SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1023 Mere, There amid Everywhere Li -.(. THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON 4 :-: mm Report on t Proposed Inter ; state Bridge is Made by . Engineer Nunn A lengthy report covering the state highway commission's lnves- tfgatlon'Into the feasibility of a proposed - Interstate bridge be tween Oregon and. Washington 'oyer the LQwer'Columbla river as , near the. Pacific Ocean as possible j has been : prepared by Herbert Nunn, state . highway - engineer, and was presented to the gov ernor yesterday. The Investigation and survey were made In compliance with; an act of the legislature of 1921, au- thorlzng an investigation and estl- mate of Cost of a toot and vehtc jf alar bridge, and also of a , com- bjned foot, vehicular and railroad - bridge. The act provided that the V report be submitted during the .1923 session of the legislature.' f Two Site Mentioned V !' The report covers location, feasible construction types, prog ress report ( jn cooperative work y with the state of Washington, es timates of cost, ' and , estimated . probable income from tolls. tTwo possible sites are mention ! ed. One would '.; span the - river from Three Tree point on the Washington shore to Cathlamet point on the Oregon aide, repre senting the most westerly f easi- hie crossing of the river. It is said that this site would be the most 1 convenient relative to the pro " posed through coast highway sys tem. 1 " r. -,m.v ... Two Places Compared Site No. 2 proposes a crossing (of the ; river in the vicinity, of Bainier and the bridge would be much shorter; than at the first Bile. It Is said No. 2 would be more favorable to navigation in terests. , f Summing up relative to the two sites the report says: "From a physical standpoint site No. 2 (at Rainier) presents much easier construction prob lems at a somewhat reduced-cost of construction, and will probably be : looked upon with more favor by the federal. authorities than would site No. 1. It also has dts- ffj tlnct advantages' to Or pi axe not possessed by 1 1 . in . . Oregon which site No. 1. and will probably serve, the Inter ests of southern Washington as well.? ; - ' ; , : Though a .similar? Investigation let was. Introduced In the state of Washington In 1921 it did not pass and Washington highway of ficials had no authority to coop erate In the Inquiry." The attitude of that etat Jsnot known.. i Costa Estimated J Af the first site the first cost of a cantilever type of bridge is estimated at 12,032.690. opera tion $12,000 and maintenance 111,000.

Signify- Inten tions to Have Races Under i Association's .Rules .That speedway racing' during 1923 will continue under the conT trel of the American Automobile Association Contest board is indi cated by the fact' that officials oft practically every large speed iray la the .United! States have signified their intentions of con ducting their races under AAA sanction,: as usual. . Officials of the Indianapolis Speedway have already had an . official sanction assigned for the big race on May 30 and have issued their entry blanks bearing the AAA contest board's sanction .number. I. i Efforts to create the Imnres alon , .that "a new organization would take control of speedway racing in the United States have hastened the action of the of ficials, of the l -various racing plants In assuring the AAA con test board of their desire to con tinue racing . under the sanction of that body. Requests for sanc tion have been :,recelved even earlier this year than usual and in' almost every Instance assur ance haa been given that the speedway officials are highly sat isfied with AAA supervision of PEED racing and have no desire to change. j I- William Scbimpf, chairman of the contest board, is now en route to the Pacific coact and will con-' suit with about j35 representa tives of the contest board In var ious ftates along the route. ; Mr. Schimpt will spend some time on the coast and will give personal attention to contest board, mat ters in the west. ) lost of the talk concerning the probability of a j new organiza tion to govern racing has been brought, about through the ef forts of a former 'member of the contest board who is now aligned with another ' organlaztion and wJlo has made several attempts to organize such a body, accord ing to statements I by AAA offic ials.1 It is pointed out that the gentleman in question, while mak ing strong overtures to the speed, ways for their support in the for mation of a new race governing body of which it Is understood he was to be the chairman, failed to present any particular defects In the AAA contest board and also failed to show any practical reas ons for the existence of the new organization or any advantages to be 'derived under it that could not be enjoyed under the AAA board. .-';! i ' oiis CUP Elffl CLOSES lil MARCH Germany, Austria, Bulgaria ;? and Turkey Still Classed on Ineligible List NEW YORK, Jan. 20.

One of the contenders comes from the Oregon School for the Deaf, here In Salem; the other contender Is the Washington state school at Vancouver. The Wash ington bunch is known to be strong; nobody, college or ath letic club of any, kind of an or ganization, wants to go into a game with these boys, unprepared and thinking they're i "easy". They are hard as nails, and fast, and they -play. a team game that is said to be a revelation to most common players. " The Salem team, however. Is of the same calibre. All the players were Jsere last year; they play a game like clockwork, and - they are at It steadily enough to keep in perfect condition, i They re cently beat th Yellow Jackets, ami earlier in the season beat the Better-Yet-Bread team of the YMCA league, the champions of the league tournament series. It !s said that their hearing handi cap is almost an asset, in that, they use eyes and a sixth sense of intuition to perfect their game in a. way that tew other players ever GO V ' V;",, :" This meet will be a real cham pionship, in classification as well as in actual playing ability.
