WHY NOT SILK FACTORY
AT PRIEST RAPIDS?

CATURDAY the Great Northern
- railway hauled $780, 900 worth
Of raw silk thru this state on it's jour-
ney east to the silk factories. With
all the power that is going to waste
at Priest Rapids, why this long haul?
There were 43 cars in the four special
trains. Each train conveyed $780,
900 worth of silk, Or $282,O00 per car.
They received their cargo at the In
ter-Bay dock at Seattle and tried to
beat passenger train time across each
state. Why all this hurry when we
have the facilities right here in
Washington for the manufacture of
silk. -Sunnyside Sun.

The above editorial appeared in
the Sunnyside Sun last week. The
EDITORS idea is right, but he has the
wrong bunch as to where the factory
should be located. If he'd mentioned
Kennewick instead of Priest Rapids
as the location for the mills, he would
have been correct in every detail.
Here we have the people, the climate,
the transportation, the power, the
water and the willingness to take on
the job.

THE EFFECT OF ADVERTISING

The report of the publicity com mittee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce on the results of the na- tional advertising campaign gives some interesting figures on auto mobile travel. To the casual ob- server it was apparent that virtual ly every state in the Union was rep resented in the stream of motor cars that came to Puget Sound du- ring the 1925 season, but there is more than ordinary interest in the list of cars registered here.
 By far the greater number of out-of-state cars came from Cali fornia. More than 38,000 automo- piles from the state to the south- ward were driven to the Puget Sound country. In all, 56,890 cars : were registered from other states. A few came from overseas. The Canal Zone sent seven,r Hawaii sew enty-six.- New Zealand three, and Australia one.
 A year. ago the Seattle Chamber of Commerce joined with the civic organizations of Victoria, evancou- yer, B. O.; Bellingham and Tacoma in raising fund of s33,000 to be expended in California to advertise the Evergreen Playground of Pu- get Sound and British Columbia. lFThef fesults rwerer entirely satisfac- ? tory. u

 The work of the high school has been seriously interfered with dur ing the past week on account of the number out nursing the flu or bad colds. Seventeen percent of the high school enrolment were out at one time. Practice on the play to be given the seventeenth of next month has had to be call ed off temporarily. until the par ticipants are able to get back to school.
 In place of the basketball game that was to have been played last week between the high school team and the Wrangell town team, a game between the high school team and the "has-beens' has been scheduled for Saturday evening, March 27th.

 pal address at the meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association last Tursday night. His theme was the prevention of sickness and disease among children. His ad- vice would save thousands of dollars worth of doctors bills if followed by the parents of the community. He said that there was practically no excuse what ever for any of the diseases com mon to children, with the exeep- tion of measles, for which the medical profession has found no preventative However they could be almost entirely eliminated by care in avoiding exposure and strict quarantine. In it's after eff fects, he said measles was one of the worst of all childhood diseases and made the person having it many times more susceptible to tuberculous. Practically all other diseases can be prevented by vac- cination and antitoxins If care is taken of the common cold most of the other troubles would not develop, he eontended. They re- suit in tonsil infections which in turn cause great deal of other serious trouble. The tonsils no longer serve any real use, there may have been a time when 1t was a barrier against germs but in the modern it has deteriorated into only a germ catcher. pr. Clark's principal emphasis throughout was upon the fact that there is no valid excuse for epidemics and diseases if only intelligent pre- cautionary measures such as vac cination, etc., were resorted to.

policy of only passive resistance" to
alleged control of Americas partici-
patton in the 1928 Olympic meet by
the A. A. u. has been decided upon
by the National Collegiate Athletic
Association, which has followed the
lead of the National Amateur Ath-
letic Federation in Withdrawing from
the American Olympic Association.
Nevertheless, it is the expressed
belief of Brig. Gen. Palmer T.. Pierce,
president Of the n. G. \. A., that
the A. A. U. cannot succeed in it's
efforts to perpetuate it's system of
control upon amateur sports
Describing it as "un American"
he maintains that athletics have be-
come too completely organized to
require that athletes should sign
registration cards and pay fees to
the y. A. L. before they can COM
pete in the olympic games.
Referring to alleged misbehaVior

Mercer of Swarthmore, COM
petitor, said there was too much
gambling among the athletes" as
well as drunkenness after they had
finished participation in their par

exercises no specific control over

But the eyes must stay on the bali

boy will try to find the basket in
advance, in his anxiety to get the ball
Gagged. He'll seldom cage it that way,
for once his eyes leave the ball the
chances are good that he will miss
the pass.
Catching the ball and lining up the
basket are two distinct operations and
each must be executed separately.
The rule is to keep the eyes on the
ball and then shoot, pivot, pass or
dribble, as the occasion may cali for.
Most of these common mistakes of
the young player occur under the bas-
ket. In the middle of the floor I find
that he is more apt to follow the rule
and keep his eyes glued on the bail
until it is there, but near the basket
it's different.
Now and then an outfelder in base

BASKET BALL

Teamwork is usually responsible
for a teams victories in basket
ball, and it was teamwork that
won for Utah Aggies the Rocky
Mountain Conference titles last
season, teamwork that was CEN
tered around the play of Nelson, a
forward. Nelson won his place
on this All-Conference team too,
though he had few baskets to his
credit compared to other players.
This team stressed OffenSe all
season, working on the theory that
a strong offenSe is the best de-
Tense. They most aSSuredly proved
it, Nelson's usefulness consisted
in his ability TO start the offense.
He would get the ball anywhere on
the court and start the drive by
reason Of his splendid passing.
Nelson used the push pass most
Of the time, a most accurate one
that eliminates time to a great ex-
tent, as the ball is caught with a
slight giving motion of the arms
that is the start of the next pass.
His method of maxim this pass is

Utah's methods of passingFthe ball

Shift Action Scored.
Foot Ball Coaches Association
agreed to suggest to the rules com
mittee that q two-second interval
between shifts and the swapping of
the ball be made compulsory in the
code. William Roper, member of
the rules committee and also a coach,
promised TO lend his influence in the
meets.
That coaches should sit as members
Of the rules committee has always
struck the writer as rather an
anomalous and in many ways an
absurd situation. But waving this
point as a matter for discussion, one
may wonder that the Coaches AS
ISOLATION has so little regard for the
intelligence of the rules makers as to
believe it will seriously accept a
ridiculous gesture such as this.
Either Good or Bad.
Either the shift is good or it is
bad, and If it is bad it should be
thrown out bodily, no words minced.
In effect the Coaches Association
has decided that it is bad, and in
stead of coming out honestly and
voting that in the opinion of this or
ganization it should be cast on to the
junk pile, the suggestion is made for
stipulation which if 1t became a
rule would make the shift worthless,
and, besides, a mere waste of time.
If two seconds must elapse between
the Encouragement of positions and
the swapping of the ball. of what
avail will be these shift plays? Even
under the rule as 1t work now, Pitts
burgh players found themselves able
to employ a defensive counter shift
against West Virginia, and If West
Virginia were In motion on the shift,
so was Pitt in defending against it.
Fifty-fifty.
The writer believes that far from
following the naive suggestion of the
coaches, the rules committee will act
like men and either throw the shift
out or retain it as it is.

By the Associated Press.
n VIEW YORK, December 31.-ln-
tercollegiate foot ball emerged
NJ almost intact today from a
1 critical examination of four
days by officials, coaches and
professors from all parts of the
country.
Slight changes to check the shifting
and budding of some teams have
been favored, but the general tone of
the meetings has been one of satisfac-
ton with the game as reaching the
highest level in gridiron history.
Summing up the situation, Edward
K Hall, chairman of the national
foot ball rules committee, told
the National Collegiate A. A. that the
1926 campaign brought forth bet
ter line plunging, better end-running,
more diversified strategy and gener-
ally better and more successful car
rying of the ball than in any season
before" No radical changes in the
rules are necessary, he said.
Defending overhead foot ball as re-
sponsibIe for this condition, he MAIN
tanned that the 5-yard incomplete
forward pass penalty has had a
wholesome influence in checking to
some extent, at least, excessive use
Of the pass" He noted the fact that
smaller colleges held their own in
matches with teams of large insti-
buttons, and expressed the belief that
the game as it now stands presents
an almost unlimited opportunity for
strategy"
Reforms Suggested.
Suggestions for several reforms
came out of the n. c. A. A. meeting,
some of which had been previously
approved by coaches and officials
Outstanding among them was a
