FURY OF C. q. HAS NOVEL PLAN.
Will Attempt to Bring S. A. Colleges
Together in Basket Ball.

Assistant Manager Fury of the Cath
olic University basket bali team, VINO
is to be the next years manager, mas
novel scheme on hand for next year. Ills
plan Is to endeavor to bring the six lead
ing colleges of the southern Atiantlc
states together to form southern AT
lantic conference. The six colleges
which he proposes to bring together are
Washington and Lee, st Johns or An
napolis Georgetown, George Washing
ton University, Virginia and the Cath
ole University. If there is any other
college of worth in the basket ball field
it, too, would be included. Mr.. Fury is a
hustler and has already set to work to
bring about this union. he is IN COM
munication with several OF the present
assistant managers OF the different teams
and they have pledged their support, as
it is an excellent scheme in their belief
The object of this conference is to in
future years settle without doubt the
right and just claim TO the Southern At
lantic basket ball championship In
Assistant Manger FNlTy's belief, the SIX
above mentioned teams are the ones
which should be brought together to de-
eide the championship in the future. 1t
is to be noticed that the Navy team is
not included in the list. This is because
it is not considered that any team that
QOeS play OIL lIS OWN lipOI Has iIc
right to contest for the championship.
1t is very much to be regretted that
the cadets cannot leave the Academy
and play, as there is no doubt that they
would give any team in this part of the
country a run for it's money. A team
that plays on only its own floor has
great advantage over team that is con-
stantly changing it's place of play by
visiting different teams during the sea-
son. and this can hardly be denied.
The teams will play a series of two
games with each of the other teams. This
will mean ten games Tor each team. This
will allow the team to arrange other
outside games and Will not necessitate
the dropping of any team from
schedule.
The plan if it succeeds and is accept
ed, should greatly intensity the rivary be-
tween the different teams of this section
and should afford the lovers of the game
some great sport. Besides the sporting
side of it. it should be a great help to
the teams financially. Again, if this
plan succeeds. perhaps in n similar way
the foot ball and base ball Southern At
lantic championships could be decided
and with great pleasure to the followers
of the game.

Games for Championship.

Games for Championship.
The games for the championship of the
state will be played on the following
dates: April 26 and May 81. st. Johns:
| April 10, Johns Hopkins: April 30. Mount
ST Mary's: March % and April 80. Mount
st. Joseph's; April ), Rock Hill. and May
| TO- Western Maryland. The games with
ST. Johns and Johns Hopkins are the
most important on the schedule, and the
Aggies would rather win those than any
others
According to present conditions. Catho-
lie University and Gallaudet are the only
two Washington schools that are to be
played. Contests are pending with
Georgetown. but no definite agreement
has as yet been arranged.
1t is hard to tell just what the outcome
of the present season will be as far as
the success or non-success OF the season
is concerned. The Farmers have only
three men from last years nine back.
Those three are practically certain to
hold down places on the team. but the
other positions will have to be filled from
among the new men. Shpley, who
played i'm 1911. is back and it is likely
that he will help great deaf.
Three Old Men Ready.
Knode. who played short last spring;
leunull lniTu DdSSIIdH anu captain vi
the nine last year and Hoffecker. who
has been the mainstay in the box for
two years, are ready to take up practice
as soon as it starts. All three of these
men are very creditable performers.
Their work last season was excellent.
and it is expected that Hoffecker will be
numbered among the best pitchers in
the south this year.
There is more base ball enthusiasm
this year than in a long while. Every
body in the school seems anxious for the
season to start and it is likely that the
largest squad that has ever reported for
a nine will be out next week when work
is started
While the Farmers have only three
men back from the 1912 nine, they eX-
pect to make a good showing in the race
for the championship of the state There
are several of the new men who have
made regulations elsewhere in base ball,
and it Is fairly sure that credfable
team will be turned out

usual attracted many spectators.
Playing in far superior form from start
to finish, the Middies swept the Wash
ingtonians off their feet, at times scor-
ing two or three baskets in rapid sue
cession. The visitors put up an aggres-
sive game, but without avail

Tillage. After setting, the planta-
ton should receive good surface till
age for the first two years. When
the field comes into bearing little till
age can be given during the growing
season but it will be possible to till
with shallow working tools in the fall
and early spring.
Cutting. The plants should grow
two full years before the shoots are
cut. Beds are sometimes injured by
cutting when the plants are too young
or during too long period each sea-
son. The bed should be cut clean,
no matter how small the stalk.
Stalks should not be cut too deep as
the green part of the stalk is better
than the white part which is cut
deeper. Some growers prefer to break
the shoots rather than cut them, as
there is less danger of injuring the
newer shoots. The stalks are usually
sold in punches four or five inches in
diameter. These are tied with soft
string or held with rubber bands.
The butt end of the bunch should be
cut off square. Some growers use a
machine for punching while others
use large, round bottomed teacup.
The stalks are put into the cup, tip
end first and tied, cutting off the
butt ends after tying. The average
bunch is seven to nine inches in
length. From four to five thousand
punches can be produced on an acre.
Growing Seedlings. One year old
plants can be bought from the seeds
men or can be home grown. The seed
is sown in the spring in drills from
foot to eighteen inches apart and
covered with about an inch of soil.
The plants are thinned to three or
four inches apart in the row. Give
frequent tillage during the summer,
and set the following spring. If set
at distances of three by four feet in
the field, one acre will require $500
plants, and one pound of good seed
should produce these plants. Con-
overs Colossal and Palmetto are
probably the most widely grown vari-
cites.
General Care. Usually the cutting
season will not extend later than July

allowed to grow until late fall to
nourish the roots. Without heavy

KEEP ROADS In GOOD REPAIR.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Office
of Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture is making strong effort
to focus the mind of the country on
the fact that maintenance and etfec-
tive repair are of equal Importance
with the actual Improvement of bad
roads. Investment of money in new
roads does not become real economy
until provision is made for keeping
these new roads in condition after
they are built. If new road was
built and then allowed to fall into dis
repair much of the original invest
ment is simply wasted.
Europe, generally speaking, is ahead
of the United States in the matter of
road improvement, but Great Britain
is struggling with problem similar
to the one that confronts the people
of the United States. In England,
Scotland and Wales there are no fewer
than 2, 140 separate authorities who
between them, administer It's, 487
miles of roads, or an average of only
81 miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities there are over 200
burghs, one-half of which have but
10 miles of road apiece to maintain.
Needless to say, such minute mile
age is insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around, and renders the employment
of skilled engineer impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials of the Office of Public
Roads when called upon for assistance
by the various states are pointing out
that road building is an art based on
a science, and that trained men and
experienced men are necessary to Sc
cure the best results from the ex-
penditure of road funds.
Statisticians have found that al
though the average expenditure on
the improvement of roads exceeds
one million dollars a day, large
portion of the money in the United
States is wasted because of the failure
to build the right type OF road to meet
the local requirements Or the failure
to provide for the continued main
tenance of the improvement.
