Meteors, Edna Smith, Ray Smith, Lulu Van Cleve, Florence Wicks, Frances Gellatly. - Both goals from the field were made by Miss Edna Smith of, the Meteors, while Winnie Logan of the Comets threw two baskets from the foul line. Neither side was compos ed entirely of experienced play- ers, put were cnosen witn a view of equalizing the sides and the result was a small score. When the first team is picked, more term work will be in evidence, as each player will have ouly one position during the season. Coaches Tharp & Stokes are highly pleased with the showing made Friday night. The boys game was character ized by fast and brilliant team work, lor each team had exactly the same line-up last season. The members of the All-Staxs were Moores, C. C. and Grover Cate, Stokes and Steiwer, and ot the Arrows, Bilyeu, Swan, Smithson, E. and Carl Rinehart. At the end of the first half the All-Stars were in the lead, but when during the second half the little Arrows began to gain and finally won out by a score of 11 to 10. Great enthusiasm. Ar rows being the smaller in stature, seemed'to have the sympathy of the spectators. The prettiest play of the evening was made by Swan when he landed the ball in the basket by a hftv foot toss.

An athletic club has been organ ized in Corvallis for the benefit of clerks, business men and others. The old Salvation Army Hall at the corner of Main and Jackson streets hasjbeen fitted up with bars, punch ing bag?, rings and other athletic contrivances. At a meeting rome time ago, J. J. McHenry was elect ed mai ager and Byron Taylor sec retary. The membership fee is $1 per month and the enrollment reaches nearly fifty members. Circuit court was in session the most of Friday last, with Judge Benson presiding. The attention of the court was chiefly occupied with argument in the mandamus proceeding, brought to compel the directors of Newton district to pay apportioned, money for the benefit of pupils of that district attending the Philomath school. This matter has not yet reached trial on its merits. The tist writ issued was quashed because it was issued by the county judge instead of the circuit jude. The second writ was thrown out because the two parties, plaintiff, were improperly joined in on4 proceeding. The judge granted the attorney ten days in which to file a new petition and writ. Thus it will be seen that the case is no nearer adjustment than when it was first started. All the little boys and girls.

Santa Claus always gets his stock of toy 8 for Corvallis boys and girls of his old friend Hall. It is cheaper for him than making them but the children themselves must do the . selecting. Don't wait till Christmas go at once. The city fathers have very thoughtfully dumped a few loads of gravel into the lake that had form ed on Madison street, in front of the Gazette office. Hearing that ihe next few weeks was the time for de linquent subscribers to pay up their back subscriptions to the Gazette and fearing that . some might be mired or drowned in the mad rush, they have taken time by the fore lock, and made the street passable. Our thanks are due the authorities for their kindly action. Subscrib ers will remember that there is now no danger in approaching the Ga zette office from any direction with their subscriptions, and will be ready to fall in the line that will form on Madison street, and ex tend up Main street to the saw mill.

John Withycombe, a well remem bered former student of O A C rep resented the freshmen of the Uni versity of Washington in a local oratorical contest at Seattle late.y. This is what the Seattle Times says: John Withycombe, the freshman tepresentative,r was the surprise of the evfniog. His oration entitled "Oliver Cromwell," was carefully worked out, and, to the minds of many, was the best delivered ad dress of the ; evening. In gestures and other matters that can be ob viated by training he showed lack of experience. But his oration taken as a whole, would justify the belief that he one ot the most prominent aspirants for forensic fame that has epoken from a Wash ington rostrum for many a day. The article again says, Withy combe, the freshman representative, spoke third. A large, heavy set young man, with broad shoulders and a deep voice, he created a pleas ing impression from the start. "O.iver Cromwell, the peerless sold ier and statesman of England was," he declared, "in no small measure the conservator of the liberties that have borne their full fruition in the government 1 of the ' United States. . He it was that tore king craft from the throne and put in its place the common people as sov ereign and supreme." Good for John, Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1 :3d p. AGRICULTURAL HALL. m. .
