Officers of the Preparatory Bas-
kctball League will take the matter
of the Army and Navy Academy for
felt Of last Saturday under advise
ment today and, from indications,
the schoolboys will probably get their
notice Of being thrown out OF the
league, unless their case is strongly
to President Charles Il.
Cox.
Earlier in the season the Fair
mont team forfeited to A. N. A., and
when the matter was rehashed the
of the Fairmonts
said they were ready to play in the
morning instead of the afternoon, as
many of the players worked Satur-
day nights. President Cox declared
that another forfeit would mean a
dismissal from the circuit and, as
the A. N. A. team was unable to
put a team on the floor Saturday,
there is every indication that the A.
N. A. youngsters will draw either
their walking papers or severe re-
primand.
Fairmont players were on hand at
Gonzaga the greater part Of the day
waiting for the Army and Navy Acad-
emy players to show UP. 1t was said
that no word was heard from the
future soldiers and that the Fairmon,
players were allowed to cool their heels
several hours. The case was reported
to President Cox TOR action.
A. n. a. players declare they are
| without practice at present, owing tt
the fact that the midyear examination
are requiring all their attention. Doxon

of the team, are hard at 1t at present
