The Belleville High School eleven's
followers bitterly resent the accusa-
ton that their team crawled out OF
a contest with the Liberty Juniors
on Thanksgiving Day. The follow
ing letter In explanation of the cpl
sode speaks for itself.
]. p. NJ:
| In reply to the statement made by
the Liberty Juniors concerning the
game supposed to have taken place
with the Belleville High School elev-
en- on Thanksgiving Day, l must
state that Belleville High School
management never fostered the idea
of such a game taking place. Prob
ably the Liberty Juniors have come
into discussion with the high school
supporters, but that is as far as 1t
went. AS for such a game taking
place, it Is simply an imposstbillty
as the superintendent OF the Belle
vile high school strongly lays the
ban against the high school athletic
teams playing other than high scnool
teams, and the Liberty juniors are
we'll aware of the ban. l believe the
Liberty Juniors are showing very
poor craftsmanship in saying that
the high school "crawled." / would
very much like to see the game take
place, but as 1 said before the high
school teams are restricted and such
a game is an impossibility.
A PLAYER.

A bicycle lap race run at the i4In
Regiment games last Saturday night
resulted in victory for A. Krushel,
with Kriegbaum second, Arena third
and Tanner fourth. The race was de-
cided on points. Arena, however,
crossed the tape first in the last lap,
creating a new armory record for
the two miles, reducing the figures
from 4:30 2-5 to 4:26 1-5. l claim that
Arena is the legitimate holder of the
record as he covered the distance In
the least time, or by a wheels length,
to be exact The majority, however,
seem to thing that Krushel Is en-
titled to same, because he won the
race on points. Your verdict how
ever, will eliminate any doubt that
may exist, as we possess very Few
''- r. ]. HOOVER.
IF Arena made the record, Arena
is the man to credit with the mark
The fact that Krushel was the ul-
innate winner would not deprive
Arena of his mark.
