By l<ane Leneve The flock of Evening Groesbeaks which have frequented my dad’s yard each season for a short stay for the past thirty years, again made their appearaaee a short time ago. I shall never forget their first etop, when I was a small lad, 1 marveled at their parrot-like appearance and beautiful coloring and grabbing up my little red wooden air-gun I started out to get one. i succeeded in breaking the tip of one's wing and it came to the ground. Alton Grimes was with me and we both made a dash for the fall en bird. Alton beat me to it and grasped it in his band. Tbe result was something that I have nfever for gotten. The bird’s stout bill clamped down upon hie thumb with th* grip if a small vise and he had difficulty in , releasing it. The bird was finally dispatched and wo sat out to estab lish its identity. Marshall Way iden- tffled it as an Evening Grossbeak. Ami each seaeoa since that memor able day the birds pay,the yard an annual visit. But yeans and years have passed since they have been tthrred upon with air-rifles and they are now looked upon as old friends end fed during their brief stay end it is with regret that we watch their flpparture. The yard ahrays seems lonesome after their leaving, aa one misses their bright colors and pecu liar call. It la with a feeling of re gret and remorue that I gaie back upon the welcome that I accorded the first visit of this flock of birds, on thst long pest day.

He bad reached the willows, where the long limbs extended far out into the stream and had fastened the lead er about them in some manner. The Ash was out of sight but I could tell from the bugging of the line that he was still hooked. But how long would the leader stand the gaff? I decided to try end dislodge the line from the limb. 1 gave a hard sharp pull and something parted Corsos upon curses—it was my rod! Squarely in the middle it broke.- I tinreereci line ana waiKt*a amrorc wthv laid the broken rod upon the bank.

So offer ing up a prayer that there would be none of the fair sex, who some times firii the stream, out that particular day, I crawled ent upon a stout willow limb somewhere in the vicinity of where I figured my Ash was hung up. The water was muddy, but I traced the line out to where it disappeared almost beneath the end of the Hmb 1 was on. Then grasping the line firm ly with one bond,I let myself down into the depths of the potfl. Ye gods and small Ashes! And I thought that f was cold before!

The list has Coquille meeting Bandon, in the main course, while Marshfield and Myrtle Point get together for the dessert. Due to the fact that Bandon so de cisively outplayed Marshfield last Sat urday the main Interest has been turn ed toward the Tigers from the ada- coast Bandon is, of course, favored to vanquish the locals, but not withou' a real hard battle, Coquille still hav ing much prestige despite her 19 to C lk-king at the hands of Marshfield in the opening game. In outplaying Marshfield in their tie game last Saturday, Bandon’s now deal team under Coach French pre sented a hard-playing, tricky outfit which will play much better ball to morrow, now that the lads have been under fire. Bandon’s team is a sure tackling lot, the defense last Saturday refusing to let the Pirates’ back pass within dangerous scoring territory. Offensively the Tigers exhibited a punch which will be much stronger against Coquille. The Coquille eleven and Coach Hartley are not, however, holding Bandon in too much awe. Clearly they realise that they are the under- logs, but also they know that it to the drat time since 1929 that this has oeen apparent. That year Bandon de feated the Bed Devils, 21 toO, in the flrst game, but were tied fl to fl in -he second. In 1930 Bandon upset the Jope by tying Coquille, fl to fl, only to fall an easy prey, 20 to 0, in the team's second meeting. The follow ing year Coquille won, fl to 0, to be followed by another tie game, 0 to 0, in a sea of mud, while last season the locals clearly had the edge, 2 to 0 and 1» to 0. Coach Hartley, after having his «roes and moans at the outset of the year, has had more problems sat be fore him during the past two weeks. Harold Hatcher, regular fullback, has been on the injured list with a hand which he severely out last wintoi, while Swain, his substitute, has not been turning out for practice. Swain could have Ailed the position, but his attitude has placed him out of the question until a personal change re instates him. Hatcher might poasibly be able to start, and if not at fullback ho may be placed at a wing position. In the lat ter event, Ellis Newton, a hard-hitting halfback, wiH gain the fullback notch and Earl Morris, end, the half posi tion. Therefore the starting lineups- will most likely be: Coquille Bandon Hickam E R. Boak Pooh T Bullard Barton O Bowman Plaep Philpott Bonnicksen G McCue Robinson f , T Breuer Matney E Campbril Bailey Q B. Boak Davis H H. Boak Morris fl Jarvia Newton F Young «1 The collegiate schedule this week end to featured by the annual tradi tions) battle between Oregon and Washington. ¡Each fail this encounter is watted for with much enthusiasm, the interest thia season being more decided than in recent years. During the past five seasons Washington’« Huckies have <>een unable to score on the Wriifoot clan, but last year man aged to outplay the lemon-yellow and hold Callmen’s eleven to a scoreless tie. Thia seeoon the Huskies are out to get Oregon and stop the jinx. How ever, Private Guesa, who last week did both good and terrible in his pre dictions, and this week realise« that the task is much more difficult, gives his slant on the Oregon-Washing ton and other gssnes of interest: Both Oregon and Washington are good. One guess to almost as good as mother, and the breaks either way may give one of the clubs a seera. Washington to in better physical con dition. Eandon should defeat Coquille by me touchdown, 7 to 0, though it will he a great game with Hartley’s gang oosribly surprising. Myrtle Point’s tight defense will hold Marshfield most of the time, but the Pirates will score a touchddwn. The Pop Warner style at Banford will give the Indiana the edge over Northwestern in a great fight, 18 to 7. Willamette’s great team will ever- come College of Puget Bound, 12 to 0. The battle of the little giants, Oregpn Normal and Southern Ore- gon Normal will be torrid, the latter without the service« of her Elmer, the Great, Brown, being the underdog* [in better fashion by completing four Ail pan can do to to wake up aad ■ to roil out. 4. Atiany will be an easy prey for Columbia, 20 to 0. Washington State will, of course, defeat Montana, 30 to 0. Linfield, the underdogs, and Pacific will play a great game with the for mer winning, 18 to 7. If Stiner has developed a aoormg punch Oregon State will defeat San Francisco but we won’t surmise a score. U. S. C. and St. Marya are to play, but everybody knows who will win. The Trojans will score three touch - downs and St. Mary’s might count one. . . Outstanding in Coos county football circles last week was, of course, the Jhree tie games. However, many of the individual footballtots performed n limelight style. On the Bandon team word has been received that the Tigers huge tackle, Breuer, more than rerformed in great form in his ini- dal football attempt, while Young. fullback, and Harold Soak, half, of .he same team, also stood out. Har rison’s pass interception and follow ing 45-yard run to the Bandon four- yard line just before the Anal whistle was the biggest thrill of the Bandon- MarahAeM fray, though for the Pi rates the play of Diehl, guard, and Chan, quarterback, was more or less above their team-mates. Tlte Red Devil attack against the McKinley outfit was led by Joe Davis. Joe punted, passed and ran the bail with equal ability. Earl Morris, end, worked nicely on the receiving end of passes, while Alfred Plaep, center, was an entire line in nullifying the CCC plays. Ellis Newton, almost re covered from his illness, exhibited ability which should reach a peak when he to in better shape. At Myrtle Point, Mast, Bobcat full back, was a stonewall on defense, as was .Hall in the lino. Druliner, quar ter, carried off the offensive honors. For the champion North Bend squad. Smith, mite signal caller, Steiner, center, and Olson half, overshadowed their mates. ■ t * C. H. S. and McKinley 3-C Boya Play 6-C Tie ___ L_ Air-minded football featured the game last Saturday in which Co quille’s R*d Devito and the QCC team from the McKintoy camp tied, fl to 8, each touchdown being acored on a PIN. The McKinley team, a heftier outfit than the locals, put up a great fight in tying the locals, though Ooquilto’s running sttack piled up much more yardage and more first downs than ware registered by the visitors. Fum bling and penalties stopped Red Devil chances when scoring opportunities ware presented. McKinley registered the first touch down after getting a break on a fumbled punt late in the second quar ter. Unable to gain on three tries at the lino, the OOC quartetback heaved a paaa from the 80-yard line which an end took on the ten and car ried over. The Red Devil count also came on a fast down play, bat after a «ub- stantial drive from midfloU midway in the Anal period. The play came as a surprise when, with inches to go for a flrat down inside the five- yard territory, Joe Davis shot a left handed heave whieh Earl Morris hauled in within the end sone. All Tie Games Saturday In the league games last Saturday, Bandon and Marshfield and Myrtle Point and North Bend played to «corelesa ties as four fighting elevens battled fruitleaaly to gain at least a little supremacy in th* race for th* county bunting. Bandon’s dark hone eleven lived up to advance dope ia outplaying tbe Pi rates, coming close to scoring on mor* than one opportunity. Lack of a touchdown drive robbed the Tigers of the victory chance. In the other game Myrtle Point ab solutely upset the dope in fighting the 1982 champions to a tie. The Bull dogs out gained Myrtle Point, but a combination of real football spirit and exceptional punting rallied the Bob- cate through to glory.
