WASHINGTON WON. BUT OAC PUT UP A GREAT DEFENSIVE GAME AND WINS REPUTATION.3S22 Blocked Spaidell'a Kicks Till he Wearied of Trying Them Anybody's Gime Uaiil Middle of Last Hlf " All About it. In a game brilliant, on both sides . for its defensive tactics, the OAC tootball team met with a reverse in a match with tbe University of Washington eleven on OAC field . Saturday afternoon. Nearly 800 people saw tbe two teams struggle for the mastery with honors even in the first half, w;th the contest anybody s game until the middle of the second half, and then saw the Washingtonian find a weak spot in the OAC line and by following up the advantage record a score' of five to naught against the O egon men. Through it was the first game 01 the season they siw the Oregon men in the be6t exhibition of block ing ever put up by a local team on OAC field. Had Walfrer been able to remain in tbe gameand'Abraham not have sustai' ed a muscle bruise whiih m ide it impossible f r him to e rry the ball or to put up the foimidable resistance that -is his ivonr,2 it is entirely possible that the game would have been ecore Ihss. Until after these accidents happened, and even for some time afterward, the Oregoa line htld against almost every onslaught, and progress for the Washiogton ians towards the Oregon : goal to any considerable extent was im possible. Blocked Spiedells Kicks Heavy and fierce as were the Washington meo.the evenly balan ced character of tha two aggrega tions under equal conditions wa patent as was finely illustrated throughout the first half. Within eight minuses after the half opened the Hall began to hover over Ore gon's 35 yard line, and until time was call-id at the end of tbe half it never got more that 10 yards 00 either side of the ' spot. In fact when the half closed it was on Ore gon's 35 yard line. At one titni Washington Ion it on that line on downs, Oregoa immediately lost it the 'same way. and then took it 5ack from Washington on the third down, the ball not having passed threa yards away from the line on either side daring the scrimmages. -" A piece of fine blocking on an at tempted place kick by Speidell was a play that elicitod ' much praise; When the ball was passed, Bowers and, William made a dash and while the latter downed the Wash ington half. Bowers broke through and blocked the ball just as it star ted for the O.egon goal. All ac counts are that the pigskin was headed squarely for the goal post, and that nothing but the splendid blocking prevenied tne Washington men ; trom points ecoriDg another fire What the Game Shots In a second attempt at a ': place kick, Bowers, Nash and Dunlap all went through the Washington liae and were ready to block, but in the pass the bail went over .Spiedell's head. The fate of the two attempts at place kicks discouraged the famous Washington kicker and though opportunities were . after? ward presented, no more attempts were made. Other performances by the Oregon men were the per sistence with which Spigle- from Oregon's right end. broke up for mations " in ; their inception, fine and fearless -tackling by Rinehart, fine resistance presen ted by Rampaugh on Oregoa's left end,i together with powerful aid rendered the line vby Nash and Root and the lattets fierce plunges with the ball. Both Williams and Bowers played in far better form than the best of their performance last'year and each ia certain to win for himself a brilliant reputation before the season , "ends. Probably a new star in the team is Dunlap at right guard. Several times he broke through the heavy Washing ton line, and at' all times he played with reckless energy. ; '; Though a lost game the result adds materially to the reputation of the Oregon players. They went against the team that was the stron gest aggregation in the northwest last year, and that has lost nothing in strength by tbe return of another year. They played without their captain one of the best players in the country, : and without Bundy their well known tackle, and yet maintained ashowing of equality with the ? WaehtngtonianB until game. The result ia that though I the score is against them, the Ore eon mon have added to their . pres tige as team, and have gained ex perience .that will serve them well through tbe rest of the season. HOW THE PLAY WENT OAC won the toss aDd chose to defeud the north goal. Speidell kicked to Duulap who advanced tbe ball to tbe forty yard line. Oa the first play Williams rounded left end for a 25 yard run. Oregon lost the ball on a fumble on Washing ton V45 yard line. Strauss round-d right end for a 30 yard rup, the longest of the game. By line bucks and short end runs, Washington worked the ball 25 yards and lost to Oregon on downs on the latter's 15 yard line. Williams quickly rounded left end for 10 yards . and Rojt added anothar five around light ed. Ball -nt to Washing ton on downs ani Strauss- rjunded end for five yards. Washington tried a fake p ay, wasfabout to lose the ball oa downs and Spei dell attempted place kick, which was blocked by B iwers. Ball went to Oregoa, and Williams clipped off five yards on left end and followed it up wnh hve arouud rignt. JNash and Root each bucked a yard, but b-;ll went to Washington on Ore gon's forty yard line. Washington's attempt to round end was blocked by Rumbaugb. .WALKER 1VEXI OUT. Washington pounded left iackle for no gains and Spagle downed an attempt on right end, and ball went to O;egon on downs on her 35 yard ine. Oregon triad three times without sufficient gains and the ball went to Washington on Oregou'd 35 yard hoe. Washington fumbled but Speidell saved the ball, and af ter trying the Hue for two. downs the ball went beck to Oregon, again 00 her 35 yard line- f The defensive work in these scrimmages was the pretti'st ever seen on O. A.;C. fields Root tried guards for no gains and Nash punted 35 yards and Wash ington was downed on the center of the- field. Strauss rounded left end for a 15 yard run and Lantz went around right end for five yards. Walker went out and Abrams went into the Oregon line at, left guard. Strauss went around left end . for five yards and -McElmon round right for, five yards. Two bucks failed to yield yardage, and Speidell attempted a place kick. In ' the pass, he'bill went oyer his head, with Bowers, Nash and Dunlap all through the Washington line ready to block. Ball went to Oregon on her 35 yard line, and time was call ed for the first half. WEAK SPOT IIT OREGON LINE. Id the second half Nash kicked off to Washington, defending the south goal, and the ball, was ad vanced to the 35 yard line. Wash ington began line 'plunges through ngbt tackle and- left guard . and worked the ball to Oregon's 45 yard line and lost to Williams on a fum ble.: Bowers went through the line for three yards, Root rounded 'end for two yards, and after line bucks the ball went to Washington on downs on her fifty' "yard line. Strauss plunged through' line for five yards and McElmon hurdled for four yards oyer. ,. ...With short line plunges Washington worked the bail . to Oregon rs 35 line, - and Oregon was penalized fifteen yards for piling . up after 'the ball was dead. Oregon held and got the ball on downs on her 15 yard line. Nash punfed to the -center of the field and Washington "ran' the ball back 15 yards. : - Washington made yardage, but was penalized for holding. Washington tried I two downs for no gains and Speidell punted from Washington's 45 yard line. Nash took the ball on Ore gon's ten yard line and was downed after advance of five yards. ; OVER THE GOAL LINE. The big gain by Washington in this punt from the 45, to .Oregon's 15 yard line was a turning point in the struggle in tbe last half. In the first three downs that followed Oregon made good her yardage, but in the next three flailed and lost the ball to Washington on'; downs. If in the last down Nash had . been permitted to punt, it is the prevail-! ing opinion that tbe - game would have been scoreless. Taking the ball on. the 25 yard line, Washing ton began a series of desperate plunges through the weak spot in Oregon's line, and Lantz finally went over for a touchdown.. Spied ell missed an easy goal. : ; 7 Nash kicked : off and ; Washing ton brought it back to the 35 yard line. Washington fumbled and Spa gle fell on the . ball. , Oregon tried for the line for no gains and' Na3h punted and Washington was down ed on her 30 yard line. . By furious line plunges Washington gradually worked the ball well down in Ore gon territory when time was called. , - For Sale. Grub oak wood. For particulars- in uire of E. B.

For several days there have been a num ber of Great Northern secret service men in Helena and .vicinity and it has developed that their mission is to try. and locate -the person who has sent the company a letter-levying blackmail. :j ; ': y-? .. Just when tbe letter was received by the Great , Northern, no one in authority will say, or who . it was addressed to, but it is . known that such a letter has been received. The letter was mailed at Cascade and it demanded the payment of $15,000. w The railroad : company was commanded to fly a signal if it acceeded to the demand and was given until Tuesday evening, Octo ber 20 to comply. If it did . not then the amount of tbe blackmail would be raised to $3o,ooo and to sh .w that business was meant, dy namite would be used on the rails. li stead of, displaying the signal, th" rail toad company has sent its d t rctives to Montana . to try and fei ret out the writer of the letter.

He then went 'to secure' his geese, ; and ; on his ramrod sticking1 in a tree hung 17 of the birds 'pierced through the-neck." ";He then brought his game safely to camp, and when he dressed the deer he found the brass button imbedded in his heart. If any one doubts this story he has tbe bras button to show. ' . , .

Lang-nage DifBcnltlea That Beaet tbe People Who Start Up Kew , a .1L. .'' Oolonlea. . -t. There is no question in South Africa of suppression of the' language of the people'.. The language of the .. Boer people of South Africa is a patois called Taal, based on the seventeenth century Holland Dutch, with a-mixture of. many strange words,, Kaffir and English, and with , the omission of most grammatical inflections.. - In. that happy tongue you are permitted to say "I is." It is needless tto say there is no literature in this patois, as there is in Hollander Dutch of this century. The official recognition of Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in the Cape Colony,' and is a result of a political propaganda of the Afrikan der Bund, says the PaH Mall Gazette. It was openly announced and hailed as the, "thin end of the wedge" to prevent th fusion of the Boer and British strains of the European people, and to drive the British into the tea. -. ' The: veld Boer does not 'understand Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hol lander outlander- only a degree less than the British outlander, or than the French, Italian, German or any other outlander. He .only hears the. Hol lander tongue, or, rather,,the seven-teenth-cemtury predecessor tot iti ia the'text- from tbe eerenteetlfc-century Dutch Bible read out in the churches on Sundays by the predikant, or in the hymns chanted, by: his fathers of the lpw. lands, who worsted Alva, prose cutor of the saints of the Lord. ...

At the present moment there, are none of the ; B)er leaders who - cannot speak , English; there are many, of. course, who will not.' After so many years- of active political propaganda of the Hollander' Dutch language," in the j-ear before the war in Pretoria there were only five per cent, of the cases in the. law courts between- non-English-speaking people. ." ..All business transactions were conducted in English; sales and mortgages of farms, sales of mining options, dealings in stocks and shares,: purchases in shops of imported goods,' sales in the market squares of agri cultural produce. Every Boer profes sional man, every Boer politician, had, as a necessity of life, to be acquainted with English. i : Prise for Uglleat Girl. ' From Germany comes a story - of novelty and charity.
