PREVENT HOG CHOLERA

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has

dose them as directed, you will save
better than 80 per cent. II you

OREGON WINS GAME
FROM CALIFORNIA
BY SHUTOUT SCORE

Eugene, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE surprise
Of the coast football season was sprung
here this afternoon.
Facing a team far more experienced
and weighing 10 pounds more to the
man, the University Of Oregon foot
ball team defeated California Fl to 0.
Oregon played through the game
without running in a substitute. Andy
Smith, California coach, made five
changes in his team during the game in
an effort to stop Oregon scoring. The
victory is attributed largely to the
work of Hugo Bezdek, Oregon coach,
and Dot Dedley, Fred Haison and Bill
Steers, Oregon players.
California was unable to understand
the team work of the Oregon team.
Steers threw forward passes almost at
will and 20 and 30-yard runs down the
field before the heavy Californians
were common.
Oregon was unable to score in the
first quarter. but early in the second
Steers caught the ball and raced 60
yards the California team for a
touchdown.
Steers or Medley were responsible
for all the Oregon touchdowns.
The game completely upset all dope.
Football students along the coast
cheerfully predicted that the Bears
would win. and the Californians came
here certain of success.

CAMP LEWIS TEAM
DEFEATS MULTNOMAH

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Nov. ia
game featured by exciting plays from
start to finish. the 91st division foot
ball team defeated esMultnomah Ath-
letic club OF Portland on the parade
grounds today by a score of 10 to 8.
The game was the first big one that
has been staged at the post and
brought out a crowd Of about 5000,
mostly soldiers.
The score doesn't do justice to the
playing of the soldiers, as they were
on the offensive most Of the time and
gained great deal more ground than
their opponents. Tho work Of the
backs and the interference was Won
derful. The army line also held in
fine style, and with the exception Of
few minutes in the third quarter.
kept the Portland men off until the
backs had had time to get good start.
The army players were penalized
several times for being off side, and
lost more than twice as much ground
in this way than the visitors. In fact,
a 15-yard penalty practically robbed
the soldiers of touchdown in the
first quarter. when they rushed the
ball down the field to Multnomah's
10-yard line, only to lose a fine chance
by being penalized.
