many stages of the address. In tele-

the full membership of both the house

conference committees appointed to
adjust disagreements. When these
committees bring in their reports the

of them most of the members do not
bother to vote. A half dozen ayes often
accepts the report and the roll call
goes through as matter of course.

series dealing with 1888 Pacific
coast college football teams.

MISSOULA, Mont, Sept. l6-On
the basis of preseason appearances,
Coach Bunny Oakes this year will
have relatively abundant material
to cope with the perennial problem
of raising Montana University from
its weak sister" status in the Pa
cific Coast football conference.
Oakes lost three lettermen from
the 1882 squad by graduation. Three
varsity prospects are ineligible, and
injuries threaten to keep two line
men out of suits.
That at present, is the extent
of Cakes, loss of veterans. For the
line he will have at least IA vet
Grams, five of them first string
regulars last year and the remand
er with considerable varsity ex-
perience. Leonard Kuka, 205 pound
tackle, George Sayatovish, center
Bill Hawke and Vern Oech, guards,
and Naseby Rhinehart. rangy Ne
gro end, saw plenty of action in
1882.
Backing these men will be a
number of substitutes who may
nudge the regulars from their posi-
tions. Alvy Cosper, a 224 FOUNDER,
seems in line for a tackle berth,
while Vickerman Carpenter, George
Kuka and Jackson. a sophomore,
appear to be good material for the
same position.
Cakes. follower of the Zupke
style of play, is certain to make
the strongest possible showing this
year. The Grizzlies won but one
college game last year, that against
Little Carroll College of Helena
They lost to Montana state for the
second time in 20 years. Congaza
trounced them Sc to 13. while Or
egon state, u. C. l.. A. Washington
and Idaho beat them handily in
conference games.

COkES LOSE
To bRAWLEY

Errors-fiye of them-both of
omission and commission in the
early innings of last nights game
proved too great a handicap for
the Coca Colas, city champions, to
overcome and in spite of a strong
comeback toward the end of the
game they dropped to ver-
dict to the Wilkes team of BraW-
ley. It was the last baseball game
OF the current season on the local
field.
Bob O'Brier started on the mound
for the Coca Colas and pitched
coed ball but his support was most
ragged and ne was relieved by Stew
art in the fifth. At this time the
Fawcett boys tightened up and
started in to gather in a few runs
for themselves after having spotted
the Brawley team seven counters.
The best they could do, however,
was five runs and had to be salts
fled with the short end of the count
when the game finally ended.
The hitting feature Of the game
was a home run in the eighth
inning by Paul Brown Of the Coca
Colas which brought in three runs
and gave the locals new lease
on the game which was short-lived
however.
The visitors played a good game
throughout and although outhit
by the locals their fielding was of a
better quality.
