ANOTHER GOOD BILL

The Anti-Loan Shark Bill, intro
duced in the General Assembly by
The Kentucky Conference of Social
work, and known as Senate Bill No.
10 and House Bill No. 26, is a bill
drawn up by the Russell Sage Foun-
dation and has already passed some
sixteen States, among which are In
diana, Illinois and Ohio.
The Kentucky Conference of So
cial Work, in sponsoring the bill and
working for it has opened offices in
the Inter Southern Building, Louis
vile, to receive those who have be-
come victims of the 'loan sharks. y
AT that office they may tell of their
experiences and escapes free of .x-
pense from the clutches of these lend
ers.
Two millions Of dollars are being
loaned annually in Kentucky by the

rules. Gradually most of these OBJ
jectionable rules have been elimi-
mattel, giving players free range over
the entire field of play-making a
far better and faster game.
After graduating at G. c. in 1907,
I enrolled in the medical department
of the University of Michigan and
played basket ball on my class team,
the last year at G. c. l thought the
game was getting rough, but a sur
prise awaited me when our class
games began at Michigan. The game
began and before knew it / had
picked myself from the floor three
or four times, and / soon learned the
new style of play.
In 1905 Georgetown College played
and defeated Cincinnati Y. M. C. A.
21 to 10 and at that time they were

KENTUCKY COLLEGE WAS
AUTHORITY ON BASKET BALL

Georgetown College had the cham
pionship basket ball team Of the
world in 1905, according to ex-coach
Bede Thomson, who recently began
collecting basket ball dope. Accord
ing to the former Tiger coach, G. c.
that year defeated Cincinnati Y. NJ
c. A., who had previously tied the
Buffalo Germans, a semi profess
sional team that claimed the worlds
championship in 1905.
The dope iroves that sle Tigers
won the inter-c collegiate champ m
ship and by comparative scores
Georgetown can claim the worlds
championship. Dope is hardly ever
indicative of the comparative
strength Of teams, hut the dope
mentioned above is as complete and
as convincing as the usual dope OF
recent years in athletics.
DIR. Harry G. Herring, '07, Lex
ington physician, was captain of this
wonderful gang of net stars that year
In response to the inquiry of re-
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-02-12

porter, he tells an interesting story
of the net game in its earliest years
in Kentucky.
DR.. Herring's statement in part,
follows:
About 1901, I think, basket ball
was introduced at Georgetown Col
lege and at that time was in its in
fancy in other Institutions.
This new game was fairly well
taken and soon gained popularity
and in a year or so G. c. forged to
the front and won a majority of the
games of 1901 and 1902. l can find
no record of the games played from
the old files of the papers.
In 1908 more interest was being
taken by the colleges of Kentucky
and since then basket ball has come
into its own. Georgetown won the
X. !. A. A. basket ball championship
from 1902 to 1907 inclusive-and
during that time defeated teams that
were among the best.
In the early days of play the re-
strictions hampered the game to a
great extent as did the severe foul

Loan Sharks at rate of from one
hundred and twenty to six hundred
and sixty per cent. year. According
to the stories told at the conference,
offices, a majority of the borrowers
preferred to pay this extortion, rather
than pay the cost of court trial.
The bill now before the Legisla-
ture protects the small money Dor
rover. Every lender must take out a
license with the Banking Commits
sioner Of Kentucky. Every lender
may charge on loans under $500 not
to exceed 31-2 per cent a month,
which is equivalent to a charge of 35
cents on $40; SO cents on $25, and
so on. To charge more than this is
made crime, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment.
The division on Remedial Loans of
the Kentucky Conference of Social
Work, the committee directly in
charge of the bill, is composed of c.
c. Stoll, Of Louisville, who is chair
man; Robert Vaughn, also of Louis
vile, who is secretary; A. T. Hert, of
