FANS AWAIT START
OF. CRUCIAL CLASH
ASHINGTON-IDAHO BASKETBALL
GAME HERE SATURDAY NIGHT
TICKET SALE THURSDAY.

Interest in the Neutrality-suspicious.
basketball game continues to increase
as the time of the game draws nearer.
Washington won from Idaho by the
narrow margin of one point recently
on the Seattle floor and the Vandals
are waiting to even up the count Tor
this season.
Basketball fans have been forced to
merely wet their appetites for fast
varsity basketball in the past two
weeks and the Washington game is
expected to draw a record breaking
crowd to the gymnasium Saturday
night at o'clock when the game
begins.
Coach Macmillan has been working
the VandaIs hard during the past two
weeks perfecting the team-play, pass
ing and shooting of his basketball
men. All members of the team are
in good shape and the Idaho men are
out to take Washington to defeat.
Standing All Mixed Up.
The conference standing has been
so mixed up during the past two
weeks that little is known of the re-
lative standing of the collegiate bas-
ketball teams in the race for the
championship of the northern division.
Idaho still has a fighting chance to
carry away the honors provided Idaho
wins the rest of the games on her
schedule.
The ticket sale for Saturday nights
game opens Thursday noon on re-
served seats at Jerry's and the Econo-
micaI pharmacy. Reserved seats for
students will be placed on sale Thurs
day noon in the administration build
ing.
Moscow people are advised by the
university athletic department to pro-
-cure-theif~ seats as soon as possible as
the largest crowd of the season is ex-
pected at the gymnasium. The made
quacy of the gymnasium to accomo-
date all those who want to see the
game is likely to cause a heavy and
early run on reserved seats. North
ern Idaho high school basketball
coaches are bringing their players to
the games as the guests of the univer-
sity athletic department. Thurlyn II.
Shrontz, principal of the Grangevllle
high school and university graduate,
is bringing eight men.

BORAH MAY VISIT EUROPE;
MAY MAKE SEVERAL SPEECHES.

Washington = CA. P) = Additional
invitations to speak in Europe on in
ternational relations have been re-
ceived by Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho, who for some time has had in
mind a trip abroad during the COM
ing summer if his personal affairs per-
nit.
Because of his long fight against
the league of nations and European
entanglements and his recent advo-
cacy of an international economic
conference called by the United States,
Mr.. Borah has been deluged with re-
quests that he discuss international
problems in European countries.
The Idaho senator Friday said he
had not reached final decision but
he hoped to get away soon after con-
gress adjourns next month. If he
goes, he probably will accept many
of the invitations extended to him.

few ARE UNEMPLOYED;
BREAD lines DISAPPEAR

Chicago-(A PD-Bread lines in
the midwest have been nearly elimin-
lated and unemployment greatly re-
duced this winter according to reports
from state labor departments, indus
trial commissions, employers associa-
tions, and employment bureaus.
The causes were given as improved
industrial conditions, mild winter and
considerable out of doors work for
common labor. An exception was re-
ported at Cincinnati in floating ne
gro population, out of work, whose
presence is attributed partly to mi
grafton to northern jobs during the
rail strike last summer and partly to
lay-offs from work on two govern
ment dams near the city.
The northwest generally reports a
demand for lumber jacks, with con-
siderable call also for building wor-
kers and common laborers.

HANDSOME BUILDING CAN BE

SAYS CHURCH PAPER

The handsome Sunday School Tenn
pie of the Methodist church is near
ing completion and can be finished
within $4,000, according to a report
contained in the last number of
'The Moscow Methodist" The church
publication gives credit to the build
ing committee and the contractor,
Walter Davidson, in that mo con-
tractor would consider taking the
work for less than $4,000" and that
'many things have been added which
were not originally in the plans"
Donated work was especially no
ticeable," says the report. "There is
scarcely a laborer who has worked
on the building that has not donated
something all the way from SO to
$100 each.
'Mr Mcconnell, who laid the brick,
has now offered 800 donation on the
mastering Walter Davidson and
Charles Carssow have done as much.
D. M Horney, Earl Estes, and E. E.
Kienho1z are among the last to come
forth with fine donations. The team
sters have been more than liberal. In
the worst of weather Otto Schlueter
and Henry Erickson went to Pullman
and got rock so that we could finish.
In fact it is an endless task to name
every one who has had part in
making the project a success. Many
have done just as much or more than
those mentioned above by even bor-
rowing goodly amounts of money to
pay their subscriptions

are only few officers and soldiers,
the Russians having been expected
to man the ship and do all work in
connection with the voyage.
The refugees were enjoined in
special orders issued by Admiral
Stark before leaving that their con-
duct on the voyage would in large
part determine their welcome to the
United States.
They were to be paid one cent n
month for their work in view Of
the fact that they were having free
