Three years ago the conference passed a ruling permitting the Missouri Valley champion in basketball to meet any other conference champion. In the case of the championship of the Valley, but the University of Southern California does not hold a relative distinction in their conference. The University of California, and Leland and Stanford rank above them. What would the valley have to gain by winning from the University of Southern California or the University of Nebraska?" the conference to permit them to play a Christmas day game at the Tournament of Roses with the University of California three years ago. The valley conference turned it down. Personally I would like to see Missouri be permitted to play the perennial conference, however, the constitution of the Missouri Valley co-occurrence."

behind us. As we showed down, the
short line train came charging upon

Nation's Railroad Rates Revision Not to Be Rapid
Commission Opposes Any General Investigation as Detrimental to Public
(United Press)
Continued opposition to any general investigation of rates was expressed by the Commission which advanced the belief that necessary reevaluation would better be made as an individual complaint come before it for adjudication.
"in reaching this determination it was our opinion that to undertake a general investigation of all rates would not only unsettle business and commercial conditions but would also necessitate an expenditure of time and money impracticable under the circumstances at our disposal, and the report.
"It was our judgment that progress toward standardization of rates could better be brought about through individual cases and investigations dealing with particular rate territories or adjustments, flowing from case to case," the will permit, a general plan leading to a common end."
The report said railroad gross earnings for the first eight months of 1924 had fallen $383,000,600 or 5 per cent below those for the same period of 1923. The decline in net earnings, however, on account of decreased operating expenses, were reduced only $6,055,191.
Railroad Earnings Drop
"In short," the report, "the net earnings from railway operations have recently been better than in 1921 and 1922 but not so good as in 1923 which with the exception of the year 1924 showed a late amount of the net earnings."
Accidents investigated by the Commission for the year ending June 30, 1924 included 100 collins and derrailments in which 245 persons were injured. Two fatalities on steam railroads for the 1923 calendar year aggregated 6,522 killed and 55,464 injured. Only 138 of those killed were passengers. The rest were employees, trespassers on railroad tracks or involved in crossing accidents.

Says Herzog
No Basketball Stubs Reserved Until Total Price Is Paid.
Save Horizon
"The deadline for final payments is December 19, and after that date the first payment of $5 which was made at the beginning of the football season will be fulfilled," said Mr. Hareog.
"Until the final payment has been made on the student enterprise books, no basketball status will be reserved," a member of the student organization, one of many organizations, today.
"I think," said Herzog, "that when those who still ever the final payment realize that they can have basketball tickets) reserved until the books are paid for they will see the necessity of immediate payment."

According to Herzag there were about fifty enterprise books sold on payments; of this number there are about 30 who have not paid the total amount.
Payments are due to the treasurer of student organizations at the business, office.
