first half, when by fast floor work and
accurate shooting from scrimmage the
cadets piled up IS points to the visitors 13.
Roberts failed many times to locate the
basket from the foul line. but otherwise
played star game. The visitors covered
beautifully during the second half and the
Army was able to score only three more

Rebels Reported Captured.

Villas command was routed at Bus
tillos, according to federal report in
Juarez, and 500 of his men killed, but
somebody cut the Mexican Central tel
egraph line Sunday night. 1t is pre-
sumed that Villa did it. A train was to
have left Monday for the south, but it
did not go out, because the wires were
cut.
Sunday morning Gen. Ynez Salazar
was sent south over the Mexico North
Western road with 800 of his men. pre-
Sumably to attack PanchO Villa, if the
latter could be found. However the
opinion is expressed that this was
merely a ruse to get Salazar's men out
of town while the independence day
celebrations are in progress in JuareZ,
1t being feared that they might get
lguor and cause trouble.
The strange appearance of Juarez
Monday was that no soldiers, save Off
