Conflicting stories of the affair

cock provided Hyslop with a signed
statement covering his version of the
shooting in which he says that he
had twice purchased booze from
Harris and that Harris had liquor in
his possession when the shooting
occurred. Further details of Bah

previously related in the newspapers
are said to have been repeated IN
B,bcock's statement However. news
o,oer men have not had access to
the statement given Hyslop and the
version OF its contents is based on
the statement of the prosecuting
attorney.
Mr.. Harris is still in the Mercy

as out of danger but he is not re-

expected and he is still seriously i'll

imbedded in his right lung.
Conflicting with Babcock's story
are versions given by Harris himself,
BY his wife and another witness OF
the affair. They aver that Harris
had neither gun nor booze, that he
made no threatening movements
which might have led Babcock to
believe Harris was about to pull a
gun, and agree that Harris, m his
shrt-sleeves, had turned his back on
the officer and was walking away
toward his wife when Babcock shot

CALDwELL's SCHEDULE


y y
With five games definitely on the
schedule for this season, Caldwell
high school will play four schools
OF this district on the Caldwell held.
Boise at Boise on November y was
the only game to be scheduled Saiur-
day by Coach Bill Garten. local high
school mentor. to be played on
foreign field.
Three dates remained open on the
locals calendar as a result OF the
coaches conference held at Shepperds
cafe here last Saturday. or these
dates. one will probably be filled with
Ontario and other dates may be used
to schedule games with teams in the
southern and eastern part OF the
state.
Plans for the formation of major
league" among southern Idaho schools
failed completely Saturday whc II
Nampa objected on the ground that
such games were certain to be
financial liabilities However. with
Boise already scheduling two games
with Oregon schools and likely to
play eastern Idaho teams in addi-
ton. and with the probability that
Caldwell high school will meet at
least one and perhaps two representa-
tive out-of- -this-district teams. the
idea has gained foothold and may
become feature of future years
schedules.
Ditch Series
Elimination of the compulsory fea-
ture of post season championship
games between district winners was
the next outstanding thing accomp-
lished by coaches here Saturday when
eight of the IL schools in this dis
trict were represented. Dissatis-
faction with the plan now in vogue
was expressed, the discussion being
led by Seth Freer of Boise. Whether
or not the championship winners OF
this district will play other district
winners following the regular season
is left entirely in the hands OF the
pennant taking team.
Athletic relations between Nampa
and Boise were severed at the meet
ing Saturday as a result OF a row
over a baseball game last spring
which Nampa won. Boise declined to
fit Nampa in her football schedule
and Boise's representatives indicated
that, acting under direction from Boise
school authorities, there would be no
Nampa- Boise high school athletic
contests OF any kind this year.
Doane is Chosen
Weiser Institute was admitted INTO
the league on a par with member high
school except that, because the state
interscholastic athletic constitution
prohibits it, this school cannot WIN
the championship. Ontario teams VIII
be played as in former years, being
merely practice" contests without
importance in determining the dis
trict championship.
officials fees were set at a maxi
mum of $40 per game. To be eligible
TO claim the district championship
football team must play at least
four other teams in the district, was
another decision reached Saturday.
Emery Doanc, head of the Parma
schools. was chosen head OF the
league to succeed J. J. Rae OF Cald-
well. Basketball. i, was decided, will
continue this year on last years basis,
with tournament following the
regular schedule.
