Local Team Badly Crippled
in Contest With
Lithian Huskies.
MANY ARE INJURED
Elks Forced to Make Many
Substitutions When Men
Were Hurt First
Half Was Good. .
Badly crippled and demoralized,
the Roseburg Elks football team
went down to defeat . before the
Ashland Llthlans yesterday after
noon by a score of 27 to 0. The
Uoseburg team played an offensive
game and pusl d the battle upon
the visitors until the final mo
ments of the game, when with her
warriors crippled and battered and
all of her substitutes In the fight,
Ashland romped away with the
victory.
The first half was as good foot
ball as a "Ian could want or ex
pect.' Crippled from the start,
Roseburg waded In regardless.
Rltzman, Watson, and Bill Whip
ple were out of the game, while
Glenn Smith, who had been ex
pected to play at quarter, was un
able to get Into the contest be
cause of having failed to arrive In
time to practice with the team. .
Roseburg Ricked off and then
held Ashland for downs. Ashland
punted, and Wally Rapp started
back with the ball in a beautiful '
run. He dodged through for thirty
vards, going at top speed before;
he was thrown by an Ashland tack-;
ler. Rapp was badly hurt when
thrown, and althouch he remained
in the game until the last quarter,
and played brilliantly in spite of,
his injury, it was with an effort
which was costly not only to him-;
self but to the team. I
Hugh Whipple fractured a rib
early in the game, which slowed
him down considerable-. Maddoxj
was also injured, and was taken i
out for part of the game. Didtel
and Jackson each received broken
ribs, but remained in the game. Dej
Barr went out with a bum knee.
In spite of a bad knee, Carl
Bkick relieved Whipple at play
ed a hard game, and Kiebei went
In for Maddox.
During the first two quarters
Roseburg forced the game on Ash
land. It was a brilliant contest
wilh the two teams well matched
and playing good ball.
Between halves Bill Whipple got
into a uniform and went to the re
lief of the badlv battered Klks,
but In the first play received an
injured leg when he pioweu
hrough center for five yards
Hugh Whipple, who had been try
ing to Btay on his feet finally had
tn be taken out entirely ..Insinger
started for Brower at end In the
third quarter, but he loo lasted
only a shoot time.
Wally Rapp was still playing
gamely, but In the last cf tne
frame he had to quit caning sig
nals and Maddox was shifted I"
quarter, and finally Relbel reliev
ed Rapp. One by one oihers were
substituted until the lt""
team was hopelessly demoralized.
In the meantime Ashland was
driving awav with a relentless at
tack. A series of fast passes earn
ed them yardage time after time,
and finally, in the shadow of the
Roseburg goal, they tossed the ball
to a waiting end who pai k- d it
over the line, for the first touih
down. They fall d to convert, mak
ing the score 6 to 0.
In the fourth quarter thev acain

CHICAGO. Nov. 17. Chicago
rose to the top of the heap In
Saturday's western conference
football chh.npionship struggles
and Notre Dame advanced to
wards her claim for national hon
ors. In a day of upsets the defeat of
the previously unconquered Uni

three touchdowns to one and ad
ministered a severe blow in ser

the credit for devising the plays
that enabled Minnesota to stop,

was learned today.
Krnnk was assigned to plan the
attack on the Illlnnl by Kill
Spauldlng, head football coach at
Minnesota.
It was agreed that defensive
play was half the game and It was
determined to concentrate upon
it, even after they had heard that
Chicago's success had come only
through a powerful counter at
tack. The marvelous thing about the
great defensive play of Minnesota
was that It stopped Grange with
out the use of unnatural means
or formations. Each man play
ed his position. Just as he would
have played against any other
team, but Frank had each drilled
to execute his alloied task so per
fectly that he had no need of

Previously discarded theories of
how Harry I. Katz. diamond brok

to death In the doorway of his
apartment here last Monday night
were being resurrecUd today by
city and county detectives, a
week's Investigation of tho mur
der having led them, they admit,
back to where they started.
Robbery, the motive at first
suggested, by the slain man's nu
merous diamond deals and his
habit of carrying precious gems
about like small change, was
soon discredited by police who
found diamonds In the victims
hands and his pockets. Today,
however, detectives were Investi
gating a report that Katz had In
his possession the day before he
was slain a small furtune In gems
which dropped out of sitbt with
his death A young man to whom
Katz offered to sell these gems,
but who declined to buy. savin
he would be back later, la being
sought for questioning.
Should this latest clew prove

CHICAGO, Nov. 17. The Also
elated Master Oarbers of Amerloa,
in convention here. today, resolved
to condemn Rodolph Valentino, mo

beard to grow. They expressed
fear lest the hirsute vogue return.
They all resolved that members
of the association be pledged not
to attend a showing of his photo
plays as long as he remains bewhis
kered. The resolution stated in part:
"Whereas the male popula
tion, of America is very likely to be
guided by the said Valentino o the
extent of making whiskers fashion
able again, and whereas, such a
fashion would not only work harm
ful injury to barbers but would
utterly deface America as to make
American citizens difficult to dis

Be it resolved that Rodolph
