FAIR SHARE GRANTED
Insurgent Representation on
Senate Committees.
PEACEFUL CAUCUS is HELD
Better Feeling Between Regulars and
Progressives Insured by Action
Taken Yesterday Afternoon.

Better feeling and closer working re-
lations between the republican regulars
and insurgents in the Senate have been
practically insured by the action Of the
republican caucus yesterday afternoon
To placate the progressives the regu-
lars have generally conceded them one
fourth Of the republican representation on
the important committees. The regulars
don't put it that way-they say they will
treat the "progressives'' individually as
republicans and give each the committee
assignments and patronage to which Sc
niority entitled each. The 'progressives''
say they are twelve out of the fifty re-
publicans in the Senate and are therefore
entitled to one-fourth of the republican
privileges. Whichever way it is put, 1t
means that the progressives are going to
be in positions of power and influence
during the Congress which began yester-
day.
The Progressives.
The senator's who have designated
themselves as "progressives" are Borah
Of Idaho. Bourne of Oregon, Bristow OF
Kansas. Brown Of Nebraska, Clapp of
Minnesota. Crawford Of South Dakota,
Cummins of Iowa, Dixon of Montana,
Gronna OF North Dakota, La Toilette of
Wisconsin, Poindexter Of Washington and
Works Of California.
It is pretty definitely determined, even
according to the rule laid down by the
regulars, that Senator Clapp will get the
craftsmanship of the committee on inter-
state commerce and that Senator Bourne
will get the craftsmanship Of the commit
tee on post offices. Senator La Toilette
will get membership en- the finance COM
mittee and will either retain the census
craftsmanship or get the Craftsmanship
of immigration. Senator Cummins will
also get a place on finance and will re-
tain the Craftsmanship of the committee
on civil service. Senator Brown, besides
retaining the craftsmanship Of patents,
will probably get a place On judiciary.
Places Given Progressives.
These assignments mean that the pro.
gressives will have their quota on the
committees on finance, interstate com.
merce, judiciary and post offices. On
finance will be La Toilette and Cummins
on interstate commerce, Clapp and Cum.
Minis: on judiciary, Borah and Brown,
and on post offices, Bourne and Bristow.
On appropriations the progressives will
probably get one and possibly two places.

The selection OF an al-star Eastern inter-
COLLEGIATE basketball team this year is more
difficult than il has ever been before,
chiefly because OF the fact that individual
brillancy among the players was subordi-
mated IN almost every instance to the work
OF the team The season showed beyond
doubt that the day of the individual in bas-
ketball has passed. and although now and
then a star player will come 70 tho front.
henceforth more attention will be paid to
the playing Of the combination than has
been the case IN the past.
Another point that the season Jus. closed
has established is that a championship
team does not have 70 play rough or dirty
basketball in order 10 win games. In fact.
It has been noticeable in the league series
that tho team that has done the most foul
ing. whether technical or personal. has
been beaten.

class by himself from the beginning Of the
season for his offensive and defensive work

part in the championship series. hiendl Is
a unanimous choice for the all-star team
and without doubt should be captain. for
