CORVA A AH Vol. XIX' Corvaxijs, Benton County, Oregon, Friday, NommEn 11, 190 A. 118 A JL JU COLtEGP iOTTINOS Item 3 of Interest In and the O. A. C. Around The Chapel was opened from 9 until 1 1 150 I uesday evening and election returns were an nounced to accommodate the students. There was a practice dance in the Armory last night. In football practice Tuesday evening, three toys of ihe firs team were hurt. They were Cooper, Walker and Pilkington The College walk was lined with girls watching the boys drill Tuesday afternoon. This hour is to make up the six hours drill a week that they are r-quir ea 10 nave uuner tne new rearu lations. It is needless to say that the girls enjoyed it more than the boys. A number of the football boys are going to Eugene to wit ness the Seattle-Eugene game on Saturday. The Cauthorn Hall boys are to give a reception to their friends this evening. All who are to at tend are anticipating a very pleasant time, as the Cauthorn Hall boys are noted as being royal entertainers. An excursion tiain is to bring a crowd of Eugene people to the game a week trom baturday There will probably be a large number from that place as sixty tickets have already been sold, and great interest is taken in the outcome of the game Nov. 19. There will also be excursions from Independence, Monmouth, and other West Side points. Floyd Williams and - Otto Simpson spent Sunday at Airlie. Miss Edna Buster, a former OAC student, was the guest of Corvalus friends the first of the week. Miss Buster is staying in Albany this winter. Miss Pearl Persinger, a student at OAC last year, is intending to teach this winter. She passed a successful examination in Cor vallis last week. Ctived as above Stated we had Very good reasons for supposing the statements made to be true for it is not denied that only men of experience and recognized ability ire (accepted as members of this team and that the one thing and the main thing in their being selected is that they shall play ball and sacrifice all things else. - It matters little what each of the players does as a side line, but lawyers, physicians, and artisans who are building up a business or maintaining one, ca i hardly afford to play football, without pay which of all things incapacitates a man for interest along other serious lines. Mr. Watkins admits having received a letter from Manager Stitnpson stating that "owing t i a resolution passed by the OAC Board of Regents, forbidding the college to arrange games with other than college teams. he did not think a game would be possible this season, although the players themselves would be glad to meet Multnomah." In view of the fact that Mr. Watkins has this letter in his possession and has koown that a game could not be arranged, it is difficult to understand why i-oruana papers win persist m abusing the OAC boys for not playing: Multnomah, when to do so would mean explusion from College.

The Gazette is in receipt of a personal communication from Manager Watkins of the Mult nomah A. A. Club Football team in reply to an article in the Ga zette of November 4, in which it was stated that the members of the M. A. A. C. team were pro fessionals and played ball for pay and that for this reason the Board of Regents of the Oregon Agri cultural College at their last ses sion passed a resolution denying the College football team the priv ilege of further contests with Mult nomah. We are pleased to acknowledge the receipt of this letter in which Mr. Watkins tells how the mem bers of his team are employed when not playing football and states that we have been misin formed regarding the team, that none of the players are profes sionals and that none receive pay. New as the letter was sent misul- taneously to the Evening Tele gram and published three days before we go to press, it is not any longer a matter of news to the public. We might have pub lished it in full had the proper course been pursued but at the present time we have not the space for it even if we thought it worth while to print it. In regard to the assertions in the article that appeared in the Gazette of November 4, to which Mr. Watkins takes excep tion we desire to state that the writer of that article was present in person at the last session of the Board of Regents of OAC and heard the matter discussed. If he was misinformed in regard to the facts he receives Mr. Wat kins communication J as a favor and considers himself corrected. Outside of the information re- Meeting of Fire Department. At the meeting of the Corvallis Fire Department, Monday night, the officers elected at a previous meeting were duly installed. They are President, J. F. Allen; secretary, Harold Woodcock; treasurer, J. A. Haiper; chief, J. K. Berry; asst. chief, E. R. Lake. The most important business laid before the Department was a proposition by W. D. DeVarney of the Independent telephone company to install a system of Fire Alarms for the city. His plan contemplates the adoption of a code of signals to De given in case of alarm, by the central office on the fire bell over the City Hall. A person having an Independent 'phone would simply need to ring up central and cry "fire." Central would immedi ately cause the big bell to ring out the signal which located the fire. Mr. De Varney proffered to institute such a system and keep the lines in perfect order for all time at actual cost of now establishing the system, which he believes will not exceed $150 and probably reach but $100. The members of the company are greatly in favor of the plan, and will ask the Council to authorize and adopt it. Should Council refuse to do so it is probable the Fire department will take hold of the matter. Mr. De Varney gave the fire company free telephone service and placed a 'phone in theii hall. In commentiag on football mat ters in our last issue, the sttte ment was made that the OAC man agement had written Albany offer ing her a football game for today. We received our information from a well-known business man. of the city who stated that Manager Stimpson had so informed him. Mr. Stimpson states, however, that he has sent no communication to Albany in regard to the matter. The vote on prohibition Tues day in Benton county shows that the four precincts in Corvallis polled 39.5 votes for, and 238 against the measure, a majority of 157 m favor of it. The eleven precincts outside of Corvallis cast 536 votes for and 426 against the measure, a maioritv of no in its favor, thus carrying the county for prohibition by a majority of 267. But five of the outside precincts voted for prohibition, Monroe, Alsea, Philomath, Soap Creek and Bellfountain. Since the prohibitionists polled but 123 votes in the county it appear, that of the 267 votes cast for county prohibition, 144 were from other parties. A further analysis of the vote - shows thai 137 men voted who tither did not care to express their choice or are wholly indinerent to al question of great moment. mm opening r FORCED SALE NOV. 7 NOV. 19 OSES BROS.
