Guess it's a sure enough fact qi 'cur tains" for Rube Haunders this season. Rube hasn't succeeded in getting his name in the papers all autumn, but then autumn is not all over. Time was when Rube was about the. nobbiest craft along the Willamette. Not a few recall a game in which Rube was lined up against Pacific University. Tom Tongue Jr., of Hillsboro, was playing safety against the intrepid Indian Out of. a scrim mage protruded the bushy, inky looks of old Rube Shaking off the Pacific boys he started down the field toward Tongue. Tongue closed in and they came together, Tom with his head down. The sudden impact following the momentum of Rube's body caused the Indian to turn a complete somersault, landing squarely on his feet. He continued unobstructed to a touchrdown. Portland Journal.
