CARL OLSON LOSES
TO DR.. B. F. ROLL, /,

In a mat ARRAY that was both ez it
ing and amusing to the crowd OF enth ST.
asts OF the wrestling game that crow ded
the Lyceum last night, DR.. Ben z. Roller
succeeded by methods Of science and in
cidental strength to pin Carl Olson's
shoulders to the mat IN two straight
falls.
First bout was won IN s6 minutes and
seconds, by a body and hammerlock.
while next time up the medico downed
the Norwegian giant In minutes and 3
seconds, a head-and-body hold being en-
ployed in the Norwegian's undoing.
Lou Zeraga and Big Greek" mixed up
in the curtain-raiser, Zeraga winning
easily without tho assistance of a der
rick. Bumps Turner writhed with
Billy Murray in a fearful number and
slammed merry Murray twice.
The feature Of the preliminary affairs
was the splendid referee work Of Mr..
Isaac KRISTEN, who almost made the
bouts a wrestling battle-royal. Referee
Ike was thrown twice in the mix-up,
but II did not count, although applauded.
Pat OConner refereed the main bout
with Fis usual level-headedness.

PRINCETON NOT TO PLAY
MICHIGAN ELEVEN

Ann Arbor Mich, Jan. 6-Princeton
has refused Michigan a home and home
agreement in football after a dicker OF
two months between the athletic officials
of the two institutions. AS result the
Wolverine schedule for next fall is still
far from complete. The Tigers offered
a game at Princeton in 1917, but they re-
fused to sign a contract for a return
game at Ann Arbor the following sea-
son. Michigan found the one game con-
tract unsatisfactory three years ago. when
Harvard failed to give the Yostmen
return engagement on Ferry Field. Hence
the Princeton offer for a single game
in the East was turned down by the
Michigan board

CENTRAL DEFEATED
BY EASTERN TOSSERS
Capitol Hill Quint Wins. y to Il.
Business Beats Western, II to II.

The Inter-high School Basketball
League got away to a flying start yes
terday afternoon in the Y. M. c. A.
gym, when a double header was sched-
uled In which the Business team de-
feated Western q to Z, while the Eastern
quint sprung a surprise by trimming the
Central team in the nightcap, q to 81
In the first game the Western team
was the first to score, when johnson
Gagged one from the foul line. Botn
teams seemed to be nervous In the OPEN
ing minutes and the first quarter ended
with the clubs on even terms, with
seven points apiece. In the next period
the Business team came in with a rush,
and with the help of the Wise Brothers
shooting they managed to lead Western
by a 1s-to-lo count, when time was
called for the half
In the second half Business started to
mix things right and left, and Capt.
Mcdonald and Buck Wise were sent to
the showers by the officials. but even
with this greatly-weakened combination
the Stenographers landed the long end
Of the count. The shooting of B. Wise
and the guarding of the Business backs
were the features of this contest.
Scholastic followers we're given real
surprise in the nightcap when the Capital
Hill team romped in with the long end
OF tne count IN one OF lne DesI kdu1eS
staged in the ''Y" gym this season.
Eastern entered the fray with the odds
against them, but when the final whistle
was sounded, Coach McCafrery's crew
were on the top end Of the z2-to-A score.
Eastern presented a team that showed
the best passing of the quartet that took
the floor yesterday and with the help OF
Newman and Cummings. who did some
brilliant guarding. they had the Central
bunch on the run throughout the contest
Central had the long end Of the game
when the half ended because Of the goal
shooting of Gottlieb, but in the second
session he was covered in an A num-
Der one manner and never obtained an
other basket.
Eastern forwards paved the way TO
victory as Baldwin played rings around
White of the o Streets, while Thomas
and Earnshaw seem to be hard to cover.
The Capitol Hin team grabbed the game
out of the FIRE in the third period when
they came along with a rush and evened
the count at fourteen all. With but
few minutes left to play and Central
leading in the scoring. Thomas and Earn
shaw got busy and Gagged the needed
counters. The team work of the Eastern
quint was easily the feature Of the after
moons playing. The lineups follow:

The Guy Who Does as He Pleases,

Inc Guy VINO Does as he Pleases.
Dear Folks:
Yesterday Lon overhead a young brat
tell his mother he'd do just as he pleased,
when tn fond parent was givin' him .
Ill sound advice. Th' incident made tn
kid so red-hot that he rushed homo an
worked out tn followtn' for them who do
as they please:
No doubt you have frequently noticed.
among tn many folks you know.
tn kid who pays no attention to advice
from a friend or a foe.
Who'll keep quiet when you start in to
argue, but who seldom,if ever agrees.
Who dopes out his life from one motto,
an that is, ''I'u do as please"
he soon blossoms forth into young man.
hood. without bein' made to unbend,
An no matter how many have tried II,
they've had to give up in tn end
Perhaps he has seen his own errors, for
fool oftentimes plainly sees.
But simply because his is cautioned he
sticks tight to his DO as 1 please -
When he first ventures out into business.
his self-assurance, for a time, is
admired.
His high. naughty, cock-sure demeanor
by many may be greatly desired.
But his associates soon get his right
number, then quickly his skids are
well creased.
An it's tn sZnooth-slidin' slippery tobog-
gan for tn guy who did just as he
pleased.
II might be that later you'll see him,
when they've got him inside lookin'
out,
But still If you'd bother to question, he'd
find some excuse without doubt.
So don't waste good sympathy on him.
nor claim that he must be diseased,
For our Jails are all over-crowded with
tn guys who've done Just as they
pleased
DOPEY DAN.
Note-Lon says there's only one thing
on earth more sickenin' than a female
snob, an that Is her mate, if he is usin'
her stun.
