GOOD SEASON AT FOOTBALL
 IS EXPECTED

PORTLAND, Aug. 26.-Prospects are bright for one of the best foot, ball seasons the Pacific coast col leges have enjoyed for many years Last year proved to be fair season with the teams hardly yet recovered from the effects of the late war which has interfered in many ways with the gridiron game.
 Stars of the gridiron were absent from many of last years teams and some colleges found it difficult to of that the public did not take the interest in the popular winter pas, time that the game deserves.
 By the time the colleges resume activities this fall conditions should ~Nce more begin to take on more the normal standards they previously en- joyed.
 Interest on the coast will of course be centered on the games involved in the Pacific coast conference sched- ule, and in the various sectional contests will naturally be the pig factors of the competition. There is always more interest attached to an Oregon versus Washington contest or California versus Stanford game than there is to a California versus Oregon or Stanford versus Washing ton contest
 There are certain conditions and interests of rivalry that have been handed down from alumni to under graduates which attach themselves to these sectional clashes which are lacking when a team from the north meets one from the south.
 There is therefore more real feel ing displayed over a game between UJnivrsity of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural college or California and Stanford than there is in games be tween institutions that are several hundred miles apart.
 All members of the Pacific coast conference are placed on an equality and are given an even break at the beginning of the season by the con- ference rule which prohibits the start of a football training until a certain date. There are also cer- tain standards of study that have to be lived up to, which prevents the running in of ringers" on some of the teams
 The Oregon Aggies will have a new man at the head of athletics in R. B. Rutherford, who comes with a good reputation from an eastern in- :stitution. "Shy" Huntington, mentor of the famous Oregon eleven of last season will again be in charge of the 1emon-yellow pigskin chasers at the University of Oregon
 Stanford has new coach, Walter Powell, who comes to the Palo Alto institution with a big eastern reputa- tion. Andy Smith will again head the gridders at the University of Cal ifornia, and he will have four assis- tants, the largest coaching staff of any college on the coast
 Six colleges compose the coast con- ference and the games played be- tween this "big six will decide the coast championship. In the north west Oregon, Washington, Oregon Agricultural college and Washington State college are the conference col leges, while in the south California and Stanford are the only two mem bers.
 The first call for football practice at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club will soon be sounded according to Harry DOrman, chairman of grid. iron activities, who states that pros. poets for a winning team at the club this year are very bright.
 The local club team, according to Dorman, will be composed of younger players than have represented the club in the past and should develop into a fast machine. Many of the players will be graduates of coast col Iege elevens-he expects to have five from the two Oregon institutions.
 Three tentative games have been scheduled for the Winged M. team, one with the Oregon Agricultural college, one with Washington State college and one with the Olympic club 0f San Francisco.
