BADGER SQUAD
SEESANOTHER
UNBEATEN YEAR
wisconsin Basket Shooters Prepare
for Clean Sweep of Conference
Teams.

! Madison, Wis, Dec ga clean
sweep. of the western conference is
expected here from the University
of Wisconsin basketball team
which will open its regular season
during the first week in January.
With a strong squad of regulars,
the Badgers are already prepared
TO go against the stronger confer
ence teams in mid-season condi-
ton.
DR.. W. E. Meanwel1 has been
coaching the men since the open
ing of school, and with two addi-
tons from the football team, has
the squad rounded into shape, and
the first string lineup practically
decided. Many here expect that
he will turn out another of his IN
beaten QuintetS.
Captain c. F. Ceaser and W. a.
Taylor, captain last year, are sta
toned at the forward positions.
Both men are in their third year
of competition, with Taylor at the
head of the conference in scoring
last season. Ceaser has played for
two seasons at center and guard.
but fills in at forward like vet
eran. He is consistent player
who seldom attempts to be spectac-
ular.
Center again will be the weak
point in the Wisconsin lineup.
Here, however, Johnson, a fresh
man player of last year, is filling
in we'll Gibson, another freshman
player of last year, is an aspirart
who will probably alternate with |
Johnson, but without the agrees |
siveness and shooting ability.
Rollie Williams. football star, is |
on the basketball floor !
His work as running guard is spec
tacular because of his floor work |
He is said to be unrivaIIed in the |
history of basketball at Wisconsin !
for his handling of the bali, and |
his pivoting ability
With Williams at guard will be
either Gustav Teben, end on the
football team, or R. J. Irish. Both
men are experienced, TebeIl hay

THREE-EYE OR
NOTHING, SAYS
PREXY or ROx
Would Tear Down Park and Quit
for Good, II 0usted, Ira Bell
Declares.
BY ]. i. HUGHES.

To be or nor to be, a member
OF the Three-Eye league-that is
the question. PRESIDENT Ira Bell OF
the Rockford baseball club. is quot
ed in the Rockford Morning Star
as saying his city is either going
to be represented in the Three-Eye
circuit or quit baseball for keeps.
Bell threatens TO invoke the civil
courts to maintain Rockford's fran
chise IL Al Tearney or any of his
cohorts attempt TO slip something
over. He bases his position on
the fact that two years ago the
clubs agreed TO stick through thick
and thin for fiye years.
According to Bell, if that doesn't
hold up Rockford VII turn its
back on organized baseball. 1t
will not even consider putting a
team in any other league. he says.
The ball park will be torn down
and prepared for a residence site.
The Rockford prexy makes the
statement that Tearney gave him
assurance at the meeting of t1e
minors IN Buffalo recently, that no
steps against either Moline or
Rockford had been thought of even
From various sources, however, il
has been reported that Bell was the
one who started the rumors of |

two cities, and that Rockford was
prepared to help the plans along.
In the meantime President War
rem Giles of the Moline team, is
awaiting some word from Tearney
in regard 70 the truth or falsity of
reports that Joe Dunn, deposed
manager of the Bloomington club,
is scouting through Indiana for
prospective cities 10 take tn places
of the Plows and the Rox.
Giles has not wavered from his
that Moline will not
cause a rumpus if it is not want
ed. Giles prefers the Three
Eye, at least for another sea
son, but he doesn't consider it wor-
thy of fighting for Neither is he
so rash as to say Moline will have
Three-Eye bail or nothing On
the contrary, Giles would be ready
to enter into negotiations for No
lines affiliatio1 with the proposed
new circuit in this section of the
country if shown his city isn't
wanted in the Tri-Optic.
From reliable source, it is learn
ed sentiment of Moline fandom
seems to favor a change. Plow
boosters are said to have had their
fill of the squabbles characterizing
the Three-Eye and would welcome
Mol'ne's entrance into another cir
cult.

 Assistants Are Named
 Two assistant Commissioners ot Health were also named:
 Dr. w. H. Chase, of Cordova, for the Third Division, to succeed Dr. w w. Council, who, like Dr. Sloane, holds a commission as assistant sur geon in the Public Health Service and is ineligible under the depart ments ruling
 Dr. J. A. Sutherland, of Fairbanks for the Fourth Division, reappointtd
 A successor of Dr. Curtis Welch, of Nome, is yet to be named and the position is temporarily vacant Dr. Welch is ineligible in holding gov ernment position.
 Mrs. SheeIor to Be Paid In connection with the reorgani7a. tion of the commission the Governor directed that a warrant be issued ill favor of Mrs Edith Sheelor for pay ment to her out of the emer gency ap propflatlon, the sum of $30o.S3 for fservices to the commission for a period of two months. and which matter has been in litigation. The GaKernor assumes full responsibility ! for this payment. It establishes no precedent. In failing to make an ap- prOpriation for the office exp snses of the Commissioner of Health the Governor assumes that the Leg sla- ture of 1921 wished to estOp or cur tail such expenditures. Therefore. under normal conditions, there will be no such outlay But in any am- ergency that may arise affecting health conditions in the Territory. the Governor will not hesitate to em- ploy the emergency appropriation to meet any necessary expenditures in- cident thereto.

FIRST WIRELESS
 STATION OF BIC :.
 CHAIN ERECTED
British Empire Plans Linking Up of All Provinces
 by Radio Stations.

LONDON. Sept. 21-Postmastei General Kellaway has just opened al Leatield, OXfordshire, the first sta tion in the Imperial wireless chain which. when completed, will link uI almost every part of the British Empire.
 The Leatield. station, which has been designed enjrely by thes pos, office wifi communicate with the corresponding station at Abu Zabal near Cairo. This station is expected to be completed in three months It will also be used for communica. tion with Mesoptamia and probably y broadcasting news to India.s
 Leafield and Abu Zabal will form the first pair of series of four sta tions, the third being in East Africa and the fourth in South Africa
 The first message sent from the station, as part of the opening cere- mony, was message of greeting to .ail British and to all European and other foreign wireless stations within range. That to British sta tions expressed the wish that the station would help to knit still closer the bonds which bind to- Gether the differnt parts of the Elm pire. That to the other stations concluded with the wish that the development of wireless communica- ton will help to knit still closer the bonds of unity which bind the Brit .ish Empire to all other states"
 Within half an hour replies were received from Malta, Paris, Chris tiania, Posen. Prague. Denmark; Budapest Rome and Berlin.
 MT. Kellaway said in an address that at the imperial conference groat interest was taken by Prime Minister Lloyd George in the possf. bilifies of wireless .ftelephony. If those possibilities could be realized they might yet have Premier Hughes in Melbourne talking to Mir. Lloyd George i'll Downing Street.

PUTS FOOT DOWN HARD
 ON CRAWL AND STRUT

PITTSBURGH, Sept '2i- Scandal ized by the introduction of sugges tive pastures on the ballroom floor, the social committee of the fashion able St Clair Country Club has is sued formal edict prohibiting all forms of dancing that offend good taste and declaring that violators twill be stopped on the floor"
 The club. whose membership is composed largely of social leaders in the South Hills district, holds regu- lar Saturday night dances, and these have been especially popular with the younger members and their sons and daughters. The club has always rrided itself on it's high moral tone ana it's exclusion of vulgarities. On this account mothers permitted daughters unusual freedom in attend ing the dances. So secure did the management feel that there was some relaxation in the rigidness2 of supervision
 It seems that daring devOtees of modern dances took advantage of tl.is let-up in surveillance, and lndul- gence in questionable giratiOns spread rapidly This situation came as shock to the. social committee when they personally confirmed the reports.
 Each member of the club has re- ceived this announcement:
 "Only dignified dancing will oe permitted at the dances. Some Cf the sons and daughters of some of the members. and their guests, have been indulging in dances that are taboo at the club. Cheek dancing. camel walks, struts. crawls and such like are not allowed. and persons !n dulging in them will be stopped right on the floor If your family or guests have been violating this rule. you will save them and the commit tee embarrassment by showing them this notice"
