o. A. C. ATHLETES AT sALRM.

The Hoag and the Elmore left their docks
Saturday morning with crowds of Corvallis
people who went to cheer the o. A. c. con-
testants at the annual intercollegiate field
meet at Salem. Additional people boarded
| the toats at Albany and Independence.
The program of the day was carried out at
Salem fair grounds, and huge crowd gath
cred to witness the athletic performances ol
the various colleges.
The first event was contest for points be-
tween Co. F, O. A c. cadets and Go I, O.
n. 6. of Salem. The O. A. G. boys showed
themselv grandiy here, and were heartily
cheered in their various movements. Their
splendid training and faithful attention to
duty won them the victory and lots of glory.
They were given credit for 81 points out of a
possible 40, while their opponents secured
but l5 points.
Corvallis boys showed up well in the ath
letic numbers, and considering the small
number of men entered and the num-
Der of events in which the o. a. G. was
listed, they won the highes percentage.
Three frsts were won by the o. A. G.
boys. Brady Burnett captured the mile run
handily. Bodine walked away with the
hammer throw and had six feet to spare;
while Colvig Won the 220-yard Dash in very
close race and lowered the northwest record.
Don Ray came in second in the 100 yard
dash, and may be given first place as the
winner is accused Of being professional.
Burnett was hair breadth second in the
SS0yard run, while Rusk in the mile walk,
and Hague in the broad jump, secured third
places.
Corvallis people present were well salts
fed with the performance of their boys, and
the o. A. c. made decidedly the best inn
preston with the majority of the people pres
ent.
Lieut.. Dentler is to be congratulated upon
the fine showing made by the cadets, and he
can hardly be blamed if his voice betrays a
proud feeling.
Prof. Ed. Lance has proven his ability as
an athletic trainer. He was valuable assist.
ant to Mr.. Eph Cameron, and to their efforts
is due no small share'o the credit for the fine
performance of the o. A. G. at Salem.
There was noticeable absence of betting
Saturday, the only events that soemed to
call forth the betting spirit being the mile
run and hammer throw, and in these Or
wallis came home with Eugene cash.
Eugene Won the cup by large number of
points. The O. A. G. boys should learn a
lesson fro n Saturdays contest, and go down
next year determined try for the champion
ship. Send men for every entry and plenty
of them. Their motto this year seemed to be,
. First place or no entry" aud made no eff
fort for team glory.
Burnett, Colvig, Ray and Crawford go to
Portland Saturday to enter the NJ. A. n. C..
invitation games, where they will be entered
against the Portland Athletic Club, Town
sead Athletic Association, M. A. A. Club,
and several of the college associations and
clubs throughout the state. We expect to
b .ar good reports Of their doing.
Commenting on the military feature Of
lie day the Salem Statesman has the fol-
Living: AT 2:I5 the musicians call
brought forth the forty eight young o. A. G.
cadets under command of Capt. F. E. Ed
wards. Their appearance was the signal for
, vociferous round OF applause from the spec
,tors and their every movement showed the E
"a 'eful training to which they had been sub
ected during the past school year. Cheer
after cheer was extended them and also to
heir worthy instructor, Lieut. Dentler. The
1rill was for points, the maximum being 40
md the result of the markings was: 0. A. c.
out of. possible 40, o. N. q. l5.''
