Bayes to Have Aggressive

Looks for Honors
. ,Td Morton, who is billed to
meet rhir Hayes in a six-round
bout at the armory Friday nipht
of this week, has a string of vic
tories to hl3 credit In the state of
Washington. Ills home is at Kel
so and he has appeared a number
of times at Centralia and Chehalis
where he has a reputation much
like that of Bayes in the Willam
ette valley. Bayes Is working but
each day at the armory between
4 and 5 o'clock. Ilorton. Uko
Bayos, is an aggressive fighter.
; Salem fans have become .en
amored of Bill Poole, the Monroe
logger, who is to meet "Lelty"
Dewey "; California boy who has
come to Oregon looking for battle
but who has not yet had a fight
in this state. Matchmaker Paul
Burris believes these two boys are
well matched and that they will
give a good entertainment. Poole's
wallop has put a couple of boys
out in Salem this winter.,
The preliminary between Jimmy
Fargo of Salem and Frankie Lee,
the Chinese fighter from Port
land, will be a drawing card, im
asmuch as a Chinese boy has never
before appeared at the Salem
arena.
To give the fans a maximum of
action Burris thought it wise to
put on three six-round bouts in
stead of the usual two six-round
and one 10-round go. This plan
worked successfully once this win
ter and is expected to do so again.

Return Game With Eugene
To Be Played By Salem
Salem high ; school basketball
team, undefeated this year, will
leave this, afternoon for "Eugene
where they will play a return
game with that team. The first
contest was won by a one-point
margin, the final bcoto being 13
to 12,
The local team has a record of
18 games this season with no de
feats. They have scored a total
of 439 points against 229 scored
upon them. No team has been dis
criminated against and every team
that. has sought a contest has been
accommodated. Three of the
games were won by the one-point
margin. The most decisive victory
was the one with Silverton, which
was annexed by a score of 35 to
2. The lowest score was made in
the return game with Independence
when the score stood 6 to 3.
With the exception of Patterson,
who played guard last year and
who is captain of this season's ag
gregation, and Fallin, a substi
tute forward last year, the team
members are playing their first
year of interscholastic contests.
Though the season looked dark at
the opening of the school year,
Ilollis Huntington, coach and for
mer University of Oregon football
star, has turned out a quintet that
will make other high schools hus
tle in the state basketball tourna
ment. Other players on the team are
Drager and Devers, center, with
the former starring and in all of
the 18 games; Ellis and Hcenan,
alternating at forward; and Ash
by, the smallest man on the team,
holding down a steady place at
guard.

Fasnacht Not Expected 'io
Be in Willamette Line-'
up for Battle
Facing the possible loss of Fas
nacht from the starting lineup.
Willamette is awaiting the whistle
to turn loose on the invading Pa
cific quintet prepared to offer a
stiff battle but a little less confi
dent of the big end of the final
score. "Fosy," the powerful, Bear
cat forward, is suffering from an
infection which has failed to yield
to treatment and he will probably
be used only if absolutely neces
sary tonight. ,
The mix tonight promises to be
one of the hardest fought on the
local floor this season. Willam
ette has been steadily increasing
in their ability to chalk up the
counters and after losing to the
University of Idaho by only a
three point margin the dope favors
them against a team whose record
thus far this season has not been
particularly brilliant.
Determined to keep the pace
that they have set in the last two
games, the Willamette five will
make a tremendous effort to over
come the disadvantage of Fas
nacht 's absence from the game.
The lineup is problematical and
will depend upon the possibility of
the Injured forward being able to
enter. Robertson, Pat ton, Logan
and Erkkson will all go on the
floor but possibly at different po
sitions than ordinarily. Hartley,
Emmcl and Wilkinson will be the
likely substitutes.
'Through an error the Sunday
Statesman recorded the first game
with Pacific this 6eason as a 33 to
19 victory for Pacific. The tally
should have been reversed and the
score favored the Bearcats.

basketball conference heretonight,
defeating the University 6f Ore
gon quintet by a 29 to 22 score.
This was the last game of the sea
son for the Purple and Gold team
which counted in both the Pacific
coast and northwest conference
standings. Washington and Ore
gon will meet here again tomor
row but the result will have no
bearing on the conference hon
ors: Hesketh the speedy Purple and
Gold forward was the stellar per
former of the evening scoring
seven field goals. Captain La

posit on of center tonight, nearly
equalled Hesketh's record by

six times.

Triangular . Meet Scheduled
Among Willamette, OAC,
and Pacific
The freshman varsity debaters
of Willamette university open
their season here tonight when
they participate in an interschol
astic triangular meet with Oregon
Agricultural college and Pacific
university as their opponents. The
Willamette affirmative will meet
the OAC negative orators in the
university chapel here at 8
o'clock, and at the same time the
local negative team will meet the
Pacific affirmative in Forest
Grove.
Both debates will be on the
question. 'Renolved: - That the
United States supreme court
should have the power to declare
federal, legislation unconstitution
al only when the justices concur
in a unanimous decision."
The Willamette affirmative
team that debates here is compos
ed of James McClintock of Rose
burg, leader, and Wayne Crow of
Lostine. Or. The team that travels
to Forest Grove to meet Pacific is
led by Lee Crawford of Salem,
with Harley Allen of Lostine as
his collcgue.
A lively contest is in prospect
here. The Aggie debaters are
eager for revenge for their recent
defeat at the hands of the Willam
ette varsity women debaters. The
question is a much mooted one and
the proposal affirmed in the ques
tion is now being actively advo
cated by American labor.
The local debaters have spent
more ' than a month on the ques
tion and a comprehensive analysis
of the question i3 promised. Both
speakers on the team debating
here have had considerable pre
vious training a3 high school de
baters. The debate will be held
in the university chapel in Waller
hall on the campus. At the same
time as the local debate, the OAC
affirmative meets the Pacific neg
ative in Corvalllsy

Bears Continue to Attack
Prices on Basis of Inquiry
at Capital
NEW YORK, Feb. 25 Re
sumption of the Washington oil
investigation provided profession
al bear traders with another ex
cuse for an attack on today's
stock market, operators on the
long side showing little disposition
to extend their commitments,, ap
parently through fear of further
unfavorable disclosures at the oil
inquiry. Sales were again rela
tive small. (
Heavy selljng of the copper
shares in further reflection of the
passing of the Calumet and Hecla
dividend was one of the day's fea-
rtures. Anaconda was the princi
pal target-of selling pressure due
to, the fear jn some quarters that
the British regular dividend, to be
acted on tomorrow was in danger.
The stock closed two points lower
at 376, after selling slightly be
low that figure.
Baldwin, Studebaker and Am
erican Can all registered net losses
of a point or more, total transac
tions in each stock, however, be
ing relatively light.
Steel shares offered fairly good
resistance to selling pressure.
Trading in the railroad shares
was rather sluggish
Shippings improved on the set
tlement of the Britbh dock work
ers' strike.
Extensive short ' selling again
took place in the oil shares but
most of the active issues made
recovery from their low prices.
Call money opened at 4 per cent
but advanced to 4 in the late af
ternoon closing at tht figure. The
time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged, the bulk of
the business in each being tran-
f sacted at 4 4 per cent.
Demand sterling was up to $4-31
and Franch francs to 4.46c
but considerable profit taking took
place when the high levels were
reached, sterling falling back to
$4.30. off lc. and francs to 4.3C

CHICAGO, Feb. 25. Com was

wh?at exactly the reverse. - Re
ce'pt of corn were smaller than
had been expected and it was said
the country had stopped selling
Corn closed firm, at 1-8 fi be to
5-8c net advance. May 80 c to
80 i7-8c- In. wheat the finish was
unsettled Vic to 0-8c to c'down,
the outcome for oats was a shade
to V4c decline and for provisions
2c to 15c gain. i
Important commission houses
were aggressive buyers of corn at
the start and there was gossip
current that stocks oT corn in the
east were extremely light. In this
connection the fact was especial
ly noted tht export call was good
and that the supply of corn on
octan passage was much under the
amount a year ago. Buying was
further encouraged through pre
dictions that only a-diminishing
movement of corn would be wit
nessed during the remainder of
the season.
Meanwhile an increase of 2,
285.000 bushels in the visible sup
ply total announced., today was
about wha had been looked for
and had but little effect on the
profit taking sales en
larged after a moderate bulge in
prices and for at least the time be
ing this circumstance frustrated
any additional gain.
Wheat bulls were discouraged
by absence of crop scare devctop
ments. Besides a decreasa of
335,000 bushels in the domestic
visible total was regarded ,as too
slight to serve as a stimulus to
buyers confronted with dispatches
saying that the greatest quantity
of wheat ever concentrated at one
point in the world's history was at
present in store and afloat t
Port Arthur, Out. Oats sagged
with wheat.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
strength to provisions.
There Is littld consolation in
poverty except tiro privilege of

; TUESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 26, 1924:
Sign Up Acreage
Pickles and Cabbage
The California Packing" com
pany, which has decided to enter
the field here and has leased
ground for a pickling plant to be
erected for this coming season's
output of cucumbers, is, preparing
plans for such an establishment
as soon as the farmers contract
the requisite 200 acres.' It is im
portant, not only for the farmers
and community that this acreage
be signed up at, once. Those who
have not done so will find con
tracts awaiting them at the Bank
ofHodburn, the company's rep
resentative here. As $10 more a
ton will be paid this year than
last year, it will prove quite an in
centive for farmers to get busy
and make up the quota. There is
a good profit to farmers entering
into this industry, by setting aside
a few acres each, for the cultiva
tion of cucumbers and it will pay
them better than many other lines
they might take upv
There has been complaint here
tofore that Woodburn would not
handle all farmers' products. This
is one product that there is a
guarantee of it being taken and
there is a good profit in it for the
grower. Sign up on these con
tracts before the 200 acres request
ed are taken. Don't come in on
the tail end and probably find
that all! have been-contracted for
that the plant will need.
It is also the intention of the
packing company to handle 500
tons of cabbages in this section for
the purpose of making sauer
kraut. It would be advisable to
ftlgo contract to furnish these as
well as cucumbers. Cabbages will
run from 10 to 25 tons to the
acre and the company will agree
to pay $9.50 per ton f. o. b. These
cabbages should be grown on bot
tom land. It would be advisable
to also lose no time in calling at
the Bank of Woodburn and sign
ing up contracts.
Here we have an industry that
will take two products and prob
ably more off the hands of the
farmers, who should be displaying
enthusiasm over such a, future
and eagerly joining those who have
already contracted. . cmfw
