A number OF things last week combined
to give the waning basket ball season a
setback. In the first place games sched-
uled at the Nebraska school for the Deaf
had to be postponed because the gym
nasium at that place was being used as
g dormitory since fire had destroyed the
regular sleeping quarters OF the STUDENTS.
These contests between the Creighton
Laws and tho Council Bluff Cubs and the
Nebraska School for the Deaf against
Swift were postponed until next week.
Then again the playing Of the w'es-
Townsend game last night cut out
a regular scheduled match between the
Council Bluff Cubs and the Squads. As
result of the Townsend Wesleyan game
the Clarks also postponed their contest
with Bellevue college last evening so
that they could witness the event

Church organisation seem TO be sticking

the season has II been necessary for any
OF these quintets 70 postpone n game and
despite the low record OF some OF the
for their regular scheduled games. Even
with the championship cinehed by the
First Christians the Church league still
continues to be the banner drawing card.
In the Commercial league the Clearing
House team has given up and withdrawn.
The Clearing House quintet took the
place OF tho First National bank five
early In the season. but the odds In
trying TO catch up with tho other teams
proved 20 great that they thought II best
to discontinue. However, the league viii

another local team has been substituted
to fin in for the remainder OF the season.
A somewhat similar position holds true
in the Tri-City league. The swifts have
practically disbanded for the season, but
