MUlTNOMAH TOO MANY
o. A. c. Boys 90 Down to Defeat Before
Husky Portland Lads.

Husky Portland Lads.
The local college football team
met their expected defeat at the
hands of the heavy Multnomah
team by score of Is too. From
the account in the Oregonian it
was Portland's game from the
start, although they gave their
a hard fight, the o. A.
c. team could not withstand the
fierce plunges of their opposing
team.
In speaking of the game the
Sunday Oregonian says:
"Never was there game play
ed on Multnomah field in which
there was less slugging. Every
play was clean and no one OBJ
jected to the decisions of the
officials. Both teams have risen
many pegs in their estimation of
each other since the game. The
faculty of the Agricultural COL
lege at first objected to yester-
days game, for fear of rough
handling at the hands of the
athletic club, but the play ers
themselves had no fault to- find
with Capt. McMillan's men, and
Multnomah, speaking through
Mcmillan, thinks it never had
cleaner playing visiting team.
Yesterdays game has done much
toward better feeling between
the colleges and the Multnomah
Club.''
The Corvallis team ali played
good ball. Vonderhollen, the
new right guard, showed up in
fine form and big things are ex-
pected of him before the close
of the season.
Nash and Williams played a
star game, Nash's punting being
a feature. Little Rinehart at
quarter, played his usual snappy
game, his tackling in Saturdays S
game won him much praise.
Our boys were handicapped by
about ten pounds per man, and
besides this, the field was cover
ed with sawdust-something they
are not acquainted with, thus
making it very bad for the Q. A.
c. team to play upon. But all
in all they put up a game worthy
of credit and the College as well
as Corvallis is justly proud OF
them.

The University of Nevada and
Stanford University teams play
ed a scoreless game last Saturday
on the latter's gridiron. This
means that the O. A. c. team
will be up against the real thing
when they meet the Nevada team
at Corvallis on Thanksgiving.
The University of Oregon
easily defeated the Albany Col
lege aggregation at the former
place, on Saturday, by score Of
22 to o. The outcome of the
game was big surprise to both
colleges as the U. of o. was sup.
posed to have a weak lineup,
while it was supposed that AL
bany had a strong team agair
this year. From the score O
Saturdays game. the 0. A. c,
team should not experience any
difficulty in defeating the Albany
lads on next Saturday.
| The football situation in Ore
gon is now fairly we'll defined
says Mondays Oregonian. Sat
urday's games have brought th'
question down to the point wher'
there is a single query-Eugen'
and Multnomah? ? Corvallis i
out of the running, and Albany
in spite of its strenuous efforts
was knocked completely off it
feet by Eugene. Pacific and Co
lumbia are about a stand-of AM
class with the best academic
teams, but cannot compete witt
the bigger elevens. Chemaw
is apparently not going to d
so much when Berkeley Cal
shove back the red men for q
points. And, though Willamette
proved its superiority over Mon
mouth and McMinnville, moth
ing threatening is expected from
that source. It is remarkabl
that so early in the season one O
two games will decide the cham
