HARMONY FIVE DEFEATS
LIBERTY OUTFIT 21-16

"Matey" Melko's Harmony five
basketball team opened their season
last night by scoring a 21-16 victory
over the fast Liberty five of New
Brunswick on Kozusko's court III
Hall avenue before a crowd of about
five hundred people. The contest was
a nip and tuck affair throughout
and was an unusually hot contested
| affair particularly for the opening
game on the schedules of the I'VE
teams.
Yves Hanson playing in a forward
position and Melko in the pivot posi-
ton were high point getters for the
Amboy team, while Stackowsli and
Harkins were high score men for the
county seat aggregation. The floor
work of Glochau. Hubbard and
Katransky aided materially in the
victory of the Harmony team.
Tho New Brunswick team scored
a foul goal to start the game, Hanson
evening matters with a shot from the
fifteen foot line after which the
county seat court team scored a fed
goal and ran up a total of sever
points to one ry the home team. Il
Harmony players played better ball
towards the end OF the first session.
and the half ended 1913 in favor OF
the visitors.
The second half found the Harmony
club going strong and although the
first ten minutes of this half was
holly contested. during the last ten
minutes OF the game the home team
ran up a comfortable lead and copied
the game. Charles Brownmiller re-
fereod the game.

RUTGERS PLAYS
/. VIRGINIA POLY
Game at New Brunswick To-
morrow Expected to De-
velop Into Close Contest.

BY specId Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 15:-
Rutgers will have a stif opponent
in the Virginia Poly eleven that
plays here tomorrow afternoon. Al
though the southerners are not
making the invasion with an excep-
tionally strong team, they are a de-
termined bunch Of fighters n have
been heading for this game since
the season started.
The coaches during the past week
at Rutgers have been directing their
energies to the ironing out OF
wrinkles in the machine by individ-
ual instruction. Field Coach Kendall
has been working hard on the n
that showed considerable improve
ment against Lehigh last saturday,
but which is not yet UP to the Rut-
gers standard. The backheld men
and ends have been going through
defensive and offensive moves un-
der the eve of Assistant Coach John
n. Wittpenn, Jr.
In the Lehigh tilt the ends and
tackles did not get down the field
fast enough TO suit the coaches and
much time has been devoted TO the
Improvement of this department
The aerial attack and defense, OF
which so much time has recently
been spent, were almost neglected
during the past week.
The coaches have been held up II
their work by the injuries sustained
by many of the players in the Lee
high game and 1t is not yet certain
that all of the backfeld regulars
will be able to start tomorrow
game. The first few days of thi'
week had not seen many of the frs
string players In uniform.

THIS IS A GREAT COUNTRY
SAY TRApSHOOTING CHAMPS

France. Belgium and England did
MT impress the members of the
United States Olympic Trapshooting
team as being places where they
care to hang up their hats for the
remainder of their days. The shoot
ers were glad to make the trip as
the representatives of Uncle Sam, but
they were more than glad to get
back to the United States. It is nes-
essary to go away to appreciate what
a wonderful country We have here.
The Statue of Liberty was a joyful
sight to several.
The American shooters after win
ming everything in the English Cham
pionships and Olympic games visited
Brussels. Paris. and some of the bat
tleflelds of Belgium, n on their re-
turn painted desolate pictures of this
war torn country, and declared that
no matter where they went the peo-
pie didn't seem to be working, that
II was next to impossible to get things
done, and the feeling was that ihe
Germans should be made to pay
dearly for the damage they had done.
and until the Germans have paid the
natives will not do much work.
Therefore, things are more or less at
a standstill.
Efforts of United States Army Of
fcers i'm their behalf were praised
by the members of the team. They
c~ciieve if II had not been for the as
sistance of these officers they would
Mt have gotten anywhere.
On the trip from Boston to Bel
GUM the shooters were not allowed
to practice. but on the return voyage
there were no rules which prohibited
trapshooting and the shooters en-
gagged in matches daily.
One day the last shell shot by Mari
Arie In winning the Olympic champ
ionship, was CHANGED off for tn
benefit OF the Seaman's Fund and tn
empty she'll brought $500.
Lord Cochrane presented tn
prizes to the American shooters fol
lowing the English Championships
and in giving the championship
trophy to Frank Troeh said he hopet
it would return to England quicke
than the American Cup. 1t ism
likely to ever return. 1t Is a good be
that some American shooter will g.
to England yearly from now on t
keep the trophy here.
Frank Troeh's trunk was dropped
overheard in taking 1t from the shil
at Antwerp and 1t required severa
hours to fish it out of the water. Re
turning McNier's trunk was left oil
the dock at Antwerp. 1t came to tn
United States on the hex boat.
The Americans haven't anything
but the greatest praise for the sports
men they met abroad. Our shooter
were treated royalty in England. ant
the Britishers seemed TO feel happ!
in the fact that United states shoot
ers won every first place except one
May the best man win has always
been the motto of Briton in sport.

What Are You Going to do About 1t?
Is there need for h thorough fun
igation in organized baseball?
For two or three years the Ma
tional Commission permitted Chase
and Magee to continue in the Ma
tional League after Christy Mathew
son, the then manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds. had caught them
throwing ball games and betting
against their own team.
For nearly a year after the charge
was openly made that gamblers had
bribed seven members Of the 1919
White Sox to throw the world series
those men were permitted to con-
tinue in organized ball without any
thing being done by the National
Commission.
The National Commission was
headless for months and still is.
Two pitchers were banished from
the Pacific Coast League last spring
for betting on their W teams to

These same players were later
hired by the Little Rock club which
knew why they had been banished.

No Food For The Hair
So Good AS Cocoanut
And Palm Oils

The proper blend of these oils when
perfectly saponified add just that per-

and health to the scalp. So excellent
are their virtues that they have been
used separately for years as first aid
for the hair.
When perfectly blended and sus-
pended in solution, perfectly saponi-
fled as in Shuco Shampoo they are
valuable and almost indispensable to
the hair.
h Soaps and the many cheap forms
t\of emulsions do the hair more harm
Man good. They leave harsh sticky
film that covers the hair, STILES out

than before.
