The football heroes of the Marine team which vanquished the Camp Lewis aggregation on New Year’s day, gained a lot of publicity among the sport writ ers of the sunny south. Here is a story from the Los Angeles Times for Janu ary 3 telling what happened to Johnny Beckett: til usn ring .lawn rtecKett, King tor a day hold sway over the Castle Mary land yesterday with everyone from the genius who peels the potatoes to the stoutest on the register, his most devout slave. Even Jawn himself admitted that it’s groat to be a football hero, while the coterie of society rosebuds hovering in the background seemed content mere ly to feast their eyes upon the bluecoat ed, brass-buttoned celebrity. Accompanied by a humbre scribe Jawn attempted to run the gauntlet of the Maryland court and reach the protected seclusion of Its bungalow. National cele brities popped from behind arbors and hedges to offer the embarrassed idol ei cigars that '#-ould have plugged a fire hydrant, pretty maidens parted bun galow curtains to smile upon him and a troupe of bright-eyed kiddies, represent j ing the elan of Cudahy, ham specialists, whooped around a corner to tell Jawn that their daddy said the Cudahy car and chauffeur were at his disposal. In Seclusion. Beckett dove into the seclusion of his room and proved himself a real cos mopolitan by laying aside the brighl Ilanded gifts of his admirers and “rolling his own.” "Yes, the gnme must have looked good from the sidelights,” he mused ns the smoke rings curled around the chan delier. “If Camp Lewis had reduced her substitute list early in the season and specialized in developing about fifteen or sixteen players we would have had hard er time winning. The army subs did not fit into the machine smoothly and we got just the advantage we were looking for. “Believe me, Bezdek is a wise guy and a real sport. Perhaps nobody knows him better than I do and I am sure hr will be a big sensation in eastern baseball. This talk about stolen signals makes me laugh. Knowledge of the other team’s numbers only serves to confuse one in the exciVment of the gnme. I believe, that the Oregon men on the Camp Lewis team were really handicap lied because they knew, or thought they knew, some of the plays that Brown call ed for. We fooled them by reversing the side of the line attacked. “Our gnme with Camp Lewis earlier ] in the season was a much hander one than that of yesterday. We had practic ally no plays at that time and had to fight harder than ever before. Since Bexdek took charge of us we have been welded into a read team instead of eleven players. “We certainly have enjoyed onr trips 1 up and down the coast, and just after we signed up for the Pasadena game we got I an offer to play in Honolulu. I hope they send us over the water soon, for we j are all crazy to get into a real scrap, un j hindered by the official rule book. After ! the war 1 am going ack to the farm in Oregon, which l left to attend college. No military stuf fatal drills for mine after the kaiser is licked!” Co to it dawn, we’re strong for you.

Rosenberg, former in structor in the school of architecture, who is now a member of company F, 25th Engineers, camouflage, stationed at Washington, D. C. Mr. Rosenberg, how ever, is enthusiastic about his work, which he says is practically all out of doors. “Two-thirds of our company are mo vie men and the rest are everything from sign painters to carpenters,” says Mr. Rosenberg, in a letter to friends on the campus. He expects to “go across” within a short time. POLISH CHILDREN DIE FROM STM In Poland most of the children under j 4 years of age are either dead or dying from starvation. The old and the very young are always the first to succumb when a country is starving. Through the American Red Cross it is planned to send aid to these starving Poles as soon as adequate guarantees are given that the money will not cause food or funds to be released for the benefit of the German army now occu pying Poland. Try to picture the starvation of Po land, of Serbia or Belgium, of other neutrals and it will not be hard for you to make up your mind to conserve every bit of food possible. The Red Cross has begun a nation wide drive for membership. This is the only authorized agency for extending relief to suffering humanity. You will be given an opportunity to hold a mem bership in this organization and play a part in helping to care for our soldiers and sailors and feeding the hungry of our allies so far as it is possible for us to do MORE OF THE SAME An old negro drove into an Oklahoma j town one market day behind a tall lean I mule, whieh he left tied to the court house railing. Evidently the mule liked the location, for she would not stir an inch when the darky returned later witii the intention of going home. lie tried coaxing and cussing: he tried beating and kicking. He tried a slow fire under her; she perspired freely, but she didn’t move “Doc,” said the driver plaintively to a medical man who was among the ad miring spectators, “caint’s you ease this fool mule somepin dat’U git her goin’ good?” Filled with high exaltation, the doctor hastened into a drug store and present ly returned with a syringe. He gave the mule a stiff dose and stepped back. Another moment and the hybrid was j leaving those parts, bound nor’ by nor' east. in the general direction of Indiana. The negro watched the cloud of dust that marked her progress. “Doc.” he said in a pateit tone, "how much did dat stuff cost ?” “I gave her a dime's worth.” “Well, go back right quick and git two-bits of the same fo’ me puhsonally. 1 gotta go ketch dat mole!”—Exchange. PRIMAL DEMOCRACY Among the boys who have gone out j to fight for the safety of democracy 1 there are at Yapbank quite a number ! still who believe that said democracy extends even to army life, says an ex- i change. One man is just as good as an- j other, is their theory, and even better, if he has a good uppercut with his left, j And if a man ha* a good right jab he | has a right to almost anything else he can take away from the other fellow, no matter how many straps, bars or i stars he wears. I It was one of the newest rookies re-! oently who exemplified his belief in this primal democracy. Shortly after he had ' learned where his hunk was and had stowed away his few belongings there came n call at his door. | "MHH'liy.—<Wd f!\A VdW. ill.' onel wants to see you.” j And Murphy replied: “Aw right, send him in!"—Exchange. |, We Have a Complete Line of Basket Ball Supplies EUGENE GUN COMPANY, Arthur Hendershott, Mgr. 770 WILLAMETTE ST.
