THE CALIFORNIA GAME
Oregon Agrics at Berkeley
What Frisco Papers say
About Them,
tween OAC and U. of O. occurs at
Eugene a week from next Saturday.
An excursion train is to run from
Corvallis, leaving in the morning
and returning after the game, with
a low rate for the round trip
Speaking of the game, the Oregon-
lan says in Monday s ls-ue:
Whatever the outcome of the
Willamette Oregon game may be
the big game of the year among the
colleges of Oregon is the annual
struggle between the University of
Oregon and Oregon Agricultural
College. For tbe past triree years
visit in J tn's annual contest has been grow
ing in popularity, until it now riv
als the Stanford-Berkeley game.
It has been suggested that the Ore-gon-Corvallis
game be played on
Multnomah fitld. this year, and the
suggestion seems timely, for tbe
game i coming to be a great draw
ing card, and if played in this city
would prove a great money-maker.
Tbis ytar's game however will be
played on Kincaid field , Eugene, on
Saturday, November 1 ith, and from
the interest already manifested,.
there will be a record, breaking at
tendance. The Corvallis people
will run a special train to Eugene
on the day of the game, and Steck-
le's players will have the support of
400 well-trained rooters, headed by
the college band. Not to be out
done, the Varsity students have
organized a. rooter's club as well as
a .band, and it seems certain chat
there will be rooting galore.
The rivalry beetween Eugene and
Corvallis is intense. College spirit
as well as college pri Je, - runs high
in both the state institutions, and
followers of the two elevens are wil
ling to back their favorites with
coin of the realm.
" The Agrics , have not defeated
Oregon since 1897, but this year
under the efficient coaching of Dr.
Steckle, they are out for revenge.
With such players as Captain Root
and Williams, the speedy halfback:
Abraham, the "human piledriver"
at fullback; Dow Walker, the big
center rush; and Cooper, the crack
end, the Oregon players will have
a bunch that will keep Latourette
and his followers guessing all. the
time". : The Corvallis team is heav
ier than Oregon, and the backs are
faster. Laurence, left tackle of the
Agricultural team, is out: of- the
game at present owing to an - ac
cidental bullet wound, but it is
said that he will be m condition for
the game on November 1 ith. A
comparison of the x scores made
against Chemawa and Berkeley
shows that the "University and the
Agiicultutal College - are evenly
matched, and those who follow the
doings of Northwest-football teams
say tha't .the Coryallis-Eugene game
of this year ' will eclipse -anything
ever seen in these parts. Both
teams sre- drilled by Michigan
cracks, and both are playing the
same kind of football. Whatever
the outcome of ' the games with
Willamette, Washington or Multno
mah maybe, the fact remains that
the big game of the year as far as
Western Oregon is concerned is the
contest between the University of
Oregon and the Oregon Agricultur
al College. - . .-. ;

A Peculiar Ornament.
Berlin has probably one of the most
peculiar ornaments for a reading room
that has ever been seen in a similar
position In a civilized country. This is
a gravestone which stands, large and
massiveT in one corner of a small room.
It is not only a gravestone, but is in
Its 'legitimate position at the" head of
a grave. The history of Its location In
the house is interesting. It was not
put up in the house, but the house was
built around the stone. Its original
position was In the burial grounds in
the churchyard at St. Hedwlg's.
