Ready to Meet Keane or Duffy in a
 Sprint. .
 We will stand by Piper Donovan until he is proven down and out. We are afraid of no professional sprinter who is digging holes at the present stage of the game, and will match with anyone, providing we have eight weeks to get ready in," says Charles Hoey of Natick. T will back Piper against Tom Keane for $500 a side in good money for 100 yards, the race to be run in eight weeks. You also say that if Arthur F. Duffy wants to come in the race we will make it three cornered race for 1000. Keane has known for some time that was ready to put. good, long green against any that he has to get a chance to prove my opinion that Piper Donovan is not a dead one, and all that he needs to do to get match on is to accept this pro- position"

New Haven, Oct 2.--While the Yale coaches profess to be more than pleased with the showing of the candi- dates under their tutelage, it must be confessed that the Blues greatest weakness seems to be lack of sub- stitutes. Especially is this true of the line. Batchelder and Bissell are not in the same class with Boomer and Kinney. Back of the line the weak
 ness is not so apparent. Looking at the game as played against Tufts, no one now wonders at the call for more line men. So far Yale has sprung no new plays, except a drop-back tackle play. It was used with telling effect against Tufts. ,

Ithaca, Oct 2.-Apparently Cornelps chief fault. as shown in her game against Alfred college. was the effort at individual work. There was all most an entire absence of team play, and the fumblihg was sometimes fear full. Unless these defects are reme- died Cornell will stand a poor chance later. As an offset to all this the men played with great energy. It was due to their fast work that they were >le to run up a respectable score. They were also strong in their defense and it told against their lighter antagonists. McAllister proved himself a star and his work stands out above all others. He almost alone was responsible for two of his teams touchdowns.

 Record

Record. .-
 Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct 2.-That per feeted pacing wonder, Dan Patch. made an attempt to lower his mark of 1:59 at the Oakley Park grand circuit meeting yesterday, but the conditions were strongly against him, and the best he could do was to pace the mile in 2:01%. The track was slow from the morning rain an6sgthe wind was blowing hard when the kria1 was made,
 Ina Buckeye purse for 2:20 pacers was won by Pan Michael fafter King Direct had taken the first heat. Pan Michael won the last three heats un- der drive. Another rattling contest was that between Fannie billiard and 2:06 pace Scott Hudson won the 2:13 tret in straight heats with Guy Fortune after a struggle through the stretch with The Questor, driven by Geers. .5s.4t. To-day Prince Alert. 1:57, will at tempt to lower his record.
 Holyoke, Mass Oct 2.-only two races were on yesterdays card at the fall meet of the Holyoke Park associ- alton. In the 2:23 trot GlenWood, Jr, was thought to be a ringer" and was protested by O. E.

There was no proof, however and the horse was allowed to race Glenwood, jr, had the speed, but broke badly in the last two heats and the ia, vorite finally won.

Cambridge, Oct 2.--When the game with Bowdoin was finished it gave lit tie for the Harvard men to crow over. To be pushed down the field for forty five yards on straight line plays is not to the liking of the coaches. All. or nearly all of these gains, were made through Marshall. who is rounding to very slowly. He has strength enough, but he does not know how to use it. The failure of Brill, the star tackle from Exeter. to pass his entrance ex- aminations is severe disappointment to Harvard sympathizers. He will en- ter as a special student. but will not be available until next year. His loss is a severe one, for heavy material is badly needed.

Philadelphia, Oct 2.-Pennsylvania has played two of her games and never has a team shown such a reversal of form. After the first all was con gratulations. The same is true of the second but for another reason-that they had not been beaten. But for an accident to Fullback Horn the Red and Blue would in all probability have been dragged in the mud. The team fumbIed alarmingly and there was much ainless line plunging. The coaches are at loss to account for the, miserable showing. It was not that the team was weak in any one gsarticular spot, but just a general all around slump. Tn consequence the en- tire team was put through q course of sprouts yesterday. and the practice Swas the hardest they have yet had
 But 1t showed its good effects. The men worked well together before the aAtsuUs -s4l

Is Corvallis Shut Out?

A joint committee composed
of representatives from different
valley towns, the local Board Of
Trade, Chamber of Commerce
and the Travelinemen's Protec-
tive Association met at the office
of Richard Koehler, manager of
the Southern Pacific lines in
Oregon, and presented their pro-
test against the present train ser
vice in a formal manner. After
talking over the matter for some
time Manager Koehler suggested
the use of a small motor, now
used between Dallas and Air1ie,
to connect the other and more
important. town with the Dallas
and Sheridan trains.
This change would make it
possible for the independence
and McMinnville people to make
the trip to Portland, spend sew
eral hours here and return the
same evening; also for Portland
people to make the trip up the
valley and return the same day.
Mr.. Koehler has promised to
look into the matter and the de-
sired change, will, in all prob
ability, be made in the course of
ten days.-Oregonian.
