Its oldest rival, in a tradi tional Turkey day encounter that was witnessed by some 2500 on a perfect lootball afternoon. It was a freshman halfback, Ceorge, Mcdlyn, who turned on the heat to cook the biggest share of the Missionary goose. The hip humping rookie from St. Helens slashed 89 yards for one touch down with the game but four min utes old, and snagged a pass for another with the second quarter Just starting to twitch. Riiniiii rtennett a innior. added the final flame that browned the Whitman bird, one a day on which six Bearcat seniors were supposed IU UOTO VGCIA - . nettwent over, from the six-inch line for the final touchdown late in the final canto, after reeling off the big swaths that carried tne Bearca'ts a total of 73 yards.. Bearcats Look Good In First Half The Bearcats looked like a foot ball machine in the first half, roll in to 203 vards of their total 312 gained from scrimmage, and keep ing the' Missionaries bottled deep in their own territory throughout. But in. the second half they were as cold as today's tnraey nasn, never getting organised until late in the final quarter. Not until the last quarter did the MissionarU ever see Willam ette territory. They pushed their noses barely to the Willamette 41 after given the ball on the SO by a Bearcat holding penalty, and o. far at th Willamette 23 at another time .principally by dint of recovering a Bearcat tumble on the 38. The final half was not only marred by unorganized football on both sides, but by the unorganized handling of the game, by the of ficials. The whistle tooters spent as much time huddling as did the ball players, and at one point gave the Missionaries five downs when they couldn't decide whether the Borleskemen had made a first down on the fourth try. ' McGlyn's electrifying 89-yard touchdown dash was the high light. It occurred on Willamette second play of the ball game, after McGlyn had received Schneld miller's punt on his 20 and re turned 12 only to be put back on - clipping penalty that occurred af ter he'd received the ball. Ciood Support Given tm HO.Vard Dash On the first play McGlyn went back into punt formation but Full back Shaffer took the ball oft tackle for six yards to the 11-yard tripe. Then McGlyn . pounded .round. his own right end. took advantage of a beautiful block given him by Shaffer at midtield, cut to the south sidelines and Hff.arm t m more Missionaries as he rambled across for the touchdown. Shaffer's kick- from nUcement snllt the unriehts. Shaffer, who with five . others played his final collegiate loot ball game, tossed the pass McGlyn rnnirM for hla second touchdown. The big fullback faded back from -the 19-yard line and shot the ball to McGlyn, who leaped high to hug ft down on the 10 and dash the remaining nine for the touch down.

Hopkins say to a friend of his one day in Yonkeis " That question,; it was indicated today on capitol hill, will be asked during the next session of the senate, especially if President Roosevelt nominates the WPA administrator for promotion to the cabinet. Widely published reports have asserted that Hopkins, discussing governmental affairs, said: "We will spend and spend, tax and tax, elect and elect." Hopkins, noting that Arthur Krock, Washington correspondent of the New York Times, used this quotation in a recent article, wrote a letter to the Times de claring: "I have never made such a statement and there is no basis in fact for such a quotation." Carefully Verified Says Newspaperman The Times, printing Hopkins' lotter todav. followed it with a reily by Krock, who said he re printed the quotation oniy auer careful verification. Among those who heard the re mark by Hopkins, Krock said, "was a most reputable citizen of New York and. in lighter hours. a playmate of Mr. Hopkins." "They were at the Empire race trark in Yonkers at the time." the newspaperman continued, "and were discussing spending and the new deal in serious vein." Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) declared today that whether Hop kins made the remark or not, "it is not surprising it was accepted as true, because it was so appro priate. The denial ot the remarks amounts to little, in view of the fact that it fits in so well with the practice." Senator Herring (D-Iowa) com mented that if Hopkins said such a thing it would hurt his chances of being confirmed for a new post by the senate. , Sudeten Election Ballot One-Sided BERLIN, Nov. 24.0p)-The of ficial Gazette printed today a fac simile of the ballot to be used in supplementary elections December 4 in which newly-annexed Sude tenland will vote on parliamentary representatives.

The sermon, said the Christian minis ter, was to be "Our Answer to Anti-Semitism." "We are blessed," said Rabbi Friedman, "in living in a country where law and order abide for the welfare of Its Inhabitants; . . . The very fact that Jews are pres ent in this church now, and a rabbi is speaking from a Christian pulpit is the answer which true Christians give to those who have strayed from the precepts of the 'sermon on the mount' " A message of gratitude was sent to President Roosevelt by the 500 delegates to the annual conven tion of the Junior Hadassah, young women's Hebrew organiza tion.
