HIGH TENNIS RANKING
FOR TILDEN, MOODY
New Rule of U. S. Net Body Apt
TO Put Pair at Top on Foreign
Play Basis.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 13.-Na-
tional tennis rankings in the future will
be made on the basis of play abroad as
well as the home under a new ruling
approved by the United States Lawn
Tennis Association.
The U. S. L. T. Is action was inter-
preted in some quarters as paving the
way for the ranking of Big Bill Tilden
and Mrs. Helen Mills Moody as this
country's No. aces during the 1880
season.
Tilden played magnihcently abroad,
winning the Wimbledon title, but failed
to appear to advantage when he re-
turned home, losing in the National
championship to Johnny Doeg. Mrs.
Moody was unbeaten in foreign cam
paign, but did not defend her American
title.
The rankings will be submitted for
approval at the annual meeting of the
U. S. L. T. A. in February.

BASKET BALL TIPS
BY SOL METZGER.

Lon Jourdet, PENIS champion
ship basket ball coach Of a decade
ago. who is again in charge, tells me
that this sport differs from foot ball
in that there are no hide-bound
plays. Thus, when we refer to
Iowa's set plays we mean that, while
to the individuals to vary them in
order to score. That is why there
are many varieties to every play
It's UP to each individual to do one
of several things, the right one in
particular, when the attack centers
around him.
Left guard, No. 4, again has the
ball. AS in the play shown yester-

Sutherland Attacks Alaska Governor on Floor, of
 House Tn Debate

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. H. By 167 to 163 vote the House has rejected the proposed salary increase for the Governor of AL aska from S7o00 to $10.00O an- nually.
 Representative John E. Rankin, Democrat of Mississippi, led the opposition.
 Delegate Sutherland said he was neutral because he did not want to be in a position of opposing increased compensation for any, body, but for the Governor we have, s5,00O is enough. A salary of $10,000, in my opinion, would inject courage into our spineless Alaska Governor
 Delegate Sutherland said Gov. Parks is afraid to raise his voice" because of the domination of the Justice and Commerce Depart ments."
 Representative Rankin contended the Governors of many States more populous and wealthier than Alaska received less salary than the Ter ritorial Executive.

 Held Without Bail

Charged with murder in the first degree, John Fassett, Haines In- dian, was arrested last night by Deputy United States Marshals w. E. Feero and Frank Price. The arrest was made on telegraphic warrant from Haines charging him with killing Ed Donnelly.

 Capt. Dencn was presented to the Chamber by President w. w Council and in turn the former introduced Lieut.. J. A. Hirshfield, Executive Officer, Ensign c. G Bowman, Dr. H. A. Hand, Public Health Service, and Lieut.. B. E Moody, Navigator. Lieut.. R. H French, gunnery officer, was de- tained aboard on duty. Other guests were: w. J.

 Capt. Dench said he left the frigid climate of the Chesapeake to come to the mild and clement eli mate of Alaska, adding in humor- ous vein: T suppose it's safe to talk about the weather; safer, at any rate, than talking about for eign dictator"

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. l2.- As the count stands today, 48 Re- publicans, AT Democrats and one Farmer-Laborite are entitled to answer There" when Vice President Curtis pounds his gavel to start the first full roll call of the Sen- ate in the Seventy Congress.
 Exactly when that will be Is uncertain. Which party will con- trol is doubtful, despite an appar- ent Republican absolute majority of one. That margin rests on the power of the Vice President to vote to break a tie.
 There may be only 46 Democrats for the next year. Governor Long of Louisiana, Senator -elect, has for mally communicated his purpose not to take his seat until his state term expires in 1892.
 Or there might be a further break of Republican irregularity sufficient to shift the balance the other way.
 Last Reorganization in 1919
 There has been no political re- organization of the Senate since the special session of the 66th Con- gress in May, 1919 That followed the elections of 1918 in which the Republicans won a Senate majority of two.
 As a continuing body, the Senate has no organization session at the opening of each new Congress as is the case with the house.
 There was a substantial Republi- can majority in the House of the 66th Congress-; and no irregulars in the Senate so classified. When the Senate convened, May 2, Sena- tor Lodge, Republican and, up to that day, minority leader, offered a resolution to establish formally Republican control of the Senate. It named Senator Cummins of
  Iowa, Republican, as President pro tempore.
 Insurgents Caused Shift
 Senator Martin of Virginia Democratic leader, countered with an amendment proposing to sub stitute the name of Senator Pitt man of Nevada, Democrat. The only roll call vote of the reorgani- zation came on that amendment.
 It was defeated, 42 to AT, with six Senators absent and paired. Two leaders of the Republican Insurgent bloc of the Senate today, Borah and Norris, and Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, father of the present
