Flower" the dramatization of Chas.
Majors romantic novel, at the aud
itorium Wednesday evening, and every
one of the large audience seemed more
than pleased with the presentation of
the pretty play. A special train from
Moscow brought $50 people, and long
before the curtain rose standing room
was at a premium, proving that the
opera house management need have no
fears in bringing the better, though
high priced companies here. Miss
Knott won her audience from her first
appearance, and her charming person
ality and brilliant Characterization of
" Mary Tudor" caused all to overlook
the fact that some of the lesser lights
of her company were not especially
pleasing. The principal characters
of the play were we'll presented, Ogden
Stevens, as King Henry the Eighth, ]"
and Warren Conlan, as "Chas. Brand
on, - being good seconds to Miss
Knott.
The college football team return
ed from its Oregon trip last Monday,
with two defeats and Toodles, black
bear. The game with Willamette
University, at Salem, was played on
Oct. Is, and was lost by score of II
to 6. The teams were very evenly
matched. The game was lost largely
on account of poor headwork and gem
eralship. The overwhelming defeat of
% to 0 at Corvallis was due partly to
the fact that the boys were up against
a team of fast, heavy veterans and
very largely to fumbles and poor
work on the part of the college team.
Inc Ddll was lOSI OIlCc Oh uOWHS anu
eight times on fumbles. The boys
learned few things" and the exper-
fence in Oregon if properly taken ad-
vantage of will be the making of the
team. The mettle of the team will be
tested today in the game with the I'm
iversity of Montana.
