The football coach at a well-known university on the Hudson river re-, cently busied himself with an Inspec tion of a consignment of. new head gear sent out to the university gym by a well-known sporting goods house In lower Manhattan. , After the Inspection he registered dissatisfaction and addressed "Ole," ao Swede trainer, as follows: "Say, Ole, they sent, us all around headguards. Wish you'd see 'em and get some square ones, for we'll need ent." . ; So Ole Journeyed downtown on the subway and "saw 'em,'" reporting that Coach wanted some square headguarda. "You tell him," said the affable manager of . the sports goods empori um,, "that we are very sorry .we can rot furnish the headguards he asks for. We sent all the square onea to Tale."

Sacramento, Nov. It- d- N. 8.) Viewed from the present situation there is little prospect that Sacra mento will make an effort to get the Portland franchise ,ln . the Faclflo Coast league. It was .reported, "here, following a conference held today, that the ques tion seems to be definitely settled against this city entering the league again at this time, at least.

Titles at Stake Pacific Coast conference and Oregon state. By George Bertz ' Football enthusiasts have their eyes focused on the annual gridiron struggle between the two big state educational institutions University of Oregon and'Oregon Agricultural college Multnomafi field. No game played in this state in the last 10 years has re ceived the attention that is being centered on this season's battle, the first meeting on a Portland field in several years. ' Which team will win? That is a hard question to answer. Arries sup porters Sre loyal to their team, and followers of the University of Oregon eleven are still pinching themselves over the husky California eleven a week ago. little C ha ace to Get Xine ' Before the advent of the forward pass and open style football, one could get a line on a team's strength by compara tive scores, but of late comparative scores have been of little value : but. for the sake of comparison, the scores reg istered by Che teams this season are as follows : Oregon Aggies: Oregon f 84 Hospital Corps 0 14 Multnomah. .. 7 i 6 Idaho ........ 0 8 W. S. C. . . . . . .26 8 California. ..14 14 Idaho 0 6 Multnomah .. 0 0 Marines 27 0 W. S. C 21 California..... 0 0 Washington... 0 62 Total (0 19.... Totals ....20 Crowd Will Be Large Indications are that one of the largest crowds that ever attended a gridiron contest on Multnomah field, is expected to be present Thursday, when the tw elevens line up for the kickoff. Athletic managers of the two Institutions have lowered the price for the game. When the two colleges got together last winter and agreed to play the game in Portland the prices ranged from $1 to $2.50. The new prices are : General admission $1, grandstand 81.50 and box seats $2. The prices were rearranged In view of the wartime conditions. Coaches Bezdek of Oregon and Plpal of the Aggies are silent In regard to the probable outcome of the battle. Neither will predict a victory for his team. Ore Ron's chances leaped skyward by virtue of its 21 to 0 victory over the California team, which defeated the Oregon Aggies by the score of 14 to 8. Kewman's Absence Harts The Aggies received a big setback when Captain Meier Newman, former Lincoln high school star, injured his shoulder In the Washington contest. Newman, it has been announced, will be out of Thursday's game, and PlpaJ is working frantically to rebuild his team for the season's test. During the past several days the Ar- gieshave been put through stiff prac- Results of the Past Year. 1894 1895.. 1899 1897. 1898 1899 1902 1908 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 . 1910 1912..... 1911..

It is likely that Plpal win try and develop a forward pass com bination, in view of the fact that New man, who is a star at bucking the lines, will be out of the game. Defense Surprises California Bezdek developed a wonderful defense for the California game. It took the Big Bear off Its feet. The smashing of the backs and the forward passing of Steers, together with the wonderful re ceiving of "Doc" Medley ""Jui d Malson, gave Oregon its victory. No matter which team is doped to win, fans may rest assured that they will witness a football struggle. ' George Varnell, who has officiated In practically all the big games of the northwest for a number of years, will referee, and Plowden Stott will act as umpire, A head linesman has not been selected. OREGON TEAWTfROM ALL PARTS OF STATE TO FIGHT THURSDAY University of Oregon. Eugene. Nov. I 24. When Coach Hugo Bezdek's Univer sity of Oregon football team runs on Multnomah field. Thanksgiving day to meet the Oregon Agricultural college, fanddm is due for the first time in years to see the university, with a single ex ception, represented by an all-state of Oregon born and bred eleven. 'Carl Nelson, star right tackle. Is the only man who claims any state but Ore gon as his home. Nelson is a Junior In college and is registered from Chicago. I1L Portland leada with three products. They are "Fed" Malson, Carl Berg and George. Cook. Steers and Dow Wilson are from The Dalles. Macey is from Mc Mlnnville.' Maddock is - from Heppner. and Leslie' hails from Coqulll,; Medley on Multnomah Field for the First Time in Years With to be played Thanksgiving day on the Lemon-Yellow's victory over and Couch claim Cottage Grove and La Grande respectively as their birthplaces. Bezdek's eleven will be unique In more ways than one. Not a single man on the team or squad has had a single year's experience In the regular varsity lineup. Oregon will average close to 160 pounds, the lightest team that ever faced O. A. C. In a state championship battle. Seven Letter Men at O. A. C. The Aggies, will present a far differ ent front from Oregon. Coach Plpal has The Aggies' Last Victory Carl Wolff's tee gave the Oregon Aggies their last victory over Oregon la 1907. That, season plaee klekt coasted four points and It was In the second half that the Aggie star booted the pigskin between ' the goal posts on Klncald field.

Man for man they have the advantage oxer Malson, Macey,. Maddock. Leslie. Berg, Nelson and Dow Wilson, both In size and foot ball experience. With Captain Newman on the shelf for the remainder of the season, both backfleld combinations are on a par In driving power and experience, with O. A. C. having a slight advantage in weight. Blssett, who will no doubt run in New man's place. Is the only one f the Aggie quartet that has played two years of conference football. Lodell, Heard on and Ray of the Aggies, along . with Steers, Couch, Medley and Cook of Ore gon, are running their initial year as first string backfleld men. Steers Is Better PnnUr Fandom will be in for a pretty punt ing duel when Steer and Lodell start exchanging spirals. From previous per formances. Steers ought to have a. slight edge, aunougn ioaeu has been a con sistent performer In . all conference games. Both are equally dangerous with either the dropklck or goals from place ment. Before the varsity's wonderful exhibi tion against California last Saturday, Oreavn fans and Besdek held out little ope of gathering the long end of the Thanksgiving game. Right now there la not a. fan In Eugene who does not feel that Oregon will have a chance, but are agreed with Coach Bezdek that It will be the toughest battle ever for the Lemon-Yellow. "Let's forget about our California vie tory," said Coach Bezdek. during the big rally of last Monday. "O. A. C. has great team we'll have to fight as we never fought before If we hope to win. Are Practicing la Secret What has been going on nightly since the California game on Klncald field, be hind barred gates, will never be known to Oregon fans until November 29, on Multnomah field. Rumor has It that Bezdek is working up an entire new style of play to surprise the 'Aggies, Just as he disorganized the Bears ' .with volley of short passes and shift plays.
