IN THE
NEWS

THE results of various So

and on the Pacific Coast have
been published I'm this column.
These ballots have been
conducted by several respOn-
sible agencies.
The questions voted upon
have been whether the United
States should enter the war at
this time.
Or whether Il should enter
the war II conditions become
more menacing.
And whether the natural
sympathy of the people of the
United States for England
should lead us, under present
circumstances or under any
circumstances, TO sacrifice
our independence and become
a part of the British Empire.

poll has been conducted by

All these surveys show
about four-fifths of the pop

the United States entering the
war at this time and under
present conditions.
And all show al least a.
many voters ayerse to the
"Union Now" movement to
consolidate the United States

OECENTLY two further
IN polls of Importance have
been held i'm the Middle West.
DIR. Robert VI. iIutchins,
president Of the University Of
Chicago, has gone to great
pains 10 obtain an accurate
test of public sentiment.
His survey shows that only
nineteen and one-tenth per
cent of the public are in favor
of the United States entering
the war as an active bellig-
erent at this time.
But fifty-nine and five
tenths per cent--or more than
a majority--would be in favor
of the United States entering
the war If any part Of North
America should be attacked.
If the UNITED STATES
should be invaded or at
tackled" the vote for war is
almost unanimous - ninety
three and six-tenths per cent.
The Chicago Tribune is also
conducting "A survey in Illinois
and the results OF its poll cor
respond very closely TO Pres
ident Hutchins' analysis.
The Chicago Tribune poll
shows only a little over
eighteen per cent of the voi-
ers i'm favor of the United
States actually entering the
war to help Britain.
IN VIEW of these polls and
j results, whose accuracy
Is vouched for by two leading
universities of the country,
and by other equally respon-
sible authorities, and i'm con-
sideration of the further fact
that no responsible authority
OR even irresp nsible

"A determined band of Cougars
from Washington State college face
the Stanford University basketball
team tonight in the second of a
three game series to decide the
Pacific coast championship and the
right to represent the west in the
national collegiate tournament at
Kansas Ciy.
The Cougars came from behind
with rush to shade Stanford 46 to
43 in the opening game last night
after trailing, badly disorganized,
90 to Is at the half.
The one-handed shooting of Kirk
Gebert, WSC guard, was largely
responsible for the Cougars rever-
sal of form. He pulled the Cougars
into a tie with Stanford at 31-all
with 10 minutes to go, then with
the aid of Mary Gilberg and Vern
Butts overcame a five-point lead in
the closing seconds.
Stanford trailed for the first II
minutes of the game but took lead
that seemed impossible to overcome.
Each team made good 18 of So
attempts from the field. Washing

ability to cage Is field goals N
81 attempts in the last half.
Kenny Davidson, Stanford for

MIAMI. March Is. CUP) - The
most singular thing bout the
grapefruit baseball Circuit this Win
ter is the lack of respect paid the
Detroit Tigers.
Heretofore any club that pitched
training quarters with the right
TO raise the blue and white flag
with American League Champions
written on it, was the club that
had the most words penned about
it. and was the club that nine out
of ten critics named as the one TO
beat in the approaching race. But
not so the Tigers. No one has pick
ed them TO finish better than third
or fourth this year. And they are
getting no more attention than If
all they had done last year was to
win the second half championship
Of the Sally league.
This is hard to explain, after
all, the Tigers of 1910 came mighty
close TO doing all that a great base
ball team should do. UP until the
seventh inning of the seventh game
of the world series with the Gin
cinnati Reds they looked the part
Of world champions. And the chanc-
es are they would be world cham
pions today if Dick Bartell, short
stop, and one of the knowingest
men in baseball, had not gone tc
seleep at the post and literally
allowed the winning run to wall
across home plate.
The Tigers were fine club las
wear. They came from fifth place
spot which had been assigned
to them before the season started
and ran over all other clubs in th'
climb to the heap. One Of thu
teams they knocked off was tn
supposedly invincible New Yorl
Yankees. Another outfit that wa
trampled underfoot by the Tiger
in their upward surge was tn
Cleveland Indian, and they bea
