Please answer the following ques-
ton. Is it legal for the referee of a
basket ball game to put out a player
and force the team to finish the game
with four men? w. w
The rules call for five men on a side.
If the team did not have a substitute,
it should have had the game forfeited.
If it had a substitute, he should have
been put in the game.

when he succeeded in winning sixteen
out of eighteen games played against
a particularly strong field of local anna

witness the contests, interest centering

that on sixteen boards he handled the
black pieces. The score of the game
with Knapp will be found below.

 The decision in the West 6 liquor cases, now before the court for oral argument, is expected to be the most important of it's kind in a de cade. The cases were to have been argued this week, but the presence of only seven justices at the courts sit tings resulted in a postponement.
 Tt seems strange at this late day, the attorneys general said in their brief, ''to hear claim made that the state and national governments guar antee to citizen the right to possess and receive liquor for personal use and to drink the same in unlimited quantities."
