Baseball In a Tub

Baseball in tub, the latest in ath-
letics on the Pacific coast, was
inaugurated when a large num-
Der of fans gathered in the 500,-
000-barrel oil reservoir of the
Standard Oil Company at Bak-
ersfield, CAL, to watch a game
between the Standard men and
the Kern river offices employees.
The teams played on the floor
of the tank and the huge walls

"Murph" King stars.

always stood by boxing. The first cham

were, were always heroes in England.
1t seems strange to have the authorities
disprove of the meeting between Moran

Virginia Is unfortunate.

To lose its best haifback on the very
eve Of the championship game, Virginia
meets with the worst Of luck. Nothing
but sympathy can be expressed for the
Charlottesville supporters who have
counted on this player to shine In the
struggle with Georgetown Saturday.
However, the faculty has done the
proper thing in barring a player whose
amateur status Is not above suspicion
and such action cannot but knit closer
the bonds of friendship between the two
universities
