SPORTING NEWS MAGAZINE SECTION tt r THTETTEIGHTH TEAS. SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1915 PRICE TWO CENTS. ON TRAINS AND NW STANDS, Fiva CN. JO KNAL Sport News iHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OFF T FEET-SGORE 21 10 0 Matthew's Team Shows Vast Improvement Over Last Year's Early Season Tho Willamette varsity rushed the alumni off their feet lu the first half of yesterday's game and Bcored four touchdowns while the old grads were petting limbered up. The second half was a battle royal from the start and after the alumni rubbed the noses of their mascots during the rest period they held the varsity to a scoreless half. In the first quarter after the varsity received the kick they worked the ball down to the 15 yard line where Teall circled the end for 10 yards and Hend ricks bucked it over for a touchdown after nine and one-half minutes of play. Flegel converted it into a goal. Henrdicks opened up the, second quar ter with a 30 yara gain on a split buck, which placed the ball on the 10 yard line. Irvine then tried a quarter back run but failed on the 10 yard line. Irvine then tried a quarterback run but failed to gain and when tackled dropped the ball. The ball rolled through the goal posts and Willamette recovered. Flegel failed to kick goal but the vars ity netted six points in one minute of play. Three minutes later Archibald returned a punt 30 yards and Teall niado a 40 yard gain around the end for a touchdown and Flegel kicked goal. When there remained but one and one half minutes to play in this quarter Teall went around the alumni left end for 20 yards to touch and Flegel booted it over for a goal, ending tho scoring of the game and netting tho varsity 27 points. "Maggie," the black bear that mas eotted for the alumni, shambled out on the field while the men were resting between halves and looked over her co horts. The sight cheered the old war horses and they entered the second half with renewed pep. After a quarter of see-sawing back and forth in the center of the field in which an occasional bril liant run by Bishop for the alumni or Teall for the varsity brought the stands to their feet, the varsity was content to let the score rest as it stood. The subs were trotted out and all were given a ehauee to absorb a few of the bumps that the alumni men were dis tributing about the field. The varsity this year was a great surprise to many of we spectators and shows what careful coaching and fight will do for a team. The varsity that played yesterday in alumni game would score 10 touchdowns'in-a game on the varsity thnt played the alumni last year. The boys went t It hammer and tongs and for the early season all seem ed to be in excellent condition. They play with a vim and a snap that is bound to prove a stumbling block to the non-conference teams this year. The W. N. team is light and will be far outweighed by the conference colleges but at that they will put up a lively scrap. Teall at left half proved to be the bout ground gainer and the speed of the fleet footed lad enabled him to shnke off tacklers like a duck sheds water and 20 and 30 yard runs were not unusual for him. If he gets loose in any game he is a dangerous man for the opposition and will not stop short of the Bnfety full. Hendricks, a yearling from Bezdcck's uad, fills in nicely at full and ham nivred the alumni liim for substantial gains as well as being a good man with tlie forward pass. Archibald will de velop into a sure gniner on short snap ry bucks and is the one who calls the signals on square formations. The line with a few exceptions held against the alumni but the alumiit backs failed to develop the interference that will show in the conference ana arthough the alumni game never decides any cham pionships Coach Mathews appears to have instilled a vast amount of football knowledge and ginger Into the players in a short time which augurs well for the regular season when the finished I'rriduct is trotted out to line up against tl ' old rivals of Willamette. The first line-up: Varsity Teall, left half; Hendricks, ul); Clinton Archibald, right half; Irvine, quarter; K. Archibald, center; Orallop, left guard; fclegel, captain, left tackle; Tobie, right tackle; Pandnll, left 'nd; Miller, right end. Subs Stann, Proctor, Mann, Gleiaer, Bower, Harris, Rcptz Alumni Bishop, captain, left half; "grich, full; I.udlnm, right half; mall and Graham, quarters; Massey, 'enter; Tobie, left guard; Compton, "Klit guard; Carson, left tackle: Hinkle, rKht tackle; Hall, left end; Edwards, Tight end. The officials were; Bartlett, referee; Gates, umpire; Gillette, head lineman; Lloyd Hauser, field judge, and time eper.

Coach Clancy hag had his men out this week tackling the dummy, falling on the ball, and catching forward passes and a few other little stunts to work the kinks out of their limbs and to con dition them for the heavy, schedule ahead. ' Next week Clancy will line them up for their first scrimmage and the big scramble for positions on the first team will be in full swing. There will be keen competition this year for the jobs that have been held down by Keene, McClelland, Downie, Lowe, aud others of last year's squad who were the sub stantial ground gainers and helped to build up the enviable position in foot ball circles held by the . Salem high school. Of last year's squad Taylor, and Boatwright, guards, Williams at tackle Reed at end, I'roctor, fullback, and Badcliffe at half are all out iu suits and have already begun to shed their summer's stiffness and sunburn. Grov esnor who played quarter two years ago and Snrf a lineman of the same season have both appeared on the field and Robie Rndeliffe, a sub end of last year looks good to make a Btrong bid for the first squad. Haggedorn at half and Miqtie Miller, who short stopped for the baseball team this year, is hit ting the line for a better average than he hit the ball this summer. Alique, however, will probably be tried out at end as it is said that he seldom fum bles a man that comes within reach of him. English is a new man who is be ing groomed for the back field and Clark is a husky line man that may classify also. Gill who was put out early last year is out again for the squad and his size is a big asset in the line. The others are mostly new men who will develop as the season grows older and some may land a berth among the regulars even after the first games are played. STANDING OF THE TEAMS. National League. W.

The case of the state of Oregon vs. Ed Evans, charged with wilfully dis turbing the peace at a public gather ing, was tried in justice court at Ml verton Monday. It was alleged thnt Evans, with two other boys, went to a hop yard dance near Silverton a few nights ago and were ejected from the hall on account of ill conduct, and that they entered their automobile and charged through the crowd a few times and, navigated the machine up a hill backward. The companions of Evans entered a plea of guilty and were given a small fine each, but Evans plead not guilty and asked for a trial, at which he was acquitted and the case dismissed Mt.

The members of the Salem club are not worrying over the possibility of a like occurrence at Finzer. Lately quite a number of ladies have been on the links and it is hoped that they will come out in greater numbers and more often, to enjoy the game as golf is as much a game for the fair sect as it is for the other. Perhaps, as the tennis season draws to a close, a few may transfer their energy and en thusiasm from the court to tho course. A new idea has been sprung by Ed dy. The name of each player has been written on a detachable caul, ami arranged one above the other, in order of the handicap assigned, the higher the name, supposedly the better the player. Any one cnu challenge the one directly above him, climbing up or re maining stationary, as the result of the match may bo. The "ladder" as it is called, should be popular with the players. The club record for the round was aguin lowered, this time two strokes being chipped otf, though the round included an eight and a seven, it was completed in 48. The course is steadily improving, and with the cooler weather the sport is be ing enjoyed more and more. In many parts of the country the links will soon be deserted for the winter, but here tho game can woll be played the year round. Few cities enjoy the ad vantages of Salem. Woodburn Schools Open The Woodburn schools began bus iness for tho term last Monday with an enrollment of 325 pupils, which will shortly be increased as there are many who are waiting a few days before en tering. In the high school there were on the first day 26 more than last year and tho following day there wero 30 more. Altogether in the hijit school there arc 11 1 jmpils, 40 of whom come from out side districts and their tuition will be paid by the districts of the county not having high schools. The first day's enrollment was assigned as follows: East Bide Miss Cook," teacher, 1st and 2nd grades, 22 pup-fts; Miss Sims, 3rd and 4th, 24; Miss Irwin, Sth and Orh, 39; Mr. Leonhardt, principal, 7th and Sth, 44. Cooley School Miss Wilkins, teach er, 21 pupils. West side Miss Simpson, 1st and 2nd grades, 33 pupils; Miss Scollnrd, 3rd and 4th, 40; nigh school, Supt. J. H. Collins, Principal W. J. Mishler, C. It. Lantz on manual training, Miss Evelyn Conklin in domestic science, R. L. Pfaff and Miss Elwina E. Schram, instructors, 113 pupils. The high school department es pecially is crowded, but arrangements hnve been made to take care of all and also those who are to come. It is fully expected that there will be fully fifty pupils in the high school from outside districts. The county board will fix their tuition fee, which according to last year's statement, will be. 110.42 per pupil, this being the cost of educating each pupil, It can rendily be seen that with the new )40, 000 high school building in running or der this number of pupils from the outside will be greatly augmented and the cost of'constructing this building will be no additional burden to the taxpayers. Independent. Will Spend Winter In Oregon. Frank H. Bowers, the Indianapolis cartoonist, in company with his wife, arrived at the home of his brother, W. H., in the Waldo Hills a few dnys ago and will spend the winter rusticating on the ranch. They came all the way to Oregon in a Ford car and have some vivid scenes still in their minds of over land travel, especially through the al kali country. Silverton Appeal.

The Woodburn Commercial and Ag ricultural Association which has been the sponsor for the French Prnirie drainage proposition from its infancy is being rewarded for its efforts along that line and definite arrangements have been made fur a complete sur vey of the seventy-five square miles U fce drained. A government engi neer has been secured and will start the preliminary work next Monday aud two men from the district will assist him in the work, which will re quire about two mouths uceording to the estimates, The Woodburn association, in con junction with Luther J. Chapin, coun ty agriculturist, lias been working on this proposition for nearly a year and it is gratifying to know that they have brought the mutter so nenrly to com pletion and that success is assured. The district to be drained is now par tially under water during the winter months and a considerable part of it is almost too wet to snrm at any time of the yeur, but with a complete drain age system with its mains and later als, this water will be carried off and this section will blossom like a rose. The Oregon Agricultural College will also have men iu this district who will take samples of the soils fur analysis. The property owners of the district are wide awake to the possibilities of this section after drainage and are cooperating to the fullest extent with the promoters of the enterprise, and are displaying a decided willingness to help out by giving their time and efforts to bring about the early com pletion of the project. This proposition will not only be of benefit to the residents owning prop erty in this district, but will add ma terially to the wealth and productive ness of the county and to the prosper ity of all Independent.

On the City's Streets In Incrasing Numbers As you walk down the streets these days in almost any city it is no un common thing to hear someone exclaim " By fieorge, but ureu't there a lot of electrics being driven nowadeys. " Yet to those who have kept upnee with the advance in construction of electric automobiles it does not seem at all sur prising that more and more motorists arc turning to tho electric powered car as both tho prueticul and prefer able automobile. Iu 11 recent talk with Mr. W. C. An derson, president of the Anderson Elec tric Car company, builders of Detroit Electrics, he said, "to my mind there is very good logic in uie choice of an electric, car in preference to any other typo for all w eather, nil year,' family use. lu the first pluce, the electric ear possesses iu highest degree) ninny qualities which all gas car makers are I yet striving to attain. Take for in stance a smooth flow of power, (las car manufacturers are experimenting with 4, 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines 1 in an endeavor to produce a .smooth flow of power and to cut down the buttering nnd hammering that each ox- I plosion of gasoline gies to tho mech- 1 nnism. The Detroit Electric 's power flow is fnr smoother than it is possible , to ever attain in un internal combiis- j tion engine. I "Another reason," ho continued, 1 "is thut the wise motor enr buyers liave opened their eyi-s to the fact that the enclosed car is the most desirable all-year-round automobile. Now the I Detroit Electric is conceded to be 0110 of the finest type of enclosed cars thnt has yet been produced. We've spent nine years iu doing nothing but concen trating und specializing our nbility and our energies toward giving the public the best in an electric powered enclosed I automobile. The 1916 Detroit Electric is the best model we have ever built. I It is a beautifully, designed car, is I strong and sturdy, wnt carry its load farther on one charge than MS per cent of all motoring trips require, will climb steep hills, pull through heavy going, is always quiet, nlw.iys etenn, aud is so simple to operate and always so com pletely under control that every mem ber of the family can drive It with ex pert ease and absolute safety." Auto Climbs 0940 Fet Driving his Maxwell touring cur ami carrying more than 600 pounds, E. F. Clark of the Pacific Telephone Co,, successfully attained a height above sea level of 9910 feet, surmounting Ti oga Pass in the Sierra Ncvudas. This is believed to be the greatest elevation ever attained by a motor car. It was made iu a trip from Los Angeles to the Yosemite over a trail heretofore used only by wagon truffic. Iowa Market Booms Farm prosperity is already strongly in evidence in the automobile market. The Brown Motor Co., Maxwell dis tributors, sold 2,1 cars at retail from their space at the Iowa state fair, held at Des Moines recently.
