University of Oregon, Eugene, Nov. 17— Expectations of football fans from one end of the Pacific coast to the other were upset last Saturday when the University of Oregon not only held the strong Washington State college team to a 7 to 7 tie In a game played at Pullman, Wash., but also chalked up another touch­ down against the Cougars which was not allowed* by the referee. Previously Oregon had been class­ ed as one of the weaker teams of the coast conference and when W. S. C. held the powerful California elev­ en to a 14 to 0 victory, after the Bruins had defeated Oregon 39 to 0, football fans saw at least a 21 to 0 victory for the Washingtonites when they tangled with Oregon. The game found Oregon settling into stride after a slow season of preparedness during which Injuries played no small part In causing the poor showing made in’ ¡pre-season games. No forcasts can be made about the Oregon-O. A. C. game. A survey of the past many years shows a continu­ ous upsetting of “dope,” for no mat­ ter what is the past season showing of the two teams they are always equal when they line up against each (other. The resultant battle never fails to be a battle royal with a low score or tie game telling the final tale. TWO SCREEN FAVORITES TO BE IN “GIRL FROM NOWHERE” The two popular screen favorites, Cleo Madison and Wilfred Lucas, are to be seen In a remarkable picture of the rugged northwest at the Play House on Sunday. The Girl Frotu Nowhere is the name of the new photodrama. Cleo Madison has long been recog- äw ; TV A A a face which loses none of Its beauty when it is photographed. Her feat­ ures are as wonderfully clear and as finely formed as those of a Greek statue. It is this type of beauty coupled with her rare gifts as an ac­ tress, that has placed her name in the front rank of great motion pio- ture artists. Wilfred Lucas Is not only an actor of recognized worth, but is a direct­ or with big thlngB to his credit. For several seasons he acted under the direction of David W. Griffith and later was made director of one of Mr. Griffith’s companies. He, too, has a wonderfully expres­ sive “screen face.” His work in The Girl From Nowhere has been com­ mended as being one of the finest pieces of acting that he has ever done FRANK MAYO BACK IN NEW PLAY HOUSE PHOTOPLAY After appearing in several big pic­ tures of the outdoors Frank Mayo re- ttyns once more to the drawing room type of story and will be seen at the Play House Theatre next Wednesday in “The Fighting Lover.” But al­ though Mayo dons evening clothes in this story, he loses none of his accustomed vim and vigor. The title of the picture Is a true Index to the star’s personality. "The Fighting Lover” was written by Ben Ames Williams and directed by Fred Le- Roy Granville.

Mr. Bennlon and Mr. Jackson were out in the Juniper country Monday and were in Umatilla yesterday. They plan a number of meetings and ex­ pect to work on the rabbit pest In the country between Juniper and Arlington. Mr. Jackson says the farmers must work together to stamp out the evil as one farmer cannot do it alone. They are also giving out a solu­ tion for rat poisoning to those who want it, but are devoting most of their time now to rabbit poisoning. A big anti-rabbit campaign is plan­ ned for the winter.
