NEW BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Steps Being Taken Toward This
End by Small Colleges.

The organization OF the Intercollegi te
Basketball League. which includes Column
bia. Yale, the University OF Pennsylvania,
Princeton. Dartmouth and Cornell has
caused such general dissatisfaction among
the smaller Eastern colleges that talk OF
another league is now heard. This discon-
tent was increased when II was learned
that a rigid rule had been passed by the
association forbidding game being played
by league team with any college not in
the organization. This made big holes in
the schedules OF several or the smaller
colleges, which had planned to play games
with the big teams.
A movement, headed by Sol Perlman,
manager of the College OF the City OF New
York basketball team, is on foot TO or
ganize another league. Several of the col
leges interested have already given their
official sanction and expressed a willing
ness TO enter In the newly proposed organi-
zation. The difficulty Is not in obtaining a
sufficient number Of colleges to join, but
lies rather in securing those near TO each
other. The colleges under consideration are
wesleyan, Brown, Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, Pennsylvania State, Roches-
ter and Syracuse. st. Lawrence University
has already applied for admission and will
in all proba bllity be accepted as member.
The newly awakened interest In basket
ball as an indoor winter sport assures the
league OF interesting competition. In recent
years the smaller Eastern colleges have
turned out brilliant quintets, several of
which have taken the measure Of the teams
representing the colleges now included in
the intercollegiate Basketball League.

Fourteen Players Pa ired

The first holding OF the national Class e
amateur 1872 balk line billiard championship
will begin Tomorrow night upon the table
in the Mornngside Billiard Academy,
Lenox avenue and 125th street. Fourteen
players have entered and qualified accord
ing TO the rules Of the National Associa-

which the association planned for this sea-
son. 1t was launched as an experiment,
and the size OF the entry list indicates be-
yOnd question the success Of the venture.
The sanction for the tournament was
granted according to the rules of the gov

first of the year.
The list OF contestants includes H. w.

MIODIES BUSY THIS WINTER
Keen Interest Taken in Various
Indoor Sports.

AnnapoIis Jan. 13-The officers who have
special duties in connection with athletics
at the Naval Academy have met with much
success In their efforts to keep large pro-
portion Of the mdshipmen busy during
the winter in some line Of sport either as
candidates for one of the teams whlch
represent the Academy or as contestants
in the numerous individual, inter-class and
irter-company contests. The proportion or
midshipmen not engaged along some line OF
other is probably smaller than it has ever
been at this time of the year.
The sports in which the season has now
hegun or which will begin within a few
days. are basketball. fencing. gymnastics
wrestling and swimming. In all of these
the midshipmen have schedules OF games
with outside teams. Soccer has oeen
added to the list of winter sports. and
squad OF about forty has been at work.
No matches. however. will be played until
neAt year.
Athletics at the Naval Academy are con-
Quoted upon a systematic basis. Something
is required OF every midshipman, and. after
once choosing his sport, his attendance. Is
demanded during the whole season. Thus
the teams do not suffer from the dropping
out OF players, except through accident.
A feature of the athletic work at the
academy is the fact that excellence along
any line secures for the company to when
the winning mldshipman belongs certain
number Of points In the competition for
the honor OF carrying the brigade flag dur
ing the ensuing year. This is high honor
at the academy. and one which delights
every member of the winning company.
The fact that points can be secured through
the athletics competitions, as well az by ex-
cellence in professional branches. adds zest
to the contests. and has been found to have
Welded excellent results

MORE NOISE FOR LESS NOISE
Thomas A. Edison Says Honk
Horn Is Noisy Without Effect.

Thomas A. Edison thinks unnecessary
automobile noise might be decreased by
the use of a louder warning signal than
the so-called honk-horn. The idea is a
new one and was prompted by the recent
anti-noise crusade in Orange. where he
lives. and in other New Jersey towns. The
agitation is largely directed against drivers
OF automobiles.
II believe" said Mr.. Edison. that auto
mobiles should be made to carry a louder
more efficient warning device than the
bulb horn. In order to attract any atten-
tim with the Iatter-especially where traf-
nc is dense-it is necessary to sound II
almost continuously. This means an inces-
SAINT din OF noise. but IT is ineffective noise.

GET WATER BY A WINDMILL
Small Areas May Be Irrigated In This
Way-centrifusal Pump Is Recon-,
mended az Best.

Every farmer could afford to pay
from $3.50 to Sc an acre for the in
crease in yield that irrigation would
give. That is the estimate placed on
Inc cost of irrigating small areas, by
II. b. Walker, drainage and irrigation
engineer with the Kansas Agricultural
college.
A centrifugal pump is the best
adapted where great amount OF wa
ter is required. A three-inch pump will
require a four to eight horse power
engine to pull it. Oil is the cheapest
fuel The coal a steam engine would
burn would exceed more than three
times the cost of oil fuel An ordi.
nary engine burns a pint to two pints
Of oil for each horse power every
lay.

U
:em where the well supply is limited.
The soil soaks up too much water as
II runs down the bitches in small
streams, so the water is pumped into
large ponds, and at the proper time
the field or patch is covered at once.
In this way. the water gets to tho
plants quickly, instead of wasting by
seepage and evaporation.
Sources of water by irrigation are
rivers and natural water courses,
wells and stored storm water Their

THE HARVESTER TRUST.

The International Harvester Trust
which has had a monopoly of prac-
tically every implement used in the
farming industry, has been forced
TO kowtow to the government Land
is to undergo the process known as
''unscrambling its eggs" While IT is
admitted that the dissolution of the
trust. like others which has preced-
ed is not all that might be desired
in the way of correcting the evils
of monopoly, yet it disclosed secret
methods of business, separates a
great combine into individual parts
which can be more easily supervised
Whenever congress drafts an effect
i've plan of regulation, and which
cannot act as n unit except through
a conspiracy which is punishable
by law.
In the Harvester case. however, an
important factor is that the selling
scheme, by which the monopoly eN-
tended its operations to the retail
distribution. therefore, makes for
better conditions in the agricultural
implement trade, and whatever crit
icism may be made of 1t. the TACT
must be recognized that to make
the powerful trusts yield even TO
small extent is an achievement for
which Attorney General Wickershain
deserves no small measure OF cred
it.-Telluride Journal.
