Morley Drury and Jesse Hibbs, laBt year running guard and forward, respectively, announced last night that they definitely decided against playing the court game this year. The pair, Southern Cali fornia donations to the All-American lists in football this year, and letter men from the 1926 bas ketball team, were expected to do much tnwnrd offsetting injuries and Ineligibilities' that had weaken ed Coach Leo Calland squad. Drury announced that he would go out for other sports, while Hibbs fears that the change to the hard floors of the basketball court from the soft turf of the football field would result in "shin splints." GIVES NEW SLANT ON THANKSGIVING (Amwtiitrtl ITi'M I-ouwil Wl'rr) PARIS, Dec. 8. A widely circu lated newspaper thinks Abraham Lincoln Instituted the annual on servnnce of Thanksgiving uay in the United States 300 years ago.

'lho statement was made In commenting on the average French man's ignorance -af American history and tradition. To dispel some of that ignorance the newspaper said: "The American fete of Thanks giving was instituted three cen turies ago by Lincoln following an astonishing event. "In 1095 while some of the settlers were dying of hunger others hud marvelous crops aud were able to come to the rescue of their distressed brethren. Very religious himself. President.

Lincoln baw in this a miracle and named a day of Thanksgiving unon which God wns to be thanked for his mercy; He flved, arbitrarily upon the last Thursday November the. annual observance of the fete."

He watched the reflection and always ducked- In time. Dexterity with' his bands was remarkable.

A trick which remained with him to the end was the ability to catch a fly In motion between his thumb and index finger. Grlffo could not read nor write, but he would sit day after dny attentively scanning a magazine In a Broadway nook. Sometimes the magazine was turned upside down. JJOHNNY RISKO PEFEATS SCOTT CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 8.

Johnny, nlsko. Cleveland contender for Gone TuniMiy's heavywelKht crown, today was a step nearer his objective In the process of ellml nation for determining a chal-lonuer owing to hle victory laRt night over Phil Scott, British heavyweight champion. They fought in Public ball here before a capacity crowd of 12,000 spectators. Itlsko forced all the fighting and scored two knockdowns to win Patsy Haley's decision. A left Jab and a strong push put Scott on the floor for a count of "one" in the first round, while the Britisher took a count of nine in the seventh after a close exchange which brought an expression of pain from him and a claim of "foul" from his corner.

Scott plans to return at once England without engaging In any more fights, but to return to America next spring for a stay of several years, he said last night. EDDY IN PORTLAND "We've got a health officer who believes in taking precautions," explained I). L. Kddy, discussing the quarantine established In Douglas county to war against the Infantile paralyis. "Things are not bo bad In It one burg.

There is a single case and gatherings are prohibit ed, but that is all. Tbe health officer is doing what he can to safeguard the community, and that is what his duiy is." Mr. Eddy has been a member of the state senate for many years and Is recognized as one of the ablest members of the legislature. Other members usually depend on blm to see that a bill, when passed, is worded properly, with the comma and other punctuation marks exactly where they are intended to be.

Like the majority, the minority has its leader's name- well up on the list of those whose names are discussed where politicians foregather. UesideB this leader, Rohlnson of Arkansas, there are Reejl of Mis-souri, who stalked through the evidence of huge primary expenditures In Pennsylvania and Illinois last year: Walsh of Montana, who fought his way through difficulty after difficulty to expose the naval oil reserve scandals, and Carter Glass of Virginia, co-author of the Federal Reserve Act. Within the senate ranks also are many vice-presidential legibilities. Republicans as well as Democrats. These are to bo counted nmong both I lie conservative and the independent sin the two major parties.

With this formidable array of presidential and vice-preBldential possibilities and aspirants It will be but natural that politics and campaign Issues will have a pre-dominant part in the congressional debates. The Democrats will, find plenty of opportunities to assail the Republican administration and the majority leaders will retaliate In kind and point to the party record in appeals to tho voters of tho country. Farm relief nlono carries no small amount of political dynamite. Taxes and the tariff are subjects upon which the leaders will dwell, and while, not strictly political Issues, flood control and the Great Lakes-to the-Atlantlc waterway are certain to draw sharp political lines among the varying shades of opinion on Capitol Hill, The latest turns in the oil scandal leave ample room for. the reviving of that subject, which was dwelt upon at great length during the 1924 prpsiilontlnl campaign.
