Franklin high school, the cham
pions of the Portland lnterschol-
astlc.-league have been extended)
an invitation by the state board of
control of the' Oregon state bas
ketball tournament to compete in
the series played here March 12,
,13, 14. Up to a late hoar, the
.' Invitation has not been accepted,
but from all indications the Port
land champions will be in Salem
for the state tournament.
1 ; This is one of the most out
standing features of the games
and marks a turning point in the
history of the interscholastic bas-
: ketball of Oregon. Formerly the
Portland high schools were mem
bers, of the league, but for some
. reason or other they were not able
' to compete in the state series. As
a result the Portland district was
separate from all others. Nego
tiations were undertaken to have
Portland schools enter the tourn
ament, but with no success..
Once : before, when Portland
schools participated in the state
tournament. Franklin high won
the state championship in one of
the closest games played of the
final, series here. Coach Meeks,
veteran of the Quaker team was
in charge at that time. V r
With the entrance of the Port
land team in the state contests
. the competition for the state title
is at white heat. Salem is a eer
tainity winner in the Salem dis
trictand will have an opportunity
to meet the Portland champs.
From all indications it will be
one of the best played tourna
ments In the history of the organ
ization. Wita the return of the
Portland schools there is sounded
one 'of the most favorable notes
of the. season. ,
Ten' .teams w:ill compete in the
peries of games to be started here
with, two games Thursday night.
March 12. Consequently there
will be nine fast. games played
during the tournament .. With the
proper groupings, this promises to
bo one of the best tournaments.
The different teams.- from the
Oregon districts will produce some
of the teams of national timber,
before the games are finished.
Games are slated for Thursday
night, Friday afternoon and even-
- ing, and the semi-finals and fin
als Saturday.
Service clubs of the city have
offered their services in making
me tournament a brilliant success
The board of directors of the In
ternational Lions club have gone
o.i record to give every assistance
to the officials of the tournament
Kiwanis and Rotary are lining
up and from all indications the
games will be well supported.
KritK v. .
OTitu me new ruling mat an

tournament, it means that addi

shouldered by the backers of the
tournament. However, the accom

practically all details attended to.
previous to the arrival of the play

Season tickets have been placed
on sale in various parts of the
city. J Individuals are selling the
tickets "as well as a 'number of

Just how the . ehamnlnnshln

tournament again this year, as in
dicated by the late Teports. This
school is scheduled to play Ash-
land, and in case the school wins
one game of two that must be
played Medford will be allowed
to participate in the Btate tourna

PIICIPSL SCORES :
MEASURE BY EDDY
J. C. Nelson Raps Education
al Bill Prepared By Sen
ator From RosebursP
J, C. Nelson, principal of the
Salem high school,? scored the
Eddy educational bill which was
prft to sleep for two years at the
recent legislature during the noon
luncheon of the Rotary club.
"It is unfair to the children or
our state to saddle them with edu
cation that they have outgrown.
Senator Eddy failed to recognize
the adapting of the individual to
the course of study. To place the
grade studies in the high school
would upset our educational sys
tem of the day. There would be
a tendency for the grade teacher
to let things slide, thinking that
the child would be taught the
subjects in high school, and by
more efficient teachers than her
self.", i I "
"The senator claims to have
great pressure brought to hear
upon him to have the course of
study revised. The courses that
he would require . are already a
part of our curriculum. If the
demand was urgent, why do ; not
the patents require that their
children 'take the subjects '(Every
child is -given an opportunity to
take these subjects." ' :
, i Professor Nelson , presented a
talk from the educator's point of
view to the Rotary club. The
need of a proper understanding
of the problem is necessary, de
clared the speaker. ?- "
"All the talk about the high
school not having any discipline
except what is' administered by the
students is absolutely false. Any
one can come over to the high
school and see for himself." ' r
The speaker scored the manner
of criticizing the course of study
and demanded the same methods
of testing the educational system
be given as used in other parts of
civic affairs.
Mis Naomi Phelps of Salem
sang '"The Beautiful Home of the
Rose," a song dedicated to the
blind of Oregon who are outside
the state Institutions. :

SILVERTON. March 3. -(Special
to The Statesman.) At the
regular meeting of the city coun
cil of Silverton Monday night a
petition was presented stating that
the wages paid to A. E. . Janx,
water superintendent of the city
of Silverton, were too high. Mayor
G. I. Larr declared the petition
out of order because the charter
provides that the water commis
sion shall fix the wage of the
superintendent.
B!ds for the building of the new
city hall were opened but all were
rejected as they were above the
120,000 provided for the building.
The highest bid was $23,887 and
the lowest bid in was for $22,330.
The council will re-advertise for
bids.
