no points are to be awarded.
Search of the minutes of the Olym-
pic and international amateur athlet-
ic federation conferences held at Lau-
same last season fails to disclose
any reference to points. Members of
the American delegation explained
the omission by the statement that
there were several discussions regard
ing the system under which points
should be scored at the eighth Olym~
paid, but that no agreement could be
reached AS a result it was decided
that the point system should be abol
ished. In the future each nation can
figure its points upon any system de-
sired, but no official cognizance shall
be taken of such.
While those who attended the con-
ference of last season were loath tO
discuss the matter, it was learned that
each nation fought determinedly for
its own method of Point scoring, and
when it was realized that there were
no common ground the matter was
dropped. Among the systems pro-
posed were the three, two and one
punt lOl III 81 I'LL SS pliCSS, llS ANSb
four, three, two and one method for
five places; the seven, five, four, three,
two and one plan for counting six
places and other variations.
The latter systems prevailed at the
games held at Antwerp in 1920 and
worked fairly well in the track and
field contests, but when the combina-
tion team and individual relay and
cross-country races were reached
hardly any two scorers agreed. The
otlcial score sheets posted in the Ant
werp stadium were changed almost
daily for a week after the games were
completed in an effort to reach a sat
isfactory adjustment.
1t is considered probable that the
majority of the nations competing in
iarls will simply record the placing
of the first three men or teams IN each
event and lay their claims to athletic
supremacy upon the TACT that they
wen so many firsts, seconds and
thirds, unless the Olympic and l. A.
A. f. officials alter their determina-
ton to eliminate scoring Ivy points.

EVERYBODY HAS BEST TEAM

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 24.--The contro-
versy that has ragged since early fall
as to which is the best college basket
ball team in the South was up for final
settlement, at Leaf for a year, with
the opening here today OF the joint
tournament of the Southern Athletic
conference and the S. |. A. A.
OF the twenty-four teams entered,
not a one but what ha been downed
at least by another Dixie quintet but
all are claimants of the honors except
possibly two. The Georgetown (Ky.)
college team came with the avowed
purpose of settling a state affair by
another meeting with Kentucky Uni
versity and the Ogelthorpe Five made
up of Freshmen entered not because
they though they had a chance to
win, but out of civic pride as the
meet Is being held in Its home town.
The luck of the draw brought the two
Kentucky rival together in the first
round.
South Carolina with six teams en-.
tered is the bet represented of any
of the eight states. Georgia scpmes
next with four; Alabama. Kentucky,
Tennessee and Mississippi each has
three and North Carolina and Louis
lana have one each. Kentucky was the

against Georgia here q year ago.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
ATTRACTS MANY

The Washington Birthday golf tour
nament at the Country Club was a
huge success in every respect aside
from the fact that rain interfered dur
in the final round which made it
necessary for some of the late start
erS to finish later in the week.
A very enthusiastic crowd gathered
around tee number one as Prditt,
Todd, Appleyard and Neville drove
off, they being the first foresome to
get under way. Much speculation
was rife as to the outcome of the
medal play, but as is the case in golf
as well as other sports the dark horse
must always be considered.
Dr. j. d. Griffin finished with the
fine net score of 81 and although there
are still few who have rounds to
play, it looks like this score will be
hard to beat.
c. H. Williams, c. o. Pinch, c. E.
Todd and W. w. Chase played fine
golf but DR.. Griffn's handicap and
his steady playing was too much for
these better players to overcome, al
though they were we'll down in the
nlneties.
z. Barnes, for new player, put up
a remarkable game making two fifties.
He drives about as long ball as any
and promises to be a fine player. Mrs.
I. E. Grubb was the only woman en-
tered in the tournament but more
than held her own against the
brawnier sex and finished with a
gross score of 105. That she was

than the pro.
There is quite enough temperament
on both Temperament" ac-
cording to HEX, being the highbrow
word for ordinary pure cussedness.
The puffed bean is not uncommon
in either camp, yet it can hardly bet
set down as ruling vice.
From our experience the pro has
been more inclined, upon the average,
to speak a good work for some leading
rival than the amateur is. Both camps
are beset by too much envy and jeal-
ousy, but the pro in this respect is
certainly no worse than the amateur.
There are certain sports where
ideals seek higher levels than in 9TH
ers, rowing and tennis both belonging
to this class.
Taking the entire field of players,
there is more comradeship in golf
than any other sport, as the game
lands itself more to this vital quality.
In the way of general ability, the
pro has the better of it. He is able
TO give more time to his game, with
fewer distracting intervals. He is bet
ter able to make habit of form and
style. Yet such amateur stars as Til
den, Johnston, Evans, Jones, Ouimet
Jay Gould, Devereux Milburn, Louis
Stoddard, Charley Paddock, Gourdin
Ray, etc, have shown to what classic
heights the amateur can mount.
William Ward, of Miami, captain
and backstop of the University OF
Florida baseball team, has signed a
contract with the Brooklyn National
League club and will report to the
Dodgers at the end of the college base
ball season, it was learned here today.
Ward was captain of the school nine
last year and was regarded as one of
the best college team catchers in the
south.

ENeLIsHMAN MAKES s
HUMOROUS TRADE

Munich Feb. 24.-The fiuctuating
rates of exchange in Europe bring
about some humorous transactions.
Recently an Englishman on his way
from Germany to Switzerland pur-
chased bottle of wine for 500 crowns
in the Austrian Tyrol. After drinking
the wine he kept the bottle, and when
he passed the Swiss frontier sold it
for so centimes. A Swiss so centine
piece is worth 700 Austrian Crowns,
so that the Englishman not only had
his wine without cost but gained 200
crowns.

TALKING 1T OVER

From all the reports that can be
cleaned from our eminent sporting
writers in New York City, they seem
pretty we'll disguised with the recent
Stecher-Zbyszko rough house staged
by the Curly syndicate. This rolling
falls stuff is all right for the lighter
weights but it doesn't give the heavy
boys chance to show their wares.
1t seems that both of the boys did
not realize when they won fall and
the referee had to say in loud voice
that the fall was over" This is get
ting to be a pretty state of affairs
when you can run at wrestler and
tackle him, roll with him and you

Golf was one of the impelling reas-

recently resigned his federal judgship,
it was learned today. Although an
ardent lover of the game, the baseball
commissioner found that he rad no

his double duty of arbitrating legal
and baseball affairs. He found time
for only three rounds of golf last year,
which he decided was not sufficient
to keep him in physical and mental
trim for his arduous duties. He said
that with court routine off his calen-
dar he felt sure he would be able to
play enough golf to keep him in per-
feet fettle for the work OF arbitrating
baseball difficulties.

But conditions are not those of 1917
Inc capacity of America to consume
potatoes has limit. We simply have
reached that limit this year. And, in
order to stimulate consumption, in
order to get rid of the bumper crop,
prices had to be adjusted to the point
where people will eat more potatoes.
And that level has proven below the
point where Idaho can market her Do
tatoes at profit.
1t is futile to argue that cooperative
marketing, undergoing its initial test
IN Idaho this year, has had the slight
est thing to do with potato market
conditions. Or, indeed, that it has
created the first consignment in Can
yon county. 1t hasn't. Twin Falls
county has no cooperative marketing
organization operating there. And the
situation is identical to that prevailing
in the Boise Valley today.

LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE

And now some one proposes fed
eral coal commission to be composed
of both miners and operators who shall
have control and regulation of the
industry. If such commission is ever
to be given authority by all means
both miners and operators be strictly
barred from membership upon it.
So surely as they would be given re-
presentation, we would have repeti-
ton of the old plan of them getting
together to horn the public, and I'M
der the sanction of the federal gov
eminent such a plan could be worked
to perfection. Let the commission be
composed of outsiders, of men whose
only interest in the matter is in see
ing that the people secure coal and
secure it at the lowest possible prices
consistent with living wages for the
miners and small profits for the oper-
ators. All other considerations should
be banished as inimical to the public
welfare.-Ft. Wanye CInd) News

that the plan of the President of the

not be carried out. The threat is add

president HARDING'S address

president HARDING'S address
Friday to congress on the indus
trial situation outlined new policy
that the public, long tired of the in
reference with normal business in
America by capital and organized la
Dor alike, settling their differences, has
long demanded.
Whatever the cost, if it means
wrecking organized labor, if it means
taking over railroads and coal mines
under stricter federal control, the pub
lie must be protected. 1t is nonsen-
steal to think that one million of Am
erican citizens can ever jeopardize the
happiness and liberty of the other
05,O00,000 people who live under the
stars and stripes. And yet that is
precisely what the coal and railroad
strikes, reduced to their final denom-
inator, really mean.
=. One questions, however, the advis-
Utility of commission and all its pom
derous machinery and reports, as be-
ing necessary for intelligent handling
of the coal situation by congress.
Commissions are expensive. They
usually take precious time and, finally,
making a report, see it cluttering the
archives of Washington document
upon which congress will never act.
We do know that some definite and
tangible progress must be made in
finding a solution for the coal con-
troversy, now, happily though only
temporarily, settled. The problem is
deeper than controversies between en-
ployer and employee.
To Americans generally, the idea OF
federal ownership or federal control
of industries such as the production Of
coal is absolutely abhorrant. We al
ready have too much of the blight Of
politics in business. But some super
vising power is certain to be the oni,
solution of the coal problem. Ano
the government is the only agency tt
accomplish it.
Too many mines, too many miners
too few days work for most men, in
flated wages scales inflated costs o
coal at mine mouth; these are prob
lens that a government alone car
solve. And, If we are to stop the eve
recurring coal strikes with the exp,ra
ton of every contract between min'
owners and miners, these problem
must be solved. Public welfare de
mands 1t. And President Harding |
on the right track.

The Real Cause.
THE strike situation is not altogether

THE strike situation is not altogether
to blame for the descending scale
of farm product prices. While it has
its effect, nevertheless, it is almost cer-
tain the potato quotations would have
been unsatisfactory to Idaho produc-
ers had there been no railroad strike.
Overproduction is the prime reason
for price declines. Today, more than
1900 more cars of potatoes have been
marketed than on the corresponding
day last year and even more than for
the same period two years ago. Only
In 1917 did the market absorb more
potatoes. And the stimulant of war
creating a market for anything in any
quantity, kept the price up.
