Methodists Take Lead at Start
and Hold Visitors Down
by Fast Work
The AYillamette university basket
ball stock was lofted several points
last night when the Idaho squad was
taken clown the line to the tune of 25
to 21. Willamette took the lead from
the start and was never headed though
the invaders approached within one
point in the first half. Irvin started
the scoring by dropping a free throw
through the hoop and Flegel netter a
Tiasket a moment l.vter. The first half
ttood 11 to 13 for Willamette.
The Idaho men took about three
shots at the basket to Willamette's one
but the Methodists have vastly improv
ed in basket shooting and Idaho was
' unable to register. On the floor the
visitors excelled in teamwork but the
W. U. team showed the greater speed
and Shisler, Jewett and Irvin wriggled
about and dropped the ball through the

SEATTLE LAST NIGHT
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 12. riaying
rings around Portland in the second
and third periods, Seattlo copped last
night's ice hockey contest 8 to 4. The
locals were as much surprised as anyone
to win from the league leaders.
Bernio Morris, who went into the fra
cas with an injured arm, was the star
performed for the Metropolitans. He
scored four, of the Seattle goals and
helped in one other.
Portland failed to show to good ad
vantage in its passing.
The Seattle boys were on top of every
man to Teceive a pass and the Uncle
Sams let many get away.
Each team made a goal in the first
period. Seattle put over three and
Portland two in the second canto. The
third frame saw Seattle step to the
front and make four tallies while the
visitors were making one dent in the
net.
"Moose" Johnson was ill and retired
from the game in the thiTd period in fa

Vancouver Beat Victoria.
Vancouver, B. C, Feb. 12. It took
more than 10 minutes of overtime play
here last night for the Vancouver
hockey squad to win from the homeless
Victoria contingent 7 to 6.
The locals started out strong and
were administering what seemed would
be an awful drubbing for Patrick's
boys, when the Victorias enme back.
Vancouver scored a goal just before
the end of the third period thnt would
have given them the game but Referee
Phillips disallowed it.

The game was rough and fast and
provided plenty of thrillers for the
large crowd which jammed the bleach

of the game on account of an injury
sustained in a game about two weeks
ago and his dribbling was missed How
ever, Jewett had a little trick of tak

All Soldiers In Trenches Now
Armed With Breech load
ing Aboriginal Guns
By William O. Shepherd.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
Athens, Greece, Jan. 1. (By mail.)
German trench bombs fired from rif
les', unloaded by ally army experts here
show these rifle bombs to be the most
intricate of all bombs so far used in the
great war. Four separate explosions are
required to fire a bomb. The explosion
of the rifle sends the bomb perhaps
200 yards, where it alights on its nose
exploding a percussion cap, which lights
a brass cap filled with gun cotton,
which also explodes and causes half a
pound of gun cotton in the main body
of the bomb to be exploded. The bomb
weighs only a pound, is no more deadly
than most other trench bombs and costs
perhaps ten dollars.
Athens, Greece, Jan. 1. (By mail.)
At last the warriors have got down to
using clubs, just ordinary clubs, for
hrninintr man TIia lnulrn.UA.mnn
diers are supplied with bludgeons and
on parts of the British front the ally
soldiers have been furnished clubs cov
ered with spikes. These British clubs
look much like the Big Stick American
cartoonists used to picture T. R. using.
The clubs are for use by troopers ca
tering trenches on the sly and slaying
noiselessly ro that men in other parts
of the trench don't know what is going
on.
One of the newest missels in the great
war is a huge shell the Germans threw
at the Dardanelles. . Only air guns
could throw tho shell without exploding
it, and these new air guns must be
ten 'inches ih bore and many feet
long. One of these big shells which fell
in the British line unexploded has been
taken apart by experts. It is ten inches
in diameter and fifteen inches high,
made of sheet steel with wooden plug
disks nt each end. This big steel can
contained scventysix pieces of scrap
iron and twenty-five pounds of tri-ni-tro-toluol.
The missle weighed 51
pounds. The firing of the big shell must
have been touchy work. Imagine a fire
cracker ten inches thick, that would
blow a bole in the earth six feet deep
and ten feet in diameter Imagine
yourself facing the duty of lighting the
fuse on this fifty-one pound cracker
and then, while the fuse wns sputtering,
plncing the cracker in the mouth of u
giant air gun and firing the gun in
time to get the cracker out of your
neighborhood before it went off.
Most hand bombs don't go off by
contact. They must be lighted first
and then thrown. Sometimes the light
ing is done with a match or a eigitret;
other times by pulling a little string
Which rilbfl two -itrinu rxt m,l,.)i ...
gether somewhere in the handle of the
juihm. nmu sides in ine great war have
bombs of various sorts for various
needs. If the enemy is oncoming, for
instance, you must have a, bomb that
will explode quickly; if you're rushing
toward him you neel a bomb thnt you
can throw fur nhea,l and that will have
done its job by the time you reach the
scene.
The French have the fastest hand
bomb known. The tlirr.u-i.i- ..
leather thong on his wrtst and a hook
"it uijs uiong is nitnciied to a hook on
the bomb. The uct of throwing lights
the fuse, which iu u, .,,. n.l ....
burning that the explosion i.s almost im
mediate. The slowest bomb, perhaps, is the Ser
vian. It is shaped like a pocket whis
key flnsk, neck, stopper nnd all and is
of iron and brass. The thrower un
screws the brass top, hits a tiring pin
on a stone or the butt of his rifle and
then, after a space of seven seconds
throws it. The bomb throbs in tin
man's hand just before it is due to ex
plode, giving him warning. If he throws
the bomb too soon the other fellow mov
pick it up and throw it back at him.
Bomb experts figure thnt imv soldier
can pick up a lighted band bomb nnd
throw it away from himself if he has
live seconds to spare.
Totem Pole Said To Be
"Vile Beyond Description"
San Francisco. Feb. 11. "I do not
believe the great Baptist denomination
would care to have publicity given this
case through nn nppeal to the treasury
department. For this reason I asked
Dr. George K. JiiirliHgaine, one of the
leading Baptist ministers on the pacif
ic coast to view the Durmese totem
pole that has just been imported into
this country,"
Collector' of the Port J. O. Davis
made this comment today when asked
to ilii-ciiss the action of Itev. J. H. Fast
of Portland, former inKslonary, in tak
ing up with the Portland chamber of
commerce, his troubles over the impor
tation of the pole.
"I have thought up to this time,"
Davis added, "that Dr. Fast never
saw this totem pole, didn't know
wh it was on it and wu, therefore, ap
pealing to me to overrule the person
who said it. because he did not know
its true nature. ' '
Davis said Dr. P.urlingnme called the
polo "vile beyond description."

Dallas Basket Tossers
Defeated Idaho T
(Capital Journal Special Service.)
Dallas, Or., Feb. 12. In one of the
fastest games of basketbalt ever wit
nessed on the local floor the University
of Idaho team went down to defeat at
the hands of the Dallas team by a
score of 25 to 1. Tho game was" an
exciting one from start to finish but
at no time was Dallas in danger of
being defeated. IVbo Shaw, the star
center of the famous Dallas team which
toured the East several years ago,

and "camo back" with several baskets
thrown from tiyht places to his credit.

May Dispense With Roadmaster.
It is possible that at the next meet
ing of the couutv court thnt body will
dispense with the services of Waldo
' Finn, who has been employed as roa 1
master of Polk county for the past two
years. The county officials figure that
the work now being done by Mr. Finn
can be placed in the hands of the dif
ferent road supervisors thus making a
saving of about $150 a month to ;he
, county. During tho time Mr. Finn hot
j held the office of roadmaster the work
' on the roads litis been more satis
factory than it has been for years
ns he. wns a road expert of ability, but
the commissioners declare that tin
benefits derived from sperial super
vision of road huilding has been less
than the expense keeping the office.

THE INFINITE LESSON.
We nre all of us learning our lc-sons,
Still children at school, in way,
With a "pirit for toil and adventure
And a hunger and yearning for play.
And some of us dream of our triumphs
And some of us think of our care,
And sonic of us struggle in patience,
And some of us struggle in prayer;
But the truth of it all is fhe lesson
Life tenches to those in the light
That only tho right shall triumph,
And there's nothing worth while but
the right.
