LOVERS OF SPORT TURN TO FOOTBALL With the commencement of the football season the eyes of the lovers of sport are centered on the colleges of the northwest, where the grid- Iron heroes are In training for the great autumn sport. The new rules, If they succeed In eliminating the danger of the game, will be welcomed, especially by the parents and friends of the young men who will insist upon playing the gam for all It Is worth, In spite of danger. At the three state uni versities In the northwest conference, Oregon, Idaho and Washington, and at Washington State College, Oregon Agricultural College and Whitman College the players are already afield and each Institution has champion ship hopes. The University of Washington, last year's champions, has lost some of Its best men. Captain "roily" Orlmm sustained a wrenched shoul der In the first practice, which may keep him out of the game, and Mel vllle Mucklestone, one of the fastest players In the west, has decided not to play this year, devoting his time to the study of law exclusively. These reports from the champions of last year are encouraging to the other teams. Both Oregon and O A. C. are reported as stronger than a year ago, while Washington State has much of her old material and will fight hard to beat the cham pions when they meet In Spokane. This should be a great year for col lege football In the northwest. TENDERFOOT AD0PR"NEW WAY TO GET CLEAN FRUIT Officers, clerks and truckmen In the warehouse of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers' Association, says the Wenatchee Itepubllc, were somewhat concerned the other day by the re port that a miscreant had entered the building, evidently during the early morning hours, and malicious ly rendered a quantity of apples worthless by cutting out little pieces of them. One of the Inspectors, In the pur suit of bis regular duties, had discov ered ft load of fruit, every box of which contained apples that had been marred with a knife. The Inci dent occasioned consternation and Indignation and assumed the aspects of a mystery. Word was sent to the owner of the fruit, and he repaired to the ware bouse. He Is a recent arrival In the Wenatchee valley. To the surprise of those connected with the associa tion he manifested no alarm at the condition of his apples. He explained that as the grading rules barred shipment of wormstung fruit he had merely cut out the stings. Dili!) AI STIS I.. PIIKI.l'S. Austin L.
