Bearcats Fight Close Battles
but Have Always Lost
to Missionaries
YANK POLO TITLE SAFE TIL 1930
"Jason Lee was playing qnar
terback for Willamette and Mar-
cus Whitman -was at end for the
Missionaries," alumni of Willam
ette university and Whitman col
lege like to relate. "Lee took the
ball on an off tackle smash, but
Whitman durnned the interfer
ence, tackled Lee ay the whiskers
-and almost broke his neck.
Actually, gridiron relations be
tween Willamette and Whitman
Ann'fm back that far. There is
. no record that they ever played
Drior to 1S20. when Willamette
was admitted to the Northwest
conference.
Willamette has nad varied
strength on the gridiron since that
Tear, but never has been quite
able to upset the Missionaries.- On
several occasions critics have con
ceded that Willamette had the
better team; and the scores have
been so close that the Bearcats
Inability to win has come to have
the significance of a "jinx."
Whitman Always on Top
The first year Willamette had a
team of world war veterans who
were seasoned and tough, but
Whitman came with an eleven
that had been holding its own all
- season with the big colleges which
.were then 4n the Northwest eon
- ference: University of Washing
ton. Washington State college,
and the Oregon Btate schools.
Willamette was just as good,
! but suffered from stage fright in
its first conference game, and
Whitman won 7 to 0. Willamette
threatened the Missionaries' goal
most of the time, but couldn"t
quite get there.
The next year due to the shake
up in Willamette's style of play
with the advent of a new coach.
Whitman romped over the Meth
odists to the tune of 25 to 0; but
in 1922 the "jinx" period began.
That year Whitman won by: the
margin of a safety. 9 to 7; and
two years later Whitman won by
a converted goal after touchdown
7 to 6.
Willamette Scores
In 1925 Willamette scored two
touchdowns on Whitman but lost
20 to 13; that was a year when
the Bearcats were strong on of
fense but erratic on defense, par
ticularly against passes.
The last two games have been
played at Walla Walla, and both
times Whitman has won handily
and Willamette has taken defeat
without bothering to put up any
alibis. The score in 1926 was 10
to 0, and in 1927 it was 31 to 7.
Both times Whitman practically
won by intercepting injudiciously
thrown forward passes.
This year Whitman has a team
declared by the coaches of North
west conference teams that have
played against It, to be as good as
the University of Washington
eleven. Its line is big from end
to end, and the backfield. in ad
dition to being fast, is big too;
there's one backfield man, Neil
son, who weighs over 200 pounds
and runs the 100 yard dash in
10.4 seconds.

Southerners Determined to
Make Desperate Stand
on Thanksgiving
With the remote likelihood of the United States Polo association
accepting ny foreign challenges for next year, the world supremacy
of the Yanks with the mallet will be safe at least until the summer
f 1930. The recent defeat of the Argentine four at the hands of
the United States is believed to have forestalled another invasion
from South America for at least three years. Above, Tommy

LOS ANGELES. Not. 27.
(AP) The Bruins of the Univer
sity pf California at Los Angeles
might be defeat-groggy, having
been trounced,, by every Pacific
coast conference Xoe this season,
but. Oregon University's football
ers, enroute here for a Thanks
giving day tussle, are apt to find
them In a mood that bodes little
good.
The Brains, playing their last
game of the season, are short en
ders in the turkey day clash, but
the way they are going about their
workouts indicates that they are
preparing to give the Webfooters
the battle of their lives. Every
man on the squad, with the ex
ception of Earl Field, fullback, ill
with "Flu," la available to Coach
William Spanlding for the game.
With the Oregon' line outweigh
ing the Bruin forward wall al
most ten pounds to the man,
Spaulding has had to make sever
al changes In his squad in an ef
fort to strengthen It both defen
sively 'and offensively. He has
shifted Cliff Simpson into the
quarterback berth.
Long and gruelling practice ses
sions have been the share of the
Bruins this week, and if they
show the fifcht they have display
ed In their drills when up against
Oreeon. a battle is In prospect.
Th Webfooters are due here
tomorrow morning.

ii. tpec!aij Much Interest is
being taken by pupils in the upper
.grades In the unusual arrange
ment for daily music. These class
es have been divided into four
groups, and each group has songs,
piano numbers or some other form
of music for the opening exercises.
the groups taking turns in provid
ing this entertainment. Original
songs have been composed by
some of the groups.
Leaders are: Group 1. Freder
ick Thielson; group 2, Harvey
Larsen; group 3. Glendon La
Duke; group 4, Shurley Steven
son.
The group which does the best
work is to be given a party by the
other groups at the close of the
mid-year term.
Much talent has been discover-
. ed since the introduction of this
work, as it gives each pupil an op
portunity to contribute. The mem
bers of each group stay after
school one afternoon before their
next turn to provide the program,
'to practice so that their program
will be a surprise to the rest of
the school.
Mrs. J. Wilcox has loaned the
school a piano for the school
year. The pupils and teachers are
working hard to obtain funds to
buy a piano for the school, by so
liciting subscriptions for maga-clnes.

strong, healthy characters; they
always have a personal appeal.
Rose Marie' is a colorful, roman
tic spectacle that thrills the actor
as it does the audience and their
enthusiasm, shown by their ap
plause; makes him do his best.
There Ira thrilling vigor to Ttose-
Marie' that you seldom find In
musical plays. There is a barbaric
splendor, a score of unusual beau
ty and romantic story that runs
through the play that appeals to
every woman. 1 know tnat it aoes
to me and I hope that I am no ex
ception; but if romance does not
appeal, there Is the colorful and
manly Northwestern police with
their musical voices, the flaming
Totem Pole nuumber, a revelation
n stagecrafts and numerous other
scenes to thrill the actor and make
him do his best. It is the en
thuBiasm of the audience that in
turn reaches back over the foot
lights and 8timalates one to do
his best.
"Few musical plays have had a
story that runs logically through
the whole play; it has generally
been lost somewhere between the
rise of the curtain and the middle
of the first act, but 'Rose Marie'
is filled with dramatic poetry; it
is more like grand opera, the story
is as important as the music, and
I find a strong appeal in 'Rose
Marie;' It is more like an exhil
aratlng cocktail than it Is real
work."
Basketball at the SaTero Y. M.
A. was rtarted for this season
Tuesday night at the young men's
division dinner in the association
auditorium. Captains were select

them. Dr. David B. Hill showed
several reels of motion pictures
taken on recent outings of "Y"
groups and the Chemeketans.
The turkey shoot followed the
dinner was the occasion of close
competition among the members
of the division. Each contestant
took 10 shots at the basket from
the foul line. Group scores will be
totaled to determine the winner
of the turkey.
Places were set for 40 at the
first fall dinner of the division.
Club plans for the winter were
discussed and proposals made for
activities of the division as a
whole. Clarence Wenger played
several selections on the piano.

The bible spoke of the United
States and gave a short synopsis
of the outstanding characteristics
of the country 1500 years before
It was discovered," asserted Pro
fessor Charles T. Everson last
night in his lecture at the armory
Tonight he will Bpeak? upon the
subject of "The Two Covenants:
Was the Old Made With the
Jews, and the New Covenant with
the Gentiles?" Also there will be
a cnance tonignt ror anyone to
ask the speaker any Bible ques
tion that he may choose and he
says that he will answer them im
mediately the same evening.
In speaking of the prophecy
concerning the United States the
evangelist said that at the close
of the 1260 year period of Rev
elation 12:6, ending in 1798, the
prophet saw another nation com
ing into existence in the earth.
"As there is only one nation of
great Importance that came into
existence about that time it is not
difficult to apply the symbols as
referring to this country. As the
declaration of independence was
made in 1776 and the constitu
tion ratified In 1789 our nation
jras only nine years old when the
irophet saw it coming Into ex-
stence.
"The Bible predicted that this
suntry should come into exist
ence upon new territory rather
than from conquest of other na
tions as the great nations of Eur
ope and Asia Minor were formed
and whose formation were also
predicted in the Bible. The beast
representing the United States had
two horns like a lamb. A lamb
stands' for Christ; so this nation
was to put into effect Christian
principles in the formation of its
government.
"There was no crown upon the
head of the beast, showing that
it would not be a monarchy but
would be ft republic. The prophet
also predicted that the nation
should begin small with little in
fluence but would Increase In pow
er and authority until nil the
world would listen when it spoke.
"The correct prediction In the
Bible, concerning our country
makes us realize that the bible Is
something .more than an ordinary
book. This same book that never
has made- wrong prediction or ft
false statement ha alsd said that
God so lored the world that-all
could be saved if they believed in
Him. It also Says that Christ is
coming back again and will save
His peopje. X think that It is time
that people were paying more at
tention to the book that speaks

unsettled for this year when Par

season had ended similarly.
In the first half of the game
Parrish had the best of the argu
ment and penetrated well into Les
lie's territory a number of times
once getting the ball to the one
yard line. But there Leslie held
and in doing so was aided by Par-
rish's poor choice of plays.
The third Quarter found the
teams battling on more even

Leslie, and in the last quarter
Leslie made plenty of yardage but
wouldn't get to the goal line.
