The first game with the Method sts will
be plaved In the auditorium which has a
large seating capacity and the second

The selection of the auditorium for the

from any point.
Basket ball only three year old at tha

malor sports and although the games
have not vet the drawing power of a
chnmpionehlp gridiron conteat among tha
sport lovers of the city yet the atten-
dance records show that the new sport
Is rapidly growing In popularity.
From the standpoint of the spectators.
who clamor fer continuous action basket
ball has almost the (Tipping appeal of a
boning contest.
The rudiments of tne game are very
easily mHsteted aa the Innumerable
technicalities so evident In football are
absent In baaket ball. Tha spectator la
Me to follow the progreea of the game
without difficulty. The ball ia alwaye In

creasing favor being shown this sport by
the general public
South High Pool and
Gym Are Open to Rice
1 Arrangements have been completed
with the authorltlea at South Junior High
chool by Physical Plrector H. X. Koo
of the Rice institute whereby the classes
in physical education and sanitary
science may have the use of the pool and
gymnasium at South Knd two alternoons
a week. With these facilities at his dis-
posal Coach Roe is planning a Physical
regime that will affect every nun in the
two lower classes. ...
"The averaae student said Coach h.oe
"doea not get enough exercise. 'ntfl;-
collegiate and even interclasa. athletiiS
are carried on by the favored few who
are fitted bv nature to excel and who
reallv do not need the exercise lor Its
own 'sake. The student body as a whole
is generally i-ontent to sit in the stands
and do the cheering. The only exercise
ia that of the vocal oramis. and this Is
not calculated to develop a strong
v.hvalu
'The idea that wo are developing here)
t h in.tti.it- i much after that which 1
has been successfully carried out at the
great Kngliah preparatory schools for
generatlona. During the periods of rec-
reation all the student throng the ath-
letic fields. Boxing wrestling cross
countrv runnings and many other forms
of manly exercise are much in favor.
This not only insures perfect health and
a robust constitution to the individuals.
but also enables him to come io ius
classea with a steady nerve and clear
brain. The result is a decided advance
in scholarships."
Working along the same lines. Coach
Roe has arranced a series of basket ball
games among the various divisions of the
two classes .After a series of elimina-
tion contests a game for the class cham-
pionship will be played.

ARCTIC LIFE IS
YIYIDLY SHOWN
Raskin Pictures of Froxen North
Drew a Urge Crowd.
Interesting Soenei of Eskimo Life
and Walrus Hunts Desonbsd
Find Stefanuon Sur.
YiYorv
If Houston's climate Is proving too
warm for anybody it will help seme to
see the Ruskln pictures of the "froxen
north." The wonders of the movie cam
era were certainly never more strikingly
exemplified than in Dr. Ruskln's travelog
of his recent visit to the Arctic circle.
The pictures were shown Monday for
the first time at the Taylor school to
the children In the afternoon and to
audience of older persons at night.
It is unbelievable to see the people of
that region bared to their waist In the
open in what they call summer weather
that is 15 decrees below eero. Yet that's
what the Chuckchee Indians do and
they're an ultra aristocratic class of Es-
kimo people living furthest north of any.
In Northern Siberia. Dr. Kuskin showed
many pictures of them. One of these was
a "pink tea" In which he was the host.
Kvery picture every scene holds a grip
on- your attention. Tne wild lite is re
markably pictured Just as it is.
One of the pathetlo parts of this story
was the disappointment which Dr. Ruskln
met witn wnen in sponse to an excited
call from one of the Eskimos with the.
"Iglootoo! Ialootoo!" meaning "Look
ahead! Look ahead!" he left the boat
go to the point Indicated honlnr to And
the lost crew of brave Dr. Stefansson's
flag ship the Karluk. As he drew nearer
he saw walrus a bank of them. It ap-
peared so massive were their bodies
sprawled out on the ice where they were
asleep.
Dr. Kuskin had the rood fortune later
however to rind the survivors of the
Stefansaon flag ship eight men who had
waited an interminable eight months for
their rescue on the bleakest of all the
lands of that far northern region. Wran-
gle island many miles long.
The Eskimo's exoresalon. '"Ialootoo!"
has been adopted by the Central High
senior class as their slogan. It carries
In its interpretations about the same
meaning as the popular American expres
sion "Watch your step.'" The Eskimo
word is pronounced E-glootoo.
Relndoei- one scene called "Santa
Claus" and dogs were shown as the two
methods of travel over the froxen surface
the dogs being preferable for several rea-
sons; they require less and more easily
provided food and go better and are
when necessary converted Into food.
The pictures will be shown at North
Junior High school Wednesday night at
I o'clock. 'at South Junior High Thursday
and Friday and at the city auditorium
Saturday afternoon and night and Sun-
day night and at Rusk school Monday
night January 15.

Mayor Doesn't Favor
Babyless Apartments
"If I had my way about it I would
abolish every club In this city" declared
Mayor Campbell Monday referring to
women's organisations when officers of
the Young Men's Business league ap-
proached him relative to securing the
council chamber of the city hall for a
meeting of the Women's Business league
Thursday night. Secretary Timmons of
the Young Men's Business league ajked
Mayor Campbell if he had received an
official request to address the business
women at their meeting and the mayor
intimated that he wouldn't feel disposed
toward making such an address. If re-
quested. "What do the young women want an
organization for T" he asked. "Is it politi-
cal?" He was told that the organization
waa nonpolitical hut was an organiza-
tion of business women for social and
business purposes.
'They ought to be at thome and if
they haven I homes they ought to get
them." he asserted. "What are we com-
ing to? If I had my way ibout it I
would abolish every club in 'iis city "
Then the mayor paid his respects to
"two-room apartments" characterizing
them as places built on the principle of
eliminating the baby. He said that he
had Just seen such an apartment and that
its kitchen wasn't bigger than hfs olMce
table. Its dining room had the bed built
into the wall he said.
"You can't raise children in places like
that?" he continued. "It would be a
fin? place to raise bedbugs but a baby
wouldn't grow there."
At this point Secretary Timmons asked
him what he thought about the cltv buy-
ing a large tract of ground in the suburbs
put improvement on it and sell the
houses and lots at cost to men unable
to own their own homes but the mayor
expressed as much disapproval of that
idea as he did of women's Clubs and babK-
less apartments.

ter In the hearing room of the commis-
sion open to the public.
What Is the basis of the proposed com
promise waa not made public all partici-
pants to the conference refusing to make
a statement. Chairman Mayfield and
Attorney General Looney declined to dis
cuss the conference with newspaper men.
For some time past there has been a

discussed with Attorney General Looney
by Mr. Garwood and other railroad at-
torneys on more than one occasion. .

sioner Earle B. Mayfield gave out the
following statement:
WANTED CONFERENCE
IN OPEN HEARING.
'I told my associates and the attorney
general that I would not consent to' a
conference with the general attorneys of
the railroads for the purpose of discuss-
ing a compromise of the Shreveport rate
case unless the conference was held tn
our regular hearing room and was open
to the public so that everybody who was
interested In that question could be pres-
ent and thus know exactly what was
going on.
'The traffic associations of Texas have
raised over l.'O.OOO with which to fight
the Shreveport rate case and have prac-
tically made the entire fight against Fon
da tariff No. 2-B and from the very be-
ginning of the Shreveport rate contro-
versy have rallied to the defense of the
Texas railroad commission. The repre-
sentatives of the traffic associations of
Texas are in the city of Austin toda
within a stone's throw of the capltol and
no conference should be held that affc ts
Fonda tariff No. 2-B without giving these
reDresentotives of the commercial inter
ests an invitation to attend that comer-ence.
PEOPLE OF TEXAS
NTITLED TO KNOW.
'The people of Texas are entitled tc
know everything that goes on between
the members of the railroad commission
the attorney general and tho railroad
lawyers and so far as I am personally
concerned I will not be a party to an)
conference held behind closed doors.
'Let the light 'of day shine- on tho
Shreveport case and Fonda's tariff No
B.
Monday's conference according to in
formation from a reliable sourct is the
preliminary in an attempt to bring abuui
u compromise which Is being conducted
solely so far by the legal heads of the
railroads and the attorney general.. The
traffic men of the railroads have not yet
been asked to participate but they will
lust as soon as the ouestion of a basis
for the adjustment of tha Fonda tariff
