side
Il has been decided to ho,d the annual
competitions for Institute championships
some time in February. but date has not
yet been fixed The several events WI
have larger entries than ever before and
this is another indication of the great
amount of work being done in that gym.
The fact that the bowling tsam has u
good lead in the League race spz axis for
itself 1t shows that the team is doing
good, earnest, consistent work. and this
wins every time. The team has ben for
tunate in having the same players now
that it had on the opening night and it is
little wonder that it is putting up such
splendid team work.
Corcorani Cadet Athletics.
Putting up such brilliant game as the
Corcoran Cadet .baske thall team did on
Friday night losing the game to the In
fantry was no disgrace. 1t was one of
the fastest, snappiest games Of the sea-
son. and every man on the team deserves
credit for the good work he did.
The passing by the players was excel
lent throughout. but the open passing
counts for little against team using close
blocking tactics. 1t is most effective when
used against like style of playing. The
players still do the best kind of team
work.
The team will play On next Wednesday
evening with the Central High School
Manager Edwards hopes to arrange
games with the Quaker City Wheelmen, OF
Philadelphia. and the Baltimore Y. VI. c.
\, TO be played next month Such games
would prove Of considerable interest. as the
northern teams play the open passing
game and use signals.
The change OF style play by the Quesrs
in last Wednesdays game in the second
half was somewhat OF a surprise. They
seemed to lack steam, while in the first
half they made Il good showing of team
work
Next Friday evening the Corcoran reg
ulars'' and subs will play an exhibition
game in the National Guard Armory. 1t
will be the first appearance together OF
these teams. Heflner is developing into
a valuable player and plays leftback in
a very clever manner. Moriarty took
Guista's place at right forward in the sec
ond half against the Infantry and played
well.

The basketball team is making = very
| coed showing under Manager Coliiower
! notwithstanding four or five Of the best
! players have been on The sick list during
! the last month, and these include: Ockert
! Gallagher. Gates, Bo!ger, and Gooding The
/ latter two were able to play last week
! against the Queers.

/ game the team played three substitutes.

! and is probably one OF the best all-around
players In the League His goal throw
