LUCKY GOAL BEATS
THE N. Y. u. five
Columbia Team Rallies
Just in Time to Win
Basketball Game.

A lucky goal in the final minute of
play gave Columbia a victory over the
New York University basketball team
last night BY the score of 20 to q. For
forty minutes the two teams fought
through as thrilling a game as has ever
been seen in the Morningside Heights
gymnasium. Never more than four
points separated the two, and at half
time the score was tied at Is points
apiece.
Columbia expected to win an easy
victory, but the slashing attack of the
n. Y. L. forwards and the alright
playing of the guards held Columbia
almost helpless, and not once did the
Blue and White five get its stride. Lee.
who played an indifferent game at
guard for Columbia last season, shone
as a forward and Gagged five baskets,
thereby contributing vitality TO Column
bias victory.
Although Captain Benson scored
three baskets. he more than found his
match in Farer, the shifty left forward
of the \. Y. L. five. Farer played rings
around Benson in the first half and
scored three baskets. and he duplicated
the feat in the second period, getting
in all half dozen goals. Benson
found the going too fast and was
forced into fouls, so that he was dis
qualified early in the second half for
having four personal fouls charged
against him. Captain Levey had gone
the same path at the end Of the first
half, and Bloch, who succeeded him in
the n. Y. u. lineup, found himself out
of the game for the same reason be-
fore the second period closed
Columbia got off to a good start by
caging couple of shots from the foul
line. but y. Y. L. discounted this
handicap almost right away, and from
then on the battle was nip and tuck.
n. Y. L. tied the score at all and
went ahead to get lead of II to 10.
A rally by Benson and Lee, however,
brought the Columbia total up to 10,
the same as y. Y. US at the end Of the
half.
The absence of Levey worked
against y. Y. L. in the second period,
and Columbia, by getting three baskets
in a row while y. Y. L. was caging
one, had lead of % to 10 when the
visitors came back hard and tied up
the count again. Point by point the
two teams forged along, the tally being
even again at 81. Then it was that
Lees shot scored for Columbia.

Claimed Management Lent Assistance to Huerta's Forces During Pre-

TAMPICO, April s.-The rebel army is approaching this city and are lay ing waste the country through which they are passing. The great oil refin- cry of the Waters-Pierce company, valued at more than $5O0.OOO, was destroyed by the buildings being fired and the wells dynamited.
 The rebel general claims that the oil company rendered assistance to the federal army during the engage ment which took place here last fall when the rebels were repulsed with heavy loss. The federal troops have evacuated the city and have gone south to join Huerta's forces near Mexico City.
 Admiral Fletcher, commanding the United States cruisers here, has sent a warning to the rebel general that the rights of foreigners in the city must be respected. The rebels will meet with a welcome upon their ar rival in the city as the federal troops have been intensely unpopular and their withdrawal is taken as sign of cowardice.

solution Of the baseball tangle.
1t is proposed that the Wards of
Brooklyn take over Ebbets' interests
and that Charles Weeghman and his
financial allies buy the Taft interests;
that-men now in the Federal League
replace the discordant elements in
the National; that the Federal League
ceases to exist and that the National
continues with the strongest of the
Fed LeagUers taken into the fold.
The powers of baseball have been
holding meetings in Cincinnati and in
Chicago striving to solve their big
problem, the Federal League.
The situation is this: The Federal
League has cost it's hackers approx
mately $350,0OO over receipts this
season. The National League has
had an expensive year and the Amer
lean League will be lucky to break
even. Perhaps five of the twenty-four
big league clubs have made money.
There are thiTty-seVen minor
leagues. Five leagues went smash
during the season, others cUrtailed
their season and several others
changed their circuits to finish.
Every minor elague in America lost
money, and perhaps not twenty clubs
are ahead.
The sale of players is far below the
usual figures, and the big leagues are
curtailing expenses and cutting of
the minors from a chance to get even
by selling new men.
The National and American
Leagues think they can break the
Feds in one more season. The Feds
declare they are stronger than ever
and that they have made money
figuring, the increase in value of
plants and the development of play
ers. Privately they would welcome
peace.
The National and American want !
to smash the Feds. The minors de-
clare they cannot stand another year
