Though three members of the uni
versity basketball team. Captain sand
erson, Richey Newman, and Floyd
Eahart, were declared ineligible to
compete in the Bruin- Aggie games to-
morrow and Saturday, by the universe
ty eligibility committee, there is u
possibility that two, and even all Of
the men will clear themselves in time
to accompany the Bruins on their trip
to Bozeman tonight.
Unless these men can go along, the
chances of the Bruins are practically
nil.
If the three men are cleared in time
to 60 along, Coach Nissen will take
the following men to Bozeman: john
son. Newman and Larkin, forwards;
McQuarrie, center; Sanderson, Jones'
Eahart and Sailor, guards.
The games at Rozeman will be the
last Of the state championship series

ss The Missoula County High school
basketball team has closed its season.
and the members Of the squad Rave
slowed away their toys until another
season rolls around. While tho season
cannot be recorded as a successful one,
due to the failure Of the Garden city
five to qualify for the state tourna-
ment at Bozennan, the record made -
considered satisfactory when all con-
ditions are taken into consideration.
The scholastics started the season
with three veterans in the lineup, and
the team went along at q good pace at
the beginning Of the year, winning
three straight games on foreign FLOORS
by lopsided scores. Tho only home
game was played against sBeaverhcad
high school and the Missoula team lost
In the last minutes of play after a
desperate battle. Handicapped by the
loss Of their veteran guard. Crouch,
the team lost two games at Helena
and Townsend. The Garden city team
lost a chance to go to the state tour
nament by dropping the final district
tourney battle to Anaconda by one
point.
Track Team, Now.
An attempt was made go get q game
with either Helena or Anaconda for
Saturday night, but as neither Of these
teams would play here, it was decided
to disband the team, and from now on
the scholastics will turn their atten-
ton toward developing, Il track team
to uphold the honors won by the Gar
den city track teams during the last
two years.

The Times Unions literary critic
saw a part of Thos. Gray's "ElegT
written in country churchyard,,
quoted in the Greenville News, didn't
like the English, and proceeded to crit
icize the poem thusly. "But there IS
so much merit in this little sample OF
Mr.. Gray's writing that we hope he
will take the time to polish his pro-
ductions. If he would do this we be-
lieve he would become known as one
of our leading poets" Again this
profound Times Union critic says:
at is probable that Mr.. Gray, wheth-
er member of the staff of the News
or not, is member of the staff OF
some newspaper Newspaper men
are compelled to write rapidly. They
dash off what they write and send 1t
in without revision" This is almost
too funny! The Times Union trying
to correct the English of classic.
Tommy Gray NAV have been a news,

this by his biographers. All that

and philosophy, and that his publish.

wild Cat Runs Amuck.

"And He said unto them the
Pharisees), what man snail inert
be among you, that shall nave one
sheep and if 1t shall fall INTO
MT on the Sabbath day, will ne
hot n law hold on it.and lift it out
Kew s. Grady, pastor of the Metho-
dist church, looked up from a piate
Of hot cakes at breakfast last sun
Sav morning and through the WINDOW
OF his warm and cozy dining roohi'
saw big wild cat crouched on ms
SSn house. The cat was licking his
coat in the orthodox feline manner
and then it looked up also and saw the
nastor. The cat blinked at the DO
nine: some might say he was making
faces. but he only blinked. Perhaps
he had heard that the good pastor was
martial to Cats. Anyway he dldnt
move-just sat and blinked.
To say the pastor was started,
doesn't express it. He knew 1t WASH I
of domestic breed. Then his glance
fell to the interior of his chicken
house, and he was even more startiea
to see several of his favorite chick
ems LAYING on the floor, dead. .,
It occurred to Mr.. Grady that this
was Fred Cochrane's pet wild cat and
that it had in some way escaped from
his cage. He telephoned the Coch-
rane residence. Morris Cochrane
hadn't breakfasted. He had worked
late the night before taking care Oh
his Christmas trade and had gone
home tired. But he said he would
come down Immediately, if not sooner;
He came, saw the dead chickens and
that there was no way of capturing
the cat alive.s
In the meantime the cat had jumped
down from the hen house and dlved
under the parsonage. Mr.. Grady Sc
cured his gun, spied the cat under
the house and then pumped some buck
shot into his vitals. Dead cat.
Ministers of the gospel don't OTTER
90 cunning on Sundays, but this was
different. His chickens had faller
into a pit, and he went after the PIT
on the Sabbath dav, for which ac'
he felt that he had scriptural justl
fcation. The men in the text were
admonished that they might lift live
sheep out of a pit on the Sabbath il
order to save life of the sheep Mr.
Gradys sheep were chickens: they nae
already succumed to the pit, so Mr.
Grady went after the nit and rendered
If harmless for other innocent frying
sized chickens and hens who can b.
induced to lay eggs at 60 cents pc
dozen as war measure. 1t was TN
same principle of humanity. He tolt
his congregation about it just befor'
the sermon that morning. but h
didn't have to apologize, for Their
were no Pharisees in attendance tha
morning.
Someone without the fear of CO.
ir his heart had opened the door o
the cage in the night and liberate
the cat.
