STILL WINNING.
OAC Track Team-Beat Everything
at the big Fair Meet-A $4,000
Backer for Williams In 440.

o. A. c. track men still do busi-
ness at the old stand. They car
ried off most of the medals and
three times as many points as any
other team in a big intercollegiate
meet at the Fair Friday and Satur-
day, in which men from nearly all
the Northwestern colleges and uni
versities participated. Smithson
and Williams took the 100 and 22o.
Williams and Greenhaw the 44o,
Smithson and Beldon the 12o hur-
die, Smithson, Cathey and Viii
1iams the 22o hurdle, Swami and
Woodcock first and third places in
the pole vault with second and
third places by others in various
events sufficient to total a score Of
90. Idaho University being next
with an aggregate score of 20.
Greenhaw was beaten in the
half mile by an Idaho man, but
only by a few inches and that und-
er great difficulties. There were
two of the Idaho runners in the ev-
ent and both good. They got
Greenhaw in a pocket, and by clev-
er maneuvering put him to great
effort and trouble to finally pull
alongside the leading runner. The
latter was an excellent man. Down
the stretch Greenhaw pulled along
even and for time was six inches
ahead, but in the last jump the
Idaho man by a desperate effort
managed to throw himself against
the tape first, and won. He had to
be carried from the field, but Geeen
1law trotted off to his tent with
good wind left and in a few min
utes was On the field again, fresh
as a daisy.
The sequel to all this SUCCESSION
of unbroken triumphs is that the
OAC track team stands at the head
of the list in the Northwest with a
supremacy unquestioned and un-
questionable. Incidentally, it brings
wide celebrity to Physical Director
Trine who stands unrival1ed in the
care of men and in development of
their powers. His men are put in
such proper condition that they new
er have to be carried from the field.
No man so perfectly understands
the strain the powers of a young
man are capable Of and to what
limit those powers may be taxed.
In selecting his men and in prepar-
ing item no athlete is ever suffer
ed by Director Trine to overtax his
powers with the consequence, first,
that his men are never injured, and
second, that they are always at
their best, and hence generally win
ners. The unbroken line of vict-
orles that he won while trainer at
Eugene, and the phenomenal tri-
umphs that have resulted from his
work at Corvallis, abundantly prove
the fact. Mr.. Trine has been en-
ployed by Multnomah as a trainer
for the Club athletes who are to
take part in coming events at the
Fair. Among these will be Smith
son, Williams, Greeahaw and Wal
ker. An old Portland sport is said
to be ready to post $1,000 that Floyd
Williams can beat any man in Am
erica in the 44o.

Franchise Committee Of the City

Tomorrow.
TO CONNECT WITH SAN PEDR0.
Company Seeks Facilities for Quick
Transfer of Through Cars to Salt
Lake Route,

The franchise committee Of the city
council will meet General Superinten-
dent A. Il. Weby and other officials Of
the Rio Grande tomorrow and viii go
over the line Of the proposed track
which the company seeks to put IN be-
tween its main line aud the right-of-
way OF the oregon Short Line and the
Salt Lake Route.
That such n line is badly needed goes
without saying as under existing con-
ditions in order to make consistent con-
uection II win be necessary TO either
take the through cars from the RIO
Grande a couple of miles south OF the
depot and bring them along Fourth
West back again, to later indulge I'm
more switching, or else haul the cars
nearly out to Backs Hot Springs and
then bring them back to Salt Lake
through the Oregon short Line yards,
Both routes will occasion delay and
with but 20 minutes to make the con-
neCtiOn will be practically impossible
and occasion the travelling public con-
siderable inconvenience, not to say
gref.
Mr. Weby stated this morning that
the railroad company proposed TO pur-
chase most Of the right-of-way II the
proposed franchise were granted, and
that every precaution would be taken
to protect the nublic.
