Simplicity

What is the keynote Of the
remarkable success of the
Overland? What is it makes
this car the choice of many
thousands of people--the 10y
OF its possessors and the envy
OF its competitors? Matchless
simplicity! This car is so SIM
pie a child can successfully
run it. 1t is so economical
that its upkeep is a very small
item. So sturdy and trouble
free that its successful neqo-
tiation Of the transcontiuental
trip is only a question of the
time it takes. What more
could you ask Of any car at
any price? Come and see the
cars for yourself. We have

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The American
league will adopt a 154 game schedule
at its meeting, which begins tomor-
row, regardless of the action of the
National league in New York, accord
ing to statement of President B.

The American league meeting will

circuit for another decade, as all the
clubs are we'll satisfied with the pres

LOSES HARD GAME
TO w. S. G.. BASKETBALL MEN

floor the two teams presented a pretty
sight, but at the first glance it was
very evident that the w. S. c. men
were larger than the Whitman men.
After a brief warming up for each
team Referee Appellate, physical di-
rector of the city Y. M. c. A., started
the contest Washington State COL
lege scored first in about minute of
play, when Lowrey landed a pretty
goal from the field. This seemed to
put the Whitman men on their met
tie and then began a system of scor-
ing for the Missionaries which for a
while threatened to wipe the w. s.
c. team off the floor After about ten
minutes of play the score stood II to
for Whitman. At this point, how
ever, the Pullman players seemed to
take a brace and then they began to
score, at first slowly, but gradually
getting nearer and nearer the Whit
man score until finally the score was
balanced. Both teams played hard and
fast and the first half ended with a
score of 90 to II for Washington State
college. The playing in this half was
very rough. The collegiate rules which
permit of much rougher playing than
does the old A. A. L. rules, were fully
taken advantage of by both teams and
time after time Referee Apologize had
to call fouls on the players. In this
half Barnes of Whitman and Dewitt
of Washington State who were play
ing against one another, secured four
fouls each and lacked only one foul
from going out of the game.
Second Half.
The second half opened strong.
Washington State college men came on
the floor determined to keep the lead.

VERY FEW CHANGES ARE
MADE In BASEBALL RULES

the playing rules during the preceding
twenty years. In obedience to the pub
lie demand as voiced through the
newspapers, nearly every committee
on rules sought to lessen the doml-
nance of the pitcher and to increase
the likelihood of a batsman reaching
first. This foul strike abomination
had just the contrary effect, and so
far as Thomas was concerned did not
accomplish the object for which it was
intended. 1t has lessened the hitting,
thereby reducing the number of run
ners who should naturally reach first.
AS there is positively no action
that is, real bloOd-stirring action
until a runner or runners, get on
bases. the game has lost much of its
spectacular value to the talent, whose
support keeps it going. Undoubtedly
there will be many to point out the
falsity of these deductions by calling
attention to the fact that the atten-
dance at the games of the American
and National leagues has practically
doubled since the adoption OF the
rule which has given the old sport
so much mental perturbation. That
is undoubtedly true, but not because
of that rule. but in spite of it. me
game has secured such hold in popu-
laa. favor that it will continue to -four
ish despite the efforts of all the RUE
n,apglers in the country to rob 1t OF

land and purse of $4,000 before the

the opportunities for brilliant fielding.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Lakes sugges
ton will be adopted just now. although
1t seems to be in the line of genuine
improvement, but it should not be
turned down without the rule makers
giving their earnest consideration.
Though a majority of them are COM
mitted to the 168-game schedule, it
is to be hoped that the magnates of
the National league will see their way
clear to reconsider their action, and
return to the normal 1915 game affair.
The fact that it is possible to block
out a schedule with the extended dates
without a single conflicting date in
the cities in which there are two clubs,
as has been done by Mr.. Ebbetts of
Brooklyn, should not convince anyone
of the desirability of the change. The
American association played on 1863
game basis last season, and, accord
ing to Jimmie Collins, who managed
Minneapolis, it was a failure from
every point of view. 1t necessarily
increased the number of double head
ers, and long before the season end
ed every team in the league was more
or less crippled. The extra games
worked a particular hardship on the
pitchers, particularly toward the close
, of the season, and there is not the
slightest reason for believing that the
conditions in the National league des-
pite the fact it's clubs carry a greater
number of players, would be a bit bet
ter. Besides it is possible to give the
public too much even of a good thing,
as the owners of those clubs which
happened to be out OF the running
during the last two mo this OF the
season will learn, if tl4e attended
scht.;tle is adopted.

Whitman ............ ...........34
Such is the result of the seventeenth
basketball contest between the Wash
ington State college and Whitman.
The game was played in the new bas-
ketball cage in the Whitman gym
nasium last night and it is doubtful
if ever in the history of basketball in
Walla Walla there has been a closer
or more exciting contest than the one
last night The crowd was a record
breaker and long before it was time
for the contest to begin the bleach
ers, and balcony Of the college gym
nasium were filled with enthusiastic
basketball fans from the Whitman
student body and from the towns
people as well. The game last night
was the fourth game which Washing
ton State college has played on it's
present tour and it is the fourth game
that it has won. The teams which
have fallen De1Ore washington state
so far this trip are Oregon Agricul-
tural college, two games; University
of Oregon, one game. and Whitman,
one game The game last night was
the first of a series of three games
which will be played between W. S.
C. and Whitman. The remaining three
games will be played in Pullman dur
ing the first week in March.
Band Plays for Crowd.
With a local band playing rag time
music. and with the eager spectators
waiting patiently for the game to
start, the two teams came onto the
floor. The Whitman men were dressed
in their blue and gold basketball uni
forms and the w. S. c. men were
dressed in crimson and gray. On the
