bury high winning in game which re-
sembled an indoor football contest with
more rough work than skill exhibited
by each team. Fouls were called on each
side frequently but neither Hatch nor
III. Carlson was able 10 take advantage
OF the penalties TO any great extent.
The visiting quintet displayed good
team work al various intervals, but too
many trys Tor baskets half the distance
of the long hall prevented the east siders
from running up much of score and
the locals were unable to cage many
baskets although they had numerous OPP
portunities during the forty minutes OF
play
Several times the seminary team
showed flashes OF real work which re-
suited in scoring, but aside from Kelley,
who played consistent game at guard,
the local players failed to show much
form.
Newbury's lanky center invariably got
the Jump on Hatch and as a result the
visitors had more chances 10 score but
Kelley's fine guard work spoiled many
shots.
The visitors started the scoring and
obtained a lead of half dozen points
early in the game, the first period end
ing with the score IL IL in Newbury' 5
favor. The second period was seven
minutes advanced before either side was
able to score, Hatch finally breaking the
ice with basket. Gradually the semi
nary closed in until they we're but two
points behind, but they were unable to
overcome the scanty lead in the last few
minutes.
The seminary has practically veteran
team with much improved player in
Kelley. but if they expect TO be contend
ers in the state league, considerable i'm
provement must be made.

yesterday that he was willing to increase
the pay of the laborers in and around

London. Nov. 2i.-Orsova and Turnu-
Severin the two principal cities adjacent
TO the iron gate of the Danube just in
side the Rumanan frontier today fell
to Gen. Won FaIkenhayn. and with their
capture the doom of an entire-Russo-
Rumanian army was sealed. As yet
there is no news of what happened TO
1t. but it is believed that 1t abandoned
the two cities in face of the overwhelming g
Teuton manpower and artillery and fed
into the hills to the northwest.
By an ironic trick of fate. Russians and
Rumanians who some few months ago set
out to overrun the Hungarian plain. are
now driven in that direction by Falken-
hayn whose strategic masterstrokes
turned the tables on Rumania and out
fianked the would-be invaders.
The two other events forecast yester-
day were reported as actual happenings
in today's official war bulletins One is
Falkcnl!ayn's advance from CraiOva to
Rumania's western railway barrier" the
Rothenthurm Pass-COrabia road. The
second is the crossing of the Danube by
the forces OF Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen, ushering in the final chapter of
the Rumanian campaign. the joint drive
on Bucharest
The Rumanian war office admits the
withdrawal of King Ferdinand's troops
from the left bank OF the Oltetz River
in the Oltenie Valley. This means that

OF Slatina and is about to seize control
of the entire railway running from the
Transylvanan Alps down to the Danube
The fall of Piatra. where this road con-
verges with the Craiova-Campulung Rail-
