The school team started the season with an impressive string of victories, but has lately gone Into a minor slump, from which they expect to emerge Sunday.

She denied she was "drunk." or participated in an all night drinking party that ended with a pokor gamo in tho men's lounge. "Those things are untrue." she snapped. "I drank champagne on the boat all right, but never more than six or seven glasses. The committee didn't have any control over tho team, but t'm not going Into that.

"They didn't give me a chance.'' she said. "I was the goat. Thoy never gave mo an official warning at any time. It was a well known fact that I drank champagne. I never tried to keep It secret."

Rocky Point and Lake of the Woods continue' good for silvers! des, bass and perch. Fish lake and Its outlet 'to the bridge and Big Elk road are now closed. In Four-Mile lake the sllverslde ilshlng is very good by still fishing with worms. The water from the lake has been shut off; the road la very rough but passable. Fishing Is poor in Big Butte and lower South Fork, while upper Middle Fork and Seven lakes remain good. Upper South Fork and Blue Canyon are fair. "In the Little Applegate and Glade forks fishing Is fair and quite a few are being caught In Elliott creek. The swimming facilities at the new McKee bridge campground on the Applcgate river past Star ranger sta tion are proving very popular, al though all the Improvements at this campground are not yet completed. "The huckleberry crop Is now at Its height. There are approximately eo camps at Huckleberry City and pickers are averaging about three gal lons a day. From 10 to 12 thousand gallons of berries will be taken from this vicinity this season. A special forest guard Is now stationed there to direct plckera to berry patches and to desirable camping spots. On the Umpqua divide berries may be found at Huckleberry' lako and Long Prairie. In the Butte Falls district the crop Is only fair because many of the berries are turning white with fungus. Scattered patches may be found at Blue Rock. Blue Canyon, Parker Meadows, upper South Fork, Wickiup and Seven lakes. "Thla year'a fire record on the Rogue River national forest contin ues to be excellent, there having been only one fire during the past ten days. This fire was caused by a careless camper leaving his fire un extinguished, and while it was luck ily discovered In time to be put out ! before any damage resulted, It might I easily have burned many acres of ! timber.

Use Mail Tribune want ads TO REVISE IDEAS If there remains a skeptic In south ern Oregon who still clings to the old notion that wrestling Is a game In which the participants do little else besides grunt, howl dramatically and grovel on the canvas, that skep tic seems due for a rough shock Mon day night if he happens to be at the Armory, For on that evening four of the country's ace meanlea will ply their nefarious trade. Bob Montgomery, who never grovels on the canvas if he . can get his opponent there firat with a lusty kick to the slats, and Cherokee Ike, bugle mouthed Okla homa Indian, meet. The aborigine has the same unorthodox notion of wrestling that haa mfected Mont gomery, and he would apparently rather get heaved out of the arena onto his skull than apply a standard grip. The nearest the two get to the old kind of grappling Is that they both sweat, profusely, with the added Innovation that they both bleed handily. Joe Hubka, aa polite a young man aa you would meet In a day s fast bicycle ride If he la not Imposed upon, will meet the Hibernian scoun drel Pat O'Brien In the middle event. O'Brien, a newcomer. Is said to have picked up his wrestling while indulg ing In that old Irish game called 'hurling," In which the object seems to be to clout the opposition firmly on the head with a club every time the referee Is not looking. Cherokee Ike did that same thing to Hubka last week, using his gnarled fist for tho club, but the Bohemian took umbrage at the liberties, and handed the Indian an unmerciful whacking. He may have to do the same to ac commodate O'Brien. Fans, who have not had a good wholehearted "booh" escape from their systems since the departure of the master buffon.

Craig, barrel chested and powerful, looks as though he could hold up his end of a rough house dispute, and his anvil flip last week Impressed the fans as a good way to reduce an op ponent to a state of nervous prostra tion. With a meanle or a super-meanle on each spot, a big crowd la expected. f Use Mall Tribune want ads. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 21.

It appears to be pointing the great one toward the best season of his big league career. Old Dlz is turning in those vic tories at the rate of two a week and at his current pace may come close to hitting the 35-mark in games won for the campaign. His strikeout and bases-on-balls records for the season so far com r"ra favorably with his best year, 1034, when he won 30, lost seven, fanned 05 batters and walked only 75. His record for the. current cam paign Is 21 won against eight lost. Ho has a winning streak of six ttralght, and he has his eye on the Giants' coming road trip, when he'll be bearing down to end the threat cf Bill Terry and company on the National league lead.
