FOOTBALL GAME FOR CITY
CHAMPIONSHIP TOMORROW
Albany High School and Albany
College Will Battle at
Athletic Park.
What should in many ways be the
most interesting game of the vear to
local football fans will be the contest
between the Albany High school and
Albany College tomorrow at 3:45.
3.45 p. m.
This is the first time for several
years that the college has had a foot
ball team and they have a strong ag
gregation. This will be the first an
nual game between the high school
and the college for the city champion
ship and it will be hotly contested
as both teams are out to win. The
college is anxious to prove that they
are a little better class man tne nign
school and they have made several ar
rangements of the players with the
view to strengthening their team. The
college line up will contain several
old high school players and a number
of college men who are particularly
stronir ulavers.
The high school still has a chance
at the Willamette valley champion
shi and it will be up to the high
school boys to prove that they have
championship stuff in them if they
want to get an undisputed title. Thev
should win every game that they play
from now till the end of the year.
The two teams are evenly matched
strength as they have practiced
against, each other with the college
coming out best and sometimes the
high school. Itlcsdays game is to
decide which is the best team. This
will also be the first chance to see
the college team in action here. Ev
erybody is urged to come and see this
game for the city championship. Ad
mission 25 cents. Students 15 cents.

Declines to Accept Nomination

Event of Election.
PETITION IS WITHDRAWN
FROM RECORDER'S OFFICE
L. M. Curl Issues Formal State'
ment Giving Views on Ques
tions of Public Interest.
That Fred P. Nutting will not be a
candidate for the office of mayor or
accept the office in the event of his
election, became known late this af-
ternon when he formally withdrew his
petition from the office of city re
corder Van Tassel.
Mr. Nutting was never in the prop
er sense of the word a candidate for
the office. His friends circulated
his petition and placed him in nom
ination and had it not been for the
strong pressure brought to "bear, he
would have declined the honor sev
eral days ago.

clearly sets forth his views on ques
tions of interest to the voters, was
given out to the Democrat by L. M
Curl this morning:

HUERTA HAS NOT DEFIED
WASHINGTON SAYS WILSON
President Harbors Only Faint
Hope of Elimination of Huerta
by Diplomatic Methods.
(By United Press Associatiou)
Washington, Nov. 10. Huerta has
not defied the administration and the
government at Washington has not fi
nally closed the door to the Huerta
government. Nor has it thrown the
door open to Carranza, the rebel lead
er. This was made plain at the exe
cutive offices today. As far as the
United States is concerned, no new
Mexican policy has been adopted, it
was slated. The gravity of the situ
ation is recognized but the president
says that lie still harbors a faint hope
that diplomatic pressure may bring the
dictator to terms. The newspaper cor
respondents to whom the president
gave a weekly reception, learned defi
nitely from him that he is not prepar
ing a message to congress recommend
ing the recognition of the rebels. Nei
ther has Liiid made his final report.
The president, it is announced docs
not intend to submit the situation to
congress for at least a week.
