BASEBALL LEAGUE
University Plans to Include Territory
schools in Schedule-N9tes Of
the University.

The students of the university are
very jubilant over their recent VIC
tory in the basketball game with the
team from the Agricultural college.
The game was an exceptionally fine
one. The boys from Las Cruces were
considerably heavier than the varsity
0oys but were outpOinted in every
thing that makes a good basketball
player-quickness of eye, head work
and footwork.
The university team made surpris-
ingly few fouls. The score was A to
25 This game closes the basketball
season and leaves the university the
territorial champions.
Practice for baseball will begin in
a few days and the probabilities are
that the school will have a very
strong team. Preparations are being
made for the organization of an inter-
collegiate baseball league which will
include the university, Agricultural
college, Socorro School of Mines, Mil
itary institute at Roswell and the Uni
versity Of Arizona at Tucson. Some
very interesting college baseball
games may be looked forward to this
spring and in the fall.
