It was $50 O'Clock before the result
OF the high jump was announced at
the fair grounds. This greatly lntrud-
ed upon the entertainment at the
Reed In the evening. However, a
great many remained at ths grounds
TO the last event.
IN THE EVENING.
Only small audience enjoyed the
excellent musical and literary enter
talnment, given at the Reed Saturday
evening. The best talent from the
visiting colleges was represented on
the program. The excellence OF the
entertainment was strongly in evl-
dence since each number received a
generous encore, TO which the partici-
pants kindly responded. The many
friends OF Prof. Heritage and Wink
Ter were disappointed in their inabll-
ity TO perform. Prof. Heritage acted
as announcer at the fair grounds,
which caused him to take cold. The
Corvallis Mandolin club was unable to
be present.
During the program Prof. r. A.
Heritage presented the handsome
championship cup, to II. Coleman,
president of the Eugene Athletic
team.
There were no professionals" in
the Willamette university team.
The rooter band of w. u made
good appearance. The bus, in which
they were carried was richly deco
rated in cardinal and old gold.
Willamette's mascot, "Pug" Rich
ardson, was prominent figure upon
the track and no one will believe 1t
was a failure on his part to bring
about the desired result for the Salem
team.
The Eugene delegation cheered with
considerable vim every time point
was recorded In favor Of the U. OF o.
The Eugene girls certainly did their
part in winning the cup.
The o. A. c., OF Corvallis, had a
larger delegation at the fair grounds
than any other visiting team. Their
yell Twas given a great many times
during the afternoon.
Company f., o. A. G. cadets made
handsome appearance, showing the
most careful training. Their move
ments were almost as one man. 1t
was very evident from the perform
ance OF the cadets Saturday that
practice makes perfect"
The Salem militia did remarkably
we'll for body of men having only
weekly drills. They executed several
difficult movements quite well, how
ever.
The Eugeue delegation brought
money as we'll as "sass" with them.
Murphy wv. ~ is almost unlver-
sally conceded TO be the prettiest 300
yard hurdler In the state. He easily
cleared every one OF his hurdles Satur-
day which cannot be said OF his COM
petitors.
1t Is evident from Saturdays COM
petltive drill that the farmers" las
the O. A. @. boys are called under
stand military tactics equally as well
as they do the art of farming.
or course II would not have been
right TO have had the N. w. record
for the mile walk broken Saturday.
McAlphln, of the NJ. A. G, OF Port
land who acted as referee, holds the
N. w. record for the mile walk and IL
would not have been fair TO lower II.
And so the referee said Sonneman
and Byars ran. Well IL was very
evident these young men made their
competitors move quite rapidly 10

Nc Alphln, OF the NJ. A. A. c., was
Justly denounced for his ruling In the
mile walk. His decision was most
unjust 10 Old Willamette who objected
most strenously but TO no avail, SON.
nemann did not get of OF walk at
all but IL is reported that McAlphin,
who holds the northwest record for
the mile walk, fearing that the record
might be lowered by Sonneman, ruled
that gentleman of the track for not
striking hls entire foot on the ground.
On the last 100 yards, however, Byars
by magnificent squirt passed De-
Lashmutt (U. o. aud passed under
the tape first. But the referee also
disqualified ByaS from the race
accusing him (Byarsl OF running dur
ing the last 30 yards OF the walk
The referee received hiss from the
large crowd for his unfair ruling.
Byars NV. w. made magnificent
spurt at the close OF the mile wgtk
