TINE TO "PLAY BALL"
The entire membership of the
lower house Of the Montana leg
islature voted for the following
resolution on Saturday:

THAT United States District At
.,torney Z. X. Wheeler is requested
Immediately to reinstate the action
against A. ]. Just and prosecute
him and all other persons who are
vioiators Of the espionage act"
OF course, if Wheeler had done
his duty, if he had appealed the
Just case, if he had prosecuted
the violators of the espionage act,
this reminder of his dereliction
would not have been necessary.
So far as we know, this is the
first instance in Montana when a
house of the legislature, by a
unanimous vote, has called upon
a federal office holder to perform
a neglected duty.
Wheeler probably will say that
he is the victim of ''big business
that the IS members of the house,
including the members of the
Equity, are tools Of the copper
company, acting under orders to
complete his ruin.
We are willing to leave that
decision to the people of Montana.
Meanwhile we suggest that the
attorney general of the United
States government take this mat
ter in hand. Montana wants a
federal prosecutor who will pros
ecute and does not want any fur

NEW WORKERS LOSE TO
M|DSH|PMEN, 2S TO "A
Academy Men Win Basketball
Game, Regarded As Seasons
Hardest Contest
GET LEAD AND HOLD IT

This seasons basketball five OF the
Naval Academy met real test Satur-
day afternoon when it defeated City
College of New York by 2S to IA. Teams
have been known TO run up wonderful
scores. against comparatively weak
opponents, and go to pieces when fac
ing real classy rivals. The New York
ers were far stronger than any of the
other teams which the Navy lads have
met this year, but they did not stop
their victorious onset The midship-
men took the lead in the first few min
utes of the game and maintained il to
the last
The visitors passed most cleverly,
and really showed something new in
that line of work. However, the mid
shipmen covered so completely, that
their defense could not be penetrated
and City college resorted to long shots
during the whole of the first period.
But one of these went home-a- long
side shot by Fliegel
The midshipmen's first points came
in a bunch Of four. Deringer netted
the ball in spite of the fact that New
Yorker was holding him, and Referee
Ulrich awarded two tries from the
foul line for the offense Farwell drop
ped the ball in both times. The Navy
lads sprang to a commanding lead
promptly, the score being as bad as IL
to at one time. The half ended Is
to 5.
The visitors played on somewhat
more even terms in the second period
In particularly, Schmidt, the center
played brilliantly, and made his teams
score look much more respectable by
tossing four field goals Projan also
played good game. both defensiyely
and in feeding the ball oSchmidt.
The midshipmen also helped their
score along by eight successful tosses
from the foul line, though they had
just twice this number Of chances. The
visitors held a great deal, and Referee
Ulrich proved very sharp-eyed. The
game was not rough one, in the sense
of intentional roughness. LIN fact,
most of the visitors holding was be-
cause they had to or go down in front
of the midshipmen's powerful charg-
ing. One little fellow-the New York
ers averaged rather short-happened
to be on Deringer's back when the lat
ter Strengthened up, and he had to hold
on or fall on his head, and the armory
floor it wooden blocks in concrete, and
is harder than most heads.
This superior height of the midship-
men was big factor in their favor, as
was their speed, good shooting and
fine team play. Deringer nearly al
ways got the jump and started his
team with the ball 1t was the most
decisive defeat the midshipmen have
ever inflicted upon the New Workers.,
who are conceded to be one of the
best teams in the country and it was
the fifth straight triumph for the
home team.
