An Interesting Item about Dr. Karl
Sarpolis, heavyweight contender, ap
peared in L. H. Gregory's column in
the Oregonlan today, .which Is here
with reprinted:
Speaking of wrestlers. Doc Sar
polis is nursing a peculiar injury. He
was wrestling a bear, in a public
workout at Seattle six weeks ago,
and Mr. Bear got mad and cuffed
him under the right eye, clawing a
gash t quarter-Inch deep. Doc became-
as mad as the 'bear was,-got
. under him. grabbed one of his hind
legs and tripped him, and then ap-
I ullf.rl n r-.ru"! v wisnnrn until R'rfr Rmln
was squealing with pain and rage,
and the bear's owner came whooping
up with a m-uzale to clamp on his pet
before It could take a bite out of Doc.
Having downed tho bear, Doc
thought nothing more of it until the
scratch under his eyo began to give
trouble. There was evidently an in-
: fectlon from the bear's claws, for the
moment so on the next play I threw wound developed pus and twice had

DUFFIELD SAYS
believes that tho chief fault rests
in tho fact that It is the ball carrier
who gets -all the glory.
"Take Stan Williamson, our cen
ter. He was tho first one out for
practice every day. Ho spends a lot
of time in tho summer practicing
passing. Ho is so good he can knock
bottles off a fence post nine times

"Yet his part in the game goes un

Truman' Poulson. of Powwatka,
was a business visitor in town last
week. He reports over two feet of 1
snow In that community. 1
Considerably colder weather has
prevailed here during the past few
days. The second cold wave of the
winter Is being noticed some, coming
as it has on the heels of air ecep-
tionally mild spell of weather, dur- I
ing wnlch time there was much ;
thawing of the snow, and but little
freezing at night. Several inches of
new snow fell during the past week,
making the depth In the nearby hill
sections around 16 inches on the
level. The valley section is covered
with eight or ten inches of snow and
farmers and stockmen report condi
tions ideal for feeding and coring
for livestock. Practically all report
an abundance of feed and feel that
they will have plenty for all winter
needs. No marked Improvement is
noted in the hay sale situation, while
there are some small sales being made
each week, the bulk of It Is going
out in lots of from one to four and
fivo tons. The going price with the
greater part of the haymen Is said
to be around 98 per ton. Roads arc
said to be quite good in most parts
of the community. Cars are still in
use on many of the outlying roads.
Elmer Southwick, rural carrier on
route No. 1 is still using his car,
however. With the softening of the
snow during the latter part of the
week ho experienced - considerable
difficulty in making some of the
steep hills traversed by this route.
Ho states that unless the roads are
broken out and packed better In
places that he will start using his
team tho first of tho coming week.
The past two winters have been ex
ceptions Insofar as the use of cars at
this season of the year are concerned.
Last winter Mr. Southwick was able
to use his machine the greater part
of the winter and It was nearly the
first of March before he was com
pelled to change to horse-drawn ve
hicles. Tho past several weeks have
proved some of the best winter feed
ing wather to be exprienced here in
a number of years. A large amount
of bright sunshine has been the rule
during the past two or three weeks,
with conditions just warm enough to
thaw slightly during the middle of
tho day and has not been very cold
at night. Livestock have cleaned up
their feed nicely and are practically
all In excellent condition for this
season of the year.
