If Minnesota can halt Northwest
ern's winning streak, the Gophers
will tie the Wildcats for the lead
and make the race a wide open af-
fair. Indiana, which was handed
an unexpected defeat by Purdue
Saturday night, can also get back
in the running by winning from
Iowa at Bloomington tonight, pro-
vided Northwestern loses.
Seven games are scheduled this
week, with every team in action ex-
cept Michigan and Ohio State.
Northwestern has a pair of games,
playing Chicago at Midway Sstur-
day after meeting Minnesota to-
night. If the Wildcats can annex
these two games it seems fairly
certain that they'll win the cage
title.
The purple quintet already has
defeated Chicago, Illinois and Ohio
State, which will be met in return
games. The two hardest games ap-
pear to be with Minnesota, as the
other two are against the admit
tedly weak Iowa five.

The all-important local question

Edwards help the locals along by
making at least part of the

Anderson has the power, height

are one of the tallest teams in the
state. They have ridden the elevator
all season, champions one night and

on record right now with the state

States Loosen Hold
On Ideals for Money

From the Savannah Morning News.
North Cardinals Senate is expected
to approve bill to permit pari-mutuel
betting at Buncombe County race
tracks. A committee already has voted
to report 1t favorably. And this is a
sign. 1t is sign of a different atti-
tude on the part of Legislatures caused
by a difference in conditions generally.
No sooner did one or two other States
indicate that they would shorten the
period Of residence required prior to
divorce than Nevada answered with a
determination to reduce its term to six
weeks.
What all these States are after Is
business, visitors, money. In boom times
they probably would not sacrifice their
ideas about divorce and betting, but
when money Is scarce people are willing
to do unusual things. Maybe part of
the alleged Sdrift of sentiment toward
the wet side Of the prohibition question
may be explained In this same way.
Morals have hard fight when there is
more money to be found In "loosening
I'D q little" Which seems to mean that
expediency, and not principle, too often
rules lawmakers. But that u no law

The National Boulevard.

Representative Britten of Illinois,
deeply interested in the development Of
Washington as the National Capital,
proponnds an inquiry jointly to the
chairmen Of the Public Utilities Com
mission, the Commission OF Fine Arts
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which doubtless
has been more or less in the minds Of
those concerned in the evolution Of the
Federal city for some time. He asks
whether 1t is feasible to clear Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the Capitol to the
Treasury Of street car tracks and loading
platforms in order that that thorough
fare may become q boulevard equal in
beauty and impressiyeness with any In
the. world. He asks whether surveys
have been made Of this possibility. He
wants to know whether legislation will
be necessary TO effect the result
This starts . discussion which may
lead to an important change in the
aspect Of the city and the status Of
the street railway systems Of the Dis
trict. The gradual introduction Of bus
ses for general transportation within
the District has undoubtedly lessened
the patronage Of the car lines. Whether
eventually the more flexible sLlgle-unit
vehicle win wholly replace the tracked
utility 10 question that Is much dis
cussed ct present, with a tendency Of
opinion In the affirmative. Mr.. Britten,
however, does not undertake in his
query to suggest that this be done on
general scale, but he merely pro-
poses that for the stretch Of a mile
and a third or whereabouts from the
west boundary Of the Capitol Grounds
to the Treasury the tracks be removed
and the street car service replaced by
buses.
Only q careful survey can determine
the feasibility Of the plan Y IN its
