A printed . copy of the ' high
school football championship
scheme proposed by officials of
The Dalles high school was re-
. ceired by Principal J. C. Nelson,
of Salem . high, yesterday The
scheme Is being sent all "over the
state for consideration prior to the
" state meeting.
' : "Each year we spoil quantities
of very good air, waste a lot Jot
printers' ink and nse up consider
able energy in proclaiming ' the
merits, of .this or 'that " football
team and in claiming rather pro
miscuously the mythical and elu
sive state championship," writes
Superintendent C. W. Boetticher,
' In urging serious thought for his
proposition. V
''Simplicity In application and
operation, freedom in contracting
with other schools, v safeguarding
the financial side, of the sport, and
working : out the championship
-honor with the least possible nam
ber of games are chief and import
ant points in the plan." ,
The scheme , proposed In brief
t award the title on the basis
of ' high scores, with the state d!
Tided into an eastern and western
section. The complete scheme fol
lows:
1. The constitution, by laws and
precedents of the O. H. S. A. A.
are to govern as heretofore ex
cept as below.
2. For convenience, the state is
divided into an eastern and a
western section. The Cascade
Mountain range to. be the bound
ary line.
3. The membership of the asso
ciation is divided into two divi
slons. AH schools with 250 or
more students shall be in division
. one, all with lees than 250 shall be
In division two. The scheme pro-
Tides for a championship in each
division.
4. All schools wishing1 to con
tend for the championship must
register their intention with the
board of control, October 1st of
each year. The secretary of the
board shall give each school so
registered a certificate to that ef
fect. : -v i: v:;r-
5. Each school registering as M.
championship 'contender shall pay
. the secretary-treasurer a fee of $5
In addition to the regular mem
bership fee.?' .
6. A school in the lower divi
sion wishing to contend In the up
per division may do so by register
ing in that division as provided for
above and shall pay a fee of $10,
but no school shall register in both
divisions, nor shall a school in the
upper division be permitted to reg
ister In tbe lower.
7. Each school contending for
the championship shall play not
more than five games, during
the regular season, with other
'schools contending for state hon
ors. However, the board of con
trol may authorize fewer than five
If it deems advisable, but must
make its decision known by Octo
ber 10th each year.
8. Any school In either division
may play-any other school as here
tofore, but only scores with
schools -registered for "the cham
pionship shall be counted. Games
won or lost with schools not reg-
Vered for the championship shall
have no bearing whatever In deter
, mining final honor.
. No registered team shall be con
sldered eligible for championship
after being defeated by another
registered team whatever its total
r score. However such defeat shall
not affect the standing of the los
ing team in the championship con
ference in any other .way. f
10. In any game of registered
teams the difference between the
core of the winning team and the
losing team shall be the score
counted in favor of tbe winning
team as part of its total score.
11. The school winning the lar
gest total score la tnla manner
shall be considered division cham
pion.
: 12. The board of control shall
settle tie scores in any manner
mutually agreeable to the schools
concerned. It shall also sanction
and arrange for a game between
the .winners In each section of the
state and In each division of regis
tered schools, i These final games
shall end the season and the win-
ner in eachhall be declared state
champion. ;
Several high school principals in
cluding Superintendent of Schools
Miller" of Milton havej expressed
disapproval of the plan submitted
by The Dalles, contending that the
premium on points scored would
influence coaches always to keep
their best men in the lineup and
give the benefit ot football train
ing only to a few players. It is
believed to be one which will merit
much consideration at the state
meeting, however, as the district
plan for financial reasons is be
lieved to be impracticable.
a 1 - m
a ions muuigrapnea summary
of correspondence between The
Dalles, the state board of control,
and Medford and McLoughlin high
schools concerning the arrange
ment of post-season games was re
ceived at Salem high school yes
terday. It was sent from The Dal
tes to all high scUools in the state
in attempt to show that the Colum
bia river school was deliberately
side-stepped and ignored, after
having been practically promised
a game against McLoughlin high
for the east Oregon title.
From the correspondence. It ap
pears that the crux of the whole
difficulty lies in the fact that some
members of the board of control
apparently issued a statement,
either consciously or not, to the
effect that The Dalles had "with
drawn" from consideration as a
title contender, leaving the way
open for arranging the Medford-
McLoughlin game. This statement
bad never been authorized by The
Dalles and was promptly protested,
but the protest was completely ig
nored, according to Superintendent
Boetticher. A later report from
secretary Cannon stated that the
protest was ignored because tht
game was. not for the champion
ship. "Now if, as Mr. Cannon stated
the game did not involve the
championship, were the rules of
the association observed? And if
the championship was involved,
did Medford meet the right team?
We are not trying to detract from
the calibre of the Medford team,
but we do contend that to award
the championship to Medford on
the basis of ; the , game played at
Milton would be an injustice to us.
We were certainly designated by
the board as logical contenders' for
the championship of our section
and were , deliberately sidestep
ped," the summary reads in part.
Passage of a resolution at the
state meeting last year to the ef
feet that no championship high
school football game : should be
played In 1127 did not Invalidate
the existing association rules and
will not swerve several high school
principals from raising a rumpus
at the mtetlng December SO, Prin
cipal J. C. Nelson said yesterda.
The association constitution' and
by-laws are the working regula
tions ot the organization and can
not be violated. If It was planned
not to hold a championship game
last fall, a change in the rules
should have been made, the belief
is. v ' .
Principal Nelson also received a
letter yesterday from Secretary
Cannon reviling the Salem school
head for raisins the matter of the
association rule, and charging that
poor sportsmanship had been
shown.
"We may go to bat at the state
meeting. If we do, I shall take
the same argument I have present
ed and if there is a vote of lack of
confidence, I shall consider -my
self spanked," the letter read In
part. .
Principal Nelson expressed sur
prise at the tone of Cannon's let
ter.
"I believe Cannon Is getting rat
tled," he said. "I have nothing
against Cannon personally, and I
have not dealt with personalities
In this matter. I am concerned
with the sanctity of association
rules, and will defend them at the
state meeting."

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
- quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids whkh almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken ; then you may
rufier with a dull misery in the- kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment,-the channels often get
, sore and irritated, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. - . -
To help neutralize these irritating
acids ; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flash off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of lad Salts from any
pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful
-nJi-glats )t 4 Water before breakfast
"for a few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. - This famous salts' is
made from the acid of grape and
lemon juke, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys ; also to
neutralize the acids in the system so
they no longer irritate, thus often re
lieving' bladder weakness. 7
Jad Salts is inexpensive ; cannot in
. f;re and makes a delightful efferves
ctzt Libia-water drink.

cial) The Willamette university
freshman hoopsters tonight de
feated Dallas high school 26 to 18
in a game which was ragged un
til the last quarter when both
teams began to check closely. The
Rooks were handicapped by the
absence ot Dwlght Adams, former
Salem high school star, from the
line-up. Adams is a steady passer
and markedly able In working the
ball Into the basket.
Young De Harpport was the in
dividual star of the game. He scor
ed 18 of his team's 26 points. Page

brainy basketball, breaking up the
scoring offensive ot the Dallas
men.
The Dallas center, Gerllnger,
succeeded in getting tbe ball on
almost every toss op from center.
Waddell was taken out shortly af
ter the game started and Marsters
was shitted from guard to take his
place, GUI going in to replace Mar
sters. Most of tbe Freshmen goals
were made from beneath the bas
