SALEM CORVALLIS.
The MethOdiStS 0ut-ClaSSed By the
Farmers In Team Work.
Opinions and Criticisms Of the Home
Team and Notes on future Pro-
grams and Games.

The practice game at Corvallis re-
suited in showing what good stuff has
entered into the composition OF the
home team, and that they were out =
matched by the Farmers In team work
Score 10 TO o. The first half took 25
minutes. the second half took 20 min
utes. Salem had the kick off, Corvallis
took the ball and Salem's defensive work
was weak.
BY series Of plunges and tackles they
got the ball down to the ten yard line.
Salem made a good stand and forced
ball back twenty yards by plunges and
lost it on a tumble. Corvallis by re
peating previous tactics took it TO with
in a foot Of the goal.
Salem again made a fine stand car
rying the ball fifteen yards, when they
were held for donws and forced to try a
kick. A bad pass from Salems center
lost the bal. and lost the ball and Cor
wallis bucked it TO touch down.
The second half was a repetition Of the
first half. Corvallis superior condition
told and they were able TO make slightly
better gains over Salem's defences than
they we're on the first half.
In 10 minutes Corvallis made second
touchdown. Then on TO the end OF the
game Corvallis put up better defences
than Salem. The Salem team played
very even. and good ball for the work
they have had and the opportunities for
making players. 0linger, as leftend,
made the most brilliant defensive plays
and won considerable applause. The
salems made excellent individual
plays but as they have had practically
no coach could not put upthe team work.
Physically the Salem team was match
for the farmers. All they lack is disci-
pline and coaching, and that they will
have before the season Is over. Indica-
tions are that the home team will this
season excel any Salem team Of the
past.
Next Saturday Pacific University
team meet the Salem team.
II will be the drst game Of the intercol-
legiate series 10 be played at Salem.
The Methodists will now "buckle in"
and take advantage OF their practice ex-
perience with the Corvallis team and by
hard work may be able TO defeat their
Puritan antagonists.
