FARMERS VS.. TEACHERS,
An Interesting Game at Mon.
mouth, in Which the Former
Were Victorious by a.
Score of 81 to e.

The delegation that attended the foot.
i, ball game at Monmouth returned trium-
phant, the reason being that the o. A. C.'s
finished the game with score OF 80 to 6
in their favor.
The game was one of intense in terest
throughout. Although the playing was
rather slow and some fumbles were made,
yet straight football was played throughout
and there was but little fouling and no
slugging at any time.
Monmoath's heavy men bucked the line
almost entirely. The Hsyseeds during
the first part of the game formed close in
reference and made end runs. Their tao.
tics were changed, however, after Terrell
retired and line bucking was in order, u.s.
ually for good gains.
| Although the score seems a little ono.
sided, yet the game was anything but a
walkover and our boys had to play hard
for every point made. Monmouth made
their single touchdown through the inabil-
ity of some of the Hayseeds' rush-lins men
to play low. pretty play was the first
touchdown for the O. A. C.s. Terrell, OF
the Farmers, kicked the ball for the open
ing play. 1t did not rise high, but was
hit and bounced back from one OF the
"School-teachers." Desborough got it and
punted it far down the field. Terrell was
close to it when it came down and when
one of the other side again fuinbled it,
Terrell had the ball over the line in an in.
slant.
During the game, Burnett's good play
ing deserves particular notice; Terrell
played fine game until his unlucky tackle,
which laid him out for the rest of the game,
and Desborough then bucked the line IN lis
place in great STYLE Desborough's kicks
for goal for some reason were weak, OF
goals bsiug all that were kicked. God
win made some good runs, but as rule,
did not follow his interference close enough.
Lyman Kelsay played during most of the
game, stopping his man every time; McAlis-
ter made run all by himself in one case,
and it took four Monmouth men to stop
him. Both teams played better often
sive than defensive game, and great i'm
provemsnt could be made in the quickness
of lining up, etc.
During the game Prof. Lloyd. of Forest
Grove, umpired very impartially and gave
good satisfaction. Mr.. Otto Taylor refereed
to every ones satisfaction and Mr.. Viney
acted as linem
After the game fine supper was served
at the school boarding hall to the two

In the evening, the Farmers repaired to
the chapel, where a most interesting pro.
gram was rendered by the Normal students.
Il consisted of declamations, vocal and
| instrumental music, tableaus, etc. After
the program came an informal reception,
during which the O. A. c. boys, in many
cases, were made converts to the Normal
school system of CO education. The team,
through Pres. Bloss, expressed its apprcci-
alton of the manner in which it had been
enter tanned both On and off the field.
Especial thanks were also due Prest.
Campbell of t he Normal school for the un-
firing way in which he rendered our team
