Vital Games
Pend; Aggies
Here Tuesday
Basketball In the Pacific Coast
nri Northwest College corner
aces goes Into its vital stage this
ok with camel scheduled which
will determine both the leaders
nd tail-enders for the season. By
the end of the week the relative
standings of the various teams
teams will be practically deter
inlney. Thief Interest locally, of course
centers In the two-game series be
tween the Bearcats and the Ag
gies, the first of which will be
played here tomorrow night. The
second game will be on the Cor
Yallis floor Wednesday evening.
While fighting a big handicap in
the way of weight and experience,
the Bearcats should give the Ag
gies a creditable battle on the lo
cal floor. Willamette will enter
the game tomorrow night in bet
ter condition than it has played
for several games, it Is believed.
Constant battling against heavier
team3 had worn the Bearcats
down to their last reserve upon
their return from their northern
trip last week, but the light work
outs since the Pacific game last
Thursday have brought them back
Into condition.
What the outcome of the Idaho
Washington games on the Moscow
floor will be is the subject of con
siderable speculation, for between
the Vandals and the Hsukies the
championship of both conferences
is to be decided. Bulb games are
cheduled for this week.
The University of Oregon quin
tet invades the southland this
week for contests with California
nd Stanford, games which will
decide whether or not Oregon k
to be alone at the bottom of the
percentage list. Oregon needs
about three victories to give it a
vantage point from which to even
peek out of the cellar.
Whitman cllmbcd.up a notch in
the Northwest circle Saturday
night by defeating the Montana
five a second time 18 to 17, and
Oregon dropped a notch lower by
losing its fourth straight game to
the Aggies 34 to 21. The Califor
nia Bears repeated their perform
ance of Friday evening and took
the Pullman Cougars Into camp
84 to 16.

Temperance
Workers To
Fight Wets
Chicago, Feb. 13. The Wom
en s cnristian temperance union
today made public a statement in
which they said they would meet
the publicity being sent out by
opponents of the prohibition
amendment with publicity of their
own and made public their firs!
effort which appears in the "Lln-
oin edition" of the Union Signal,
the official publication edited by
Ala Anna Gordon.
"Sound the alarm," it reads
'We are going to talk down pro
hibition a failure and talk up prof
ulbition a success. Every day oi
ihe week and every week of toes
months before the election will be
filled with high powered, welti
paid activities on the part of the
iO organizations opposed to prohibition.
"This is their aim, to make the
public believe national prohibition
is a failure and because it is
failure and can never be enforced,
a congress must be elected,
pledged to repeal or modify the
Volstead law and permit the re
turn of the traffic In light wines
and beer, which would mean a
nullification of the law.
"We are going to carry on a
campaign in the newspapers ana
we are going to publish the real
news."

Friends Blamed
For Operations
of Second Ponzi
Youth Arrested For
$4,500,000 Shortage
In Speculations Of
fers Defense
Chicago, Feb. 13. Raymond J.
Bischoff, under detention in con
nection with an admitted shortage
of $4,500,000 as a result of finan
cial dealings with approximately
6000 residents of the Chicago
"back of the yards" district,
blamed a lucky deal with a
friend's J260 for the continued
transactions which have involved
him so heavily.
"A friend begged me to play the
market with his money, saying his
creditors were pushing him," Bis
choff was quoted as having said.
"I consented, doubling bis money
in a week. He told all his friends
and I Immediately was besieged
with similar requests. That was
the beginning of it."
"Oil" His TJndoine.
"Babblings in oil," led to his
present status, be was quoted,
after visions of big financial deals
arose when he found how easy It
was to have others give him their
money to Invest. ,
Bl8choff's attorney maintains
that the 25-year-old "wizard of
Bubbly Creek" has violated no
law in his dealings, despite the
shortage of millions. Bischoff
gave promissory notes for the
money Invested with him, the at'
torney said, adding, "a man can't
be imprisoned for non-payment of
promissory notes if he has cot the
money."
Creditors may realize ten cents
on the dollar, the attorney said.
"While I welcome government
intervention, I could have pulled
through if they had let me alone
another week," Bischoff said.
Charges Conspiracy.
The oil company of which he
attempted to gain control, Bis
choff said, has extensive holdings
in Oklahoma, S3 well as In Texas
fields. Ita stock has a par value
of $1, he said, but recently it
dropped to 22 cents.
"I became interested in the oil
stock last February,' he said. "1
kept putting more money into It,
until in July I though I owned
every share in existence. But then
I discovered a powerful combina
tion was fighting me.
"More shares began to pop up
unexpectedly and before long I
found that through bucket shot
manipulations 1 had been buying
duplicate shares.
"For the last few months 1
have been fighting a losing battle."
