DISTRICT dope ON THE
BASKET BALL SERlES
M. J. H. Sports Editor

The Challis High School girls suf'
fered a hard defeat at the hands Of
the Salmon girls casaba squad last
{ Friday night on the local court The
score was very close and the game
fast The fual counting, however,
revealed 16 TO Is score.
Much disturbance is being caused
by the contest which the Moore High
School Is staging against the Arco
High School in connection with the
last conference game which was play
ed on the Arco court The game was
to decide the championship of the
lsub-district; consequently its result
was vital. The Moore team charges
Arco with numerous offensus: coach
ing from the side lines, unfair refer
eeing, and many other things. If
the dispute is not settled immediate
ly. it will cause much harship and
unnecessary work for the district
championship team, because time Is
limited and funds must be raised to
send the winning team to Moscow
to the State meet, which is to be
held Mar Il When the dispute Is
settled it is thought that the district
tournament will be held in Mackay
next Friday and Saturday. The Ma
rooms, however, are still practising
hard and are keeping in training for
the final deciding game.
A summary is given below of the
results of the basket ball season as
was staged with the Challis High
School:

OF
SPEEDWAY BILL
EXPECTED SOON
House May Get Measure
First With Senators Re
ported Cautions.

Introduction of measure to pro
hibit holding of the Indianapolis
Speedway race on Memorial day will
take place within few days, it was
indicated in legislative circles to-
day. Backers of the bill are under
stood to be seeking some one to in
troduce it.
Exact form of the measure, and
It's provisions, was a matter Of con-
siderable douot. Due to the fact
that the hottest fight of the 1928
session soccasioned passage of the
Moorhead anti Speedway bill. al
though subsequently vetoed by Gov
ernor McCray. plans for the, pres
ent contest have been carefully laid.
Two Bills Drafted
The Anti-Saloon League and the
G. A. r. 1t is understood, have
drafted two bills. one of which could
be used as a substitute in case the
other were rejected. One Of the
bills would prohibit any "com-
mercialized' sport on Memorial Day
between 9 a. m. and 8 p. m. The
other would place observance Of
Memorial day under the current
laws governing observance Of Sun
day. Either would affect the Speed
way, although neither mentions that
enterprise.
Reported failure Of proponents Of
anttSpeedway legislation to find a
Senator willing to introduce the bill
has caused observers to believe 1t
would be offered in the House,
where its chances of passage would
be better Senator Robert L. Moor
head, indianapolis, introduced tbs
measure in the Senate in 1928, but
has declined accepting sponsorship
this session.
Updike Switched
Ex- Representative Ralph E. Up
dixie, now ongressman-elect, was
father Of the bill in the House, in
1923, but suddenly switched to the
point of becoming it's bitterest
enemy on third reading. Intense
support of the measure in 1928 is
acknowledged to have blasted the
political hopes Of more than one
aspirant for reelection.
