Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Nov. 5--Tonight in the
sunny south-New Orleans-the fin
ishing touch on the most successful
comeback the pugilistie game has seen
will be achieved or lost by frankie
! Burns.
Veteran bantam though he is, Burns
is going better than at any time in his
career. He win get his third chance
at the world s bantam weight title
when he meets Pete Herman of New
Orleans in battle scheduled to go
over the 20 round route.
Burns has been fighting the good
ones and the bad ones in the tiny di-
vision for nine years. He is 2S years
old, an age at which most fighters have
had their ears well cauliflowered and
are willing to live happily ever after
on the fruits of their efforts. But not
so with Burns.
Back on November 10, 1915, Burns
met the present topmost scrapper in
the bantam division and laid him out
in the twelfth round Of what started
out to be 20 round brawl Shortly
thereafter he met Kid Williams, then
leader of the division, and fought a
draw in 20 rounds.

Oregon agricultural College, Corval,,
Ii. Or. Nov. 5.-On a slippery bield
here Saturday the Oregon Agricultural
College football team defeated the
Multnomah Athletic club eleven by a
score OF 60. Owing to heavy rain all
night and part of the morning the ball
was hard to hold, and fumbles were
many. Both teams showed pep and
put up a good game. All of the Aggie
backfield starred and Perry, Hubbard
and Bissett in the line. Day, Duffy and
Murphy starred for the visitors.
In the second quarter .Bissett, who
had been showing lots of fight, had to
be carried from the field, suffering
from bruised hip and fractured rib.
He was replaced by Cole, Perry going
in as left guard. Both teams worked
under difficulties, as Coach Pipal of
the Aggies, was out of town and Mur-
ply was acting captain for Multnomah.

the cost. Speaking of the land under
the Tumalo project that is supplied
with water Mr.. Newell says potatoes
yielded so sacks to the acre, which al
present prices would pay the entire
charge for water for the land. He point
ed out that a survey will be needed be

be made so the state can save the mon

An appeal to patriotic Americans inviting
and urging them to forward their assurance Of
support to the President in his task Of effective
ly upholdirg American rig hts and our national
honor which was launched in the city of New
York recently, has already received the endorse
ment Of our most prominent patriots and states
men. The cooperation Of such men as former
President VIM II. Taft, Alton B. Parker,
Fabian Franklin and others Of equal prominence
show to what degree political barriers are let
down and of what close ties Americans are ca
pable when their country is threatened.
The appeal concluded
Our ships and our flag are being excluded
from the seas by the threat Of death and de-
struchon conveyed in Germanys declaration Of
war on neutral shipping The need Of the hour
is to take efectual measures to safeguard our
shipping and our citizens rather than to wait for
Americans to be murdered and then go to war
to punish the offender. To refuse, or too long
delay such protection would be to acquiesce in
the sublugation Of American rights to German
domination. The time has come to assure the
President that he will have the Overwhelming
support Of his fellow countymen in taking eff
fectiye measures to meet the intolerabe situation
with which the country IS now confronted
