The Y. NJ. C. A. basketball teams of
this city and Moline were scheduled to
meet for a practice game Saturday
evening, but through misunderstood.
ing the game was not played. Both
managers thought that the game was
to be played on their own floor and
the teams accordingly dressed and
spent some time practicing and wait
ing for their opponents to show up.
Finally Moline became anxious and
telephoned to the local association
and asked if the team was to play and
received the answer that the team was
already on the floor awaiting the ar
rival of the Moline aggregation. Then
| it was discovered that the same thing
was-true of the Moline team and as it
was-tOo late for either team TO dress
and reach the other gymnasium in
