the Two Teams.

Out at,the, college, preparations
are on for the game Of football to be
PLAYED next Saturday afternoon be-
tween the OAC and State Univer-
sity elevens, AS the day approach
es local interest increa ses, and it is
already certain that the attendance
will be the largest seen on OAC
field in many day. The new
grand stand, where those who do
not desire to stand on the side lines
NAV find comfortable seat, with
a complete view of every play and
every part of the field, will attract
spectators who otherwise might
n.t attend, especially in case the
day should be rainy.
In forecasts of what the size Of
the crowd may be various figures
are given. None estimate the
number at less than 1000, while
some guess that 900 persons will
watch the scrimmage. At the
Willamette game, the crowd numb.

were OAC students and Corvallis

A dispatch to the Oregonian last
Sunday from Eugene, states that
the University men will come in a
special coach on Friday, and bring
along a carload of rooters. To this
contingent is to be added large
number of Benton county farmers,
especially of the younger genera
tion, who have expressed pur-
pose to see the game. With 600 per
esus at the willamette game, and

at q far higher tension, it is to be
seea that figures suggested above
as the possible attendance are not
beyond the bounds of the probable.
This week, the collegians are
practicing in secret. Whether
they are working out new forma-
sions or are anxious to prevent a
discovery of their signals, is mat.
ter of conjecture.
Of few changes in the positions of
players there are hints, butas to what
will be the fnal lineup of the men, |
nobody on the outside knows.

qualification to the players. He is
TO be full back, and will certainly
be able to hold his own against the
powerful player that the Univer-

Another change of position is

do as good work as will be done
by the players against whom they
