FOOTBALL TAKES
FAREWELL TODAY
LAST GAMES OF SEASON
ARE BEING PLAYED
Great Interest in Northwest Centers
I'm Portland and Seattle-Oregon
and Washington Both Favorites-
Pullman Meets Whitman.

With stomachs fulls of turkey and
plum pudding, thousands upon thou
sands Of good Americans will today
witness the close of the football
season from coast to coast Nearly
every university, college. high school
and club in the union has a Thanks
giving contest scheduled and, in al
most every case. 1t is the most import
| ant one of the season.
Here in the northwest, interest CEN
ters principally in the games at Port
land and Seattle, between the Uni
versity of Oregon and Multnomah
club and between Oregon agricultural
college and the University of Wash
ington. In these two games the state
universities are regarded as good fa-
vorites because of the splendid rec
ords they have made during the sea-
son. Neither team has been defeated
| and Oregon has not yet been scored
upon.
Oregon is expecting a hard game,
| however. Multnomah's line is heav-
Ter than Eugene's by several pounds.
Oregon is counting upon ability to
make a place kick to large extent,
yet Multnomah has three men to Ore
CONS one at that feature, for there are
Dudley Clark, Carl Wolff and Latour-
ette. Oregon's back field will be
weakened by the loss of its quarter,
Earle Latourette, and the men will
be disconnected by the uncertainty of
the judgment of Chandler or Cobb.
Latourette's knee, which was injured
in the o. A. G. game, is out of the
cast, but it is not yet strong enough
to allow him to go into the game.
oregon, however. will win upon her
speed and concerted team action, cou-
pied with her ability to outlast her
business opponents, There is a pre-
vailing opinion that Oregon will be
scored against in this game for the
first time this year, for it is thought
that a place kick will be secured by
the club men. Assistant Coach Cor
don Moores Of Oregon says the score
will be II to 8, while Coach Pink
ham says 10 to o. and Hunt places it
at the still closer figure of 6 to 8, all
Of course, in favor Of Oregon.
Washington Looks Good.
Washington's warriors are in splen-
did condition, and will enter today's
battle the strongest since the Whit
man game, at the first of the sea-
son. What Dobie has framed up for
this game cannot be ascertaned, for
he has been stickler this year to Sc
cret practices, allowing no one on the
field but his men.
For the past week light practice and
signal work has characterized the ma
neuvers of Dobie. He sees the need
of great speed for the game, and
wants to have his men IN the best
available shape for the struggle.
Captain Grimm wants to defeat the
southern rivals by a score even a small
margin over the score reached by the
University of Oregon over the Oregon
agricultural college and his hopes
should be realized because the home
grounds are in favor of the Evergreen
team and o. A. c. is not as desirous
Of defeating Washington as she was
to take Oregon's scalp and can not be
expected to fight as hard.
Practically the same team which
met the University of Oregon, on No
vember IL, will line up against the
Washingtonians, with the exception
Of shrimp" Reynolds, the midget
quarterback, who sustained three
broken ribs in the Oregon game.
Whitman VS.. Pullman.
There is considerable interest man
ifested too in the Pullman Whitman
game for the cellar championship
The records Of the two teams for the
past season are about the same with
the advantage slightly on the side of
the Missionaries.
