Forest Grove Again Victorious Last Saturday the Medicos from the University of Oregon were defeated by Pacific, 11 to 1. But the game, al though a victory, was not satisfactory to the local team. The men had bei n changed about and the new line up proved inferior to the old arrangem ent. T he playing was slow and the inter ference was poor. T he score should have been at least doubled in the twenty minute halves, which were played. Both touchdowns were made in the first half. After they were made Pacific seemed content to rest on its laurels and did not attempt to score again. T he last half was char acterized by ragged and spiritless foot ball on both sides. Mrs. Sarah. E. Crow of Portland, was Harris in this city Wednesday and Thursday visiting friends. i a X ♦
