"check" as he called it. as proof

OPPOSED VIEWS ON TAX

WAHINGTON, Nov. 14. (By
Associated Press.) Contests on
the estate and automobile tax
rates appear likely when the pro
posed ta'x reduction bill reaches
the floor of the house.
Although modifications of both
taxes have been agreed by the
house ways and means committee
in preparing the bill on a non
partisan basis and an almost
unanimous report by the commit
tee is expected, some house mem
bers have expresed opposing
view on these rates.
Representative Watson of Penn
sylvania, a republican member
o fthe committee today announced
he would seek repeal of the estate
levy. On the other hand, some
house members, including Repre
sentative Ramseyer, republican,
Iowa, are considering fighting the
reduction in estate rates proposed
by the committee.
Similarly some members in
both parties are quietly laying
plans to conduct a fight on the
floor for repeal of the 5 percent
levy on automobiles passenger
cars. . .; - , - -
The committee" voted to cut this
tax to three per cent, which it es
timates would mean a loss of rev
enue of $37,500,000 annually.

In the face of this opposition,
however. Representative Tilson of

CANOEIST WINS BATTLE

Amos Berg, Jr., canoeist, staged a
dramatic battle for life this after
noon in Cascade Rapids before the
click of two moving picture cam

the passing of the final barrier In
the young adventurers voyage
from the headwaters of the Snake
river to the ocean. '
After successfully negotiating
the. first two dangerous rapids,
the youth, who was out in the
river about a quarter of a mile,
turned his frail craft into the last
of - the treacherous waters that
have never been conquered by a
canoeist.
' For a few seconds the craft
withstood the boiling maelstrom,
then capsized. With death appar
ently unescapable, young Berg
made a wonderful recovery and
succeeded In getting a hold on his
canoe, only to have it wrenched
Irom his grasp time and time
again as it was tumbled and pitch
ed about by the mad waters.
Three miles below, wearied to
the point of exhaustion, he was
barely able to pull himself up on
an island. The canoe floated on
down the Columbia river.

The game was an epic that held
8 0,000 persons spellbound through
a near autumnal atiernoon.- sev
eral thousand Washington alums
and their friends hurled hats into
the air and jumped up and down
in a frenzy when the touchdown
came that meant the first Husky
victory over California in six years.
The Washington victory came
with dramatic suddenness. While
honors were fairly even in the
first half. California had the best
of the entire third quarter and
the first part of the fourth.
George Wilson, the great Husky
half back, had given his all
which meant that he had carried
the ball most of the time and
backed up his team on defense like
a fortress and been helped from
the field weeping at his luck and
protesting mutely. L. Tesreau had
replaced him and tore off some
gains when his brother, Elmer,
began to play like a man pos
sessed. A 10-yard smash off-
tackle preceded his thrilling dash
for a touchdown. The Bears made
their big bid for victory in the
third period and it looked as if
nothing eould stop them. Jabs,
the Bear fullback, punctured his
line for consistent gains once
for nine yards. Imlay and Dixon
ran the efcds. The ball traveled to
the Husky seven-yard line. ' There
Dixon swept .around end but was
tackled for a two-yard loss and
Washington punted out of danger.
Throughout the third period and
until late in the fourth the Bears
kept the ball virtually all the time.
They had it deep in Husky ground
most of the time but not deep
enough, The-Hu8kieof the; ball

Each team failed once-in an at

Washington missed two excel
lent chances to score . in the sec
ond stanza. Once the Huskies had
the hall on the 10-yard line and
missed a pass over the goal line
and another time the Bears held
for downs on their two-yard line.
Up to the time of - the victorious
rally Washington made its most
spectacular plays on passes, using
a -trick lateral toss to advantage
several times.
Wilson and Captain Tesreau
were largely responsible for stop
ping California. The Husky line
could not hold the Bears, who
streamed through on numerous oc
casions for long gains. But the
California backs Jabs, Griffin,
Imlay, Perrin, Dixon and Willi,
alternating got through, holes
only to be thrown inexorably by
Wilson or' Tesreau. - The Husky
quarterback, Guttormsen, lived up
to advance notices. He played a
whale of a game. .
The punting duel was about
even, with Dixon doing the work
for California, Guttormsen- and
Wilson dividing it for the visitors.
The Bruin line was a revelation.
Time after time, it stopped the
Husky dead in its tracks, and
equally.often it opened up breach
es on offense. "The game, while
a ripping, tearing affair, brought
no charges of unnecessary rough
ness. No one- was seriously hurt.
California started a furious of
fensive in the first period, after
Washington had received the kick
off, failed to gain and been forced
to punt. Jabs went through the
line for steady gains-: Once Dixon
