With excellent interference tho Yalo captain sped np the field and had reached the cen ter before he was thrown. Yale was penalized 15 yards for holding, the ball being placed on Yale's five-yard line. The Yalo stands were silent, while the. Harvard rooters were wnii with exultation. In the shadow oi his own goal posts and standing back of the goal line, Howe punted to midfield, Smith failing to block the kick by a fraction of a second. The Yalo rooters let out their pent up feelings in a mighty roar. Again the ball sailed buck and forth, Howe and Felt on exchanging punts.

Thanksgiving 1910 Lfet us return thanks. . The certified pledges of plenty arc national. For Oregon they are intensified; for the Rogue River valley, particularized. With the products of the Rogue River valley ruled high, with its quality' un cqualod in the world's -markets; with Medford 's commerce never so greatbefore; with improvements in evidence on every side, there should be a voic-s of "thanks giving in the cabin, tho mansion, the counting house. From till sections of southern Oregon that song should ascend next Thursday in volume and unanimity never before equaled. The past year lias seen vast'sums poured into every industrial, commercial and agricultural channel, and this great wealth is giving till Oregon unprecedented im pulse towards prosperity. It is the Rogue River valley, however, that 1ms boon seemingly chosen by providence for'a particular manifestation of its favor. A great fruit crop has been gathered and marketed for top prices throughout the marts of the world. Other infallible portents of prosperity are militantly apparent. Never did Thanksgiving come before to Medford with more to be thankful for. In this valley and city today exist prosperity and development at which tho world may well wonder. A paen of thankfulness should ascend for volume and variety of resources, a monopoly of civilization's most ouioyed product; unrealized assets charted upon the surface of ice cold actuality. Dramatic past; stupendous present; challenging future all arc here. The past year has witnessed a remarkble growth of town and country. More property has been improved than in any previous year. The overgrown country vil lage litis assumed the airs and graces of a young city. Miles of paved streets, water mains, cement walks, sewer mains, have made Medford si desirable place to live, while orchard villas are replacing-tho antiquated farm houses of a bygone period. The banks are thankful because they have over'$2,000,0.00 on deposit, an increase of nearly a million in a year. The ppstoffice for the extension of free delivery a great increase in its force and an increase in receipts to $20,000 a year. The people of Medford are thankful for the best of city administrations, an able and progressive executive and city council, for a live commercial elub and its wide awake president, for a 'half million dollar water system completed, for miles of pav ed streets and other municipal improvements. They tire thankful for a population of 10,000 as against 7000 a year ago. Orchardists are thankful for the successful fight against fruit pests, for Pro fessor O 'Clara, for improved horticultural methods. They are thankful thai a car of Rogue River Newtowns won the international chainpionship at Vancouver, as did a car of Spitzenbergs a year ago tit-tlic Spokane national show. The valley is thankful for the completion -of the Pacific & Eastern to vUutte Falls and the promise of James J. ITill that it will be extended across the Cascades to an eastern connection. In fact, we have so many things to be thankful for that it is impossible to enu merate them all not tho4east being the privilege of living in such a spot as the Rogue River valley, where God in his infinite wisdom, litis made a place Worth while. So let us return thanks. MICHIGAN WINS ANNUAL GAME . WITH MINNESOTA AN& ARMOR, Midi., Nov. VJ.
