These Are the Battlecries for
College Teams Playing
Here Tomorrow

lamette.v Such slogans from two--re-
spective collegiate Institutions are but
an appetizer for the biggest football
games of the fall season available 20
local followers of the gridiron ovoid
which are scheduled for Willamette
field tomorrow afternoon.
AT one o'clock Salem high will clash
with the Eugene huskies as curtain
raiser for the battle which is to come.
When these two secondary schools have
settled scores, the bigger warhorses
will ramble out onto the field and set
tie the non.confcrenrc championship of
OREGON for the year 1916 A. d. And
weighing the dope sheet it will be a
strenuous game, win or lose for both
teams.
lege's hopes when score of 26 to Z
was run up recently and Mt. Angel was
treated to a mud sundae bath to
last Saturday. Pacific's echo of season
results sees a to O. victory over Che
mawa and a 1413-.defeat of Mt. Angel
two weeks ago. Such scores assure a
stiff hard fought game from blow to
blast of the referee 5 siren.
knowledge of the fact that Pacific
has $50 pound line has furnished
much food for thought both on the
part of Coach Mathews and the follow
ers of the cardinal and gold warriors.
Willamette s entire team tonnage in it.
self does not register over 100 pounds
and probably several pounds less. Lack
of beef will not specially hamper the
local varsity's chances though, for
sheer grit won from the University of
Oregon three years ago to la 6to 3
when outwei9hed 25 to 40 pounds to a
man.
Practices of the week have seen many
patches sewed on the line of defense
and Pacific will probably meet gar
iden wall which may embarrass their
uniforms when they try to scale it.
According to Coach Mathews practic-
/ ally the same lineup which faced Mt.
Angel last Saturday will be on the fir
ling line tomorrow afternoon. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if, Peterson will get
into the fray for the big husky is suf-
fering from Jobs trials at present.
Teall, Booth and Grosvenor are in poor
shape which will greatly diminish pros
poets of any easy victory. The flaming
Willamette 0, Pacific 0 posters which
were distributed promiscuously around
town Tuesday evening will have some
thing to say when it comes to the ag-
eressive fighting spirit, Of the men.
Who initiated the slam is unknown,
but its effect is good counter stim-
ulant to pep and industry on the team s
part.
If the liquid benedictions from .Jupe
Pluvius' sprinkler are not discontinued,
the field will be more than ankle deep
in mud. In all probability fumbles will
be numerous and may decide the game.
The light willamette backfield will
have difficulty in resorting to the old
style line playing for yardage. If the
same jinx which hovered on the field
last year at Forest Grove which laid out
three quarterbacks is not present, there
is no doubt that the contest will be
close Willamette always has defeated
Pacific in recent years, the score vary
inc from GIG in 1913 to so in 1909.
The Pacific team presents about the
same lineup as faced Willamette
year when the local varsity ran up a
l3 to score. Lucas and Irle of their
backfield are stars of no mean ability
as is also Parker. Two coaches have
been whipping their team into shape
this fall, so Willamette is facing a stiff
proposition.
Sam Dolan of o. A. G.. will referee
the game, w. A. Fenstermacher OF
Washington high school will umpire
and Rex Putnam of Salem high will be
head linesman.
Willamette's S lineup viii be Center,
Peterson; Flegel and Womer, guards;
Taylor. and Tobie, tackles; Rexford and
Ratcliffe, ends, and Booth. Grosvenorr,
Dimick and Bartlett IN the backfield.
