To Play Tournament
Games In New ArmOry
Laramie Republican,

The urnamen committee decid-
ed yesterday afternoon that the High
school basketball games during High
School Week will be played in the
new Armory adjoining and part of
the new gymnasium, now under con
struction or the campus.
A temporary floor will be placed
in the area, which is 100x14O feet.
and this floor will be enclosed with
partitions so that the audience will
be able to enjoy the games in a
warm atmosphere. The playing space
will be approximately so by 40 feet,
which will obviate all the objections
to the VIGOROUSLY small floor in the
old gymnasium. In addition to the
preparation for the floor and the
provisions for dressing the teams
and providing heat for both players
and spectators. the seating capacity
will be greatly increased, giving
plenty of room for all who wish to
see the contests. The contractors
we're at work this morning cleaning
up the area and laying the stringers
in cement for the floor. and the i'm
provised area will be turned over to
the tournament committee several
days before the time for the first
game. Inc reputation DledCuer VIII
be used for the seats. the lumber
from the stadium seats being avail
able for the seats themselves, and
the expectation is that with the vast
amount of space, the gate receipts
will be increased and the teams will
receive a much larger rebate than in
previous years. The rebates to the
teams have gradually decreased
from y"Hr to year, owing to the
cost of entertaining the high school
visitors, uAtil now many schools can
not afford to come to the tourna-
ment unless some guarantee of eX-
penses is indicated in the rebates,
which of course come from the gate
receipts. With the new gymnasium
partly constructed, it seems quite
reasonable to believe that a success
full tournament IAN be conducted in
the Armory, which will be especially
prepared for hat event. The pub
lie will at least have plenty of room
the playing space will be much
larger. and while the teams will be
fences. as would naturally appear
under the circumstances. the COM
mittee believe the movement is the
only possible solution to several cm-
barrassing questions.

WATERS STILL RISING.
Seven Bridges Washed Away, With
Others Threatened.

RICHMOND, Va, Nav 13-Al
though the crest of the freshest in
virtually every river and stream in
Virginia was thought to have been
reached during last night, the Shen-
andoah was still rising early today
and government forecasters predicted
the James river at Richmond would
go two or three feet higher before
it began to recede. The Shenandoah.
Tappahannock, Rivanna and tribu
tary streams were reported falling.
The James river, after rising to
thirty-one feet at Columbia and nine
teen and one-tenth feet at Lynch
burg, was reported falling at those
places today.
The greatest damage reported was
sustained at Charlottesville where
loss was estimated at over $500, ,000
The Rivanna river was twenty five
feet above normal; seven bridges
have been washed away; several
manufacturing plants were flooded
and others had been forced to shut
down and the city was without cleo
trio lights and street car service as
a result of the high waters.
In the Shenandoah valley, where
the Shenandoah River is higher than
it has been in fifty years. roads are
covered with from six inches to six
feet Of water. Many stores and resi-
dences have been flooded. Inhabi-
tants of the low lands spent the day
moving their possessions to higher
land. Storm warnings were received
in time to allow farmers to remove
all live stock to safety but agricul-
tural and garden crops were wiped
out.
Many bridges along the Shenandoah
are reported in danger. Southern
and Norfolk and Western tracks are
under from four to six feet OF water
which has risen two feet above the
tracks on the Southern bridge.

SENATE CONSIDERING
APPROPRIATION BILL
Phipps Seeks to Expedite Measure
and Urge Committee Action on
Cramton Proposal.

Consideration of the District appro-
priation bill by the Senate subcom-
mittee of the committee on appro-
priations was begun at o'clock this
afternoon. Senator Phipps of Colo
rado, chairman of the subcommittee
before going into the meeting said
that, it was his purpose to expedite
the bill.
The District Commissioners and the
auditor for the District met with the
committee this afternoon, for the pur-
pose of explaining the need of in
cluding in the bill some of the items
which were eliminated during it's con-
sideration in the House committee of
the whole.
1t was expected that the District
Commissioners would lay before the
committee also their reasons for their
opposition to the so-called Cramton
amendment, which does away with
the 60-40 plan of appropriating for
the District and substitutes a lump
sum contribution of $S,000,000 by the
federal government to aid in the up
keep of the National Capital during
the coming fiscal year.
Senator Phipps, who is known to
oppose the change in the law pro-
posed by the Cramton amendment,
said today that the committee would
determine when il met what course
should be adopted with regard to the
consideration of the Cramton amend
ment.
