The Aggies tried their forward passes but the incessant rain and the slippery mud contrived to tnake them harmless, except close to the end. Only two of the passes were successful for O A.

He was no match in the ag gregate for Beckett, Johnny's long high spirals allowed his ends to get clown on the ball in good shape and ten yards was, perhaps, the longest return of the day. In the last half of the game the ball was practically always deep in (J. A. C. territory. Several times Blllie waa forced to .punt from behind or near his goal line. The Aggies made considerably rrfWe yardage In the first quarter than Oregon, but the advantage of a touchdown gave new life to the- Kugene men, and in the second quarter they made a t.otal of 61 yards on straight plays to half as much for the Aggies. Beckett Waa Superior. The yardage from lin-e plays in the second half was slightly in favor of the Aggies, hut this could not by any means discount Beckett's superior punting. The fourth quarter was not over a minute old when Mitchell and l)utton came together after Beckett punted to the Aggies' doorstep. After the two lilaVOra lli.l a.ft lh& filrl I 'unluln Blllie was compelled to punt' from goal line. The pass from Anderson was bad. By the time the Astoria lad luad righted it. Tegart and Rlaley were on top of htm, and their combined velocity and weight crushed him to the ground beyond tho muddy white Hike. A safety, an unusual thing in Oregon-Aggie football, jjias recorded. hven though the Corvallis men iiad made a touchdown and kicked goal in their last desperate effort, they would still have lacked two points necessary for a tie score. With the game four minutes to go and the ball on the Aggies' 32-yard line, the Oregon strategy board decided to add more points if possible by a place kick. This was about the only bit of luck the Agglejj had during the day. They were in on the ball and blocked it, Koerllne recovering. "Hungry" Booted Low. The Aggies threw the line plunging to the winds and "Hungry" Smythe was called back to kick. He booted a low ball that one of the Oregon men touched as it croBesd the line of scrim mage, maXlng It a free-for-all affair. Montelth allowed himself to be out foxed on two successive occasions. Thinking the ball was Oregon's, Hon teith did not touch It, and Anderson fell on It, giving it to the Aggies. Smythe Immediately, punted again and (Mice more Montelth "failed to touch the ball, allowing it to roll until It came to a stop. He failed to take into con sideration that Smythe was punting close up the line and Abraham was on side, giving him a right to recover the ball If possible. Abe was right on the Job and when the Oregon safety did not fall on the ball, the O. A. C, man did. Arrlaa Qlven BaU. By this time the ball wasnly a few yards from Oregon's goal line. The Oregon contingent protested loudly against giving the ball to the Aggies, but Referee Varnell was obdurate. The Aggies then executed a forward pass and the ball was on the two yard line. Both teams were fighting desneratelv The Oregon forwards charged before the Aggies put the ball in play and that drew another penalty, half the distance to the goal for offside play. With the Lemon and Yellow fighting doggedly In their last trench, the Or ange and Black signalled an assault on the line, preceded by their Well known backfleld shift. The ball prob ably went over the line, but the eagle eye of Varnell detected Substitute Cen ter Anderson passing the ball before his backs came to a complete stor In their shifting process and whUt'.id an offside. Just then the timors fired the pistol that brought the jamj 10 a close, without the hope of th Ag gies realized. It was a disheartening day for the promising Stewart team, the team that beat by 0 to 0 the noted Mich igan Aggies, which oly the week be fore had crushed the famed Fielding Yost and his University of Michigan eleven, 2 to 0. Beckett Was Star. Johnny Beckett was easily the greatest player on the field. Con siderable speculation was indulged In over the outcome of his individual duel with l.aythe, the great O. A, C. his-ftackle wno Pr"os" him Hewever, one may compliment Beckett without disparaging Laythe for the reason that Beckett played all over his Bide of the line, sometimes against I.ajthe and sometimes against Hofer land his relief, Bissett. If it were I.aythe's instructions to put Beckett out of the play, when the Aggies had the ball, he failed signally. Beckett plays all over that side of the line and no tackle in the country can keep him out of the play on either side of center. Laythe played a great deal better game when his team was on defense tiian when upon offense for the rea son mentioned. "Shy" Waa There. "Shy" Huntington p.lso played a bril liant game for the winners and none the leis sdntillotlng was Jake Rislev. This boy Kisley measured up next to Beckett as the most valuable man on the field. Young Bob Malarkey brother of the redoubtable "Tick" whose physician kept him off the team u,is year. Is a worthy successor in keeping the fam ily name in the football limelight. It reminds one of the famous Templeton family, for there Is another young M;i- larkley playing on the Astoria sand lots, who is grooming himself for a place in old Man Bezdeck's Backfleld some years hence. One might sing the praise of each member of the Oregon team, unstinted ly, for they tackled and charged as no other Oregon team, in the writer's memory. Fraiga Sua ZiOBara. But some praise is due the mem bers of the losing team. Abraham, who was called "the second Heslon" after his marvelous exhibition against SWEDISH PEOPLE IN WEST TOPIC OF BOOK Miss Anna S. Swanson, A The preparation of a book entitled, "The Swedes in the West," Is the task upon which Rev. J. Jesperson, president of Coeur d'AIena- college, Coeur d'AJene, Idaho, and Miss Anna S Swanson, A. M., are engaged. The purpose of this book Is to -give- a correst presentation of the status of the Swedish people in the west.

M. the big sections showing method the Michigan Aggies, was the victim of Hugo Bezdek's Ingenuity. Just as both Stewart and Bezdek countered on each other In preparing a defense that made Art l-.utz and Johnny Parsons look like a pair of tyros, so did the Oregon mentor pre pare to block Abraham. 'Everybody watch Abe," was tho Eugene slogan and everybody did. Af t r the first cjuarter the defensive preparation against the Aggies' demon began to tell and he was not able to shine as of old. Innocently adding to Bezdek' s scheme was the large amount of fumbling that Abe eontributed in trying to handle the wet ball on direct passes from the center. Allen played a nice game, and so did Smythe. Injuries to so many of the Agies kept them from shining as they might have done had they been able to remain longer In the game. Captain Billle played a powerful game on both offensive and defensive. The tackling of the Eugene men did not fease this lithe young blonde, who leads the Ag gies. Game Was Clean. The tussle was an unusually clean one, and only the best of feeling pre vailed, except In the one instance when Dutton and Mitchell were thrown out of the game by Umpire Kawcett for roughing each other. Dutton got de? cidedly the worst of the affair, but, as they jolted each ether simultaneously. Fawcett was compelled to chase the pair to the shower baths Inside the big gymnasium. A new head lineman was introduced in Sam Moyer, of Spokane, and Moyer is a fellow who has nerve enough to call them as he sees them. The hundred or more puddles of wa ter on the field, slowed up the Aggies' team, and a number of offsides were called when their shift play started ahead of the ball. On a dry field tho Aggies would doubtless have either beaten or tied the Oregon game. There is little question about that In the minds of those who have followed football. How They Llnad Up.

Takaa Car of MontavUla Diatriet. Finishing touches being made to the East Kishty-second and Willow streets trunk sewer mark the completion of the. fourth final unit of the Eaat Star street sewer system, the largest sewer system ever built In Portland. Work on the main trunk sewer is practically completed, but It will be a number of days before all the laterals are constructed and the streets torn iin not tack Into shape. This main trunk is the largest ewer project 'un dertaken during the year, and cost ap proximately $180,000. It drains more than 700 acres of the eastern portion of the city, including the entire Montavilla district and tne eastern and northern slopes of Mount Tabor. It is the first sewer ever built in 'Jiat district. Sewer Is Big One. The sewer is three mile long, and when finally completed, will extend from East Ninety-fiecond and Stark streets to East Sixty-third and Willow streets, and there connect with other units of the East Stark street system. Work on the project started last April. Owing to the natural depressions In the Montavilla district, in most places it has been necessary to lay the pipe 30 feet below the surface of the ground, thus necessitating the digging of exceptionally deep trenches. The sewer is of reinforced concrete construction, and built in sections of four foot lengths. The inside diameter of the pipe is five feet, or neavly tne height of an average man. The greatest difficulty encountered In the project was the lowering of the huge sections., These sections were built In steel forms, with the concrete being allowed to remain in the forms for 24 hours. Oreat Car TJsed. L'pon being taken out of the forms the sections were raised into the air and tli en lowered info the trenchee to be connected with other sections as the work progressed. The utmost care had to be taken in putting the sections in place, owing to the fact that tre mendous damage could be done by one of the sections getting loose from its fastenings. The work was done by William Llnd. under the direction of J. C. Sharp, head of the city bureau of sewers.

Herbert Liersh, nephew of Otto Schumann, of 43 East Sixteenth street, this city, gives a graphic ac count of fighting on the front in a letter just received here dated Seitz, October lfi. Eiersh is "3 years old. The wounds that sent him to the hos pital came dangerously near proving fatal. 'Several times I have commenced a letter for you. without. 1 regret to say, being able to complete it," writes Liersh.

At first I was, for about two months, around Arras in France; there after I took part in the struggle in the Champagne, the great French offensive in March this year, which cost the French 45.000 lives without the gain of a few meters of ground. "In these engagements I suffered no injury, although on Easter Sunday the French picked the spike off my helmet, and three days later a shell splinter ' struck my chest and completely de molished a field glass without doing any damage to my person. Took Many Prisoner. "Now, at the end of April, we went through Germany to Galicia. Here I took part In the great penetrating movements at Gorlice, and In the storming of the Dukla pass on the second and third of May, during which we took over lOO.nijo Russian prison ers and considerably over 100 heavy cannon.

At thi point we encountered terrible counter charges of the Russians, wht were bent on break ing through here to rescue the sur rounded fortress Przemysl. The enemy opposed us at this pioint with a twelve times greater number of troops, and we (succeeded In defeating them.
