THREE NEW MEN
FOR PH|LA. FIVE
"Chickie" Passon, Former Penn
Fresh Star, Among New
corners on Myers Team

The Reading basketball team. which
has been picked by many to capture the
first half pennant of the Eastern Bas-
ketball League, will play here this eve
ming, meeting Bill Meyers Philadelphia
five at Musical Fund Hall, Eighth and
Locust streets The Bears are no doubt
the sensation of the season. and as they
are a good road team should draw a
large crowd to tonight's game.
Y Manager Myers will place an entirely
new combination on the floor. At least
two new faces will be seen in action
and there is every possibility that before
the contest is far under way that thirh
newcomer to Philadelphia cage society
will have been introduced.
The leader of the Phil'ies is deter :

| tionally released Lou Sugarman, play
er who has been among the topnOtchers
for many years. when player and man
ager could not agree.
Signs Three New Players
Meyers decided some time ago to Sc
cure new players for his team. Ear'y
this week he signed Schwab, of New
ark, whom he secured from Manager
| Benney, of Coatesville, in exchange for
| Willie MCCarter. Schwab will start at
forward and another Newark player
Skeets Wright, will jump center.
| There IL possibility that another
local lad will pair off with Schwab nj
| forward. Chick Passon has been signed
and the former star Of the Penn fresh
man team was taken on with the under
! standing that he will not warm the
bench.
| Chick Joined the Eastern League with
the understanding If he Is not played
regularly will return to Pal Bullick
Nativity team of the American League
where he is now playing. Passon is q
speed merchant, but there is some doubt
as to whether he has the physica' quail
ties to withstand the hard rigors OF
an Eastern League season. He will ir
all probability get his chance to show
what he is capable of doing in tonight's
| contest.
Coatesville Is Walloped
COatesville, new entrant in Eastern
League society, was introduced to the
ways of Trenton basketball last evening
and learned what vicious animal the
tiger is in his own cage. The Jersey
men had field night in running up
two pointers and sent eighteen spinning
through the net, the final score being
42-19.
Every man on the home club scored
at will with the exception of Eddie
White, who made but single goal.
The only Coatesville player apparently
present was Billy Black and the star
local lad came through with three OF
his teams five field goals. Coatesvile
is in need of at least two good players
il they intend to make any kind of q
showing in the league.

and a certain amount Of deception, was
big part of the modern offense.
We were told then that any good,
standard defense could make any pass.
ing defense game look ridiculous.
The only ridiculous part of this being
the statement.
A standard defense can block the
passing game, but the running game
will then have q chance to raise mcr
ryell.
It's the cmbinstion that makes first
class modern attack in which for ull
around efficiency Notrc Dame should be
placed no lower than the top.
Asking a Why9
WHY was it that Aldrich, one Of the
w best Yale backs in years. was only
a. substitute last season and was finally
tossed in the last few minutes Of play
in the 1919 Harvard Yale gamer
Why was it that Humphrey, who for
all around value looked to be the best
man on the Harvard team, had Il hard
time breaking into Harvard's two big
games?
Tn THE meanwhile, again, two alert
l. observers have written us that the

And that Jimmy Leach is the best back

l. ward man. "wherc Yale won q
moral victory last Saturday. Well

sort for the next forty years so far as
Harvard cares" Which about sizes ur

game, where you are cleaned out by q

Western Drama

"eStcI1l IThuA
THE West collected about so per cent
l. of footballs annual drama this fall,
with Ohio State leading the parade.
In fact, there has been nothing like
the drama Of conference championship
in all football history.
Games were won as time was mp with
the ball in midair on the last pass of
the day, or with eight or ten seconds
left In which to secure the needed points.
The East had little Of this sort to
offer, one of the few exceptions being
the Harvard Princeton game.
On a general average the West made
better use of the forward pass than the
East did, mainly because the West took
up the passing game years ago, when
most of the leading eastern universities
still regarded this art in the nature Of
being an oblong joke.
Lost Arguments
WE RECALL many years ago the
Wnumber of fervid arguments we lost
to eastern experts when we insisted that
the forward pass, properly developed
with skillful passcrs, skillful receivers

WELL AT COLUMBUS
REACHES OIL SAND

Is it the sand that produces
liquid gold? That is the ques-
ton hanging over a sample Of
the sand taken from the Tom
bigbee Oil and Gas Company's
Hardy Well No. l, which is on
display in the window of Devil
bliss book store. on Main street.
The sand was taken from the
well beyond the depth of 900
feet and oil men say that it looks
mighty like the big bit is ap-
preaching the oil region.
But a screen of secrecy has
suddenly been thrown around
the drilling operations and there
is not much information to be
had from officials in charge of
operations.
Signs have been posted about
the we'll and about the property
advising visitors that no Ques-
tons relative to the drilling
operations will be answered and
that no information concerning
the operations is available to the
public.
The drillers seem to be very
optimistic over the prospects,
and many are firm in the be-
lief that oil will be found. who
base their belief on their per-
sonal knowledge of oil wells
and the formations thus far en-
cOuntered.
From now on the drilling OPP
erations will be behind a smoke
screen. as it were. and there will
be little information or data con-
corning the well that will leak
through to the public.-Colum-

Italian lmmjoratIon.

The Chicago Italian Chamber Of
Commerce, with q membership Of ITS,
all but two Of whom are United
States citizens, has submitted a reso.
luton to congress. calling for oppo-
sition to all bills to suspend immi-
grafton, to restrict it on a percentage
basis or to subject Immigrant aliens,
and aliens visiting this country, to
unnecessary and vexatious regula-
lions.
It asserts that restriction OF Inn
migration on percentage basis is
openly intended to encourage immi-
grafton from Germany and restrict
it from Italy, which will result in ex-
tending citizenship to men who have
borne arms against the United States,
while denying 1t to others who have
fought for a common cause with the
United States.
