KNOX CONQUERS
ANTAGONIST IN
LITTLE IS WAR
Coach BaEry's Stand in Basketball
War vindicated Apparently by
Bid to State Track Meet.
Especial to The Argus.)

Galesburg. ILL.,. March 9.-Knox
college has finally come out on top
in the press-mooted wrangle with
other members of the Illinois Inter
collegiate Athletic conference.
When the Galesburg school some
time ago announced its intention
of not entering the basketball
tournament this year, considerable
comment was aroused in athletic
circles, and the other colleges in
the conference attached numerous
alleged murky motives to the ac-
ton.
Coach Sam Barry and the Knox
faculty stood firm and upheld their
alibi as that of conservation of the
powers of the loop athletes, refus-
ing to subject them to the abnormal
strain Of playing a dozen games
in the short space of two days.
Opposition Develops.
Opposition then developed, as re-
taliation for this move. 1t was OBJ
vious that the other colleges were
sore, though their reasons for the
feeling were not entirely clear
They wanted revenge and sought
it in an attempt to unanimously
inform Knox its presence at the
state track tournament in Decatur
May q and %, was not wanted.
This scheme was apparently
abandoned. In meeting at Decatur
last Wednesday-the date having
been changed to that day without
Knox receiving information-ths
dates of the tournament were fixeG
as those mentioned above, May 2,
and IS.
Conference Coup RumOred.
1t IS interesting to note that thoss
dates are also those of the inter
state track tournament to be helt
in Iowa. Knox happens to be ths
tcnly member of the conference in
yited to the interstate meet. 1t j:
limited here, though officials of thu
college avoid the implication. tina
a coup on the part of the confer
ence was intended in this fixing o
a conflicting date.
| Knox, however, will enter tn
state and interstate meets, it wa
predicted by Coach Sam Barry yes
terday. He is strongly inclined t
believe that the interstate meet dat
| will be changed so as to fall Oh
the days of either May Is and IA
or May 20 and 81.
Good Chance to Win.
| The Purple has an excellen
chance to triumph in the stat
meet this year as it did last. Kno,
made a highly creditable showini
against better trained and bette
equipped track men in the colleg
track competition at Urbana Sat
urday. placing fourth. The rest G
the track contingent is getting int
the game hard with the advent o
j spring weather.
Competition will be keen and ex
citing at the state meet. Sue
strong contenders as Beloit. earle
ton. Cornell, Coa Ripon and Wa
bash are entered, with others, an
each will make big bid for tn
honors, while, moreover, all ar
represented by big-time squads.

POLISH CONSTITUTION UNIQUE
Provides That State Shall Care f.
Children if Neglected by
Their Parents.

London.-Poland's new constitution
probably will contain provision for
care of children by the state which
will make it unique, in the opinion of
officials here who have seen the draft.
The article reads:
Each child deprived of parental
care or who is neglected morally or
materially, has the right to secure
care and aid from the state. The
sphere of the states duties in this ca
pacity will be defined separately by
laws, which will foresee as well
the protection of mothers who may
require aid, before the birth of the
child, and the protection of the child
in infancy"
AS far as known here no consti-
tuition in the world includes such
q provision.

More Widows Than Widowers.

According to the United States CEN
sus of 1920, there are in this country
at this time 3,170,000 widows and only
1,471 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, on the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
err than the husband, and then, too,
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
wOmen.-Bamkers Life Bulletin.

they were selling the best bananas OF

When the people OF community

these purchases, they do so for one
of two reasons.
One of these reasons is that they

principal reason is that tho buyer is

that the prices are lower elsewhere.
The store that carries standard
goods and is not afraid to describe
