' Such a spirit is contemptible, to say the least. Eugene Guard. Corvallis football team dislikes Mr. McClanahan for no such reason. - If they did, the entire Eugene team would have their enmity, as there' was scarcely a man ot them - who was not - Mr. Mc- Olanahan's , superior; " McClanahan. in -curred the displeasure of the borne team by bis very discourteous and ungentle menly treatment of OAC's manager while be was in Albany recently attempting to arrange a practice game. It is to the credit of the Albany team that it disavow ' ed the acts of Mister McClanahan. Coach Fred Smith is fast rounding the ! basket ball team at the OAC into chain-1 pionship form. ' In a game played in the armory Tuesday evening between the champions of Oregon and the Varsity the ecore resulted in a tie. The champions were greatly weakened by the loss of Miss Nonie Smith, the star of last year's team, but the Varsity are nearly all novices. The game was spirited from start to finish and abounded with bril liant plays.; The first half resulted in a score of 8. to 6 in; favor of the Varsity, but the champions succeeded iu pulling even in the last half with a score of 10 te 10. The game scheduled for tomorrow between OAC and Albany college is off, owing to the fact that the Albany lassies ar suffering from vaccination,. A co-partnership existed between a democrat, a republican, a populist and a free silver republican.' One of the con tracts was that when a partner died each of the survivors was to deposit $100 in the. coffin to be buried with the deceased. The democrat died, first and after the re mains had beed prepared for burial the survivdrs met and the conditions of the agreement were discussed. -Said the re publican "I believe in a single gold stand ard and true to my principles, I placed five twenty dollar gold nieces in the coffin."

" On account of the difference in the legal weight of a bushel of oats Oregon gets a black eye in reports of the average yield per acre. ' In this state 36 pounds are required to make a bnshel, while in other states generally the standard is 32 pounds.

The aggregation of players who strug gle for gridiron honors for the OAC is a formidable one and capable of giving a good acconnt of itself.. This is the Con--' elusion one must arrive at after watching their work in the practice game With Uie heavy weights from Old Willam ette on the borne field-last Saturday. Willamette had defeated Albany, which takes itself quite seriously in the con test for championship honors,- by a score of 15 to 6, the preceding Saturday. Her players were' nearly all experienced men and it. was quite natural that with a week's practice they ' should . put up a fifty per cent, better game than they had at. Albany, but at no stage of the proceedings did they stand a ghost of show to win.- OAC was playing her first game of the season and her men were nervous, but so. excellent was her defense that WU - did not advance the. ball to "exceed 50 'yards during- they en tire game while the farmers showed what they could do on the aggressive by fore iog the ball the entire length of the field tbiee times. There were no tncks nor flukes; no ; grandstand individual plays on the part of the farmers, but good gteady football. It is true that the home team's play lacked ginger, but the char acter of their opponents .-was such' that snappy work was not needed. Thurs ton's brilliant, plunges at the finish of the last half, showed what the team is capable'of when occasion demands it, Belt's pretty dash around the end for 30 yards, and Hall's plunges were the only features to please the cranks in the first half, but the evenness of team work later on won their hearts for Stickney One touchdown and no goal was OAC's portion at the end of the first 20-minute half, while Salem contented herself with a goose egg and the satisfaction that the ball was in -OAC territory when time was called: ' The': second half added five more points to OAC's credit and the ball was within a foot of Salem's goal in the farmer's , posession on first down when the half ended; '. ing were also destroyed. .The loss; was between $3,000 aud $4,000) There jtud bo insurance.

The Herald believes that as the team which played Albany, Monday, "is composed of men almost equal .- te the regular ; U of O team . and has the advantage of many weeks hard practice tjlgainst the champions, they believe that they will be able to defeat the OAC team at Corvallis Saturday.

If I ask for., bread and you give me a stone, my confidence ia you may be shaken, but you are guilty of no offence. ' The point is here : If a persod obtain money from another by willful misrepresentation he has committed crime-by obtaining money under false pretenses. But no oral, eyidence of his guilt can be admitted by the court. The evidence of his guilt must be represented by a token j which in law,Js defined as a sign or symbol; and in tnis case-no writing was ' in -. -: evidence.

That is, if the defendants had delivered chittem J ba rk to Wilhelm & Sons which they Represented to be first-class chittem bark, ' but : which, proved ...-to be of inferior quality, there would be no case against .them.
