Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis. Or.. Sept. 28. The -opening of a
new college year finds athletic condi
tlons very promising at the Oregon
Agricultural college. The prevailing
attitude savors of sanity despite the
demoralizing effects which usually fol
low upon the heels of championship
honors. Coaches and students alike
eem to have escaped the fatal over
confidence which almost Invariably fol
lows a period of athletic successes. The
feeling which prevails seems to be one of
' confidence in the result of the best ef
v l'orts, and a realization that only the
best efforts will successfully defend
t the coveted championship honors. Nor-
cross at the helm, seven veterans as a
nucleus to build upon, and this at
' mosphere of wholesome confidence pre-
vailing, seems to presage another year
'. of athletic supremacy for the Beavers.
' The phenomenal success which has
. characterised the work of Norcross
. since his advent as a football coach Is
known to every follower of the collegl
ate game in the west. Fresh from four
.'years of tutelage under that great foot
V ball irixard, Tost of Michigan, he en
f tered upon his duties as coach of the
Oregon Agricultural college imiraii
. team. Upon assuming the position he
round conditions welt suited to test
his skill. In the squad of Candidates
which responded to his first call he
t found only one man who had ever
played in a college game. Nothing
daunted, however, he put Into practice
without delay that trick of coaxing and
criticising praising and pommeling
. yet always compelling, which has met
with such a ready response on the part
' of Ms men, and which has won for
"Norky" the highest place In the hearts
. of the student body. The result was
that this verdant bunch of gridiron as--.
plrants was moulded Into a fighting
' machine which scored 77 points against
. their opponents 4, and met with only
-.. one defeat In olaylng through a sched
ule which included every strong col
. lege team In the northwest. ,

The results or tne rirst, oniy tnat
"Norky" had a more advanced point
from which to make a start. Opening
tne season wun seven experiencea men
instead of one he made an improvement
equal to that which he had worked
tho year before, and turned out a team
which not only never met defeat but
which was never "scored upon, and
which expanded its ehamDionshio claim
from that of the Pacific northwest to
that of the Pac f e west.
A glance at the veteran warriors who
will enlist In the 190S aggregation sus
tained the feeling of confidence in the
ultimate result of the year's work
- which has been created by a review of
. the oast work of the coacn.
-Captain Carl Wolf a entera upon bis
tnira year 01 college zooiDau wen
eautpped to lead the team. He is heav
fast, heady; and Is a marvel at boo
ing the ball. He also has the confidence
, of his teammates. With the .advantage
. of a back field position, the generalship
or the team, ana tne Kicxing aepart-
men t centered In his hands he should
- be a powerful factor In determining the
result or tne season s worg.
Assure Stability.
Kelly, Barber and Pendergrass assure
the stability or the center or the line.
'Jamison, northwest tackle, and Bennet,
who la a worthy rival ror tne same

honors, will probably bo back in the
tackle positions.
Cady. who did some exceptional work
on the end last year, bids well to fill
ine piace vacated Dy iumity, ana witn
?)obbln will guard the extremes of the
Ine. Qagnon, who played a brilliant
Same at quarter last year, Is again on
eck. Cooper will fill his old position
at halfback. Such Is the array of stars
who will In all probability again fight
under the banner or tne Oregon Agri
cultural College.
Another man entered the lists this
year as coach and athletlp director
through the medium of O. A. C, who
promises to be a prominent factor In
th athletics of the west.
This man is Athletic Director E. D.
Angell of the state college. Angell
Droved himself the peer of basketball
ooaches of the middle west last year
when the championship of the entire
country was held in that section.-. His
track team tied with Stanford for seo
ond honors in the conference meet at :
Chicago, only losing to Chicago by four
points, jwr. An. sen s leara aeieaiea

before. Both of these teams were de

Managing Pinaaoes.
It Is Ana-ell's belief that the finances
can be so managed as to broaden the
field or competition ror xne various
teams, and to this end ho Is already
rjlannln to enter the track team in
the Chicago conference meet. He finds
justification of this policy In the rec
ords made last year by th track men.

Such are the men, the conditions, and

The necessary conclusion is that the
successes which have characterised the
work of the Oregon Agricultural coi
leg athletes on the diamond, the track
and the gridiron have splendid promise
of being repealed.

true function of these institutions, and
has been abandoned in a number of
states, for such designations as the
Pennsylvania state college, the Iowa

land grant college that Is a perfected
representative of the splendor and

?ose. He has grouped around htm a
acuity drawn from the best institu
tions, ' and embodying the best experi
ence and brains the resources at his
command can afford. He has a clientele
of students and an organized machine

present indications It appears that Cor-
