Missouri River Drainage Basin Tech
nical conference which was held re
cently at Omaha, according to Mr.
V. Newcomb, professor of civil
engineering at the University of
South Dakota.
Mr. Newcomb has recently re
turned from the technical confer

is such that sediment will not inter
fere with power development. Mr.
Dawson, he said, also brought out
the fact that the Missouri river can
be controlled and that navigation is
a very feasible proposition.
A very interesting feature of the
meeting, Mr. Newcomb said, was an
address gifen by A. J. Weafer, pres
ident of the Missouri river naviga
tion association, concerning the Mis
souri river navigation projectt. He
brought out the fact that the army
engineers had made an estimate of
the cost of improving the Missouri
river from Kansas City to Sioux
City to bo forty-six million. Also
that over sixteen million tons of
wheat actually moved in that direc
tion each year. He estimated there
fore a saving of freight to be thirty
million dollars annual. Besides this
the army engineers have estimated
an upstream tonnage to be over six
teen million.
The railroads, Mr. Weaver ex
plained, would in no way suffer be
cause of river transportation, as the
general prosperity gained through
cheaper transportation would in
crease industry in this region an
thereby benefit the railroads.
A number of resolutions were
adopted by the conference, among
which were: (1) That congress auth
orize apfroyriate money and provide
the means necessary to carry out a
comprehensive survey and study to
obtain such information and data as
may be necessary for the adoption
of a plan or policy for the conserva
tion, controlling and utilization of!
our owater resources. (2) That as
part of any national plan which shall
be adequate for flood control, con
servation, and full utilization of
water resources, we urge the im
provement of navigation of the Mis
souri river as a necessary and indis
pensable part of the Mississippi Val
ley Water Way. In this national
program we especially emphasize the
necessity of stabilization of river
channels. We further declare to be
a sound national policy that all pres
ent navigation projects be completed
as soon as possible, particularly as
these navigation projects aid in the
solution of the flood control prob
lem, and are an indispensable part
in the solution of the middle west
transportation system.

Iowa Stat Basketball Team Will
Tour Kansas and Miss
ouri Next Week
Ames, Iowa, Jan 12 Special: An
extensive road trip for the Iowa
State basketball team will take up
the next week, during which time the
Cyclones will tour Kansas and Miss
ouri, playing four games. The team
leaves tonight for St Louis where
it will play Washington Friday, fol
lowed by a game with Missouri at
Columbia Saturday. After returning
home for two days it wil again put
out, meeting the -two Kansas schools
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Well satisfied with the showing of
the Cyclones in the two well con
tested games against the larger
Oklahoma players, Coach Chandler
has spent most c f the time polishing
up minor defects. Tuesday the var
sity went through its first and only
scrimmage session for the games in
Missouri and Kansas, defeating the
second string handily 37 to 16.
No changes in the starting lineup
are contemplated, with Woods, sopho
more center, getting the first call at
the pivot berth. However, if the go
ing gets too rough Bob Lamson, foot
ball fullback, will probably be in
jected. While Woods has an advan
tage in height, Lamson has more ex
perience and agressiveness, being es
pecially good on defense.
The remainder of the team is go
ing better than any time this year.
The Staver-Lande-Kling-Brown com
bination, while smaller than any
other in the valley, is credited as
being the fastest and cleverest floor
squad in the history of basketball at
Iowa State.

SPEED DP MATCHES
National Committee on Collegiate
Wrestling Restricts Waist
Lock and Stalling
Speeding up of wrestling matches
will be the result of several changes
made in the collegiate wrestling
rules, according to Dr. R. G. Clapp,
member of the national rules com
mittee. In the new rules, all complete
waist locks will be barred, and fur
ther restrictions to prevent stalling
require that after two warnings the
referee shall order the wrestlers to
their feet. If one of the pair con
tinues to stall, he shall be ordered
underneath on the mat. In case of
one wrestler going off the mat in
tentionally, he shall be placed under
neath when the match is resumed.
When one wrestler pulls off the mat
to prevent a fall, his opponent' shall
be given the same hold in the center
of the mat. If the action is re
peated he loses the match.
The national collegiate wrestling
meet will be held at Iowa State col
lege, March 30 and 31. Members
of the national rules committee are:
Chairman H. R. Reiter, Lehigh; Sec
retary R. G. Clapp, Nebraska; G. M.

Technology; W. A. Richardson,
Navy.
Rules for the collegiate meet call
for individual chapionships only.
Schools may enter one representai
tive in each weight and all partici
pants must be eligible under the
rules of their respective institutions.
A rule barring freshmen will prob.
ably be included. According to Dr.
Clapp, the national collegiates may
be approved as a preliminary to the
Olympic to the Olympic trials, which
will be held at Grand Rapids, Mich.

Basketball practice on the Colise

are far clown in the second division
with one game won and three lost.
A win for Nebraska would be a
slight ray of hope for its chances to
finish among the first five at the
close of thge season.
Roland "Gip" Locke will be back
again at Nebraska to start intensive
training for the Olympic's at Amster
dam, Holland, this summer. The
Cornhusker comet will be under the
directing eyes of his old instructors,
Coach Henry "Indian" Schulte and
"Doc" McLean. Locke's chances for
representing America in the nation's
largest meet are very bright and
Cornhusker followers are anxiously
waiting the arrival of the former Ne
braska flash to watch him work out
on the Husker cinders.
A former Missouri Valley basket,
eer, Arthur Lonborg is coaching baa.
ketball at Northwestern university
this season. This is Lonborg's first
season directing the Purple squad
and his results have been very suc
cessful. Lonborg received his basketball
training under "Phog" Allen at the
University of Kansas and this year
has inserted a brand new style of
basketball coaching in the Big Ten.
He perfected a flying five-man of
fensive while at Washburn College
at Topeka, Kansas, and his team won
the national amateur basketball
championship.
He has launched the same princi
ples of play at Northwestern and the
Purple cagers started out auspicious
ly by trimming Notre Dame for the
first time in ten meetings.
Twelve Missouri Valley confer
ence games on the court are sched
uled for this week. Washington,
twice conqueror of Nebraska will
await the coming of Iowa in SL Lou
is when the Cyclones and Bears meet
Friday night. Grinnell will form
Saturday night's game for Washing
ton. Kansas treks down south to
Oklahoma to meet the Sooners on
Friday and the Aggies on Saturday.
The Sooner-Jayhawk game is
probably the outstanding battle on
the week-end card. Both teams are
rated to be powerful with the Okla
homa five possibly having the edge.
Kansas has dropped a pair of games
in the race so far this season while
the rangy Sooners have put all five
of their games on the win side.
Nebraska journeys to Des Moines
to meet the Bulldogs while the Kan
sas Farmers join Kansas in invading
Oklahoma for two games. After
this week of games, we will have a
fairly good idea of whats what in
this hectic Missouri Valley court race
for 1928. Kansas, winners of the
championship for several years is
due for a setback this season, ac
cording to the opinion in the Valley.
The Allen crew got off to a bum
start and their chance at coming
back is at the cost of the Oklahoma
quintet.
The formal season is in full swing
and committees in charge are busy
trying to figure decorative schemes
that will be orginal and will outdo
the other formals. Busy students
find that this breaks into their time
and takes a lot of brain work. There

Co-eds Learn
To Use Bow
And Arrow
Norman, Jan. 12 (Special)
Valiant redskin warriors who
roamed the western plains not so
very long ago would doubtless turn
over in their graves if they could see
what has happened to their ideals
and traditions at the University of
Oklahoma this falL
Back in those days a squaw who
could wield a bow and arrow with
any kind of proficiency was an un
known quantity, while the "bucks"
were alleged to have been born with
a keen eye for the Indian long-distance
killing apparatus. But anyone
who glances out on the women's ath
letic field today will discover that
things have taken quite the opposite
turn.
Twenty white-middied and pink-
kneed co-eds are taking time twice
every week to spend an hour of prac
tice with the bow and arrow under
the direction of Miss Naomi Russell,
instructor in physical education.
Twice a week they send the barbed
missil into a distant target with in
creasing accuracy.
All that is necessary for profici
ency in the sport is a steady nerve,
a good eye, poise and willingness to
practice, according to Miss Ima

BIBLE WAS PRINTED
, HILT GROSS STYLB
Phonetic Issue Published in 1850
for English People Who Did
, Not Read Well
Readers of popular magazines who t
enjoy spending an hour puzzling
over one of Milt Gross' stories in
Yiddish dialect, may be surprised to
learn that an edition of the Holy
Bible was once published in a similar
tongue.
The fact was learned here recently
when Dr. W. B. BizzelL president of
the University of Oklahoma obtained
possession of a copy of a phonetic
bible, published in 1850 in England
for the benefit of illiterates.
The book, which takes on a dialec
tic tone from the beginning was pub
lished because so many people in
England and Ireland during that pe
riod were unable to read the stand
ard St. James version of the Chris
tion scripture, it was said.
A length discussion in the "prefs"
of the book explains its purpose and
the need for a language more easily
understood than the old Roman al
phabet. It is claimed in the book
that a person can learn to read pho
netics "in 20 lessons."
Doctor Bizzell's collection of bib
les contains many equally interest
ing volumes and has gained consid
erable recognition throughout the
country.
