The most important scholastic basket
ball contest of the year is to be played
this afternoon, Business and western
being scheduled to appear in the \ NJ.
c. \. gymnasium. The conflict may
determine the championship of the
Scholastic League and carry with IT
the title for the District.
Business and Western have proved
stronger than the other scholastic
quints, just as was predicted at the be-
ginning of the year. Western Is lead
ing the Stencgraphers by margin OF
one game, and the latter must be the
victor this afternoon in order to get a
tie. If Western wins it will have the
championship without dispute. In the
event of a tie an extra contest must be
played to decide the issue.
1t is not likely that Business can de-
feat Western in two consecutive con-
tests, which will be necessary if it is
to win the championship. Western has
been showing consistently better form
than the Stenographers, and 1T Will
really be something of a surprise If
the former is not the victor in this aft

That foot ball now is not what IT
used to be is shown by a letter which
appeared in recent issue of the
Princeton Alumni Weekly. The game
has been moderated considerably, to
judge by the communication, and that
it was really rough in the early days
is made clearly evident. While the
statement that Princeton never has
sent out better teams than those of 'S3.
'S4 and 'S5 may be seriously question
ed. there is proof enough that the
games as they were played then were
not for children or Weaklings, as it
