Nov. -17 "Washington held the bloodthirsty Oregon Aggies to a score less gam hers today -on University field, putting up better football throughout and , forcing the Torvallis boys to serial playing. By the end of the second, quarter, Washington's su premacy was established. For O. A. C; Lodell' arm was the high light . Washington, 'as 4s her - custom, rushed the ball to her opponents' dan ger Hoe during the first 10 minutes of play, her backs pounding through tackle for 7, I and 10 yard 'gains, finally being stopped on the Aggie even yard line. The Oregonlana promptly punted out of what was the only dangerous goal threat until well along , In the fourth quarter, when March, for Washington, recovered the ball on Reardon's fumble, and : Blake attempted a drop kick from the Ore gon 20 yard line, missing by "a few feet. O. A. G. O-elns on Forward Fass .' Blake, punting for Washington,-out-kicked lodell throughout by from five to IS yards, averaging 60 yards to the Aggies' 45 yards. Washington was noticeably weak on the forward pass, but one being successful during the entire game, and that netting them but three yards while their opponents were forced, to rely almost entirely on that atyle of play, and making many gains, the largest being 25 yards. Washington took a stiff offensive from the kick-off at the start of 'the' game, her pounding through the Ore gon line carrying the ball the entire length of the field, Lodell's toe alone .saving the goal line rom capture. The second quarter began with the Washington bunch tamed slightly and .the two teams battled through a fairly en period, though toward the end the borne team's line began to show up again and the visitors were forced1 Into repeated punts. O. A. O. Threatens Goal The coaches seem to have gotten In . some good work between halves, for the third period opened with "Plpal passes" predominating in the Orange and Black ranks. Any at tempt at line plunging was not only held, but the Purple and Oold, time after time, carried Pipal's men back for losses of from one to 10 yards. After a successful 10 yard pass in this quarter. Lodell attempted a drop kick from the SO yard line, but it was successfully blocked, Williams, the Washington quarter, recovering -and running the ball back 10 yards Xjodell Star of Oeme - -Ixidelr easily carried away the Ore- : gen honors, making most of the spec, "tacular passes, kick and runs through' out the game.

Geor gia Tech, at Atlanta, Ga., is out to gather the largest gridiron laurels this year and places its hopes in great measure in the work of these four boys. The team has already corraled high honors for their smashing, vigorous play. Tellow wing man, intercepted two Cal-j lfornia passes at critical points when Andy Smith's men were moving down the field.. Once Bill Steers found, his range to Medley, which worked to per-i fection during the entire game, Oalt fcrnla was helpless. Fandom was agreed when it left the field as was? Referee George Varnell, that Coach Bezdek had worked up the best for ward passing attack that any team had shown in the past few years. rour Interfere on Pass t Oregon's pass was a tantalizer. Steers rot it off with quick; precision and each time bis aim found Medley In the air, flanked by four.interferers with the ball safely tucked In his arms. Just when California thought that Steers was about to shoot the hall to Medley they were mystified to see Left End Dow Wilson fikoot directly, across the line and grab a short pass. Steers to Medley was good for three success ful passes netting 20 yards. I Twice when Steers saw.no one to pass to and when California's second ary defense was lying in wait for 4 pass, he raced around their ends for 20 yard gains. California had a Shads the better of the first quarter and had Oregon on the defensive with their passes, line bucks, and wide end runs led by the speedy Shad Rowe.

He stepped back for a drop kick but In his hurry to score what looked to be an easy three points, he kicked wide. Califor nia put the ball in play on Its own 20-yard line and on the first play Hooper made two yards through cen ter. , Rowe made six yards around right end but was thrown for a two yard loss by Nelson on the next play. Big tow-headed Darrell Richardson, California's giant right tackle and punter, stepped back to punt the oval out of danger. He little dreamed that 10 Seconds later Bill Steers, after catching his jmnt would run around the entire California team for a 60 yard return and a touchdown. It hap pened so quickly that it took the breath out of California, and caused every fan, save those few on the Bruins bench to raise en masse and cause bedlam to break loose. . lie added the extra point and Ore gon was on its way to victory. Oregon Una Braces XTp Nothing could stop Besdek's men from then on. The line braced, the backs showed new drive and Califor nia was nervous, and disorganized. From then on it was all f oh the var sity. Try as they might California couldn't stop the aerial heaves of Steers, and their heavy line showed Uttle strength . when Steers. Medley and Couch started plugging off tackle. After an exchange of offensives, with neither team able to gain, Oregon got the ball on the blue and gold's 40-yard line by recovering their fumble. Then, following two Inle -plays. Steers to Medley again came to life with an eight yard pass and Medley journeyed the remaining distance to the goal line al ter butting off two Calif ornlastacklers.

Remembering Andy Smith's great comeback against St. Mary's in the second half, with the score 14 to 0 against them, Oregon fans were none too certain that the lemon yellow could withhold the big blue and gold charg ers during the reamlning two periods. However, no sooner, had the quarter opened when Oregon again took the ball and continued -its slashing at tack, with Medley and Steers the' big thorns tearing at the Bears' sides. Medley was on the receiving end of two successive passes, from Steers, which netted 20. yards.

By George Bertz ' Camp Lewis, Wash., Nov. 17. Put ting up a wonderful fight, despite its crippfted condition,' the Multnomah Amatenr Athletic club eleven "went down to a 10 to 3 defeat before the heavy Ninety-first division, team to day. The game was said to have been one of the prettiest and hardest fought games played at the American Lake cantonment this season. Multnomah was minus four of Its regular players. Gene Murphy, its field leader, being unable to start the game on account of an injury received In Thursday night's practice. Murphy's loss was a great handicap to the team. Sommey Is Srlght Star The 91st Division can thank Rommey, Its right half for its victory.- On ths first down, of the contest, be ripped off a 40-yard and a couple of downs later followed It up with a 15 -yard off tackle play. This pu.t the soldiers within the club's 10-yard line, but a IB -yard penalty killed the soldiers' chances of making a touchdown. On the fourth down, McKay dropped bacX to the 20-yard line and put ths ball through the uprights. Later in th first period, the club men tied the score, Jack Day making a beautiful 43-yard place kick, after ths clubmen failed to' pierce the army's line. Throughout the second quarter (ha two teams battled tooth and nalL ths army having the advantage because of their superior experience and weight. . The .lone touchdown of the game was registered in the third period, the soldiers taking possession of the ball on their 25 yard line after the clubmen were held for downs. End runs sand wiched with off , tackle plays and straight Una bucks, by Etommey, Mc Kay, Craig and Kapple enabled the soldiers to march down the field for 75 yards for a touchdown. The .club men put up. a terrific fight and It was only by the' narrowest of margins that the, soldiers put the ball across the goal line. McKay converted. For: the soldiers,- Captain Russell was a tower of strength. He smashed every attempt at line plunging. Mc Crae, former Willamette end. played a great game for ths soldiers. Lane, who played with California until recently. also played a fine game. Xrfrattlt and Kale Tackle Tom Lou ttlt and Harry Hale starred for the club. Time after time the club tackles smashed the soldiers' Interfer ence' and downed the man carrying ths ball for losses. 'Roily Jones played a great game at end.

By R. A. Cronln With Its customary lack of business acumen, the director oi tne racmo Coast league, the most monumentally mismanaged baseball circuit in the country from a business standpoint, are unable to see that the Salt Lake club is falling away in Its drawing power at boms and is ao longer the as set it was to the league. Directors of the Salt Lake club, in their financial statement, let the cat out of the bag. The club lost money during the season lust, closed and is depending upon payments on . players Obtained from It by the major leagues to put It ahead, of the season. looses Though a Contender The statement of the Salt Lake club showed- decrease of S1S,94Z.S over the previous year in its "at home" re ceipts. This seems incredible in view of the fact that the 6alt Lake club j was a pennant contender from April to the waning days of October. With a first division club as it was. the Salts should have made at least 1 5,0H1 more than the receipts show. Portland, never better than a second division club during the season, which it is conceded will ..not draw within S1K.000 of receipts ot a first division club, la. in better shape than the Sail Lake club from a financial standpoint. Here is a parallel brought to atten tion yesterday by Judge McCredie. Ths Bees finished the season with a net loss of 2,S8.11. not counting the potential returns from Player Han nah, sold to the New York Americans, and Rath, drafted by Cincinnati. The "Potential baere There Is $1600 remaining due the Salt Lake club for the Hannah deal and 200 due In the draft of Rath. If neither Is taken for army service and both report to their big league clubs, the exchequer of the Salt Lake club will be enhanced to the extent of 14000. This would place Salt Lake ahead on the 1117 season exactly $1,614.89. Judge McCredie states that If Port land for army reasons does not re ceive the money for Kenneth Williams, sold, and Byron Houck, drafted, by the St. Louis Americans, Its net losses for the year will be leas than that ot Salt Lake. And If the two Beavers are able to report and Williams Is able to make good as a big leaguer, the profits of the Portland club will ex ceed those of Salt Lake. rigares Show "Decline A survey of the cold figures shows that 8alt Lake is falling away, which was predicted , by disinterested per sons... Ths city Is too small and fa miliarity with high class baseball gradually ' causes a lessening of gen eral - Interest. ' Salt Lake paid visit ing clubs I21.C81.7S, which was I1695S7 less than Salt Lake received while it was visiting Los Angeles. San Fran cisco, Oakland and Portland. The money paid by Salt Lake to visiting clubs was 11445.41, which was not so much more than Portland's second di vision club paid out In the poorest year In its history. ' The "at home" net receipts of the Salt Lake club were $86,24.67. While the club lost $11,142.42 over receipts of the preceding; year, this was partly nullified by the fact that more effi cient management and ourtailment of expenses made a saving of $1M50.4 over the operating cost of 1118, else Liberty Golf Netted $72,375 To Red Gross XJherty golf tournament ar. ranged sy ths TTalted SKs tea Golf association netted rraTB, aoooro lng to an ansonn cosiest made by the secretary of the parent golf association, Tae entire asaouat was turned ever to ths Jaed Cross.

What mture Stay Sold Unless conditions are more favora ble, and by all the natural laws they shoeuld be worse In 1118, the Salt Lake club may become a white ele- ' phant on the hands of the league, whleh will then have lost title to the Portland territory. If Salt Lake can't keep up its end in 118, the great Pacific Coast league will have de teriorated into nothing more than a California state league and will have lost its standing of prominence in the baseball world. In fact. It will become inferior even to the North w esteem league. Its class AA rating, guaranteed when it came under tbe protection of organised baseball In 1S6S, will have become a mere pre tense. Transportation rrohleat Jkdved Judge - McCredie had a bright Idea I strike him yesterday, which would ! solve the . transportation problem la the Coast league, which seems to be the bugbear of the Callfoornia mag nates, and which would rive Sacra mento and Fresno the chance they are said to desire of entering the circuit. The McCredie plan- would cost only $18 more per man than It does on a round trip ticket from San Francisco to Salt Lake. The price of a ticket from San Francisco, the hub of the circuit, to Salt Lake and backus $40. The price of a ticket from San Fran cisco to Salt Lake and return via Port land la $56. This would cut down measurably the cost of fares, not count ing, of course, the war tax. An "Eight Club "League Ths addition of Sacramento and Fresno would make an eight club league and allow. Bait Lake and port land to play a. home at the sama time. The California team that plays in Salt Lake could come to Portland and the team olaying in Portland could go to Salt Lake. When the two clubs are away from home, all six clubs would be playing .. in California, where the transportation problem takes care of Itself. " While Judge McCredie thought of the ides, he win not officially take it up with the Coast league. In view ot his negotiations with the Northwest ern league for entrance into that cir cuit. He merely suggests it for the Oallfornlans' consideration. And in the meantime, what has be come of Sacramento's business men who clamored to get into the league a couple of weeks ago? Judge Mc Credie has not heard, from them nor has he had any word from San Fran cisco. Baking Tip ths Cola The first flush of excitement being over, the Solons have probably settled down to the solicitation of money . to buy the Portland, franchise and' play ers. These things usually happen this way: John Smith tells Bill Brown, the moving spirit, that he will take a couple of thousand dollars' worth of stock and so do a lot of other John Smiths. But when Bill Brown gets out the little subscription paper and makes the rounds, John -Smith sud denly discovers that he has a $2000 note coming due or a bill of goods to pay for and can't spare the money Juet at this time, but will sign up later. That may be the case at Sacramento Just at present.
