Action Blow
To Bearcats
By Spike

Action of the Northwest Inter
collegiate conference in repeating
the conference rule allowing col
leges having less than 200 male
students to play freshmen on
teams participating in conference
athletic contests is a serious blow
to Willamette university.
Abolition Of the rule practical
ly means that Willamette may
have to abandon all conference
athletics with the exception of
basketball, in which the small
size of the teams may enable the
Bearcats to nut out creditable
teams composed of students in the
upper classes.
With its small student body
Willamette has had to rely large
ly upon it's freshmen to make up
the baseball and football teams,
full half of the members of the
football team for the season just
passed being first year men.
The tentative football schedule
of the Bearcats for the 1922 sea-
son as arranged by Coach Boh-
Ter at the Portland conference
meeting, states the locals for two
conference games, however, indi-
eating that Boiler intends to try
to play conference football de-
spite the adverse ruling.
The two games scheduled are
with the University of Oregon at
Eugene, October 7, and with Whit
man college, at Walla Walla, NO

FRESHMAN
RULE HUB
OF BATTLE
Eligibility of First
Year Students For
Athletics Worries
Conference Heads

Portland, Or, Dec. 8. - The
Northwest Intercollegiate confer
ence today decided that neither
Whitman college nor Willamette
university should be permitted to
use freshmen on their varsity
teams next year, but the question
will be brought up again at the
next annual meeting of the con-
ference, which will be held In
December, 1922.
Portland, Or, Dec. 9-Graduate
managers and coaches of Pacific
coast colleges got together today
to consider schedules of athletic
events, and the Northwest confer
ence which met yesterday also
continued in session.
The Northwest conference was
to decide on the question of fresh
men in football, which was raised
yesterday by Whitman college and
which caused a spirited debate.
Willamette Would Lose.
The Northwest conference has a
rule that a college having fewer
than 200 male students may play
freshman on its varsity athletic
teams. Whitman, with 1872 male
students registered, now comes
under that rule, and SO does VIII
lamette. Idaho and Montana,
which both were defeated by
Whitman expects next year to be
a little above the zoe mark, SO
will not be eligible to play fresh
men under the rule.
Whitman asked that the rule be
amended to permit her to continue
to play freshmen, but Idaho and
Montana were opposed. They said
it would give Whitman a good ar
gument for getting football play
ers to attend the school, while
whitman contended that with so
much smaller a student body than
the other colleges, it was only fair
to even things up and let her play
the freshmen.
Scholarship Rule Eased.
The Northwest conference voted
to reduce scholarship requirements
for intercollegiate athletics from
the present twelve hour credits to
two-thirds of the number Of cred
its carried by the student, The
reason for reducing the minimum
from 10 hours is that most col
leges now have nothing but five
hour courses.

FOUND ANGLING GOOD SPORT
Many Notables Have Been pevotess
Of Sport ImmortaIIxed BY
Sir lxaak Walton.

When President Harding prepared
himself for the responsibilities of his
great office By spending a few weeks
fishing In Florida he added one more
to the long list Of notables who have
been devotees Of that sport. 1t Is re-
corded that Noah was not only a good
boatman, but n sklllful angler as well.
Long before the flood, and far away
In the mists Of time, there Is a Baby
lonian legend that Bslus, son Of Nim-
rod, discovered fishing. The first au-
thentic record Of angling appears when
the Lord asks Job: Cant thou taIe
out fish with hook?' The great
Homer immortallzes the art in the
'Iliad' and odyssey" stating that
godlike men, when plnched for dinner
fished with crooked hooks, and even
dived for oysters 1t was Plato, the
Greek philosopher. who once said:
There is nothing In angling that is
noble, or daring. or requiring skill"
Charlemagne, who dominated west
ern Europe in the eighth century, ad-
vised his subjects to take up the art
OF angling IN order to be content. BE
cause said he, "I have never yet
known an angler who was melan-
choly."
But the greatest fisherman and phil
Osopher Of modern times is undoubted-
ly Sir Izaak Walton. In his Com
pleat Angler" he indicates the prog
ress Of fishing. particularly on lur-
ing trout. He had a different color
ed fly for every month in the year.
His books are source Of informa-
tion for all, and It has been said that
In them a child may wade and the
tallest giant swim. Angling" said
Izaak, Is like mathematics, In that
II can never be fully learned, at least
not so fully but that there will always

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Home gardens were bOons to thou
sands Of families in the United States
last season, and the garden habit
seems to have become fixed with a
large number Of persons.
In most sections the late fall gar
dens were killed by frost and In many
cases the debris still litters the
ground.
Bean poles and tomato stakes, with
their burden of frosted vines, are top
pied over and give the garden an un-
kempt and ragged appearance. Aside
from the esthetic influence Of clean
ing up the garden, 1t Is important that
all rubbish and dead plants be re-
moved and burned to protect the crops
Of next season from the insects and
disease spores which infest the debris.
A few hours Of work In the garden
now will save serious losses another
year. Gather the bean poles, tomato
stakes, and any removable trellises or
wires, store the good ones until they
are again needed; then pull, rake to-
gether, and burn all the dead vines
and plants left in the garden. If these
are too wet or green to burn, they
may be gathered in small piles for a
few days to dry and then piled to-
gether and burned.
Spread Manure.
Heavy clay soils should be broken
up and left rough and lumpy before
applying the manure. The kind Of
manure to use for this purpose Is not
important, so long as 1t Is not filled
with weed seeds or trash OF any kind.
Manure In which straw has been used
for bedding can be taken direct from
the stable and spread on the garden
as a surface cover during the winter,
the rough part being either plowed un-
der in the spring or raked off and put
In the compost heap.
Protecting Young Trees.
Experienced gardeners keep a COM
post heap going In one corner of the
garden from one years end to an
other, and all surplus manure and sod
are placed in II. AS q consequence,
these gardeners always have a supply
Of good loan for preparing special
plant beds or top-dressing piece Of

other intensive crop.

Prisoners Who Receive Aims.

Whatever may be the fate of politl-
cal prisoners in Portugal, ordinary Of
tenders have pretty easy time of It..
The windows of the lowest tiers Of
prison cells are often quite close to
the ground, and they are frequently
situated near some public highway.
Prisoners are permitted to ask aims of
passers by. Where the windows of
the cells are high above the ground
the occupants let down bags or small
tins by means of long pieces of string
or cord, and there is one prison In

apple trees are lost every winter, In
certain sections, from being gnawed
by field mice and rabbits. AS rule,
the mice work just at the surface Of
the ground, especially where grass
and rubbish Is left around the roots
Of the trees. Rabbits are more likely
to gnaw the bark from the trunk
above the ground especially while
there Is a deep snow and they are
prevented from getting green food on
the ground. For this reason the pro-
tectOrs should extend at least two
feet above ground and two inches un-
der ground.
Fruit trees that have borne during
the last year should be gone over, and
all mummified fruits removed and
burned Any suckers or shoots which
have grown up from the roots or on
the trunk Of the trees should be
trimmed off, 1t also Is good plan to
give the trees thorough spraying
