THROW BASKETS AT WILL
One of Prettiest Games Ever Witness
ed on Floor Here-EisitOrs
Cheered by Spectators.

Throwing baskets at will from all
corners of the floor at Rock Island
high school gymnasium last night. the
Muscaune five took the locals of their
feet and defeated them by a score of
y to 16. The visitors put up an ar
ticle Of basketball that was at least
the equal OF anything ever seen on the
local floor, and won an easy victory
in a pretty game. Their long shots
from the far end OF the floor were cas-
lily the best ever seen here. as they
dropped in baskets consistently that
would raise a cry of horseshoe here.
The locals got the first basket when
Taylor outjumped Norman Elliot, the
Muscatine star, and sent the ball to
Behnamann, who made a neat field
basket. The locals were soon left be-
hind. however, in the rush that fol-
lowed Norman Elliot, the star center,
rolled in FIVE field baskets and four
three throws during the half, while
Bloome and j. Elliot, the guards, each
made four field baskets before the fin
al whistle for the half was sounded
Most of these shots by the guards were
made when they were more than half
the floors distance from the basket,
and received much applause from the
spectators The locals count in the
first half was made up by two field
baskets by Barker and one field and
four foul baskets by Behnamann The

FEW CHANGES In

Little Else.

New York. Feb. 4.-The intercol-
legiate football rules committee did
little more surgery work on the
game at a meeting in New York yes
terday. 1t reduced the intermissions
between the first and second and the
third and fourth quarters from
three minutes TO two minutes.
Another new rule provides that
throwing a player TO the ground after
the referee has declared the ball dead
may be considered unnecessary
roughness. An amendment was
adopted allowing only three men in
stead of FIVE to walk up and down
the field on each side of the line.
If the ball accidentally strikes an
official, provides another amendment
it shall not become dead, but play
shall continue.
A new rule adopted specifies that
all penalties under the rule regulat-
ing the forward pass shall be applied
from the spot OF the down and not
on the spot from which the pass was
made.
In rule IS, section 2, which pro-
vides that a player in catching a for
ward pass shall not be tackled or
shouldered until he has caught the

more than one step in any direction"

GILLETTE IN FAREWELL.

William Gillette, under the direction
of Charles Frohman, begins at the Hi
nois theatre, Chicago, next Monday ev-
ening an engagement of signal impOr-
lance The distinguished playwright
actor is announced for farewell ap-
pearances in a selection of his famous
successes, and the list is TO embrace
such stage triumphs as Sherlock
Holmes Secret Service" and The
Private Secretary" Sherlock Holmes
will be presented in the opening week
of the engagement and will be follow
ed the second week by The Private
Secretary" and the third week by Sc
cret Service" The repertoire for the
fourth and final week will be announc-
ed later. In his stirring civil war dra-
ma. Secret Service" Mr.. Gillette will
enact his original role of the spy-Iover
who, after penetrating the hostile
country and proceeding to thwart the
euemy's purpose against his own
country. falls under the sway of the
daughter of the commanding general
he was planning 20 destroy. His i'm
persOnation OF the susceptible scout IS
ranked among the best of his delinea-
tions. Though a war play. the produc-
tion is given absolutely without the
noise or carnage that attends the aver
age battle pieces. In The Private
Secretary Mr.. Gillette plays a befud-
died yet well-intentioned tutor whose
blunders and clumsiness involve him
and others in a mess of troubles and
predicaments. The role is pronounced
an astoundingly humorous creation for
the author and actor of such widely
dis-similar conception as that Of "Sher-
lock Holmes" Nr. Gillette as a laugh
provoker is certainly a novelty. II will
be hardly believed that MI Gillette
has played The Private Secretary"
over 1900 times. yet such is the record
OF his early career. The marinees OF
the engagement will be given on Sat
urdays only. No performances will be
given on Sunday evenings.
