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.
