorts. Once the Eugene students were saved from a touchdown at the north goal when a forward pass dropped untouched to the earth. Sutton had sneaked around the Oregon end and had assumed a position behind the blue when Miller hurled the ball over the scrimmage. It was - a trifle wide, but it gave Oregon a breathing spell for they brought the ball out and Fenton hoofed it away from impending danger. Oregon Xs Over-Zealoas. Some days ago the writer forecasted that If luck was with Oregon a touch down would decide. the issue either way. Oregon played in more fortune than It has before this year. The men fumbled little, but they were too eager to hurl themselves at the purple-clad men from the' north. It waa fatal, for it lost them 60 yards of ground hard to recov er. On the other hand, the team drilled In patience by the Mlnnesotan was pen alized but twice, and both times for an offside loss totalling 10 yards. Had it riot been' for the equalizing influence of Fenton's strong right leg and accurate toe, this over-eagerness in holding and charging might have been more costly. Oregon played a careful, well mapped out game. The secondary defense" was brilliant. The ends and halfbacks re fused to be drawn into any trap laid by Dobie's backs. Seeing this. Field Gen eral Smith was compelled to resort to straight football, and the choice trick plays in the Doble repertoire were stored away In mothballs to be used at s future date. Except for the successive forward passes In the first quarter, the Washington salwarts were not uniform ly successful with this dangerous,' though frequent big ground-gainer. Probably appalled by the recollection o Benny Robertson's touchdown at Albany last Saturday following one of Fenton's (Concluded on Pago Nine, Column One) Furnished Rooms & Apartments for Rent Apartments. tllTCHETIA COURT.

C, JJov. 15.. -Presl dent Wilson was so certain today that affairs in Mexico were adjusting them selves in accord with American views that he laid aside the duties of his of fice, declined to wait for dispatches from Charge D Affaires O'Shaughnessy and Special Envoy Lind fron Mexico City, and went to the golf links In the rain. Secretary .Bryan refused to give the reasons for the White House optimism although admitting that dispatches had been received from Lind and O'Shaugh hessy. "I cannot make predictions," said the secretary, "where so many persons are Involved in international questions and matters, such as is the case with Mex ico.

The administration has, been greatly encouraged by the assurances of the European powers that they will' sup- port the American policy in Mexico. Japan, too, has signified that it will support the American policy. Assur ances to this effect were received to day direct from Tokio.

' - ' The new congress was not fully organized today as had beea planned by Huerta. The lower house met and effected temporary organization -but the upper house failed to organize because of the lack of a quorum, due to the absence of the Catholic senators, who are said to have remained : away by agreement among themselves. ' Despite the failure to fully organize the new congress, Huerta and his supporters appear to be confident of their ability" to carry out their plans. They expect ihe Catholic senators to come into line by Monday so as to enable the upper house to organize for business in preparation for tlie formal opening on Wednesday. . When it was suggested today to President Huerta that condftiorrs" throughout the nation might develop in such a way as- to endanger Americans and other foreigners, he admitted that this might be so arid said: :.. "If foreigners are endangered, I shall do everything possible - to protect them. Of course, the rabble might rise, but I would not hesitate to apply severe methods to restore order. In any event I shall continue : to carry out my plan of pacification." The make-up of the new chamber is rather unusual.

First of those to receive Judgment at the hands of the new dictator was Captain Jose Torres. He was placed against an adobe wall in the plaza this afternoon and shot by 25 Con stitutionalists. Their commander gave the order of "Load, ready, aim, fire and It was declared legal.
