tertainer, and it is the opportunity of a
lifetime which no one should neglect.
The regular price of admission to
these entertainments is $l.OO; but OF
account Of a misunderstanding in re.

EXPLANATION

We are sorry of the conflict between
Byron W. King and the railroad ball,
but had made contract with him in De-
cember and he thought he had engaged
the Opera house for next Friday eve
ming. The university is out 500 pc,
night for him and he lies over here,
hence there is no other way out. TIE
school gets one-half of the net pre-
ceeds and is out nothing.

81 PasO Took Deming Basket Bali
Players for Easy HARRIS.

1--WE did everything within The bounds
of right and reason to have the game
between the Ell Paso and Deming teams
played as announced" said Coach W.
W, Jaeger to THE GRAPHIC yesterday,
but without avail.
In the first place, we were to play
on their grounds, surely point in IA
vor of the city team. They wanted to
play seven on a team, while our girls
were accustomed to six PLAYERS each;
and to this we agreed. They objected
t, my acting as an official Of the game,
and we consented to let them have all
the officials.
at is always customary in fact the
rules provide that when disputes or dis
agreements arise, the visiting team
shall be granted one concession. Now
we asked that the cross lines in the field
be eliminated and we would then play
the game, giving in on all other dis
puted points. We went farther, and
offered to play with five against their
seven provided this one concession were
granted but it was fatty refused us,
The FL Paso people wanted everything
their own way, and we just couldn't
see it. The Deming team has a we'll
earned reputation o sustain, and we
felt that allowing the III Paso people
their own officials, playing on their own
grounds, under other than the regular
blsket ball rules, playing the number
o members on each team according to
tier custom, We're over,ures enough.
As matter of fact, the elimination o,
the CROSSINGS would have given our
girls no handicap over the III Paso
team. 1t merely meant a clear field
for play.

road fare to the Pass city, we felt I'M
der no obligations to play under the cir
cumstances, We are willing to meet
FL Paso at any time and play the regu-
lAtion game, and we have no fears OF
the result
"When our final decision had bee
reached, the members of the cam wi.
were staying with families Of the city
team, felt that they could hardly ac
cept their hospitality further and wen,
