UNIVERSITY AND
Y. NJ. c. 4. TONIGHT
Teams Line Up for State Bas-
kethaII Title on the
U Floor.
EACH FIVE HAS A CLAIM
ASSOCIATION HOPES TO WIN
TWO STRAIGHT.
EACH FIVE HAS A CLAIM

Despite the fact that the Y NJ. C. A.
basketball team was credited with state
championship by defeating the B. Y. U.
at Provo Thursday night, the University
of Utah has sprung up as a contender
for the honor, and its claim has been
recognized.
1t seems that, while the Y. NJ. c. A.
has won from the B. Y. u, two out of
three games, and the B. Y. U. has won
from the university in both games played,
the Y. M. c. A. has lost to the university
in the only regular game played.
To settle the matter TO the satisfaction
of all, the Y. NJ. c. A. and the university
fives will meet tonight at the Y. NJ. c. A.
In case the Y. NJ. c. A. wins tonight,
the association will allow the victory won
earlier in the season stand, which will
make the games between the two teams
stand one each. A third game for tht
title will be played Monday night at the
Y. NJ. c. A, and the Y NJ. G. A. five will
leave Tuesday for Chicago.
In ca Sc the university wins tonight. by
agreement the first game, which was not
played under the A. A. Z. rules, will be
thrown out and tonights game will be
considered the first of g series best two
out of three games for the title. The sec
Ond game will be played Monday. If the
university wins that game, it will have
the state title. If the Y NJ. G. A. wins
another game, Tuesday will be needed
to settle the title.
The university students and players are
elated over the prospect of meeting the
Y. NJ. c. A. for the state title. They
say that their five can win the two games
needed to bring them the title. One of
the largest crowds of the year is ex-
pected, and a great game of basketball as
well.
The Y. NJ. c. A. five is also confident
of holding the state title safe. Homer
HoisingtOn, the veteran guard of the team,
will not be seen in the game tonight. He
a he tod .oTo

afternoon to Miss Pearl Waterous OF this
city Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. HOisingtOn

Gingrieh Talks.
o. B. Gingrich. physical director of the
Y. NJ. c. A. makes the following state
ment of the universityY. NJ. c. A. series:
The Y. NJ. c. A. has agreed to play the
University of Utah on the following
basis: First game to be played upon the
7. NJ. c. A. floor on Saturday night; the
second game upon the university floor
Monday afternoon, and the third upon a
floor to he agreed upon agreeable to- both
teams on Tuesday evtning.
An exhibition game with the Y NJ. G. A
was won by the university in the early
part of the season, and ii has been agreed
TO consider that game in the series on
the basis of the Y NJ c. A winning on
Saturday night. which will make the series
one game to the credit of each team,
due to the fact tina t the Y. NJ. G. A. team
wants to get away on the trip to Chi
eago Tuesday evening II possible.
Should the university win the game to-
night, however. it will mark the beginning
of series for the state championship, be-
cause It would be unfair to the Y NJ.
c. A. team to play but one game and
consider that the game for the champion
ship.
This is the same ba sis upon which tht
Y. NJ. c. A. played with the B. Y. u OF
Provo, and 1t is the desire of theasso-
citation to treat each team in the state
on an equal basis. and in the meantime
be fair upon all sides.
