SOPHOMORES TRIM
FROSH in CONTEST
YEARLINGS BESTED IN ANNUAL
HULME FIGHT ON IDAHO CAM
PUS SATURDAY

SOphOmores won the annual Hume
Fight Saturday afternoon at the Uni
veristy of Idaho from their freshmen
opponents. The freshmen in the an
nual "ducking ruckus" week ago by
the strength of superior numbers
routed the sophomores but in the or
ganized and regulated fight for second
year men came back with vengeance.
The sophomores won every event
of the annual contest as a result of
which the freshmen will have to wear
their green caps for a longer period
of time in the spring. If the freshmen
had won the period for the wearing
of the dinky green caps with white
buttons would have been materially
shortened.
In the wrestling events the sopho-
mores won both the 125 and 145 pound
bouts with falls. A fall counted three
points. The pick-a-back race, count
ing five points, was also won by the
sophomores. In the Hume Fight
proger the freshmen got their lone
point of the afternoon while the
sophon1ores took two points. The tug
of war was won by the sophomores
and added five points to their total
score.
Tug of War Features
The Hu1me Fight and the tug of
war were the two stellar attractions
of the afternoon. The Hume Fight
is the dragging of men across GER
tain line. Sophomores and freshmen
were line up and the struggle started.
Two sophomores succeeded in drag
ging two freshmen across the line
while one freshman was the only sue
cessful yearling to bring his sopho-
more opponent across the line.
In the tug of war the sophomores
pulled the struggling yearlings
through an impartially played fire
hose in the center of the rope. The
yearling team was thoroughly drench-
I'd and to properly cap the climax

CONFERENCE TEAMS
Open GRID SEASON
CALIFORNIA AND OREGON PLAY
HARD GAMES TODAY WASH
INGTON MEETS SAILORS

San FTancisco-(A. P.)=Football

the far western spotlight today when
four Pacific coast conference teams

Two contests which may be close
will be between the University of Cal
ifornia, conference champion in 1920
and 1921, and University of Santa
Clara at Berkeley and the University
of Oregon and Pacific university at
Eugene.
The Berkeley game will be the first
California-Santa Clara contest since
the days of Rugby, some years back,
and the Mission team hopes to at
least score on the California eleven,
which has lost its 1921 stone wall line.
Oregon at Eugene, also with an mex
perienced line, may have to fight to
win, for Pacific university has lost
only two members of it's team which
won the 1921 non-conference cham
pionship of the northwest.
Practice Games
Two other northwest schools, the
University of Washington and the
Oregon Agricultural college, have
games too, but they are only practice
contests. Washington's rebuilt vars
ity plays the U. S. S. Idaho and the |
Aggies meet an American Legion team
from Astoria, Ore.
Stanford university and the Uni |
versity of Southern California have |
games for today, but they will be |
home affairs, the Cardinals meeting
the Stanford second team in the
and the southerners playing
an alumni team. The other confer
ence teams, Washington State college
and the University of Idaho, do not
play today.

UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN
TROUNCE LEWISTON HIGH

University of Idaho freshmen
trounced the Lewiston high school
football team Friday afternoon at
Lewiston, 2S to o. The game was a
practice game for the Idaho yearlings
and Coach Macmillan used all of the
16 men he took on the trip. The Lew
-iston boys were completely outclassed
in every phase of the game and fur
nished little competition for the light
but fast freshman team.
Lewiston was unable to threaten
even the freshman goal line while the
Idaho yearlings romped down the
field almost at will. Davis of Good
ing, Cameron of Boise, and Bucklin
and Payne, both of Idaho Falls, star
red for the yearlings. Davis was the
ground gamer of the game
while Bucklin and Payne were de-
fensive stars. Cameron carried the
ball for consistent gains. Sibley of
Boise, played good game at guard
for the yearlings.

ENFORCEMENT
Of DRY LAW IS
BIC TASK HERE
Report Shows March a Busy
Month for Police
Department.

That the police and Federal agents
were busy during the month OF
March in enforcing the Volstead
law is shown by a report submit
ted this morning to Major Daniel
Sullivan, chief of police. Arrests
totaled 361 persons. including men,
women and minors. These figures
do not include the 531 persons who
were arrested for being drunk dur
ing the month nor the fifty-two
persons who were charged with
drinking in public and operating
while drunk, vehicles Of various
kinds. Motor vehicles numbering
thirteen were seized and one wagon
was confiscated under the Volstead
law. Thirteen stills also were con
fiscated.
Following is the amount of liq
ours of various kinds that were
seized: whiskey. 1,432 Quarts; gin
fifteen quarts; alcohol. $50 gallons
cider, sixty quarts; peach extracts
253 bottles: whiskey mash, 1900
gallons; cognac. thirteen bottles; ia
maica ginger, 45S bottles; wine, "a
gallons; extracts Of. various kinds
sos bottles; beer. 124 bottles and
brandy, four bottles.
THAT q total of 944 persons
should be arrested during the month
for violations Of various kinds OF
the prohibition laws, is very graft
fying to me-" Major Sullivan said
this morning. II am glad the po
lice are showing such efficient work
in helping maintain order in the
District"
A striking feature of the report
is that no arrests in connection with
prohibition laws were effected by
members OF the harbor police, the
detective bureau nor the woman's
bureau.
Precincts Nos. 2, 4, 7, 6 and /
respectively, led in the largest mum

NEW YORK. April Al every
girl took a husbands temporary
alienation as sensibly as did the
heroine of Sisters" the picture
at the Cameo Theater. the horror
Of divorce would be stayed and
the community would be saved a
tremendous amount OF damage
and a large collection Of can't.
This particular heroine does not
indulge in the mock heroics or
in grandstand methods, but mere
Iy looks at the thing with merci-
full eyes, and-behold! 1t all ends
happily.
Sisters" Is human little
story that does not call for alb
struse analysis. The two sisters,
who love the one man-although
the younger is married to another
are nice as girls could be,
and there is not the least stagi-
ness about them. 1t seems a bit
of a puzzle why they loved the
same man, but IL we understood
why women loved certain men.
and despised others, many Of

he is not at all unlike Martin,
whom Cherry has married and
whom she does not love. And

That is the big scene. and 1t is
most dramatically shown. There

The girl is stunned when she sees
her sister in her husbands arms.
There are no determinations. She
does not fall upon her recalcitrant
sister and rend her. That Is one
of the really human notes in

the elopment and finally wins out.
