Twenty-Five husky young collegians

long and lusty cheers proclaimed him
the best outsider who ever donned the

ard BUTLER, leading man with the
Lubin company, who plays the lead in
"A Mans Making" a new five act
feature motion picture.
Director eek Pratt needed a foot
BALI team for the big scenes in the
picture and the happy idea of using
the Penn Varsity team occurred to
him-so with the aid of Pratts as
sistant Teefy it was done and BUTLER
Travelled over to Franklin Field and
got in line Some surprise was in
store for the -'youngsters'' for they
had forgotten that not many years
ago Buffers name was more or less
prominent in football records and the
way in which he slammed through the
line for a twenty-five yard gain on
the very first down, woke them all up
to the fact that 1.-The Hero" was more
than in name only. An excellent pic
ture of BUTLER dropping the ball over
the goal posts from the forty yard
lire was recorded and forms part of
the exciting six or seven hundred feet
which show Butler. in the chara cter
of the son in "A Mans Making" at
college. This excellent picture with
four acts of vaudeville is seen at the
Novelty for two more shows tonight.

MID WEST GOLFERS CAN'T GET
FAR WEST FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
(By United Press)

CHICAGO, July THE 1877 West
ern Amateur golf championship prob
ably will go to the far west. Golfers
of the middle western states, includ-
ing the present title holder Chick
Evans, cannot make the trip to the
Del Monte, CAL, course where the
championship play will take place, be-
cause of the great distance and the
amount of time needed. Evans an
nounced some time previous to the
qualifying rounds, scheduled for July
II, that he could not defend his title
because of the action of the associa-
ton in choosing the far western golf
course as the battle ground. Only
two men of championship calibre in
the Chicago district, which has pro-
duced champions for the last seven
teen years, are among the scheduled
contestants. They are Ned Sawyer,
Weston and E. Hoover Bankard, Mid
lothian. AS result of the disadvan-
tages in the Western Golf association
championship contest, most of the
Chicago stars win journey to Phila-
delphia in August to play for the ma
tional amateur championship.

NEW ORLEANS. La, July ~
Death and destruction hes in the wake
Of the most terrific gulf storm which

Contenders for Championship Hon.
ors Meet on Neutral Floor

Saturday night at Caldwell the
Mountain Home and Payette Basket
Ball teams will play a game to
which unusual interest attaches for
the reason that it will decide which
team is entitled to championship
honors in the school league of this
part of the state. The challenge
comes from Payette.
The Rupert team had been in the
championship class until eliminated
by the fact that 1t refused to meet
either the Payette or Mountain Home
team on neutral floor, and as the
records of both the Mountain Home
Payette teams are fully as good as
that of the Rupert team, and they
have just as good a claim to the
championship, is was concluded that
they should play the deciding game.
1t is hoped that a good crowd of
boosters will go along with the team,
which leaves on the 1928 train, to
lend their moral support in winning
the honors for Mountain Home. The
Oregon Short Line has authoriz ii a
fare of $3.50 for the round trip.
