CORRESPONDENT SCORES
REPORT OF FOOT BALL GAME
Declares Democrat's Report
Misrepresented Facts, Doing
Willamette an Injustice
Albany Democrat: Your issue of
October 23, 191(5, contains an account
of the Willamette University-Albany
College football game, which, to my
mind, deliberately misstates the facts.
Therefore, in order to correct, if pos
sible, any false impression which may
have been created thereby, I ask for
space in your paper.
Your article states that Willamette
team was continually penalized for
roughing. As a matter of fact, no pen
alties for roughing were inflicted on
either side, throughout the entire
game. Any member of the Albany
tram will bear me out in this state
ment. Your article also states that Teal,
Willamette's halfbacft, was put out
of the ganie for rough play, after re
peated warnings from the referee. As
a matter of fact, this game player was
not once warned by the referee that
he was roiighlrg, and left the field
only because he was no longer able
to stand on his injured leg, after
gamely participating in several plays
with his knee half out of joint. He
was not put out of the game at all,
but on the contrary went out only
when he could stand up no longer.
Your article - further alates that
Coach Matthews was continually sig
naling to his team from the sidelines.
There is absolutely no grounds for
this attempt to Injury Matthew s rep
utation as a square coach. He was ac
companied by an official each time he
went on the field and the captain
of the Albany squad, also, could have
been right at his side, had he chosen
to exercise his privilege in the mat-
r.
You t.-em to have tried to create
the impression that, because Hunter's
leg happened to be broken an oc
currence which no onn legrets more
than do the individual members of the
visiting team the Willamette ,sJuad
were a rough crowd. There is not a
college coach in the valley (including
Cooch Bailey of Albany College) who
hat not comrlimentcd the Willamette
teams on the ilcan, square games they
play. .
Therefore, as one interested in ano
enthusiastic over all branches of clean
thcltic snort, in all its branches, and
in the interest of fairness "and just
ness to visitors and strangers In our
midst, even though they be the vic
tors in our contests with them, I ask
for fair reports and correct state
ment in our papers.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT N.. M15JTON.

Manager Conrad Meyers, of the

high class circuit, formerly the Emp

dered his resignation to take effect
Dec. 31, or sooner if the club can fill

burn will engage in business for him
self after the first of the year.
The club voted to support the prop
osition advanced by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce to ask the
coming legislature for an appropria
tion of $25,000 a year for the next
two years for the purpose of adver
tising for tourist travel to Oregon.
Inasmuch as the travel benefita all
parts of the state it if thought that
the money should come from . the
state at large.
Other states in the west are doinar
the same thing and it ia up to Ore
gon to come to bat and pull for her
share. Less than 20 per cent of the
tourist travel of the United States
comes to Oregon and Washington.
These states, with California, which
include some of the world's greatest
scenery, should receive 75 per cent
of the travel -these days when war
in Europe makej travel to those coun
tries, impossible. -.i-- s.
British Columbia spends $125,000 of
