A short lime ago a five-legged
colt was born on the farm of. Geo,
Coorer, west of this city a few
miles. All of the limbs of the colt
were perfect except one of the fore
legs. , From.the knee down one of
the forelegs waa double, although
the same skin covered both sets of
bones. A short distance above the
hoof joint the leg divided and ended
in two hoofs, each perfect. One
hoof stood about as it should, but
the ' other '. turned in and ' slightly
I back. From , a - practical . stand
point the coit would never be any
account, ns it could not be worked
to advantage. There was a remote
possibility that it might have been
sold for exhibition purposes to some
aggregation, desiring a freak, . but
the chances for doing so were so re
mote that the colt was killed,
was a most decided victory for
OAC, the score being 78 to 44.
Frissell, -the U. of O. athlete
over whom there was much -controversy,
was not allowed to com
pete, as he had not been atteud-
the university v long enough to
make him eligible for this con
test'. This is as it should be; if
a man is not eligible, do not ad
mit him; if you have rules, ad
here to them strictly. Had this
man been in the game the final
score- would have been a little
different, but even then Eugene
could not have won.' S
Records' were smashed as it
was. In the half-mile run the
northwest record" of 2 minutes,
3 3-5 secondsi was broken by
Greenhaw, of OAC, who made
it in a minutes, 2 1-5 seconds.
In .the relay race OAC's team
broke the northwest record, mat
mg 'the mile in 3:33. ' The Eu
gene men were not in it at anv
stage of the game in this event,

haw fouled Veatch, a Eugene
