BASKETBALL
FOR The
WINTER

After the football season is over,
and possibly before, basketball will be
in full sway at the Y. NJ. c. a. The
boys have been hard at practice for
some time. The classes have not yet
been formed for team work, but this is
to be done shortly. When the teams
are thoroughly organized it is propos ID
to meet all corners and the old rivals,
Washington agricultural college, can
have the first game if they wish. Ply
steal Director Myers has developed play
ers in the past who have been about
as fast as anything in the country.
Last year the team went to Pull
man and was very decisively taken into
camp by the w. A. C. team That
defeat was due to the fact that the
team sent from here was composed of
players who had never played together
before. Men from both the first and
second teams were sent there.
When the Farmers" played the re-
turn game in this city they were given
a good beating by the first team who
avenged themselves plenty.
Cisco Bullivant, assistant physical Iii
rector, is putting the young athletes
through exercises every evening and
some experts are being developed.

Fights at Newport.

Long have the sports of Spokane
prayed for the excitement of boxing
match. Owing to the attitude of the
police of the city-and other influences
the sport of glove contest with Spo-
kane fight fans is "A thing of history.

of fight scheduled to be pulled off
at Newport Saturday night Nick
Brown has the bout in hand at his
theater in Viewpoints cold town." just
across the line in Idaho. The princi-
pals are Bunker Hill" the light weight

with the gloves, and Billy Smith, who

to finish. Some preliminaries have
also been arranged for. The event will

slip, use your handkerchief or a towel,
not chalk or resin.
Do not run. Walk fast, four steps.
Start with the right foot and deliver the
ball with the left foot in front Do not
bend your arm or back. Keep your
feet apart, bend your knees and de,
liver the ball when your right hand

The ball should strike the alley within
two feet in front of your left or front
foot.
Form an imaginary line to the right
side of the head pin and bowl on that
line. Use just enough speed to MAKE
the ball go straight to the head pin
Pay no attention to your score. Better
leave all but the No. pin off the alley

cry.
Let the other fellow use the curve
He will find 1t expensive. The curved
ball is hard to control. The most ex
pert players acknowledge that it will
not work on some alleys. The surface
of the beds must be Gust right" the
polish perfectly dry and not toe
smooth. The bowler must use just
the right speed. Dirt or chalk or alley
will change the course of the ball.
Bowling is the only athletic sport
and about the only indoor game that
does not require an instructor, ant
it is often claimed that no two bowlers
bowl alike and that you have nothing
to learn. This is mistaken idea. II
beginners were instructed how to start
they could secure better results and
without injury to themselves.

The Nelson, b. c., Daily News has
the following concerning the Poplar
mines exhibit here:
IN. j. Morgan and Phil O'Connor Of

Gle says that the exhibit attracted
a great deal of attention from all classes
of visitors. Laymen were struck by the
marvellous richness of the small mug
gets and gazed with wonder on the
chunks of gold that covered the pieces
of rock exhibited, but the old-time
miners, the wise men from California,
looked at the immense specimens of tel
luride and threw up their hands. "

HESTON.

1t has been said that the Michigan
eleven of the past three years was
a machine. without individuality, yet,
notwithstanding this, the team contain
ed stars of the first gridiron magni-
tude. Last season Joe Maddox, pa
Gregory, Heston and Redden were big
attractions, and they are members OF
this years eleven,
Each was a star in his own way.
There were other stars, but they are
not in school now. When Yost re-
turned to Ann Arbor last August he
found the four veterans ready to form
the keystone of the machine he WAS
to construct They were tried material
on whom he could rely implicitly.
In Gregory, Michigan has center

is a bog man, but fast on his feet, ag'
gressive to an extreme that almost
reaches ferceness. He passes the bail

as steady and reliable as good clock.
Joe Maddox last year made name
for himself as a tackle. His line
plunges in the tackle-back formations
were fierce. He generally gained his
distance, and then some. His work
in line-smashing and breaking up inter
ference, as was as tackling, saved the
Wolverine team many times. This year
he is below the faculty allowance in stu
dies, and has not broken into the games
so far.
Captain Redden has few equals in
the west as an end His wonderful
work in the Minnesota game last year,
was deadly fir the hopes of the big
northern college supporters. He can
sprint with the fastest, and is gener-
ally waiting for the man who catches
punts, ready to down him in his tracks
when the ball is caught, but those who
know him see in him another Hinck-

Martin Candle. the lightweight fighter
of Fall River, Mass. who is matched
to fight Jimmy Britt. the California
lightweight champion, 25-round boat
before the Colna A. c. of Frisco on
November 10, will be well backed by
the sporting men of Fall River. The
latter think so well of his chances
that they intend to send $4,000 com
mission TO the coast on him.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-10-20

Lou Houseman, the well known sport
ing writer, thinks Martin Candle is a
wonder and will hand Jimmy Britt a
defeat when they meet. In speaking
of the lightweight he says:
"On form and dope this is where J.
Edward Britt gets his at last. This
young Candle is the best white light
weight in the ring today, according to
the most competent eastern judges. He
can do l2S at 8 o'clock or 1873 pounds
ringside; he has a fighting head and
two fighting fists, with one of them the
most Furnishing left seen since Harry
Harris was in his glory. He disposed
of Danny Duane a few nights back,
handling Danny like baby, while the
way he trimmed Jack O'Keefe was
enough to give the Chicasoan's admirers
heart failure. Candle i. only 10, sober
and well behaved and certainly has
brilliant future before him."
