INTERCOLLEGIATE LEAGUE
BASKETBALL STANDING

Three games were. chartered for de-
cision this week in the Intercollegiate
Basketball League. The University Of
Pennsylvania, champions last season
and leader in the current campaign,
will hold the court in two of these
contests, while Yale, in second place.

again Thursday night, Lincoln's Birth
day. Pennsylvania will furnish the
opposition in this Alumni Day feature,
The Quakers are the traditional rivals
of the Blue and White quintet on this
occasion, but this week the game takes
on added interest because of the tight
race for the league championship.
The Colunsbia-Penn clash is ex-
pected to be the crux of the season
for both teams, although it is rather.
early in the race for one or the other
to be eliminated through defeat at
this stage. However, the outcome is
ultimate standing. 1t is figured that
Penn will have easy sailing if it over
comes Columbia Thursday, and by the
same token Columbia is expected to
make a hard fight for the title if il
vanquishes the formidable Penn out
fit.
The Columbia tossers have been puy
through q special course of sprouts
by Coach Claus Benson the past week.
Particular emphasis was placed on
team coordination and passing. Ben

most glaring fault and weakness, the
tendency to make too many personal
fouls In the two games played to
date the Blue and White team has
committed thirty seven fouls, and
their defeat was traceable to this
cause.
Having disposed of Princeton and
Yale inside of four days, Penn has
no apprehension ressrding its ability
to overpower Columbia. Next Satur~
day night, Lon Jourdet's Red and Blue
aggregation will travel to Hanover to
administer the fourth straight defeat to
the feeble Dartmouth team. The same
evening, Yale will travel to Ithaca in
the hope Of repeating its victory over

Although wholesale prices have

Ten million dollars in American money has already been invested in the little republic. but in the opinion of Mr Schurz, millions more of Am erlcan capital would find profit able return there.
 Nearly the size of the state of Missouri and with less than 100000 inhabitants, Paraguay has untouched resources of amazing variety and possibilities MT. Schurz told cor respondent of the Associated Press.
 "Over half the country is forested with the finest hardwood in the world" he said. Its soil and climate are capable Of raising anything under the sun, including wheat and bananas. Experiments have proven that moro cotton to the acre can be raised on Paraguayan soil than any other soil where cotton is cultivated at present. It is good for tobacco and sugar, it is good for anything.
 Oranges in Paraguay grow wild. You would not believe that only one out of every 100 oranges pro- duced in Paraguay, ever is eaten. But it is so Billions of oranges lie on the ground and rot. n
 There are deposits of manganese and iron of unknown extent that have not been worked since, the Para. guayan war ended in 1870. It is waiting for railroad to be built to | it. There is also copper.
