PORTLAND'S COLORS FAI

1t Is dead certain that the Reliance
team is strong enough to give rhe Butte
| team the hardest game, one week from
| to-day, that they have yet had. The
| BuJtes defeated the Porblands 16 to 4
The Reliance beat the Portlands last
| Saturday 40 to 4. Portland couldn't
score at all against Reliance, while
| they made a touchdown against Butte
Reliance made 40 points against Port
1and, while Butte only made l6 against
| Portland. The latter had LasswelI
when 1t played against Butte. but was
minus his services when playing
AGAINST Reliance. Butte had Jim
| Hooper in playing Portland, but will
not have him in playing Reliance.
| These points are sufficient to show tina
Reliance is mighty hard medicine and
Butte will have all 1T can do to hold
them down.
A dispatch to the San Francisco Ex-
arniner gives this account of the game
Portland. Nov. 2.-The Reliance
football team of Oakland defeated the
'MuBlncmahs to-day by score of 40 TO
0. The local team not only failed to
score, but so greatly was 1t outclassed
by the visitors ibhat IL was unable to
keep THE Reliance from making touch
down after touchdown. The explana-
ton of the onesided result lies in the
disparity in weights in the two teams
ana the lack of training and exper-
fence on the part of the home players
The Reliance boys put up one of the
cleaneSt games even seen in this CITY,
and before the Portland public entire
ly indicated themselves of the cha rye
of unclean playing made i'm San Fran
cisco.
Every one expected the MuTtnomahs
to lose, but no one thought the visitors
would pile up touchdowns the way they
did. Reliance had the ball practically
all the time, and made a series of rush
es through the line or plays around the
end until Wykoff surged forward
Through Multnomah's line and touched
the ball down behind the goal posts
Nothing could stop Wykoff, and he
parted the home teams right and left
apparently at will.
Jack Sherrard, ait the right end
made most of the gains for the visitors,
and when he took the ball around the
right end, with the splendid interfer-
ence of Burnett or Oliver he made
thirty or forty yards every time. He
was very hard to tackle. and when
THE Multonamah tackles tried to stop
him he shook them off and gained a
few yards more.
Captain Mcmillan played a strong
game, though Handicapped by bruises
received in the recent game with Berk-
ley, but that did not prevent him from
carrying the ball and ten or eleven
Multnomah men over tine line for the
prettie5t touchdown of the day. Frick
was very agile, and oliver, Burnett and
Han played a great game in line. 81
THE star game for the Multnomah's
was played by Fechheimer. He was
the only local player able to make
gains at all. The defensive playing
and tacl<ling OF Captain Mcdonnell and
Briggs bunting saved the local team
from a more humfllating defeat.
From here the Reliance team will go
to the Sound and thence to Butte,
where 1t is likely Ito meet the only re-
ally formidable competitor on it's trip.
Local bail players have made a special
effort to entertain the visitors, and
they appear to be having a very good
time"
