On Wednesday Frank Blgbee re-
turned from an extended trip through
the middle west and sontll and south
west. He reports large amount Of
traffic on all the trains going and
coming and that it was utterly i'm
possible to get berth under a twen-
ty four notice and impossible to get a
room in any of the leading hotels
unless telegraphed for in advance, and
the amount asked for rooms is out OF
sight, especially i'll the south where
the shortage is more noticeable. He
states that in DalIcs, Texas, the peo-
pie have to sit in he lobby chairs for
the night and in Los Angeles there
are no rooms at any price. San
Francisco was the only vlace that
seemed quiet. He also stated that he
was through some of the Standard
Oil Company fields and saw two
companies that are going to send ex-
perts to the oil fields in Pine Grove

pible and their defense was such that
pnly two field baskets were scored by
the local team. Mcintyre and Harri-
gan were the individual stars OF the
game.
When the teams appeared on the
eourt, many looked for a runaway
victory for the Amboyans but a rough
and tumble contest was expected. The
Aniboy combination lacked teamwork
and neither side scored for four min

cal team while Miss Regain, side center
of the visiting team featured for her
combination.
The Amboy team had their passing
down well and started running up a
score IN speedy fashion. The passing
Of Miss Handerhan and Miss Wilentz

scoring. Amboy was leading 24-7 at
the end of this half. Miss Henry re-
placed Miss Hanson toward the end of
