Special Dispatch to The Star.
STAUNTON, Va, November 30
When his hand was mistaken by fell
low hunters for the head of turkey.
Charles Berry of Lexington, Va, re-
ceived a peppering of bird shot in
his neck and back.
Berry raised his hand to grasp a
projection and pull himself up a
Steep mountainside in Goshen Pass.
Another hunter, seeing the hand
rise above the thick brush, mistook
it for the head of a turkey and fired
both barrels of his gun.
Most of the shot was removed

Two Good Shows
At Fox Imperial

A combination of unusual merit
is offered moving picture patrons
at Fox Imperial theatre tonight
when the Notre Dame-U.S.C. foot
ball game in its entirety will be
shown together with "A Dan
gerouS Affair
This marks the first time an
entire big game has been shown
in sound pictures and those who
saw it last night declare the re
production of the greatest football
battle of the season is truly re
markable and effectively screened.
"A Dangerous Affair." starring
Ralph Graves, Jack Holt and Sally
Blame, is a panic of laughs and
thrills, as it portrays the efforts
of police and newspapers to cope
with the criminal element of q
small town near to a metropolis.
There is mystery and romance
as we'll as comedy and thrills, the
dialogue being particularly funny
and the situations in which the
various members of the cast find
themselves at times bordering or
the ridiculous.

Idea Right But
Results Wrong

While ingenuity often is a virtue
there are times when it is q down
right calamity in the opinion of
Fire Chief Tom Reams today.
A Mexican resident at 22i
Brighton street arose this morn
ing to find the landscape white
with frost and his room without i
stove. Not to be daunted. he built
fire in a large lard can and
dressed in comfort. Not satisfied
with the fire menace he had crn-
ated, he departed for work, leaving
the burning can sitting on the
floor.
NeighborS saw smoke pouring
from the windows at $50 o'clock
and called the fire department. A
hole the size of the lard can was
burned through the floor as mon
ument, no doubt to an inventive
genius. The damage was slight.

Demurrer Filed In
Calipatria Case

That the answer Of the city Of
Calipatria to the amended COM
plant of Mrs. Alma N. Myers does
not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute a defense against her suit is
the contention of a demurrer filed
in superior court today.
Mrs. Myers, suing on claim as
signed to her by her husband, P. N.
Myers, is seeking by her suit to re-
cover money alleged due him for
special legal work in a suit by the
city against the Imperial Irriga-
ton district.
The demurrer filed today also
contended the answer does not
state how Myers became indebted
to the city of Calipatria for the
sum of $500. advanced him during
the litigation with the district.
Neither does the answer state how
Myers received the salary said in
the answer to have been pGid him,
according to the demurrer.

PACIFIC COAST
ELEVENS PROVE
TO Be SUPERIOR
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. IA. U.P) -
If there was any doubt that the
Pacific coast was playing higher
grade of football than other Sec
tionS of the country this year it
was dispelled Saturday when South
ern California swamped Georgia
here, 60 to 0.
The Trojan victory increased to
Is the triumphS of coast teams III
the Is intersectional clashes To
date. Only twice have far west
teams been beaten and one game
ended in a tie. Two contests re-
main to be played.
In five meetings with southe.h
teams, the Pacific coast has won
four and lost one. The far west
has beaten Rocky mountain ag-
gregationS five times and eastern
teams twice without a loss or tie.
The coast has trimmed midwest
elevenS four times, lost to one and
tied one.
1t might be said that many of
the coast victories were over minor
opponents, but there is no doubt
that such teams as New York uni
versity, Dartmouth. Southern Meth
odists, Georgia, Notre Dame, Min
nesota and Utah were representa-
tive teams in their sections.
More decisive was the Southern
California victory over Georgia,
rated as one of the strong southern
teams. Coach Harry Mehre of
Georgia said the Trojan team was
as powerful and versatile as any
he ever had seen. The Southern
California backs had no trouble in
scoring the nine touchdoWns
against the Bulldogs.
The coast still would have an ad-
vantage even though it lost the two
remaining intersectional games.
which seems unlikely.
The first of these games will take
California against Georgia Tech
and the second will bring Tulane
west to meet Southern California.
The western teams are favored
to win both contests.
