OREGON-PENN GAME SHOULD
j BE A FAIR COMPARISON
I Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 1. (United
Press) East and west football prow
ess, the subject of many an argument,
will be given a thorough tryout hero
this afternoon when Oregon Univer
sity sends its powerful eleven against
Pennsylvania.
I It will not be the first meeting be
1 tween strong coast and eastern teams,
but it will have a great deal of bear
ing on the muddled state of football
when comparisons are reached. Last
year Brown sent its team to the coast
for a battle with Washington State
and the Brunonians were defeated.
Pennsylvania hasn't the record of
Brown this year to back it up but it
has a fine record and a team that has
gradually improved all through the
season.
Oregon's chief claim to fame is that
it tied Coach Dobie's University of
Washington team this year, giving the
Oregon eleven a tie for coast cham
pionship honors. A great many crit
ics, in fact, believe the Oregon team
the stronger of the two. Oregon's
goal was never threatened in the game
with Washington, while Dobie's men
had to fight hard at several stages to
protect their goal.
Johnnie Backctt, a stalwart Oregon
youngster, who plays tackle, end, or
halfback positions, and who does Ore
gon's punting, captains the western- :
ers. Many critics expect him to shine
just as brightly as Howard Berry,
Penn's great star in today's game. I
Oregon's complete record for the I
year shows a total of 230 points
scored, to 17 run up by opponents.
Among victims were Willamette, 97
to 0; Multnomah, 28 to 0; Multnomah
second game, 27 to 0; Washington, 0
to 0; California, 39 to 14; Washington
State, 12 to 38, and the Oregon Aggies
27 to 0.
Fuller said the Germans and Brit
ish have been so busy shooting each
other that the lions have been left
alone and are multiplying rapidly.
Fuller has been discussing the situ
ation with Paul Rainey, showman and
lion hunter de luxe. Painter is a
millionaire sportsman of this city.
PINK RIBBONED PUPS
IN ENGLAND ARE DOOMED
BIG GAME HUNTERS
GOING AFTER LKlNS
Cleveland, Jan. 1. (United Presj)
Two of Colonel Roosevelt's big
game hunting companions in Afr'ca
Clifford Fuller and Ken yon Vi inter,
are going back after lions as soon as
the British war measures are rjlaveii,
FulUr told the Northern Ohio Fish
& fifti'e association at its convention
here today.
London, Dec. 10. (By Mail) (By
United Press) The dog is going to
hr.ve his day with the ax-man just as
soon as the anti-dog element wins its
point.
This doesn't apply to the fox-ter-rler,
which has a sense of humor or
other small, sporting dogs or to the
larger breeds which have their uses
on the farm. But the pink-ribboned,
brilliantined, carefully-combed and
valeted animal that rocs out at the
end of a nine-dollar leash and dines
with a butler's attention is about to
get his. He is a drain on the na
tional food supply, ajul about as use
ful as the North Pole.
London dog-owners picked a bad
time to hold their pet-dog show.
Thousands of fat, fluffy Mumsey's
Duckwuckums were carried in limou
sines to the exhibition benches while
details were coming to light of the
privations of slum children.
Statistical persons with pad and
fountain-pen figured that each dog
ef.ts a minimum of 12 cents worth
of food a day two pups consuming
enough to keep a war-orphan in good
health. That comparison with the
tMldren and the spectre of a pinching
food scarcity put the useless dog at
p disadvantage for his life.
Death Rate Heavy.
Chicago, Jan. 1. (By United Press)
Fifty thousand babies and 20,000
mothers die annually in the United
States because of improper care at
child-birth, said Dr. Joseph B. Lee to
club women here today.
