THE SPRING CLEANUP

A clean. beautiful Columbia should
he the result of the city cleanup
campaign which officially begins
April 5 if the hearty cooperation OF
residents and business men is thrown
into the task. But the City Council
has no intention of censuring anyone
who starts before that time.
Cooperation between the city gov
ernment and the residents will do
the trick. In the business section OF
Columbia there is no need to wait
until April5 S. The Easements, alleys
and property fronts should be cleaned
m at once SO that the street and
alley department will not be overbur-
dened with work when the Official
date for the city house-cleaning
comes.
The city agencies which are work.
ing for a cleaner Columbia deserve
the support of all. The Community
Council is planning to work for the
betterment of the city in cleanliness,
sanitation and civic beauty. The Car
den Club is planning to have the
homes of the city made beautiful with
flowers. The man who fails to re-
move the winters accumulation OF

"Y" FIVE BEATS VANDY;
READY FOR MICHIGAN
Wolverines Will BE on Pro-
gram Thursday Night, and
Memphians Will Have to
Extend Themselves.
BY BOB PIGUE.

Flushed with their one sided vic
tory over Vanderbilt, the Memphis
"Y'' basketeers are getting ready for
the invasion of the Michigan Wolver-
ines, who will meet the Memphians
on the local Y. NJ. c. A. court Thurs
day night, starting at SIS o'clock.
From all reports the invaders are
one of the strongest basketball ar
rays in the country. They are maxi
ing tour of the South and are out
to make clean sweep. 1t is needless
to, state that they are coming to
Memphis with the expressed determi-
nation of taking the measure, of the
locals.
Coach George Gleaves, of the "Y"
outfit, believes his quintet will show
more class in their game against the
Wolverines than they did against the
Commodores. 1t was their first big
game, and they lacked team work,
but they soon hit their stride, as was
evident in second period. and Coach
Gieaves believes they will give even
a. better account of themselves
against the Michiganders than they
did the Nashville bunch.
All of the "Y" regulars will be
available for the game. While a few
of them were shaken up at times
Tuesday night, there were no injuries.
and the team is in fine fettle for a
stiff contest such as Thursday nights
contest is sure to be.

Unusual interest is being shown in
the Knights of Columbus Bowling
league owing to the close race between
the different teams as well as the in
dividual averages of the various mem
bers. At present it looks like the race
for the pennant winner for the first
half of the season has narrowed down
between the Isabellas, Lafayettes and
Pilgrims. The former two are tied
for first place with the Pilgrims but
one game behind, The first half of
the season closes on Jan. 81. and the
winners are to play the winners of the
second half. which begins on Jan. %

to Is in Fast Tilt.

A brilliant attack, coupled with a
rare defensive, netted the Memphis
Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team lop-
sided victory over the Commodores
of Vanderbilt university in the initial
major league basketball game of the
season Tuesday night in the ny"
cage The final count was 81 to 10,
The Memphians score should have
been much larger and 1T would have
been had they played the same brand
of basketball in the initial half as
they did in the final, However, in
the opening session they played reck-
lessly and tried many long shots that
went wide. In the final period they
buckled down to business and soon
had Vandy so far behind that only
a miracle could have overhauled
them.
The Commodores showed only
flashes Of class, and their play as q
whole was ragged They not only
were unable to break up the fierce
offensive of the Bluff Citians, but
found it impossible to shoot goals
with any degree of consistency.
Many of their shots that should have
been easy scores were lost by poor
shooting. Ell y.
In striking contrast to- the poor
work of the visitors, the play of the
Memphians stood out as among the
best ever seen on the local court, And
it is a fact that the Bluff City array
should have played even better bas5
ketball, which they will in games to

American league pitchers handed
him 14S bases on balls last season,

In addition the babe missed IL full

chances that the home-run king

Naturally enough. Ruth will be

to get an earlier start than he did
