 Speaking of the production of oil, he said Ca per cent of the present supply is now drawn from the Uni ted States, to which citizens of oth- CT countries have access on equal terms with our own. Of the future visible production, he added, from 90 to 97 per cent is under control of Great Britain.

BASKET GAME OPENS
SEASON THIS WEEK

Basketball steps on the floor of the
local winter season Friday night. The
schedule of the southwestern Idaho
high school athletic association opens
with two games, Meridian playing
Boise at Boise and Emmett visiting
Caldwell.
Mountain Home, another member of
the association, plays it's first game the
same evening, against Gooding high.
This is not a part of the league sched-
ule but no less interesting because of
the inter- sectional rivalry. The games
here and at Caldwell win give the first
indication of what the local teams
have up their sleeves. They have been
practicing some weeks. The Boise
game will be played in the high school
gymnasium.
Another Boise team, the Up
Dates, goes to PayeAte tonight to play
a town quintet OF all-stars. This is
not scholastic outfit at all, but a
bunch of former college and town men
backed by George Cordes. They won a
fast game from Mountain Home last
week. i

BALD PATES SHOW
SCIENCE AND CAPTURE
V0LLEYBALL TOURNEY

BY scoring 262 points out of pos
sible 270. the Has Beens volley ball
team of the y. M. q. A., so named be-
cause the players are mostly hairless,
won the city tournament last night by
taking the final two games. Science,
team work, strength and endurance
were the features of this team of
CLEAN plated wonders in the yolley ball
arena,
Second in standing came the Insects
with a score of 240, followed by the
Snails, who crawled in third with 224.
By lucky playing in two freak games
the Apes scored PA points, while the
Coolies managed to pile up 210, Freaks
1913 and Eagles 100.
The teams are composed of business
men of Boise and there were 56 who
took part in the tournament. Finding
volley ball too slow q game, the teams
are now planning an indoor baseball
meet with the same players on each
team.
