For Goal
Although the Umpqua Poat
(ootball team waa defeated 21 to
0 by the University of Oregon
freshman In yesterday's football
game, the contest was interesting
and exciting. Both teams played
a hard game, and only the fact
that they were better trained and
conditioned than the Hoseburg
team gave the visitors a victory.
Eugene kicked off to Roseburg
and Whipple ran the ball back
or more than forty yards, tearing
his way through a broken field.
Roseburg drove the ball, on a
aeries of line plunges, to within
a few feet of the Eugene line,
but miased a place kick.
The Rooks In their turn carried
the ball to within four yards of
the Roseburg goal only to be
held for downs In the shadow of
the goal posts. The quarter ended
without scoring.
In the second quarter Rose
burg started off with an aerial
attack, but a Eugene runner In
tercepted a pass and got away for
a long run. ROBeburg broke up
two attempted passes and then
.lost got through for yardage. A
serlea of off tackle playa carried
the ball over the line for the
first touchdown. The goal waa
converted making the score 7 to 0.
Roseburg misted a ready-made
score in the opening of the second
hair. The locals booted the ball
from punt formation and the Eu
gene quarter fumbled the ball.
The pigskin bounded toward the
visitors' goal line, with Brower of
Roseburg In hot pursuit. With
a clear field ahead of him, Brower

Unleaa the Thanksgiving turkey
market Is unusually high, the ma
jority of the Umpqua Valley birds
will be held over until Christmas,
according to those who are In close
touch with the situation. Growers
report that their birds this year
are above the average In stee, but
aro not yet fully fattened. As the
Christmas price Is usually aa high
as the Thanksgiving market, the
growers In many Instances clan to
noin tnelr turkeys nntll they have
put on more weight.
Old birds snd young hena will
predominate In the local receipts
for Thanksgiving. The hens ma-
ture faster than young toms. and
those ready for market will doubt
less be killed, but where birds can
be made to put on more weight be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christmas
they will probably be held until
the latter time.
Turkey Day has been set for FH
dny, November 20. It Is possible
that some will he received prior
to that date for distant shlpmei
while others tnav be purchased on

The outside buyers and local rep
resentatives of wholesale houses,
however, are announcing that they
will buv on Frldav.
No prices have as yet been an
nounced. A- few advancei snles
have been made at 3d and 3 cents,
hut none of these are considered
Indicative nf the Thanksgiving mar

will start at about 40 cents and In
the event of strong " competition
may go rs hlsh aa 4! cents.

From present Indications the na

year. Surveys aclnallv being made

out a doubt, a shortage of turkeys.
