OREGON AGG|ES WIN
FROM IDAHO VARSITY
BY THE SCORE OF 70 TO So WEB
FOOTED FARMERS RUN OVER
MOSCOW LADS.
montgomery Defeated in Hundred,
Which Is Not Run in 9 4-5, Usual
Time This Year.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, May 19.-In the track
and field meet held Monday afternoon
on the local field between 0. A. c. and
University of Idaho, the local team won
by the score of 70 to So. The absence of
two or three of the o. A. C.'s reliable
point winners kept the score nearly
even.
The surprise of the day was sprung
in the 1OO-yard dash when Scott of o.
A. c. won first over Montgomery in
10 LIS seconds Montgomery is credited
with As for the 100, but Scott won
by a good margin. Bergman of o. A.
c. easily won the 120-yard high hur-
the 220-yard dash. In the mile and the
two mile events Idaho was much
stronger than O. A. c., but the AggIes
took sweet revenge in the weights, TAX
ing 26 out of the possible q points;
also taking all three places in the broad
jump.
In the 440-yard dash a very unfor-
tunate incident happened, when Mont
romery of Idaho, having been boxed
most of the distance and at last sue
ceeding in overtaking Howard, .. A.
C.'s quarter miller, grabbed him by the
neck and hurled him from the track,
then finished first, with McInturff Sec
ond. Montgomery claims that his &C
ton was due to the fact that Howard
was zigzagging in order to crowd nun
off and the judges agree that Howard
was guilty of fouling, but at the same
time condemned the Idaho man for ms
unusual action He doubtless had GOOD
cause for anger but jeopardized his 1alf
standing as an athlete by throwing ms
opponent down after having success
fully passed him. The affair was finally
compromised and Montgomery given
first, Howard second and Mclnturfl
third O. A C'made a determined ef-
fort to win the relay, but owing to the
| fact that Shadduck who had run the
mile and the half was in poor condi-
ton, lost the lead that his team mates
had gained. Montgomery easily wound
| up the event a strong winner. Sum-
mary:

The work of Pitcher Harry Coveles-
kie of the Philadelphia Nationals, who
has been nicknamed the "Giant Killer, y
is being closely watched this season.
The former coal miner made himself
famous last fall when he won three
games from the New Yorks in tbs
closing days of the pennant race and
which practically robbed the Giants OF
the flag. Coveleskie has proved that he
is still an enigma to the Giants In the
two games he has twirled against them
but his work against the other CLUBS
has been poor. Twice since the season
opened the former miner has been
knocked out of the box, first by Boston
and later by Brooklyn. Coveleskie Is
"a years old and he has been playing
in fast company only a short time.
While a member of the Wildwood, n.
J team he attracted the attention OF
Manager Murray. He was gwen
short trial in the spring of 1908 and
was then released to the Lancaster
club. in the Tri-State league. Covles-
