COAST OFFICIALS
OUTLAW SCOUTING
NEIDIG REPORTS ON ATHLETIC
CONFERENCE OF PACIFIC INSTI-
UTIONS-MEETING SUCCESSFUL

The practice of scouting for high
school athletics was virtually out
lawed at a recent meeting of repre-
sentatives of the eight institutions
comprising the Pacific Coast Inter
collegiate conference at Portland, ac-
cording to Prof. r. E. Neidig, a mem
ber of the athletic board, who repre-
sented the University of Idaho DR..
w. H. Barrows, Stanford representa-
tive, proposed to make scouting i'm
possible but it was pointed out that
such a ruling could hardly be en-
forced and the final decision was that
scouting be prohibited, with the pro-
vision that flagrant" cases be
brought to the attention of the con-
ference.
In connection with the attempt to
minimize scouting the conference
voted that no college should give COM
plimentary tickets to prospective high
school athletes visiting the institu-
tion.
Rule Is Reversed
The rule on what constitutes parti-
cipation was reversed. Hereafter
man shall not have participated un-
less he has played in a part of a
varsity game. Previously year on
the squad has counted as year of
participation, regardless of whether
the candidate was ever permitted to
enter a game.
Uniform eligibility certificates were
adopted and several of the rules were
clarified. The suggestion that the
conference appoint a sort of inter
collegiate Judge Lands to decide on
matters of eligibility was heartily de-
feated, the representatives feeling that
colleges were capable of deciding such
matters for themselves
The meeting was very successful
and in the opinion of Professor Neidig
will result in a stronger friendship
between the various institutions COM
prising the conference.

ment Thursday by G. l.. Butterfield,

fund, motion prevailed that 80 per
cent of the funds now on hand be ap-
piled for that purpose.
The discussion on the hiring of a

Returned MISSIONARY 4
RECOUNTS AFRICAN WORK

Miss Goldie Wells, a returned mis-
sionary from Monilka in Belgium
Africa, spoke to a good sized audience
al the Christian church, on mission
work III Africa Miss Wells, who is
working under the United Missionary
society of the Christian church, is
a native of the Willamette valley, and
a graduate of the Eugene Bible uni
versity. She spent three years in
Africa, returning to the United States
for a years furlough, some five
months ago. Later in the present
year she will go east to take some
post graduate work, before returning
to the mission field
Miss Wells, who has a pleasant
personality, told in a most entertain
ing manner of the work being carried
on in the mission field and of the
eagerness of the natives to receive
the teachings of the Bible. While
the missionaries work under condl-
tions which are not nearly so salts
factory as living in America, the work
is growing and with the development
of the country, conditions are i'm
proving. The mission is located at
the equator, and the heat is more or
less intense and the utmost care must
be taken if the white persons are to
preserve their health Not a drop
of water can be used without first
being boiled and filtered, and it is
necessary to sleep under mosquito
netting always in order to escape be-
ing bitten by the disease-carrying
insects. Insects, reptiles, and ami
mails, found in the tropical regions,
abound, and are source of consider
able annoyance. The missionaries
travel for the most part on the
steamer Oregon, on the Congo. The
steamer was built by the society a
number of years ago.
From here Miss Wells went to Pull
man, where she will speak tonight

NELSON Will Direct
MOSCOW CITY Band

The Moscow City band, which was
organized last February largely
through the efforts of C. D. Bell, and
with Mr.. Bell as president of the or
ganization, will from now on be di-
rected by Professor Bernt Nelson,
efficient director of the r. o. T. G.
band at the University of Idaho. This
decision was reached at a meeting of
the directors Of the Moscow chamber
of commerce, and the officials of the
band organization.
The band, which now has 20 pieces,
will be developed until there are at
least 40 pieces, and under Professor
NELSON'S tutelage, should soon be one
of the leading community bands in
the Inland Empire. 1t is the purpose
to develop the latent musical talent
of which there is an abundance in
the city. The first rehearsal will be
held Friday evening at 1880 at the
city hall, and all persons interested
are asked to see Professor Nelson,
or to be present at the meeting.
The band has had excellent support
since it was organized, and has the
backing of the chamber of commerce,
as we'll as of the citizens generally.

BUSINESS WOMEN'S DANCE
is DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

The Moscow Business and Profess
sIonal Women's club held the first of
a series of four dances on Wednesday
evening in Eggan's hall. The affair
was very successful and well at
tended. The decorations were beauti-
ful in Virginia creepers and other
beautiful vines, hanging in streamers
from the walls and ceilings. In the
vines were many clusters of lights
in autumn colors. Mann Brothers, as
usual, furnished the best of music.
Much of the success is due to the
committee in charge. The following
young ladies headed the committees:
Avis Drew, Emma Sleen, Irene Cox,
Charlotte Sorenson, Helen Fem, Kate

GOAL Plentiful BUT
FOR LABOR TROUBLES

Washington = Labor disturbances
are the most serious obstacle to
superabundant production of coal IN
the United States, the coal commits
sion declared in a report to President
Coolidge on the subject of " irregular
operation and overdevelopment of the
bituminous industry" While ineffec-
tive transportation machinery was
said to lend it's effect to fuel short
ages. the commission concludes that
" the strike of the mine workers is
the only bar to continuous production
considerably in excess of any present
possibility Of consumption"
To attempt to solve the problem
solely by improving transportation,
the report said, would be simply to
transfer to the railroad industry
the overdevelopment now seen in the
coal industry and to necessarily In
crease freight rates. 1t was est1-
mated that the railroads would entail
an expenditure of S2,00O000,000 if
they set out to build up their equip
ment to the point where it could
serve the peak demand for fuel, which
would impose an additional charge on
coal of about cents a ton.
"The alternative is better use of
TRANSFORMATION facilities currently
available" the commission decided.

INFANCY CHARGE
ROUSES FRESHMEN
S0PHOMORES POST EDICTS-
YEARLINGS AND SECOND YEAR
MEN STAGE ANNUAL BATTLE


"Ye le-Brooding Infants - as
the freshmen or entering students of
the University of Idaho class of 1927
are called by the sophomores paraded
in full but ineffective force all through
the night and early into Thursday
morning.
The fight is on was the word
spread around the campus by upper
classmen and underclassmen alike
Juniors and seniors walked down
town to egg the participants on while
sophomore and freshman leaders hur-
rledly gathered forces.
Victory for Both
Both sides Thursday claimed signal
victories. Certain it is that the an
nual edict to the freshmen as issued
by the sophomores was not as pro-
mlnently placed around the city and
campus as in years past. On the
other hand the chief individual casu-
alties in the way of duckings were
suffered by the first year forces.
The chief event of the evening was
the pitched battle near First and JEFF
ferson streets. A small gang of
sophomores by connecting up two
fire hoses braved the forces of the
frosh. The yearlings waded in after
some soakings and captured the water
lmpelling artillery of the boys of 20
The sophomores insist that two frosh
hose gangs then proceeded to soak
each other while the freshman allow
that the only dampening noticeable
was in the shrinking of the sopho-
moric cockiness.
Hulme Fight Saturday
Early in the morning after the
freshmen had split up a gang of the
second year men invaded fraternity
houses to invite outnumbered fresh
men to bath on the front lawns.
All told the only damage of the
evening was in the loss of sleep bv
the participants and the freshmen and
sophomores are now ready for the
annual regulated Hume fight on the
campus Saturday. At the request of
President Upham and Talbot Jennings,
student body president, all hostilities
were closed at o'clock Thursday
morning.
Rules for Year1ings
Following are the rules for fresh
men as laid down by the sophomores
and accompanied by the announce
ment of the maximum penalties:
Ye shall adorn your brainless
pates with the eternal emblem of serf-
dom-the green cap.
Discard all emblems and regalia
of the nursery and of your kiddish
high school days.
Ye shall not attire yourself in a
dress suit, as that privilege becomes
only gentlemen.
Ye shall doff your hats to the
Prexy and show due respect to your
superiors.
Ye shall say Hello to everyone
and doff your cap to the co-eds.n
These mandates are closed with a
rather uncomplimentary announce
ment of the punishment for disobedi-
ence:
Disobey these commandments and
thy Shiny carcasses shall be thrown
into the sluggish water of Paradisel"

WASHINGTON FARMERS
ASK FOR MORATORIUM

In order that farmers may be
able to hold their wheat until after
the congress convenes, on the ninth
of December, the farmers of the
state of Washington are petitlonlng
Governor Louis F. Hart to declare
ninety-day moratorium for the state,
and asking that the governor urge the
governors of other wheat growing
states to do the same.
G. P. Mix, extensive local farmer,
who took the lead in this district IN
urging congress to take some steps
to stabilize the price of wheat, is IN
receipt of a copy of the following re-
solution and petition to the governor,
adopted Monday of this week at a
mass meeting of the farmers of Col
umbia county, Washington:
Whereas, the financial situation
Of the grain farmer is in deploraDle
condition, owing to the price OF wheat
for the past three years being far
below the cost of production; it the
farmer is forced to liquidate at pre-
sent time and at the present prices
it will mean the financial ruin OF
majority of the American farmers.
We have some hopes of relief from
the congress of the United States
which convenes on December 9th, and
therefore be it
Resolved, that we, as farmers OF
Columbia county, state of Washing
ton, do hereby respectively petition
your honor to declare a 90-day mora
torium for the state of Washington
and also to urge upon all governors
of wheat-growing states to a similar
action, as bringing it to the attention
of the honorable president of the
United States and thus make the
moratorium a national one"
