While 1t is bit early for basket
ball. those who are getting the league
started declare they see every reason
why the sport will be success here.
With eight teams in a circuit a
schedule OF twenty-eight games will
be played. A downtown hall has
been obtained for the engagements.
and plans are under way for training
quarters for teams which at present
are without facilities.
There seems to be little chance OF
the Balloon Section team coming
here for an engagement with the Ma
val Gun Factory. The Balloonists de p
clared that II they got away with the
Tenth Regiment Marines they would
want an engagement with the cham-
pion Naval Gun Factory eleven.
The Tenth team handed the Bat
loonists a 6-to-O defeat at Quantico
yesterday. and it may be that the
Marines will take another crack Al
the Naval Gunners.
Capt. c. F. Dietz, coach of the Ma
rines. was far from satisfied with the
licking he got Thanksgiving Day. u
have no complaints to make on the
defeat" said Dietz. but / must say
that the score would have been very
different il the day had been dry ami
the field fast. The wet. sloppy field
stopped our team completely"
The Marines declared they would
ike to get a chance at the Gunners
again after they played the Balloon
team.
Tomorrow the champion Naval Gun
Medical School eleven. The Gunners
got away with a to o score against
the Medicos in the early part of the
season. Tomorrow's game is expected
to be one of the hardest fought of the
season.
The Medicos. while they have been
without a contest for three weeks,
have been putting in some hard licks
in preparation for the engagement.
But two games in the service
league have found the winning team
scoring more than two touchdownS.
which is an indication of the even
ness of competition. The Marines,
of QuantiCu. scored - points against
the Seaman Gunners and the Naval
tiunnerS got - points OH the Seaman
GunneTs. All OF the remaining games
have been won by a single touch
down.
II is not unlikely that Camp Hum |
phreys will meet the Army MedicOs |
next Camp Humphreys players are !!
anxious to get chance 1T Lieuten- /
ant Cons crew, especially after the /
MediCos got second crack at the /
Naval GUnnerS.
Officials have been selected for to-
game as follows: Bryan
Morse. referee; Carl Metzler. umpire:
Charles WahOO. lineSman.t Morse and /
Nctzler have worked before. but Wa
moo Is newcomer. Several years
ago WahOo was one of Glen Warmers
mainstays on the Carlisle Indian
eleven. His real name is Guyon. and
he was assistant coach to Johnny
Ieisman at Georgia Tech last year
His brother. Joe Guyon. played with

YOU CAN HELP

Preparations are being made for the
commencement next week of drive
for funds Of the relief of the destitute
and stricken women and children Of
Armenia and Persia. A telegram
Wednesday to the State Committee at
Portland in charge Of this work states
that there are thousands of women and
children starving to death, that the
people are eating dead animals and
that women are abandoning their In
fants. The situation is 80 appalling
that President Wilson has issued an
urgent appeal to the American people
to assist in every way possible.
The quota allotted to Oregon is
$3.50, 100000 and to Lincoln County
100000. Ira Wade has been appointed
County Chairman and is now arrang.
ing for the drive. Every man, woman
and child in Lincoln County that can
possibly do so should contribute to
this fund. The conditions In these
stricken countries as SO terrible that
only prompt financial assistance can
save thousands OF women and children
from death by starvation.

SiLETZ

Mrs. Robert DePoe's piano musicale
class gave an entertainment at the
Government school building Friday
evening at which time Lieutenant
Porter and his soldier boys were guests
OF honor. 1t was very pleasing and
patriotic entertainment. II there
were any German sympathizers present
and don't think they were-l am
sure they could not feel at home.
This egort Of the Kaiser to overthrow
and destroy the civilization of the
world has no sympathy from any true
American. During Washington and
Lincoln's day II anyone betrayed his
country to the enemy It was treason
and treason was punished with death.
Some siIty-hve U. S. soldiers are
now comfortably located In their bar
racks at Siletz. To hear each morning
the reveille and the sound Of the tramp
of the soldier boys makes the place
look very much like a military post.
The boys are detailed everyday to do
various kinds OF work. Some 60 to
drive logs down the Siletz river to the
mill to be sawed up into airplane lum-
ber and others to help plank the roads
80 the timber can be taken to Toledo
to be sawed up into lumber suitable
for airplane material and shipped east
where It u manufactured into air
planesS 1t Is a picnic to drive logs
down the river. Sometimes they hang
on the rifles and against the brush and
the boys have to get out in the ice
cold water and roll them off. Some
times they are up to their armpits In
the water and like true soldiers they
don't complain. The soldiers think 81
letz is one of the most beautiful
places they ever saw. So much greer
vegetation, green timber, pure air ant
clear water tumbling down the him
from a thousand springs makes 1t ont
Of the most healthy and choice spot!
on earth. But little sickness among
the soldiers and what there is seems
to be Of mild character.

COULDN'T PAY

Some person who has more time to
give to figuring than he has to give
to the war has discovered that II
Adam had put away one War Saving
Stamp. with interest at per cent,
compounded every three months, the
world would not be able to pay that
sum today.
The fact that old Adam didn't save,
however. should not deter Toledoites
in resolve to get into the War Saw
ings wagon now. Don't let the Kaiser
profit by your making the same mis-
take that Adam did.
