CHRISTMAS FOOTBALL.
Multnomah Will Piny Stanford's Sec
ond Team.
Negotiations for a Christmas game with
the Stanford second football team were
concluded yesterday by the management
of the Multnomah Club eleven, and the
game has been scheduled. Since the Uni
versity of Oregon team was compelled to
cancel Its Christmas game rlth Multno
mah, the clubmen have been anxious to
get a match with some outside organi
zation. The proposition received from the
Fturdy Stanford second team for a holi
day game was therefore gladly received,
carefully considered, and yesterday a
definite answer telegraphed to the college
eleven to lave Palo Alto for Portland
next Saturday, arriving In Portland Mon
day morning, so as to rest up a day be
fore the hard battle the eleven will haye
in prospect.
A game with the atanrord 'varsity
eleven was out of the question, as the
Stanford faculty, like .that of the Uni
versity of Oregon, had forbidden a holi
day tour to the men that had won the
annual intercollegiate game from Cali
fornia. But the second eleven was read
ily granted permission tor a trip on ac
count of tbeir faithful work during the
season. The rivalry between the tlrst and
second teams this year at Stanford -was
Intense. Two of the players of the sec
ond or college eleven, as It In called, in
distinction rrom the 'varsity, were great
ly superior to their first team opponents,
but were Ineligible to play In- the Thanks
giving game, being barred out as special
students. The second eleven had Its reg
ular captain and its code of signals, and
used to play like demons against the 'var
sity, occasionally scoring in practice
games. In the Stanford-Nevada game,
when the 'varsity was unable to score
and their opponents had run up five
points, the bleachers voiced the general
attitude of the students toward the 'var
sity's poor playing by continually calling
out, "Put in the second team."
The Stanford second team players have
been anxious to show their prowess, and
the game with Multnomah's experienced
eleven will give them ample opportunity.
The college eleven can De counted upon
to give a quick, clever exhibition of the
popular sport.

Sate of First Oregon. Court.
PORTLuVND, Dec 17. (To the Editor.)
I have Just read Hon I. P. Graver's
article, entitled "Lawyers of Oregon
Fifty Tears Ago." appearing In your
Sunday edition of the 16th last.
This article Is perhaps of more Interest
to me than to most, as I was more or
less Intimately acquainted with all the
parties mentioned, and as the subject Is
one which may become of historical In
terest, I wish to correct one of the dates
given by Mr. Grover; that Is, the date on
which the first court was held by Judge
Pratt under the territorial law, which
convened on September 17. 1S19, instead of
March. 1S59, the writer being the Cleric
thereof. This court was the first held by
Judge Pratt In Oregon, and therefore the
first court held, under the civil law of
the United States on the Pacific Coast.
All the counts' records, excepting those
of the ProbaterCourt, were destroyed by
the burning of the courthouse in Lafay
ette In 1S5C. There has, however, recent
ly been discovered among the papers of
tjie late M. P. Deady a bar docket, made
by myself for -the use of the court, hear
ing the date stated above, September 17,
1S49. which Is now on file with the Clerk
of the County Court of Yamhill County.
