READY TO FORM A LEAGUE

The basket ball IeVer SlfWch All
Hallows college yesterday. Last
season this college put a team in the
field without previous knowledge of
the game, more to help out the sport
than for any other reason The stu
dents who played became infatuated
with the game. and plans were laid for
a winning team this year. Yesterday O.
P. Daniel, late physical director Of the
Y. NJ. c. A, was engaged by the faculty
to take charge of All Hallows' gym
nasium, and was given instructions to
20 ahead and organize a frst-class
basket ball team. The announcement
that the University of Utah would take
up the sport this year helped to spur
All HaIlows along, and now it is ex-
pected there will be great rivalry be-
tween these two institutions.
The All Hallows has plenty Of avail
able material, if properly developed, to
make a strong aggregation and to de-
velop such a team is what Mr.. Dan
iel viii attempt to do. Among the
most promising players who are count
ed upon are the Tanning brothers.
Both of these men played last year,
I
veloped a system of team playing that
equaled that of any team in the league
Canning was a successful basket
thrOWer, and with a little coaching
would make a star center. Gallagher
and McKenna, members Of last years
team, are also possible candidates this
year,
Mr.. Daniel announced that active
practice would begin the coming week
and a surprise would be in store for
some of the older teams when the sea
son opened.
It now begins to look as if there
would be no difficulty in organizing a
city league this year. Last season. aft
er two weeks of hard rustling on the
part of several basket ball enthusi-
asts, a three-team league was or
ganized and played out a most sue
cessful season. A six-team league this
year can be organized, and from the
present outlook there will be more
than that number of teams asking for
admission. At the present time there
are seven teams in the city, with fhe
prospect Of two more. The Salt Lake
team is composed of last years Y. M.
c. A. team, and includes the Oldest
basket ball players in the city. The
university was organized the past
week, and will ask for admission. The
High school team has been organized
for some time and is ready to join.
These, with the regular Y. II. c. A,
L. D. S., company c. and All HallOws,
make seven teams that have signified
their intention of joining a league if
organized. Company H Of the national
guard is talking Of putting a team in
the field, and the Salt Lake Business
college has several good players among
it's members who may organize for the
winter season.
Some Of these teams may not come
up TO the expectations of the players,
but it is safe to predict that at least
six strong aggregatiOns can be brought
together. 1t is proposed to call a meet
ing the coming week. at which time the
new league will be talked over.

While so much is being said about
the mems basket ball teams, many
girls teams are being organized in. the
different schools. Basket ball is one
of the few sports that the gentler sex
can indulge in and derive great bene-
fits from. The High school has taken
the lead this year among the girl
teams, and has already three teams or
ganized. The grade schools are also
taking the game UP, and the outlook
for league among the girl teams is
most promising Last season a four
club league was a success from every
point of view, and many close and in
teTesting games were the result The
L. D. S. team won a silver cup, which
now stands in the college building. In
all probability a movement toward the
organization of a girls league will be
made before longs
The game scheduled between the All
Hallows and Y. NJ. c. A. at the Y. NJ.
c. A. gymnasium last evening failed
to come off. owing to a misunderstood
ing between the two teams The All
HallOws claimed that the team from
the school was the second team, and
none of the best players we're on hand
to play. They expected to meet the
second team Of the Y. NJ. c. A. When
the collegians arrived at the Chris
tians gymnasium they found Clark. a
first team man, in the lineup and re-
fused to play.
The Y. NJ. G. A. said il the game was
played Clark would be one of the men
/ in the team, and as they could not
come to any agreement, the game was
called of.
