Comment on O. A.C.
Team This Year
Other Local
News.

The athletic department of the
Oregonian prints an all Oregon
College football team. 1t gives
three places to Oregon Agricul
sura1 College. The team it names
with substitutes is:
Fullback, Pilkington of Oregon
Agricultural College.
Quarter, Snyder, Albany Col
aege.
Halves, Templeton,. University
of Oregon; Root, Oregon Agricul-
sural College.
Center, Burnough, Oregon Agri.
cultural College.
Guards, Kerron University OF
Oregon; Jarvis; Albany College.
Tackles, Watts capt. University
of Oregon; Thayer, University OF
Oregon.
Ends, Jordan, University of o. e.
gon; Francis, Albany College.
Substitutes, Bundy, Oregon Ag
ricultura1 College; Nash, Agricul-
eural College; Morrison. Albany
College; Goodrich, University Of
Oregon; Chandler, University of
Oregon; Mckinney, University of
Oregon.
Concerning Captain Bert Pill
kington, it says: BERT Pilking-
ton of the Oregon Agricultural
College, is far and away the best
candidate for the position of full
back. Pilkington played for sew
eral seasons on the eleven of Nc
Minnville Col ege, and at the be.
ginning of the college year entered
the State School at Corvallis. He
is a big fellow, strong and active
as cat, and always com bines
splendid headwork with his play
ing. His work in the Corvallis
Eugene game of this year was an
exkiidbftion.sn itself. and every con-
test of the season showed practical
ly the same result. Pilkington,
however, is in class by himself
so far as Oregon fullbacks are con-
cerned, his only superior in the
northwe=t existing in the person of
<'Hez" Brown the stalwart Whit
man player"
Concerning Root, the paper says
Root plays the game for all he
Is worth, although comparatively
inex experienced. His work in the
Corvallis Washington game was of
very high order, and when the
farmers found their chance to carry
the pigskin over the Seattle goal
line, Root did the stunt in very
manner, after series
of pretty end runs and tandem
plays"
It says of Burnough at center,
choice of a center is hard
to determine, as Burnaugh of Cor
wallis, and Mckinney of Oregon,
are almost evenly matched. Bur
nough, while 10 pounds lighter, is
given the place. Burnough is
more active than Mckinney has
played the game longer, and for
these reasons he is selected.
Of other OAC players 1t says:
Mash of the Agricultural College,
was out of the game during a great.
er parf of the season, so no just
of his work can be made.
Bundy of the Agricultural Col
lege, is promising tackle, and ia
another season will show great
provement.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 13,-The su-
prems court today handed down a
decision which is regarded by Chris
tian Scientists as a vindication of
their doctrines. A citizen of Dub
lin, Ga, Christian Scientist, re-
fused TO give medicine to his sick
child. The child died and the faith
er was arrested and fined $500. The
case was appealed to the state SUI
preme court, which today reversed
the judgment of the lower court,
holding that failure to give medi-
cine to children when ill is not
violation of the laws of the state.

Havana, Dec IA definite
treaty of commercial reciprocity
between Cuba and the United
States was signed at II o'clock
by General Bliss and Secretary
Zaldo and Monies. It lacks only
the signatures of Secretary Hay and
and Senior Quesada, and the appro-
val of the United States and Cuban
Senates to make it operative.
Although the treaty provides for a
uniform reduction of 20 per cent
from the present tariff charges on
Cnban products entering the United
States, parallel list Of products
has been drawn up in which is set
forth the reduction on each item
made by Cuba and the United Sta
tes respectively. 1t is i'm possible
now to make any material changes
in this list.

oAC WON
Defeated McMinnv11le Team at Basket
Bal1-Twenty to Two.

They played basket bali at the
Armory Friday night. The game
was between the McMinnville Col
lege and OAC teams of girls, and
was the first intercollegiate match
of the season. 1t resulted in sig
nal victory for the OAC players,
the score being twenty to two.
The playing of the local team was
especially fine. They threw goals
cnerring1y. and handled the ball
with such skill that the visitors
had but few opportunities to fondle
it. The tive points made by Nc
Minnville were on fouls by the
OAC players, A large crowd was
in attendance, and the game was
very much enjoyed.
The boys basket ball team is in
hard training, and the development
of fine aggregation is expected.
The first team has not yet been
selected The first game occurs
in the Armory with Newberg Col
lege Friday January 9th, and fthere
after basket ball events will follow
each other in quick and interesting
succession, The prospects are that
while the season lasts, interest in
the game will be very great.

ALL TRACES OF PNEUMONIA DlSAf-
PEAR-A COMFORTABLE DAY PASSED.

Archbishop Corrgan has recovered from nlS
relapse of Tuesday, and yesterday was the MUS
comfortable daY since his illness began. Foi
the first time solid food was given him three
times. All traces of the pneumonia have dlsap-
peared and the doctors say he is again on the
road to recovery.
Among the callers yesterday were W. bourne
Cochran and Father Ducey. The latter drove
up to the archepiscopal residence in ruoDer
tired trap and tapped the reporter gently on the
cheek when asked if he would like 10 hear the
physicians bulletin.
There was only one consultation yesterday. IN
the afternoon The bulletin read: The Arch
bishop is less weak and is progressing favor
ably, eating solid food"
DR.. Reyes, however, made his regular three
visits. He said at the close of the day: The
Archbishop is progressing nicely. To-day is the
most comfortable day he has had in the last
three days. He slept well last night, though his
rest was somewhat broken by restlessness- tie
is partakng of solid food and has had roast
beef, cereals, milk and coffee. Yesterday he had
two glasses of champagne, and will have the
same number to-day. He is stronger to-day,
but cannot sit up yet to take his meals. He is

says they viii cost about 81 30 apiece. and that

AS was expected, there was an animated dis
cussion over the sign question when President
Cantor moved his resolution in the Board of
Estimate for appropriation Of $4,000 Presi-
dent Swanstrom agreed that the work was
necessary. and asked like consideration fer
Brooklyn.
Controller Grout objected TO the cost He be-
neved the signs were necessary, but thought a
L1treets were not lighted sufficiently to make an
ordinary sign decipherable, the department Of
gas and electricity should be held responsible.
Mr. Cantor declined TO modify his request. The
borough presidents" he said, have the right TO
see that the streets are properly kept and
marked
''They have" retorted Mr.. Grout IF they
get the money, but this board has the right to
say what money they shall have"
After considera bic argument Mr.. GrOut said
he would vote the $4,000 representing 100
lamps if the other boroughs would moderate
their demands for Illuminated signs. Mr.. swan
strom thought Brooklyn should have at least
seven hundred such signs. and as many more
plain ones
Mr. Low suggested that the borough presi-
dents furnish further details Of the needs Of
their boroughs for signs, and get the authorize
ton of the Board Of Aldermen, The expenditure
must be made through a bond issue, which needs
the Endorsement of that board
On the motion Of the Controller the subject
vas laid over until the next meeting Of the
