mo icim 11 ih Ainens, center on
the championship 1918-19 team gives
us five letter men,, the other four are
Peterson, Ferguson, Irwin and
Young.
Irwin, last year's forward, looks
sweet and is working hard, his last
year's running mate, Pattison, gradu
ated and there are several candidates
out to fill the vacancy left ty him.
Howell, Chidsey, and the McDuffee
brothers are the loading candidates
for this position. The guard posi
tions are in doubt, but Peterson and
Ferguson seem to have the edge,
while Orr, center on the football
team and who made a substitute last
year, is making the boys open their
eyes by his guarding ability.
Center seems to be the hardest po
sition for the coach to fill. Young
last year's center is a fair man, and
bids strong. Boyd, a lanky 6-foot 4
lad seems to be inexperienced, but
has the fight, he may land the posi
tion. The opening game will be with
Lexington, January 14, on our own
floor.

the state were freely discussed and
the sense of the meeting expressed
in the following resolutions:

facing a serious unemployed problem

WHEREAS, it would seem that
much of the problem could be solved
in its relations to conditions in Ore
gon if every public official and citi

part, therefore be it
RESOLVED by the Oregon Asso

missioners in convention assembled
on December 13, 1920, that we rec

HIS TIME ALL T00 SHORT
Dying Profiteer Could Not Make Com
plete Confession of Iniquity in
One Brief Day.
Armin W. Riley, head of the "flying
squadron" that hunts down profiteers
tor the department of justice, told a
profiteer story at a Washington re
ception. "A sick profiteer," he said, "was
told by his physician that be had only
a short time to live. Accordingly he
expressed a desire to confess his sins,
and a divine was sent for.
"The divine entered the dying prof
iteer's chamber and the door was
closed. An hour, two hours, three
nc. ins passed. -Nothing was to tie heard
by the attendant nurses and physi
clans- outside in the corridor save the
steady, monotonous How of the prof
iteer's confession, punctured at brief
Intervals by exclamations . of horror
and indignation ou the part of the
divine.
"Lunch was sent into the sickroom,
and the confession went on. The af
ternoon waned. The sun set. Night
fell. The divine's dinner was carried
to him. And still the profiteer con
tinued to confess.
"Haggard and unstrung, the divine
at last tottered forth at daybreak.
" 'Our unfortunate friend,' he said,
'is no more. He worked very, very
hard; but at the time he passed
away he had only carried his confes
sion through the first year of the
wur."
