 Last years star team of Koth- Geise has been broken up, and Larry Roth and Harold Burrell are now coupled together. This team is hold ing down second place with two wins and one loss.
 The team of Henry Freeman and Ted Borgasian has given 8 good account of itself, and to date the boys hold third position in the league.
 The team touted to be the league leaders but who have not come up tot expectation, Is Ed Geise and Carl Toothaker. They got off to a bad start and are in fourth position.
 Three teams occupy fifth position with such outstanding players as Harry Anderson, Henry Cieslewski, and Ray Doiran occupying the low positions In the league.
 It is too early in the season to make any predictions as to the out come, but the one player who looms on the horizon to replace Chris Koth is Chuck Welch. We predict he will be one of the outstanding stars in the A League.

Equal Meat
RatiOIlinG
for All

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL Up
- Babies, children, and adults
all will get the same meat al
lowance when the rationing plan
goes into operation, now ex-
pected about March %.
Officials of the Office of Price
Administration said today that
they had failed to find any sem
sible or workable plan of grad
uating meat rations according to
age, and are making final plans
on the basis of everyone get
ting the same amount.
This will. in effect, give an
extra allotment of meat to par
ents of babies. OPA wanted to
avoid that, but the only alterna-
tive was not to allow any meat
at all for very small children.
Since teething babies consume
at least small amount of meat,
especially bacon, the rejected
plan would have forced parents
to divide their meager rations
with the small children. The me-
chanics of coupon rationing did
not seem to permit any sliding
scale.
March % is the date that OPA
is shooting at in its planning on
meat. 1t would prefer an earlier
date in the hope that rationing
will equalize the current supply,
which is only fair in some COM
munities and almost non-exist-
ent in others.
Delaying the program, pos
sibly beyond March %, are a
thousand details, especially eval-
uation of meats in tie r m S Of
points. AS in the case of canned
goods, which will be rationed
with the same coupon book,
meat rations will be so many
points per months, or week, the
points per month, or week, the
average ration will be perhaps
a little under two pounds a
week, but more if consumers buy
hamburger or liver and less If
they buy steaks .-...-.--.--.-.-.-.-~
Public distribution of these
ration books will begin Feb. %.

FIELD TRIP
Nine students of Mr.. BeaPs
Sociology Class had a two and
one half hour discussion with the
Friend Of the Court, Mrs. Baker,
in the county building yesterday
morning.
She pointed out the legal man.
ner Of getting a divorce. Some
women think that by getting a
divorce will give them not only
the desired freedom but large
sums of money. This was proven
false by Mrs. Baker and very
few divorced women receive
enough 10 live on.
Something out of the ordinary
happened while the discussion
was taking place to the enjoy
ment of the students present.
They had chance to witness an
alimony case tried before Judge
Neil Reid who found the man
had not made the necessary
payments. One of Mrs. Bakers
stories was most amusing. A
married coupled argued con-
stantly but neither wanted a di-
vorce. The husband liked baked
potatoes. He couldn't understand
why his wife wouldn't eat the
skins when he always did and
IT got him so mad that one thing
always led to another. So Mrs.
Baker suggested that he eat her
skins and then they would have
one less thing to argue about.
She hasn't heard from them
since. The following students
heard Mrs. Baker: June Elater,
Ruth Reiner, Rosann Razey,
Penny Samoa, Rosemary Stien-
brink, Norman Mitchell, Arthur
Samuels. Donald Klien and Tom
Donaldson.
1t seems that notorious gang
of vandalS is breaking the win
doWs in the large and once beau-
tiful hotel in the rear of the high
school.
Of course this is violating the
law and these boys should be
able to find something better
than windows at which to throw
snowballs at. The word is around
that the case is being investigat-
ed by the police so any guilty
party might take a hint and Ell

SWedeS Would
Cancel Deal
with Germans

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 12-(P)-
The Swedish press said today
that the agreement allowing
transit OF German troops across
neutral Sweden should be can
celled in the event the Allies in
wade Norway, even if it means
war for Sweden.
The transit agreement was
made in 1910 and provided for
the movement of German troops
across Sweden to or from Nor
way by Swedish railway.
The Goeteborg Handles Tidnin-
gen said the agreement should
be cancelled Immediately, de-
claring that when it becomes a
threat TO the country we not
only have the right but also
the duty TO cancel it,"
Allan Vought, leader of the
governments social democratic
party in the lower house of par
lament, wrote in the newspaper
Arbetet that neither transit of
troops nor war material should
continue if war strikes Norway
again.
Aftontidningen advised against
immediate action but said fear
of war could not bring about
such an agreement as long as
fighting was going on in Nor
way; fear of the same kind could
not prolong the agreement if
the consequence of the action be
war, we must take the step"
