which meant a sweater to some of US.
Now, we feel that we have earned
our letters and sweaters and think we
should not be punished in this way;
and we feel, too, that it is very small
business on the part of Mr.. Hardin
and Mr.. Roberts to refuse to give any
credit to Orion Nef for making the
team what it was. When some of
the boys went to see Mr.. Hardin a.
bout putting up Orion's picture, Mr..
Hardin said that he did not want
Neffs picture in the school Yet the
people Of Cody had shown their ap-
probation Of what Orion had done
for the team by giving him a hand
some gold watch and the boys of the
team and school had given him a
gold chain and a gold basket ball
"Mr. Roberts has already told some
Of us that he will not let anybody
come up next year and help him to
coach, and this in face Of the fact
that he has said himself that he does
not know anything about basket BALL
Orion Neff was good enough to
coach at the University of Wyoming
but Mr.. Roberts does not want his
help. Why! 'r =.
"Mr. Roberts never took good ARE
Of his team o trips. He very sell
dom rubbed one Of US down after a
game or even enquired about us.
We want a coach that we can go TO
and tell III troubles and our needs,
and who shows some personal inter
est in US. Mr.. Roberts does not keep
his word. and we do not like men who
do not keep their word.
ED Brown was elected by the
school body to represent them in the
athletic meeting along with Mr.. Har-
din, Mr.. Roberts, Buck" Buchanan
and Miss Kelmyer. This committee
was to make rules for the awarding
Of sweaters and letters. and other
athletic business. Brown, who rep
resented the school body. was never
consulted. Rules were made, letters
and sweaters presented without his
knowing anything about it.
"Then Mr.. Roberts promised to let
him see them and offer any objec-
tons he wished. He did not keep his
word. Brown never saw them. If this
is fair treatment we would like to
know it.
"When the Junior Class put on a
show at the school and did a lot of
hard work to make it a success, Mr..
Hardin took forty per cent of the
money. MI. Hardin promised the
Juniors that he would not spend this
money until he saw the Juniors and
got their consent. He agreed to let
them say as to what it should be
spent for. When the Juniors decided
to send Orion Nef to Laramie to help
the team out, they asked Mr.. Hardin
for it. He already had spent it. Once
more he had broken his word. He had
used it to send three boys to the
stock show at Bozeman without men
tioning IL 10 the Juniors, who earned
1t. Is that fair treatment. we would
like TO know?
"Mr. Roberts cannot coach and will
not let men who can coach help him,

OuS VI lllS pictures VI tlC tSdll,
The Cody High School will have
no athletics next year, Judging from
the present outlook.
1t has been no secret for a long
time that there has been much dis
cord and dissatisfaction with the
coach, o. P. Roberts as well as with
the unfair treatment the boys consid-
err they have received at the hands of
the principal, Ralph Hardin.
At a meeting held last week the
members Of the basket ball team def
initely decided to refuse to play next
year unless there was q change Of
coach. Athletics lean a great deal
to these boys who have taken a trem-
endous interest in basket and foot
ball, and they feel strongly in the
matter. They declare, however, that
it is useless to try to develop a win
ming team in the present circum-
stances. :
They have asked permission of the
Enterprise to lay their case bsfore
that portion Of the public which has
shown its interest in them in many
ways and given its loyal support.
In their own way, the members of
the team have set forth the facts as
they see them and given their rea-
sons for refusing to play another
year unless some change is made.
"There has been a lot of criticism
Of US for not going out for track
this year. If our critics had under
stood our reasons they would not
have been so severe. 1t was because
We knew that under present condi-
tions we could not be a credit to
Cody, to the Cody High, or to our
selves.
"If the Cody High does not care
enough about athletics to change
these conditions. a lot of men will
never go back again.
When the basket ball season start
"When the basket ball season
started, Mr.. Roberts told US the first
day that he knew nothing whatever
about basket ball. We soon saw that
he had told the truth.
During the Christmas holidays,
Orion Neff took us over and Mr.. Ro-
berts himself admitted our improve
ment under Orion. Then we had a
chance to be not only the champions
of the Big Horn Basin but of the
State, but to win we had to have a
different coach than Mr.. Roberts,
and we wanted Orion.
"Mr. Hardin and Mr.. Roberts
would not let Orion coach us. al
though they knew we could not win
unless we had a coach who under
stood the game. This made a lot of
trouble and bad feeling, and most of
the boys refused to play, knowing
defeat vas certain in such circum-
stances.
"Then some of the business men
of Cody took the matter up with the
boys, and Mr.. Hardin and Mr.. Ro-
berts, and the boys consented to let
Roberts continue to coach providing
the slate was wiped clean and the
matter was never mentioned again.
But Mr.. Roberts did not keep his
word; he kept bringing it up from
time to time, and while we were in
Laramie, bawled us out again about
wanting Orion to coach instead of
him.
"Then we had our pictures taken,
one with Roberts in the picture and
another with both Roberts and Orion.
The picture in which Roberts was n
lone with the team was put up in the
High School. The boys took il down
and put up the one in which Orion
was in the picture along with Mr..
Roberts. To punish us for doing
this we have been deprived of our
letters for this years basket ball,

Thanks be to God, all attempts at restraining knowledge in

RAILROADS WIN IN l
 HIGH COURT APPEAL
1. C. C. Order for Change
 able Mileage Books Set Aside
WALTON ALSO LOSES CASE
Impcached Governor of Oklahoma Cannot Bring Proceedings Up for Review Direct from Legislature Deyision Reversed.

Washington, Jan. 21 The order of the interstate commerce requiring railroads to issue interchangeable mileage tickets under the act of 1922 was set aside by the supreme court today in a case brought by the gov ernment against the railroads east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
 The court tok the position that the order of the commission could not be enforced because it was issued without proper hearings. The opin- ion does not affect the power of the commission to order mileage tickets after proper hearings.
 Those railroads which opposed the commissions order contended that proper cognizance had not been taken of all the factors involved in the case. They denied the governments conten- ton that the sale of mileage books at reduced rates would in reality tn- crease passenger rates by stimulating travel.
 Commercial travellers organiza- tions, intervening on behalf of the or der, told the court that dscontinu- ance of the mileage book privilege during the war had resulted in ma terial reduction of the road forces of commercial houses, and that a restor- ation of the practice would impel n corresponding increase in such travel.
 Walton Lores Appeal.
 The supreme court today declined to permit former Governor John c. Walton of Oklahoma to bring up for review direct from the legislature the impeachment proceedings which re- suited in his removal from office.
 The case which the court acted up- on was distinct from another recently appealed from a decision of the fed eral district court for western Okla homa, but 1t may have a controlling effect upon the entire proceedings
 Decisions Reversed.
 The supreme court reversed today the decision of the lower court in the case brought by the district attorney of New York against Edward M Fuller and William F. McGee. who did business as l.. M Fuller .& Co.
 The lower court recislon in the case brought by New York county officials against tho bankrupt firm af s. S. Ruskay x Co.,, also was reversed.
