"Probablities"
By It 0. Hamilton
(I'niled I'rcss taf( correspondent)
New York, Oct. 1(1 There are throe
things which bIiiihI out tuilny nil prob

wheel in doping the eastern football

future opponents of the blue. And last,
Harvard begins to appear an n trouble
'maker since its game succeeded in mak
ing North Carolina do trick, and go
down to defeat.
Harvard ' victory by n scorn of 21
to 0 seems to be a certain indication
that I'crry linughton ia going to got
come speed out of Ilia eleven after all,
the dopsters are again giving the ('rnu
eoa a chance with Yale and Princeton.
The revival of the bull dog spirit at
Yule ban put a lot of pep into backer
of the New Haven team. Instead of

Princeton Perfect Fumblera
Down at Princeton Speedy Knsh ii
worried. About the beat thing the Ti
uera did in their conflict with Tuft
wna to fumble. Ther did it eonatnntly
and thut waa about the only consistent
part of their play. The line apnrkled
ut nomo singes and made it possible
for the Princeton gang to brenk
through niiil muss up the Tufts trick
formations. Hut fumiditig wus the one
thing the Tillers h:td been drilled ll-
Kiiiust and the fict that it was ao flu-
Kinnt, dul some things to Hush a plana.
With Percy llnutthtoli buck on the
job, llnrvni'd ia aiire to bo uiven some
stiff work. llnuKhtou'a hand allowed in
the North Carolina name. There is no
doubt that hia presence did much for
the Crimson in that contest and doubt
less it will do much for an eleven which
apparently has not been able to find
itself,
Cornell conches nre well satisfied
with the showing made against Wil
liams. A huge score was run up by the
Ithncans and now the men nre being
pointed for tbo clash with Uarvnrd.
Pennsylvania proved disappointing.
Swnrthinoio, considered a weak team,
by tho use of a finely developed for
ward pass, worked its way to a touch
down in the Philndelphin game. It will
be a'ninst this recurrence that Hob
I'olwell is going to drill hia men.
Taken from every angle, it ia made
easy for anyone to see that it is any-
body's championship yet, with no one;
linvliig a big edge, and with no tenmi
as yet weak enough to be considered
out.

Nebraska Will Play
Aggies in Portland
Porllaud, Ore., Oct. 111. Nebraska
meets tho Oregon Aggie here next Sat
urday in one of tho most important
football games of tho western season, A
crowd of 10,000 ia expected.
The corn buskers nre looming up big
for tho .Missouri Valley conference
ckumpiuiialiip, having defeated the Kan
sas Aggies 11 to 0 Inst week, while the
Oregon inns nre fresh ironi a 13 to 10
yictory over Washington State.
Under Conch Joo l'ipnl's guidance,
the Oregon Ajfgios hnvo improved vast
ly aince playing the Mulfiiomah Athletic
club. Nebraska, however, ia said by
critics to be somewhat weaker than last
season. Pi pa I will be sure to use Tuffy
Conn of Pnsndeun, and Anderson of
l.oug 11 each, Cab, in the big game. Their
quick footwork in following punts and
recovering fumbles waa largely respons
ible for Washington State's downfall.

Washington State College, Pullman,
Wash.. Oct. Hi. Oregon Agricultural
oo I lego emerged victor Saturday over
Washington state college in one of the
most terrific gridiron struggles ever
seen on Hogers field.
Tuffy Conn, Coach Pipnl'a brilliant
young half-back, drop-kicked the ball
squarely between tho uprights twice,
and Oill raced 20 yards for a touchdown
after picking up' lloone's fumble five
minutes after tho beginning of play.
Conn kicked goal.
Tho defeat was the first Conch Diet)!

gray fought to a finish, costly fumbles,
made early in tho game, made all hope
of overcoming the lead smaller as the

University of Oregon
Defeats Multnomah
I'niver.silv of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.,
Oct. 111. Tho husky Multnomah club
team, of Portland, could not withstand
the varsity Saturday afternoon and
were beaten 2S to 0.'
i Fumbling on the part of the varsity
proved costly time after time. Hut the
club men played too much of an indi
vidual game and the varsity's great line
was never in danger. Bettc team work
and better physical, condition spelled
the victory for the varsity. Had the
forward passing been a little more ac
curate and the men more sure in carry
ing the bull the wore would have gone
much higher.
Tint game was rough, but the work
of tho varsity was a disappointment.
They lacked the stenm and dash charac
teristic of former practice games this
season. Juhnny Bee Rett, captain, shift
ed from his old position at tackle to an
end position.
Parsons in Old-time Torm,
This was done in order to give him
a chance at carrying the ball. He was
given the ball once and plunged
through for a straight buck for 10-ynrd
gain. - .
Johnny Parsons made his debut in !
the Oregon colors for the first time in I
two yenrs. The doughty ex-enptnin I
managed to show his old form in find-!
nig holes aad made yardage every time
he waa given tho ball.
Shy Hurrtiugton was laid out early in
the game, but luckily continued to piny
until the last few minutes, when the
second-string men were sent outo the
field.
Thinks State Will Elect Three
Socialist Members of
. Next Congress
Fresno, Cnl., Oct. 16. Hope of elect
ing these socialists to the house of rep
resentatives from Oklahoma was ex
pressed today by Allan B- Benson, so
cialist candidate for president, when he
arrived preparatory to delivering an ad
dress here tonight. Benson declared he
is anxious to get into the campaign in
that state and will 8)end a week there
after he has concluded his campaign in
California, Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas.
Local socialists prepared for the big
gest night of their campaign when the
candidate appears on the platform to
night. Benson declared today that his coast
to coast trip has caused him to believe
that "the American people aro rapidly
inclining to draw issues where neither
Mr. Hughes nor the president has done
so.
"At the request of an audience in
Portlnnd, Ore., last Tuesday evening,"
he said, "I addressed a respectful tele
gram to Presideut Wilson asking him,
upon behalf of the Portland citizens,
to make public statement of the reasons
that moved him to sign the Hay-Chamberlain
army reorganization bill, which
contains n draft clause. I have not yet
observed that the president has made
such a statement. I do not expect Mr.
Wilson, however, to discuss the draft
law. If he were to do so that law would
imenidiutoly become the paramount is
sue of the campaign."
