TIC Farmers Defeated the Dudes BY a
Score of Fifteen to Five.
The game of football layed
by the second leans of O "A c
and U of.O on the college cam
pus Saturday afternoon wassthe
lmost snappy and Spectacular of
any contest seen on the home
field in two seasons. While the
college eleven dill not contain a
man that appeared in the game
against Pacific, univer ity the
week before, it put up a game
that will hustle the first team to
beat. The university employed
only second team men, and neith-
Ter team employed substitute.
This speaks well for the clean
ness of the contest. "a
There was just one feature to
burden the pleasure of the after
noon. A burden afflicted and
inflicted. Mr.. Burden, if you
please, physical Instructor at the
U. of O., whose speciality seems
to be in intruding himself into
places where he is not. wanted.
Like "Dr. Fell,'' he seems to
have a genius for being offensive,
and a tact for doing the wrong
thing all the time. II is unfor-
tunate that the university. has
such person in her faculty.
Her students are true sportsm en-,
and their behavior is always gen
tlemanly. But SO long as Mr..
Burden is permitted to force
himself in as official for the uni
. versity in any of its contests,
Ijust so long will the representa-
tives of that institution be III bad
repute in the athletic world. Mr..
/ Burden has been in Corvallis: be-
fore aid he is not welcome here.
If he isa gentleman that is :suf-
fcient reason for his staying
away, so far. as participation in
anything of a public nature Is
conceraed. If the members OIL
the university team are to be be,
lieved, he was not wanted as at
official in the contest Saturday,
but he offered his services, an6
they dared not offend by refusing
Ito accept them. A member O
the varsity team of SO, said
Sunday: Burden came neal
breaking up the first team tha+
year. He claims that he splaye6
substitute on. a Yale team, ane
T he wanted to coach the 7 varsity
His position as physical Sinstruc
tor gave him opportunity to i1ss
pressure, but we withstood him
He can never oficiate for tn,
varsity again.
Saturday he made himself MOS
obnoxious by his quibbling owe
trihes, and egetistical behavior
The other officials and the play
ers bore with him patiently, bu
the spectators were aggravated be
yond endurance. Not so in th
: games with Albany and Paeif
) university. Although. in eacl
case the coach of the visitin,
, team acted as an official, not. |
decision was questioned md ial
t went smoothly.
