DEFEAT AT

Great Game Froa Old Tune
Rivals by Score of Nine
toNothing Before Big Crowd
Eugene, Nov. 20. In one of the
most heart-breaking football game
ever seen on an Oregon gridiron, Ore
gon university defeated the Oregon
Agricultural college thl afternoon
by the score of 9 to 0. In the very
last SO second of the game the Ag
gie forced the ball over Oregon'
line for' what appeared to be the
score which wonld have saved them
a shut-out, but the referee declared
they had played off-side In doing so.
Throughout the game Oregon play
ed the better ball. The field was a
sea of mud and close formation play
were mostly used. The forward
passe almost all failed due to the
slippery ball, t i
Oregon made her first touchdown
in the first quarter after a aerie of
line plunge. The other scoring was
done In the final quarter, when the
varsity secured a safety.
It waa estimated that nearly, 11,-
000 person packed the grand stands,
bleachers and aide line when the ball
waa kicked off in the O. A. C. and
U. of O. game here thl afternoon
for the championship of the state and
second place In the Northwest con
terence. The ground waa aoggy, de
spite large quantities of sawdust
scattered over it.
The ball was wet and hard to
handle.
Between halve, the Oregon root
era, led by their band, serpentined
around the field, chanting their col
lege song. A huge Ibonib wa ex
ploded and a shower of green con
fetti ' floated over the field and
bleachers. ,
Five hundred O. A. C. cadets also
performed. . . . - ..

Without a clergyman, and with on

Jammed Union square when I. W. W.s

HARVARD
Yale Team Pet Up Desperate
Battle, But, Was Swamped
. Under a Score cf 41 to 0
cn the Field at Cambridge
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 20. Yale'
valiant team that flouted the critic
and defeated Princeton waa unequal
to the task of adding the crimson
scalp to its collection and went down
In honorable defeat before the Har
vard eleven today by a score of 41
to 0. ' .- C.'
Yale fought with true Tale cour
age Even In the face of overwhelm
ing defeat, the son of Ell struggled
gamely, and when the final gun
sounded they were contesting every
inch of ground as desperately aa they
were when the first kick-off started
the game. ; ;
: Harvard was a much superior team.
The figures composing the score, in
tact, accurately ' represented the
strength of the rival elevens. In de
fense and offense the crimson easily
outclassed the grim Yale fighters; in
everything but gameness Yale wa
hopelessly outclassed.
. Captain Mahan added to his repu
tation won on many hard fought
fields. 8eldom did he fall to add ma
terial yardage when lie carried the
ball, and his work on the defensive
was perfect. 'As usual, Mahan's toe
was a bio- factor la the game. , He
more than held bja own with the
Yale kickers, and after Guernsey left
the game he gained from five to ten
yards on every exchange of punt.
Furthermore, he added point after
point with machine-like regularity
through hi goals after touchdowns.
With Mahan. Halfback King of
Harvard, shared the laurels of the
victors. King's work throughout wa
of high order. Time after time he
was hurled through the line for sub
stantial gains, and his speed was
greater than in any cf the prellmln
ary game. He electrified the bleach
era by the most. sensational run of
the game, sprinting 58 yards to a
touchdown after he had eluded the
entire Yale secondary defense.
Guernsey had little opportunity to
do service for Yale. He was com
pelled to quit the game early because
of an injury. .
, Approximately 50,000 persons wit
nessed the game.
Tho governor Is In deadly earnest
In hi threat to rid the state of the
organisation. His life haa been
threatened repeatedly by members of
this bcIly. They have said they
would destroy the capttol and other
public buildings as a result of Hill-
Strom's execution.
. Salt Lake City has gone for weeks
In fear of them. Now Spry Intends
to clean the state of the last I. W. W,
It he has to use the militia to effect
this. - .. . ,
"The fight has just' begun," says
the governor. "I will . drive ; out
every lawbreaker .and, every ,man
who defies law and order, , no matter
what he may call himself." -
Spry has called upon the notice to
enforce hi mandate, but he proposes
to act Independently and thorough
ly If their campaign does not bring
results. He Is Incensed kt what he
1 regards as an obvious "plant" by
I. W. W. member to tree Hlllstrom
at the eleventh .hour by getting the
William , Busky affidavit at Seattle.

MOIIASTIR HAS
BEEN CAPTURED
BY TEUTOH ARMY
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Paris. Nov. ' 20. Monastir. In
southern Serbia, has fallen, accord
ing to reliable reports today.
With this city evacuated and
crushed, it is believed, that the re
sistance . of the southern Sers
against the Bulgars has ended. In
the future, H Is expected, the French
and British must do the fighting
there, while the Serb guerillas are
campaigning separately, harassing
the enemy as vigorously as possible.
Thus far no official announcement
of the city's fall has been made, but
reports of the Bulgar victory are
from reliable sources.
The Bulgars are not expected, how
ever, to press their advantage much
farther south of Monastir, because it
Is loss than 10 miles from the Greek
border, and the Bulgars probably will
be careful not to violate Grecian
neutrality.
Northwest of Monastir the French
and Bulgarians are reported In des
perate combat. The French have
resumed their movement toward
Veles, but have not claimed gains In
It.
Bulgar forces have hurled ' their
forcoa against Strumnltsa, only to be
reputed. They are now trying iby
counter-attacks to recoup their
losses. ,

Lord Kitchener was expected to see
King Constantino today, unless the

Vienna, Not. 20. GoriU Is turn- ;
ing at many points. , Three thousand
shells, hurled by the Italian batteries
without let up, piled many houses In
to ruins, set serious fires throughout
the city and killed many inhabitants.'
The damage Is enormous.
From a military standpoint the
bombardment accomplished little. The
Austrlana still hold their . original
positions and have repulsed, enemy
attacks. The Increased Intensity of
the Gorits Btruggle is Incidental to
a general assault on the Isonso line,
but the Austrian are holding their
own at every point.
The Gorits bridgehead has become
the center of the Italian attack. Gun
of every caliber are shelling it.
"On the northern slope of Monte
San Mlohele," the war office admit
ted, "the enemy repeatedly pene
trated our positions, but ' Tloient
hand-to-hand fighting resulted In our
