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

"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.
Today also sees a change in the
program at the Oregon theater,
with Charles Ray in "The Court
ship of Miles Standish," taking
over the screen for two days. On
Saturday this remarkable por
trayal', of Longfellow's famous
poem will shift over to the Grand
theater, where it will be shown
Saturday and Sunday.
Another Jack Hoxte feature is
coming to the Bligh theater to
day! It is called "Cyclone Bliss"
and Is the second picture in this
series featuring this western star.
"Cyclone Bliss" has many thrills
but in. addition, to this it Is a well
made western picture, with some
big seta and great acting.
In addition to Jack Hoxle, "Cy
clone Bliss cast Includes many
well-known ; players. The picture
was directed byFrancis Ford un
der the personal supervision of
Ben Wilson. This in Itself insures
a first-class production. Jack Hox-
le's first picture, "A Man f rom
Nowhere'' was shown here some
weeks ago. ''Cyclone Bliss" Is
said to surpass "A Man from No
where" in, its sets, thrills, and
daring riding.

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. These plans
are in accordance to the general

includes carload lots of fresh fruit.
The following announcement
was mailed out by the association:
"At the end of our present fis
cal yar, April 1, 1!24, the Ore
gon Growers Cooperative associa
tion,, as a selling and shipping
agency of fresh fruits and vege
tables, .will discontinue its depart
ment for the handling of these
commodities.
"This policy means that in the
future grower-members of the as
sociation will market their crops
through regular established chan
nels of their own choosing. In" tak
ing the action which the organiza
tion has determined upon, many
reasons have been given, none of
which, however, mentions the In
ability of the sales organization
to function properly)
"The board of directors feel that
the best interests of the individual
grower may be served through the
new method, and plans are now
being closed for the various plants
of the association to pass into the
hands of the grower-members in
those districts, which will mean
local, district associations where
previously a state-wide association
prevailed
"What sales method will be fol
lowed yby these locals has yet to
be decided, but it will probably be
through the existing agencies of
shippers already established. The
Oregon Growers will continue en
tirely as a dried fruit and canned
goods association and, with the

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.
The program continued with a
group by the Apollo club, the club
giving "Because," by d'Hardelot
