Athletic Council Favor Pas
adena Game for New .
Years Day
NEW YORK, Doc. 1. Colgate
university Is considering seriously
an invitation to represent the .east
in an inter-sectional football game
on New Year's Day at Pasadena.
J. A. Migel, chairman ot the Col-
game athletic council informed the
United Newa Tuesday night.
The council has left the matter
up to , Capt. Tryon. . his,, team. .and
.the college authorities, after giving
what virtually amounts to approval
to the project. "
"Colgate university Is essentially
an institution ot learning," Migel
said, "and we do not care partic
ularly to encourage football 'barn
storming.' "Our understanding . of this in
vitation however, la that we are
to meet Washington, the champions
ot the Pacific coast, and that the
inter-sectlonal game Is to be ar
ranged under the auspices of the
conference there.
"This makes it an offlcal affair
and under those circumstances and
no others would we consider send
ing the team west.
"While the members of the foot
ball squad probably would profit
by getting back to their scolastlc
pursuits, Capt. Tryon and hla team
made such a creditable showing this
season that many would like to see
them given the opportunity ot meet
ing the best ot the west.
"We have decided therefore to
put the matter up to the team."
Migel's statement following on
the heels of an announcement that
the promoters of the tournament of
roses had been unable to find an
eastern contender for their lnter
sectional gridiron' spectacle, Indi
cated that there was considerable
likellhpod ot Colgate going to the
coast.

Rifle Discharged in
2d Hand Store
SAID TO BE ACCIDENT
Police Force Adjourns to
Scandinavian Hall
Fight Program
While Klamath Falls policemen
were enjoying the boxing ahow at
the Scandla hall last night, aware
that there .bad been a disturbance
on Klamath avenue, newspapermen
eventually lifted the veil of mys
tery which had surrounded a
shooting which had occurred, near
ly two hours before, at the Wil
liams New A Second Hand Ooods
store, 624 Klamath avenue.
No one waa Injured when a rifle
was said to have been discharged
by C. W. Williams, proprietor of
the place. Reports were that the
gun went off while Williams was
engaged In cleaning 11.
Newspapermen failed utterly In
their attempts to learn anything
from Chief of Police Harry Loucks
who, after some time, was located
at the scene of the fights. Despite
the fact that he was aware a shoot
ing had occurred and said he was
acquainted with no details. Chief
Loucks admitted he had failed even
to enter the premises or to make
a thorough Investigation.
"What do. you know of tho shoot
ing?" he was asked when, finally.
V, na if (sunward tiniU- ttlA rinK-
siaa, .-. : . , .. .
"Don't know nothing about It."
"Did you know there was one?"
"Yeah. Some family stuff ' I
guess."
"Did you enter the establishment
to find out anything?"
Loucks paused for a moment and
his eyes left the ring.
"No I didn't go In." he admit
ted. '
Mrs. Williams, questioned by a
reporter, said that her husband
had accidentally discharged the .22
rifle while he was cleaning it.
"At first I thought he had shot
himself." she said, "and I ran out
side yelling that he had. Later
I discovered differently."
Reports that Mayor Goddard had
requested policeman to investi
gate, and that the policeman had
declined,' saying he had no war
rant, were last night denied by tho
mayor who, also, was at the boxing
show.
Chlet Loucks, who was accom
panied by Patrolman Morgan, ap
peared to be too interested In tho
bouts to give much attention to
tho. questions of reporters. . . ...
Mrs. Williams said that the Shot
from her husband's gun went wild.
