Salem Wins Saturdays Football Game
Other Notes.


4, Other Notes.
The football game Saturday after
noon between the second University
team and Junior team from Chemawa
was extremely interesting, but owing
to the inclemency of the weather the
game was witnessed by only a few
Salemites. Both teams were quite
evenly matched, as was evident from
the playing. During the first half
the Salem team scored one touch
down, but failed to kick goal, and
when time was called for first half the
score stood to nothing in favor Of
Salem. At three different times in
the second half, the Salem team had
the pigskin within ten feet of their
coveted goal, when they lost
the ball. But the next time they sent
Max Miller, the plucky full-back over
the line, and scored another touch
down and again failed to kick the
goal: score to 0. The Indian boys
seemed to be aroused at this, and be-
gan to play hard. BY a beautiful end
play the "red-skins" in a run of about
forty yards, scored touch down and
kicked a goal just as time was called.
Score 8 to in favor of Salem. The
game was one of the fairest ever seen
at Salem, neither team being disposed
to adopt unfair methods in order to
carry the day.
ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
The prospects are favorable to a
pleasant Thanksgiving day this year
and no doubt large number of foot
ball admirers from Salem will take

nifty offered them for pleasant river
excursion and go to Newberg to wit

cite University and Pacific college |
teams. A great many have signitied
their intention of going, add your
name to the list and let's have large
delegation from Salem. An unusually
reduced fare has been secured over one
Of the popular river steamboats,.
