NAVY VS. NOTRE DAME
four Other Big Teams Will
Clash Also 3 Mjor
Battles in Coast
Conference.
By PAUL MICKELSON
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
CHICAGO, Oct. 13. Before 120,
000 or more spectators, the larg
est fooiTiiill throng ever assembled
in America, two Trojan elevens,
Notre Dame and the Navy, were
ready to match speed and brawn
in i he arena of massive Soldier
Field today.
Other gridiron classics there
have been, but from the standpoint
of attendance, celebration, color
and romance, this duel between
two fighting teams that already
have been beaten promised to be
tlie greatest spectacle ot them all,
rivaling in splendor even the field
days of ancient Home.
For Chicago, which also had the
Important Iowa-Chicago and Ohio
Slate-Northwestern games on its
program, it was by far the red let
ter day in football history. More
than 200,000 were expected to
watch the three games, and the
city seethed with activity. Streets
were Jammed and thousands of po
lice struggled to keep the tremen
Jous truffle moving.
Notables Present
The glamour of the spectacle at
Soldier Field, which attracted
ccores of celebrities, all but
dwarfed the outcome of the con
test between Knute Itockne's Ram
blers and "Navy Hill" Ingram's
Midshipmen. Among the box hold
ers were Vice President Charles
(1. Dawes, Secretary of the Navy
Curtis D. Wilbur, other high otfi
cials. and many movie stars, in
cluding Gloria Swanson, Lew
Cody, Norma Shearer and Molly
O'Neill, a dyed-in-the-wool Notre
Dame rooter. On the side lines
room was made for baseball's two
bohemoths of swat, Bahe Ruth
and Um Gehrig, the New Yolk
Yankees' "home run twins."
The bambino was a Notre Dame
rooter, while larrupin' Lou was
out for the Navy. Six bands, among
them those from the Naval acad
emy at Annapolis and from Notre
Dame, were ready to flare forth.
The Navy's goatt, too, was on the
scene.
With a fleet haekfiejd and a
comparatively weak line, Knute
Un'kne'g nun depended on speed,
while th? Navy, with Its h'-nvlrr
line, uererrt- d on brawn. Both
coaches indicated plenty of kick
ing and enough forward passing to
keep the great throng on edge.
Yle vs. Georgia
NKW YORK. Oct. 13 The
Yule Georgia game at New Haven
seems to hold forth the greatest
possibilities of football fireworks
in today's eastern game. Except
for three positions, Georgia enters
the battle with the same lineup
that defeated the F.lls in n sensa
tional game last year, 11 10. Y'ale
has been hampered in practice by
injuries.

QUARTERBAGKDEES
When Special Train Arrives Tuesday
The special train, carrying the
two Oregon prize-winning drum
corps of the San Antonio Ameri
can Legion convention, will arrive
in Rose burg Tuesday afternoon
bttween 4 and 6 o'ciock and local
Legionnaires are preparing today
to give the returning "heroes" a
real reception. The American Le
gion drum corps, a ballyhoo band
and other noisv-making devices
will be on hand to give the boys
a "hot time." The Salem drum
corps, second prize winner in the
national competition and the Port
land corps, first prize winner in
the "Forty and eight" parade, will
perform at the depot during the
stop here and it will be an oppor
tunity for Uoseburg folks to hear
two of the best drum and bugle or
ganizations In America.
John Philip Sousa, one of the
judges at the American Legion
convention, selected the Salem
corps as the best musical organi
zation competing. Aa many of the
Portland and Salem boys are
known to members of I'mpqua
post, it Is expected the scene at
the depot grounds Tuesday eve

of a reunion of World War vets.

There will be no jury term of
circuit court during November,
according lo present plans. Due
to the noise from the construction
work on the new court house
buildingjt is found impossible to
use the circuit court chambers and
if court should be held it would
be necessary to convene the ses
sions in some other quarters,
which would put the county 10
additional expense. As there are
no pressing cases it Is planned to
continue all of the civil actions un
til the February term. There are
only two. criminal actions pending.
Mid the defendant in one of those,
the mnaslaughter case against
Gordon Burnett, of Round Prairie,
; which grew out of an automobile
j wreck in which Edna Parks Gard
nerwas killed. Is out on bail and
there Is no need for an imme

against the alleged firerv.ig. aci us
ed of destroying two buildings at
Yoncalla. His case will probably
be brought before the grand jury.
If he is indicted It may be neces

planned to hold the usual No
