12 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 23, 1902, FARMERS MEET SURPRISE SCORE BUT 21 AGAINST WILLAM ETTE CXIVERSITY. Had Beaten Methodist in Former Ga'rac, G7 to O Nash, for Corvallls, Receives Severe Injury. SALEM, Nov. 22. (Special.) By a score f 21 to 0 the Oregon Agricultural College eleven today defeated the "Willamette Uni versity team In an unexpectedly Interest ing game of football. The game was played on the university campus In this -city, and was witnessed by a considerable number of local and Corvallls College peo ple. The game was a return contest be 'tsfeen the two teams, the first conflict at Corvallls on October 18, resulting in a de cisive victory for the "farmers" by a score of 67 to 0. Today's game was a sur prise to both the victors and the local en thusiasts. The score indicates the re markable improvement -that has taken place in the Salem University eleven. The first half of the contest today was of Intense interest, the home team pre venting the more weighty and experienced Corvallls players from making more than a single touchdown and a goal. The first half closed with the score as follows: O. A. C. 6; W. U., 0. In the second half the visitors by fierce and repeated line-bucking made yardage almost at its pleasure, and before time was called succeeded In making three additional touchdowns, but failed to make the goals. The final score was 21 to 0 in favor of Corvallls. Because of an injured limb. Captain Gualt did not play at guard, and this is said to have weakened the team. The Corvallls team also admits that It was saving all extra exertion for an expected game with Albany College, to be played in the near future. For Corvallls, Nash, at half, and Pilkington, at full, were the stars, never failing to net substantial gains when the pigskin was entrusted to them. The team organization of the visit ors was superior to the Salem eleven.

A- C. eleven, played at half in today's game, and not only distinguished himself in that position, but did clever tackling. Miller, captain of the Salem team, played a good game, and was prom inent for the way in which he tackled. Costly fumbles on two occasions defeated "Willamette's only chance to score. Fum bles were repeatedly made by b'oth teams. but Corvallls invariably recovered the bain and made good gains at the same time. Albany College, having defeated "Willam ette by a score of 27 to 0, the result of today's contest. adds Increased interest In the game to be played between the Al bany and Corvallls teams.

UNIVERSITY OF "WASHINGTON, SE ATTLE, Nov. 22. (Special.) Thanksgiv ing day the University of "Washington and the Pullman Agricultural College football .teams will meet in their annual contest on the gridiron of the Athletic Park grounds. This game decides the cham pionship of the Pacific Northwest, and both teams are confident of. securing the pennant. It Is expected that the Pull man supporters will charter a special train and- bring 500 students and friends to yell for their team on Thursday. Washington's intercollegiate record up to the present date Is as follows: Oregon Agricultural College 6, University of Washington 16; University of Idaho 0, University of Washington 10; Whitman College 5, University of Washington 11. The scores made by the Agricultural College point to a rather varied career. Lewlston Normal won from her by a score of 12 to 0, Pacific University was the victor by 6 to 5, University of Idaho lost one gajne to Pullman 17 to 0, and then won three weeks later 16 to 0, and Whitman College was defeated by the close score of 6 to 5. Whatever these scores indicate. Wild Bill Allen, coach of the Pullman team, ridicules the idea that the University of Washington lias a shadow of a chance to win next Thurs day. The weakest point in the university team is the position at right halfback. Alfred Strauss has turned in his suit, and will not be found on the gridiron again this Fall. The most prospective candi dates for the vacant position are: Van Kuran, Wilt and Pullen. All three men have been working hard, and will make strong efforts for that place Thursday. Van Kuran is a steady player and a good ground-gainer. Wilt is also generally good for several yards whenever his sig- ..1 I T)mIUH l 111.1., youngest of the men that have turned out, and, although he is rather awkward in his movements at times, still he is al ways In the game from start to finish. The other positions on the team from present indica'tlons will remain the same as in the line-up last Saturday in the game against the Multnomah Athletic Club. 'VARSITY MEN SURPRISED. Victory Over Pnclfle Showed Men in Splendid Form. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Nov. 22. (Special.) Yesterday ended the collegiate football season at Eugene. The result of 'thft game with Pacific Uni versity was far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the supporters of the 'varsity. The individual playing was par ticularly strong and the team work showed wonderful improvement during the past week. Thayer and Kerron are proving them selves to be two of the best men that the 'varsity has ever had In her line. The ends, Jordan and Chandler, put up strong games ana m every case did what was expected of them. Templeton and Good rich, showed up In their usual form, but owing to a bruised muscle In his leg, Templeton did poor work at kicking goals. Hale, who played a fullback, showed be yond a doubt that his line bucking was not to be underestimated as his plunges were all hard and safe. The men are all In good shape from the game and the injuries are very slight. Murphy came out without a scratch, but Thayer was slightly jolted and gave place to Earl in the second half, although he could easily have played on. Payne did not get into the game on account of weak back. The 'varsity team took the hall for ad vances against the Pacific eleven 127 times with an average of a little over 9 3-10 yards for each attempt She fumbled five times, losing the ball twice. The Pacific team got the ball three times, of these, once from a. kick-off and twice from fumbles. She not once gained her-yardage and In each case kicked to avoid los ing the ball on the spot The visitors played the nerviest and grittiest game ever put up against a team of superior weight and longer experience. Millis and Barnett were both knocked out during the game, but each showed Indi vidual courage. The players from PaclflcUnIversity took their defeat like gentlemen, and .yelled lustily for Oregon when the game was over. ISSUES COUNTER CHALLE NGE. Albany Anxious to Piny Corvallls on ' Home Gronnd. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) Man ager James Thomson, of the Albany Col lege football team, has issued a challenge to Manager Johnson, of the O. A. C. team for a game to be played in thlscity on Saturday, December 6, or any other date before December 25. Another challenge 'was received from Manager Johnson today, as published in The Oregonian. Corvallls insists on nam ing the entire terms of the game, but Al bany will never consent to this unsports manliko treatment. If the Corvallls team accepts Manager Thomson's challenge, the managers of the two teams will meet soon thereafter to arrange terms satis factory to the teams. The Albany team is hard at work, getting In condition for approaching games. If the game Is ar ranged with the O. A. C, the local col legians are confident of a decisive victory. Templeton, who received slight injuries WILLIAM C. WHITNEY WILL ENTER ACEFUL Aceful Is the horse which William C. Whitney has entered In the London derby, and which, if it wins, will decide the strife for European supremacy between the great American horsemen, Whitney and the Keenes, sire and son. Both families horsemen may, explanatorily, be classed as families have the best of their stock in training, and no expense is spared to get the possible winner In condition. Aceful is picked as Whitney's best, and he is considered far superior Jn trim, speed and endurance to the Whitney & Duryea's Irish Lad" which lost in the East this year. Aceful will not be an easy winner, from present indications, for the Keenes are reinforcing their stables and they will place a horse against him that will make him prove his mettle. in the U. of O. game, has recovered, and will be in the game. Snyder, the regular quarter-back, will be at his position. Tho game will be one of the most notable ever played in Oregon, as tho rivalry between the two teams is very great. M'MINNVILLE, 12; MONMOUTH, O. Game Was a Hard-Fought Contest From Beginning? to End. M'MINNVILLE, Nov. 22. (Special.) McMlnnville College won the "football game this afternoon with the Monmouth Normal School by a score of 12 to 0. It was a hard-bought contest from beginning to end.

DEFEATS 'VARSITY SECOND. Engrcnc High School Scores G to Scrub Eleven's 5. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, Nov. 22. (Special.) The Eugene High School won over the second eleven of the. university here this afternoon by a score of 6 to 5. Both teams played hard ball, and the honors were about equally divid ed. As a team the High School' men played the more consecutive ball, and several times hit their opponents' line for good gains. The second eleven was the heavier team, and its gains were due as much to weight as to team work. It is believed here that the High School has one of the strongest. If not the strong est, scholastic teams in the state. The Portland Academy has declined to meet the Eugene High School team, and the High School now claims the inter-s-cholastic championship for the state. Yesterday's Minor Football Games.

The lighting of railway trains by oil gas has-been notably improved by the admix ture with the gas of a certain proportlqn of acetylene. This idea was first employe'd on the Prussian state railways, where It was found that the mixed gases gave a far superior light to that of the oil gas alone. In France this system has been taken up by the Parls-Lyons-Mediterran-ean Railway, and a generating plant is being installed adjoining that already In use for the production of oil gas. Tho gen erator Is of the Plntsch system, in which the carbide is dropped into a large volumo of water. The apparatus consists of a cylindrical vessel of galvanized Iron filled to about three-quarters,of its height with water, the top being closed and carrying a castiron chest containing the mechan ism for feeding the carbide. This chest contains two compartments, each holding about two kilograms of carbide, and ar ranged in such a manner that either. of them may be placed in communication with the main cylinder wlthout"permltting" the escape of gas. The acetylene gas, dis engaged by the contact of the carbide with the water, is led off through a later al pipe connecting with the mains. The oil gas and the acetylene are passed through respective meters, these being connected by chain gear, 'the sprocket wheels being so arranged that the mix ture of the gases Is made by the ratio of three of oil gas to one of acetylene.

One of the surprises furnished the crit ics by George Ade when his merry satire, "The Sultan of Sulu," was produced in Chicago, was his ability to write real fun in verse as well as in prose. Mr. Ada's admirers had not suspected that the writ er of the "Artie" stories had aught to poesy and rhyme In his versatile brain. His rhymes range from burlesque nursery doggerel to ambitious descriptive verse. Out of the 25 musical numbers at least a dozen were decided hits. -The first to score was the comical duet between coquettish Gertrude Quinlan, as Chlqulta, the Filipino soubrette, and Fred Frear, as Hadji, the Sultan's secretary. Chlqulta bemoans her fate as one of the closely guarded wives of His Sulu High ness and Hadji consoles her with the as surance of the, love of her lord and mas ter. This song runs: "EVERT ANIMAL IN THE ZOO." Hadji: The yak and the gnu FOR THE DERBY. And the Jumping kangaroo, And the hippopotamus And. the fox and tho lynx. And the 'possums and the minks. Are afflicted Just, like us. . " Chlqulta: No doubt you have heard Of the dicky bird. And his suicidal end. "While it'a known a giraffe "Will very seldom laugh "When he's lost his lady friend. With few exceptions, Mr. Ade's lyrics are satires of our social, political or military institutions, sugar-coated in rhyme and melody. Soldiers are intro duced and Templar Saxe, as Lieutenant Hardy, explains the object of Uncle Sam's expedition to the Island as follows: "HIKE." We haven't the appearance, goodness knows. or plain commercial men, From a hasty glance you might suppose TVs are fractions now and then. But though we come In warllko guise And battle-front arrayed. It's all a business enterprise, "We're "seeking foreign trade. We want to assimilate, if we can, Our brother who Is brown, "We love our dusky fellow-man And we hate to hunt him down. So when we perforate his frame "We want him to be good. We shoot at him to make him tame If he but understood. , Four interesting school ma'ams from Boston accompany the expedition to Sulu and announce the object of their long journey as follows: , Prom the land of the cerebellum. Where clubs abound and books are plenty, vvnere people Know before you tell 'em As much as any one knows. We come to teach this new possession All that's known to a girl of twenty; And such, a girl, it's our impression. Knows more than you might suppose. K Come away! Come away I When the school-bell rings "We'll teaoh you many useful things. If you love teacher, fond and true. Perhaps you'll teach tho peachy Teacher to love you. After the Sultan has agreed to be as similated by Uncle Sam the polygamous potentato displays his sense of humor in a descriptive song of his native land as ioiiows: We ha'e no daily papers To tell of Newport capers. No proud four hundred to look down on ordinary folk. We have no stocks and tickers. No Scotch Imported liquors. uo start us on the downward path and some day land us broke. "We've not a single college, Where youth may get a knowledge Of chorus girls and cigarettes and poker ana tne like. No janitors to sass us, . No bellboys to harass us, And we've never known the pleasure of hard coal miners' strike. We have no prizefight sluggers, ' No vaudevlllian muggers, No one of ua has ever shot the chutes or looped the loop: No cable cars or trolleys. No life Insurance Jollies, No bank cashiers to take our money 'ere they fly the coop. No bookies and no races No seaside Summer places Where fierce chauffeurs may murder one with autos brought from France. No dramas of society, chuck full of Impro priety. No flippy-floppy young soubrettes "With a sister song and dance. vhen KI-Ram, the Sultan (Frank Moulan), is Informed that he must pre pare for the reception following his In auguration as Governor, it falls to the lot of -Colonel Budd (Robert Lett) and Wakefield Jones (Charles Glblyn). a com' mercial traveler, to explain the nature of an American reception. They tell him the entlrejpopulatlon files by and he must shake hands and pretend to be happy until all are out of hearing. They call the song, "Oh, what a bump!" and the idea Is explained In the following: At a muslcalo a Ave o'clock. Or a social Jamboree, 'Tls there the ewagger people flock For a blteNand'a sip of tea. And this Is what you'll hear: "It's been a charming afternoon, TJellghted, don't you know? Sorry I have to leave so soon, But really I must ko." But after she's away In her coupe What does this self same, woman say? "That was the tackiest time I've had In twenty years or more. The crowd was Jay and the tea was bad And, the whole affair a bore." CHORUS. Oh, what a bump! Alackadayt 'Twould darken her whole carer. Could the hostess know what people; say "When she's not there to hear. The courtship duet between Henrietta, the American girl (Maude Lilian Berrl), and Lieutenant Hardy (Templar Saxe) gives Mr. Ade an opportunity to satirize the engagement period in his own inimi table style. Lieut: Sweetheart, doubt my love no more, Believe me, I'm sincere; I love no other on this tropic shore, You're the only one that's here. Hon.: Lieutenant, I cannot withstand A man who pleads like vou. So here's the promise of my hand. At least for a month or two. I Marrlago Is a doubtful state. I think of It with dread. Still an engagement "heed not Indicate That we really mean to wed. Lieut.: Henrietta, you are quite correct; I have been engaged before. Frankly, I'll tell you, also, I expect That I'll be engaged some more! Mr. Ade displays his versatility in an out and out "coon song" for Chiquita, and Miss Quinlan has made it one of the distinct hits of the production, Kit tell3 the story of a Sulu belle, and runs as fol lows: "IY SULU LULU LOO. In Sulu once there lived a belle Whose winning ways had cast a spell Upon a chief of great renown He was smitten sore. He followed her both night and day. Ho tried to take this girl away And underneath her window he Repeated o'er and o'er CHORUS. Lulu, you're my Sulu, Lulu, loo. Lulu, do take pity on me, db! I want no one else-ut you! i Lulu, you're my Sulu, Lulu, loo! It's a long stride from "coon song" to stirring patriotic verse, but the author makes the leap In this stirring flag song Your flag and my flag. And bow it flies today, In your land and my land And half a world away. Rose -red and blood red, Tha stripes forever gleam. Snow white and soul whito The good forefathers' dream. Sky blue and true blue, with stars to shine . a right The gloried guidon of the day, a shelter through tho night. The other lyrics include topical songs, quaint burlesques, dainty waltz rhythms. inspiring marches In fact the entire rep ertory of comic opera possibilities is treat ed with masterly skill, the reputation or the humorist as a lyric writer being firmly established with his first venture. Alfred G. Walthall wrote the music. KI-Ram, the Sultan of Sulu, is a real character that Mr. Ade, tha Artist Mc Cutcheon and other American war cor respondents met, studied and sketched from life on his own native Sulu soil. The stories told in 'Manila of the ja&xxy old potentate suggested to Mr. Ade the scheme of malting him the center figure in a musical satire dealing with the In troduction of American divorce laws and the American cocktail Into his primitive tropical paradise. Briefly, the story of the "Sultan of Su lu" Is as follows: KI-Ram has recently Invaded the territory of ono of his tribu tary chieftains, or "dattos," and captured the eight beautiful .nieces of the "datto," whom he has added to hio family of wives. The infuriated "datto" has declared war upon his Sultan and threatens to invade his territory, when a shipload of United .States marines, commercial travelers and soldiers, neaaea Dy jeuerson xuuu, u.u. "Arkansaw" politician, and commanded by Lieutenant Hardy, U. B. A., appears in the harbor of Sulu. Accompanying this expedition Is a delegation of Boston school ma'ams chaperoned by a stern-vlsaged spinster, Pamela Jackson. They are re ceived with open arms by KI-Ram. Colonel Budd proceeds to Initiate the willing mon arch into tho uses of the American cock tail, td the influences of which he falls a hilarious victim. While KI-Ram is saturating himself with cocktails, the education of his wives in the art of flirting with Uncle Sam's ma rines Is progressing gayly under the tute lage of the Boston schoolteachers. In spired by too frequent potations of the beverage to which he has just been intro duced, Ki-Ram proposes marriage to the indignant Pamela Jackson. For the insult of this polygamous proposal. Miss Jack son, by way of revenge, Inspires all Ki Ram's wives to seek divorce, which, In her capacity of Judge-Advocate, she grants, allowing each wife one-half the Sultan's Income in alimony. The wretched hus band is unable to pay and Is cast into jail. Novel complications make things merry for everybody but the Sultan. The unhappy monarch Is, however, released In the last act, when everything is straight ened out satisfactorily, and KI-Ram, his guests, his court and his wives'llve happy ever after in the customary comic opera way. WHY THE DEAD SEA IS DEAD Conditions That Exist in This Storied Body of Water. Chicago Record-Herald. Scientific observation justifies the esti mate that a dally average of 6,500,000 tons of water Is received into the Dead Sea from the Jordan and other sources during the year. During the rainy season the amount is very much greater; during the dry season it Is, of course, very" much less, but this average will be maintained year after year. There is no outlet, and the level is kept down by evaporation only, which is very rapid because of the intense heat, the dry atmosphere and the dry winds which are constantly blowing down the gorges between the mountains. This evaporation causes a haze or mist to hang over tho lake at all times, and, when it Is more, rapid than usual, heavy clouds form and thunderstorms sometimes rage with great violence in the pocket be tween the cliffs, even in tho dry season. A flood of rain often falls upon the sur face of the sea when the sun is shining and the atmosphere is as dry as a bone half a mile from the shore. The mountains around the Dead Sea are rarely seen with distinctness because of this haze. The waters of the Jordan, when they reach the sea, are as brown as the earth through which they flow a thick solution of mud but the Instant they mingle with the salt water- of the lake the particles of sell are precipitated and they become as. clear aa crystal, with an Intensely green tint. Carrying so much soil and having so swift current, one would suppose that the sea would be "discolored for a con siderable distance, but it Is not so. The discoloration is remarkably slight. The Jordan has quite a delta at Its mouth, breaking into a number of streams and frequently changing Its course because of the obstructions brought down by its own current.
