BASKET BALL PRACTICE
ALREADY UNDER WAY
Prospects Look Good For Another
Successful Season in the indoor
Sport.

Immediately after the close Of the
football season, basketball practice
was begun in the high school gymnas-
ium. Though rather early in the sea-
son to know definitely, the chances Of
having a winning team this year, seem
exceptionally good. The school still
retains two OF last years stars, Bria-
tol, the tall and husky center, and NJ
Cracken, who won a letter in every
kind of athletics last year, and playo~
fine game at guard Two subs, De-
Witt and Dean, are on the floor this
year, and bid fair to make the team.
Melvin Strong, a new fellow in school,
has shown up well and is expected to
run several others a close race. Oscar
Neuman, the fast quarterback, is out
for forward and the indications are
that he will to all probability land that
| position. Scott, the captain of the
/ football team is running Boone, Bailey
and Perrine close race. Others who
have chances to make the team are
/ Day, HOller, Patton and Sheneberger
The season last year was somewhat
short, but six games being played
Twin Falls winning three of the games
Rupert was out strongest competitor
winning two games from Twin by q
narrow margin. Buhl and Filler were
beaten so badly as to put them Ou
of the race for the season. Goodine
won a game from Twin when the boys
were playing in poor form, and has
not yet recovered from the SHOCK 1nt
team will miss Lesser, the steady
close basket shooter, and Rowberry
the long distance shooter as well as
Ostrander, the fast forward.
Rupert is probably the most dread
ed opponent this year as it was last
They retain four of last years men
and have an abundance of material e
fill the one vacancy. Buhl, Filler, Bur.
! ley, Kimberly, Shoshone, Gooding
Hepburn and possibly others are eith
er practicing at the present time OF
are contemplating organization of Z
basketball team. Though there will
be a maximum of competition, the
4 prospective players are wholly op
tomistic as to the outcome Of the sea
son. Coach Nafziger is much pleased
with the material so far as qualit,
is concerned, but more quantity is de
sired. Owing to the early season an(
the indecision of the various school:
no definite schedule has been made
In all probability there win he NJ
games before Christmas vacation.

HOSPITAL APPEAL is
TAKEN BY DIR. Il. o. BOYD.

T. o. Boyd today filed an appeal
from the action of the board of county
commissioners in letting a contract for
the erection of a county hospital to
" G. Reed. The appeal is taken on
the ground that the county has no
legal right to construct a county hos
pital for any other purpose than the
care of INDECENT poor and that the in
tention of the board is to accept pay
patients.

Dousal of that plan will affect the
course of the war. 1t will shorten it.
They do not yet see that plan ought
to be the first of the terms of peace.
Is it altogether impossible that, as the
war drags on wearily for the next
few months, the newly elected presi-
dent should be insisting more and
more on the value of the new American
policy until it becomes the plain hope
Of salvation for Europe?

MAY STAGE SET OF
TRACK TITLE GAMES
South Atlantic Association Considering
Plans to Hold Indoor Track Meet.

Baltimore, Nd. Dec 2o.-AIthough
there has been no official announce
msnt as yet, IL became known yester-
day that the South Atlantic Associa-
ton may stage a set of indoor track
and field championships during the
coming season From what could be
learned, the holding of such an event
has never been discussed at a formal
meeting Of this district of the ANA
teur Athletic Union. but Il has been
rumored frequently that the powers
that be are contemplating such q
move.
During the past few years there has
been much talk in local athletic cir
cles in regard to holding The indoor
championships. but for some reason
or another no action has been taken
by the proper authorities to put
through a meet similar to those which
are promoted in other districts How
ever, during the past week these ru-
mors have been renewed. but IL now
looks as IL the champs will be a real
ity this season.
There is no reason IN the world
why we can't promote a set of cham
pionship games in the South Atlantic
Association" said a well-known ath-
letic supporter in discussing the situ-
alton. We have the material and
necessary facilities to promote an af-
fair Of this kind. Surely. the athletes
in this section of the country COM
pare favorably with those in the other
associations OF the Amateur Athletic
Union; and. there is no reason why
the games should not be a huge sue
cess in every way"

PLAYERS who hung around the Waldorf
while the magnates of the Tener circuit
were holding their big meeting last

owners will be returned unsigned II the
magnates go through with the announced

It is understood among tie players that
the first contract received by members
OF the fraternity are to be forwarded to
Dave Fultz for examination and ap-
proval. II Fultz and members Of the

making any radical slices In salaries,
word will undoubtedly go down the line
instructing all athletes to ''hold-out"
This seems to be the fraternity't
scheme for combating the majors, while
the minors who are not being troubled
about the salary question are threatened
with a general strike by the players
unless they agree to pay the transporta-
ton expenses Of the athletes. from their

TO RACE 2-YEAR-OLDS
AT NEW ORLEANS MEET

New Orleans, Dec. 2O-Horse owners
pledged themselves at a mass meeting at
the Fair Grounds here yesterday to race
their 2-year-olds at the New Orleans
winter meeting in spite of the Jockey
Clubs recent ruling prohibiting 2-year-
olds that raced before April from COM
petins on its tracks during the rest of
the year.
This action automatically bars all 2
year-olds racing in New Orleans from
competing on tracks in New York and
Maryland, which are under the jurisdic-
tion Of the Jockey Club: from the tracks
under the Jurisdiction of the Kentucky
Racing Association. and from the tracks
under the governing body In Canada.
Seventy-fve horsemen gathered at q
conference with Racing Manager Joseph
A. Murphy in the office of the Business
Mems Racing Association and this reso-
luton was passed. Practically every
turfman owning yearllngs pledged HIM
self to start them here, and the opinion
was generally expressed that the rule
was an unfair one. 1t also was the sense
Of the mass meeting that the horsemen
bind themselves together to ignore the
Jockey Clubs ruling
There are 11O yearlings now stabbed
at the Fair Grounds. Racing Manager
Murphy explained that the Business
Mems Racing Association stood ready to
guarantee that there would be 2-year-
old races five days of the week, and in
turn asked the owners to promise they
would fit these races.

CATHOLIC U. QUINT
PUSHED BY. L0YOLA
Brooklanders Nose Out Baltimore
Team in Great Game.

Loyola University Of Baltimore threw a
great scare into Coach Freddy Rice's
Catholic University basketball quint last
night at the Carroll Institute gymnasium,
when the Brooklanders nosed out the
visitors in an exciting and hard played
game by a 80 to 81 score.
This Loyola quint proves to be a hard
working outfit and kept the Brooklanders
on the defensive until shortly before the
final whistle was sounded when, through
the accurate shooting of O'Bdine and
Glasscott, the locals finally forged ahead
and landed the honors.
The first half ended with the visitors
having one-point lead. the score read
Ing l3 to Il, but shortly after the second
period got under way Catholic University
rallied and were soon on even terms
with the visitors. With eight minutes
left to play, Loyola overlook the Brook
landers one point and gathered a lead
that appeared as II the game was tucked
away. when OBrIne and Glasscott got
busy and the visitors never again took
the lead.
The passing OF the Loyolas quint was
better than has been seen here to date
but shoots from the center of the floor
killed their chances. The Brooklanders
passed exceptionally well with O'Brine
and Glasscott starting most of the
rushes. The lineup and summary:

OFFICIALS OPPOSE
NEW PERIOD PLAN

Philadelphia. Dec. 20. Perez
Haughton's suggestion that the game
of football be changed to the extent
of doing away with time periods and
substitute a certain number of plays
in each quarter was handed a jolt at
the second annual meeting of the offi-
cials. coaches and players of the
Philadelphia district, held at the Hotel
Walton last night. The gridiron So
Ions went on record as being opposed
to any change, and unanimously voted
against Haughton's suggestion.
1t was pointed out that to base the
length Of the game on a certain num-
Der of plays in each period would slow
up the game, and for teams of the
NOst type. in which running of plays
speedily is an asset. II would work a
terrible hardship and would be detri-
mental to football This would be a
poor change and would cause a game
to drag nearly an entire afternoon.
Action was taken on the Haughton
suggestion, for it was learned that the
rules committee. at its annual session,
proposed to take action on it. The
recommendation made by the solons
last night will be forwarded to the
chairman of the rules committee.

INDIANA REFUSES
LETTERS TO- STARS

Bloomington. Ind, Dec. 2O-The athle-
tic board of Indiana University took a
hard rap at professional football today

B. Hess. of Hammond, Ind, for partici-
pating in the Pine Village-Clabby foot
ball game, at Lafayette, on December

Erehart has been the mainstay of
lndianas football team for the last three
years. He also is a baseball and track
athlete of ability

bunting and forward passing was a fea-
ture of every game this year. This was

MINOR LEAGUES Will
MAKE final EFFORT
Leaders Plan Special Meeting When
National Commission Meets.

New York. Dec. 2o.-Representatives Of
the minor leagues will attempt to In
huence the board of directors OF the
National Association to call q special
meeting at Cincinnati on January s, when
the National Commission meets for its
annual conference. ....t
The several prayers for redress rat
flied by the minor body at the recent
New Orleans parley to be pressed sep
arately to each of the major leagues
were by those august bodies put square
ly UP to the triumvirate. As yet the
minor leagues have not conceded defeat.
They believe that II their petition for
redress Of alleged evils were put square
ly up to the Big Three some sort of
adjustment might be arrived at that
would be of great benefit to both sides.
In order to arrange a special meet
ing of the National Association a two
thirds vote Of members is required. The
three Glass AA league heads, with a
number OF the Class A and Class B cir
cults. are now attempting by mail to
get the necessary signatures to the ONCE
of Secretary John Farrell.
Those who advocate a meeting are Of
the opinion that a second conference
might result in twofold good. Not only
could the requests for a new legislative
board and relief from draft on Class AA
CluDS DC pressed WIN greater SNOW OIL
strength. but It would also be possible to
effect certain territory redistribution. In
the smaller minor leagues the circuits are
not SO compact as they should be. Travel
ing expenses contribute to an overhead
that can be offset by the development of
talent commanding fancy prices on the
open market
A great many OF the minor leagues
have pledged themselves not to accept
from major league teams any players
sent down under optional agreements.
They hope in this way to be able to force
the National and American League op-
orators to cut adrift from much young
talent So soon as these players have
been declared free agents. the minors fig
ure. they may be secured without ex-
pense at more reasonable terms.
II the minor leagues have the nerve to
go through with their proposed blow at
farming" they may serve John K. Ten
er a mighty fine turn. National League
clubs, of course. will have to pare down
to twenty-five men. II the managers
cannot cover up some OF these It will
force an unusual number of uncondi-
tional releases.

season and claims that he could not enter

promised the race for this year and the
