To The Editor
Olympic Auditorium, L.A., March 6—(To the Editor ol the Daily Trojan): Trojan basketball fans are \ery confident that the Huskies will get snow ed under by the Trojan attack in their three-game exchange. It’s pretty hard to snow Huskies under; they’re used to snow in spite of popular opinion, tlie members of the Trojan team are considerably worried over thc outcome of the series. It seems that the Washington center is 0 feet 6 inches ii height. No fooling, this game of basketball is getting way above us.
Arnold Eddy, ticket czar of the campus, has discovered i\ new way to brtak the seating capacity record for the Olympic. Reinforced pants buttons will be attached to the rive's on the steel cross beams In the roof of the auditorium. Just as soon as the seats are all packed, incoming collegi-ates will be suspended ny their suspenders for a faw suspense-filled moments.

back the Husky squad. At the center position, Mortensen will be opposite Hal McClary, tow'erlng six-foot-six man. On the floor attack he is expected to outwit the invaders.
Although not the leading Trojan scorer, Mortensen is the cleverest ball-handier, a tight defensive player, and has earned his regular berth since recovering from football Injuries .Even if Wilber Caldwell should be shifted to play the center and then drop back to guard with Mortensen taking the part of the pivot man. the quintet’s strength would not be lessened.
Frank Smith, whose basket-hitting accuracy gave the Southern Californians the greater part of their scores, is a formidable opponent against any and all of the five goal tossers from the north. Jack Gardner, forward, will also be competing against the five-man offense from Seattle.
Responsibility for the guarding of Washington’s men is placed on Captain Johnny Lehners and Cald well. One as a senior and the other as a sophomore have held undisputed berths in the protect ing line. Like Mortensen, Captain Lehners is playing his last collegiate basketball in this series.
On the reserve lists are Bill Pierce and Aaron Nibley, either of whom may be shifted into the scrimmage in an emergency. Only (Continued On Page Four)

ptomaine poisoning from food eaten in a near-by resturant, 15 students from the Dental clinic, Venice boulevard and Los Angeles streets, were removed to the Georgia street receiving hospital j Wednesday afternnnn tn secondary treatment. They were later permitted to go to their homes after suffering no further effects.
The first complaints of poisoning symptoms came about 3 o’clock in the ofternoon from several students who had eaten lunch ln the resturant. Some were affected so quickly that they were forced to leave their patients sitting in their chairs. Dr. P. C. Rees, of the College of Dentistry, administered first aid which prob-
Those who were removed to the receiving hospital were George McDavltt, W. B. Wilson, V. P. Murphy, J. C. Revell, Fred Harris, and D. W. Dyer. Those who received treatment at home were Frank Tu&iiu, Don Brannon, George Johnson, Frank Wolf, George Grudin, Victor Hoover, Murry Skolneck, and Adolphe Pes-chelt.
Health officers started an immediate investigation as to the cause of the poisoning and it was learned that unsanitary conditions and bad food were responsible. Health officers reported that the owner of the resturant was dealt with severely and warned to maintain a higher standard of sanitation.
“In the lumber industry a remarkable revolution is taking place,” Dr. Paul W. Ivey, profes-soi of merchandising, said after returning from a six-week lecture tour in the East, during which he appeared before seventeen state conventions of lumber dealers.
“Grade-marking” each piece of lumber, the scheme of the National Lumber Manufacturers association, is bound to increase the confidence of the public iu lumber and consequently increase its sales, Dr. Ivey believes. Since a large majority of the people do not understand lumber, they are afraid to buy it. "When they can be certain of knowing just what they ar paying for, more and better lumber will be demanded and less em phasls put on price,” he said.
In order to interest the consumer in quality lumber, the National Lumber Manufacturers association are spending a quarter of a million dollars a year acquainting the user with information he should know.
Lumber is the last great staple to be made a specialty, Dr. Ivey continued. Speculative builders will put better lumber inio homes if the buyers of homes appreciate better lumber aud will pay for it. Poor lumber is bought because the buyer does not know enough about the commodity to wish to pay for the best quality.
