BASKETBALL TITLE
CLTNCHED BY YALE
Defeat of Princeton Last Night,
90 to II, Virtually Settles
Question.

LAST NIGHTS SCORE.
Yale. 20; Princeton, IT,
SCHEDULE FOR FRI
Columbia at Princeton.
Dartmouth at Yale,


Columbia at Princeton.
Dartmouth at Yale.
Yale went into undisputed possession
of first place in the intercollegiate Bas-
ketball League at New Haven last night
by defeating Princeton in a hard-fought
and exciting game, % to n.
Neither team played n good game OF
basketball, and many random shots were
tried. Captain StaCkpole, OF Yale, was
out of the game because of recent ILL.,
ness, but Weiner, who took his place
made a creditable showing.
Princeton was I'm the lead only once
early in the first half when Yale was
trailing by to score The first
period ended 10 to o In favor of Yale
Princeton forced the playing at the be-
ginning of the second half, and before
the period was half over had tied the
score at l5-all Arnold broke the tie
with a goal from a foul. and soon after
Weiner made the winning score for Yale
by a sensational shot from the side OF
the floor Arnold put the game on ice
with another field goal.
The victory virtually gives the cham
pionship Of the intercollegiate League to
Yale. The Ellis have one game remaining
with Dartmouth at New HaVen-which
they should easily win, while Princeton
has stll to meet the strong Columbia
five.

lately announced In the program of

a way that created considerable ex-
element in the Mormon capital I'm
der the heading of Coming Attrac-
tons the Mormons read:
"Maude Adams Dancing Around
With Al Jolson."
As Salt Lake City is Miss Adams
homo, this astonishing announcement
of her terpsichorean adventure with
the mirthful Jolson was the occasion
of urgent inquiry. In a famous will
case In New York, a comma was left
out. with the result that the will was
not probated by the court. and 1t was
held that the deceased died interstate.
