Functions; White House Quiet.
Washington, Jan. L (I. K. S.)
For the first time since the war. New
Year's day meant - something to
Washington.
Because of the president's illness,
there was no reception at the White
House, as' was formerly the custom.
The president and Mra Wilson planned
to spend a quiet day. The White House
was flooded with New Tear's greetings.
Secretary and Mra Lansing revived
an old custom, the New Tear's ban
quet for diplomats. This custom was
dona .away with during the war. Be
cause of the great growth of the diplo
matic v corps , It was necessary to limit
the. Invitations this year.
Secretary and Airs.; Baker were at
home d u-lng the whole day to army of

custom, most of the army officers sta

Secret Is Open in Capital That
Wilson Does Not Intend to En
ter Race to Win a Third Term,
By David Lawrence
Washington, If. -C. Jan. 1.
President Wilson is being urged to
say publicly that he will not be a
candidate for reelection, but Just
when hew will -do so Js something
which he alone can decide. kHe has
arrived at no decision as yet.
Publication locally, of a story to the
j effect that Mr. Wilson would make such
j.a pronouncement at the Jackson day din
ner of the Democrats on January 8 arew
no direct denial at the White House
except that officials there gave the im
pression' that if ruch an announcement
were made it would hardly be at the
Jaclcson day dinner.
A8PIRAXT8 AWAIT WORD
' There were sundry remarks made, too,
about the Improvement In the president's
health to the general effect that Wood
row Wilson was by no- means unable to
make the race for a third term if he
cared to do so. This, however, is un
questionably only a reflex of a certain
sentiment that has held sway in (execu
tive quarters to the effect that It would
be unwise for the president to make any
statement about the matter of a third
term because of the disintegration of his
influence which might follow.
Until the treaty and Xeague of Nations
is disposed of by the senate, for instance,
it is reckoned wiser for Mr. Wilson to
maintain silence about the , future, no
matter how much the various aspirants
may.be clamei lug -ffr-a statement from

Early today the three main boule

endless, black chain, steadily mov

way was entirely obscured under its
cargo of automobiles bringing
crowds to the great mid-winter floral
fcelebration.
The day's events started with the
Tournament of Roses parade at 10:80
a. m. It was estimated, on the basis of
early travel that 250.000 people would
see or try their best to see the parade.
The football game opens at 2:30. It
la expected that the park, which seats
28,000. will have about 30.000 crowded
into it, and that a couple of hundred
thousand more will be disappointed. No
seats have been on sale for a week. The

RECKLESSNESS
SORENSEN IS
: ESCAPE JAIL
Notorious and Reckless Driver
Paroled by Six1 Circuit Court
Judges Called to Hear Appeal.
Defendant's Attorney Says His
Ability to Do Harm Is Gone,
: as He Will Never Drive Again.
Nels. Peter Sorensen, wealthy tlm-
berman whose, sensational legal bat
tles to escape Jail sentences during
the past year have created wide
spread interest. Is today a free man
and , the shadow of the six montha
Jail sentence imposed upon him by
Judge Rossman is all but swept
away. ' :
Six circuit court Judges sitting en
banc Wednesday; afternoon, decided that
Sorensen was entitled to a parole.
Present Indications, as expressed by
Ralph Wilbur, his attorney, are that So
rensen will never again operate an au
tomobile In the state of Oregon, and
thus will never again clash with the po
lice on that score. Aa his attorney x
preaaed It, his ability to do harm 18
gone. '
HIS THIRD VICTOBT
The Judgment handed down by the
court makes the third virtual victory for
Sorensen during his various entangle
ments with the police for alleged traffic
violations. Last spring he was Indicted
by the grand Jury, following the death
of Mra" Nina Smith, a widow.
Mrs. Smith was killed at night, and
the automobile which hit ber i sped on
inter the darkness without atopplng. The
next morning a, package, which ahe was
known to' have .been carrying, was found
wedged In the front part 'of' Sorensen's
machine. He was acquitted - by Jury
trial on tha charge of manslaughter on
the- grounds that the . evidence was en
tirely circumstantial... , -
A civil suit was brought against Soren

Prepared ro put up Jhe greatest
gridiron battle in tholr career, Ote
gon and Harvard football player
will line un this afternoon at" -the) -Tournament
of Roses field. The)
Harvnrd players are out to avenga
the 'defeats suffered by the. Drown
and Pennsylvania elevens in previ
ous Ne Tear' a day classics Tiers,
and will unfold every, effort to tri
umph over the' Oregonlana ; .
In addition to being in better
condition, 'Oregon la conceded to
have the Strongest backfield, de
spite the switch made among th
Harvard backs. Ths Crimson linn
will have an edge on the Lemon
Yellow forw-uds. ;.: ....,.. .- -".. -s
The' Harvard back field Is not as
strong as It was first touted, al
though in , Kddle Casey the Crimson ,
eleven have a star pf unusual abll-
11 y, and he will be very troublesom
to the Oregon wing men, - . . . .
Casey is a remarkably fast and shifty -player
and a hard man to tackle, despite
the fact that he ia the lightest mn' on
the Harvard squadl Coach Fisher is
banking on Caeey to deliver as ha did
in the TaW and Princeton games.
' fillly Humphrey and Fred Church of
Harvard - are going q get a chance to
display their wares tn the contest - Both
are in excellent condition. Much pralss
has been spread around about .Church's
ability, but a. tendency to fumble has '
kept him sot -of the lineup aa a regular.
He Is . a fast, open field runner and a
splendid aoal converter.
Bill Steers, the mala 'cog Of the Ore
gon offensive, la ready to travel at top
speed. In the final practice Steers took, :
things as easily as 1 possible, and sun
porters of Oregon are depending upon '
hla-toe for points.4 - , .
WILLIAMS is.cxtrrLE
The other members of the Oregon
team are in fins shspe except Bas WIl
Uams, who la liable to go out of the
game on the first down If he gets a -crack
on his sore leg. Should WUUama '
be - hurt. Harding will be shoved ; Into i
the lineup. "
Oregon Is not given the least rgy of -
hope to score a touchdown, but , Were
are the breaks to consider.
