WILLAMETTE
ALL READY FOR
BIG GAME

With only two days before the big
game with Corvallis, the Willamette
camp is in the hardest of prepara-
ton. Every evening this week the
boys have been out in great form
and are showing the speed that a
two weeks rest has given them. For
the first time this year a healthful
aggressive spirit is present, which
bowls over the second team like they
were men Of straw. Captain Black
well is beginning to show the class
that boosted him for the all north
west last year, and had he been able
to get into the game earlier in the
year, it would have been hard to find
better man for the center position.
Willamette is showing the true
sportsmn spirit this year. In the
face of overwhelming hard luck, not
a word of Encouragement has been
expressed by either the coach or the
members of the team and they are
going into the game at Corvallis Fri
day with the determination to win.
They are not Understanding the
strength of their rivals for they know
them to possess a fast and aggressive
delegation of equally determined
men, and which every way the score
goes, the battle should be royal
one.
The absence of Billy Booth at the
quarter position will greatly handi-
cap the local boys. Anywhere with
in 40 yards was close enough for him
as the two goals he kicked over Cor
Wallis last year shows. Young Hol-
man, however, is doing excellent
work for a new man at the position
and is imparting a confidence in the
team that Billy never seemed able to
engender. He gets the ball to the
right place at the right time and
follows it up with good interference.
Coach Sweetland is little du-
bious over his line. The men are
good enough and heavy but they
don't fight They don't seem to
realize that they are there to work,
to make holes, to break up plays and
help push the ball over the final
white line. If Bolt had the spirit of
Stearns, a little second team man, it
wouldn't matter how many men were
missing from the line because he
would be able to spill freight train.
Watson is another man who needs
his head rubbed in the sawdust, but
look out when you do.
McRae is the only heavy man in
the back field. Cummings, Rowland
and Erskine are good men but won't
average over 14S or $50 pounds, and
1t takes quite an amount of speed to
make up for Is or 20 pounds, espec-
tally when man that weighs that
much more is just as fast as you
are. Cummings, however, can
squeeze through any obstacle that
McRae can't get over, and if the
quarter keeps his head, the people
who are looking for Willamette to
get beaten by 80 to score will be
badly fooled.

Laughing Eyes.

That Wilkesbarre woman who
caused the arrest of a girl on the
charge that the latter used laughing
eyes" to "beguile' plaintiffs young
son experienced no sympathy at the
hands of the court The judge saw no
legal or moral ground for the arrest.
He not only set the girl free at once,
but complime nted her on the posses
sion of those laughing eyes"
So far as may be judged by the pub
Iished report of the case, the court
was eminently sound and wise. If
anybody should be arrested and placed
in confinement in connection with
such matter it is the young man
himself. The young woman to whom
Providence has accorded the gift Of
laughing eyes is a blessing to the
community. There is too much sor-
row, too much occasion for tears, in
our sad old world. If any young fell
low is in danger Of being "beguiled"
unduly by that Wilkesbarre style Of
optics, he should be placed in safe, if
not solitary, confinement.

WHEN TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE
English Lady Would Have Men Pro-

The London papers. wearying Of

as to the time at which man should

AT the earliest opportunity But
there has come forward a certain
Lady Troubridge with a suggestion
more amplified as well as more orig
snal than that. She would have men
propose By daylight only, and at that
preferably before breakfast, at the
hour when the human being is sup
posed to be at the worst.
In making this suggestion Lady
Troubridge does not feel that she is
advocating anything which will work
against the ancient custom of marry
ing and giving in marriage. She does
not feel that the adoption of her idea
would deplete the strength of the en-
pire. She feels. rather. that it would
strengthen the social fabric.

Caution of Martens and Foxes ls
Taken Advantage of by Hunters
in Northern Maine.

Olamon, Me-A curious feature OF
trapping fur bearing animals in the
woods of northern Maine is that in
many cases the hunters are enabled
to succeed by reason of the extreme
caution of the animals themselves.
Along the swift waters of the upper
Penobscot river the most valuable fur
is that Of the slim and alert fisher
cat or marten. The American fisher
is one of the most cautious creatures
of the forests and streams, and only a
few Indians and white trappers have
the secret of Turing it to the vicinity
of traps. The fisher will never nego-
tiate anything but live fish for bait,
and will never approach its food save
from the shore side of a stream or
lake
AS a rule when winter fishermen
catch trout through the ice they pass
on from hidden eddies to deep holes,
chopping canals in the surface ice as
they go, which when filed with wa
ter are used to hold the live trout I'M
til they return over the same stream
later in the day. The trappers of fish
er cats, finding half torpid trout
squirming about in the Icy water,
make ready to carry out their plans.
The fiat trencher of stout steel trap
is baited with live trout, which has
become too weak to spring the mech
anism, and deeper water canal than
usual is chopped far inshore, if pos
sible under a limb of an overhanging
tree
The fisher never walks up or down
the stream on the open ice, but clings
close to the shore At the sight of
the living trout on top of the ice the
fisher creeps out cautiously and hav-
ing made sure the coast is clear leaps
directly from the shore or the tree on
top of the trout, only to be clutched
in the jaws of the trap.
In most parts of New England foxes
enter baited traps set in running wa
ter without great hesitation. Further
north along the Allagash river not
fox will enter a trap save through
strategy, although the bait may be
scented with secret preparations cost
Ing much money to buy and use.
