of Albany referred the game and S. II.
hcAllister, Of Eugesc, was umpire.
Their decisions wore ulanifcstly fair aud
correct and thers was no kicking by
either t..u Ill.,. Mr. ~as the snjoymeat Of

ling or ro&sA playing.
The university teaNl won the kickoff,
putting the ball we'll down toward their
goal. The farmers Oh the lineup for
scrininage Immediately demonstrated
their superiority and made gains by end
runs and line buckins at will. They
pushed the ball rapidly down the line,
and after only eight minutes playing, Sc
cured~a Touchdown. Gault kicked goal.
Score, o. A. {. 6, Eugene o.
Then the farmers repeated the process
and by excellent playing made another
touchdowh i'll ten minutes. Goal, failed.
Score, .. A. {. 10, Eugene o.
Upts this time the prospects for an ill.,
terestins game were very poor. The
farmers were having too easy time.
But Oh tac next lineup, Eugene getting
the bail, Kuyken8ail made a fine end
run for IS yards. This gave the univer-
sity team courage and by gosd hard
playing gradually pushed tie ball down
the field, making touchdown, but failed

sEcoND HALF,
| The Eugene boys kept up their spirit.
but the farmers put little extra vim, in
their playing and had their opponents
we'll in rain all the time. All tha o. A.
e. lads played like steam engines and
their team work vas excellent. They
made three teuehdowns in succession by
magnificent land often time brilliant
work. Holgate made splesdid run of
rs yards and Gault psxnded the Dudes
line repeatedly for gains. Darkness be-
gan to interfere with the players in the
middle of the second half, aud after the
third touchdown foI the faruers in the
half both sides resorted to kicking out of
bounds. Eugene finally occurred the ball
on kick and Kuyk endall ran down the
field for touchdown, aided by the dark
ness. Kick inte- place failed. Or the
kickoff Corvallis got the ball and work :
ed. it speedily down the field and had it,
within short distaace:of the opponents
goal when time was'cailed on account of
darkness. There was. II minutes more
Of play, but as the Tcsuft would doubt
less Be only an increase Of the farmers,
geal both sides readily consented 10 i .it.
;. .ThI day, was splendid aud the grounds,
notwithstanding the heavy storms Of the
days before, wcre i'll an ideal condition.
The aCorvallisites were very quiet, after
their victory aud did not ruffle the feel
ings of their vanquished opponents by.
ancessinsly growing.
As previously stated, the farmers put
up magnificent game. highly co,npli-
mentary.to themselves and to Ar. Bloss.
thsir excellent coach: Pap Hayseed was
in every play. soHe was always out in the
interference aud for center, made some
surprising tackles. His whole heart aud
head were i'll the work, and both organs
are above the ordinary. Bcdine, though
suffering from an accidental knifs wound
in kis leg, seemed to be in perfect form
and was unmovable except when he
wished to; nis~e. Bedie is an old standby
and it is very gratifying to their friends
that the 6nai season of Pap and Beaie
should be. SO glorious. Elgin would be
! good man in any position. While =
new player, he makes up in shrewdness
aud "catchonness," what lie may lack in
experience. Walters was pitted against
a strong man and fine player, and it is
not faint praise, but strong commenaa-
ten, when it is said that Walters held
his own. His ankle gave him some pain
| but he buckled into business from be-
ginning to end. Thurston exhibited his
vast superiority over his last years play
ing. He tackled finely and ran strongly
when he had the ball. Gyp is ore Of
the best rnen en- the team when all are
good. Simpson, on end, was active and
earnest. He has grit, willingness and
endurance. 1t would be difficult to find
better ena than Mcbride. He is not
very large, but he is strong and quick and
! has an "eye. like the eagle Arch
| Kruse showed great improvement at
sualter. He is 4 new player, but his
| work Saturday was Immense" He is
reliable, very necessary quality III the
quarter back. Scro:gins' work at aalf,
a-liile very good iii the main, was hardly
UP 10 his usual grade. The stateaaent is
hardly refcction, as those who have
scen him play before we'll understand.
He missed ore or two opportunities, but
this may not have been his fault. Alto
| rether, he was a strong man and a
good player. Doa Helgato played bet
ter than u:ual. He was good OH d.fen-
