Western Leads Circuit on o.
Tense and Defense in Fifteen
Games Played.
PEINE IS OUT IN FRONT
Red and White Forward Makes
Record in Shooting Fourteen
Baskets From Floor.
By BRYAN MORSE.

With one-half the InterscholastiC
Basketball League schedule COM
pleted, players and followers are
wondering if any of the teams will
be able to- bounce Western out OF
the lead. Comparative records in the
fifteen games run off show the Red
and White athletes far in the van
as figures go, although there are
those who maintain that Army and
Navy Prep, Business, and Central
have chance to come forward in
the closing days of the campaign.
Western has been closely pressed
on but one occasion and that was
when the Army and Navy Props
played them to a 35 to 20 battle.
The Props were never in the lead
and although Western was forced to
extend itself as in no other contest
the team was admittedly not in the
best of shape. The Georgetown boys
set an unusually high standard on
both offense and defense as the fig
ures show and possess not only the
two best shooters in the league, but
guards which have held down the
opposition to small figures.
If one were TO select the best players
in the circuit on records the choice
would lie between Peine of Western
Miller of A. n. P, and Marbury OF
Central. as the forwards; Peck OF
Western. Macdonald of Business. anG
Knudsen of A. n. P. as, centers. and
Whelchel and Sergeant of Western
Glessner of Business. and Gibney anG
Glmartin of A. n. p. as guards.
Bill Culligan rounded out great
career at Business with an envia BILE
mark. but will be lost to the team in
future.

JUSTICE LAMAR IS
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Washington, Jan. 3.-Joseph Ruck-
err Lamar, associate justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States, died
at his home here after an illness of
several months. He was fifty-eight
years old and had been on the su-
preme bench five years.
Associate Justice Lamar had the
distinction of being one of the new
members of the court appointed by a
president of opposite political faith.
President Taft appointed him in 1910
with only two presidents for such &C.
ton, those of Justices Jackson and
Lurton.
The immediate cause of death was
gradual heart disease, fastened by in.
flammation Of one of the lungs which
had threatened to develop into pneu-
monia. The attending physician de-
clared, however, that the primary
cause was overwork.
About week ago the justice con-
tracted a cold. His weakened heart
was unable to bear the added burden
of this Inflammation.

Charles H. Grant of Boston was

was larger than was hoped when the

MEETS AMERICAN DEMANDS
Reply Of Austria to Second Note on
Ancona Sinking.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Austria's re-
ply to the Ancona note not only meets
the cardinal points of the American
demands, but gives assurances for the
future which are considered more sat-
isfactory in their extent than those
which were given by Germany.
The full American official view will
not be known until after President
Wilson has studied the Austrian re-
ply, which was received from Ambas-
sador Penfield and was Immediately
dispatched to Hot Springs by White
House messenger.
Austria in the Ancona case has sub
scribed to the principle that no ships
will be sunk. unless they offer resist
ance or fee, without the persons
aboard being brought to safety.
This is considered an assurance that
is farreaching and satisfactory.
