Old Veterans Come Back.

OAC Saturday with the annual
Alumni game. Five hundred peo.
pie were in the grandstand and on
the sidelines to see Captain Pap !
Hayseed" and bis oldtime war.
riors give battle to the '05 team.
The first half of the game went to
the veterans with a touchdown and
ecore Of six, but in the second !
half the Collegians drove the Alum
nj back for couple Of touchdowns
and score Of 10, making the final
score stand, Collegians, 10; Alumni
6. When the veterans made their
touchdown, which was the only
one in the first half, the grandstand
went wild, not because it loyed the
old men more or the new men less,
but because no event of the kind
was supposed to be on schedule.
The incident came about both by
reason of the strength of the old
team and a series OF lucky plays.
After Dolan kicked off, Nash ran
the ball in to the 80 yard line. The
Alumni thereafter in half dozen
bucks had no difficulty in making
yardage. Then Nash got away On
fake for 20 yards which was fol-
lowed by a play in which the
Vets captured the ball on their
punt. The ball was still 80 yards
away from the Collegiaps goal, but
in the excitement Of a mix-ur,
somebody dropped it, and Tharp
grabbed the oval and sped away
for the touchdown. Nash kicked
goal. The half closed with the
C,llegians driving the visitors
steadily down the field, but time
was called before the goal line could
be reached. In the second half the
Collegians found 10 trouble in get
ting twice over the line and just
before time was called were near
f enough to try for place kick
5 which narrowly missed beiog an
other score.
The game was a pleasant incid-
ent, perhaps, as much 60 for the
! Alumni men as for anybody else.
A conspicuous feature was the tall
figure Of "Pap Hayseed" back to
v college for the first time in eight
!. years. He is now an employe in a
bank at Lexington and is doing
y we'll. He made trip Of something
like 500 miles to take part in the
), game, and was we'll rewarded in the
willing hands that grasped his own
in many hearty greeting. He
d expects to be on hand again for the
e game with which the season ol
e 1905 will be opened. Another
player who found the utmost o
" pleasure in the game was Louis
r Burnougb, another formidable cen
le ter Of former dsys, who is now q
thriving druggist at Enterprise
r Oregon.
,s The game carries with it o
~ course, its aftermath OF how the
q q new team showed up. TIE mem
, bers Of the team themselves declare
= to a man that they played ragge,
ball, and that their showing wa
r very potr. Coach Sickle says
t. their def nse was satisfactory fo
s. this time in the season, but ths
le their offense was poor. Pap Hay
le seed" says they showed where ,h'
u play was going by their glances at
ter the ball, but adds that they ar
iy in lis opinion the making of /
is cracker jack eleven. Some of th
er downtown experts shock thei
of heads unsatisfed like afterward
ly but are understood to be lookin,
ut fore something mnch better mex
as Saturday, when. they go agains
Us the Chemawa team on OAC fel
