NOTES..

Ralph Whitney, of Princeton and
Gillens of ST. Cloud were referee and
umpire, respectively, and their deci-
sions were fair and satisfactory.
This being the opening game of the
season, it was not expected that the
team work would be of the best. Co.
G was trife lame in the passing, but
a smooth working machine will I'M
doubtedly be developed.
No game has been scheduled for this
week, but Manager Hofflander is cor
responding with some particularly
powerful aggregations.
Smith starred on the offensive for
Princeton negotiating three goals dur
ing the last half, while Captain Nor
ton and Doane tossed two each, and
Wilkes one. Morton also negotiated
two fouls. =.

ST. CLOUD WINS OPENER.
Co. G Basket Ball Team Loses Close
Contest After Desperate Finish.

contest After Desperate Finish.
The 1915-16 basket ball season open
ed in Princeton last Thursday after
noon, when the Co. G quint opposed the
speedy st. Cloud aggregation. The fl
nal count was "a to 81 in favor of the
visitors, and the game was featured
by the desperate finish of the militia
boys.
For some reason not known the Co.
G scoring machine was not on hand
during the first half, and the defensive
formations of the locals had evidently
been mislaid also. The result was
that during this round they never had
a look-in. A goal by Doane, and
foul by Captain Morton represented
the result of the scoring efforts Of the
militia boys, while the Granite City
athletes tossed the wind-infated
sphere through the net with regu-
larity that was far from pleasing to
Princeton enthusiasts. Verify, it was
a wierd exhibition, and when time was
called the locals had the short end of
a count Of 16 to 3.
Something must have happened dur
ing the intermission, as the represent
tatives of Co. G certainly pulled them
selves together. Perhaps Manager
Hofflander read the riot act to his fall
tering stars, or it is possible that last
years we'll oiled scoring machine was
brought into action. At any rate the
locals entered the last half with "pep"
and determination to burn, and pro-
ceeded to play rings around their op-
ronents. Baskets were thrown from
all kinds Of angles, and at one time
Princeton forged into the lead. The
rapid pace, could not be maintained,
however, and St. Cloud managed to
squeeze out victory during the last
few minutes of play. It was spec
tacular comeback on the part of
Princeton, and the large crowd in at
tendance was kept on edge every min
ute Of the last half.

The Georgetown and Catholic Univer-

will appear at Charlottesville in con-
test with the University of Virginia.
A victory is not to be looked for by

One can hardly expect either Catholic

versity will have an even chance in
the contest with Virginia when the
latter appears on the Carroll Institute
floor, but it can hardly hope to be the
victor in contest at Charlottesville.
The team that defeats Virginia on that
floor must be much stronger, as the
conditions will give the Orange and

Georgetown is pretty certain to meet
defeat at the hands of the Navy. The

Ridicule Clabby's Claims.

The claim upon the world championship
put forward by Jimmy Clabby and ap-
parently accepted in America has been
received with ridicule in Australia.
Clabby was twice defeated in Australia
this year. Dave Smith, who can no
longer be regarded as even a remote
claimant for the world title. outpointed
him in twenty-round contest in BIis-
bane. That defeat did not matter much.
but the defeat by Smith should surely
deprive Clabby of all claim on the world
title. If there is a world middleweight
cha mpion in the ring st present. it un-
doubtedly is Australian Mick King. and
his claim to the title. which is generally
recognized among all sporting writer's
in these parts. is based on his clear-cut
defeat over jeff Smith couple of weeks
ago at Sydney.
Previous to this JEFF Smith had beaten
