means that the conference teams
hare the courtesy of conducting
contests between the Portland
schools and themselves.
" Portland ' Is not a member, of
the conference-and whether the
two leagues will arrange games
will be seen later'.
Previous to -this ruling' there
was a ban against -the Portland
schools and state championship
teams were not permitted to con
test with the Portland champions.
Th& situation is not changed,
however, but the new ruling gives
the two leagues a chance to get
together. j j ' :
The tournament is to be con
ducted here . under the auspices of
the Willamette ; university, the
same as In the past. j. There has
been no change of the schedule or
of the rules. I The districts are
the same, with a new method of
selecting the representative from

the need for legislation. Some
members said afterwards that it
was doubtful that even the com

farm bloc expressed doubt that,
with the jam already facing the
senate, it would be possible to get
through any measure that would
afford substantial relief.
There Is a wide difference of
opinion among the friends of the
farmers as to just what shape leg

proposals from ' tb commission.
several other measures, notably
the Xorris-Sinclair and the modi
fied McXary-Haugen bills, 'have
