eaarks printed below, leaves no
Eeom for doubt as to the outcome.
Ea Eugene, the newspapers have
shade no claim to victory for the
University, prefetring to leave that
anaportant and often deceptive mat

strong and tolerably scientific, at
beast for a new team with the sea-
son but little more than half ended
They believe there is better show
to win than the college has had in
gears, and know that should the
Gong end of the score rest with the
sBeher side, the University men will
realize that the contest was with
antagonists worthy of their best
efforts.

mea has been secret, and but little
is known of their work. Most the
players are said to be in fairly good
condition, and it is hoped that
all the regular team will be on the
