Saturday Afternoon, and Rivalry
Between Them Should Make
Exciting Contest

The u. S. c. college of law basketball
team will soon take one of the longest
trips ever taken by a southern team.
Nine men and a referee will go along
when the barristers invade the northern
end of the state and endeaVor to show
the northern teams the legal points
of the game. The lawyers team IS
composed of men that basketball ex-
perts say will be hard to beat. The
boys are spectacular individual players
and have developed team work such as
is seldom seen in college or high school
circles.
on the proposed trip the lawyers play
two and three games day, ana FOR
this purpose they practically have two
teams, with the exception OF center,
but here the lawyers have confidence
in Folsoms ability to hold his own
against all corners. The lineup OF the
two teams is:
Williams of U. C. and Goode, for
wards Folsom, center: Roberts and
Whitlock of Chicago central Y. M &.
A., being teammates for several years,
will hold the guard positions The
second team is composed of Newmire
and Lewis of the University of Michi-
gan. forwards; Selph and Richardson,
guards, with Folsom at center.

The schedule is one Of the hardest
ever played by any team in the United
States Manager Newmire was unable
to state the exact dates. as he has not
heard from all the northern clubs, but
the dates that have been filled are as

other Y. NJ. c. AS and high schools.
From present outlook the only"
football game in Los Angeles next
Saturday win be between the u. 5. G.
lawyers and the college of physicians,
and from all that can be CLEANED 1t
bids fair to be the best gridiron event
of the season. The Sawbones have a
team composed of such has beens as
Kidder, Rough, Stokes and Boyes.
While neither team has won a game
this season, and it is the first year that
either of the colleges has had an
eleven, 1t will by no means be an ex-
hibition of modern football that Will
be played on Bovard field next Satur-
day. Just to make things interesting,
IT is rumored that Manager Monk
Morgan and the manager of the doc
tors have placed a little side bet on
their respective teams
The barristers have sworn to SHOW
the docks the legal points of the
game and retrieve their past defeats.
While the doctors are not saying much
It looks as though they will be there
with the saws and knives and endeavor
to dissect the barristers' line and bottle
several touchdowns for future study.
The doctors intend to bring along a
small sized hospital to attend to their
rivals when they are through chewing
off a few ears and noses and doing
other small jobs for the barristers,
while not to be outdone by the doctors
the lawyers will have court In con-
slant attendance to try all disputes
and prosecute all charges of mayhem,
etc The lineup is as follows:
