idaho WINS IN
DECIDING CONTEST
w. s. c. Basketball Quintet Puts Up
Stubborn Game, But Idaho Noses
Out Victory in Last Half

The biggest crowd ever Assem- bled
in the big w. S. C. gymnasium saw
the Washington State College basket
ball team lose to the University of
Idaho in the crucial game of the
series last Tuesday evening, and in
cidentally saw idaho win the undis-
puted championship of the eastern
part of the Northwest Conference,
which entities them to meet the Uni
yersity of Washington quintet in a
series of three games which will de-
eide the championship of the entire
conference. According to the con-
ference agreement these three games
will be played in the w. S. C. gym
nasium on March 10, 13 and IA.
Previous to Tuesday evenings con-
test Idaho had won three games of
the series, all on her own floor, and
w. S. c. had taken the two games
here. Had w. S. c. won the sixth
game it would have been necessary
to play a seventh game to decide
the eastern conference champion
ship. The defeat of Coach Boilers
five may correctly be charged to the
fact that w. S. C.'s two all-North-
west men, Sampson and Anderson,
had an off night, and did not play
up to their usual high standard.
The passing and guarding of the w.
5. G. men was far below that of the
previous games, although they had
all the best of the first half, Idaho
made "A whirlwind finish and de-
served to win on merit.
Idaho took the lead at the start
but w. s. G. soon overcame the adj
vantage and the first half ended with
score of ] 3 to in favor of the
locals. w. S. C. looked like win
ner, but The improved playing of the
visitors, coupled with decided
slump on the part of the w. S. G.
team and bad break of luck on
field baskets which were not allowed
because the referees whistle sound

ond period and w. s. c. was nosed
out by q bare three points. Loux

Weather Ideal for Fall Sown Grain
and Local Farmers Are Opt
mistiC-FaIl Wheat Coming
on in Fine Shape

Local farmers are optimistic con-
corning the prospects for another
bumper crop of grain for this section
and the weather man is certainly to
be congratulated upon his choice of
weather from the farmers stand
point during the past winter. The
fall of snow during the winter was
heavy enough to protect the fall
sown wheat and barley during the
two or three days of below zero
weather, and yet not heavy enough
to smother out the grain as was the
case last year, especially On the
north slopes. The spring-like wealth
cr of the past 10 days, mingled with
The frequent showers, has melted the
snow and the fall sown grain is show
ing through the ground in good
shape.
The soil is unfrozen and in eX-
cellent condition to be worked ahd
many farmers are preparing for the
spring blowing and narrowing.
Ninety-five per cent of last years
crop has been sold and the grain buy
ers are enjoying an enforced vaca-
ton, only few small sales being re-
ported. Grain quotations have been

Alton Packard, cartoonist and en-
tertainer, will appear in the auditor

one return engagement.
There are five subjects upon
which he is prepared to lecture.
They are Vanity Fair" Uncle
Sans Folks" Funny People, y
Fun and Fancy in Form and
Color In his last appearance here
he took Uncle Sans Folks" as his
subject and great many people still
remember the intensely humorous
talk that he gave and the equally
humorous cartoons he sketched. 1t
is not known yet upon what subject
he will talk on this visit.
Besides being a lecturer and enter
tainer of rare ability, Mr.. Packard
spends much of his spare time In
writing jolly songs and drawing or
iginal cartoons.

lege auditorium on the evening of

A Lady of the leoion.

From the New York Evening Post.
So Sarah Bernhardt at last shares with
Madame Curie the honor of the right to
wear the bit of red ribbon which she has
coveted and clamored for so long. The
fact suggests some curious reflections con-
corning the significance and value OF such
decorations. 1T is not easy to see in what
way a distinction which of late years has
been bestowed with so little discrimina-
ton that it has almost ceased to distin-
guish can add to the fame of women
whose reputation is already worldwide.
Sarah probably desired it chiefly because
it had been so persistently denied her. The
reason for the delay is not obvious. She
merited the recognition 80 or 40 years ago,
ever more conspicuously than she does to-
day. 1t was in the 70s that she reached
the summit of her artistic achievement,
and the memory of her patriotic services
was then fresh. 1t will be interesting to
observe whether her triumph will have
any effect upon the fight which her for
mer associate. Mounet.sully, is making to
secure his election to the institute. He at
least has devoted his whole life to the
cause of his art. Sarah has somewhat
dimmed her artistic renown by yielding
too readily to the temptations of adver-
tisement and the popular demand for the
bizarre. Her genius has not been devoted
to the highest purposes. and much of her
work has been the cause of wonde rather
than admiration. But she has been, and
is, an extraordinary woman and most ac-
complished artist, whose name will lend
a new Importance to the legion in which
it has, at the 18th hour, been enrolled.

COSMOS ETHER, SAYS
BRITISH SCIENTIST
Sir Oliver Lodge Thinks All Mat
ter Is Composed of "Mys-
ferrous Force"

London. Special: Sir oliver Lodge
this Week inauguratea the new lee
ture theater of the Bedford College for
Women with an address ON that Either
of Space" which has been a puzzle for
all philosophers since Newton and
which promises to play a leading part
In scientific discoveries of the future.
We have reason to believe" said
Sir Oliver, that the density OF ether
would be the equivalent of 1000 tons
per cubic millimetre of terrestrial mat
ter when compared With it. 1T is OF
a gossamer-like structure. a mere cob
web. What appears to us to be a solid
is a mere floating aggregate of distant
particles when compared with ether
itself"
There was. Sir Oliver continued. a
mysterious force, which he did not UNI
derstand in the least. the force OF
gravity, which put the force of cohe-
sion, absolutely to shame. This force
was binding he cosmos together. IL
the earth had been held to the moon
oy a metal bar instead by gravity. as it
was held today. that bar ever though of
tle finest drawn steel. would have to
be 400 miles thick in order to avoid be-
ing pulled asunder by the strain. Its
equivalent strength must. said Sir
Oliver, be transmitted by the ether OF
space. Ether. In fact. was far stronger
than n kind Of force that could be
imagined.
What, said Sir Oliver. was the rela-
ton of ether to matter? The ponder>
Gus earth Travelled through ether at the
a of 19 miles a second without any
perceptible friction. BY precise expert
ments which he had conducted, he had
been able to show that there was no
friction whatever between ether and
matter. If there We're any friction. as
Economical motions would sooner or
later come to rest.
There was he continued no me-
chanical connection between ether and
matter. He believed the connection to
be electrical, and he finally expressed
the opinion that it would be proved
later that all matter was composed
of ether.
Sir Oliver concluded by suggesting
that in he study of ether there might
be found an understanding besides
which all present knowledge would
shrink to a pin point.
