its president William K. Laporte,
University of Southern California,
for permission to play the Univers

count Montana's games in the

Following a request by Oregon
Agricultural college for a decision.
President Laporte ruled Montana
ineligible on two counts, because
the team had entered the confer

was taken with the result that
Montana today was ruled eligible.

Six Arrested for Playing
Rummy in Hotel Room
are Turned Loose
Dismal failure followed the
first arrests under the much-discussed
anti-gambiing ordinance
recently passed by the' city council
when three young women and
three young men were found 'noti
guilty" in the police court late
Saturday after hours had been
spent in trying the case.
The six people were arrested
Friday night in a local hotel by
Officers Olson and Wright. The
officers entered the room and did
not make their authority known,
according to the testimony. They
admitted having no difficulty in
entering the room.
As the door was locked. City
Attorney Ray L. Smith, assisted
by Chris Kowitz, assistant city at
torney attempted to prove that
the complaint covered the situa
tion. The complaint charged that
"cards were exposed in a room
occupied by two or more persons
and that they were playing behind
a barricaded door, making it dif
ficult for a police officer to enter.
Both the officers and the defend
ants testified that when the night
clerk of the hotel knocked on the
door, without even telling who it
was, the door was opened imme
diately by (one of the young men.
"Rummy" was the game that
caused the rumpus.
The six were taken to the police
station and Marten Poulsen. police
Judge, called at 1 o'clock to fix
balh This was set at $25 each
for the men and $10 each for the
women. They were cited to ap
pear at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. After several delays the case
finally got under way about 3
o'clock and lasted until after 6
o'clock.
The defendants claimed to be
ignorant of violation of any ordi
nance; they testified that they
were with a crew of magazine so
licitors visiting the Salem district.
It was. customary each night for
them to report to the manager of
the crew or his wife, who had
charge of the women members
After the prizefights Friday they
went back to the hotel and when
the men came to the room in
which the women were at the
time, they were invited to a game
of ' rummy." This, they testified,
was customaiy. as they were on
the road all the time, and could
see no harm In an innocent game
I cards. Attorney Bassett point
ed ,Qut that a locked door, that
was, opened upon demand, could
hardly be considered a barricade
and that in addition the officers
had no search warrants. The of
ficers, it was said, were sent to
the hotel after three complaints
had been made to headquarters
that there was a little too much
noise in the room. The hotel
clerk was not notified" and knew
hotU.'ng of the occurrence until
the officers arrived. These testi
fied that they found no unusual
disturbance and while they were
unable to make out the conversa
tion while standing outside t he
door, they could hear the players
laugh.
The players, at the police sta
tion gave the names of Mrs.
Irene French, Mrs. Ida Shepard
and Mrs. II. E. Yambert, wife of
the manager of the crew; M.
Chenowith, W. M. Clifton, and S.
Crittenden. They took the arrest
in good humor in spite of the fact
it called for a special trip from
Portland by Mr. Yambert and
knocked them out of a night's
sleep and a day's work.

Conibear Stroke Originated
By Man Who Never
Pulled, an Oar
SEATTLE. Wash.. Mar. 1.
Fromracing with bicycles, and
not with boats, came a rowing
principle that Is to permeate the
practice of the crews that uphold
next summer the fame of Yale
and Harvard and the Universities
of Washington and California.
The crews of these four insti
tutions will be partly or entirely
trained by graduates of a system
of rowing invented by Hiram
Conibear, who died iLx years ago.
Conibear never pulled an oar.
He was a bicycle racer, and from
that got to be an athletic trainer.
He became associated with the
University ot Washington as track
coach. An idea kept running in
his head, gained lrom his bicycle
experience, that the leg was a
more powerful engine than the
arm. When in an emergency a
crew coach was needed at Wash
ington, he volunteered. Ultimate
success was the result.
Followers or Washington crews
believe that the "Conibear
stroke" will replace the English
stroke in this country, by employ
ing the power of the leg in a slow
movement. Conibear forever
doomed the labored use of the
arms, which was the vogue when
he entered aquatics.
In Conibeur's regime at Wash
ington he won most of his races.
In 1913 he took the Washington
crew to the national intercollegi
ate regatta at Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
and placed third, being nosed out
by Syracuse and Cornell universi
ties. After the world war Ld I-eader,
a veteran of the 1D13 and 1916
Washington eights, took the helm
which death had wrenched from
the band of Conibear. Under
Leader. Washington continued to
advance. After defeating Cali
fornia and Wisconsin in the spring
of 1922, the Washigton boat was
beaten only by a great eight of
the United States naval academy
in the Poughkeepsie race. Then
Yale took Leader for its head
coach and with him as assistant
Captain Mike Murphy, stroke in
the 1921 and 1922 Washington
shells.

Forbes declared he had "great
sympathy," however, for J. W.

"Knowing the utter falsity of

convinced that his testimony re
lating to transactions between him
and Thompson, of which I have no
personal knowledge are equally
false."
Alluding to his administration
of hospital construction, Forbes
declared:
"If I were crooked, or dishon

the law gave me the right to
choose the ground Would I
have turned over the construction

gave entire jurisdiction, control

He added he believed both the
army and navy had -the "finest en
gineering organization in the Unit

In this connection, however, he
asserted, he proposed to name "at
the proper time every individual
who has been to see me and the
