had a chance with their speedy OPP
ponents, and the fna score, % to 0, in

Both teams were somewhat crippled by
the absence of regular players. and the
winning team was outweighed slightly
by the losers. Two touchdowns were
scored in h first half by the Quick
steps, but both attempts to kick the
goals in that period were failures and
the half ended 10 to 0. In the last half

The inelegibility of several of the

some bearing on the final score.

this rule would increase

them. IL they don't follow the rules
that are framed to make the game
clean, more willing athletes Will re-
place them. The A. A. u, in all the
contests that the organization I'M
mediately controls, provides for the
strict enforcement of h rules. n
The contests thus played are usually a
treat Just as these games are treats,
so are those we witness not treats.
Most of them are Nightmares, and ter
rifle ones at that.
sEIt is generally the case with local
basketball games that the players have
the sweaters torn off their backs or in
jured playing the game as they do
now. 1t is high time for the managers
to get to work to remedy these faults.
1t would be an easy matter, and the
good results will certainly repay them
for all the trouble they may have. The
so-called new rules are the ones to
have observed. They provide for a
clean game, with a premium on speed
and science. AS it is now, the team
that has the heavier players is the one
that comes out victorious. The true
object of basketball is moi upheld in
the present local games. because the
better players-that is, the speedier and
more scientifc-are battered down by
the husky men who have played the
"roughhouse' article so long.
