NEW GAME CROSS
BETWEEN BOWLING
AND BILLIARDS
Ten Miniature Pins, Pool
Ball and Cue Are
Used
AN INTERESTING PASTIME

A brand new game has been invented
which has made n great hit with those
who follow bowling and pocket billiards.
1t Is played on n billiard or pool table,
but the principle of the game is CEN
tired on bowling. The idea is new. and
until one has tried II he cannot imagine
how much enjoyment there Is in the play
ing. The game probably will be known
as bowling-pool.
Ten miniature tenpins, standing about
four inches I'm height and an inch and
a half in diameter at the body of the pin,
are placed in bowling position on the
spot where the balls are racked for pocket
billiards. a regular poolball takes the
place of n bowling ball and a cue is used
to shoot.
Instead of shooting from the upper end
of the table, as is the case in billiards
or pool. the player shoots from behind
a line drawn across the table from the
point where the head pin stands.
He must shoot up the table and bank
his cue ball The rest of the game is on
the principle OF bowling. The object Is to
try TO hit between the one and two or
one and three pins. II this is done a
strike is just as likely to result as on
a bowling alley. IL all the pins are not
knocked down on the first try. the second
shot is made for the spare. The score is
counted just like that of a bowling game.
This game IL not only intensely inter-
esting, but Is great aid to billiard or
pool player, particularly the former. as it
teaches him control of the cue ball and
the angles OF the table. The one cushion
game is not so much in favor as the two
and three, which means that the ball
must strike the number of cushions desig-
mated before IT strikes the pins.

TWO VETERANS
WITH OLD PENN
CAGE QUINTET
Good Material Will Try for
Quaker Varsity Basket
ball Berths
THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT

In spite OF having lost three veterans
from last years team, the University of
Pennsylvania expects to have a basket
ball team Of intercollegiate. proportions
this year. This is due to the splendid
material from the 1911 freshman team
and the Improvement in the substitute
material from last year. The first game
of the schedule will be played on Satur-
day night, December II. against Urslnus,
though the first intercollegiate champion
ship match will be played with Princeton
at Princeton December H.
Captain Eddie McNichol and William
son are the two veterans left from last
year, though Gordon Hardwlck. who sub
stituted much of the time, is still here.
The three men lost are eX-Captain Seel-
bach, centre; Wallace. n guard. and
Evans. forward. McNichol and William
son have reported in first-class condition,
and both will try out for the forward po-
stions.
Last years freshman team was every
bit as good as the varsity, and at least
two of its members. Arthur .efford and
Lou Martin. are counted on to win posi-
tions Welsh and Grant, who played on
the freshman team last year, are still
ineliSIble for athletics at Pennsylvania.
Jefford is being tried out at centre, where
his height and speed should make him
star.
One of the fortunate things about the
star members of this years squad Is that
the men are uniformly tall and strong,
just the type needed to excel at the pass
ing game. Coach Jourdet says he intends
to develop the short passing game this
year
Jourdet Is trying TO persuade several
members of the football team to try for
basketball. Eble, who stands 6 feet 2
inches and weighs 1S5 pounds, n substitute
centre and halfback. has promised to play
and so has Loucks, substitute quarter
and fullback.
