WHITMAN BASKETBALL TEAM MEETS BEARCAT QUINT' TONIGHT
THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON
HEAL CLASS IS
OFFERED FANS
Both on Equal According to
Advance Dope and Com
parative Scores
Salem fans will be treated to
some real basketball tonight in
the Willamette university gymnas
ium when the players from Whit
man college clash with the" Bear
cats in a northwest conference
game. Advance dope and com
parative scores indicate that the
two teams are quite evenly match
ed, and a close, fast contest is to
be expected. -
Whitman seems to hare a little
the best of ihe comparison since
Oregon last night only defeated
.them 44 to 22, whereas the lemon
yellow players took the measure
of Willamette by a score of 51 to
17. On the other hand, the Mis
sionaries were able to defeat Wil
lamette by but 3 points In a game
a week ago with the advantage of
..their home floor. If the Bearcats
get the fight and spirit which
characterized the first few minutes
of their play against Oregon, they
have an excellent chance to win.
Coach Rathbun will probably
start the same team that lined up
against Oregon Saturday night.

i There are 16,000,000 motor veKides
in the United States approximately
90 per cent of all in the world.
This total is being increased at the
rate of 4,000,000 a year.
r What is the saturation point? j
Ask any one of the 16,000,000 motor
ists trying to make headway through
the countless traffic jams on some of
our concrete highways. He will tell
you, from the standpoint of comfort and
jdety in driving, the saturation point is
already in sight. h , . ? I

What are you going to do about it?
Even now you are curtailing the use of
your car because you do not want to en
dure the discomfort, inconvenience and
danger of traveling on congested, nar

Your highway officials need your sup
i port. They can't do much unless you
stand squarely behind them. I
To delay building more highways
wide enough and strong enough to meet
all the requirements of modern traffic
will cost you more money than will an
adequate system of Concrete Roads and
