Whitman Meets Defeat atO.A.C.

CORVALLIS, Ore, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD
Playing in four inches OF sawdust,
to which the home team was thor
ouShly accustomed and in which the
visitors could not retain their footing
or work their fast plays to advantage,
Oregon Agricultural college Yesterday
afternoon defeated Whitman by the
score of to 0. A place kick in the first
haf and a touchdown in the last were
responsible for the nine points
In the first half the home team could
not cross the Whitman goal and re-
sorted to a place kick from the 25-
yard line, which was successful. It is
doubtful whether the home team would
have scored in the second half had it
not been for poor pass from center
to Bassett, who was punting. Whitman
held the Aggies for downs. on her 10
yard line and Bassett attempted to
punt out, but a poor pass was recovered
by him only six inches inside the goal.
O. A. c. was given the ball. as it was
the third down, and pushed over the
half foot.
Whitman played magnificent ball,
her bacEfield working like demons.
Outweighed Is pounds to the man. they
put up a wonderful game. On her own
field, the tale might have been differ
ent. The saWdust bothered the visi-
tors, who were not used to a footing
which gave way at every step. Their
plays went slowly on this account and
they were evidently much bothered. O.

ceived last January by being thrown

At the first of the year they expected
nothing, but after Coach Blanchard de-
veloped his material in such a wonder

gave the same school further raised
yesterdays game away from home and
on a field covered with saWdust. To
anyone who has played on a sawdust
field know how much it will bother
the wind and speed from a team and
the defeat is scarcely to be wondered
at, the Oregon team weighing so much
more and encouraged by the home
crowd
Whitman has lost her chance for the
northwest championship but she
should easily defeat w. S. c. for the
championship of the Inland empire
Whitman will more than likely re-
tain Blanchard another year, and if
she does, every man of this years
team, save Bassett, Schmidt and Brain
ard, will be in school and eligible to
play. With the same material and an
other years experience under the new
coach, Whitmans chances for next
year are good.

structive work of volcanoes
About thirteen years ago Cobbs Island in the
Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Maryland, enjoyed
more than local renown hunting and fishing
resort, much so that it was frequently visited by
that ardent sportsman, Grover Cleveland. Hotels
and cottages, swarming with human life,
numerous it, and if one had suggested at that
time any of the inhabitants the possibility of the
islands doom being close at hand, they would have
laughed him to scorn. Several storms swept the
island away, however, its terrified inhabitants
Gaping in boats, and swordhsh and sharks
disport themselves in the deep waters that cover
the old site.
There is a rather pathetic circumstance connected
with the destruction of this island. Though it was
obviously doomed, one old woman refused to leave
it. She had been born there, and she would die
there she said. Her neighbors went away; but she
remained, and, as if she really under the pro-
lection of Providence, for long time her little

mainland by some fishermen.
A Hurricanes Damage
IN the fall of 1906 a little atoll
l named Hikueru, located in
the Pomotus group, in the
South Pacific Ocean, disap-
peared absolutely. A short
time before it was missed a
hurricane swept over that por-
ton of the Pomotus, and it is
supposed that the disappear
ance was due to this or to
severe earthquake. The atoll
was not inhabited, and there
was no vegetation on the coral
reef that encircled the lagoon.
1t was known principally for
its pearl fishing.
In September of 1906 Grand
Cochere Island, belonging to
Louisiana, was swept into the
gulf by a terrific West India
hurricane. The island, which
was about one hundred acres
in extent, was noted as one of
the Audubon Society's bird
