THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 21, 1924 DEAR OATS PLAY II Little Hope, of Victory Held By Rathbun's Men 1 .Vandal Strong r Although holding no hope of victory, the Willamette Bearcats are preparing to offer a lively battle when the locals : meet the University of Idaho on the new Jiearcat gymnasium floor here to night. The Vandals come with a record that simply puts Willa mette in another class., but Rath- tun's men are determined to offer the. best they have and take the result as a Just comparison. For the past two years Idaho has. been the champion of the coast as well as the northwest conference, t This season, they had a change of luck and dropped three games which have practical ly eliminated them from the con ism test ior imai nonors this year. . Washington handed ' them a ; point defeat last week, and Oregon gave them a close race to lose by only a 30-24 count. . Fans are fairly well satisfied with the performance of the Bear cat five despite their defeat at the - hands of Whitman heife Tuesday. Inability to ring in their count - s on' field basket attempts was again the biggest factor contribut ing to their defeat. The locals have been doing some good vork ; In their offensive play but 'just . can't get ' the ball Inside of the circle when they get It under the basket. i :"v' : s : The tame' lineup of Fasnacht and RobertsVn forwards, Logan. center, and Erikson and Pat ton guards, will start . the game to night; Hartley and Jofies will likely get the first chances to en ter the fray as substitutes for Willamette. ; DIG PACKAGE USED PIANO VALU ES Every one of these used pianos is m good condi tion. 1 ' $60 Buys Bradbury piano in good condition.

C. 17ILL STATE ST. MEW 1 THEATERS MOVIES " j "Pilgrims of, the Night," star ring Lewis S. Stone and Rubye De Remer, pronounced by Ilelleu, noted French; artist, as themost beautiful woman in America,' is to be the new offering at the Lib erty theater today. It will be of fered there through Friday and Saurday. The picture is the story of a wo man who believes that she owes filial affection to the greatest criminal in Paris, and she reluct antly promises to kill a man who has excited a strange attraction in her, because he is suspected of having betrayed the looters of the French sub-treasury. She also, is in love with the amateur criminol igist to whom all things connected with criminals is repugnant. She is. given into the charge of a hunchback who secretly covets her beauty. i The solution of the strange tan gle provides a plot and a sequence of action that is highly thrilling and entertaining.

BAFFLING MYSTERY WHICH THRILLED LONDON AND 'PARJ.S, Q FRESH FRUIT IS 1 Department of Cooperative Association Eliminated This Spring Beginning April 1 the .Oregon Growers Cooperative association will discontinue its fresh fruit de partment as a selling and shipping agency instead of waiting until January 1, 1925, according to no ticcs being sent to all association brokers. Robert G. McNary, man ager of the fresh fruit department, will sever his connections with the association at that time. Mr. Mc Nary said yesterday that th asso elation expected to have all of the fresh fruits from the 1923 crop cleaned up by April 1. Mr. Mc Nary has not made any plans for the future, but has several things under consideration. Until the present announcement was sent out it was generally be lieved the association would han die its fresh fruit crop this year. or at least until1 present contracts had expired, except in districts which were specifically released from their contracts.

MANY SALEM FOLK ENJOY APOLLO CLUB (Continued from page I) Mason. The Levade number was outstandingly the strong one. The audience was immediate in their recognition. Mr. Althouse made his response with a French folk song, "Chanson du Tambou" by name, and arranged by Deems Taylor. The fact of a foreign wording peculiarly accentunated the fundamental qualities of the tenor's voice, with tne wora meanings more or less submerged the toral strength projected- it self. The Apollo club followed Mr. Althouse with two selections, both noticeably of the ballad and light er type. "O Lovely MghtV by Offenback was given, and Kevin's 'Mighty Lak' a Rose." The re frain of the Nevin selection was re peated for an encore. Althouse sang Puccini's 'Che Gel id a Manina, from La Boheme It was a powerful number and brought forth many appreciative exclamations. The Apollo club gave a short second group, follow ed by two piano numbers by Mr. Gruen, who chose for his solo numbers Rhapsody, E. Sharp Min or by Dohnanyi and Polonaise. A Flat, Opus 55 by Chopin. The au dience was impressed, recogniz ing fully the artist he is. Mr Mr. Gruen chose as his encore. "Black Key Study," by Chopin.
