BASKETBALL WARM
AT OCCIDENTAL
League Series VIII Be Played by
Girls and Name of Winning
Glass VIII Be on
Cup

The girls of Occidental college and
academy are practicing daily in
preparation for a series of basketball
games for the cup offered by President
Baer for the winning classes in both
the college and preparatory classes. A
league series will be played, and the
class ending with the highest percent
age will have the class name engraved
on the cup. The class winning the cup
three times will become the owners of
the cup. Already the present junior
class of the college has won the cup
twice and will enter the race with
strong team this fall. Likewise the
juniors of the academy have won it
twice, and will prove strong factors in
the coming series.
The freshman team of the college will
enter the field with a strong team.
Miss Mary Gillis, formerly captain Of
the South Pasadena basketball team,
will captain the team, with Miss Mer-
riam formerly of Santa Barbara, and
Miss Weiman of the Occidental Wei
man family, will bear with her the
brunt of the work. This is from all
standpoints the strongest team that
ever entered the college and should
give the juniors all they can handle in
defending its already envious record.
The class Of 1912, although the team
Is URnIs put up d SdlIiC AiSllb 'o1e'AAiaN
the juniors last year and undoubtedly
will give the other teams race for the
cup. Misses Gardner, Osmond and NC
Clung formed the nucleus of this year
team. The seniors are weak, only hav-
ing three of their old players back, but
will enter d team.
In the academy race, with all their
old team back, the juniors will put up
the greatest scrap with the contesting
teams, and already have doped the re-
suit, although the fourth years VIII
keep them busy for a while at least.
So far the first year team is an un-
known quantity, but it will enter into
the fight with all the braVado OF the
upper classes.
George w. Braden, the physical di-
rector, who is running the series, ex-
poets a hot fight from start to finish,
as all the teams will be in fine trim be-
fore the first game is pulled off.

RUSSIA is ASKED
TO PROTECT HEBREWS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Representa-
tive Goldfogle, of New York, would have
the treaty of 1888 between the United
States and Russia abolished unless the
Russian government ceases what he de-
clares to be a discrimination by that
country against American Hebrews and
he has introduced a resolution bringing
about this result.
The terms of the treaty providing that
the inhabitants of the two countries
"shall mutually have the liberty of en-
PERTAINING, sojourning and residing in ali
parts of the respective territories of each
other are set forth, and 1T is then de-
elared that Russia has repeatedly and
in the face of remonstrance from this
country refused to wise out passports be-
cause of the religious belief of some OF
the holders of them.
In the resolution the president is di-
rected to renew negotiations which shall
protect our Hebrew citizens against this
discrimination.
