Z. j. Atwood delegate from our
college Y. NJ. G. A. returned Thursday
morning from the summer college at
Casadero, California. Mr.. Atwood re-
ports fine time and very profitable
meeting. The right eye aud cheek OF
our delegate have assumed unusual
proportions since he left us but Mr..
Atwood lays the blame on the poison
oak. Since the gentleman's veracity
Is unquestioned his statement is
accepted, although appearances are
rather suspicious.
Our athletic team with Captain G.
G.. Murphy and Director II. Il. Brown
had It's picture taken Monday after
noon. Little "Pug" Richardson, Will
lamette's mascot, is also Included In
the picture. A number OF the photo
graphs are displayed In the several
show windows Of the principal busi-
ness houses. The following notice
over Captain Murphy's signature had
been previously posted In conspicuous
places about the Railways: "An
members OF athletic team meet at $3.50
p. m. Monday for the purpose Of
having picture taken, IL is urged
that no one be absent as this picture
MUST go down 20 posterity as the
winning team OF 1896" We trust that
the confidence Mr.. Murphy has in our
team may not be misplaced, aud that
the championship cup may be won by
Willamette this year.
