COUNTRY CLUB
 DINNER DANCE

The spring activities of the Black Rock Country Club started with an April Fool dinner dance at the club last night The guests received many surprises which emphasized very thor oILs:h1y the fact that yesterday was the first day of April. One of the first surprises when the yarrived was that the chairs had been removed and the dinner was served a. la buffet, each one acting as his own waiter. Then hte fun began. The guest would take a, Hot Cross Bun which looked very edible and then find it filled with cottonL Next would appear some very fine looking chicken outlets, breaded, red hot and aTpetizing enough for the
 FunghTest person, when To and behold it turned into a caTnouf1aged piece of pine wood. Then came the dessert ice cream in various forms. You would select one that looked specially attractive and you might find a, piece of wood in the center or an appetiz- ing onion. No one took offense and it was one continuous time of good wholesome, old fashioned fun from
 start to finish.
 Incidentally the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, l.. R. BlacG1nan; vice pres ident, W. R. Phillips: seer etary and treasurer, E. T. Buckingham; mem

HARVARD BEATS
OREGON BY POINT
At PASADENA A
By Associated Press

TOURNAMENT PARK, PASADENA
Jan. 2-Harvards football team, coming
out of the East to defend their athletic
supremacy against Oregon of the West,
held their laurels by a narrow margin,
winning the annual game featured by
the Tournament of Roses, here with a
final score of to 6. The Harvard points
were gained a touchdown by Church
and a clean goal from touchdown by A.
Horween, while Oregon's points came
from goals from the field by Steers and
Manerud.
From a standpoint of clean sport,
sustained in interest and thrilling mo-
ments, the game topped those Of prev
ious years, being replete with interest.
The play of the opponents was so even
ly matched that not until the last
minutes of the final period was the re-
suit at all certain and Oregon kept
fighting to the instant that the whistle
blew. Had the men not done so they
would have lost by far more one-sided
score, as the ball, in Harvard's posses
sion, was within few inches of their
hard-defended goal until the last instant
of play, when the westerners regained it
on downs, with less than a foot of the
field remaining between them and dis
