Harvard to three or four touch
downs, with a possible score for
the McGuginites.
Percy Haughton is not going To
extend his team on the Saturday
after the Princeton game. Wen

out Of most of the game Several
linemen will probably be preserved
for later use. This custom has been
consistently followed by the Grim

their heroes hard to roll up a big
score on the Commodores.

Vanderbilt, on the other hand.
will be up against its hardest game
of the season. But Hardage and
Collins should certainly be able to
slip over several long runs.
If Haughton runs in some subs.
and then if Vandy pulls a couple of
successful forward passes. a score
for the Nashvillians should result.
There is indeed, no reason why
Vanderbilt should not get away
with some passes and trick plays.

in his subs, unWOund five success

This backfield, too, it must be
remembered, works behind a wall
of interference, wonderful pro-
lection. Coach Percy Haughton,
in secret practice, has an interfer-
ence dummy rugged up for the
players. This is used daily. The
men are taught to hurl themselves
before any tackler, anywhere, at
any time To this prsrtice Of UNI
selfish team work must be credited
much of the success of Harvard's
backfield,
Vandy Has Fast BackfieId
Vanderbilt, like most of the big
Eastern teams, is this year blessed
with fast backfield. Harvards
ends. consequently, will have their
hands full The ends of the Grim
son, while not as high in average
IS the backs, are good, safe play
ers. Sam FELTON, is an Old eXpe-
rienced veteran He is a savage
tackler and great punter. Fell
ton left leg is being counted on to
boot Harvard out of many a pre-
carious position. HOLSTER, another
old end, was out on the field at
practices. but he tells me he is
still on probation. Coolidge. Froth-
ingham,, Milholland, O'Brien and
others are being groomed for the
other end
Harvard's line has been fighting
all the year with a determined
d0ggedness The wall of defense
is as stable and tough as a barbed
wire fence. Composed of warriors
like Hitchcock, Storer, TrumbulI
and Pennock, this defensive brigade
can hurl back the attack of the
hardest line plungeT. The charge
made by the line is hard and low.
and the repulse delivered is severe.
There is no trouble here. The line
will fight, and fight well to the last
ditch.

teams playing here that day could
catch early trains to some point
where they were scheduled to play
Sunday games.
Now, it has happened for the last
two years that nothing has mat
tered much-early games. late
games. or no games at all For the
team has been so supremacy rotten
that nobody cared hang for the
games, anyhow, But suppose the
Crackers get in the pennant hunt
again-they have been there a
couple of times within the last ten
years, you will recall--think of the
hundreds, of the thousands of dol
lars, that will be lost if Saturday
afternoon games are called too
early
This state Of affairs has come
about because the Southern league
has acquired a false notion of the
importance of Sunday games as
compared with Saturday games. In
the Sunday towns they don't have
any attendance at all. to speak of,
except on Sunday. SO they have to
play up these games strong. At the
same time Atlanta-with a team
better than eighth--is the best Sat
urday town in the Southern league.
1t should not get the worst OF it.
There must be some way to devise
a scheme so that all the Saturday
games are not cut into.

A CHANGE OF DAYS

The Tidings has for some time
been considering changing the days
of publication from Mondays and

1t has decided to take advantage of
the enforced delay in this issue to
make the change and the next paper
will appear on Friday. This change
is made for various reasons and will,
we believe, prove more acceptable to
our readers as well as much more
convenient for the force. We shall
go to press much earlier in the day
than heretofore and it will be neces-
sary that all copy for advertisements

These are only some of the spe-
cific examples of Dunn's good roads
work There were many others.
Besides no account is taken of the
work done by the surerl isors IN
their several districts am only
speaking of the expenditures made
directly under the authority OF Judge
Dunn's court.
"Of course, Judge Dunn did not
have the funds available OF suffj-
cient tenure of office to build good
roads in every part of the county
where they were needed. Some OF
his neighbors in his home district
south of Ashland complained that
they were not getting Their share Of
Improvements in this respect. But
Judge Dunn knew the limit to which
he could go and did not propose to
sanction unauthorized Indebtedness
for road building, realizing that we
could not expect to have all the bad
roads transformed into good ones
within the short period of four years.
why, the total amount raised for
road purposes by taxation during the
four years of Judge Dunn's admin
tration was, according to the official
figures taken from the county rec
ords, S90,266, or an average of less
than $23, 200 per year. During the
first three years of the present ad-
ministration Il have not the figures
for 1922 there was expended by
the same department of work $4O2,-
110, or over $134, 900 per year.
What do you suppose we would have
had in the way of good roads now
if Judge Dunn had directed the ex-
penditure of such sums as were
available or made available by the
issuance of warrants the past four
years? l am sure we would have
had value received for our money,
which we have not been getting the
past four years.
THE first modern building
machinery owned by Jackson county
was bought during Dunn's admins
tratoin. When he entered the of
flee there was practically nothing
possessed by the county in the way
of road-building equipment.
They don't want to talk to me
about Dunn not being progressive
when it comes to the good roads
proposition. They can't flimflam
me on this score again. Four years
ago the Mail-Tribune pulled the wool
over the eyes of some of us, but
four years of Mail-Tribune dictation
has made us appreciate the really
constructive work that Dunn did.
Those Of us who have known Jack
son county as it was before Dunn
went into office could draw a pretty
good picture of the contrast in pub
lie roads, as well as other matters
pertaining to the office of county
judge, when Dunn's term expired,
compared with the primitive condi-
tions existing when he took hold of
the work"

For County Judge---George Nv. Dunn

That Mr., Dunn is not one of
those who let their stock trust to
luck and the hope of warm winter
was proven by the large barns and
feeding corrals, as well as by the
many stacks of hay which dotted the
fields and gave promise of good feed
for the winter.
1t only takes a glance around to
see that Mr.. Dunn has made good
by reason of hard work, careful man
agement and continued hustle. But
with all his interest in the so-called
practical side of farm life Judge
Dunn has not let the aesthetic side
OF life suffer, either for himself or
for his family. The stock has not
been cared for at the expense of the
wife and children, as is often the
case.
The house which came to him with
the purchase of the homestead from
the rest of the heirs is comfortable
structure. The reporter upon en-
tering was shown into a comfortable
sitting room with a broad, deep fire
! place which threw out a cheerful ra-
dance and very comfortable glow
of warmth. In the room were
number of rockers, chosen for COM
fort rather than extreme style, and a
large leather couch at one side urged
the visitor to make himself comfort
able. Across the hall is Mr.. Dunn's
den, where he does his writing, etc,
While to the rear are the dining
room and kitchen.
The structure was nearly doubled
in size by Mr.. Dunn last year, at
which time he added all modern inn
proVements.
Mr. Dunn a few years ago put in
a large reservoir on tho upper part
of the place and has put in COM
plete set of private waterworks.

reservoir to the buildings. The yard

would compare well with many a

them an efficient fire protection.

Kitchen, bath, and in every way his

fathers builded.
The exterior of the house, or at
least the front OF it, h largely COW

the shade of the large weeping will

from the summer heat.
The yard is well kept and shows a
variety of flowers, berries and fruits
which are uncommon upon ranch,

just coming into bearing.
Nor is Mr.. Dunn only successful
as farmer. His native abilities
have enabled him to accumulate con-
siderable capital, more than is need
ed for the management of his farm,
and that has been largely invested
in business enterprises of known
solidity. MIR. Dunn is a stockholder
in and a member of the board OF di-
rectors of the United States Nation

National Bank of Medford where his
well-known good judgment makes
him a much valued adviser in the
work of the institutions.

MIR. DUNN'S FARM HOME
Tidings Representative Visits Farm
OF Mr.. Dunn and Notes Many
Evidences of Progress.

Someone has said that "a man
whose animals love him may always
be trusted" Anyone who has seen
the horses, mules and cattle gather
around Judge George w. Dunn at
his ranch on Neil creek would be
certainly justified in trusting him
with his all. And no surer method
of Judging a man can be found than
this.
A representative of the Tidings
was accorded the pleasure of visit
with the judge at his ancestral home
recently. The house, which is one
of the large, substantial dwellings
erected by the best class of our
pioneers, is charmingly located, just
back from the road, partically con
cealed by a magnificent weeping will
low tree which looks as if it might
have been planted half a century
ago, as it probably was, Mr.. Dunn S
father, the late Patrick Dunn, hav-
ing homesteaded the place (if that
is the proper term for the entry of
government land in southern Oregon
at that time) in 1852. 1t was on
this farm that Mr.. Dunn first saw
the light of day and it has been his
home most of the time since.
Born almost within the breath of
the winds from the Pacific ocean,
George w. Dunn had neither incen-
tive nor opportunity to take Horace
Greeleys advice to young men and
GO west and grow up with the
country" Instead. he staid in the
Rogue River valley and grew up
with it. In his early manhood he
rented his fathers farm OF about
200 acres, tilling thus until he was
able by hard work and frugal saving
to buy about 60 acres adjoining the
home farm. This he farmed along
with the home place until after his
fathers death, when he purchased
the interests of the other heirs in the
place.
This he has been farming and i'm
proving until today he has farm
which in fertility and beauty has few
equals in the valley. Lying along
Bear creek, the entire tract is under
ditch from Neil creek and can be
and is practically all irrigated.
Mr.. Dunn is engaged principally
in stock raising and in raising hay,
his alfalfa and grain hay finding a
ready market in Ashland not only
because OF it's excellent quality, but
because ton from George Dunn
means 1000 pounds, not any less
amount.
OF the 800 acres in the ranch about
150 acres are in alfalfa, 40 acres in
grain hay and the rest in garden,
corn and pasture. Mr.. Dunn has
found the raising of alfalfa one of
the most certain branches of
farming and has proven it very prof
table.
Combined with this he raises con-
siderable stock of various kinds,
some very handsome calves and a
pair of as handsome young mules
as are to be found in southern Ore
gon being occupants of one of the
pastures near the house at the time
