Dudley played halt with Syracuse that year and was coached by Horace Jones, a brother of Thad Jones, who Is now coaching Syracuse. Two years ago Camp sent Horace Jones down to Syracuse to coach the squads there, and taking a bunch of Inexperienced men. Jones was able to come back and almost dafeat Camp's own aggregation a little later la the fall. Dudley played half when Michi gan was downed to the tune of 28 to 4, and by the way. a year or two be fore that played against Forbes, when he was playing a phenomenal star game at end prior to his graduation, and removal to Eugene, where he has done so much In Introducing Eastern football style In Pacific football cir cles. : Dudley Is not a large man, but Is j wiry and active, and the way he han ! dies his crews on the streets in a I manner which reflects his calibre as a leader and his past he carries his body and does his work with that pre cision and freeness-which comes with the well developed physical body and educational mind.

Patrons of the IsIs are Given a Splen did Treat The program for this change at the Isls Is the best of the season. "A Wireless Romance by Edison," is a picture that will appeal to anyone. "Ito, the Beggar Boy," by the Vita graph Co.. is a beautiful scene layed In Japan, and brings out vividly the customs of the people in the far east. "Caesar in Egypt", Is also a strong picture. For a good hearty laugh, the film, "Save us from our Friends" Is a winner. It tells the Ftory of a wedding, and of the pranks 'lyed upon the couple by their :;!?nds. Tnterprlse Personals. Enterprise. Ore., Aug. 6. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss McKlnnon, the former a well-known grain buyer for Portland firm, living at Allcel. are visiting friends and relatives here They will spend some time camping at the lake.

This is one of the new prospects about here that is be ing developed, the assay being of mere surface ore. Another prospect the Wilson Basin. In which Dr. E. T. An derson of this city, is Interested, will, according to the owners, show an as say of $70.00 gold alone, to the ton. This Is also from surface rock. The little 7-year-old daughter, Mar garet, of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clark of Lostlne, was buried Monday, after a brief attack of rheumatism. Relatives from this city attended the funeral. A touching Incident associated with the little soul's passing is, that but a short time ago, having heard of the drowning of two little boys in Enter prise. 1he little girl came to Enter prise to visit and to decofate the graves of the two boys. She returned home to pa,ss away shortly. Th Miserable Villain. Low Comedian-After all these years Eggbert has at last succeeded In mak ing a hit with the audience. Soubrette So? How does he do It? Low Comedian You know he has always piayed villain roles. Soubrette Yes. Low Comedian-Well. In the last act of a new play the author allows him to repent and say. "I've been a miser able villain."

Harry Furnlss tells a story of Mary Anderson's Initial season In London. "Her first appearance was as PerdUta," he says in the Strand Magazine, "and I thought her the most charming fig ure 1 bad ever seen on the stage. "She kindly posed for me after a performance at the Lyceum, and when itae asked me the position I would like her to take 1 mentioned one she had assumed In the second act. In which she stood holding the drapery In her hand, which was resting on her hip. 'Do you really mean that? she asked. 'Yes; that attitude struck me as the most artistic of all your graceful move ments.' 'Well.' she said, 'as a matter of fact, my robes bad come unfastened nd were falling off, and I was holding them on, but 1 shall now purposely make them slip In the same way. And that pose was repeated nightly during the ruu of the play. ' "On the first night at the Lyceum she was moved In the great scene by the rough, picturesque lover, played on that occasion by handsome Jack Barnes. As she rose to her feet It was perceived, to the delight of us all. but to the discomfiture of the actors, that Mr. Barnes' wig had caught In the shoulder clasp of Perdita and rose from bis bead with her and further more refused to be detached for some time. "Even this popular actress could not escape the chaff of the gods. She was playing Galatea in Sir W. S. Gil bert's play and a charming Galatea she made when, In the critical scene in which she appeals to the gods to enable her to bring Pygmalion and Cynisca together again, the actress held up her arms and, unconsciously looking up at the gallery, cried out: " "The gods will help me!' "To Miss Anderson's surprise, all the occupants of the gallery, as if by pre- arrangement, called out with one voice. We will? " Of Course. "Do you have any idea of how much money your wife spends?" "My wife?" "Yes." "I certainly have." "How much?" "Every cent she gets." Hard Swearer. "Our sheriff is an awfully profane man. mamma." , "TheVherirr?" "Yes."
