 However, a good cover crop will pay we'll as pasturage grass and serve two purposes. 1 have been urging the farmers 10 look we'll after their grass and hay crops this year. You may have done so. If you have you are fortunate, for hay goes long as feed, and feed is going to be high next year. Arkansas hay is quot ed on the market now at S1O per ton; Oklahoma prarie hay at $17; alfalfa at $19 and wheat bran and corn chops at from $29 to S33 per ton. So the hay crop has been and is an important one in Arkansas, hope the farmers of Arkansas have saved good hay crops and will have feed for their stock. It certainly is hard on a cotton raiser to have to give up part of the money made in rais- ing cotton for hay and stock food because he will be paying more than 1t would cost him to raise it. But cotton has a hold on the peo- pie and it is hard to break it loose.
 As to the cover crop, it will be needed for the stock this winter There are several good cove crops. Bur clover is one of the best. It mixes in we'll with ber- muda, and will die out in the spring about the time the latter comes out strong, thus making by this combination almost a contin- ous pasture. Crimson clover and vetch are fine. The latter makes better crop and the former makes a better winter pasture soil builder, Rye is also good as a cover crop and winter pasture. Rape makes good winter past ure for hogs, but is not a legume and does not store nitrogen like the others. Let me urge you to try some of these winter cover crops, and give the hogs, cattle and other stock the benefit. Good pastures, hay crops, forage

HOW 70 PLAY BASKETBALL
BY BILL" REYNOLDS
Feeding Il Player.

Feeding u Player.
In hearing the term feeding a man a person at nee associates the
idea with basket hanging" But | do not here use the phrase in that
sense. A team should ave at least three men equally capable, or att any
rate individually proficient enough to make u sure" basket. Any On OF
these three men through team work may be fed" but a team will in
stinctiyely feed the player who car best advance himself through dex-
terity and speed TO q position for a comparatively easy shot. This need
no always be the same man. 1t may be that the opponents have q mn
who loafs in the game, o r who Is not up to the standard his team-mates
set, in cleverness. 1t is the player this man is guarding who could then
be fed" to best advantage, and it has often been the case that this fed"
man Is a guard who is capable of shooting a basket If given the oppor-
tunty.
Bad Judgment in Passing.
Again speaking Of passing, would here caution against a short pas
being too swift, Or against a long pass being too slow II too high. The
reasons are obvious. A short, unnecessarily hard pass o a fast moving
player is liable to get lost; it may rebound, Dr. he may tumble it. A ball
lost this way while the team is advancing the ball is very demorallzing,
and more often than not means a core for a team that IA take advantage
of such mhplays. A long slow. or high PASS is too easily blocked, with
the result as just portrayed. A steady, eve speed, accurate pass is the
means possession Of the ball, and possession of the ball is nine-tenths of
the game.
Method of Passing.
There is no doubt but that an overland pass from the shoulder up is
the best. An underhand pass, a a general rule, is too easily blocked, and
is less accurate. To a player capable of handling the ball, it is easier to
make a pass with one hand than when using two. especially in the long
passes. as the hand pass Is generally switer and more accurate. 1t
is soften the case int scrimmage that a players only opportunity to pass
The ball to his Terminate is by rolling the ball. or showing the ball. along
The hoor, and II Is In such cases that headwork decides the balance.
When the ball is out of bounds beneath the opponents basket Mote:
by opponents basket is mean the goal opponents are guarding), the best
method of receiving a pass is for a team-mate to come from back in the
mate to shoot" 1t is o N this play that every team is well coached along
the defensive line of covering and o receive a pass from IL oil bounds
when TN opponents re good defensive players means fast work and ac-
curate passing.

HELD TO No
BUT OWLS BOW
Smith Proves TO
be Strongest in
the Victory.
RESULT, 1918

South Amboy's representative bas-
ketball team triumphed over another
local combination last night when
the Owls, of this burg, %journeyed to
try their fortune against the clan
who dwell on the shores in the burg
across the Raritan. 1t was by 33 to
10 odds that the Perth Amboy aggre-
cation met defeat. Manager Booz as
we'll as the rest of his team believe
that the score as we'll as the game
would have been much closer had
the management of the South Amboy
team procured Clancy, Mulchahey, or
an official of such calibre. The locals
believe that they were not given as
fair a deal as the other teams who
play on the K. of p. court from this
place.
The only consolation to the sup
porters of the Owls in the defeat of
last night was the playing of Luke
Oliver, who held the mighty basket
shooter, Freddie Garland, to no
score. Garland Gagged the pellet
eleven times from the field OF Luke's
last appearance against him, but last
night Garland could see nothing but
Oliver, the basket seemed to be q
missing factor.
Mike Smith, of this place, who sub
stituted in the absence OF Johnny
Deegan, proved the star Of the fray.
Six times he spotted the center of
the shreds while shooting from the
field and once he succeeded in maxi
ing good a free throw from the foul
line.
Booz and Regain did most OF the
scoring for the locals and both work
ed hard every minute. Schantz and
Campbell performed in fast order on
the court, but the South Amboy at
tack was too much.

MANAGER SeeI in
Letter States the
Whole Case.
OFFER TER MS

Manager John Seel, of the Dexter
football team, of this city. has de-
cided to take a definite position in
the argument between his team and
the Holy Cross eleven, of Plainfield.
The Dexters are willing and anxious
to meet the Union county eleven on
their home gridiron or OF the local
war paths. Manager Seel offers terms
which will show up" Manager Doyle
and the Union county lads or make
them accept the offer. Seel is willing
to play In Plainield for a guarantee
of S25 or will give the Holy Cross
$50 to stage the game here.
Here is Manager Seel's epistle:
Sporting Editor, NEWS:
"In anser to an article In a
Plainfeld newspaper in which Man
ager Doyle, of the Holy Cross football
team, of that place, is reported to
have said that his players are ach-
ing for a game with the Dexters, we
will take the initiative and offer
terms for the gridiron fray. We
will offer the Holy Cross team $50
to play the game here and we ask
S25 to perform in Plainfeld. If
Manager Doyle and his team ever
had any thought OF a game with the
Dexters, he will no doubt accept this
offer as there Ia no possible doubt as
to its fairness.
1--WE are Hing. anxious. and ready
to play the game as soon as the Holy
Cross see fit to have it staged. 1t Is
up to the Union county claimants OF
state championship to put up some
argument for their claims and the
best argument they can give, as far
as we are concerned, is a game. Sat-
urday or Sunday, January or Feb
ruary-we want and desire to meet
the Holy Cross.
when the season opened l wrote
to Manager Dole for a game and re-
ceived no answer. My second let
met the same fate. ! went to Plain
field once and Doyle was toe busy to
complete arrangements. We offered
to play in Plainheld for expenses but
the Holy Cross manager offered us
but $40. We then suggested all
sorts of terms to him for a game
here. But we finally decided that the
Holy Cross team did not want to
play us and 80 we gave up our at
tempts.
For this reason, we believe what
ever claims the Holy Cross team
think they have for state honors
should be given up or Jul terms ac-
copied and a game played at once.
It is a case OF being shown up as
far as the Plainfeld team Is concern
ed If Manager Doyle does not take
Immediate action to book a game
with us.

your very truly,
John Seei,
Manager of the Dexters."
