NOME WINS SECOND GAME OF SERIES BASKETBALL
 WITH "NORTHLAND"

Nome met the coast guard cut ter Northland on the basketball floor at the big Eagle hall again after being defeated two weeks earlier, last Wednesday evening. However, the Nome boys stalked onto the floor the second time in much deeper frame of mind with do or die, written all ov- CT their persons.
 Much enthusiasm prevailed at the first game but when both teams had taken the floor Wednesday night, greater crowd than ev- CT was on hand to give them rousing send-off before the game started. The Northland team was mnus their tall center, Betzmer, who contributed so much in the first game, to bringing about a Nome defeat. Everyone was key ed up and the coast guard had brought along fifty or sixty of their loyal shipmates. Lieut.. Com and Jack Dowd of Nome were the floor officials and Clement from the Northland and Lewis from Nome were the score-keepers. John Treichler of Nome officiated as time-keeper.
 The game was called at 9:30 pm. and then the action began. The Northland almost immediat- ely slipped thru for two points, but Nome quickly retaliated and put thru a couple for themselves.
 The first quarter was rapidly nearing the close when both teams cut loose for couple more baskets and brought the score Nome s, Northland 6. With the beginning of the second quarter interest mounted and the play got faster and faster, both teams checking up well and attempting to con vert each others blunders into scores The second quarter end ed with Nome 16, Northland 15,
 The spectators by this time had whipped their enthusiasm up to a fine pitch and all during the intermission yells and cross-remarks skidded across the floor in good hearted rivalry.
 The Northland came on the floor in the third period in good condition and immediately proceed ed to jump at Nome for everything they had in them. Play again was called and away went the boys to more field goals. Spectacular shots and freak plays characterized the play during the entire third per iod. When the quarter was over the score stood Nome 22, North land 21.
 The fourth quarter opened with rush and both teams increased their pace to an abnormal degree. But the Northland had team to contend with which played it's re- gular games in weather at forty degrees below Zero and had ob- tained the championship of Sinrock Cape Prince of Wales and all points west therefrom. The Nome boys put there offensive into action and rolled over the floor for 10 more points in the last quarter while

ALABAMA ELEVEN
 FAVORED ID WIN
Football Rivals Complete Train
 ing for Game Tomorrow

Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 3l (UP)- Ala bama continued to rule to 1 favorite over Washington State as the Tournament of Roses football rivals completed training today for their battle in Rose Bowl tomorrow before a crowd of 80.000. The rival coaches, Orin E. (Babe) Hollingbery of Washington State and Wallace Wade of Alabama, re- ported their respective squads in tip-top physical condition and ready for the struggle.
 My men mentally and physically are prepared for their greatest game of the season." said Hollingbery. "Alabama's ready" said Wade.
 Only light workouts were sched- uled for today Hollingbery plan ned to keep his squad on the field less than 30 minutes.
 With more than 7O.O00 seats al- ready sold, the largest crowd ever 10 see a Tournament of Roses game is forecast. The record of 73,000 was set at the Southern California Pittsburgh game last January ]. Since then the Rose Bowls seating capacity has been increased to S5,- 900.
 Absence of Washington State packers has resulted in few bets, with odds likely to soar higher on Alabama before tomorrow. Ala bama's impressive showing in work outs, and their fortunate showing in two previous Rose Bowl games, de- feating Washington 20-13 and tying Stanford TT. has lined up the far vests football fans almost solidly behind the Crimson tide.
 In many ways the Tournament af Roses battle is following the same pre- game course of the Notre Dame- Southern California contest. Ger tainly two better football teams than Notre Dame and Washington State never were rated as low as this pair before big games.
 In 13 previous Tournament of Roses games, the underdog has won nine times. The only two favorites to win were Harvard and Notre Dame.

CARAWAY PLAYS
 DRY LAW GROUP
Calls Hoover Good President in
 Only One State

Washington, Dec. S1.-UP)-A sharp attack upon the administra- tion's record in prohibition enforce ment and the tactics of President Hoover's law enforcement Commis- sion has been made by Senator T. H. Caraway. At the same time the Arkansas democrat, noted for his group that wants to force an extra session of congress.
 CaraWay, who for the most part has been in the background since the lobby investigating committee flare-ups of the preceding session. directed a savage assault last night against the commission and against both republicans and members of his own party who oppose an extra con- grcssional session after March 1 next.
 In response 10 a question, Caraway said in an interview he would not hesitate 10 accept the responsibility of forcing an extra session if that were possible. He offered to join any group in the senate to that end.
 session Bloc Grows
 The extra session bloc is expand ing. Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, is an active member, Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, Sena tor Brookhart, republican, Iowa, Senator La Toilette, republican, Wis consin, and some others on that side of the chamber are counted as po- tential members.
 CaraUay said he thought he would have support of such democratic senators as Walsh, Montana, Wag- nor, New York, Wheeler, Montana, and perhaps Dill, Washington.
 Debate on any document receiver from the WickcrshaU commission would add to the possibility of delay in voting routine funds and the necessity for summoning congress after March 1. The commission met yesterday and another session was scheduled for today. Informed sena- tors assert it's prohibition report will reach congress January 6.
 Hays Hoover
 Unless they have reached con- clusions and form ulated suggestions for improved enforcement of the prohibition law" Caraway said, "A report on prohibition will be valuelcss.
 T may be doing the commission a grave injustice. but if newspaper reports are to be relied upon, it is largely a debating society. I think by the time Mir. Hoover is through modifying the prohibition law to enable the people of California to make wine out of their grapes, he will have abolished prohibition in that state, leaving it in effect in only 47.
 "But we oughtn't to begrudge MT. Hoover being good president in one state. He has failed in the other 47. I suppose it would be too much to ask him 10 ruin the only industry which has thrived under his admin istration-thc bootlegging industry"

CHRISTMAS CARDS CAUSE ACRID FIGHT
Hyde and CaraHay Battle Over
 Franking Privilege

Washington, Dec. 31 R1Sweetly worded greetings for merry Christmas and happy New Year had given rise today to an acrimonious exchange involving mention of starving babies, political motives and economy.
 Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar kansas, opened it by saying he had received information that Secretary of Agriculture Hyde sent his Christ mas cards out postage free under the franking privilege extended of- ficial business.
 Hyde replied he had not. The cards sent under frank, he said, were from the department to those who had aided its work during the year and to members of the senate and house agriculture committees.
 An official of the post office de- partment said a few cards not en- titled to frank had been sent over from Hyde's office through an office error but that the small amount of postage due had been paid im- mediately the mistake was discov- cred.
 Mentions Relief Opposition
 Tn bringing up the matter. Cara way said Hyde was opposed to using government money to succor starving babies in drought ridden states but I understand he used it to send out Christmas cards"
 Hyde said sufficient proof that the franked cards were official greet ings only "can be adduced from the fact that Senator Caraway received one"
 "The number of these cards sent out this year." he continued, was about 300. The postage would have been about SIS.
 The senator's interest In starving babies is very touching. It is hard to see how the payment of SIS to the post office department bJ this department would have changed the status of any babies-whcthcr starv- ing or otherwise. The senator's in- terest in such babies is. I am in clined to believe, both academic and political
 Such cards, he added, have been sent out for 10 years and he had not been required by postal inspec- tors to pay back "a lot of postage or cent of postage" To clear up the matter. the secretary announced he was sending sample of the or fcial greeting to the postal authori- ties with request for a ruling on whether it was entitled to travel postage free.

|DURAN7 FORECASTS
 END 0F PESSIMISM
Philosopher Believes Dark
 Thinking Will Pass Away

At meeting of the Woman's club
 of New Britain yesterday afternoon at the Masonic temple. Dr. Will
 Durant, author of the Story of
 Philosophy" spoke on 'Is Progress Real?''
 pr. Durant opened his talk by
 saying that it is the fashion today for all who speak or write to take most pessimistic view of the pro-
 gress and ultimate end of the hu-
 man race. Pessimism has always
 been one aspect of thought and the present brand is but an echo of that which has gone before, he said. In 1895, France had had her revolution that was to bring order and peace to the realm, had had Napoleon and then Waterloo. Pessimism was in the air. None of the great hopes had been fulfilled. Goethe and Schopen- hauer. writing at that time, forecast only the most dire events and the latter had even counseled universal suicide as d remedy. Five years pass ed. In 1880, a new generation sprang up and genius blossomed in Paris garrets. The names on the European tongue were Gautier. Balzac, Paine, Hugo, Dickens, Thackeray, Tenny- son, Carlyle and host of others. Exuberance and optimism were in order. Pessimism was forgotten.
 The present wave Of pessimism Il1y end as did the last Dr. Durant said. The thing we must realize IS that each age sees an upward trend in belief" he declared. we are realiz- ing that wealth and power do not in themselves mean progress. Bacon said Knowledge is power That is fallacious, in that knowledge is neu- tral and can either kill for you or heal for you. But knowledge is only real when it can bring kindliness and beauty, understanding and peace to the soul. Each age is draw ing on the experience of the past in achieving this end.
 Let us accept pessimistic view of the rise and fall of great nations. " . irNilo HiSdsC tlihN i-6N Pt' oiSNN' and Rome have lost their material splendor. We may agree with the European writer who says that Europe shows the same signs of de- cadence that led to the fall of Rome. Materially they have gone. But Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Homer and Virgil are as alive now and perhaps more widely understood than ever before. Let US consider genius. in any line of endeavour as the history of the race. Let us agree with the pessin1ist in that material splendor has gone. but let us go farther than that and embrace a larger belief, that mankind has learned from the past and that average man in each successive generation is better for what went before. Rising and falling states are but the instruments for mankind's development
 "The essential history of man is civilization"
 Dr. Durant closed his talk by say ing that the important milestones in mans development were speech, dis covery of fire and light, conquest of animals, passing from hunting 10 agriculture, social organization and consequent betterment physically, and morally, invention, scl- encs, writing and education. Ameri- ca, on the ascendant today as the next world power will be noted for its efforts in education. It will be mart of the contribution 10 the llS- tory and progress of mankind.
