WILLIAMS WANTS
TWO DAYS. SPORT
New England Intercollegiate Ath-
IetiC Association to Be Asked
to Have Trials a Day Before
the Final Test

The followers and supporters of the
games of the New England Intercolle-
giate Athletic Association in this city
will he given two days of sport this
year instead of one, if the plan Of the
Williams College Athletic Association
is adopted at the meeting of the big
association in Boston Saturday, Feb. 8.
Another attempt viii be made to secure
the games for the Worcester Oval by
Frank Fl. Bigelow who will attend ~
meeting for the purpose Of extending
the Worcester invitation in accordance
with the custom Of former years.
The changes in the program Of the
meet proposed by the Williams College
athletes are radical and provide for
two days of sport with the trials on
Friday afternoon and the finals on Sat
urday when the games are held. The
williams College association will ask
the New England body to have the
trials Friday afternoon in the 120-
yards hurdle, 220-yards hurdle. 220-
yards nat, 440-yards dash, SSO-yards
run. putting shot, throwing hammer.
throwing discus and running high
jump.
1t is claimed that with all the trials
and finals on Saturday. the program is
too long and that the spectators and
atheleteS become urea DeIOTe the HndI
event Is decided, and in this way the
interest Is not kept up.
The trials in the field events is espe-
cially desirable because Williams claims
the big fields viii be narrowed down to
the five leaders in the trials, and those
five will be enough to cause the events
inside the track to last through the
afternoon. especially as the most spec
tacular events-the pole vault and the
running broad jump-wil he carried out
on the original plan.
with the trials Friday afternoon.
williams will ask that the program
for the last day be arranged as follows:
100-yards dash. trial heats; 120-yards
hurdle. semi-finals; 1-mile run; 40
yards dash; 100-yards, final heat; $50
yards run. final heat; 220yards hurdle.
semi finals; 22O-yards fiat. semi-finals:
emile run; 22O-yards hurdles. final
heat: 220-yards fiat, final heat
It is also the intention to ask the
association to cut QUIT he bicycle race.
which Is not considered an attractive
event on account Of the danger and the
troubles that have resulted in carrying
out the race I'm former years.

A Wonderful Plow.

: EDITOR GAZETTE We had
quite a little excitement the
other day at Hugh Clicks, where
a field test was made ef the Ben
ecia Disc Plow, which is handled
by J. H. Simpson. Several Of
the farmers gathered in to see it
work, as we are all looking for
something new in the plow line.
The lightness of draft and the
excellent character of the work
are pronounced the finest ever
seen in this part of the eoun-
try by all present. 1t worked
equally we'll in black and red
dobe and prarie soil. Three
horses drawing a 2-disc plow,
cutting 12 inches each and 8
inches deep, are worked no hard
er than they would be if draw
ing a 16.ineh walking plow at
the same depth, and the soil is
turned over and pulverized in a
far better manner than any
mould-board plew can possibly
do the work. One man and
four horses with this plow can do
as much work, and do it better,
than two men and six or eight
horses do with walking plews.
Yours,
PLoW Boy.

Animal Husbaudry.

The annual report of the Ore
gen Agricultural College and the
Experiment Station for the year
ending June 80, 1901, has just
reached US. It is full of inferfn-
alton pertaining to the college
aud station affairs. In his re-
port, DR.. James Withyeombe,
vice-director or the experiment
station, touches on "auimal hns-
bandry" in way that will be OF
interest to stock raisers. Speak
ing Of cattle and sheep, he says:
The results of the experiment
of feeding steers were not salts
factory, owing to the continued
wildness of the animals ahd
their failure to become reeonci1-
ed to confinement. For this
reason they conld not be induced
to eat sufficient food to give
profitable returns. This points
to the Importance of an effort on
the part Of farmers to maintain a
mere highly domesticated eehdi-
ton of the live stock Of the
farm.
Experiments in sheep feeding
under sheltered and unsheltered
conditions were undertaken. For
this work II fall shern wether
lambs were selected, which were
as uniform both in size and
breeding as could be obtained.
These we're divided into two lots.
Six of these lambs were placed
in a clean enclosure without
shelter, and the other six were
sheltered In a comfortable, clean,
we'll ventilated and we'll lighted
pei. The ratiens OF the two
lots were the same, and they ate
practically an equal quantity,
except the waste was slightly
greater with the unsheltered,
| lot I.
Al the end of the feeding lot I
had gained 155 lbs; lot 2, 14e
lbs. They were then shorn and
lot produced 81 lbs. of TN.
washed wool; lot 2, 27.75 lbs.
Ten pounds of wool from each
lot were carefully tub-washed and
dried, with the result that the
sample taken from let I. aftel
this treatment, weighed TT
lbs; lot 2, 8 lbs. This showee

gain in live weight, lot 2 mad,
the more profitable gain, whel
the value of the wool was take1

Chefnawa VS.. o. A. G.

Tomorrow the Chemawa
eleven will meet the o A G team
on the college campus, and the
result is by no means foregone
conclusion. While the indians
have been defeated in both con-
tests in which they have partiei-
pated this season, Chemawa is
always hard nat to crack. The
farmers, also may be counted
upon to put up far better con-
test than that of last Saturday.
They have good staff in them
and Captain Gault knows how
to bring 1t out. They are by no
means discouraged over their
defeat in their game with AL.
bany. They regard that as
merely a preliminary skirmish,
and while they are none to SAN
guine Of victory tomorrow, still
they expect to render a good ae-
eount Of themselves by the end
of the season.

Mrs. Fred Buchanan took her
place at the piano, and while the

took a position ia the center of
the front parlor, where an i'm

by the groom, was pronounced
by the Rev, Frank L. Moore.
The bride was attired in white

After Ten Years.

| After an absence Of ten years,
Professor Ed Lyman, now 0
Shanghai, China, visited eli
friends in Corvallis this week
Ten years ago Professor Lyniar
was a fellow student with the
GAZETTE man at the Agricul
! trral College. After two year:
in that institution be went te
California and entered Stanford
university, graduating in the
same class with Professor Shell
ton, now a member Of the facul-
ty of the University Of Oregon.
Mr.. Lyman then taught in Z
high school in Southern Califor.
MIA for ore year, and later was
chemist in "a large beet sugar
factory.
Three years ago he went to
Chiha to accept the chair OF
chemistry in the Polytechnic
school ia Shanghai,
Three weeks before the attack
upon the foreign representatives
at Pekin, he was in that city,
and only by the merest accident
missed being there during the
siege. He was in Shanghai,
however, during all the season OF
hostilities.
Recently the Chinese govern
ment offered him the position Of
instructor in chemistry III tie
Nang Yang college, at Shanghai,
which he accepted, He leaves
today or tomorrow for San Fran
cisco, from which city he will
depart six weeks hence fer China.
Professor Leman's success
thus early in life is no surprise to
his frieEds, who recognized it
him in his first years at the 0 A
c the qualities which make fa1
and deserve success. Tuesday,
he visited the college, and at the
request of Professor Shelton,

Nang Yang college is govern.
ment institution, largely attend.

The Chiuaman is quick to learn,
but slow to reason. He is stu
dious, thoroughly in earnest,

memory areremarkable, but When
required to resort to original re-
search, helplessaess overtakes
him. The Chinese system Of ed.

Fast Travelling.

= :. Clarence Starr returned home,
Tuesday, trom Seaside, Oregon,
where he had been employed for
several months in a sawnill.
He relates an amusing story at
the expense of the little pump
kin vine railroad that runs frem
Warrenton to Seaside. While
en- route home, travelling over
this line, the train slowed down,
that is, it went slower than
usual, ana the whistle was re-
peatedly blown in vain efforts to
"shoo" a COW off the track. 1t
seemed impossible to make her
give the right of way and a
wearied passenger finally agreed
to give her a start, which he did.
She seemed quite alarmed at the
demonstrations Of the passenger
and, throwing her tail to the
breeze, continued her way on
down the track at her liveliest
gait. The passenger climbed
back onto the "whole train"
and the engine was turned loose
to make up the time lest. After
about half an hours run the
train was again slowed down
and the shrill whistle resounded
aloag the coast. The passenger
inquired what was the matter
now. He was answered by the
conductor who stated that they
had caught up with the COW.
