Last week proved anything but eventful
for the local basket ball teams. Few
changes took place in the standings OF
the fives, while the contests played were
only Of a mediocre kind. However. the
coming week promises TO abound with
interest, as many OF the strongest
quintets are matched one against another
The week also promises 70 be busy AZ
practically every team Of three circuits
is scheduled to play at least once. ONLY
three moro weeks OF the local schedule
remain, 90 that aside from the regular
schedule contests, many postponed games
win be played.
! What - holding the center Of interest
: at the present time is the game between
: the Townsends and Wesleyan university
Saturday evening. This event Is looked
forward TO as the biggest game Of thl
season. The Townsends have not beer
; defeated in the Tri-city league this sea
son. having won nine straight games
Though the season is not at an end. theS
are virtually the champions OF the Tri
City loup.
The Methodists who come here Satur
day have equally as good a reputation
They have been defeated but once thi
year and then by the University OF Ne
braska. The Methodists at present ar,
! the holders OF the Nebraska Intercol
! legiate Athletic championship having ais
/ held this title for the last three seasons.
} AZ SLIGHT DisadvantaEe.
The Methodists win be placed at Z
slight disadvantage when they engage TN
rownsends as the match win BE- playes
under the Amateur Athletic union rule
instead OF those governing colleges. Thu
college rules allow the players mor'
. liberties thus usually making the combat
, great dead faster than under the anna
: teur rules.
Last season Wesleyan took the Town
4 sends. then under the oognomen Of thu
Pirates, into camp and the omshs
quintet h resolved TO be the victors u
. the coming fray. That the coming fral
|. viii be the best basket ball game OF IN,
season il confidently looked forward h
, BY the fans. The Omaha National Bank
: and the Creighton Laws viii stags IN,
. preliminary game at 3 o'clock.
? Plans are being arranged 70 play
. series OF games at the end OF the seasoI
