BAsKETBALL H|GHL|GHTs

The stragetic move of the evening was the injecting into the game of Nichols to guard Larson. Larson had started the game off with bang shooting two field baskets in rapid succession but Nichols fine defen- sive play positively stopped the fast Seward forward for the first three quarters.
 The girls are very evenly matched. The visitors basket shooting was more accurate last evening than the locals. In the first half the locals lost shot after shot when the ball verged falling one way or the other. In rapid succession, during the early part of the game the visitors shots slid in cleanly The stars on the Seward girls team last night were Harrison. Lars son and Mcintosh.
 Few of the spectators were aware of the fact that Roberta Mcintosh entered the game with the beginning of an abcess on the left side of her neck. Draw your own conclusion as to whether she's a game little girl or not.
 In justice to the Anchorage girls each and every one are deserving of special mention but until she took the count of ten Ruth Carlson, playing her first years game, was, in the opinion of many, the out standing star.
 Lily Hedberg was another one of the visitors who served up a brand of playing seldom witnessed on the local floor.
 Gertrude Nelson was in the game every minute. Carlson to Nelson or the reverse was the order of the evening.
 The little Snodgrass girl ejected much "pep" in the old game.
 Then there were Jean Staser and Olga Strandburg, both of whom handled their positions in excellent shape.

Friends of Gov. Lowden are seeking
to turn the Corn Belt and Southern
Farm Conference, now in session in
ST. Louis, into a Lowden-for-Presid
meeting. Gov. Adam McMullen Of
Nebraska is one of these. In an ad.
dress delivered yesterday, the Ne
braska governor again paid his re-
spects to the Progressive group of
Senators. which is urging the nom-
ination of Senator George Norris, and
particularly to Senator Borah. Nc
Mullen charged that the Idaho Sena.
tor sought to divide the Western, farm
ers in the interest of Eastern reac-
tionaries. through his advocacy of the
nomination of Senator Norris.
Mr.. Lowden's candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for President is
bound up with the McNaryHaugen
farm bill and its equalization fee
principle-that is. in the agricultural
West. His support of that measure
cannot help him in the East. The
friends of that particular kind of bill
for farm aid have undertaken to make
the campaign for that measure and
for Lowden's nomination synonymous.
And in doing so they may have made
political blunder. Some of the sup
porters of the McNary.Haugen bill
are by no means friendly to the nom-
iration Of Mr.. Lowden, on the ground
that he is not dyed-in-the-wo
Progressive. Hence the Progressive
group in the Senate is already show
ing its teeth at the mention Of Mr..
Lowdens name.
IL the coming Congress should sue.
ceed in passing farm legislation that
is satisfactory to the farmers of the
West. and there seem better and
brighter chances than in the past, Mr..
Lowden and the McNary. Haugen BILL
as originally written. pass out of the
political picture next year. That
would not suit either Mr.. Lowden or
many of the supporters of the Nc.
Haugen bill.
1t Is becoming doubtful that either
the friends of the McNary.Haugen bill
or the friends of Mr.. Lowden took the
wisest step when they placed the
passage of the bin and Mr.. Lowden's
nomination in the same basket. Mr..
Lowden has lost caste in the East with.
out gaining the solid support of the
West. The McNary.Haugen bill sup.
porters are beginning to fear that pos
sibiy the Lowden candidacy may have
something to do with the passage of
another farm aid bill.
1t is pity that farm aid, which is
really needed, should be so intertwined
with the political situation. But it
seems unavoidable. Sooner or later,
every issue in this country is han.
died politically. After all. the only
manner in which the people can deal
with important issues is through the
ballot box. With the farmers them
selves divided over the McNary.
Haugen bill, the situation either for
Mr.. Lowden or for the McNary.
Haugen bill does not appear the best.
