What did it do to Sergeant Earl

his lungs or did 1t make him stronger,
more vigorous and hardy?
The sport Light focuses tomorrow
night on Madison Square garden
where Caddock> and Joe Stecher are
TO grapple. Interest is general on
the outcome, not only because the
worlds wrestling championship is at
stake, but because it will furnish
material for theorists. who have
been swapping opinions on the wars

Caddock threw Stecher in 1917 and
won the worlds championship title.
Since that time, however. he has
gone thorugh a war, he has done a
hitch at the front, lived in the
trenches, slept in the mud and water,
ate of army chow" that he claims
didn't agree with him and finally was
gassed in the Argonne. Stecher did
his bit in the navy and didn't have
such strenuous time.
Opinion is running to the belief
that it will be question OF physical
ability and endurance and IN this re-
spect the talent is inclined to favor
Stecher by shade on the foregoing
grounds.
Caddock looks fit and pronounces

Standing Of Teams.

| Trinity came out on top in the las
lgsmes of the older boys church
basketball league. Although their vic
itory over the Congregationals, yester
day. does not give them undisputee
right to the pennant there is hardly
any doubt bat that they will eventual
lily win it. One game remains to be
played in the league resulting from
tie game early in the season between
the Trinity boys and the Baptist. This
game will be scheduled at an early
date and il is not expected that 1t Will
make ary change in the present stand
ing of the teams. However, If Trinity
should lose this game the pennant will
go to the United Presbyterian team
which has only one loss charged up
against it.
Trinity won decisive victory over
the Congregationals who had assem-
bied the very best team within their
power with the determination 10 de
feat the leaders The lineup of the
Trinity team consisted of Worster and
AIling. forwards, Wood. cenler: and
C. and V. Laporte. guards. The Com
gregationals had Ebersole and Phil
lips. forwards: Rich, center: Abel
and R. Millspaugh. guards.
The Trinity team e1celled In team
work as we'll as their ability to hit
baskets. Worster, captain of the
Trinities carried of the high honors
by getting four field goals and was
very prominent in breaking up the
passes OF his opponents. Alli1g sue
ceeded in making three field goals.
The scoFe of the first half resulted in
the Methodists leading by an advant-
age OF three points, 6 10 s. IN the sec
ond half they outpointed the Congre-
gationais II 10 3.
Westminster went down to defeat IN
the first game OF the afternoon before
the heavy team of the United Presoy-
terians, the score being % to 5. In
this defeat Westminster lost their
chance for the pennant. Although the
Westminsters displayed perhaps a iit'
tie better team work they could not
cage the ball and Hart, the star for
ward for the United church succeeded
in getting away from the guards many
times during the game and totaled SIX
field goals Only by the defeat of the
Trinities in their final game with the
Baptists will the United Presbyterians
have a chance for the pennant. Al
though only one victory was scored
against them during the season, one

count OF failure to have the required

In the second half the Red Tops
