It is not know n at present w hat effect th e coal

but it is understood th a t th e m iners are holding back
on account of so m any union m iners in the vicinity.

rendered the W illam ette victory possible. M uch e n ­
thusiasm was show n by adherents of both schools aud
the proper spirit exhibited th ro u g h o u t the contest. It
was a clean gam e and the best team won.
