AUCUSTANA GETS
FIRST VICTORY
Basketball Team From Linds
borg, Kan, Falls Before
Locals.

Augustana drew first blood in the
series with Bethany college of Linds-
borg, Kan, last night when the local
college decisively defeated the Kan
sans by the score of 43 to Is. The
game was much harder fought than
the score would indicate, the Jay
hawkers fighting desperately every
minute of the contest Augustana, how
ever, displayed superior teamwork, and
the stronger endurance of the local
collegians finally enabled them to
draw away nom their opponents.
Bethany secured the first point
when Petersen scored on a free throw
The score was quickly tied, when Stem
made a successful foul BASKET For
long time the two teams fought des-
perately, neither side being able to
score. Finally, however, Augustana
struck its gait and the ball began to
drop into the ring with increasing
regularity. While the locals shot nine
goals and secured three additional foul
baskets, the Kansans were unable to
secure more than two field goals. The
half ended with the score % to in
Augustana's favor.
There was no letup to Augustana's
rushing game in the second half, Sten
and Swedberg alternating in sending
the ball through the ring. Bethany
showed better form in this half, and
gave a pretty exhibition of fast pass
ing Augustana men were strong in
interference, however, and quickly
broke up their plays. In this half
the blue and gold bagged 81 points,
while their Kansas foe secured 10.
Stem was easily the star Of the game,
securing 10 field baskets and seven
foul throws, scoring 81 of Augustana's
43 points. w. Swedberg also played
a strong game at forward. netting 10
points for Augustana. Anderson made
the most brilliant play Of the even
ing in the first half, when he shot a
ring-rattler almost the entire length
of the floor. The play aroused the
crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
The second game of the series will
be played tonight, and the final con-
test tomorrow night. A record crowd
witnessed the game last night, and an
even larger attendance is expected
tonight. The lineup:
Augustana-W. Swedberg and Stem,
forward; A. Swedberg, center; An
dreen and Anderson, guards.
Bethany-Petersen and Runbeck,
forwards; Carlson, center; Arelius

ing the tar-macadam, and the city en-
gineer produced a report of Arthur S .
Lewis, secretary and commissioner Of
the Lincoln park commission of Chi
cago, which in part says: THE great
objection TO the tar-macadam roads in
Lincoln park is that in the summer
they soften and bleed TO an extent
that amounts To a nuisance and a posi-
tive expense. During the summer,
when, in one period OF eight days, the
thermometer never went blow the
actual melting point OF tar, we were
forced 70 keep a large gang OF men
at work with shovels and buckets gath
ering the tar from the cutters, where
it ran In great quantities. The park
commissioners have therefore aban.
doned entirely the use Of tars on future
road building"
The advocates OF the tar-macadam
replied 10 this with the charge that
the Lincoln park jobs were not rightly
done and that the experience there
