BASKETBALL LEAGUE
FOR BUSINESSMEN

| Too much comment can not be made
concerning the objective which the To-
cal Young Men s Christian association
has in view when it organizes and con
duets such activities as the CONNER
cial Basket Ball league which already
/ has played off six of series Of thir-
| ty games which are to be played over a
period of ten weeks. The central OBJ
ject which the Y. M. c. A. officials
have in mind is first of all to afford
an opportunity for all the young men
| of basket ball which is the most popu-
lar American indoor sport. Approximate
| ly sixty young men are members of the
six Neams which compose the league
and all are more or less given an OPP
portunity to play on organized and we'll
equipped teams. The equipment is made
possible through local business houses
who together with the association furn
ish it. 1t is of the highest quality and
would do credit to any university or
high school team
An admission fee of ten cents is
charged for the three games which take
iplace on each Wednesday night thus af
fording all interested in basket ball an
excellent opportunity to witness three
basket ball games. The small fee which
is exacted is not for the purpose of
making money but for defraying the
expenses incurred by the purchase of
uniforms. printing of schedules and the
securing of medals for the members
Of the winning team. For those who
have not given the matter great deal
Of thought it may be surprising to
know that the cost Of organizing and
conducting the league is approximately
$4,000. so per cent of this amount is
paid by the business houses represent
led in the league and the remaining
amount is collected by 10c admissions.
The Games on last Wednesday night
were exceedingly interesting from
crowd which filled the gymnasium
cheered the boys continually for the
good plays and at no time was applause
lacking.
In the last game of the evening the
Price Co. took the lead in the stand
ing of the teams by defeating the Watt
Shipp Co. Thus far the Price Co. has a
perfect score of 1000 points having
won both games played. McTntire for

.sTHE FIRST vERMoNTERn

After the war was declared last April, |
And we had tho't about 1t a bit.
And discussed it with our families,
And had their opinion of it,
We decided to join the army.
To enlist in the National Guard,
To uphold our country's honor,
Where our allies had fought SO hard.
We would be with our own fellows,
The lads we had always known,
We thought that that would be so fine,
When we were far from home.
We could talk Of our old school days
When we used to have such fun,
Before we knew of the submarines
Or knew of the Lewis guns.
It would be such comfort to the
home folks,
To know that their boy far away,
Was with that fine clean fellow,
Who used to live over the way.
It would be mighty fine for our
sweethearts,
To know that we were around,
To watch her younger brother,
And keep him safe and sound
And we thought that we would be
fighters,
As our grandfather's fought,
In the War of the Rebellion,
And as their examples taught,
We'd strive and die together,
And nothing would us daunt,
We would be the Volunteers
OF glorious Vermont.
'Twould be the only unit,
That would be given a chance
To carry our dear old state flag,
To the battlefIelds of France.
We didn't want to be drafted,
So soon made UP our minds,
That as long as our country was in it,
We would let the people find
That old Vermont would do her share,
To help to win the fight,
And to show the German Kaiser,
That we were in the right.
We had the finest regiment
That any state could boast,
You couldn't find a better
If you search from coast to coast.
Ihen the order came one sunday,
! To break us into twain,
And the first division started
| To the ammunition train.
Thus they started and continued,
| Time after time until today,
Of two thousand good Vermonters
| Scarce three hundred Of them stay.
We cannot understand it,
/ But perhaps our general knows,
/ That killing personality
Is best to fight the foe,
| And separating brothers,
i And tearing them apart,
i Inspires the battle spirit,
II In a brave Vermonter's heart.
! But we are here to do our duty,
/ And not to reason why,
And must go to fight with strangers,
And with strangers, do or die.
And when they tell us Forward"
Fight and fight to kill,
Well be there not forgetting
That we are Vermonters still.
From Major John Tinker.
