PREPARE.FOR
SOUTHERN TRIP
WHITMAN COLLEGE BASKET
GALL TEAM WILL GO INTO
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
EXPECT TO MEET OREGON AND
THE AGGIES, AND MULTNO-
NAH DURING VACATION


nasium Coach J. Merrel Blanchard of
the varsity basketball team is put
ting his men through two hours of
hard practice in preparation for the
trip which the collegians will take
into the Willamette valley during the
intermission between semcsters. On
this trip the varsity will meet the
Multnomah athletic club for one game,
the. University Of Oregon for one
game. Oregon Agricultural college for
two games and possibly also Vancou-
yer High school. This is the first
time in the history of the institution
that a Whitman basketball team has
ever gone into the Willamette valley.
Early in the season Manager Howard
Baker saw the feasibility of such a
trip for his team and he Immediately
began to make arrangements for the
southern invasion. Baker had no
trouble in arranging games with the
Oregon Agricultural college, the Uni
Versity and with Multnomah and as
a result the varsity team will have a
fine trip during the interim between
semesters.
Bomb Among Athletes.
A bomb was thrown into the ranks
of basketball supporters at the col
lege yesterday when it was announced
that Captain Belt, forward, and the
best player on the team, George Cush
man, guard, and Big Neil, guard.
were given athletic conditions by the
college faculty. 1t could not be learn
ed yesterday what these conditions
we're for. Whether or not it will ne
cessitate the retirement of these three
men from the varsity team or even
from the proposed trip into the Will
annette valley is not known.
Meet City Y. M. c. A.
Tomorrow night in the college gym
nasium the varsity will meet the city
Y M. c.. A. team for the second game
by the two teams Whitman took the
first game by a score of 25 to Is. The
game tomorrow night will be played
in the basketball cage at the college.
intercollegiate basketball rules will
govern the contest.
$50 far no further developments have
been made in regard to a third game
between the High school and the var
Sity. Whitman is determined to play
intercollegiate rules: The High school
on the other hand has declared that
they will play only A. A. U. rules.
Whitmen men deem the position only
fair to themselves as they have to
play intercollegiate rules in all their
college games this season. The sea-
son is now getting so far along that
with the varsity playing under two
different sets of rules their efficiency
in either one will be lessened.
Whitman has already played two
games under A. A. Z. rules with the
High school, and if the latter want
q third contest to decide the champ
ionship it looks very much as though
the High school team will have to
play intercollegiate rules. The sport
ing fraternity of the city are anxious
to see the two teams get together
again. Both have one game with the
score exceedingly close. A third game
would certainly bring the crowd.

taking another passenger on a IL mile
flight over the fields, and three other
passengers, one at a time on short
flights, Louis Paulhan today estab-
iished new worlds record for hea-
vier than air machines.
No other aviator has taken up so
many passengers during one day and
no other aviator has taken a woman
for high flight over fields and woods
and villages and hungry surf, for more
than 20 miles. Paulhan sailed at an
altitude of from 500 to 1000 feet over
Redondo Beach, Venice-by- the Sea
and other resorts toward Point Fir
min. There were no life preservers
tied to the machine to save them from
death in the waves should they fall.
He made the trip and the other peril
Gus flights of the afternoon with the
ease of a run to your club in a taxi
cab.
The passenger carrying record is
held by Orville Wright, who flew with
Captain Engelhardt for one hour and
So minutes at Berlin last fall, but
Wright did not leave the course,
where he could land at will.

Takes Wife As Passenger.

% mile trip. He had his wife as pas
senger. His ten mile trip was made
with Clifford b. Harmon OF New
York. Besides these he took up Mrs.
Cortlandt F. Bishop, wife of President
Bishop of the Aero Club of America,
Lieutenant Paul Beck of the United
States army signal corps, William
Randolph Hearst, the newspaper pub
Usher, and another newspaper man.
The flights were made under per-
feet atmospheric conditions. Earlier
in the afternoon the wind had been
puffy" and the other aviators had
gone back to their tents after trying
the course for a few laps.
While the crowd waited patiently
in the burning sunshine, Paulhan went
over the parts of his machine. At 1927
o'clock he put on his yellow coat and
helped his wife up to her high perch.
Then ne flew out over the grandstand
to give the big crowd greetings. With
their cheers of delight sounding faint
ly he left the course on his next lap
and headed for the ocean.
In ten minutes he had become blur
against the sunlit clouds that curtain
ed the Pacific. A few minutes later
he disappeared behind a telegraph
wire, as it appeared through the field
glasses. He was again giving an
exhibition of something for which the
world has waited for centuries.

Amendment No. 10

Mr.. Editor:-The voters of Ark
ansas will be called upon at the
coming General Election, to vote
upon what is commonly known as
amendment No. 10, a proposed
amendment to the Constitution of
the State, having for its purpose
the adoption of the principle of the
"Initiative and Referendum" /
have been asked by many for my opin
ion as to the proposed change in the
organic law of the State, whether
it was or not in the interest of the
people that it be adopted. l have
given the matter good deal of
thought, and believing that the
matter is one of great Importance,
and one on which the ideas of diff
ferent people should be freely ex-
pressed, l will now, with your per-
mission, give my views on the sub
ject.
The proposed amendment is as
follows: -"The Legislative powers
of this state shall be vested in a
General Assembly which shall con-
sist of the Senate and House of
Representatives; but the people (OF
EACH MUNICIPALITY, EACH
COUNTY AND OF THE STATE)
reserve to themselves power to pro-
pose laws and amendments to the
constitution, and to enact or reject
the same at the polls, Independent
of the General Assembly; and also
reserve power at their own option
to approve or reject at the polls
any act Of the General Assembly.
have put in parenthesis and in
capital letters that part of the
proposed amendment to which l
will call especial attention later.
Before taking up the q estion of
the merit of the proposed amend
ment, l wish to say that l do not
feel myself bound by any, action
which may have been AIKEN regard
ing the proposed law by the last
Democratic State Convention. |
was member of that con-
ventlon, and one of the Committee
on platform; but the records will
show that myself and one other
member of that committee opposed
the plank which committed the
party to the adoption of the amend
ment. The amendment is a demo-
cratic m easure in the same
sense that it it is republican one,
as the convention of both parties
declared for it; but regardless of
whether any party or all parties
have declared for it, it is the duty
of every intelligent voter to exam
Inc the question on its merits and
vote his own b est judgment,
