NEW YORK, March 6-There still
is another week of competition
maybe more in some quarters-to be
run off before the list Of 1899 college
basket ball champions can be COM
pleted.
For while it looked as if last
Saturday would see the windup in
practically all the major conferences,
but upsets began piling in and as
result only six titles have been de-
cided in II major circuits
The six winners came by their
crowns this way:
Southern Conference: Clemson
won title tournament by beating
North Carolina, Wake Forest, the
regular season leader; Davidson and
Maryland after barely slipping in
with a 500 average
Southeastern Conference: Ken
lucky, preseason favorite. trounced
Mississippi. Louisiana State and
Tennessee to win tournament honors
Ohio State Strong at Finish.
Big Ten: Ohio State came on
strong at finish, beating Michigan
and Purdue in final week while same
teams handed Indiana a pair of
knockout blows. Michigan winning,
53-45, in the deciding tilt Saturday.
Southwest Conference: Texas
routed Texas A. and NJ. 66-32,
Thursday to clinch title as Arkansas,
which previously had a chance to tie,
beat Rice twice.
Pacific Coast conference. Northern
division: Oregon trounced WASH
ington's second-place team twice.
1926 and 54-52. in deciding series,
but failed in effort to produce new
16-game scoring record for Laddie
Gale. who was expertly guarded by
George Ziegenfuss. Gale made 1856
points, one short of record.
Oregon was the only one of these
teams which was on top last year
and the Webfoots lost to Stanford in
the North-South playoff.
Five Champs Dethroned.
The dethroned 1888 champions
were Duke, Georgia, Tech, Purdue,
Arkansas and Utah, which tied with
Colorado in the Big Seven last year.
The simplest decision still to be
reached is the California Southern
California duel in the Southern di-
vision of the Coast Conference. They
wound up in tie when U. S. c. beat
U. c. L. A. twice last week while
Stanford. 1888 champion. broke even
with California. They'll have a
playoff, but the dates haven't been
set.
The Big Six and Missouri Valley
races may be decided tonight, but
there's good chance both will wind
up in ties. Missouri took the Big
Six lead last week with a decisive
victory over Kansas. But Oklahoma
remained in the running by beating
Nebraska and can catch the Tigers
by conquering Kansas State in the
finale.
Drake Gets Valley Lead.
Drake finally took over the lead
in the Missouri Valley Conference
by winning both of last weeks games
while the Oklahoma Aggies, who
previously had lost only two games
in two seasons, were upset by both
Tulsa and Creighton. The Aggies
play last-place Washburn at Topeka
tonight and by winning can share
the title. With 13-game total of
153 points, Carl Roman) Roh of
Creighton set a new conference
scoring record and still has a shot
at Washburn Wednesday.

how much money was there spent ?
Ans: This friend of yours did
spend an enjoyable evening in the
company of a girl by the initials
of Il. l." but he was too darn
tight to spend more than a dime
for an ice cream cone. You have
no worries, for she doesn't want
anyone as cheap as he.
]. RI am as good as l can be
to this husband of mine. He tells
me to get out when we get mad
and then he will stop me before l
can get away and 1 wonder if it is
another woman or what is wrong ?
Ans: He's just high tempered
and speaks before he thinks. There
is no other woman your whole
trouble is whisky when he gets
"tanked up" he doesn't realize
what a sap he does make of him
Self. Encourage him to drink less.
E. E. T.-How soon will l be re-
lieved from this burden that l am
carrying and what is your advice
to me?
Ans. A change is what you need.
Plan a vacation trip for a few
weeks this summer and get entirely
away from your present environ
ment. 1t seems to me that this
change is going to have a tendency
to lessen the burden that you have
on your shoulders right now.
G. j.: 1 received my Astrology
Reading from you recently and was
well pleased with it. How soon
will / have a home of my very
own?
Ans: Approximately five years
at the best you can do. You must
save a portion of your income
monthly bank it E. when you
get a down payment, by all means
make arrangements to purchase
little place of your own.
E. T.-How soon will G. C. re-
turn to me?
Ans: Not Immediately. His work
on the stage is keeping him on the
go and he can't remain permanent
Iy in your city. unless he gives up
his work. He will be through your
city during late summer.

L. D. M.-The people that l was
working for went away for several
weeks vacation and l wonder if l
can get this job back again, or
what should l do?
Ans: Your job will be open for
you upon the arrival home of these
people. Just as soon as they come
back, call on them and ask for your
job back again. They are nice peO-
pie to work for and they pay well

NJ. My boy friend claims that
he would marry me if were to get
in sad health and says that he
loves me very much. Tell me if /
should believe him and when will
we marry?
Ans: Don't swallow his line -. T..
he's just interested in a good time
at your expense. If he's so much
in love with you, why doesn't he
marry you instead of trying to coax
you into making trouble for your
self? Don't listen to him stay
straight.
L. NJ. HI have gone as far as
l can helping my father. l know
that he makes good money, and
keeps teachers during school term,
owns his own home and can't live
comfortable. 1 can't do any more,
so what does he do with his money?
Ans: He's a born "spend thrift"
money just goes through his
fingers and he actually can't ac-
count for it any more accurately
than you can. The sacrifices that
you make to help him don't do
much good if you want to help
him, do so without giving him the
money to handle.
S. lam anxious to know if l
will have to attend summer school
this summer?
Ans: No as you probably
have found out. But sister, let this
be a good lesson to you next
year try to improve your grades
from a mere passing mark to well
above the danger line, for you are
smart enough to do SO without very
much studying.

The sports seribes, we can't seem

Tommy Gibbons, present Ramsey

down, gets up off the floor to win

calls it!
All of those foreign fellows and
their molls who have been coming
into the Mill City recently sud-
denly decided that Minneapolis was
a bad town. They give Detective

By virtue of a win and a forfeit
over the league leaders, Neighbor-

thus annexed another championship
to their collection of trophies in
the Senior Division of the Settle

The new champions with only one

New Features at Welcome Hall
Camp!
On August 8 the first group from

Snail Lake. The camp will last I'M
til August %, embracing two
groups of girls and two groups of
boys. In keeping with the new and
enlarged program at Welcome Hall
this summer will be instruction in
Life Saving as well as swimming
instructions. This policy will be
followed in the light of the fact
that the mortality rate from
drowning has shown a steady in
crease in the past and much is due
to the lack of knowledge of what
may be done by the less than av-
erage swimmer to aid a drowning
person. Instructions for beginners
and advanced swimmers will be un-
der the direction of Leslie V. War
rem, Director of Boys Work at
Welcome Hall and Graduate Stu
dent at the University of Mime
sofa.
The camp itself which hereto
fore has been known as the Snail
Lake Camp has been renamed
Camp Otyakwa, offers many other
interesting features such as Bad
minton, Bible stories, health talks,
handicraft, hikes, nature studies,
and many others. Mrs. ]. H. Ha-

Under Local Ownership

The announcement that Mrs,
Eleanor Patterson has purchased the
Washington Herald and the Wash
1ngton Times from American News
papers, Inc, should be welcomed by
the people of the District since it
means that those publications hence
forth will be both owned and oper-
ated by local resident Mrs. Patter-
son has been publishing the two
newspapers since August, 1887, under
a leasing arrangement with the
Hearst interests, but neither paper
has been under local ownership for
many years.
Mrs. Patterson, a member of a
family distinguished in the news
paper field, has taken an active and
effective interest in District problems
since entering the publishing field
here, and it follows naturally that
the Times and Herald, with Mrs. Pat
terson as owner, will continue to be
advocates of those things which are
to the best interests of the city.
In undertaking the responsibilities
of publishing and owning two local
newspapers Mrs. Patterson has the
best wishes of The Star.
