Forest Grove I'iuics: ".Milliliter
Miller, of P V, received a telegram
from the manager til tlie University ol
Oregon's team, saying: 'Vo won I
Dlav.' This uptiuiciuly means that
the U oro thinks it bus won tho pen
taut for 'Mo. wlilrh opinion litis heeu
held already bv some luiu-i's In the
state. It is probably u s.tfe, If not a
just plan, for the State I'nlveolty to
refuse to play a tehm against whom
she has never scored a point, or our
nlnvntl in aii nrtiinl f-iintest. if lilt) IK'll
naut can be sei-ured on' a ttclinleality;
but what will it he worth to her, mid
what will it siiriilfv. It obtuiued with
out even playing u leinu that
gave Portland Unlveisity, tho wiuiier
of tlie 'U4 Deuuaiit, its hardest battle,
as the score and testimony of I lie
winning nam limply substantiates?
The scheme Is doomed to fail If the
oitlcers of tin Intercolh giate associa
tion are us fair-minded as they arc
considered to be."
Forest Grove Hatchet: "Tho uiatm
uerorthe State University team wrote
to Mr Miller stating; that bis team will
not play with P U Ibis beiuuii. This
message was a great surpriso to our
team, as Jugcue lius no Mhl to claim
the pennant before the final match is
played. We lail to we any reason
why Eugene should looK down on us
in contempt. However, the chum
tiioiisliln oennnnt wld come to P U,
it the Kueno boys ivfne to play the
'Vars tv team."
After a huo or several weeks the
Forest Grove paper have Just discov
ered that tho U r O team has been
out or practice since the Thanksgiv
ing game aud do not intend to play
another gun c tills seai-on.
When the seliedulu for this season's
games was arranged by the commit
tee, consisting ol the manager of euch
team lu the statu college association,
the final game was set lor Thanks
giving day, ulid was to bo played by
the two teams which bail heen suc
cessful no to that date. This was to
be the championship game and the
winner was to receive tlie pennant.
In tho game ht Corvallis, Nove '.bi-r
2, tielweeii llie Corvallia and Forest
Grove trams the score was a lie;
hence neither learn woo the game and
licit her team was entitled to further
cuter the contest according to the
schedule of the association, until the
tie was oil'; and the only legal way to
get it nil was to piny it oil. But in
ste.id of iu ram.ing for an jl her game
the mansgers of tlie Corvallis, Forest
Grove and Salem teams aud Muddy, a
player In the Portland team, held a
meeting and re m ranged loo schedule
so that (.'orvallis and Forest Grove
would both lie entitled to remain in
tho contest. The two teams then
loesul coins to see which should play
Salem Itrst, and the lot fell to (.'or
vallis. Thus this new arrangement neces
sitated another yainu being played
after ThaiikKivii:g for the champion
ship, mid entitled Foiei-t Grove to
play in the ti mil content, although she
had never won a game this season.
l'lic meeting at Corvallis was held
without the consent of Manager Keene
of the U of O team, who was not prei
ent. Manager Washburn of tho Port
laud team whs not present at this
meeting, and Muddy, who represented
him, had no legal light to do so. Tint
whole arrangement was unfair, and,
according to the constitution of tlie
association, wits illegal.
As soon us the home team learned of
this change made in the schedule by
the clique at Corvallis, they khuouiio
ed that If they won tho game with
Portland nud the onu on Thanksgiv
ing, they would not play Forest Grove
after Thanksgiving day, und that so
far as they weie concerned the
Thanksgiving game would decide the
11 mil result. Tiny made this asser
tion loiitf before the games were
played with Portland aud S.ileui...The
leuin was under heavy expeuae anu
severe discipline, ulid did not wish to
remain in practice longer than until
riiatiUsgiviug. However, they inihl
have plaved l'orest Grove had the
gauit' been arranged to take place 1kj-
tore 1 miuKsgmiig.
"H the onicciri or the iiHercoiiegiuto
association are us fair -minded as they
are ccnMdereu to ot" mo nine
"selienio". perpetrated down nt Cor
vallis will fail, and the pennant will
be uwarded to tho U of O team, who
have won it by a full' and honest test
ol strength and science, uud not by
any Illegal "bickerings."
llowvver, the matter will bo decided
by a committee consisting or one
graduate chosen from cucK Institution
of learning concerned by tlie faculty
of that Institution, this committee to
be vested with the power io awurd the
pennant to whom they think It right
fully belongs.
We believe in all sincerity that the
pennant will be awarded to the U of O
team.

rare literury treat. This was the sec

what they are missing by staying
away from this course of entertain
ments, which Is of a very blub order.
Only the best performers are brottcht

requires a strong Influence ai.d in
volves a gieat dcul of expense to get
them; and to have a continuation of
elltertainmcliti or this high class will
surely require a more liberal patronage
Iroiii the public. The rceitul lust
night was a rare treat, the like of
which tlie people or Eugeiib do not of
ten have an opiiortunity to hear. The
eleven ditlercut characters of "The
Merchant or Venice" were vividly
port rayed by Mr. Cliapiu, who stands
second to but Tew in his ability hi that

disheartened to think that there were
bul about 3 tons of dried apples to bo
round in tho whole county. He
thinks It so strange that thine were so
many apples In this county thu past
year, and now dried apples are so
scarce. People in this country are too

and rot ou the ground. This country
should never be found wanting lu this
