season, a hard battle i expected, .as
j tha etate university team ban Improved
,. wonderfully in its cf fensive and defen-
' play.
The "Winged M" team will be minus
it atar halfback, Grover Francis, in
tha turkey day battle, and the loaa of
thisj player will make some difference
.In tha club lineup. The backfteld line
up against Oregon will be Day, full-
ck; DeWltt and Parsons, halfbacks,
0d Rupert or Sharp, quarterback.
To Change Xdneup.
f Captain Rupert plana on changing
xha defensive lineup. G-eoirge Phil-
brook, wlio played a great gam
.gainst tha Olympic team last Sunday,
WllKbe used on the defensive end, and
Leonard Striebig and Alec Donaldson
v will be used as the defensive half
' fcacjt. because of their ability to break
: Vp forward pasees.
,-Tlw line will be strengthened by the
presence of George Watson and potwi--bly
3111 Holder). Watson was unable
to make, the San FrwicUuo ti Ip, and
as a' result tlte clubmen wer handi
capped on haying no substitutes. Sev
aral second trlitg players will be given
a hance to' break Into the first lineup
jln tbe gam agalnstf Oregon.
Owgon has not won a game from the
"Winged M" team wince lDrtit. That
season a plce kick spelled defeat for
tha clubmen. MultnSmeh won the 1910
, game by a margin of one touchdown.
' but since that sea son the clubmen
bava won by good sixed scores.
Eager for Bevenge.
, Tha Lemon-Yellow aggregation will
be in better condition ttiau tha club
man this year. A majority of the
; "Winged M" players still feel the
affects of the aea trip up from San
Vrancisco, and they have but four
days In which to get their 'bearings.
Oregon nan been putting up stiff bat
tles against the clubmen for the past
.four years, and It would not be sur
prising to see the clubmen held to a
irery low score this year.
Oregon lias but four victories to Its
' wed It over the club men, and, accord-
. Ing to reports from Eugene, they are
eking revenge-for the early season
: defeat handed tlim.
rThe admission, Including reserved
peats, flor this year's game has been

CALIFORNIA IS
IN ATMOSPHERE
' OVER FOOTBALL
Rumors and Counter Rumors
Are Floating Around San
Francisco,
The California football situation
has many sides to it. Stanford, ac
cording "to information received from
a reliable source, will not give up the

emphatically denied by the officials
of the two Institutions.
There Is one thing that is certain
in football affairs in the south, and
that is that the University of Cali
fornia will have a new roach next sea
son. Coach Jimmy Schaeffer of the
Klue and Gold squad was unmercifully
Tanned" by the football writers and
followers of the game for his poor
showing in the first game with Wash
ington, but after his proteges came
back and held California to a 13-7
score there was no end to the paens
of praise. But just the same, there
will be a change.
It is understood that tho athletic
association of the University of Cal
ifornia has made flHlmors Dobie. the
University of Washington eoach, an
offer, but this is denied by the Seat
tle mentor. Some of the California
people have their eye on Coach Bill
Liets of the "Washington Staters, and
should an offer be made the former
Carlisle star, he. will likely accept it

get the sport followers accustomed
to the American gam a, bat a number

Muscovites' Measure,
Walla Walla, Wuh,, Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Whitman college is preparing

This year the missionaries are de
termined to have at least one win with
their string of defeats.
Whitman will have the best team in
the field she has had this year, and
Coach Vincent Borleake Is hapeful that
he will be able to drub tho Muscovites.
Green at the beginning of the year, the
eleven now has experience, and with a
rest of nearly two weeks, will be In
condition to give th best possible ac
count of Itself.
From comparative scores Whitman
has the better of It. but she usually
does before tha game, -only to find a
different story on the gridiron.

"The Impression that we decided
definitely to erase Portland's name

to be widespread," he said, "when
such, as I was careful to explain, was
not the case at all. At no time did
I believe that we would be forced to
