Canadeo, who 'i is known on and off the little Inland Empire university's campus as the Spokane Spook, bombarded the Webfoots with bullet passes all afternoon--two of them connecting for touchdowns which gave Gonzaga a stunning 12-7 win. The comapartively small home crowd of some 5,500 spectators sat dumbfounded as they watched the Webfoots, the same gridders that tied Southern California and beat Stanford and California on Saturdays, fail to consecutive. fire and drive that has carried them to the top of the Pacific coast conference, standings.

It is good medicine for an actor to work in new groups and under new directors. In Day's Work If sound stages do vary at all. there is the enormous structure among many on the vast MGM lot to consider. Everything about this organization is grandiose, so much. SO that to produce THE WOMEN with Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and 133 other women was apparently only just another day.

Sprague to 65 officers from the state of Oregon as the finale of a week's session of the federal bureau of investigation school. The awards were made at a banquet, at which Governor Sprague warmly commended the men on the increasing cooperation evident among all branches of police. A special plea to aid in decreasing juvenile delinquency, and in rescuing the young first offenders was made by Governor Sprague during his address.

"The future of this country rests on its young men and women, and you as police officers, can through your work be of invaluable service in conserving this most valuable asset for the future." Individual Vital Although he acknowledged the value of science in solving crime, the governor declared that individual intellect was still the most potent factor. He commended the police school idea, and urged that the officers present hold sessions their own communities upon their return. Others who spoke at the banquet included Chief John K. Acton, Astoria, president of the city police association; Captain Dana E. Jewell, Portland; G.

Cox manager of the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association. Mr. Cox. makes the following statement: "It is interesting to note that three months in 1937 showed average prices above $23.00 per 1000 board feet; and that the average price for the entire year of 1937 was $22.19.

"It is also interesting to compare the average price received for West Coast lumber with its cost of production. For the last three 1938 and 1939, the production cost of the average feet of West Coast lumber 1000 ranged between $20.50 and $21.75 per 1000 board feet.

The bridge was opened at noon Saturday. The repairs necessitated closing the span each day except Sunday from 8 a.

The railing and other work is yet to be finished. Temporary Bridges On Route Completed The crew that has been at work on temporary, bridges on the Knowles end of Route highway has been moved out and now the two miles or more of grade that has been completed will be graveled, it is announced at the office of P.

Flanagan of Meadowview were on bales of hay in the counshowing sheep, and looked boys and girls. They resolved then, and there to see what could done. They worked at odd jobs around the farm held sheep for, their father to shear, and when they were enough for club work, had amply earned the two grade lambs that their gave them. When father, lambs were old enough, the boys showed them at the Salem bred fair, lamb and given Gerald as won a pure prize for showing his animal, keeping its pen clean, and keeping an accurate record book. Vernon won his pure bred lamb the next year.

Climb Recounted In the meantime, the boys continued to work for their father, and in time, their earnings amounted to one grade heifer calf apiece. Vernon raised his calf and sold it for $40, with which he bought a newly born pure bred calf. Gerald's calf sold for $50, and he added some of his wool money, to pay $65 for two pure bred calves. He also sold lambs until he could pay $50 for a Guernsey heifer. Their pride in their animals paid dividends when two of Gerald's heifers were stolen.

An animal sold at auction in Salem was traced to its new owner, and the snapshot Gerald had taken of it a short time before identified it beyond all doubt as one of the stolen cows. Gerald took the loss of the other heifer philosophically as did Vernon when dogs killed two of his best lambs. Lately, the boys have been experimentting with pigs.

GETTING LAST LOOK SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. -A tremendous crowd thonged the San Francisco world's fair Saturday, anxious to get a last look at the "Pageant of the Pacific" before it closes October 29. By MARIAN LOWRY A sizeable crowd of state celebrities was gathered in the president's box see what Oregon could do--pardon what they couldn't do.

Among the visitors were Governor Charles A. Sprague; Walter Pearson, state treasurer; Mrs. James Mott, wife of Congressman Mott (their daughter, Frances, is freshman at the university this year); Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public instruction; Willard Marks, Albany, chairman of the state board of higher education; Charles Childs, Albany, joint senator from Lane and Linn counties in the legislature; Earl Hill, Cushman, Lane representative in the legislature; Burt Brown Barker, Portland, university vice-president; and among Eugene dignitaries, Mayor Elisha Large. Eugene had its second glimpse of Oregon's first drum majoress, Mary Anderson, at the Saturday game. She kept the band members on their toes to keep up with her fancy stepping, and in her costume of bright yellow satin, lined with green, made a dazzling picture in the sunshine.

"Well, well, from now on we shall give more attention when the band comes on the field," commented one of the older alums looking on at Saturday's proceedings. Highlight entertainment for the afternoon--outside of Gonzaga continually outplaying the Oregon boys- -came from an unidentified Gonzaga player who spent most of the time on the bench. "Come on, now, you Rose Bowl going Oregons, show us what you can do. Oh, you Rose Bowl players, do your stuff," he chanted again and again through the third and fourth quarters, cupping his hands over his mouth to throw his voice out to the players. Two Eugene grade school youths kept their section smiling.

When the older one, about 12, kept moaning over Oregon's showing, the younger, about nine, replied: "Well, you see the place probably is lousy with scouts." During the half, the younger boy expressed the wish that the "rah rah" boys would come over to the west grandstands. "The rah rah stuff is for the student side," his companion replied. When the band and students played and sang the Oregon pledge song, several listeners pressed the hope this number might be worked up for a traditional ceremony at Oregon games, TROTSKY WATCHED COYOACAN, Mexico, Oct. 21- (U.P.)-The guard around the home of Leon Trotsky here was increased tonight after police arrested a man who attempted to gain admittance by pretending he was an agent for Gen.
