COULD Be A
KING YEARS AGO

Pity the poor fighters. They were
born a few centuries too late. Now
adays a champion, if he is lucky, can
make a pretty tidy fortune, about as
much as the average fairly successful
hardware dealer in a middle-sized
town can make but he can no more
approach the real upper class than
he can eat the moon.
But just a few hundred years ago
a real fighter could be king. Nothing
less than that, a king. ALI of the royal
houses were founded by pugs in tin
suits. The Black Prince had nothing

William of Normandy could not class

CLARK DISLIKES
TRAINING system

Pittsburg Jan. 2t.-Much of the
whole training system in vogue in the
National and American leagues is just
SO much bunk" according to the
opinion of Manager Fred Clarke of
Pittsburg.
IF a ball player is a ball player"
Clarke says, tits like swimming-he
can always play with a moderate
amount of practice. What he needs
more than anything else at the start
of the season is endurance. Long
walks over hills, handball games and
that kind of training gives the player
endurance, wind and vigor, and takes
off the ~superfiuous flesh.
DR.. William e. Keane, Grub physl-
clan of the tigers, is of practically the
same opinion as Clarke. Kea be-,
lieves the training trips of the clubs
could be reduced greatly in length, and
that a great amount of hard and tedi-
Gus work could be eliminated If the
players would take systematic exer-
else during the winter months. This
does not mean, Keane says, that the
men should keep in training twelve
months In the year, as many of the
college men do, but he does mean
that a little exercise taken every day
would be a splendid thing, especially
for the ball tossers who are disposed
to take on flesh during the winter
months.
The work on the training trip is
divided into two classes. In the first
place, the men get ready for practice;
then comes the practice itself. Any
one who has been compelled to take
Off weight by the wholesale knows
that there is little joy connected with
either of these features Of the pre-
season workouts. Usually after each
! training trip is closed the fat boys say
! they will never again allow themselves
to get out of shape. But the next
| spring the same old tale Of woe is
heard.
Just imagine whar q benefit and
saving it would be- Clarke said, III
the men could be sent south every
| year at somewhere neal their playing

and tit as fiddies in a comparatively
short time. AS it is now, it takes

again. This week or ten days Is

CASSELTON FIVE
WAS SHOWED UNDER

STYLE AND EASILY DEFEAT
THE VISITORS BY A SCORE or
4s TO 12-To PLAY A. G. PREPs
THURSDAY.

Out-played at every stage of ths
game, the Casselton high school lost
its basketball game with the midgets
from the Fargo high last Saturday.
The final score was 4s to IL. Although
the playing of the locals was rather
poor al times. the game on the whole
was good. The visitors showed up
much weaker than was expected, two
goals being all they secured from the
field. Their guarding, especially in the
second half, was very loose.
The midgets got started well and in
spite OF numerous hard-luck shots had
rolled twenty points to their opponents,
three when the whistle blew for the
end of the first half, Casselton start
ed strong in the second half but the
squirt failed to last. Coach Robinson
gave a number of subs a try-out, Mes
bit being the only regular to play the
full game. Booth got into the game
for a few minutes and used his one
hand to advantage.
Nesbit was the star for the local
quint and Dalrymple for the visitors
Jack Tierney acted as referee in a
very satisfactory manner.

RUEBER'S men TOO
FOR VISITORS
pIsHED OUT CRUSHING DEFEAT
TO SCIENTISTS SATURDAY
NtGHT-FAReo TEAMS HAD NO
TRoUsLE WINNING FROM Wis.
iToRs-scoRE 60 TO 90.

The A. C.. basketball team admin
istered a defeat to the state school Of
science by the score of 81 to 20 on the
armory floor Saturday evening.
The game was the fastest and clean
est game seen on the local floor for
some time and very few fouls were
called. The scientists showed a great
reversal of form from that shown the
night before and not only did better
basket shooting but played the ball
better in passing and team work. The
aggfes We're at a handicap in breaking
up the visitors passes on account Of
the Waxed floor, but even with this
disadvantage they broke up their op-
ponents' rush for the ring and by a
few quick passes would work a man
under the basket for a count.
The greater number of the baskets
made by the locals were made on the
tip off after some very clever blocking,
the scientists being unable to per-
ceive the deceptive plays and fell easy
victims. Most of the points scored by
the losers were from individual play,
a man dribbling the length of the floor
and shooting. Captain Robbins was
injured during the first half but went
into the game for a part of the last
period, Captain Wheeler. also left the
game after five minutes Of play, his
late sickness making him unable to
stand a hard game, Simpson replaced
him and played his usual good game.
barrow played a good passing game
but was lax in covering his man. Cor
man covered well besides taIlying
eight points. Nolet played n of his
usual classy games and found the net
for ten goals and two foul throws,
Hackett also proved deadly towards
his old teammates and might have
stood better watching. GILES and
Toney played the star games for the
science school being especially good
on the dribble.
