BOTH TEAMS FEEL
SURE OF VICTORY
st. Benedicts' Record Score
and Central's Recent De-
feat Mean Much.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Local scholastic circles are all agog
over the basketball game between St
Benedict's College and Central High
School, which is to be played tomor-
row afternoon at Casino Court. With
the city championship as the stake of
the series, a keen battle is sure to
ensue.
st. Benedict's is fresh from a record
score defeat of Upsala College,
which was but an incident of very
successful season, as the Catholic
School has yet to lose its first game
Central was undefeated until last
Wednesday, when Rutherford High
School beat the Centralites on their
home court.
The defeat so near the champion
ship game has done much to lessen
the feeling of overconfidence on the
part of the Centralites and they will
probably benefit from 1t.
Central is represented by one of the
fastest teams ever turned out In
local school, and 1t would not be sur
prising to have 1t break up the long
succession of victories that the Bene-
diets have enjoyed on the Casino
court. st. Benedict teams have
beaten every opponent on Casino
court for the past seven years.

ENGLISH KHAKI SUPPLY
 HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Owing to the wear and tear of campaigning, the war department has had to send a complete new outfit to the force at the front. This and the clothing of the territorial force has consumed the available khaki. Uniforms of blue navy serge are now being turned out at the rate of 12,000 a day, and the supply of the historic jackets is also drawn on in the clothing of re- cruits of the new army. A shortage of army overcoats has forced the war office to buy up civilian coats of various shapes and colors.
 The volunteers are larger men physically than the recruits of nor nal times, as the stock army sizes in clothing are found too small as a, rule.

 In Mexico Several Years Ago

ELPASO, Oct. 2S.-Mugia, the man who attempted to assassinate Gener- al Villa and who was later executed, %as the same man who murdered a German consular agent several years ago in Mexico City. The attempt on Villa was made at Guadalupe where Villa with large body of troops had been waiting to hear the result of the convention at Aguas Calientes. The attempted assassination will probably nave a very important result on the outcome of the discussions and that it will be the chief factor in eliminat- ing Carranza for all time is certain. When Mugia confessed that he was commissioned to kill Villa by Car ranzas right hand man it was taken for granted that Carranza himself was not ignorant of the fact although no direct evidence has been forthcom- ing to that effect.

Opinions From Other Divisions Seems To Be That Ladies Have
 The Privilege

That women can vote for delegate seems to be the opinion of the majori- ty of the people of the other divisions of the territory. A letter from Valdez contains an expression of the opinion that the agitation against women vot- ing is due to the Wickershamites who are said to believe that the voting of the ladies would be unfavorable to their candidate. So far as Seward IS concerned however no party had any thing to do with the discussion which was initiated. here thru the columns of this paper It is worthy of men, ton that anti-WickerShamite ex- pressed themselves just as confidently that the more women vote the more votes will Wick get. It is the story of the European war dispatches all over again.

On this question the coming of immediate peace now hinges.
