Careswell, whose father is a collector for a Salt Lake hardware company, ran away from his home Dec. 24 last. He worked in San Francisco a ' month, then went out on the desert to work on the railroad in course of construction between Salton and Imperial Junction. A grading machine knocked him down and broke his leg. newas otherwise slightly injured. With Sick Men And Juniors They Won From The Provo Bunch. Nothing in an athletic way that ever happened in Logan, gave such keen satisfaction to local fans as the victory of the B. Y. C. basketball team over the Provo hunch of players, on Saturday afternoon. The score was 19 to 16, and this notwithstanding the absence from the team of Joe Jensen and Roskelley. Hill ought not to have played, for he was not well, hut the unsportsmanlike action of the Provo team in refusing to grant a postponement of the game, roused his fighting blood, and he determined to play as long as he could stand up, and he played a beautiful game too. AUred took Jensen's place at center and Keller went ia at guard. Both of them are deserv" ing of the greatest credit for their work. They did nobly. All-re- d had practiced with the team before, but Keller bad not, and naturally it threw the team out of joint some. but owing to Provos unsenenous action their nnd'er had riz, and the wh,ole bunch foughr&s Crimsons have never' fought before, and glory be ! they won too. - Old Steady Wangsgard did beautiful work he always does youll notice and Wilcox well, he couldnt play bad ball if he tried to. time, they were about all in. The' first half ended with the score of 9 to 7 in favor of the B. Y, C.. The latter were in the 'ead during practically the whole game. . A tremendous crowd saw the and when it became known that the locals had won, things broke loose, and spectators joined students in one mighty shout of joy, for it always makes people rejoice to see, fair, gentlemanly-sport win out. The school has a right to be proud of that team, for it is made of the right kind of stuff, and dont overlook Harry; Stoney either he put a lot of that ginger and fight into the boys, and Schneider helped him do it. Of course there o wish to be unjust to Provo, or to taunt its players with their defeat, but they picked on cripples and then got licked, so its hard to refrain from calling attention to it, but probably they have learned a much needed lesson, as a result of the game. The victory puts Logan and Provo , on even terms for the championship, and the tie will probably he played off in Salt Lake City. With its team in proper shape, the B. Y. C. should win easily.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1907. . Provo made a splendid showing and when the last word had been said, the audience was in much doubt as to where victory would lie. The Provo speakers probably made the best impression upon the audience, for their delivery was much superior to that of the College talkers, but the latter had decidedly the better of the argument, and the argument adduced weighs heaviest ia.the determination of theT matter. The Provo debaters were lame in one particular, they frequently quoted figures, hut in many instances failed to give their authority for so doing, while the Aggie speakers were very careful to do this. A good sized audience was in attendance. President Ballard of the Commercial Club presided. He stated the question to be discussed which was Resolved, That by a system of reasonable ship subsidies the Uiited States should attempt to build up an American merchant marine; provided that the attempt he not limited to Latin and Oriental trade. He then introduced Mr. J. W. Robinson of Provo, Jhe first speaker for the affirmative. He made a very good talk for 15 minutes, taking the ground that we need a larger merchant marine in order to give our raw and manufactured products a worldwide market, and toprovide auxiliary vessels for our navy in case of war. He insisted that the subsidy is the only proper and legitimate way of stimulating the growth of our merchant marine. He illustrated his talk with charts but failed to mention the authority for the figures on them, except as to one showing the dv crease of our merchant - marine since 1825 to the present time. M. C. Harris, 4he first speaker for the negative, took the position that the subsidy is wrong in principle that it would be unjust and entirely wrong for Congress to take the taxpayers money and give it to the nills, narrimans and Morgans to build ships with. He argued that the growth of our merchant marine would not be greatly stimulated by subsidies unless natural conditions are favorable, lie showed that the U. S. marine ranks second among those of the world, and maintained that it is growing very rapof ships being idly, hundreds built every year. A., T. Rasmussen had 20 minutes for the affirmative, and he made a clear, clean cut talk, being completely at ease upon the rostrum. He took issue with his opponents as 4o the coast wise vessels beinarincluded in the merchant marine. He asserted that all civilized nations paid subsidies, and gave figures tending to show that the subsidy promoted the growth oft he marine, but he neglected to state where he got the figures. Of course there is no question as to their accuracy, but he failed to give his authority, and was therefore the loser of a point or two. He pointed ost the need of - 11. Y. American 'sailors and contended that a large merchant marine would develop good - sailors for us. The principle involved in the giving of subsidies had been tried in the United States and proved a safe one. J. E. Kerr, fori the negative, followed. Mr. Kerr has a slight is impediment in his speech,-an- d not at all graceful as an orator, but what he lacks in these he more than made up in forcefulness and good English. He took a lawyers position in the matter, urging that before our present policy as to the merchant marine, should be changed, some reason for doing so should be affirmatively shown. The defects in the present system should he xes-p&c- ts pointed out and this the affirm'a-ti- v had failed to do. He gave many good reasons for the decline of our merchant marine since 1825, pointing out that lack or - was not Jhe subsidy-supp- ort cause, and hacked up his colleague in the statement that It Is wrong to take the poor peoples money and give it to the rich. Mr. Harris then had five minutes for aumming up, and in doing so he made some telling I points. five allowed Mr. Robinson was minutes for rebuttal, hut he was not nearly Harris equal at this feature of the debate, failing to bring in liny point he had not ! made before. , The judges, Attorney Irvine of Salt Lake, Judge Whitecotton of Provo, and Attorney Walters of Logan, then handed in their decisions. Two were for the negative and one for the affirmative. Blanche Walsh in!
