EIGHT HIGH SCHOOL
TEAMS WILL COMPETE
Eastern Washington Divided Into
Six Districts, and Winners of
Each District Will Play
at w. s. &.

The Second Annual Interscholastic
Basket Ball Tournament held by the
Washington State College will be
held in the gymnasium here on Fri
day and Saturday, March 6 and Z,
and according to present plans will
be even a greater success than last
year, as teams will come from the
entire eastern half of the state. This
will effectually settle the uestion Of
superiority among the prep teams
east OF the mountains and will prove
an immense advertisement for the
college.
Transportation, board and lCdg-
ing will be furnished for seven men
from each team who are to be en-
tered and certified to at least a
week before the meet. Last year
the teams were housed at various
fraternity houses, Ferry Hall, and
private boarding clubs and it is pos
sible that this system will be fol-
lowed this year, at least as far as
lodging is concerned, though it is
possible that the visitors will be
given meals elsewhere at the ex-
pense of the tournament manage
ment.
Since one and third fare has
been secured on all railways, it is
probable that great many visitors
will accompany the teams to Pull
man.
The eastern half of the state has
been divided into six districts and
the best teams in each district will
be chosen to come to the tourna-
ment. Last year the teams were
chosen by comparative records and
there was some little dissatisfaction
IN one or two cases which will be
oLviated this year. The choosing OF
the teams is left to the county super.
intendents or the coaches of the vari-
Gus teams concerned and only il
case these can not agree is the team
picked by the committee in charge
OF the tournament.
Ten teams were here last year
but only eight will be invited this
year, as last year there were really
too many teams to handle in two
days. Seven games in all must be
Played, probably two each afternoon
and evening except the final evening
when the championship game will be
played. intercollegiate basket bal
rules will govern the contest, ana
two big silver trophy cups will be
given to the winners of first anC
second places in the tournam ent
The committee in charge of the at
fair is composed OF Coaches Boiler
and Bender and Professor Kreager
The districts contain the followinf
schools and teams will be chosen
from them as follows:
District No. 1.-Two teams-Spo
kane County: Lewis and Clark
North Central, Hillyard, Cheney
Medical Lake, Rockford, Latah
Waverly, and Deer Park. Pent
d'oreille County: Newport.

NJ. d. Reynolds says
This is to certify that l have been
great sufferer from Rheumatism
since 1894. Contracted the disease
while working with a snow pillow on
the railroad. For several years l
have been obliged to use crutches a
great part of the time. Having used
three boxes of the Meritol Rheuma-
tism Powders, l have thrown away
the crutches and am now almost
fully recovered. 1t certainly has
done wonders for me and I heartily
recommend it. M. d. Reynolds.

believe Battle At
SALTILLO IS ON
ny \. &. PARKE,

United Press Stan correspondent
JUAREZ, Mex, May 19.-The bat
Tie OF Saltillo Is believed TO be on to-
day. General villa has established a
strict censorship. Not a single mes
sage has been received from cores
pondents at the front since early yes
terday. When the battle of Torreon
was ordered, General villa instructed
his censors to hold up all press mat
Ter until the fighting had ceased. He
is believed to be following the same
tactics now.
The last news from the front re-
ported advancing COnstitutionalists
sweeping in the Federal outposts,
with almost hourly skirmishing.
The most significant bit of news re-
ceived today was that General Manuel
Chao, deposed as military governor of
chihuahua state by General villa, Is
in Parral, Chihuahua, IN conference
with General Luis Herrera, military
commander of that section. Chao
was supposed TO be at Saltillo. where
villa ordered him after threatening
his execution, according to reports.
For several days, rumors have been
current that Villas enemies within
the Consututionalist ranks were plot
ting TO overthrow him after the battle
OF Saltillo. The story was that Cen
eral Maclovio Herrera, was to be
placed at the head of the army in
the march on Mexico City, depriving
villa Of the prestige to be gained by
capturing the capital city and elmin-
