>>>>>~~><>~>~>>><

Portland, Ore, Nov. 1S-At Multi
nomah field this afternoon the foot
ball elevens from the University of
oregon and the University of Wash
ington are waging one of the fiercest
gridiron struggles in the history of
the northwest athletics.
With the teams very equally match
ed as to weight and experience, and
with the northwest collegiate champ
ionship at stake the game is battle
royal.
Prior to the game Coach Warner
of Oregon, expressed his feelings with
this remark
Il realize that we are going up
against team equally as strong as
that which has represented Washing
ton for the past two or three years,
and in spite of the impression which
the northerners have given of fear
ing the outcome, we shall not be ta-
ken unaware when the opening whis-
tie blows"
Speaking of the game Coach Dobie
of Washington said:
81 am surprised that the dope con-
tinues to make Washington such a
strong favorite over Oregon. Surely
the facts do not warrant such an esti-
mate. Washington will be outweigh
ed between seven and IL pounds to
the man by oregon and this will un-
doubtedly be a great advantage on
this kind of a field. I know that the
Washington team feels that the ad-
vantage is with Oregon, but they will
go on the field determined to give the
best that is in them
The lineup follows:

SHOWERS FOLLOW PRAYER.
Lexington Minister I'rays for Rain
- and Showers Come.

Truly, the prayers of the right
eous availeth much. Conducting a
prayer meeting in The Lexington
Baptist Church Tuesday night the
Rev. w. L. Keel offered fervent
prayer for rain. Whether or not this
prayer has been answered it matters
not.
However, it is a significant fact
that rain has fallen in practically
every section Of the county Wednes-
day afternoon, and the people gen.
orally are rejoicing. This is the
first rain that has fallen in several
weeks, and the situation had grown
serious. Many OF the wells have dri-
ed up and it is a common occurrence
to see farmers hauling water for
their stock.
Much of the cotton Is yet to come
up, and in some instances there is
some to be planted. While there is
nothing like a season of showers of
Wednesday afternoon are most re-
fresh and it is hoped that more
will follow Wednesday night and
Thursday.

Wednesday when military captive
balloon broke loose from its anchor
age. The officer was a novice at bal
looming and was unable to nanipu-
late the gas valve.
Finally when the balloon had
reached height of 16.50O feet, the
officer clambered to the top OF the
gas bag and succeeded in wrenching
open the valve. Then the balloon
began a headlong descent near Mum
ich, which is so miles from 1ngol-
stadt.
AS the balloon was nearing the
ground the officer jumped into tree
and was only slightly injured. Re
lieyed of the weight the balloon
again ascended and was later found
near Innsbruck.
