Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 22.-The Uni versity of Pittsburg basketball team defeated the Yale team, champions of the Eastern Collegiate association in a fast game in the Trees gymnasium here last night, 31 to 29.

 The individual work of McMasters was also worthy. Olson starred for Yale, shooting five goals. The lineup: Pittsburg Yale Lubic, (Capt.) ............. Weiner

MANY MExlCANS DIE IN FIGHT
Carranza Men Storm and Take Capital
of Puebia-VilIa Suffers
Heavy Losses.

Vera Cruz, Jan. 6.-The capture OF
Puehla, capital of the state of that
name, by Alvaro Obregon, the Car
rama general, has been confirmed. De-
tails of the assault and capture of the
city held by Villa troops make the bat
tie appear as the most severe OF any
recent fighting in Mexico.
The fall of Puebla came after six
hours of furious bombardment. Gen
erai Ohregon worked into position
about the city at night with virtually
all his forces, which are reported to
have aggregated not less than thirty
thousand men,
After pounding with 80 cannon the
positions OF the troops of Generals
Villa and Zapata, whose strength is
estimated to have been 1900 men, the
troops of General Ohregon advanced
under the fire of their opponents artil-
Iery.
How many of the Villa and Zapata
troops escaped has not been learned,
but early reports Of the fighting indi-
cate that the greater part of them
either were killed or made prisoners.
From these reports it would seem that
in few OF the battles that have oc-
Cured in Mexico has the slaughter
been so swift and so great.

BRITAIN TO SEARCH SHIPS
Fears smuggIers Might Get to Vessels
After Selling With United
States Certificate.

London, Jan. 6.-Although the for
eign Office regards with high favor
the American governments plan of
certifying cargoes loaded under the
direction of officials of the treasury
department and destined for Euro
pean ports, it was said that England
cannot accept such certification as an
absolute guaranty of the nature of
the cargo in case any cause for sus-
picion arises after a vessel leaves
America.
In other words. the right of search
cannot be waived. because OF the pos
sibility of shifting cargoes at sea and
Of the imposslbiiity of having the

cate accompany the ship to its destin-
alton to guard against smugglers who
