KOTLY CONTESTED GAME
O. A. C. Wins Against Alumni in
Score of I 1-0.
The first football game in the
series laid out for the season by
the' OAC Athletic Association
wail ' played on the local field.
Saturday between the OAC team
of this year and the famous cham
pion OAC team of '97.
The game was hotly contested
from start to finish and it was
plainly evident that the the old
boys had not forgotten how to
play although they had been
separated for seven years. They
were both old and tricky and all
things considered they played a
remarkably good game. Of
course, under the circumstances,
it was too much to expect that the
alumnal team should put up even
a scoreless game, they soon be
came sore and quickly lost inter
est. The OAC team being sea
soned veterans had a decided ad
vantage but yet the score at the
end of the game was the result of
hard fighting. End runs were
not used to any great extent,
nearly the entire game consisting
of line bucking, which kept both
teams in a constant state of ex
haustion. OAC lost the ball
twice on fumbles and an offside
play cost her a touchdown.
The alumni came in for a fair
share of errors but all things con
sidered, errors on both sides were
remarkably few. Individual
playing was prominent through-
out the game, indeed, had it not
been for the work of individual
players at two or three . critical
points in the game, .the score
very likely would have , been
nothing for OAC. Those who
distinguished themselves were
Pilkington, Root and Williams
for OAC; Gault, McBride, Thurs
ton, Scroggins and Edwards for
the alumni.
he line-up was as follows:
Gault's place as full back on
alumnal team and 1 Hnddleson
and others go in.
Alumni get ball and kick off,
ball down eaOAC's 45-yard line.
OAC advances ball 10 yards, lose
ball on tumble. Alumni buck
bard twice with no gain, punt
for ' gain 20 yards. Root ad
vances ball 8 yards in a series of
hard bucks, Pilkington forces
ball forward 25 yards and OAC
loses ball on downs. Alumni
buck hard but lose on downs.
OAC by hard fighting advance
ball to within 3 yards of alumni's
goal and lose on fumble. Alumni
punts 20 yards. Both teams
work hard, with OAC advancing
steadily toward goal. Williams
gets ball and makes right end
run 18 yards, touch down, Pil
kington kicks goal.
Teams line up with several
changes of men on alumnal team.
1 Teams stav near center of field
until close of second half of game,
score iio in favor of OAC.
The famous old champions
were exhausted and glad to quit.
It was an honorable and glorious
defeat and they would not have
been satisfied had it been other
wise. It was larcelv a matter of
sentiment with most of the team.
They were, with one exception
all together again, and they
talked over old times, had their
pictures taken and almost forgot
what they had come for. A ban
quet in their honor was served in
the Armory in the evening in
which all took part and which
will remain as one of the bright
est spot in their lives.

It is difficult to explain me
nresent slump in cattle values.
There are Derhaps fewer cattle in
:- . ...
proportion to our population to
day than there have been tor tne
past half century. Good cattle
will certainly command high
Drices in the near future: hence
there is nothing in sight to even
suggest panicky conditions.
Stock feed of all classes will
doubtless be high this winter,
conseauentlv the farmers should
eed with ludgment. remaps
the greatest mistake made by
owners of cattle is the withhold
ing of supplementary feed unti
late in the season. Calves and
yearlings which are thin should
receive a small ration ot hay or
grain early in the winter so as to
obviate extreme emaciation. The
high price of mill feed will proba-
blv have a discouraging eitect on
-w "
dairying, but good cows proper
ly handled will alwavs make a
good showing on the right side
of the ledger. It is a good busi
ness policy for dairymen to con
sult the records ot their cows,
and every matured cow in the
herd which has not received good
dairy care that cannot show a
yield of 5000 pounds of milk and
200 pounds ot butter tat in ten
months ought to be consigned to
the shambles ot the butcher.
This may prove to be a severe
weeding-out , process, , but it is
better to maintain a few good
cows than a lot ot inferior ones.
There can be no question of
the sound sense which recognizes
that a few good cows are of
greater profit to the dairyman
than a larger herd of inferior ani
mals.
A hunting party of Christian
Nations being out In search of
game, descried a Chinet Coolie
sitting at rest under a Cinnamon
Tree in the depths of the forest
regaling himself upon a frugal
lunch of Chop Suey, his well
laden ''Baskets disposed in the
path before him.
"Jvet us," whispered the leao
ing Christian Nation, "advance
stealthily, fall upon this friend
ess Chink, and Partition the
contents of his Baskets among
us."
The proposal was received
with enthusiasm, and the Grand
March of Civilization toward the
Coolie and his Baskets began.
'The stuff of this Heathen,
who's a child of Satan, is already
as good as Ours," murmured the
Nations. "The fool hasn't learn
ed to Pack a Gun."
Suddenly from the woods be

Rifles. One he gave to the China
man, and the other he retained,
and both Mongolians Cocked
their Weapons.
The Nations, surprised and

On reaching a distant place ot
safety they held a meeting, or
ganized a Mutual Protective
Association, named it "The Con
cert of the Powers," adopted
strong Resolutions warning Chris

arisen, which threatened the
beneficent progress of True Re

This New Terror they described
as the yeuxw peril, and be

A narrow escape from being
killed, was the introduction an
Eastern gentleman received in
CWvallis. Thursday night. In
comoanv with a local real estate
dealer, the stranger was looking
at a piece of land near the bam
Moore residence, when something
struck the barn above his head.
It was a bullet from a 22 target
rifle, with which some boys were
practicing a short distance away.
It penetrated an inch board and
would have Killed the stranger,
had it struck him in a vital spot.
Bv a very careful calculation the
direction from which the bullet
came was ascertained and the
nerrjetrator of the deed is known
