"If this group wants to do some-;

With these wordsSesyvtary Roy

day through a letter to the Salem
Rod and Gun club from Fred H.
Doeliner. Chicago, general man
ager of the league.
Unregulated or poorly regulat
ed methods of taking the salmon
must inevitably result in loss of
inmmit from this source, and loss
of sport for anglers. Mr. Doeliner
pointed out.
"Let the present toll continue
unguided. and without measures
to maintain the supply this source
of tremendous Income will soon be
lost. No words are needed to ex
press the feelings of the sports
men on this subject. The hundreds
oT letters that have come to na
tional headquarters of the league
tell the story," he said.
The principal strength of the
league Is in the middle west and
oast according to .Mr. Doeliner,
but its activities are entirely na
t i f n n 1 and it strikes the need
where it is most evident.
"To league members, distance

vitmtlnii cries for its help," iit
said, "and that Is why it ha:
thrown its whole strength recent

This la but another round of the
agitation which has been preva

tend that they are discriminated
against by their larger brothers

their rights.
Secretary Cannon has" not indi

been suggested that the high

Yet, the freshmen have held Wash

logical result would be, in the
case of basketball, a two division
ournament. At present, there are
ibout 50 high schools which do
not maintain membership in the
association, but might bring new
life to their athletics if they could
compete on even terms with
schools of their own class.

be considered at a future associa

will graduate. Cardinal, De Poe,
and Glass are freshmen; Ashby
and Minto are sophomores in the
law school; Hauk is a sophomore
in liberal arts; and Led better and
Litchfield are juniors in law.
Flesher is the only senior and he
has insufficient credit hours for
graduation. He will be eligible for
another season. Whitman loses
practically its entire team by grad
uation.
Willamette university joined
Whitman and Linfield at the top
of the northwest conference heap
by turning in a 34 to 24 victory J
over Pacific university Friday.
Whitman and Linfield gained
their n laces likewise at the ex
pense of the Badgers.
The only conference game
scheduled this week is at Salem
between Linfield and Willamette
on Saturday. The Wildcats have
won- five straight games and ap
pear to be more formidable than
in any previous year.
An interesting development of
the conference race will be forth
coming, February 1 and 2, when
the Puget Sound Loggers play the
Whitman Missionaries two games
on the Walla Walla floor. These
two strong teams appear to be
evenly matched. Puget Sound
holds a victory over University of
Washington. Whitman lost to the
Huskies by two points, and won
by one point from the University
of Oregon.
Whether the Bearcats can riBel
to heights and defeat these two
teams is an interesting specula
tion. Observers point out that Wil
lamette developed slowly last year
and yet when Whitman came to
Salem with victories over leading
coast conference teams, the Bear
cats won the first game by a ten
point margin, and dropped the
second by a single point.
