DERBY BASKET
 TOSSERS TRIM
 LOCAL QUINTET

Something went wrong with the Bridgeport basketball team Saturday evening in Derby, the local talent losing 26-14 contest. The only reason the boys can give for their defeat is that tuck was not with them, that the ball was rolling with the Valley lads.
 At the end of the half half the score stood 10-6 in favor of the Der by players. Bridgeport tried hard but never could head off the advantage.
 McConochie and Kilmartin played a great game for the winners, while O'Malley and Langhammer shone for the Bridgeports. The game though rough was clean one in which team work and spectacular play were fea- tured. The line up and summary: Derby. Bridgeport. Iowa na1dar

TODROP
NAVY AND HOLY CROSS
Dartmouth Game With Tigers
May Be Played in New
York Next Fall.

PRINCETON. n. j., December 81
semi of1icial forecast of the 1912 foot ball
season in Princeton was obtained last
night from a reliable, but unathorita-
tive source The Navy will not be on
the Princeton schedule next season, and
Dartmouth will be played three weeks
earlier than this seasons game with the
New Englanders. Like the Navy game
this year, 1t will be the first real test OF
the season. October 10 is the probable
date of the Dartmouth game with either
Princeton or New York as the battle
ground.
The other colleges played this year
that will probably fail to appear on the
1912 schedule are Holy Cross and villa
nova. 1t is probable that a New Eng
land college. Williams; Amherst or Irin-
ity, will be scheduled for November -
the date between the Harvard and Yale
games and this college will supplant
Holy Cross. Manager Eberstadt states
that the schedules will be nine instead OF
ten, games next season. Princeton's poi
icy previous to this year was an eight
game schedule.
There is little doubt that the sea-
son will open on September % with Stew
ems, the first visitors this year, and it is
equally certain that Rutgers will play on
the following Wednesday. Lehigh, the
eleven which sprung an early season
scare this fall. will have a place again
next year. probably the following Satur-
day, October 3. and on October IL a
southern university, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute or Sewanee. will visit Jungle
town. The two weeks preceding tue
trim TO Cambridge on November will
be taken up with Dartmouth and Col
gate. respectively. and after the game on
November with a New England aggre-
cation, not yet decided upon, the season
will close with Yale as the drawing card
at Osborn Field on November ID.

NEW YORK. December 9-Melvin
Sheppard. the noted middle distance rum
ner, was successfully operated on yester-
day for an affliction of the throat DR..
Mooney, the attending physician. said
that Sheppard was resting comfortably
after the operation and his recovery was
only matter of several days.
Sheppard's complaint was an obstruc-

severely for many years. OF late he has
been so troubled with the disease. which
is a rare one. that he consented to go
under the knife in the hope that it would
relieve him of the intense pain.

Stories Told by Delegates.

Many of the delegates have addressed
| the councils of the brotherhood during
the week and some amusing and instruct
i've but plain and homely illustrations
have been used in these addresses. One
of the delegates, in talking of the fish
ing rights promised his tribe, which 1T
has been supposed has been reserved
forever to the tribe in its solemn agree
ments with the representative OF the
Great White Father told this story:
His brother was sick, and wanted some
fish to eat. He promised his sick brother
that he would go to the falls, where the
fish were running, and where they could
be easily Speared, and would there get
him some fish. When he got to the falls
he met white man.
The white man asked, What you come
for?'
The Indian answered, "Some fish for my
sick brother"
The white man asked. Have you a Ii
cense?"
The Indian replied, NO; these salmon
belong to my people. My people sold you
their land, but they reserved to them
selves the fish
The white man said, mo matter; you
have no license. you cannot catch fish. II
you catch fish I'll have you arrested.
At this time the Indian looked up and
saw a large bird flying over the falls.
| The bird swoOped down and caught
| fish. carrying it away in it's great talons
The Indian asked the white man, why
don't you arrest the bird? He has no
| license" The white man replied that he
could not catch the bird. The Indian
| then told the white man that he was
| going to get the fish for his sick brother.
| The white man replied, 'All right, but
I'll have you arrested next time
Gross Discrimination Charged.
In another instance an Indian owned a
beautiful allotment of land in rich and
fertile valley, inclosing which were slop-
| ing hills containing steep declivities. A
white man owned a ranch adjoining the
| Indians land Another white man owned
| q ranch farther up the valley. He de-
sired to have a road built down the val
ley and had a survey made by the county
authorities. The road, during the alb
| sence Of the Indian from his home, was
constructed through the middle OF his al
lotment. When he returned home and
| found that about eleven acres had been
taken from his land without his knowl-
edge or permission he hunted up the
man who had built the road and asked
him why he had built 1t across his ailot-
ment. , A..
surveyor established the road that way
The Indian told the white man that there
was other land adjoining his, and equally
available for road purposes, and asked
him why he did not build the road on that
land. The white man answered. "Oh, no,
that land belongs to white man. my
neighbor, he might object; he would not
want me to take his land for a road
The Indians claim that such instances
are by no means rare. Their rights are
not respected, they assert. and their
means of redress are not the same as
those accorded to other persons. They
hope through the influence and teachings
of the bro. herhood, to have such difficult
ties remeded.

WIN At BASKET BALL
Regulars Beat RosedaIe, So to

Memorial, 20 to Is.

Two Y. M. c. A. basket ball teams
won games in the Washington City
League last night in the Y. NJ. c. A.

the Regulars defeating the fast Rose
dale playground five, score IS to 1S.
The first game was the most exciting
of the two. although both were one-sided
affairs. In this game the Memorials
failed to show any kind Of class until the
last half, when it scored ten of its six
teen points. In the first half the Stall
warts by fast playing and good team
work ran away from its opponents and
when the session was over had sixteen
points to Memorials six. This big lead
proved too much of a handicap for the
club boys, but they showed a lot of grit
and made a hard tight in the last half to
take the game.
Goal shooting by McLaren of the Stall
warts and Murphy for Memorial and the
fine defensive playing OF Dreyenstock was
the feature of the game. McLaren tossed
seven goals from the floor while Muir
ply tossed tive and threw two free
losses. Several of McLaren's shots were
long and difficult. The score:

The second game. which was carded as
the big game of the evening, was too one
sided to be interesting, but despite the
big score which the Regulars run up on
the Rosedaie quint there were many good
plays. In this respect the Regulars were
the whole show, and its team work was
the best yet seen in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium
Before Rosedale had scored a single
point the boys wearing the colors of the

to keep from getting beat. and during the
two halves played nine players, or nearly
two teams. The Regulars were too fast,

were easily the stars of the game, their
goal throwing being very good Walk
