BASKET BALL

emerged on the long end of a 17-14 !
score.
The third and last period made /
most Of the history Of the game for,
while so per cent of the Littleton au-
dience behaved like true sportsmen, !
applauding the good plays of both
teams, the other so per cent together
with somewhat larger percentage of
the Littleton team began to show
traces of bad blood The crowd
Kissed and hooted at the umpire, who,
by the way did an excellent job, and
Ellis couldn't shoot foul for St.
Johnsbury without being abused by
half the audience One basket To-
Gated on the stage was surrounded
by small boys who climbed all over
the supports and encroached on the
playing floor trying to prevent Ellis
from scoring fouls. 1t did them little
good as he shot Is out of 10 tries,
truly remarkable record, while the
Littleton team shot but six out of
20. Two Of Littleton players started
a fist fight with some St. Johnsbury
players in the open floor and many a.
time did they put an Academy boy in
to the corner among the spectators
to slug him. The play of the Little
ton team was contrary to good
craftsmanship throughout the game
| and their illegal body blocking and
hipping was wicked.
Finally the whistle blew and stop
ped the tense and turbulent contest
| and, amusing as it may seem, nobody
knew who had won. The little knot
of green and white clad athletics in
the cluster about the score keepers
suddenly broke into wild rejoicing as
the bookkeepers had announced St.
Johnsbury winner with a score Of

Fearlessly Stated

New York, Jan. IA review of

greatest in the history of the organ

ment was made public on Saturday
by the associations war work coun-
Gil. The review deals with the COM
plants of canteen overcharges made
by some of the returning soldiers,
and states that because of frequent
reiteration of these and other COM
plants by returning soldiers, John
r. Mott, general secretary of the
war work council, has asked that the
entire administration of the Y. M. G.
A. war program overseas be inves-
ugated by the inspector general.
1T Is our judgment" says Doctor
Mott, that these complaints should
be frankly and fearlessly faced. Is
guilty of profiting in the operation
of it's exchanges overseas? The fol-
lowing telegram from the third as
sistant secretary of war, Frederick
p. Keppel, is self-explanatory:
Matter of prices asked by
Young Mems Christian Association

department and conditions being

Association originally asked by Gem

army on cost basis. To do this had
to reckon in price fixing such over
head charges as transportation
charges and marine insurance so
that prices were much higher than
in this country. Young Mems
Christian Association made no profit,
but lost thousands of dollars.
