Here's the first letter in a long time: "Contribs! Here’s one on us. I Why doesn't Dick (Field Goals) carry a rule book and referee a game for charity's sake? This| writer has s en the G. E. Club in I action s veral times this seasoh, hut firmly believes they should expect a battle-royal from th&, Whippets Thursday night. The G. E. Club is given the edge because of the number of games and practice s ssicns held. The Whippets have played tin- e games, winning by comfortable margins, but lack the polish of other years. Yet. their determination will carry them to within a few points of their goal. I predict a score of G. E., 35; Whippets, 29. The Whippets have been organiz d for six years and of the 12 games played between Uiem and the G. E., the Decatur team .has won only < ne. So be there, Dick, with Rolls on. if not with a whistle and a rule book. Yours for more field goals, "Who's Who.” Not so hot. but it's a letter and maybe more will fol'ow. Basketbawls wouldn't attempt to officiate a game, because there would be too much comedy. —oßo — The G. E. Club has the best team this season, it ever has boasted. Our guess is the Decatur team will give the Whippets quite a battle, and should win by several points.

PURDUE MEETS WASHINGTON U. Lafnyette, Dec. 17 -Purdue's Big Ten title defenders with the season luuili bed auspiciously by virtue of a 34 to 22 victory over Notre Dame, are waiting the invasion of Washington, two-time champions of the .M.-souri Val.iy Conference, here Friday night in the final home game before the Boilermakers invade the east lor tilts with PittsJ .'in gh and Temple. Although only two veterans, I Io nny Wooden and Harry Keller, 'captains appeared in the starting lineup against the Irish, the Boilermakers displayed a well-finished i bran lof ball that exceeded expectations in smothering tjie Notre Dame quintet. Wooden and Kellar, two of the . levt rest ball handlers in the mid|dle wes'. formed a brilliant passing i and dribbling combination that j vorked the balkdown the floor with ! Pile support f.om their three sopho- ■ nore mates. Wooden s break-neck j dribble that earned him All-Ameri-i an honors last season was even more effective than usual, and i li.hnny flashed under the basket line times to sink field goals while | aeing at top speed. Parineutor. sophomore back guard, showed promise of develop*ng into a capable backboard deender under the able tutelage of Ward Lambert, while Stewart and Miner, centers, although lacking finish, are expected to develop Dick Porter. Ray Eddy and Jim ! Telford were all given a chance to work with Kellar at forward, and ' turned in fairly consistent performances. The Wa-hiugton quintet, coached by Don White, former Purdue star, is expected to give the Boilermak■rs a real tussle. The Bears followed up tiieii 1929 championship performance by sharing the title last season, and with Ted Sauselle and Whitehouse as veterans, are again branded as title contenders. Sauselle. as a sophomore last season, finished third in the Missouri Valley, rate for individual high point honors. 0 COURT RULING ON AMENDMENT IS EXPLAINED rnNTINVED FROM PAGE ONE) ppriv'd lie said, only with the mati ter best re the court. —that of the 118th amendm nt. At the beginning of the 42-pagg 1 document embodying his decision ' Judge Clark said: "Even if this opinion meets with |:i cold reception in the appellate I courts, we hope that it will at least ! have the effect of focusing the country's thought upon the neglect- ! ?d method of c nsidering constitn- : tional amendments in conventions. We have often wished for som - statute akin to that of mortmain to remove the dead hand of tradition from the domain cf ideas." Th question is not a new one, i he says, pointing out that it first j came under discussion in the congressional d‘ bates on the proposal of the amendments ensuing upon the close cf the Civil war. He quotes at length from a speech of S nator Dixon of Connecticut In congress in 1869. discussing the 14th am ndment, and from a message from President Johnson to congress in 1866, both upon the | questicn of whether amendments should be ratified by state legislatures or by conventions elected ■ for that purpose. Judge Clark explained that in his decision he had abandoned the “stereotyped form of constiutional ! interpretation" and followed the I schot 1 of thought he felt to be I typified in the writings of Viscount i B yce, Prof. Burgess of Columbia j University, and Justice Holmes, iHe considered th? problem, he said, as one of political science.

Th’ decision, nowever, did not agre? in many details with the arguments which had been presented by defense counsel. They had contend?d that the reservation "to th? people" in the tenth amendment modified article 5 and prescribed the convention method of ratification where an attempt was made to grant power over th? pe pie. Judge Clark, in d'ssenting from this view, maintained that it could not be validly argued that a legislature was any less part of the machinery of representation than he public in convention: and that I both were agents, one special an I ' one general. Judge Clark held that a conveni tion, either because of directly-in--1 structed or abler delegates, is a
