ATHLETICS
(By Sulo Roterus).

Juniors, Seniors, Class Champs
The Junior boys and the Senior
girls won the inter-class champion
ship by coming through with wins
Wednesday night. The Juniors de-
feated the Freshmen 14-12 and the
Senior girls trounced the Freshmen
1928.
The wrestling bouts, Pucel-Buc-
1 covich and Observation-Disclosures, end
ed in draws. ~
The Junior girls defeated the
Sophomores 4-3.
The Freshmen surprised the Jun
iors by holding them to a 14-12
score in game replete with thrills.
The Freshmen led throughout the
| first quarter and it was not until the
/ last quarter was well under way
that the Juniors obtained the adj
vantage. With the score 1910
against them the third year men
made two rebound shots in the
closing minutes and won.
| Both teams were off in shooting
and this was especially true Of the
Juniors. In the last half they lit
orally bombarded the baskets with
shots but secured only poor per-
centage of them.
| 1t was an ideal championship
game. At the end of the first quar-
ter the Freshmen led 6-2. After
several minutes of the second quar-
ter elapsed the Juniors tied the
count 6-6. The Freshmen regained
the lead and the third quarter end
ed 1913. The first year men made
their last basket as the final period
opened. Putting all their strength
in last minute rally the Juniors
overcame the lead by making two
of food of shots.
Mr.. Baldauf refereed.
The Junior lineup included Ahola,
Roterus, forwards; Anderson, CEN
ter; Pluth, Gerzin, guards. The
Freshmen lineup: Heikkala, Pog-
orelc, forwards; Gerzin, center;
Koyisto, Maxi, guards Field goals:
Juniors+Anderson 2, Pluth 2. Rot
erus 8. Freshmen-Pogorelc s..
Koivisto 1.
The Freshmen at the outset of
their game with the Senior girls
played their older opponents on
even terms. Hard luck prevented
many possible baskets. The Seniors
did not play in their true form I'M
til the second half when they be-
gan to play the brand of ball that
made them champions.
Through superior shooting they
led at the end of the first quarter
6-1. The Freshmen were unable to
score the next period while the
Seniors added points to their
total. During the second half it
was all Seniors The Freshmen
were outscored 1872.
The Junior-Sophomore girls game
was nip and tuck battle from the
start to the finish with the Juniors
having the edge The result was
in doubt until the final whistle blew.

the Italian taxpayers unreasonable
sums; that users of public utility

the cost of taxpayers who do not

very heavily for freight must pay
taxes to maintain roads used by

One of he factors retarding road
development is lack of appreciation
of the modern science of highway
building and using.
We know too many things about
roads which are not so!
Many of our highway ideas are
twenty years behind times. We
haven't caught up with the engineer.
For instance, "all roads wear out.
The enormous money invested in
them is thus a capital loss"
Roads do not wear out. The
surface of a good road wears, of
course. So does the roof of a
house. But replacing the house
roof doesn't mean that the rest of
the house isn't good. The surface
of a road is its roof. But that
doesn't mean that the right of way,
the grade, foundation, and all the
material is any less valuable than
at first.
Trucks destroy roads. There
fore trucks should pay for roadsp'
That, too, is a fallacy. A truck no
more destroys road, when truck
and road fit, than a baby carriage
destroys garden path. It is lack
of maintenance which destroys
roads, it s allowing too light road
to be built for the traffic it will
bear, which destroys roads; it is fail
ure to enact wide tire and maximum
load laws which destroys roads.
There isn't money enough to pay
for national highways. We will all
be bankruptsw More fallacy. There
are fourteen million motor cars in
the United States. If they are
worth on an average of-$500 each
(which is am INTERESTINGLY they
represent an investment of $1,000
900, 900. Did we get bankrupt buy
ing them? We did not! Why
should we get bankrupt buying

lions will build today more national
highways than we have as yet en-
gineers and machinery to build.
Transportation has been. for us
Americans, nothing but rail and
water for all our history. Now we
are compelled to translate the word
into highways" and motors"
Motors we understand 80 highways,
as yet, we only partially compre-
|hend, and motor transport, as a
whole, is yet sealed book to most
of us. The first step in opening it
| is to get rid of fallacious thinking

Lloyd George of England says
America got most out of the war
inasmuch as it got prohibition"
The best part of this statement is
that the British statesman believes
it. He lays great stress on the
economic situation and declares that
England cannot hope to compete
with America in the future because
of the great increase in efficiency
that temperance brings. A great

If all the wealth would pay its
share of the necessary public ex-
pense, even the large expenditures
which now obtain in this country
would not be hardship to anyone.
The wealth of this country is some
where near four hundred billion
dollars-$400, 000, 900, 000-and yet
the total amount of property turned
in for taxation las year was just a
little over $129, 900, 900, 900. Tax
exempt wealth-churches schools,
and colleges as well as state and
municipal property-is valued at
probably $4,000, 100000. There is
also the much-talked-of tax-exempt
security, estimated at being close to
$12, 00O,000,000, and yet the people
who are holding these securities
are not tax dodgers; rather, they
are loaning you money at a less
rate of interest to carry forward
some public improvement. Put all
these items on one side of the scale
with $129,000,000,000 turned in
for taxation and you still have less
than one-half of our wealth which
is paying any tax whatsoever.

Government may be extravapant
but it is no more extravagant than
the people themselves. A state
ment from the Treasury Depart
ment shows that in 1921 the Ameri-
can people spent, exclusive of
automobiles, $11,254, 900, 900 for
Injuries. These included tobacco,
cosmetics. non-alcoholic beverages,
candy, jewelry, chewing gum, pleas
ure yachts, pleasure resorts, etc.
Statistics now being completed for
1928 will show this amount to be
over $13,000,000,000.
Immigrant remittances abroad
plus funds spent by American tour
lists in Europe the past year almost
equal the entire amount of money
spent on all classes of roads and
bridges in this country during the
same period. The tax bill for high
ways is not over ten per cent of
the total tax bill of the country
and yet the secretary of labor re-
ports that almost eight per cent of
our total tax bill goes to maintain
institutions to care for the socially
inadequate of foreign stock.

Considerable third party talk is
being INDUCED in throughout the
country. Forget it. There never
will be more than two functioning
parties in this countryside Repub-
ican and Democratic parties. Since
our time, we have experienced about
a dozen-more or less-of new
parties springing up but after few
months, or years, of activity have
gone the way of other fads and
frills. The same thing has applied
to all of them. At the present time
the oil stuff in Washington is max
ing some smoke and naturally there
are men in Washington who think
they are the government and direct

people are still the government and
the congressman the hired ones.
President Coolidge is big man and
will be reelected after a nomina-
ton by exclamation. The Repub-

the average American and with
Coolidge to uphold these principles
the country is safe even if the

The Opening Round Games.

In the opening round of the inter-
class basketball series Friday, the
Junior boys defeated the Seniors
9-8, the Freshmen boys. defeated
the Sophomores 17-9; the Senior
girls won from the Sophomores
10-5; and the Freshmen girls hand
ed the Juniors a 1878 licking.
The Junior-Senior game was the
best thriller of the group. The first
half was comparatively slow. The
Juniors made two field baskets
while the Seniors made free throw
making it Al for the half. Altho
both teams were content to attempt
long tries at the basket the Juniors
worked the ball in closer and made
their goals on close shots. The
second half was played at a faster
clip. With the score evening up
and both teams fighting to avoid
elimination the count see-sawed
back and forth until the whistle
blew with the Juniors on the top
of 9-8 score.
The Senior team was composed
of Grahek, Suoja, forwards; Nc
earthly, center; Turula, Rolando,
MarteH, guards. The Junior
had Mattila, Preshern, forwards;
Colombo, center; Maxi, Turula,
guards.
The Sophomores looked like sure
winners in the first minutes of their
game with the Freshmen when they
made two field goals in quick sue
cession. However, the Freshmen
gradually closed up the gap in the
score and at the end of the first
half the count was tied TT. The
Sophomores Gagged their last basket
at the opening of the second half.
Then the Freshmen began to find
the hoop for numerous tallies and
put the game on the ice.
The Senior girls showed champion
ship form in their win over the
Sophomores. The Sophomore for
wards were able to break away
from their guards only on a few
occasions. The Senior forward wall
also played good ball but had hard
luck in their shooting. The Sophie
mores put up stubborn fight
throughout the contest.
In a dope upset the Freshmen girls
surprised the Juniors with 1913
defeat. The game was hard fought
and well played. The Freshmen
took advantage of the scoring OPP
portunities given them while the
Juniors missed many easy chances
at the basket. The Freshmen jumped
into the lead from the outset and
never relinquished it although they
were closely pressed at times.
