Meeting Of Executive Committee
of Association.

Tomorrow is the day for the second
annual intercollegiate field day for
the colleges of Oregon. The college
athletes and their friends will take
the capital city by storm Saturday.
Everyone Of the immense crowd OF
college students who will be in Salem
tomorrow will come prepared to join
his last breath in cheering for his
own college.
A number OF the teams arrived to-
day but the excursions will not reach
Salem until tomorrow forenoon. Each
college team will bring several hun
dred visitors along with IL to assist
them in maintaining the best of
spirits by encouraging them with the
college yell.
For the next thirty-six hours peace
full Salem will probably be forcibly re-
minded that the college students Of
this state are still in the land of the
living. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that our own Willamette may carry
off the championship for 1896.
The "rooter's" band Of old VILLAIN
ette will also be there and will re-
mind the immense throng Of their
presence by furnishing delightful (?)
music throughout the afternoon. The
band will number about sixteen and
will travel around in royal style, be-
hind fOur-horse team attached to
the Willamette bus. The boys have
prepared neat costumes and will make
a very striking appearance.
The handsome and much coveted
championship cup that has been on
exhibition the past week at $. w.
Thompson & Co.'S will be presented to
the winning team at the Intercol-
legiate concert in the opera house Sat
urday evening.
One OF the most interesting num-
bers OF the afternoons entertain
ment will be the competition drill
between the o. A. G. cadets OF Cor
wallis AID the militia troops stationed
at Salem. This drill will take place
at 1880 o'clock Saturday afternoon i'm
mediately in front Of nhe grand
stand.
The trial two mile bicycle race took
place at the fair grounds last evening
witnessed by u number OF university
students, The four men crossed the
tape IN the following order: Riggs.
Moore, Ogle, Richardson. As result
of the race Messrs. Riggs, Moore and
Ogle will represent Old Willamette
In the bicycle race Saturday.
Again il might be well TO mention
the price of admission viz: so cents: 25
cents to public school children A
great many are disposed 10 think this
an outrageous admission fee. While
II does seem rather large il is assured
that no one will ever regret having
spent the so cents. 1t appears that
the most excellent program of events
to be given is certainly worth the
price OF admission. The popular ii.
a. Q. band OF Salem will be present
and will enliyen the afternoons con-
tests with the best OF music be
sides other bands from different
parts of the valley are expected to be
In attendance, Come out and encour-
age this most beneficial OF tourna-
ments for college young men.
The entertainment 10 be given at
the 'opera house Saturday evening,
promises TO be one OF the most enioy-
able musical and literary performances
ever given in the city. The best
talent OF the various colleges, Is rem
represented on the program. The ad-
mission TO this performance is only 25
cents. Seats reserved at Patton Bros.

crowded to oyerhowing. Watch for
