for Soldier Dead on May 80.

Moscow, Feb. 15.-The varsity still
tops the dope sheet in the northwest
conference and bids fair to hold its
lead. The Campbell Moe Hunter com
bination on the basket end of the floor
seems to easily pass the ball around
any similar trio yet encountered. and
Lindley, with Brigham and Romig al
ternating, holding down the guard po-
sitions, form wall that takes real
basketball quintet to break.
Whitman college played return two
round bout at Moscow, Friday and Sat
urday nights. Washington State col

mating four game series here Monday
night.
MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Memorial services honoring 1daho's
May 80 This rather distant date has
been decided upon in view of the fact
that time must be given the people in
charge to procure all the necessary data
for the memorial booklet, which is, to
be published. The booklet will con-
tain the names, photographs and all
procurable interesting facts of their
lives. 1t will include not only the
names of men killed in France, but also
the men who died in any training camp
or S. A. T. c.
The Gem of the Mountains" ques-
ton again pops up, this time before the
A. 8. u. /. The junior class was not
willing to undertake the task, and upon
popular demand the A. S. u. /. took Il
up, with the result that a book will
probably be issued.
BASKETBALL TOURNEY,
High school basketball will occupy
the athletic interest here March IL and
II, when the second annual state tour
ney will be staged. The roundup will
be operated on the same basis as last
year, with open enrolment to North
Idaho teams, and sectional winners
from the southern hoopers. Coach
Bleamaster and his assistants are at
work on the necessary details. The
visiting teams will be well entertained,
special preparations being made. The
fraternities will aid in housing the
young pill Fingers.
The financial end of the tourney Will
be met in the same way as last year,
the southern teams to be guaranteed
certain amount of expense money. Last
year a very successful cleanup was
made on the attendance. Many teams
have signified their intention of APP
nearing on the scene. Two loving cups
will be given for the winning quintet,
and the team making the best all-round
appearance.
"sApLY OUT OF LUCK"
"Sadly out Of luck" is the only con-
ISOLATION given to the artillery man
who gets killed in war, says Talbot
Jennings, lieutenant in the artillery
service, recently returned from over
years service in France. He Is an ex-
10 man, of Nampa. He adds that the
danger of the artillery man getting
killed in war Is comparatively small
compared to that of the infantry man.
= Lieutenant Jennings gave very in
teresting talk son his experiences to
the men of the r. o. T. c.
NEW ~" DEDICATED.
The new Y. M. c. A. hut was .ded-
icated last Sunday, an appropriate pro-
gram being given by representative
men and women of university activi-
ties. The ideals, purposes and main
principles of the organization were set
forth in talks by Secretary CLANCY,
Dean Permeal French, President Lind
ley seemed to strike the keynote of
the situation when he stated that this
organization, with its social good will
purpose, was accomplishing it through
a means of religion stripped to real
ity."
This building, started under war con-
ditions, was completed by the national
war work council, in view of the fact
that Hits need would be greater In
the period of reconstruction than in the
period of war itself"
SOPHOMORE FRoLic.
The sophomores staged their annual
Sophomore frolic" last night In the

ported some new ideas in dance par
ties, and probably had the idea- of
clipping one over" on the other class
dances. Whether they succeeded Is a
question to be answered by the differ
emit classes themselves. In all prob
ability thcre would be four different
answers.
