George Purves, who was declared pro-

has received word that the chances of be-
ing reinstated this year are very slight.

meet the first time this season in the City

teams are practicing hard for this game.
The Y. NJ. c.. A. basketball team will go

five will play Y. NJ. c. A. in Indianapolis
later in the season.
Early in February the Y. NJ. c. A. team
will go to Chicago for several games with
the teams of that city. The first game will
be with the Central Y. NJ. c. A, and Man
ager Purves hopes to arrange games with
the Ravenswood Y. NJ. 9. A, the team
that won the championship in Chicago last
fall. Games may also be arranged with
Chicago or Northwestern University.
Since the organization Of a basketball
team at e. c. Atkins & Co., a number of
other teams have been organized in manu-
featuring concerns. a schedule is being ar
ranged for the coming spring for two
games a week. The Z. G. Atkins team has
