LIVELY GAME OF "sockER."
Princeton Tigers mt New York Put
Up Great Football,

Up Great Football.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10. - Princeton's
lively band of 'socker.' or association,
football players came to town and
showed the football followers of the
metropolis a thing or two about this
style of game that had not been expect
ed of Old Nassau's sons.
They were pitted against the eleven
of the Staten Island Football club. one
of the strongest teams in this vicinity,
and, though they did not win. theirs
was Il virtual victory in that they pre-
vented the islanders. who up till then
had met with but one reverse during a
los active season, from scoring a sin
gle goal.
The result of the match, contested al
the Cove, West New Brighten, was
tie, and the honors of the game were
fairly evenly divided, the c%ollegiGns do
ing the better work in the first half and
the home team bl1cing up considerably
in the second. The tigers plainly showed
the excellent effects of constant prac.
tice and efficient coaching. and deil
play during the opening period was the
fastest seen in this vicinity since the in
ternational game played by the Pill
grims against New York last October.

a college sport. The game has been
played at q number of big western col
leges. more notably Minnesota and
Wisconsin, for several years. but never
acquired the popularity which is being
bestowed upon it this season. For the
past two years Chicago university has
had a rafting good five and with the
advent of the game into the sports
played by the big nine" word comes
hat the Midway institution is looked
upon as a strong factor in the race.
Last season Wisconsin participated in
the collegiate basket ball champion
ships at Columbia university. and was
beaten by the latter team in a elise
contest. Minnesota was not represent
ed, but that school undoubtedly had an
aggregation which could have attracted
attention had the college been ent cred.
This year Yale is looked upon as most
prominent in eastern collegiate basket
ball circles. That institution has a trip
scheduled which occupies three weeks
time and which takes the team through
the southern states. north to Evans
ton. H., through Indiana. Michigan and
Ohio.

M. c. A. team, basket ball champion
Of the world, has been in oblivion evcr
since winning the honor at the St.
Louis worlds fair in the summer OF
1884.
There are three changes which stand
out prominently in the basket ball
rules as issued for the season of 1866.
The most important is that the line
from which the ball is tossed toward
the basket after a foul is called upon
the imposing team, shall be 90 feet
from the goal. instead of Is. as hereto
fore. This change puts a great deal
more interest into the game. for the
reason that so many contests have been
won by the mere tossing of fouls. The
goals are now harder to throw from the
foul line and the game is made much
faster. The other changes merely make
clear cloudy rulings of last season.
They relate TO the three men on the
ball" and the stepping outside clauses
over which there was so much dispute
among referees last season. Conse-
quently the game as played this season
shows great improvement Over that OF
last season.
