OX THE AUCTION BLWK
It will not ilo to regard Bulgar
ian representations too seriously.
Our .Minister at Stockholm lias
doubtless had some interesting con
versations with, his Bulgarian col
league, aad it is probably true that
Bulgarian diplomats elsewhere have
dropped hints that their august
aovareigu, Ferdinand, would be
«la<l to get out of his co-partner
ship with the Kaiser. But an this
U to be taken yith a large grain
ff salt. The truth probably is
that Bulgaria is once more upon
auction block. Her ruler loug
•luce acquired the rpeutation of be
iu£ the most astute international
jr»der Ik Europe; and, up to the
tijBti of the first Balkan War, iu
1912, hi had managed to secure
l*rge benefits, iu territory and
»ower, without ever firing a shot,
iu the olden days lie used to play
off the Turk against the Powers of
the Concert—and always to his ad
vantage. In like manner he play
»4 the Entente oft against the
Teutonic Alliance iu those shame
ful days when each was seeking to
set him into the war on its side.
At leastt> the Kaiser outbid his
rirale and Ferdinand came down ou
the Hun's side of the fence. Now,
finding the .situation irksome, he
la ready to trade once more. If
the Entente appeals generous, he
will use thai fact to screw up a
larger concession from the Kaiser.
It is a sordid business, in which
so well informed person will be
deceived. _

Swimming was suspended for that

Then the boxing ring, on a raised

ware placed around it. The ring

of the game neither team held anjj

Again Hay 0 to 0.
Tacoma.—Playing its first game,
the Ninety-first division foot
ball team. Camp Lewis ail-stars,
battled the medical corps, composed
largely of former Oregon "U" stars,
to a 0 to 0 tie in. the Tacoma sta
dium. The game was devoid of
tarills, although cleanly played and
hard fought. The Medics held an
edge in the first half, but were un
able to get within striking distance
of their rivals' goal.
The All-Stars developed a
stronger offensive in the second
half and nearly scored. Consist
ently hitting the line, they brought
the ball to the Medics' seven-yar^
line in the final quarter, but here
the Oregon boys tightened and the
ball went to them on the five-yard
line. Montieth punted out of the
danger line and the game ended
with the ball in the middle of the
field.

! California Defeats O. A. C. 14 to S
Berkeley, Cai.,—The mass at
tack of tlie California eleven last
week brought the Bears a 14-3 vic
tors over the Oregon, Agricultural
college. Oregon withstood the
Bear attack for two periods, in the
first ofw hich they gained a lead of
three points when Lodell dropped
the ball over the cross-bars from»
the twenty-yard line after six min
utes of play. Twice during this
half the Bears were within Ore
gon's five-yard line, but the Aggie
line held each time.
At the opening of the third per
iod the Bear attack approached Ir
resistibility and Orgeon was Blow
ly swept backward. Wells blocked
Lodeirs punt on the Aggie five
yard line and Brown recovered. Af
ter two unsuccessful line attacks
Wells slipped through the Orgeon
line for the first touchdown.
California's second touchdown in
the fourth period came after Bis
?ett had been disqualified for un
necessary roughness. The ball,
which had been on the Oregon
thirty-yard line, was given to Cali
fornia on the fifteen-yard line. Row^
made thirteen, off end and Wells
went two yards off tackle for the
second touchdown. Lane kicked
both goals.
