For two years the Simpson NJ. j..
representative basketball, league has
outclassed all of the other entrants
in the local Sunday School Athletic
League. but this season the other
three senior teams have decided to
put forth a winning combination.
Tomorrow night at the Y. NJ. c. "A.
two fast games are expected when
the champion Methodists play the
st. Peters Episcopal five in one game
while in the other the Presbyterians
and Baptists clash.
The Simpson NJ. T.. team will be
composed of five players who are
affiliated with other crack combina-
tons in this city and capable of put
ting up a high class game. They VIII
be Gene" Parker. a member of the
Windsors of Newark; Alden Smith,
of last years Simpson team: Fred
die GloChau, who plays with severa.
of the fastest light senior teams in
the city; "Yi" Hubbard, n member of
last years team, and west" Han
sen, who appears with several local
combinations.
The team which looms up on pa
per as the strongest contender for
first place honors is the newly en-
tered st. Peters five, which is being
captained by Louis "Pox" Booz. a
veteran at not only basketball but
every other popular sport. Playing
with Booz, who played with the Y.
VI. G. several years & against
the Riversides and the best teams in
the county, will be Harry "Da" Ma
can. another former Y. VI. G. player,
and possibly Bob Macan, n of Tot
tenville A.. C. courtmen. Walter
Dick" Oliver and George Dover are
expected to be the other first string
men. John Scrub" McCreery played
with the st. Peters team last week
and may continue to do so, thus add
ing to their lineup a former River
side and Auditorium player. Fritz
Ritter is utility man for the Epis-
copalians.
The st. Peters team opened then
season last Friday night at the "I'

Keeping the professional faint out

more oil less of a problem.

There are JUNIORS that the big

athletics.
Professional football in Ohio seeks

auently by giving out the statement
that it observes the "hands off" pol
Icy on players still connected with
colleges and universities.
But football has branched out into
gigantic commercial sport this sea-
BON. Gate receipts were so large that
many of the big schools are planning
70 build bigger stadiums.
In order to fill bigger stadiums
winning teams are necessary to draw
the customers through the %turnstiles.
All OF which points toward the
temptation of carrying the game fur

That's something for the football
phicials to consider when they meet

If football is to cease TO be an

The Speedway team will probably

The appointing of football cap
tains will put the soft soap skids un-
der fraternities who would rather
have a Phi Beta Kappa or some
other sort of kappa" generating the
team than a captain who knows how
football should be played.
John Robinson, the 150-pound
backfield star OF Marietta. will cap
tain the 1921 eleven. Fraternity pol
itics won't have anything to dc with
the way he runs the team on the
field.
This diversion taken by Coach
Neale is something to think about.
1t listens like the gospel of COM
mon sense.
Students at Cornell criticised Gil
Dobie for having a c~aptainless eleven
this year. but Gil managed to win a
half dozen games, anyway.
The practice of electing football
captains by the other letter men of
the team has been such a time-hon-
ored custom that the departure from
the precedent by Neale and Dobie is
rather startling.
