Bat Ten on Thanksgiving day, one Sa lem resident was so wrought p over something that he saw that he registered "pet pcovcr. "Tabloid Interviews' aren't limited to the persons the New Oregon Statesman re porters happen to meet and . question; persons who wish to be quoted . may send In their opinions, marked "interviews" and bearing their signatures. MARTHA PACKJNAW. Chemawa student, said: "We had a real Thanksgiving dinner1 too. Grace Peterson and Freda Strom and I bad a chicken apiece. We would have had tur key but it Isn't vary good for the waist line. The regular meal at the school, though, was pork produced right here on the place." A. W. LAWRENCE, a Thanksgiving visitor to Salem from Corvallls, said: "There is one thing about youngsters on Thanksgiving day; they are mighty quiet when gathered around a table loaded with such goodies as mother gets up." DR. O. L. SCOTT, chiroprac tor, said: 'Herbert Hoover's visit to South America Is mak ing a fine Impression on our southern neighbors. I think his trip is a fine thing and should lead to some very constructive results in the long run." R. V. (NIG) BORLESKE. coach of the Whitman football teamV said: "That boy Harsh barger, who caught a pass that bounced out of De Poe's-hands-and ran 40 yards to a touch down, is fast enough for any body's football team. He scored on University of Washington and made a 75 yard run against Vvasnington State that wasn't allowed. But he's too- cocky, so I've kept him on . the bench most of the time. cynthia Mcintosh, 152 South 13th street, said: "I'm not a perpetual 'crab,' but the more I read the daily papers, the more wonder that the peo ple of this country do not come to their senses and take some united action against the slug gishness of our legal procedure. The pet peeve of H. R. is timely, because be railed up and told The New Ore gon Statesman about it right after the Thanksgiving foot ball game at Sweetland field and while he didn't say so, he probably was goaded in to telling about it, by some thing he saw at the game. . . . ."The thing that gets my risibilities smoking is the crowd of rail birds - that watch football games' from the opposite side of t!ie mill- race to avoid paying admia-! sion, and not content with exhibiting their cheapness in that way, must insult the home team when it's doing its beet." I am mindful that there are a if w knowing lawyers, and even a fewnewspapers, that are pav ing the way for such action. But the people; they grumble and seem to think nothing can be done about It." A. B. ESTEP, clerk of the Argo hotel, said: "That was a fine game O. S. C. played against New York university; and I was glad to see Oregon win in the south, too. But I was most interested in the high school .game In which Medford played at Portland. That Med ford high school certainly has develaped a football reputation. I was glad to see the smaller school win. VESSEL LIMPS INTO PORT AFTEB STORM SAN DIEGO, Nov. 29.

NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. Nov. J9. (AP) A nightmare, stark and terrible and fashioned of great, crashing figures in the pure white of Ore- today: the dream of New York University for a football team" that could challenge the recognition or the nation. It was a dream that began when the first leaves of the fall turned brown, grew through over whelming conquest of Colgate and Missouri, and reached its height in smashing victory over Carne gie Tech, master of Notre Dame.

Aggies Dominate Throughout Contest There was no possibilty of the Violets awakening tomorrow to rub their eyes and find it all only a bad dream. The actual score of the upheaval. 26 to IS, gave but little Indication of Oregon State's complete domination. Through a forward wall that had smashed every previous thrust three great western backs Cap tain Howard Maple, "Honolulu" Henry Hughes, and Cy Sherwood ripped and tore repeatedly, carving out long gains, tremen dous marches, and three times pil ing over the Violet goal for touch downs. Over the heads of the be wildered forwards, beyond and through the N. Y. U. backs, Maple threw forward passes that dazed the defense and accounted for the fourth score. Easterners Find Competition Strong Looking as futile' and worn against Oregon as they did keen and powerful In whipping Carne gie Tech. the Violets played their game only in the -. opening and closing minutes of the brilliant battle. Led by Ken Strong, high est scoring back in the east, the violets etormed out to score a touchdown in the first few min utes of play, then languished un der a battering that lasted until the final moment of the contest, before reviving and fashioning the second score. At the epening gun. Strong raced back 20 yards with the kick off, tossed a 22 yard pass, and then charged through tackle, back to the center and straight down the field for 40 yards. Oregon held bitterly, but Follet swept around an end for 12 yards and the touchdown. Crowd Decides Everything's Over ' The 40.000 in the stands sat back, contentedly watching anoth er typical Violet slaughter. Before they knew what had happened, the surge of the white-clad west erners was under-way, the ball was in New York territory, and it stayed there for all but the last few minutes of the game, punc tured by touchdowns, until the field was almost hidden In the dusk. Coming back after that first score, the Oregon State line open ed gaping holes for Sherwood, Maple and Hughes to march ten yards at a lick, to the N. Y. U. sev en yard line.
