Whether or not the Farm Bureau
will give the atamp of Its approval to
the Oregon Grain Growers' Assocta
tion recently organized at The Dalles
was not decided at the meeting. The
farmers decided that the matter Is
one demanding more time and consid

aociatlon and report its findings at a
masa meeting to be held here In two
weeks. At thle time banker, business

with the association still In the exper
imental stage, they are loath to join.
The six year contract demands that
the growers turn over their wheat
crops for marketing at a figure set by
that association and unless the move
meni has definite assurance of success
It is probable that approval here will
be withheld.

DRASTIC
HIGH SCHOOL
PROTESTED;
WILLING TO GO TO BAT
(Speclal to East Oregonian.)
BAKER, Jan. 28. Pendleton t
high school's basketball team
was defeated here last night In a
rout,h and tumble game by Pa
ke! high school, score: Raker,
36, Pendleton., 19. Hanley and
Htendal were the stara l&e ' the
visitors and Ulakely for the win
ners. Fast teamwork was re
sponsible for taker's victory.
Any question concerning the elig
ibility of athletes representing Pendle
ton high school may be settled by
presentation of the faeta to the board
of control of the Oregon High School
Association, H. E. Inlow, superintend
ent of schools, said today, following
receipt of notice from Baker that
Haker high school has protested the
eligibility of Myron Hanley and Ken
neth Ktendal, members of the local
basketball team.
"Baker has had opportunity since
September to file Its protest and re
ceive the decision of the proper tri
bunal,'' Mr. Inlow said today. "We
are perfectly willing that that body,
not the Portland newspapers, shall be
selected for an airing of the facts."
The protest was not filed until yes
terday, following the arrival in Baker
of the local squad to jilay a series of
two basketball games. Notice of the
protest was served on Coach Hanley
about 7:30 when he brought his team
onto the floor to begin the game.
Twenty minutes of argument ensued,
following which the game waa taken
up. Baker won the ga"me.
Protest Gold Footballs
A second grdund upon which Baker
bases protest is the receipt by mem
bers of the football team recently of
tiny gold footballs, given by the Pen
dleton Kotary Club to 16 boys in ap
preciation of their having won for
Pendleton the football championship
of Eastern 6Yegon. The protest Is
based on the allegation of Baker that
the trophies have Intrinsic value.
"We gave these footballs not as any
reward for service but In appreciation
of a victory," Kev. George L. Clark,
chairman of the boys' work committee
of the Kotary Club, said today. "They J
uae iiu luirmsic aiue our are purely
extrinsic. The Rotary Club believes
it has violated fio rule'of the High
School Athletic Association and cer
tainly would, not do so. The club did
not give sweaters to any member of
the team.' . -
Following the award of the mono
gram letters' to members of the foot
ball squad weeks ago, the boys voted to
buy themselves navy olue sweaters.
These have not yet been deliveaaxl.
Neither Kenneth Stendal nor Myron
Hanley, tho boys protested, has yet or
dered a sweater nor has .provision
been made for their receiving, one.
Residence Rule Clear.
Under the residence rules' of the
state high school athletic code, both
boys are eligible to cpmpete in athlet
ics. The second semester began Jiere
last Monday and both registered after
having earned credits in all their first
semester subjects. Baker's on4y
ground for protest, it is pointed out,
lies in the decision of the board of
control as to the intrinsic or extrinsic
value of the trophies given by the Ro-,
tarians. 'i
"Baker's request that certified cop
ies of the guardianship papers of
Stendal and Hanley be lorwarded
them was not complied with because
that is no longer a consideration, ' said
Austin Landreth, principal of the
high-school today. "Both have re
s.oed in this district for a full semes-
ter nnd are thus fully eligible to conv
ppte In athletics, regardless of any le-!
gal proceedidtes."
Mr. Landreth. like Mr. Inlow. ex
pressed his willingness and desire that
any matters in connection with elig
ibility be threshed out in the .proper
tribunal. Both decried the "grand-
! stand" tactics of the Raker superin-
lendenfFrpiuiKS Itrown, as being
conductive to bad feeling and poor
sport sn.tnship.
OHl Sore .Never Ilrnlcd.
The Uukcr protest, it is said on good
authority here, goes well into past his
tory, Two years ago liaker, in a track
meet, run a man whom Pendleton pro-
J tested as ineligible.. The state board
of control upheld the protest. Last
fall, during the fooniail season,' Pftker
also talked ot protesting the same men
against whom complaint was filed yes
terday.

ents and principals in Portland a

PROPOSAL DOWNEDALSO
Representative Mason Says
From Unprejudiced- Sources
He Has Found Bolsheviks
Doing Good for People.
WASHINGTON". Jan. 28. (A. P.)
The house voted down last night a
proposal to pave the way for appoint
ment of an ambassador to Russia and
struck out of the diplomation appro
priation bill a provision for raising the
American legation at Pekin to an em
bassy.
Then finding It feet entangled In
diplomatic problems, It quit with an
agreement! to continue consideration
tomorrow.'
After a brief debase the house re
jetted an amendment by Representa
tive Mason, republican, Illinois, to set
aside 1 17,500 as the salary of an am
bassador so that Mr. Harding aa pres
ident might be prepared to establisl
diplomatic relations with Russia. Mr.

tion from unprejudiced sources Indi
cated that the bolsheviks had done
more for the people than ever was
duno before.

ister to the country of the Serbs,

ground that there waa no authority of
law for such representation. A point
of order was made against the provi
sion aiid also against a proposal for
appointment of ministers to Finrund
and Turkey.
A section providing for ministers to
Czecho-Slovakia and to Poland at sal
