With Rod and Gun By Erneet Roatel and Dick Qnin Senator Charles McNary haH been tho recipient of many letters during the past few weeks urging him to take favorable action In connection with the proposed fed eral ten-year plan for the destruc tion of predatory animals in the west. The plan Includes the ap propriation of $1,(M(0,000 fur each year, with the fund placed at the dlHposul of the Unitud States bio logical survey as part of the activ ities of the department of agricul ture. Oregon sheepmen Par ticularly Interested In the exter mination of the animals of prey, including coyotes, blamed for many thousands of dollars worth of dumage annually. However, there Is some opposi tion to the plan from nature lov ers, humane societies and fur deal ers, according to Washington re ports, but the opposition is not expected to be sufficiently strong to thwart the passage of the mea sure. It Is claimed a portion of the opposition Is based on sentl inentullsm and no true facts can be given for the protection of the coyotes. MoNt of the. disapproval comes : from eastern states and concerns Ithe plans to set out poison for the wolves and coyotes. The eastern ers say the poison used for the animal killing would be picked up by other than predatory unimals. Jtird lovers say birds would eat the poison and game fowl would be damn god. Fur dealers claim the fur bUHlnesH would suffer duo to the death of fur anlmals.eating the i poison. They do not object to the uhb of trap guns, but are all 1 againsi. the urn of poison. The Oregon state game commission and the lzaak Walton league of Oregon nro supporting tho plan. With two bills before congress blaming floods ami the disntUrouH effect of droughts in America on over-drainage, a weather man has presented further reasons for alarm over the increasingly effec tive efforts of the country to shed the rain from Its back uh fast as It falls. W. II. Alexander, senior meteor ologist of the weather bureau at ColumbuH, Ohio, In a letter re ceived by tho American Oame as sociation, declared that the remov al of standing water from the fare of tho land Induces more fickle weather and greater extremes In tempernture ns well as a less healthful atmosphere for both plant and nnlmul life. "Thn llfo-glvlng quality of tho atmosphorn as well as lis degree of comfort Is luixi.ly determined hy the amount of molsturo In tho air," Mr. Alexantlcr said. "nodlos of water, hoth largo and amall, aro the chief source of this moisture, or humidity, and many small bodies servo the sanio pur pose us a large ono. They become. In a very Importunt way, Just so many 'oases' in tho atmosphere, und so help to form conditions fa vorable to the development und sustenance of animal anil veget able life. "The tendency of n. body of water Is to render weather condi tions slightly more equable. The temperature extremes, for example are never so great near tho water aB over land areas,'' ho pointed out. .The two bills beforo congress would seek to prevent floods and droughts by establishing reservoirs lakes, ponds nnd farm terracing.

P.) Hasket ball Is just what the name implies. The first goalH were old fashioned round wooden peach baskets tack ed upon the side of a wall. The origin of the game some 39 years ago was recalled by Hob Hoardman, a Salem Y. M. C. A. physical director. Hoardman is an old-tMne friend of Dr. James Naismith, father of tho game. Naismith, a Scotchman, Is at present head of physical edu cation at University of Kansas. Invention Accidental Invention of basketball was accidental." Hoard m ansaid. "Nai smith was a student assistant in the physical department at Spring field college. He was asked to de vise a new game for men in the gymnasium. The new game was needed badly, as the football sea son had been completed, and the parallel bars and German exer cises were becoming tiresome. "Pop Garfield, a janitor and col orful character at the Illinois col lege, carried a small ladder back and forth between the goals and scooped the ball out of the basket every time it happened to fall in. The first basketball was a soccer ball. Thirteen Rules "Thirteen rules were written by Naismith at the start. Twelve of them are still in the rule book. As the game was devised for a gm class of 18 students, it was played with nine on a side. Later, It was played with more men, but finally came down to the present five." Naismith was a star soccer play er as well as a skilled boxer and wrestler, Hoardman said. He also played considerable football. Dur ing Naismlth's days nt Springfield, such men attended the college as Alonzo Stagg, football coach ; Luther (iullck. author and physi cal expert; Dr. James Huff Mc Curdy, for years on the football rules committee, and Dr. Prank Seerloy, famous psychologist. , Ancient Wntcruuiin Found.

Haskethall reaches Us climax in this section tonight with the first of the annual games between Ashland and Medford high schools to decide the southern Oregon dis trict title and the right to enter the state tournament at Salem, the last of March. The largest crowd of the season with the student bodies of both schools out en masse, will pack tho armory. The preliminary game between St. Mary's Academy and the junior high school will start at seven o'clock. The main engagement will start at its conclusion. Ralph Coleman, Oregon State college, will act as referee nnd L. L. Deal of Grants Pass will officiate as umpire and luuid timekeeper. It is tho first time in a decade that the officials for the Rogue River valley's star spring athletic event have not been from the University of Oregon. Fast Pace Ordered The Medford team finished Its hard practice last evening and will taper off today with a light work out. Coach liurgher's last general Instructions were to set a terrific clip, from start to finish. Tho Ashland team In general, and Howell, their tall center in par ticular, have shown in their last three games they do not like a fast paco and that is one thing thoy will get this evening. They nearly lost to Grants Pass last Fri day when they tuckered in the last half. Medford will have the advantage in three or four places, viz., better physical condition, better season's record and playing on their own floor, before a home crowd. Over confidence is tho only thing they have to battle, and Coach Burgher thinks that has been eradicated.-Line-ups The starting line-up of Medford will bo: Hughes and G. Harrington, for wards: Caldwell, center; Thomas and White, guards. Clay, first string forward, recovering from an Injured knee, will play if Harring ton fails to click. The young man has been going great guns In his bi.st three starts. The Ashland starting line-up will be: Heed or and Gill, forward; Howell, center; Myers and Mabbot guards.
