« U. ot O. Library VOLUME XXXV COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY Speeders Should Not1 UAUGHTER Disturb Slumbers of Pitcher The Cottage Grove football squad completed the season on Thanks giving day by defeating Oakland here, the score being 32 to 0. The locals did not lose a game after starting their winning streak. Oak land had a stronger team than when the two teams met earlier in the season but they were out played at every point of the game by the locals, despite the illness of Bartels, who starred in all the other games of the season. The locals piled up the huge score largely through a strong forward pass offense, In the second half the loeaTk had little trouble mak- ing yardage whenever they had the pigskin. Cottage Grove’s lineup was: Nelson, C; Longfellow, LG; Shipp, RG; Currin, LT; Scheufele, RT; Ballew, LE; Glass, RE; Heard, LH; Gordon, RH; McCargar, Q; Skilling, F. Substitutes were: Swanson for Heard; Adams for Glass; Rich- mond for Scheufele. who take a back street for an exhibition of speed should make certain that the marshal is not in that section in performance 01 some of his manifold duties as street commissioner, water commis sioner, deputy sheriff or something else. Pitcher’s bedroom is not far from Pacific highway. He heard a car come into the city from the south for several mornings in suc cession at a speeil that he esti mated as considerably above that permitted by law. From tho regu larity of the speed law infraction, he suspected that the same person probably was responsible each morning. One morning he was on the street at the time the speedster was due to arrive and the result was that John Fulner contributed $5 to help keep down the rate of taxation for the city, Pitcher chanced to be on Ash avenue when Bob Schaeffer was “ stepping 'on ’er" and he parted with $5 that might otherwise have been used for the purchase of gasoline.
