HOW|TzERS WIN
FROM LYNCHBURG
BY SCORE 37-34
CLEVER PASSING AND FAST
WORK PROVE TOO MUCH FOR
Y. NJ. G. A. QUINT-SONE STEL-
LAR PLAYING AND MUCH ROOT
ING.

The Richmond Howitzers last night
sprung a surprise to followers of bas-
ketball here VIII they downed the
fast auint from the Lynchburg Young
Mems Christian association by the
score of 81 to "a There were a few
in the rather large gallery of spec
tatcrs who even dared hope that the
Soldiers would be successful against
the association men, whose reputation
for two seasons OF consecutive victo-
res had preceded them by several
DAYS
But when the contest started and
the local boys began their lightning
like movements. when they began 10
shoot the ball accurately from one 10
another down the field, and when they
time after time basketed the ball In
spite of the clever guarding by their
opponents. then hope rose. But
throughout the game the result was
never in view, for the visitors proved
well worthy OF the reputation which
they have made in former contests.
Their goal shooting was much bet
ter than was that Of the Soldiers. for
they were defeated by but three points
and they were not given near so many
opportunities for tries at the baskets
In teamwork they showed flashes Of
form at times and often did quick and
clever bits of passing. which for a time
had the local quint mystifed. But
this kind of work did not continue for
long and the Soldiers came back each
time with their excellent work and
generally a basket.
Lawrence and Felvey were easily
the stars Of the local team and many
times during the fracas brought to
light as good work as has been seen
No fbfG SnG Matraif Aid
some noticeable playing, particularly
under the goal after teammates had
failed TO basket the bali andsshot the
goal with quick onward twists. For
the Lynchburg five Jameson and
Campbell were the stars.
The game attracted quite number
of enthusiasts in spite of the opposi-
ton which the track meet at the horse
show building gave the managers If
the teams and during the game the
roofing was prolonged and loud, The
Howitzers had much the larger num-

COLLEGE PLAYERS
PLAN TO GET INTO
GAME THIS SEASON

NEW YORK, Feb. 2t.-Bernard L.
Rhoads, captain of the Princeton base
ball team. started something when he
announced that he saw no harm m =
college man playing professional ball
during the summer, as means OF se-
curing funds TO pay college expenses.
Rhoads started several hundred coll
lege bali players thinking the same
way, and many of them have decided
that Ii they get a chance to play pro-
fessional ball this summer they will do
so. Also he got James +, Sullivan
started-which is something else again.
sullivan is secretary of the Amateur
Athletic union, a man who hates pro-
fessionals with fervent hatred, and
who gets seasick feeling when even
one mediocre athlete leaves the amateurs
ranks and becomes a "profHsh.'
The thought of score and mara
perfectly respectable amateurs spending
their summer in such a shameful way
as playing baseball for money has au-
gered sullivan to the extreme.
Those college fellows who want to-
play professional baseball this summer
can do SO if they want said sullivan
today, but If they nurse the idea
that they ever again will be allowed -
rank as amateurs in college athleticukS
they are sadly mistaken,
For thirty-one years I have been
uEntinE 10 Keep amateurs anu Q1Q4$
fessionals apart. l have succeeded f0ss

not permit all the work of those yeArn
