Those who attended the football
game on OAC field Saturday after
noon got their moneys worth. The
contest was between teams from the
Corv allis and Salem public schools,
and was as hot as ever seen on the
local field. The lads were there to
play and that Is what they did with
reckless abandon, affording more
sport for the side lines and grand
stand than games Of far more note
and higher admission money. The /
Corvallis boys had the kickoff and
stopped the ball on Salem's 35.yard
line, and during the rest OF the half
kept 1t in Salem's territory. In the
second half Salem kicked off, and by
bucking the line the, Corvallis boys
soon ran the ball out OF their own aud
Into Salen's territory, where with
hard work they finally ran 1t down to
Salem's four yard line. There they
lost the ball, but quickly forced Sa-
lem to punt to them from Salem's
six or seven yard line, and were in
lair way for a touchdown when time
was called. The final score of the
game was naught to naught,
