MOSCOW DEFEATS
CULDESAC QUINTET
LOCAL BASKETBALL MEN EVEN
UP WITH, VISITORS ON
1920 SCORE.

Moscow high school basketball
players more than evened up with
the Culdesac high school team by
winning last nights game in the high
school gymnasium by the comfortable
score of So to 20. Moscow players
rained in field baskets from all angles
of the floor and completely outplay-
ed, outpassed and Outshot the Guide
sac team.
Culdesac was unable to keep up
with the brilliant offensive of Coach
Comrada's team. The ball was in
the possession of the Moscow men
practically all of the game.
Nedros was the high point man and
star of the game. The capable Mos
COW forward, all-state man last sea-
son, made total of 81 points for
Moscow with IL field baskees and
nine free throws. All members of
the Moscow team made baskets from
the field Drury counted five bas-
kets, V. Estes hooped in four, Cap
tain Baumgarner made two field bas-
kets, and Woody counted three bas-
kets from the field.
Culdesac Score Kept Down.
Miles was the star of the Culdesac
team but the ability of Moscow play
ers to hold on to the ball prevented
any of the Culdesac men from show
ing up as individuals. At the end
of the first half Culdesac had not
counted a single field basket. The
five points made in the first half by
Culdesac were made on free throws.
In the second half Roise went in
for " Estes, Thompson was substi-
tuted for Baumgarner, and Mickey
took Woodys place.
Culdesac and Moscow players were
the guests of the Sigma club at a
banquet in the high school after the
gymnasium. The members of the
Culdesac team stayed over in Mos
COW today to take in the Washington
Idaho varsity game tonight as the
guests of the university athletic de-
partment The Culdesac players,
upon their arrival here, were met by
Moscow students in automobiles.
"Buck" Hunter of Moscow was ref
cree of the game.

UNIVERSITY GRADUATE
SPEAKS TO FORESTERS

Tom Jackson, a graduate of the
University of Idaho in 1919 as a log
ging engineer, addressed the Asso-
ciated Foresters of the university
this morning. Mr.. Jackson is on his
way to Susanville, California, where
he has accepted the position of log
ging superintendent with large
logging concern. Since leaving the
university he has been employed as
logging engineer for the Edward Rut-
ledge Timber company of Occur
dAlene.
s'The new concern to which / am
going,' said Mr.. Jackson, lis a large
modern logging outfit, and one of
the things which induced me to ac-
cept this offer is the fact that the
company is managing it's holdings on
the basis of sustained yield, thus
giving me a chance to practice for
estry, and in this phase of my work
l shall have the assistance of an ex-
perienced forester.
In closing" Mr. Jackson added,
'I am glad to know that a number
of you are preparing to enter the
field of logging engineering, as I be
lieve it to be an exceptionally good
one, and any young man who is
equipped for the work will not need
to look long for job

SUBSIDIZED PLANES
SHOW HIGH MILEAGE

Berlin-(A. P)-For every $1,000
or it's equivalent, received in state
subsidy during 1922, German airships
covered nearly 35,O93 kilometers as
compared with approximately II, 1872
in 1921, according to statistics an
nounced here. The same ratio gives
1925 passengers carried as against As,
and 1,906.07 Kilograms of freight COM
pared with 21285 the previous year.
The total figures on subsidy and
traffic for the year are not an
nounced. 1t is claimed, however, that
when these totals are compared with
French traffic and the support given
airplanes by the French government,
Germany's airships netted far the
greater returns. In proportion to the
financial aid provided by the respec-
tive governments, the German flyers
are said to have covered ten times
more distance an dcarried seventeen
times more freight than did the
French
While aerial navigation in Germany
is reported to have received twice the
amount of federal aid in 1922 that it
did during the twelve months preced
ing, the sum is declared to be ridi-.
culously small when compared with,
this fform of aid in England and
France. The English subsidy is said
to be more than five times os great,
and the rench more than elevenfold.
Figures for 1921 show that English
aviators traversed 517,357 kilometers,
French 2,950,705, and German 1,65S,
600. The passengers carried in Eng
liSh airShipS number 81 1853, in French
1886, and in German 12,297.
The computations are issued from
German aerial circles for the pur-
pose off showing that the home in
dustry has made the most of it's fed
eral aid, and has been highly sue
cessful in overcoming the handicap
fixed by the Entente in limiting the
power of German machines.

FIVE PER CENT CUT IN PAY
