to be a greater rvent than was the first
one held last Christmas dir. tor this
year the course has been shortened to
tZ yards, and tie number of entries
listed at this arly date completely out
number those of last year.
The first swim was held last Christ
mas and the course selected was from
the ' Morrison to the B'irnelde-street
bridge, and the entries who started
were few out of the original number,
because of the Ions; distance. Arthur
Cavlll. swimming; Instructor of the.
Multnomah Club, who evolved the Idea
of the Christmas swim, decided that a
shorter course would be fruitful of
many more starters, and hie Judgment
has been demonstrated by the Increased
list of entries. Two weeks before the
last swim I entries wero listed, but
out of this number only 11 started. Thla
year, with the course shortened. J en
tries have now been listed, and many
more are expected befora the data of

Watklns Offers Cup.
Frank E. Watklns. chairman of the
wlmmlnf committee of the Multnomah
Club, has entered Into the matter most
enthusiastically, and announcea that he
will be one of the swimmers himself.
Ho Is figuring on offering a trophy for
a place In the rare, and will assist the
cause la every possible manner. Haad
aome medals will be distributed to all
contestants entering; the water, and
prizes additional will be awarded the
swimmers finishing; first, second and
third, as well as Individual prlxes do
nated by business houses r special

Into tha water Christmas day Is assured
of a memento of substantial worth as a
souvenir of their efforts.
Stephen T. Britten, who donated the
handsome challenge cup won by Phil
Patterson last year. Is enthusiastic over
the event, and thinks that thla season's
a swim will eclipse anything; of tha kind
ever held before.
Short Course Approved.
-I think It Is one of the best adver
tising; features Portland ever had." said
Mr. Britten yesterday. "I heartily ap
prove if the idea in shortening; the
course, for It elves many otherwise
timid swimmers a chance to compete
' for the honors over a route that will
not harm them In the least. I think
the business men of Portland will make
no mistake In seconding; the Multnomah
Club In the holding; of this swim an
ou.illy." The Britten cup. which was won by
Phil Patterson Isst Christmas day. is

MEDIEVAL BARON'S WAYS
Breakfast Was a Formidable Affair
In the Thirteenth Century.
G G. Coultnn. In Harper's Majraslne.
From the Thirteenth Century at least
however ther may have done In earlier
times), the English nobility were not
ashamed to organise their business and
tnrlr households on strict business prin
ciples. Still greater was the need of
order in this Sixteenth Century, when
the feudal nobl!lty were often poorer
than the rapidly growing merchant
class, and when social and religious
revolution was already In the air. Tha
minuteness of the Percy household
regulations is simply astounding. Let
us take breakfast as an example. A gen
eration or two befora this, breakfast
had hardly counted aa a meal: when
recognized at all. It waa simple a snack.
Just a mouthful and a elngle draught to
wash It down, which the hardy man dis
dained as In our daya he disdains after
noon tea.
E t manners were now changed:
more than four pairs are devoted to a
specification of the Percy breakfast, be
ginning; "This Is the order of sll such
breakfasts as shall be allowed daily in
my lord s house every I.ent e e e
cn Sunday I Monday). Tuesday. Thurs
riny and Saturday, except my lord's
children, which shall have breakfast
eery day In tha week.' My lord and
my lady had together "a loaf of bread

beer, a quart of wine, two pieces of salt
fish, six baconned herring, four white
herring, or a dish of sprats." My Lord
Percy and Master Percy, aged about 10
and 8. had "half a loaf of household
bread, a manchet. a bottle of beer, a
dish of butter, a piece of salt fish, a dish
of sprats, or three white herrings."
Then comes a "breakfast for the nurcy
for my Lady Margaret and Master In
gram Percy: A manchet. a quart of
beer, a dish of butter, a piece of salt
flah. a dish of sprats or three white
herring." And so on. through "break
fast for my lord's brethren and head of
ficers of household." "Breakfast for two
messes of gentlemen ' th' chapel and a
mess of children." down to the porter's
lodge and tha stable.
It may be as well to explain that the
trenches were slices of bread, used by
the upper rlassea aa dishes for their
mest. and given to the poor afterward:
that a manchet was a loaf of fine bread,
and a bottle contained half a gallon.
Tha regular allowance waa thua one
quart of liquor per person.

oarsman of good ability, befora coming
to this country Murphy soon made the
reputation for himself of being an able

riding a shell.
Although ha vie not ranked as the beet
coach In the United State at any time
of hla career Mr. Murphy has always
had the name' or being one of the fore
most of the latter-day coaches, although
he was a veteran of the "old school"

It might be said that the clean

PARIS. Nov. S (Special.) Tremend
ous waa the excitement when a stranger
arrived at a small country town and an
nounced the appearance of a number of
aviators on their aeroplanes for the fol
lowing day. The citlxens were over
Joyed at the honor which was about to
be paid to their town, and at the fame,
to which It and they would attain In the
world. The local Innkeeper was full of
attention for the visitor, who had or
dered a colossal banquet for the gallant
aviators, and an aerodrome having been
Improvised, a score of workmen were
soon busily engaged In putting up posts
and flags. When the next day dawned
the little town, was in a stir. The nows
had spread through the district and
host of vilagers were trudging in to
swell the ranks of the spectators, as the
aviators were to arrive at 9. -
An hour before the appointed time,
however, the stranger suddenly discov
ered that he wanted something which
could only be procured at a larger town
a little way off, so away he sped on bis
bicycle, promising to be back again In
good time to receive the aviators. Nine
o'clock struck, and there was not a sign
of htm or of the flyers, and as the hours
rolled by everybody grew uneasy. At
last the citlxens realised that they had
been hoaxed.
Gendarmes were sent In pursuit and
the man was eventually found calmly
seated outside a cafe at a rather remote
village. He was arrested, handcuffed,
and brought back to the little town to
meet with a reception very different
from that which had been accorded to
him on the previous day.
A MEXICAN WAR STORY
Tale of the "Goldarnest Rain Storm
He Ever Heerd Tell Of."
Danville. Kr, recruited levies for both
the Union and Confederate causes, and
after the war waa over the veterans of
both sides used to sit In the glow of the
corner grocery store fire and rehearse
tales of the great conflict. Nlglit after
night they would convene here to ex
putlute on the dreadful battle scenes of
which they were eyewttnese-ea. The ad
ventures were aglow with romance, and
many a hearty laugh rang out over
scenes that were Jum a bit exaggerted
as to the carnage, or slightly modified
In the retelling.
There was one man who always re
mained silent, and had an annoying way
of seeming bored when they launched
Into their best yarns. Finally, they could
stand the prceeure no longer; they asked
him why It was that he had nothing to
say. "Warn't yuh In the war?" they
demanded.
"Yesslr." he nodded sagely; "I was."
"What war?
"Mexican."
"Good! tho crowd exclaimed In chorus.
'Now we'll have something new a regu
lar rousing story."
John puckered his mouth, shifted his
kneeet and scratched his head; he tried
to recall some scene of carnage that
would thrill with the days of CT.apultepec
or of General Scott storming the Molino
del Rey. Then he shifted hi!" quid to
the other side of his Jaw, snd said:
"Well. I want to tell you feller that
In the Mexican War we had some mighty
great experiences. Mighty great, yep
them wa the daya when they I. ad reel

In a tent on a mountain down there, and
there come along one of the goldarndest
rain storms I ever heerd tell ,of ! And
that was a rain storm, too!" liis eyes
kindled as he burst Into the most hilarious
laughter: bis rsdes shook and the tears
rolled down his cheeks.
But the veterans were speechless with
Indignation when they reflected that the
most thrilling stories they .could recount
had failed to bring a smile or word from
this Mexican coffee cooler," who became
almost hysterical at the recollection of
experiencing the "goldarndee rain worm
he ever heerd tell of" in a tent glown
In Mexico.

LEGK. Corvallis, Nov. E. (Special.)
The Oregon Agricultural College team
defeated the Whitman football aggre
gation here today by a score of to 0.
The points were made In the second
quarter, when Enberg got the ball on
Whitman's 3-yard line, after Cox had
failed to handle Keek's punt, and car
ried it over the 'goal line, and a few
minutes later when Keck scored a field
klclf from Whitman's 20-yard line.'
From then on, Oregon played a defen
sive game.
'-he score well Indicates the com
parative strength of the teams. The
Missionariea had the advantage of
about six pounds to the man In weight
but did not show the speed or the skill
Of the local team.
Both teams were able to make fre
quent gains, but invariably punted on
the third down. In this feature of the
game Keck clearly outclassed Nell. Re
peatedly the Oregon kicker sent the
ball through the air for 50 to 60 yards.
Schlldmiller and his staff of coaches
sprang a surprise with their little team
of warriors, which put up a wonderful
fight and showed splendid knowledge
of the game. Every Oregon man -who
was taken from the field came out
with tears streaming down his face
and protesting at every step'.
May. ReynoldA Hastings. Keck and
Huntley played the beat game for the
Oregon and Neil. Lewis and Johneon did
the 'stellar work for the visitors. May
was in every play and tackled the run
ner repeatedly. Hastings, Reynolds and
Keck pulled off gains of from to 12
yards with such frequency that at times
it seemed that the Washington team
would be overwhelmed. Richardson, who
was played at left half, also proved to
be a good ground gainer.
Oregon kicked off and. after two at
tempts at tho line Whitman kicked.
There was an exchange of punts and
then Richardson got away for 25 yards
and put the ball on Whitman's 30-yard
line. Keck tried a place kick but failed.
The quarter ended with the ball in the
center of the field.
Two mlnuierj after the opening of the
second quarter, Enberg got the ball
arter Cox had fumbled Keek's punt and
carried it three yardei to the Whitman
goal. Keck kicked goal. Flve minutes
later Keck punted to -Neil who got tha
ball on his own five-yard Hne. Neil at
tempted to punt to safety, but May in
terfered and the ball went almost straight
up and was caught by an Oregon man
on Whitman's ten-yard line. Oregon tried
twice and then Keck resorted to a place
kick, which he sent squarely between
the goals. Before the quarter closed.
Whitman got the ball on the O. A. C.
five-yard line but Keck kicked it to
safety.
From this time on the contest waged
back and forth over the field, with no
advantage to either side. Only once did
Whitman have a chance to score, and
that was when Neil tried a drop-kick
from the 20-yard line, but the ball went
wild.
Schlldmiller took advantage of the new
rules to change his men frequently. Cap
tain Hawley played only a few minutes
of the game.
Oregon used 17 men, while Whitman
made but one change. The time was
taken out frequently, but there were no
serious injuries. Coach Bill Warner-and
several university players watched the

Oregon Agricultural College "Frcsh
lcs" Lose 26-to-0 Game.
EUGENE, Or.. Nov. 6. (Special.) Mys
tified by a wonderful onslaught of open
style play, the freshmen from the Ore
gon Agricultural College succumbed to
the State University freshmen football
squad by the score of 26 to 0, In the first
annual class game between these two
institutions.
It was a game filled with many spec
tacular situations, and, in spite of the
one-sided score, there were several
anxious moments for the varsity rooters.
The university men had decidedly the
better of the contest at practically all
stages of the game.
Had It not been for the phenomenal
punting of Left Half Larson, of the
college team, the score would have been
much larger. This versatile little fellow
booted the ball in splendid fashion from
behind his own goal line on several fic
casions, and outshone Cobb and Brad
shaw In the punting department through
out the three, quarters in which he ap
peared. The brilliant star of the game was
the doughty little Earle Cobb, the uni
versity captain, who scored 21 of the 26
points recorded by his team. Cobb was
in every play, and his generalship indi
cated that the tricky formations which
the university men had perfected were
of liigh order. Aside from two 4-yard
runs and a masterful control of the for
ward pass, Cobb executed three place
kicks, made two touchdowns and kicked
two goals.
The other score was made by Fiser,
the speedy right end. who- recovered a
long punt and dashed deftly past all in
truders for the first touchdown of the
day. Fiser was a veritable fiend in re
covering fumbles, punts and forward
passes. The university line from end to

FREIGHTS NOW LOOK UP
TIDE TCRXS IX FAVOR OP EXG
LISH SHIPOWXER.
Indications That Revival Is Some
thing More Than Evanescent In
Character Brings Joy.
LONDON, Nov. 5. (Special.) After a
long spell of disappointment, the tide
seems to have turned in favor of the
shipowner. Not only do freights show
a substantial, all-around improvement,
but there are Indications that the re
vival is something more than evanes
cent In character.
As to the precise reasons which have
brought about these better conditions
the average shipowner does r not
trouble himself very much. More Im
portant to him is the fact that, in
stead of doing business on an unre
munerative basis, he has now the
chance of making substantial, and pos
sibly even handsome, profits. It Is so
long since this sensation was experi
enced that the shipowner may be ex
cused If he has not quite got used to
It. There can be no question that the
improvement comes at an opportune
time, for the long period of depression
has been severely trying. Its wreck
age has. of course, been considerable.
By common consent, one of the rea
sons why freight revivals are often
short lived Is the haste which owners
display In ordering further tonnage. In
this connection the lockout in the ship
building trade is not an unmixed evil,
since there is little Inducement to ordar
ships which there is no chance of the
builder putting In hand. But tljere is
the less need to enter into building
contracts, seeing that there Is an ade
quate supply at good second-hand ton
nage available. A little while ago such
tonnage was a drug in the market.
Now its value is considerably en
hanced a plain Indication that the
position of the shipowner is a more
cheerful one. In the long run, of
course. the shipowners will benefit
bv the revival in freights, and they
are understood to be looking forward
to. something In the nature of a boom
next vear. Before then, no doubt, the
trouble with the "black squad" will
have been settled. "

Crimson Wallops Cornell Boys Un
mercifully; Score C7 to 5.
CAMBRIDGE), Maes- Nov. 5. The
largest crowd of the season streamed
out to the stadium today to see the
Harvard eleven defeat the light, but
fast Cornell team on a wet gridiron, by
the score of 27 to 5. Hamilton Corbett,
of Portland, divided honors with Cap
tain 'Withington, both of whom played
one of the greatest games ever seen on
a football field.
The superiority of Harvard was shown
almost from the start. In the first five
minutes of . play the Crimson started
from the middle of the field and carried
the ball over for the first touchdown.
Three minutes later, Lewis added three
more points by a goal from the field from
the 35-yard line. The third score was
a touchdown by Lewis on a forward
pass.
From Cornell's 22-yard line another
field goal was scored by Harvard from
Potter's toe In the second period.
Frequent substitutions were made by
both teams In the third period until
Harvard had practically a new eleven on
the field. After five minutes of play
Harvard took the ball from their own
16-yard line and made the third touch
down. No goal was kicked.
Harvard scored another touchdown in
the fourth period, six minutes after the
start, but Minot could not kick a goal.
It was Harvard's ball on her -40-yard line
when Pierce fumbled and Simpson of
Cornell picked it up and ran to within
two yards of the goal. On the next rush
Harvard's goal line was crossed for the
first time this season. Ko goal was
kicked. The line-up:

team, were made. Gray, for Eugene, se
cured; a touchdown by heavy line buck
ing. Hofer secured a touchdown for Salem
by the same system. Small captured the
game with a beautiful trick play by
using the forward pass. F. D. Dennison

Soldiers Dine on Rat Poison.
STAMFORD. Conn., Nov. 5. Fifteen
inmates -of the State Soldiers' Home
here are ill today as the result of a
meal of rat poison, of which they par
took heartily yesterday. Through the
carelessness of an attendant, a plate
of bread and butter which had been
prepared for exterminating rats In the
cellar of the dormitories, was placed
on one of the tables in the dining hall
and the 15 men ate it. The promptness
with which the steward at the homo
acted when he discovered that the sol
diers had devoured the bread and butter
meant for the rats is responsible for
the fact that 15 deaths did not follow.
