TO Build Your Fire.
From Field and Stream.

A good many writer's say build
your fire beside tree to get the up
draught. These men are not practi-
cal. A fire for cooking should be ''as
big as your hat and built in the most
open spot you can find-entirely away
from everything. The smoke will take
care of itself then and never get in
your eyes unless you get to leeward.
If the wind is from the north you
should face either east or west when
you cook, and the wind will blow

The tie Of the C0rcoran Cadet Corps,

trict Basketball League championship
race was broken the past week. The
Carroll Institute team is now perched
on the top round.
II is a toss up between the Carols
and the Corcorans. and there are many
prone to believe that the Mortons are
as good as either, in spite OF their recent
defeat at the hands of the Institute boys.

As a result there were only three

played in this city. The West Branch
team has heen playing the sane men for

BASKETBALL RULES AS yala7s
POPULAR COLLEGE SPORT
May Take Lead in Winter Athletics.

Basketball as a college sport has come
into remarkable prominence the last
year. and bids fair within q year or so
to become the leading branch Of winter
athletics in many colleges Hockey &
year OF so ago was popularity hailed as
the coming college winter sport, but the
reason why basketball is so rapidly dis
tancing hockey in student favor is not
far TO seek.
The games Of -he intercollegiate
Hockey League are all played in the St.
Nicholas Rink in this city, and are,
therefore. fought out on n-college
grounds In basketball the case Is re-
versed. In the intercollegiate League the
members are Yale, Harvard. Princeton,
Columbia. and Cornell schedule OF
twenty games is played. IN which each
team meets every other twice. Yale for
example. plays two games with Harvard,
one at New Haven and the other al Cam
bridge In this way every one of the five
colleges has the benefit of playing be-
fore its own students, arousing their in
terest and having them to count on for
spectators.
II is not difficult TO understand the
popularity Of basket ball with those who
play It as well as with those who watch
it. Contrary to ignorant prejudice. few
sports require more endurance and stay
ing power. For forty minutes, the

are constantly on the go. .exerting every
energy and putting forth every effort.
The poorly trained or physically uude
veIoped have no chance to succeed in
varsity basketball as it is played today.
As an evidence of what physicians and
trainers think of the qualities required
for participation in basketball. it is OF
interest 20 note that Columbia's gymna-
