w With the nearing of the end OF the
local basket ball season, a number OF the
league quintets have become lax in theiT
appearance for scheduled games. Last
week the Swifts failed to show up for
two contests and as result lost both by
the forfeit route.
/
OF the players that belonged to the diff
ferent aggregations failed to appear and
resulted in teams being filled with mer
who did not belong to the organization
The switching around OF players In this
manner resulted disastrously for the
Clarks last Tuesday, when only three Of
their regulars showed up The Clark'
were completely vanquished by the

CONSIDERED BILE interest marked the week.
play in the Church league. What brough
forth the greatest surprise was the clos'
manner in which the South Omaha Bap
lists held the First Christians at the loca
"Y." The Baptists not only held tho
leaders of the Church league during thu
contest, but forced the game to an extrs
three minutes to play off a tie. How
ever, the increased strength manifested
by the Baptists will count for little NOR
than naught as the season Is too far ad
vanced for them to jump into the frs
division.
Another surprise in the Church League
Is the steady climb Of the Kountze Me
MORALS. Three straight victories hav'
put them in third place.
Hard Luck for swifts.
II is doubtful whether the Swift anC
Company five of the Tri-City league will
piay the remaining scheduled contests
Hard luck has so devastated the five tina
a number OF the star players have giyei
up the game for the season. Aerhart
guard, was recently operated on because
OF bad arm; shainholtz, forward wa
forced to retire because of a weak heart
while Philips has been out for some tim
because of sickness.
There still remains n large number o
postponed games to be played off. Som
OF the quintets are so far behind tina
they have taken part in only half OF tn
regular games. However. the playing OF
OF these games viii make but little dit
ference, as the present leaders of eacl
group have amply demonstrated that the.
are supreme. This Is one OF the reason
for the delay of the finishing OF thes
contests.
Nothing more has been done by Man
ager Drummond TO bring the Toledo, o,
team here Thursday. so that the only BIZ
game between now and the close OF tn
season comes on March s, when Wesleyan
university drops off here TO meet tn
Townsends. Though some time away
preparations are already under way 70
the big clash, a monster turnout beinI
expected.
