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-

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

pieces of acting that he has ever done

A meeting was held at the Henry
Ott farm Tuesday at which County
Agent Fred Bennlon and R. T. Jack-
son of the U. S. biological survey
explained a new rabbit poison solu
tion which is said to be giving ex
cellent satisfaction in other districts
where it has been tried.
The solution is made up as follows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychinine in
three fourths of a quart of water.
Then in one fourth of a quart of wat.
er mix a pint of flour and two tea
spoonfuls of soda. Add the strych
nine solution to this and pour it all
over about 12 pounds of rolled bar
ley.
