on part of the sophomOres and Juniors
of the university which had consisted
of wild joy rides into the wilds of Polk
county, shaved skulls, battered ply
saues and sundry other notifications
of the flesh. All rules for the contest
had been definitely formulated by an
upperclass committee, but the mere
complications of rules was not suffi-
cient TO overcome the antagonistic spir-
its of the rival classes and the affair
became no Boston Tea party. Under the
direction of Coach Mathews the adher-
ents of the opposing forces lined up at
each goal line and dashed for the bags
in the center of the field. Here friend
ly strife appeared as efforts were made
to convey the bags to one or the 9TH
er goals. Beddingfield got away for the
first bag down for the sophomores and
Captain Johnny Mann soon followed
suit Through the courtesy of two high
y excited and mentally unbalanced
freshmen an additional bag was pre-
sented to the sophomores, the verdant
classmen believing it to be their own
goal. Priddy brought home the fourth
bag to roost shortly after Bolt got away

Although it was difficult to distin-
guish the sawdust gladiators in the heat
of the contest, many amusing entangle-
ments occurred during the autumnal
matinee. One valiant sophomore warrior
at one time had no less than three
freshmen in his power through jiu jitsu
holds. This contest marked the third
affair of a similar nature ON the grid
iron in recent years. The sophomore
lineup consisted of Mann, Marsters,
Ohling, Tasker, Esteb, Stewart, Beding-
field, Kloster, Niehol, Sparks, Priddy,
and Attebery. In the freshmen ranks
were Rauch, NOtson, Olson, Bolt, Payne
Cramer, Rardin, Schiewe, Drake,
Wright, Coats and Barleigh.

WILL OPEN GOLD MINE.

Sullivan & Endner of Portland have
acquired a promising prospect for a
gold mine near the Black Eagle con

that time the doctor warned Evanoft

and man-to-man presentation of the

him an enviable place in the hearts of
his hearers and assure him a royal re-
turn at any hour or day when he shall
so see fit. DR.. Hough struck home and
got after the students s problems from
student s point of view and his brief
stay is a source of much regret to those
who were privileged to know him.
Willamette students were very much
surprised to learn on reading the last
Collegian that one of the most digni-
fled and studious men of the faculty

in the social sciences, DR.. John o. Hall

Norway to represent that country at

Tjalve, an organization formed to re-
vive the ancient Olympic games. Dr..

skiing.
That certain classes in the universe

sorrows Of Iron

CtTEEPED in the thin gauze of its

Works was smoldering under the mid.
day sun when tho distant, but unmis-
taxable hum of a motor drawing nearer
and nearer every moment fell upon the
ears of n crowd gathered around the
ruins of the west MILL Soon n blue
limousine swung up over n rise in the
Philadelphia road and came painting to-
ward the town of Crispen at a nerve.
raclSing pace, whizzing like blue streak
across n background OF leafy green,
with cloud of dust flying about 1t.
Recklessly piloted, the car rumbled
over the creek bridge, crossed the rail-
road tracks and rushed up to the
guarded entrance of the steel plant, n
huge iron gate, where excited men and
women were congregated. The creek,
which cut the works into two sections.
reflected the thick. black, smoke-palled
sky. A high brick encircling wall gave
the plant the aspect of a prison.
It was a puzzling world to Monte
Crispen as he sprang from the car. The

to choke him in the blanched faces of
anxious women, wives, sweethearts and
daughters of the dead and injured; feml.
nine faces that peered restlessly toward
the gate, out from shawls tightly held
by trembling fingers.
Occasionally the crowd parted at the
gate, and four men in overalls, carry
ing q covered stretcher, wedged their
way out. If they stopped at one of a
number of waiting ambulances, there
was a chance, and the crowd cheered.
If they passed on to an undertaken s
wagon there was chorus of groans.
ITS Jim Koerner. and he is dead"
went the buzz of voices as Monte found
himself crowded back by one of the
stretchers. The announcement heralded
the piercing. agonized cry of woman.
Monte shuddered.
