Team Killed by a Falling Tree.
An exchange says that Sandow at last
has a rival, perhaps a peer. The name
of this modern Hercules is Sam Pinker
ton, and he comes from a great family of
Scotch athletes. His uncle, the famous
Donald Dinnie, surprised two continents
by his wonderful exhibitions of strength,
but Sam Pinkerton promises to eclipse
all his feats. He is larger in every way
than Sandow, and those who watched
his work are of the opinion that he can
discount rhe blond in any kind of a test
of strength.
Pinkerton is only 24 years old, but his
development is wonderful. He is built
in proportion, standing 6 feet 2 inches
high and weighing 227 pounds.
His
arms spread over ti*> 2 feet ot space. His
chest measurement is 44 inches, waist
35 inches, arm 161.» inches. forearm 15
inches, w rist 8 incites, thigh 24 k. inches,
calf 16 )'g inches, neck 18

muscular development ;s wonderful, the
muscles standing out in knots and large
bunches.
News from the State University at
Eugene, regarding the season’s athletic
sports, says:
A communication from the faculty
states that any student who wishes to
hold a position on any track, athletic,
baseball or football team of the univer
sity must maintain an average of 85 per
cent, in all of his studies. The regula
tions also say that a man must have
been a student of the university for
three months, and that all games and
contests must be approve« 1 by the facul
ty. With regard to football, the com
munication says that the football season
must close Decern I >er 1, and that the
coach must be of good moral character
and a college graduate.
