MED4LS ON DISPLAY.
Students Jubilant Over Results
" New World's Records. "
, (Special from O. A. C.) -v
As the O. A. C students hur
ried expectantly into the chapel
Monday morning, they were more
than pleased at what they be
held, for before them hung a ban
ner, of purple and -silver about
two by four feet. It was a beau
tiful thing and was suspended by
a brass chain from the pulpit.
Everyone was talking "field
meet" when suddenly the whole
student body broke into cheers
for President Gatch came in with
the medals on a large purple vel
vet placard in one hand and the
silver cup, still cased in the
other. The cheering did not
cease until long after he had
placed the medals, over the ban
ner on the pulpit and had taken
the cup, which was the prize for
the relay race, from its velvet
casing and set it beside the med
als over the banner. Then the
cheering subsided somewhat and
the regular chapel exercises were
carried out.
After they were over the presi
dent said he wanted to hear the
students yell for the team, the
manager, the trainer, and for
O. A. C. - Nine rahs were given
for the team, three for Prol.
Hay ward, three for "Dad" Trine
and the old slogan Zip ! Boom !
Bee ! was given three times. .
Prof. Cordley then said that in
order to win more victories we
must make the cantata, "Queen
Esther" a success.
Then Prof. Hayward arose, at
the request of the president, to
tell some more about the meet.
He said that the trophies before
us could tell better than he how
the meet came out. But he said
that the reason Williams did not
take the quarter was that Mult
nomah had 13 or 14 out of 16
officials and would not listen to
any protest. Williams. Smith
son and Gearin were running the
quarter and it. was very close till
Williams got pushed into the
grand stand. The relay was very
close and exciting, Williams,
Coates and Cooper taking part
from O. A.-C. As Williams en
tered this race for the last lap he
was 30 feet behind his opponent
but gained on him till he came
out five or six feet ahead of him.
Coates in his heat made the high
hurdles in 6 2:5 seconds, the
world's record being 7 seconds.
As this was announced the stu
dents broke into a prolonged
cheer over this lowering of the
world's records.
Swann in vaulting 10 feet 2
inches breke our college record
one inch.
This is the greatest victory
that the present generation of
students in O. A. C. have, ever
seen, and is prophetic of more
that are soon to follow.
. The medals which the boys
brought home were as follows:
Jackson, gold medal, for shot
put, 3 5 feet 2 inches.
Root, silver medal for slot put
t,a feet 2, inches.
Smithson, gold medal 50 yard
dash, 5 4-5 seconds. ,
Coats, gold medal, 50 yard low
hurdles, 6 2-5 seconds."

ning high jump, 5 feet 5lnches.

for the most points.

Guilford Barnard, Pioneer of; 1852
'.. Died at his home, Fair View,
one mile east of Bellfountain, at
4 o'clock April 17, 1904, after a
lingering sickness, at the age of
79 years, 2 months and 8 days."
Mr. Barnard, was a native ol
Bourbon County, Ky. , where he
was bora Feb. 9,' 1825, and with
his parents moved to Missouri in
1835 and again in 1844 to Illi
nois ; Mr. Barnard : was one ' ol
seven children and was. educated
principally in the' public schools
of; Illinois and Missouri. At the
age of 21 v he began life with no
capital but energy and industry,
following the training that had
been his from earlv childhood
Outfitting with ox teams and
the necessary articles for such ' a
trip he started with his family
across the plains in 1852, and
though during the six months
j no. trouble was experienced from
the Indians, the dread disease of
cholera claimed many victims of
the party among whom. was. his
eldest child. ', Fortunately Mr.
Barnard suffered only a mild at
tack of the disease and came
through safely. ' :
Mr. Barnard, first settled on a
donation land claim seven miles
east f Harrisburg, Linn county,
where be resided until 1869. In
thatyear he came to Benton coun
ty and purchased his present
home. ' heJj.pus is situated; on
an elevation that "commands a
view of the .beautiful valley to
the east, making an ideal location
for a home, .
Mr. Barnard was married to
Miss Catherine Wigle, April 1,
1849 in Adams county. Illinois.
Of the six children born to them
two now survive him, Mary M.
and Francis M. The former is
the wife of S. C.' Starr, of Bell
fountain, and the latter" remains
at home with his mother. Mr.
Barnard has certainly taken for
his guide in lite the precepts
taught by the golden rule, ior he
has let pass' uq opportunity to ex
tend a helping hand to another
weaker than himself and to re
member with kindness the help
less. In public affairs ever broad
minded and open-hearted. A true
and loyal husband and father, a
kind friend, an honored citizen,
loved by all mourned by every
one who knew him.
The funeral was held at his
late home at n o'clock Monday
ApVil 18, and many were the
friends that followed his remains
to the Bellfountain Cemetery only
a half mile away, where now
rises a new mound of earth cov
ered with beautiful flowers, tok
ens of love placed there by rel
atives and friends, who mourn
the loss of Guilford Barnard.' .
