Good of the Oregon Agricultural college, whose subject was “ Our Brother by the Bal tic Sea." Mr. Good went into the history of Russia and at great length spoke of her trials during the great world war and of her splendid stand amid overwhelming difficulties. Link« Ing this up with ber present state under bolshevik rule, he appealed for a spirit of tolerance towards her peo ple in view of the years of oppres sion and hardships. He showed something of her power and her pos- * si bl titles and foretold her final vic tory over her present state and showed how her present struggle was like our own Struggle for freedom from England even though her meth ods were very different. Ted Goodwin of the Eugene Bible University was g iv e « second place, bis oration being entitled, “ Loyalty and Law.” Mr. Goodwin’s appeal was for a better attitude on the part of the pople towards our laws. He laid special emphasis upon our duty toward obeying all laws whether we liked them or not and gave the eigh teenth amendment an important place in his oration. His subject was timely and bis presentation o f it was very strong. Certainly one could not help but fee^that he was «entitled to a place among the winners. Francis E. Taylor of Pacific Uni versity of Forest Grove was awarded third place by the Judges. Mr. Tay lor’s subject was "The Winning Tide” and bis oration was a very good one. He drew a picture of the great relentless movement of the tides and Bhowed how irresistible it Is and how, though the surface of the ocean may indicate a very different movement, tide sweeps ever on ward. He likened the conditions which exist in the world today and the great movements of past ages to ttts «Ma. The tide which put slavery out of existence was used as an il lustration of this unyielding onward movement In the affairs of men. Mr. Taylor’s choice as one of the winner* must certainly have also been a pop ular one. On the whole, we should not have likeu to have^jieen a Judge at this contest, for there was, to our mind, no great outstanding oration. In stead there was an unusual number of very excellent ones. In fact on a mere cursory listening to them, we would have been sore pressed to select from five or six of the nine. The Judges were: Wallace Lee oh Albany, Frank Hilton of Portland, and R. W. Robbins. Probably there was not as large an attendance from the various in stitutions as is usual, but this may be'accounted for by the epidemic of sickness which is so prevalent. In the afternoon the annual business meeting of the Intercollegiate Ora torical association of Oregon was held and tbe following officem wese elected: Olive Saix^of Albany col lege, president; Ursuk Brock of Lin- fleld college, vice-president; Flora Campbell of Pacific college, secre tary; and Ross Guiley of Eugene Bi ble university, treasurer. Albany was selected as the place for next year’s contest. The program as given at the con test was as follows: Vocal solos. “ Love’s Coronation” and “ Beloved, It Is Morn,” Mias Eva Miles. Oration, "Loyalty and Law,” Ted Goodwin of Eugene Bible university. Oration, “ Hollywood Mofals versus American Ideals,” Ernest R.

C in LOSES FIRST ROUND IN FIGHT AGAINST AUTO STAGES Judge Belt in special session of court st McMinnville on Tuesday of this week heard the case of the Port- land-Newberg-McMInnville Stage Co. vs. the City of Newberg and the Pub lic Service Commission of Oregon, wherein the stage company sought an injunction against the city of New- berg to prevent It from collecting a license fee of $2160 per annum. The stage company through Its attorney. B. A. Kliks of McMinnville, assigned a number of reasons why the ordi nance was void. The court held the charge excessive and a preliminary injunction was made perpetual, and the city was prohibited from making any arresta The company Heretofore paid the charge of $540 quarterly, bub as other cities were about to make like charges, and upon the ad vice of Mr. Kilks, the company re fused to pay anything whatever. What thé final outcome may be is unknown. The city has not decided what action they will take. It is possible that an appeal may he taken but nothing definite has been decided upon. ----------o— OIL PR 0M 0TEB8 A B E AR BESTED ON A R R IV A L On s telegraphic warrant from 8anta Afta, Cal., charging grand lar ceny, Deputy Sheriffs Schlrmer and MacDonald Sunday arrested Panl Dressel and E.

A meeting was held at tbe legion ball Monday evening at which about fifty persons. Including legionnaires and business men were present and discussed tbe problem, the outlook, and the prospects for se curing the funds. The tone of the meeting was very optimistic and the sentiment seemed to be unanimously In favor of the project. S. L. Parrett was chosen as chairman of a com mittee to raise funds and Mr. Par- rett showed that be was in earnest by appointing tbe hourtof 8 a. m. the Fast Game Is W on By Local Team Ttwhdisrrtet L. J It was just as the Graphic said last week, a raw deal that Newberg should have to play Tillamook again after the percentages of the two teams gave our high school the championship of tbe district, but Newberg played It as true sports should and went to McMinnville In force on Monday night and defeated Tillamook in a fair and square game, thus demonstrating the superiority of our team over the coast city team. Newberg has a reall ball team and they play a mighty fast game. Both Carson and Nelson put up a splendid game at forward and play together In line shape. Carlisle at center while not able to get the ball over his op ponent on the Jump off, plays a good floor, game and Cronin and Mainwar- ing at guard are always in the thick of it messing up their opponents and preventing their getting shots. The game with Tillamook was very similar to the two games played with McMinnville except that it was perhaps faster and rougher. T illa mook started the scoring by throwing two fouls. Then Main war ing tied the score with a field basket. T illa mook then got a field goal and from that time on to the* end of the first half It was see-saw hack and forth. Tillamook was two points In the lead at the end-of the first half. New berg started the second half w lth 'a field goal by Carson, which he fo l lowed with another in a short time, giving Newberg tbe lead. Tillamook never recovered the lead after this and at the end the score stood 19 to 16 in favor of Newberg. Nelson and Stark were both put out of the game in the second half for having made four personal fouls each. Tone of Tillamook was in jured In the last half and had to be taken out of the game. Newberg made seven field goals and five foul shots, while Tillamook made five field goals and six foul shots.
