NONE TOO BRIGHT.
Football Prospects at OAC
Alumni Game Tomorrow.
The outlook at OAC, so tar as
football is concerned, is none too
bright just now. Things are in
an unsettled condition and it is
difficult to tell what the strength
of the team' will amount to this
season, according to report.
The team will fce somewhat
larger this season .than last but it
also tends to slowness, which
will offset the advantage gained
by weight. The late opening of
school this year has handicapped
Coach " Norcross in developing
his new men and rounding out a
team tor any of the November
games, ine prospect is tnere
fore none too encouraging.
Qnite a number of the old men
are in school again and will be
on the team. Among these are
Wolf, fullback; Gagnon, quarter
back, Cady and Looney halves;
Barber and Pendegrass, guards;
Dobbin and Harding', ends.
While several of the old plavers
are here, it must be remembered
that they are from a light team of
last year and are not, therefore,
as valuable as would otherwise
be the case.
Of the new men who are
showing up well there are Francis
and Cooper, halfbacks, two local
baseball players but with no foot
ball experience; also Dinges;
Rinehart and Emily of local fame
are in school and are trying for
positions on the team; Jamison,
a Utah man with some experience
as a lineman is also working
with the team in practice; Cherry,
the old center, one of the strong
est men in the line, has. entered
Pullman and will plav oa the
Washington team. His position
on the orange will be hard to fill.
Kelly and Smith, of last year
scrubs, are Irvine for the place.
Bennett, the last year tackle, has
not returned vet but is expected
at auv time. Among others are
the Evan ton brothers of Mon
mouth, Hawley of Newberg;
Turner, the Pendleton nigh
school quatterback and Billy
Burrows of the '04 "scrubs."
Practice is carried ori every day
and quite a bunch of men turn
out for the work. Possibly the
next tew weeks may put a more
encouraging tace on the football
situation at OAC and the outlook
be more favorable than it is at
present.
Convention Next Week.
The twentyfifth annual conven
tion of the Benton County Sun
day School Association will be
held in Corvallis next Tuesday
and Wednesday, October, 15 and
16.
All who are interested in Sunday
school work are invited to lay
aside the secular duties of life as
:ar as possible for these two days
and devote them to gaining know
ledge of the most advanced ideas
ot Sundav school work, to heart
culture, a preparation for the
higher things of this life and the
unending life which is to come,
Rev. Charles A. Phipps, Field
Worker of the state of Oregon,
vill take a leading part, and will
e assisted by the leading Sunday
school workers and evangelists of
the county. The convention
will be held in the M. E- church,
South, corner Fifth and Madison
streets, begining Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock. All are
cordially invited to attend these
exercises.
Going to Coach.'
The Barometer gives a write
up in regard to Claude Swan thai
is worth reproducing:
Swan, the greatest basket ball
player and coach OAC ever had,
the greatest in the northwest.
and oerhaDS the fastest forward
in the United States, is to leave
the 2 th of this moB'h for Seat
tle wnere he will train the Arctic
Youion players lor a tour of
America.
Every reader of the sporting
columns knows of Swan and his
record, and his wonderful play
ing in support of the Orange on
a team of his own make.
Athletics will suffer a serious
loss on the track" and in basket
ball, both the boys and the girls,
as no doubt the work done bv the
record smashing teams of last
year is yet vivid iu the minds
of all.
After a few weeks' training in
Seattle, .Swan and the Arctics
will leave for New York, in a
private car, by way of the south,
playing in all the coast cities,
those across the southern border,
up the Alantic coast and back by
the northern route.
v Swan's many friends at the old
college wish him as great a suc
cess for the future as that of the
past has been, and hope too that
his unparalelled skill will make
the northerners as phenomenal a
a team as it has those of OAC.
Good-by, "Skeater," we hate
to see you go.
Additional Local.
John Lenger the mail-carrier between
the depots and the postoffice, is one of
the most familiar figures in all Corvallis.
For years and years he has been on duty,
rain or shine, "warm or cold, except upjn
the rare occasions when sickness has
kept him at home for a day or two, and
there are few people in this city'"who
haven't a kindly word and a friendly nod
for the faithful old gentleman who drives
the one hose dray. Long may he flour
ish. The cba; el exercises at OAC will here
after be known' as the "Assembly" and
will bs'lield once a week, in the armory,
from 11 :30 to 12:20. Aiter th meeting
Wednesday morning a meeting or the
student bodv was held, at which Dj-
Kerr nave a spirited address aud at
which recoiutions aguiiiBt hazing were
unanimous y adopted.
Usual Berviccs at the Chridt'an chinch
next Sunday morning. In the eyeping
the Bervicea will be held in the tabernac
le. The pastor will preach especially to
young people. The subject will b9, "A
StroDg Young Man." The male chorus
will sing. Rev. Handsaker will also ad
dress the Y. M. C. A. in the college
chapel at 2 :30 in the afternoon. Subject,
'Is the Young Man Safe?"
A reception was held at the M. E.
church, Wednesday eyening, in honor of
Rev. D. H. Leech and family who have
just arrived from Woodburn to make
their home in this city. Minor Swick
presided at the meeting aud after a
prayer by W. C. Swann, Dr. Cathey was
requested to welcome Rev. Leech and
familv, whicu he did in a very fitting
and entertaining short address. Rev.
Leech responded, giving a brief outline
of bis life-history, saying the people
were entitled to know who they were re
ceiving as their pastor. His address was
earnest and made a strong impression on
his hearers. He is a man of very siucere
and pleasing manner and has an inter
esting wile and family who are warmly
welcomed by the people of the church.
Following the remarks cf Rev. Leech,
the audience sang a verse of "Blest Be
the Tie," and R. N. White gave a vocal
solo. Light refreshments amd social
conversation were the concluding features
ot this happy affair. The reception ball
was prettily dererated with autumn
leaves and ivy. The affair was planned
and successfully carried out by Mrs. W,
C Swann and Mrs. S. B. Bane, to whom
congratulations are due for the success oi
the evening.
Students at the Corvallis Agricultural
College are taught the art of packing ap
ples. An hour of apple-packing will be
pretty near as good exercise for the baclri
as two hours of football practice and
eventually much mere pi ofi table. If all
the good apples grown were properly
packed the returns would be much great
er. Aud this does not mean that . the
largest and best ehoold be placed at the
top of the box. Good packins is honest
as well a- neat and only honest packing
pays in the end. Oregonian Editorial.

"TONY" NOLTNER DEAD.
Pioneer Oregon Newspaper Man
Formerly of Corvallis.
Anthony Noltner, one of Ore
gon's first newspaper men, a
recent of the Monmouth State
Normal school and a well-known
citizen of Portland, died sudden
ly Tuesday morning at theTio.me
of his son, A. L. Noltner, corner
Thirty thiru and Targgart streets.
Mr. Noltner had been ill for
some time, but it was not believ
ed that his condition was serious.
He arose that rrorning, 'sat up
about the house for a short time
and returned to bed, where he
died peacefully and quietly' a lit
tle after 10 o'clock.
Mr. Noltner was born in
Germany June n, 1839, and
came to the United States with
bis parents early in his boyhood,
the family settling in Wisconsin.
He left Wisconsin for California
March 15, 1849, arriving at San
Francisco December 15 in the
same year.
Mr. Noltner learned the
printer's trade after reaching San
Francisco and was one of the first
employes on the Alta, published
in San Francisco during the early
days of that city. He went to
the Call in 1856 and worked on
that paper until he left for Ore
gon October 5, 1857.
Mr. Noltner was twice married
his first wife being Miss Ellen
Cox whom he married May i,
1861. He married Miss Martha
N. Williams March 1, 1856.
His second wife died June 3,
1852.
Mr. Noltner began his news
paper career in Uregon.at (Jor-
vauis in 1059, wnen ne was as
sociated with James H. Slater,
afterwards United States senator.
He afterwards published the Eu
gene Keview, being associated
with Joaquin Miller, the poet, as
his partner.
Mr. Noltner was always a
staunch democrat, and joined the
Breckenridge wing of the party
in 1000. During the Uivil war
the postoffice department forbade
the passage of the Review
through the mails on the ground
that the editoral sentiment of the
paper was treasonable. The
paper was barred from the mail
until Mr. Ncltner modified his
editorials.
In 1876, Mr. Noltner began
the publication of the Daily
Standard in Portland and con
tinued its publication for 15
years. His last venture was the
Weekly Dispatch, which he main
tained for five or six years.
Journal.
'Uncle Josh" is Coming.
The attraction at the opera house
on next Friday night will be the
ever reliable "Uncle Josh Per
kins," undoubtedly the most
successful rural comedy drama
that has been produced in years.
It serves a distinct and highly
commendable purpose, for it
teaches in the cleverest and
most entertaining way imagina
able and in a thoroughly up-to-date
manner the truth of the old
saying, that "love will find a
way." The chief interest in the
piece centers in the love of
Uncle Josh for his young daugh
ter Nan. The entire cast of
"Uncle Josh Peikins" has been
selected from among the best
known, most widely experienced
and most conscientious actors
and actresses of the American
stage. The piece is most elabor
ately staged, and equipped with
beautiful scenery. The engage
ment is for one night only. Re
served seat sale opens Wednesday
morning. Prices 35, 00 and 75.
Announcement!
The public is cordially invited to visit
our new store and inspect our new and
complete stock of furnishings for men
and boys. The store is in the new bank
block and is called "The Togeery."

At the close ot Assembly at th
armory, Wednesday noon, there
was a meeting of the student
body at which Dr. Kerr made a 1

plimentary remarks . from those
who heard it.
Following this the student
body, by unanimous rising vote,

which are self-explanatory and
which will be endorsed wit'i
pleasure by the public:
To correct auv misapprehension
in the mind of the public, the
Student Assembly of the Oregon
Agricultural College declares its
position as follows:
That hazing is morally ' and
legally wrong; that it is contrary
to the wishes and spirit of this
institut'on; and that such rare
instances as may have occurred
shou'd not in any sense be taken
as indicating the general feeling
in regard to the matter; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we, the stu
dents ot the Oregon Agricultural
College, deeply regret the un
fortunate occurrence of Friday
night, October 4th, and that we
place the stamp of our dissproval
upon all such actions; and be it
further
Resolved, That we, individ
ually and as a body, do all in our
power to prevent the practice of
hazing in any and all forms,
whatsoever, and that any person
or persons guilty of such conduct
be considered., an enemy sjf tbe
institution and unworthy to re
main in connection with the
same; and be it still further
Resolved, That a copy ot
these resolutions bespread upon
the minutes of the Student As
sembly, and that copies be furn
ished the press of the state.
