TWO BIG UNIVERSITIES DECIDE
ON COACHES FOR NEXT SEASON
Yale Committee Selects DR.. Williams Of
Minnesota and Pennsylvania Gets Bob
Folwell-Business Beats Eastern.

Washington and Jefferson teams which
have played through consistently hard
schedules, yet have won great per-
centage of the games.
Whether or not these men Will attain
the desired goal is impossible to lore
tell, but each has an advantage over
the men who were in charge last fall
at the two institutions. Both have
the confidence of recent successes ia
guide them and with which to instill
their players; and there seems to be nc
doubt about their ability to teach and
to lead, the main requirements, after
all. of a foot ball coach.
Business High, just as was expected,
won a decisive victory over the Eastern
High School in the reopening of the In
terscholastic Basket Ball League yes
terday at the Arcade. Business played
much better than its opponent, except
In passing the ball, and it's shooting
for goals was a great deal more accu-
rate. The play of the Business five
was also much improved over that of
the first contest, when it lost to Wes-
tern decisively.
Just how much the loss of Culligan
will mean to Business prospects in the
league. as far as the title is con-
cerned. is shown by the consistent
manner in which he shot goals yester-
day. Culligan. Gagged the ball ten
times from the floor and eight times
from the foul line. In other words, he
scored more than half the points, by
far, made by his team.

ment has added two games to its
schedule for this month. One of the
contests is to take place at Kendall

clear for effecting a compromise OF the
warning factions, and that since then
the Federal League has been eliminated
and peace terms have been agreed upon
and virtually carried to satisfactory
finish, great speed has been shown
which would have been equaled IN rev
other lines of business where as much
