Depression Passing

United States Is fundamentally
sound, because its vast resources re-

Texas has the same resources
The same OIL fields. the same fertile
lands, the same cattle roaming the
ranges the same fields OF cotton
and corn. the same fields OF wavinA
wheat she has always had, and SIT
has the same strong and sta.warl

MES. Don't tell me that the outlook
OF this state is discouraging'.
In a semi-economic discussion 81

Northwestern FIVE

Early Pick to Bag Championship
in 9th Annual Series That
Opens Tonight.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 5-Wisconsin
and Illinois will open the Western Con-
ference's twenty eighth basket ball
championship campaign tonight at
Champaign.
The schedule for the week includes
seven games, with probably the most
interesting to be staged at Ann Arbor
tomorrow night, when Purdue, the de-
Tending champion opens against
Michigan.
Purdue, which last season crashed
through a 10-game schedule without
Setback-the first time a team has es-
capped defeat by Big Ten foes since 1919
is rated as a contender, but North
western is the choice of the early guess
ers. The Wildcat veterans won their
five preseason games, beating Notre
Dame twice, and Alabama, Bradley and
Carleton once each, displaying scoring
power in every game except Saturday S
engagement with Notre Dame, when
they were held to 20 points
Illinois also took five straight, but
against competition not quite as tough
as Northwe stern's.
Indiana and Wisconsin have been
made the ranking contenders with
Northwestern and Purdue, with Michi-
gan, Illinois and Ohio State rated as
possibilities and Minnesota, Chicago and
Iowa figured to wind up at the bottom
of the list. Minnesota and Chicago,
however, are considerably improved over
last season.

To educate the youth of the country
in the aims of the league IS a worthy
cause to support. Those youngsters de-
string to become identified with the
local chapter can do so by getting into
communication with the president, sec
rotary or treasurer of the organiza-
ton.
NEXT Friday a conference of the
IN Maryland-District of Columbia
Council of the IZaak Walton
League will be held at the Lord Balti-
more Hotel in Baltimore. The confer
ence will convene at 10 am. and will
close with a dinner in the evening. The
mayor of Baltimore is one of the in
vited guests and it is hoped Gov. Richie
will be able to attend. DR.. M. Darcy
Magee, president of the Maryland-Dis-
trict of Columbia Council extends
cordial invitation to all to attend, re-
CARELESS of whether they are delegates.
DR.. Magee was recently notified by
headquarters in Chicago that he is to
be the leagues representative in Mary
land, Virginia and the District of Co
lumbia. He therefore extends a spe-
cial invitation to members of the league
in Virginia to attend.
HUNTING in the northern counties
i of Virginia was ended December

CONSERVATION leaders through
out the country realize that
one of the best ways to con-
serve fish and game life is to
educate the youth of the country in
that work, both boys and girls, and to
this end the Izaak Walton League of
America has turned to the Boy Scouts,
The boys and girls of today will be the
men and women of tomorrow, in whose
hands rests our national affairs. The
league and its many chapters now are
going to make a concerted drive to en-
gage the help of the youth of the United
States in their conservation programs.
In order to accomplish this end, every
chapter of the league has been granted
permission from national headquarters
at Chicago to enroll as members any
boy or girl under the age of 16 years,
such members being exempt from the
payment Of dues.
Acting under this authority, DR.. M
Darcy Magee, president of the Wash
ington D. c. Chapter of the league, cor
daily extends to every boy and girl in
ton to join the local chapter. These
young members will be instructed in the
policies and aims of the league by men
well versed in conservation work.
The name Izaak Walton naturally
turns ones thoughts to things piscato-
rial, but the Izaak Walton League is by
no means fishing organization. It's
chief aim Is to conserve the supply of

Harvey, they whisper, has been beaten

tie with Dundee will lead to a series of
American appearances by which he
hopes to force Mickey Walker, king of
the l6O-pounders, into a title bout or
else an admission that he no longer can
make the class limit. Walker has been
