. By the above score the newly or
ganlsed club football team went
down to defeat yesterday before the
strong hitch ' school team. From the
start the game was seen to belong to
Captain Storle's team, and all through
the game they had the better of the
playing. Though good, hard Individ
ual work wan done by several of the
elb players, their lack of team work
pot them at a disadvantage.
At the opening of the game Strand
klcaod-off for the high school, and
the ball was returned quite a. distance
before the club runner was downed.
On lining up line plunges were at
tempted, but the high school line held
like a wait, and furnished a surprise
for thoso who hftd Imagined the line
was weak, and that H eould not
withstand the charges of the club-
After a few minutes the ball was
given to tho high school m downs,
and on the first play a long end run
waa made by Pierce, left half back.
The runner was backed by splendid
Interference, and almost through for
a touchdown when tackled. Further
plays showed that the high school
coeld make gains against the club
almost at will. After a few more
downs the position was favorable for
a place kirk for goal, and one was
attempted by Turner. However, the
hall went whin of the mark and re
sulted In a touchback. It was then
kicked from tho 10 -yard line by the
club team and was worked back and
forth during the rent of the half. Al
though the high school had all the
best of tho playing, they were un
fortunate In being penalised through
another failure at a try for a field
goal. The ball was In the center of
tho field when tlmo was called.
, AH Hootch In Second Half.
In the second half the school team
was again too much for their op
ponents, and early in the half the
ball was carried close to the goal line
and carried over by line plunges. At
this the high school supporters went
wild with enthusiasm, and during the
cheering a goal was kicked by Tur
ner. Following tho next kick-off the
ball was again carried down the field
by the school boys, and carried oer
tho line. However, the umpire ruled
that the quarterback had carried the
ball through the line, and the team
was penalised. However, In spite of
this reverse the high school continued
their line-bucking tactics and soon
carried the ball over the line. A try
for goal wont outsldo the south post
The rest of the game was played
without further scoring.
NulM In Second Hull.
During the second half many of the
club players wen? replaced by subs.
Mllnrky succeeded Uaum as end;
flosklns took Wilson's place as half.
Kelly relieved Stephens as end, and
Ruppe took Hessian's placo as quar
ter during tho latter part of the
game In tho high school team Pick
son and Gilbert played ends during
tho latter part of tho game. While
several minor Injuries were sustained
by different players, tho only serious
damage was Inflicted on Reeves, the
plucky high school guard, who suf
fered a. broken nhoulder toward the
close of the find half. His place was
taken by O. Thompson.
For tho high school team It would

Chicago, Deo. 1. The police
tills morning, after nn all-night,
search for Dnn Clark, the Mich
igan half-back who lost the
game, and whose friends feared
he bad suicided, waa found In a
hotel with a fraternity brother,
crushed and broken and declar
ing he would never go baok to
Ann Arbor. Instead, he went
home to Detroit. His team
mates are loyal, but unable to
soothe him. . ,
was done by Captain Storle, who usu'
ally carrlud the ball on the line
plunges, Scott was a tower
strength and ' plnyed a game that
seldom seen In a, high school context.
Turner as quarter Is entitled to strong
credit for ho plnyed a strong, gritty
game, - However, he was unfortunate
on his place kicks. Also, Ends Strlck
lln and Thompson both played great
games and were good ground gainers
when they had the bull. However,
the most spectacular work was done
by the two halfbacks. Pierce and
Strand. The formor, especially, made
some splendid runs. However, In this
his success was largely due to te
manner In which his path was cleared
by Strand and others In the Interfer
ence. Tt Is generally conceded that
Scott, Strand and Plerco are quali
fied to try for places on any ot the
northwest collegiate elevens.
For the club team heroic work was
done by Fullback Lytle. who was in
every piny when en the defensive,
and strove hard to break down the
school line wlthsccnter bucks, bat In
this he was poor'y supported.
A strong, plucky game was played
by Captain Hessian as quarter, while
Coon. Knight Harris, Halley ' and
Finch did good work In the line.
Crowd Was Small. ...
Unfortunately, the crowd was small
yesterday, and sh a result the gate
receipts were not large. This was
largely due to tlie bad weather In
the forenoon, which doubtless kept
many away. Altto, the muddy streets
In the business part of town doubtless
discouraged some. . From the appear'
ance of Main street one would have
Imagined the football field to be In
a terrible condition. However, the
ground was really In good shape and
the weather In the afternoon was
Ideal for football.
Quite a lively scrimmage occurred
just after the game, When the school
boys made eTf with the ball claiming
It as their trophy. For a time It
looked like a general mix-up. but one
of tho school players slipped from
the crowd and Jumping Into a buggy
was driven oTt on a run.

Albert Percy Watmough Evans,

midshipman in his royal highness
navy," head waiter , at Bingham
Springs, and a friend of Marshal Coff
man, has eloped all by himself, after
having passed three or four worthless
checks upon his friends in this city.
From here be is thought to have left
for Spokane this morning, but he ha
not yet been found, though instruc
tions have been seat out for bis ar
rest by the sheriff.
Those who mourn the disappearance
of the young man most are Bond
Bros., who have lost 184 through him;
William Reavis, who took a check for
(26, and Marshal Coffman, who was
given a check for $400 to cash, bat
did not give Evans any money upon
it. It was through the efforts of the
marshal that the trickery was found
out, for Immediately after he had beea
given the eheck he wired to Portland
to find tf it were good. The check was
drawn upon the Canadian Bank of
Commerce of Portland, as atsa nvn
the other two given here, and In re
sponse to the marshal's Inquiry the
bank replied that Evans had no funds
on deposit; also that they did net
know him.
Early this morning Evans stated to
Marshal Coffman that he was going
to Portland on the afternoon train to
see his father, whom he claimed was
111 In n Portland hospital. However,
it was later learned that he left on
the Spokane train, and according to
the expressman who took his grips to
the depot, he said he was going te
Spokane.
Evans an Unsuitable Problem.
The story of young Evans Is a pe
culiar one, and indicates that ha is
either a degenerate son of honorefl
parentage, or else' is t swindler who
has falsely represented himself while
here. Since his departure, many are
Inclined to this latter opinion of the
young man.
Last summer Albert Percy Wat
mough was employed as head waiter
at the Bingham Springs resort and
served to seat the guests on their ar
rival in the dining room. This he did
with a grace that Indicated training,
but whether It was acquired in an
English palace, or a cafe, is not

young Englishman made the ac
quaintance of Marshal Coffman, and
he was apparently a devoted friend
of the big marshal ever after. When
the season at the springs closed he
came to Pendleton, and since then
has been living here, passing much of
hie time In company with Marshal
Coffman. For a few weeks past the
two men had roomed together.
During the fair the two men visit
