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;

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.
