OREGON CHARGES
j. OF W. WITH BAD
FOOTBALL Faith

ton game Of last year the big at
traction OF homecoming day, pay
ing Washington the $500 as was
agreed. Last December the game
for this year was scheduled to
be played in Seattle, the contract
continuing in force.
But during the latter part of
August, Graduate Manager Tif-
fanny received q telegram from
Coach Hunt of Washington, stat
ing that the Oregon game had
been cancelled. This was follow
ed by letter giving as the reason
for cancelling the game the war
conditions and Washington's
heavy schedule. Coach Hunt said
in his letter that, while the O>s-
gen game had been Cancelled, ar
rangements had been made to
play Oregon Agricultural college
in Seattle, November II.
1.-THE question of Washington's
refusing to pay its guarantee"
said Professor II. c. Howe, who,
with Mr.. Tiffany, is Oregon's rep
resentative at the conference
meeting, lis the principal point
which Oregon will bring up. The
other question. which it Is known
will be discussed and in which
Oregon is greatly interested, is
the freshman eligibility rule,
which Oregon Agricultural college
probably will try to have revoked
We cannot consent to revoking
the freshman rule"

EUGENE, Ore, Dec. 3.-What
promises to be the sensation OF
the Pacific Coast intercollegiate
conference meeting, starting in
Gan Francisco today, will be pre-
scented by the Oregon delegates,
who will urge that the conference
take steps to compel the Univer-
sity OF Washington to make good
its financial guarantee on the can
celed football game between the
two Institutions.
The University of Oregon,
which stands to lose some $3.50 as
q result of Washington's action in
cancelling the game which was
scheduled for November 10, will
fight the case to the last ditch,
and It is intimated that there Is a
possibility of carrying the matter
TO court.
Contract Two Years Old
The whole disagreement grows
out OF a contract signed between
the schools two years ago, in which
It was provided that two games
should be played. Oregon was
to name the place Of the 1916
game and guarantee to Washing
ton the sum of $1,000, while this
year the Northern institution was
to name the place of the game
and guarantee Oregon the same
amount.
Oregon fulfilled it's part of the
contract and made the Washing.

Doug Becomes
King But His
Reign Is Brief

Happy Douglas Fairbanks,
whose smile is a tonic and whose
boundless energy has made him
universal favorite, has lost none
of his snap and pep in his new est
film feature, Reaching for the
Moon" the Colonial attraction
this week.
The photoplay is a mixture of
comedy and melodrama,. seasoned
with a dash of philosophy. The
scenes are laid in America and
Italy and 1t is evident that the
elaborate settings cost plenty of
real money.
Reaching for the Moon" deals
with a young and ambitious but
ton-factory employe who studies
New Thought" and decides to
become king. He wins throne.
but 1t only too glad to lose It, and
return to dear old America.
The added attraction is Fatty

Roscie Arbuckle as the chief
laughmaker.

With most of the football teams
in. the west disbanding after
Thanksgiving, the 91st division
all-cantonment team Of Camp
Lewis, which is anxious to keep
on playing thru the winter, is hav-
ing hard time to get games.
Officials of the team have
burned the wires recently trying
to line up other cantonment and
army teams for games, but thus
far without success.
The Camp Custer team of Bat
tie Creek. Mich, cannot get per-
mission to come out west for a
game. Other teams are disband-
ing. The Multnomah A. C. team
cannot stage return game at
Portland because 1t has disband-
ed.
The Camp Lewis boys are now
hoping for some holiday games In
California, the trip having been
officially sanctioned, and will
leave in couple of weeks for the
sunny south il teams can be found
to play.

at the Hippodrome with ease.
Gene Knights six symphony girls

Monahan and Mcmahon were

American League Pitchers Say
Babe Ruth Was Longest Hitter

Who is the hardest hitter in
baseball today?
The question conjures the
names OF Gravy Cravath, Luz
derus, Cy Williams, Wally Pipp,
Bob Veach, Joe Jackson and other
kings in extra base land.
In the past 1t recalls the names
of Dan Brouthers Ed Delehanty
and recently Sam Crawford.
But II a number Of American
league pitchers are to be believed
the honor of 1917 rested with
none of these.
Eight out of 10 pitchers when
asked whom they considered the
longest hitter declared without
much hesitation in favor of Babe
Ruth.
"A bunt with that fellow is
double" one of them said. Every
time he is up there LwOnder how
many boards he will knock off the
fence"
I'm glad he isn't hitting regu-
larly," said another. HE is not
only the longest hitter in the
league, he is also one of the most
regular"
Ruth ordinarily doesn't get a
whole lot of credit as batsman
on account of his limited oppor-
ktunities and his batting fame be-
ting dimmed by his pitching bril-
lance, but the records show he
bats consistently around $3.50, AMI
that his extra base average Is
among the highest in the league.
Ruth plans to make capital of
the art of fence busting, too.
No one knows better than Babe
the frailties of a southpaw pitch
ling. arm. Realizing that the
length of service in the big league
for the average left-handed pitch
er Is somewhat short of 10 years,
Ruth plans to fool the jinx of
|left-handed pitchers and remain
in the big leagues long after his
effectiveness on the mound has
faded on the strength of his hit
ting.
Even II RUDE could not pitch,
many clubs would be glad to keep
him on the payroll as a pinch hit
ter.
