SCHEDULE
TRIP TO FEATURE
FIVE WILL HAVE STRENUOUS
JAUNT THROUGH THE LAND OF
COTTON

In putting a basketball team on the
| noor this season, after an absence of
several years, Western Maryland Col
lege has made up one of the hardest
schedules it ever attempted in this
sport and hopes to make a real fight
tor honors in the collegiate field.

ed by Manager Meyls and three more
contests are pending, those with Gal
laudet, Rdndolph-Macon and Mary
land State Normal. School. There will

The team win get in action on jan
uary Z against Gettysburg College at

ginning January 16 with Gallaudet at

successive days Randolph Macon, Ro-
anoke. Virginia Poly Lynchburg and

start until the first of the year, Coach

ing trip may be taken during the holi-
days, which will keep the men in con-
dltlon for the strenuous schedule
ahead. Ii such trip is attempted,
however. the games will be entirely
independent. The greater part Of the

ticing daily. The schedule for the 1922

ALLIED WAR
DEBT IS OBSTACLE TO

Unwise to Push Measure

WASHINGTON, June 2j.-Ct. PD-.
The question of refunding the allied
war debts is declared to he an obstacle
in the way OF the so-called bonus bill
ior eX-solders. Other obstacles
which have arisen to the veterans ad-,
justed compensation act, may delay
the passage of the bill several months,
senate leaders declare. The republican
leaders are reticent in discussing the
measure, and merely say it would be
unwise to push it at this time.
1t is expected that Senator Nc
cumber, of North Dakota, who is
handling the bill in the senate and
other advocates of the bill that the
funds for paying veterans compensa'
ton will not begin until after July
1922 and will he derived from the in
terest on foreign loans. The uneXpect-
ed attack by Senator Borah ON the
bonus bill Is also said to have had an
influence in the change of plans. II
the bill is pressed, it might make such
legislation unpopular with the country.
President Harding takes no definite
position on the measure but reported
that he favors compensation.

COUNTY MAKES REPAIRS
ON THE MISSION BRIDGE

improvements on the Mission bridge
on the Indian reservation across the
tmatilla river, which has been out Of
commission for some time. is being
made now by the county.
High waters recently washed ont
the south approach to the bridge, and
the work of opening it To traffic con-
ssts in repairs to the approach. The
county has the cooperation OF indivtd-
uals who are contributing their labor
and teams in the work.
The national government paid two
thirds of the cost of initial construc-
ton VIII ch amounted to $4,000 the
county paying the remaining portion,
Tho cost of maintenance, however.
was left to the county.
Judge Schanncp said this morning
that the reason for the washout is that
the bridge was not correctly placed BY
the government engineers. The ma
uire of the ground makes recur-
renee of washouts highly probable, hut
the ccst of moving the structure would
be prohihitive. the judge declares.
It is thought that traffic may he re-
sumed within two or three weeks.
