Good Evening I Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Machine gun bullets arranged matters so that the pretty boy Is a pretty boy no longer. But the pretty boy came out about even with 120 bucks In his pocket all that's left of his ill-gotten gains and about 120 machine gun bullets sprinKiea around In his anatomy. Then who dares say that crime doesn't pay? Linfleld severs athletic relations with Willamette because of alleged vandalism on the part of somebody or something from our seoate oia school. We can't blame Linfleld much. Just read these football scores dating from way back in 1928; W. U., 36, Linfleld 0; W. U. 52, Lin- field 0; W. U. 54, Linfleld o; w. u. 19. Linfleld 6: W. U. 26.

There's a sufficient array of unadulterated, dyed-in-the-wool unmitigated vandalism to make any college president grind his teeth, that is, when his team Is the one that has been kicked about by tne vandals. We'll admit it's been no wav to treat the bovs over at Lin fleld and it's time to call a. halt. Willamette can fill in that date in the future by nicking on somebody its size and in the vandelizing line itself. irL Vnnpd a irinrtm i-norliner nff ft list of vitamines the other night and until he explained what it was about we thought he was reciting a It- ft Ilia nnnarnmmt Wlt.rnl boards.
