HARVARD MAY Be CUT OUT
Domineering Tactics Of Crimson School
Have Excited Wrath of All the
Other Colleges.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-AlthOugh it
is now said to have been joke. a CO.
lossal bluff, ETC., it is undoubtedly true
that the New Haven team was forced
to accept the crimson list Of officials
or play no football with the Cambridge
men this fall.
1t is recorded in the athletic annals
of the United States that Harvard is
not and never has been game loser.
Fads and fancies, charges without
proof and a tendency to withdraw
from everything if decisions did not
suit them, have characterized the Cam
bridge managers in the line of sport
for many years. 1t will, however, Gre
ate a precedent for a rival to sever re-
lations if that action is taken by Yale.
Heretofore the other big universities
have humOred the crimson caprices or
fatty refused to yield, as the emer-
gency demanded.
One of the famous 'I-dont-want-to-
play yard" performances Of
Harvard was in 1889 in football, which
severed relations between the crimson
and Princeton in various ways for five
years. The cause Of the rumpus was

SNAKE" now a prominent Chicago
golfer, but then the star fullback of

| At that time the intercollegiate foot
| ball association was composed of Yale,
Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania and
| Wesleyan, and before this tribunal
Harvard laid charges of professional
ism against Ames. The latter was fully
exonerated just prior to the Harvard
Princeton game, and for time it ap-
peared as if the contest might not be
played At the end of the first half the
/ score was Is to 10 in Harvard's favor
but in the next period, Ames, stung to
| desperation, won for the orange and

READY TO TEST THE BIG BRIDGE
New Steel Structure Across River
Above WaIIuIa Will Be Piled High
With Twenty Tons of Sand.

The new 40 foot steel bridge three
miles above Wallula is completed. Coun-
ty Surveyor Loehr will leave in day Or
two to superintend the inspection of
the same before it is accepted by the
county commissioners.
Workmen are now preparing sand
bags which will be used in testing
the strength of the big structure.
Twenty tons of them will be piled on
the center of the bridge and if it proves
equal to bearing this load without sag
ging it will be pronounced o. K. BY
the inspector.
The bridge was constructed by the
P. yesterday company and is said to
be not only strong but an exceedingly
graceful looking affair.

Worlds Champion to Meet Cal.
ifornian on Cinders
OLLIE IS SOMEWHAT JEALOUS IoF DAN
RACE FOR BLOOD BETWEEN TWO
GREAT sPRlNTERs WILL BE
At JAMESTOWN.

The Olympic club of San Francisco,
announces that it will send team to
the great track meet of the A. A. U. at
the jamestown exposition at Norfolk,
Va, next year. That announcement
will seriously affect college athletics
in the Northwest, and the program of
the University of Oregon in particular.
Since Bert Kerrigan launched the
scheme to send an all-Northwest team
to the meet, many promising athletes
from Utah and California have cast
longing eyes toward the Northwest.
Albert Mum, the great all-around ath-
lete of the Oakland high school, and
Smith, the half-miler of Lick high
school, San Francisco, were both on
the string for the University of Ore
gon. They had two lode-stones in tine
North. They want to be trained Dy
"Bill' Hayward, who brought Dan
Kelly out, and they want a chance to
compete for worlds nonors at the ex-
position.
Kelly and Snedigar Will Meet.
One of the most interesting features
of the meet at Norfolk next year will
be the races between Dan Kelly of the
University Of Oregon, and Ollie Snedi-
Of no Univ Of nrrio
With nothing in the world to base their
criticism upon, Trainer Walter Christie
and Snedigar have attacked the worlds
record of 3-5 for the 100-yard dash
made by Kelly at Spokane this year
until one might easily be led to be-
lieve they are jealous.
Within a week the sporting papers
of California have come out and hailed
Snedigar as champion sprinter of the
coast, although Kelly's record stands
before all the world as 2-5 of second
lower than Snedigar's. There has been
some talk of meet between Oregon
and California, but it is very doubtful
if such will be held The California
institutions are not going to let Mum
and Smith come North to run under
Oregon colors if ay inducement can
hold them, and with them against Ore
gon instead of for her perhaps the Eu-
gene boys will not undertake the meet.
re 4 will
not meet until at Norfolk in June or
early in July. They do not love one
another, and it is to be hoped that a
decisive victory will be gain by the best
man to silence the pickering forever.
Has Good Men.
The Olympic club team will be
good one. but as far as honors for the
West go it may be a snort-sighted
policy to send two teams from the
coast Ten men picked from the whole
coast might be able to win the meet.
With the coasts honors divided 1t rs
almost certain that some eastern team
will win the greatest number of points
at the meet.
Some of the men who will try for the
California team are: Snedigar AMI
Crossfield, of the University of Cali
fornia, in the sprints; Andrew Glarner,
captain of the club team and famous
quarter miller; Rawles, Walker ana
Miller, of Stanford, in the quarter, OF
whom Miller perhaps is the best; Ar
chic Mamiel, Rowlight, Kelly and Har-
old Maundrell, for the distance races;
Powell of the club, who has made the
high hurdles in Is 4-5; MacFarlane, OF
Stanford, and Cowles, of Berkeley, Tor
the sticks, and in the weights Al Paw
and Ralph Rose.

STORING POTATOES.
Conditions TO Be Observed Il tt.s
Most Satisfactory Results
Are Obtained.

have found In my experience on thu
farm that It Is necessary to use consider
able care in the storing Of potatoes In
the cellar If they are to be made to keep
we'll and not sprout or rot. The storing
in open bins used to be followed by my
father when I was a boy, and the pota.
:oes got a good deal of sunlight and
warmth. The result was that several
times throughout the winter we boys
had Jobs sprouting the potatoes. The
work Ia all right, but the potatoes are
reduced in condition each time they are
permitted to sprout. The moisture that
goes out in the sprouts leaves the tubers
soft and wrinkled. In that condition
they are Of little value for eating AMI
of less value for seed.
There are two things that need to be
looked after in the storing Of potatoes.
One is to keep the potatoes boxed or
barreled tight. so as not to permit the
air to pass through the storage places
and draw moisture from the tufers.
The other is to keep the cellar cool. I'm
der modern conditions this Is more
diffic lit than It was underline old rondi-
tons; for the reason hat many of our
farmhouses are now heated by means of
furnaces which greatly increase the
warmth in the cellar. In a case OF this
kind II Is absolutely necessary to have
a second cellar beyond the first or have
the first cellar divided into two parts by
a double wall that will not permit the
heat from the furnace to warm the ai-
In the other portion. The windows from
the cellar to the open air must be fixed to
open, so that o and then throughout
the winter the storage cellar may be
fillel with cool air. Potatoes must be
kept from sprouting and must also be
kept from losing moisture. They
should be as sound and hard late in
the winter as when first put in the
cellar.

FERTILIZER FOR CELERY.
What This Table Delicacy Needs for
Its Most Successful
Growth.

Celery feeds largely on nitrogen and
does best in a soil well stocked with
vegetable matter. In other words, 1t
reveis in a black loan, or muck soil.
The best fertilizer is we'll ~decayed
farmyard manure strewn In the bot
tom of the furrow made to receive the
plants and stirred in the same as to
mix it with earth by running a one
horse cultivator along the furrow with
the teeth set close. Compost made Of
decayed sods and leaves will answer
the same purpose. IL commercial fer
filters are used. the ingredient most
needed is nitrogen applied at the rate
of. say, 100 pounds per acre. Fifty
pounds per acre could be Gown along
the rows at the time of planting, just
after the plants have been set, and
the balance some weeks later.
Usually each state requires the fer
tilizcr to be analysed b-fore 1t IS put
on the market, and a statement of the
analysis t o be furnished with the
goods. In some instances, suggests the
Farm and Home. such materials may
be chemically analysed By applying
