The whole booth is tastily arranged, and is an honor to the Indian school people. The above article is copied from the Portland Oregonian, and since it was written we can add that the school harness exhibit as well as the Literary Exhibit captured the first prize. That makes five blue ribbons which our harness department has won at the Oregon. State Fair during the past five years, and speaks well for Instructor Thompson and his apprentices who did the work. Chemawa is proud to keep to the front in its industrial and liter ary work, as is evidenced by the exhibition of work dis played at the State Fair. Foot Ball Notes. The football season opened last week when active, practice and hard earnest work began. The candidates have been training long enough to enable one to judge somewhat of their ability and all the new players have shown up well in their preliminary prac tice. Most of the work done during the week has been of rudimentary na'ture, such as passing and starting various plays, punt ing, .catching punts, tackling, and the ends running down the field on kicks. It is the ambition and desire of manager Brewer to put in the field the fastest and strongest team that has ever represented this school and as a result the following old players may be seen in in the daily line up: Sanders, Young, Neafus, Scott, La Flumboise, Williams, and Decker, The new candidates, who have shown pluck and speed may be mentioned: Smith and Frank Decker, of last year's second team, also Booth who so suceessf ully filled the position of fullback for the Pujallup team last season. Palmer, Chas. Decker, Bensell, Phillip Williams, and other promising players will he filling as soon as the busy season is over The first game of the season will be s played at Forest Grove with the Pacific Uni" versity. It will be an interesting game as Chemawa has not met them for several sea sons ; McFadden, 'varsity end at Stanford for the past two years is coaching the univer sity bovs and from the reports at hand we feel certain that they will resume their former position in the athletics sports of the northwest. The following is the shedule for the sea son, other games are being arranged as fast as satisfactory dates can be made. Pacific University Oct. 12 at Forest Grove Multnomah " 14 " Portland Oregon State University Oct. 20 at Eugene Multnomah Nov. 9 th. at Portland. Haskell is playing an important part not only solving the Indian Problem by literary and industrial education but also through the medium of athletic sports. We judge by her football schedule for the season of 1901 that she has come to stay on the gridiron, Among the big games which she has, can be seen the n imes of the following large institutions, Universities of Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. This is very encouraging to her western admirers. Carlisle seems to have started another successful football season. She has al ready downed and scalped the first team thut appears on her schedule for this sea son. We have no report as to the merits of the game but we judge that she must have playod a snappy game as it resulted in a score of 28-0 in her favor. From the latest gossip in the sporting world we learn that the Multnomah ag gregation of football playeis will be coach ed by Woodruff formerly of the University of Pennsylvania a.-si&ted by McMillian who has been coaching the Stanford team. The Uuversity of Oregon team will have many new players in her line-up this sea son and among the old veterans who will not be able to pny this season much to the disappointment of the partisans of ''Old Oregon" are Payne the fullback and Hale who played in the freshman team. Smith of California, ot herwise known as "Locomotive Smith' w ill coach the team.
