BOYS CLUBS PROVIDE
WINTER SPORT SCHEDULE

Gymnasium work at the Coliseum
under the Associated Boys Clubs has
now been in progress for some time,
scheduled practices of the clubs hav-
ing begun early in the month. Five
clubs form the association this year,
totalling about 80 boys OF the Pres
byterian, Baptist, Christian, Method
list and South Methodist Sunday
schools. Great interest is being
shown in the work, which is conduct
ed by Scott Hamilton, the physical
director.
Each club has certain nights for
the use of the building, the exercises
beginning with dumb-bell work and
parallel bars for about twenty min
utes preceding the regular basketball
practice.
The schedule Of games for the sea-
son is now practically complete, and
will make up about thirty lnter-club
contests, each team to meet each OF
the others three times. These games
will begin the latter part of the
month, one at least during the holi-
days, and will continue with two re-
gular contests a week until the sche-
dule is played out, about the first of
April. This year, as last, 1t is plan
ned to play a preliminary contest be-
tween the juniors of the second teams
of the clubs represented.
A game is being planned for next
week between a picked team from
the players now practicing to repre-
sent the boys clubs and Murphy
team at the Murphy hall. Reports
say that the Murphy team is COM
posed of husky players who will put
up a hot contest, and the local boys
are working hard to be in trim.
The schedule Of practice nights fol-
lows: Christians and Baptists, Mon
and Thursdays; Presbyterians and
South Methodists, Tuesdays and Fri.
days; Methodists, Wednesdays and
Saturdays.

MURPHY TEAM is
DEFEATED AT BASKET BALL

The Boys Club all-star basketball
team defeated the Murphy players by
a score of 39 to IL. The game was
played at the Murphy grange halb
the local players reaching there short
ly before eigS o'clock. The contest
was not so one-sided as the score
would indicate, for the Murphy boys
having had the advantage of practice
on their own floor, which is noted for
its slippery surface, thus had handi-
cap to Offset the greater experience OF
the local basket tossers. Twenty
minute halves were played, with the
score II to at the end of the first
half. Murphy is reported as having
the foundation for very good team
and a regular schedule is being ar
ranged between this team and the
local boys club.

senate at z:oV O'CLOCK IN exactly the
same form as accepted by the mouse
last night.
All that remains 10 De done now
for the bill TO become law is the

by vote OF 43 to 80, confirmed
several presidential nominations and
adjourned at 4:01 o'clock for the
holidays. 1t will convene again
January IL.
Today's debate in the senate was
marked by much bitterness. Sena-
tor Bristow said the democrats had
played into the hands of the big
banking institutions.
It's exactly what they have want
ed all the time," he said. He also
denounced Senator Owen of Okla
homa, Joint auth of the bill with
Congressman Glass.
Senator Owen," he said, is a
stockholder in one of the largest
banks in st. Louis. In framing and
voting for this bill he merely favor
ed his own interests" ="
Senator Nelson also bitterly op-
posed the bill. He was one of the
minority members composing the
Joint committee from the house and
senate that considered the bill in
conference. Nelson claimed that the
minority members had been barred
from important conferences.
THE great republican state of
Minnesota" he said, was dis
franchised by the democrats so far
as voice in shaping this confer
ence bill was concerned"
Nelson also objected to the elm
ination of the provision forbidding
director of a member being a
director OF the federal reserve
board.
Several republicans, however,
voted for the bill. These included
Senator'S Jones, Norris and Weeks.
Those who voted against the mea-

Brady, Brandegee, Bristow, Catron,
Clapp, Dillingham;, Gallinger, Goff,
Gronna, Kenyon, LaFollette, Nc
Cumber, Nelson, Page, Perkins, Root,
Sherman, Smoot, Sutherland, Town
send, Warren and Works.
During the progress Of the debate
in the senate, Senator Owen intim-
ated that a bill to guarantee bank
deposits would be introduced later.
A similar promise was made in the
house last night by Majority Leader
Underwood.
1t was announced at the White
House that President Wilson had
prepared memorandum to follow
