Thousands of them were poisoned and thousands of them fell beneath the guns of hunt ers. In years past, grain fields would be covered with these birds, resembl ing a great blue wave as they walked and flew about feeding on the grain. There are still a large number of pig eons left but nothing like in the past- They are as destructive as ever. They are forever taking the fanner’s grain and raiding orchards of young fruits and.even invading strawberry patches. There is a strange thing about our ruffled gkouee. As far as I know, nat uralists are still pondering the ques tion. Different conclusions have been drawn, different theories advanced, but as far as I know no one has ever produced any positive proof as to what really happened to these birds. Sixty yearn ago, from the abundance of that period they practically disap peared within two years time.

Hartley has shifted many players frosn their ladt year’s positions. Linus Seeley has boon moved from half to end where he played hto Freshman and Sophomore years. Russell Martindale to now a tackle after playing a guard post. Craig Perrott, a full-back in 1921, is playing quarter, while Alvin Shaver has taken over Psrrott’s old duties, moving from the «rings. Helmkin is a half after playing tackle before. The veterans not moving.are Cooper, end; Ireland and Martindale, guards; and Plaep, center. Burch, half, and Greenough, tackle, are the'newcomers. Coquille should be strong in reserve strength, with these players liable to replace a regular at the slightest let doom. Hartley, however, likes play ers who can stand the full hour of football competition, but he is not backward at replacing a player who to not working up to expectations. The prospects are promising, but only actual competition will bring out the good and the bad. ' DEAN JOHN STRAUB d ■ » i I ■ * ..

To bring this about it was necessary for the high school to change the Bandon games, bringing the latter school here on October 29, and Coquille playing there on October , r— The plans are for a.division of'the profits derived from the game, the half which the Corn Show receives going in with the relief fund. t In viewing the football games this year don’t forget the new rules. It to now necessary for five players on the receiving team to line Up within fifteen yards of the ball, while flying tackles and blocks have been definitely eiiminarted.

Is it possible to train a domestic cat so that it will not catch birds? “Yea,” says Nevy Hatcher, “we own such a cat.” I was very much inter ested to learn how the feat was ac complished and Nevy explained to me that from the time the cat eras a small kitten that both he and his wife boxed its ears every time it so much as looked at a bird. Nevy claims that cats .are broken not to catch chickens, to why can’t they be trained not to molest birds. There is a lot of logic in that all right Any way the Hatcheiw have a cat that will not catch birds. It will feed within a few feet of them but pays no atten tion to them whatever. Thia to in deed a rare sight. A good eat is worth a lot about a farm and about a house that is infested with rats. It to natural for them to catch birds and that to why many bird lovers will not own a eat But if they can be broken of the habit as easily as the Hatchers broke their cat the bird catching habit may be eliminated. It is hard to realise that the chief financial worry of a high school to how the officials are going to be paid. The boys are always willing to play in any ty|ft of uniform, ’ ragged or natty, while if necessary they would walk to a neighboring town to parti cipate 4n a game. Those matters are secondary. When it cornea to paying the officials a snag is struck. Last year Coquille, for instance, played two or throe games before crowds not lsrge enough to look at. -Perhaps fif teen cents was taken in, but the of- fiicials had to be paid anywhere from five to twelve dollars, and three' of them at that. ‘ Why can't the school men get to gether long enough to arrange for a aatisfadtory way of hiring officials without breaking a student body? One coach ought to be willing to co operate with another coach, while the men teachers and principals could Sport Briefs easily do the work gratis.
