"It was easier for Multnomah to
buck the officials thanito buck O.
A. C. line." That is what a well
known commercial man said in
town yesterday. He is a member
of the Multnomah club, but is em
phatically on the side of O. A. C.
in the differences over Saturday's
game, which he saw. "I don't blame
Multnomah for bucking the officials'
he said. "It was so much easier,
you see. Under tbe circumstances,
I would have done the fame thing
myself."
Tbe latest from the capital is
to the effect that Governor Cham
berlain is likely to Dame a senator
within two or three days. The
burial of the late Sanator Mitchell
takes place this afternoon, and af
ter that melancholy event the nam
ing of tj successor will be in order.
The statement is that Gearin of
Portland, law partner of Simon, has
the inside track and is likely to be
named. J. K. Weatherford, of Al
bany, is prominently mentioned for
the place. Other persons named as
Toasibilities are W. H. Holmes of
Salem, Joe Toal of Portland, R. D.
Inman of Portland, and others to
numerous to mention. Henry H.
Gilfry, reading clerk of the United
States senate for 2o years, but an
Oregon man, is mentioned as a very
available person for the place.
that had turned out to be more fake
than football, was over.
In the above, it is not meant to
state that the OAC players did no
wrangling. They were driven in
to far more disputing than is their i
wont because when one team goes
in to win by whatever means that
may chance to be necessary, it
arouses resistance in - those other
wise placid and peaceffll
Of the play, there little of in
terest to tell. OAC had by far the
stronger team, and in a fair battle
would have beaten Multnomah by
three touchdowns. When Mult
nomah's trick plays had been work
ed till the students knew them, tbe
club men could no longer make
yardage. Of offense at straight
footbill, the Port landers had none.
They could not have it, because of
lack of practice. The trick plays
were their asset, and with these
once disclosed and exhausted, there
was nothing left. It was by these
she beat Eugene, and by these she
scored on Steckle's men, She
couldn't have done it again in a
week of play, and knew it. De
lays by wrangling and otherwise,
till the already gathering darkness
should make it impossible to finish
the game, were her tactics and they
won Under the circumstances, it
was just as well for the play, which
but for its serjous aspect would be
a huge joke, to have ended where
and as it did.
Four coachloads of people went
from Corvallis to see the game by
special train, and had a very pleas
ant day of it.
