TIGER FIVEHAS
GOOD SEASON
Championship Won With Rec.
ord Identical to That of
Last Years Team.

The basketball season Of 1921, on which
the curtain has just been drawn, was as
successful as any ever participated in by
a Tiger FIVE. Seventeen game were won
and one lost. A record identicslly the
same was made by last years team in
winning the championship.
The Missouri team came very near to
doubling the total score of their oppo-
nents in the eighteen games. The Ruby
Clevenger five accumulated 643 points
while he opponents xere able to count
335. OF Missouri's total, l6l points were
made by George Williams from the foul
line, and 482 points were field goals. The
Tiger five averaged better than Is field
goals a game, which shows a remarkable
The number Of points which
the opposition rolled up, in contrast to
the huge total of the local FIVE, shows
plainly that the defensive end of the
machine was also well taken care of.
OF the Missouri total almost half was
made by George Williams, center. This
was made possible by the fact that he
was throwing the fouls. He Gagged sue
76 field goals, just two less than
he totaled last season. In all probabil-
ity he will be the high scorer of the Val
ley this season. George Bond was second
on the local five. with So goals. Cspfsin

TOTEST OURS
Joe Beckett, Adept at Being
Knocked Out, Wants to
Demonstrate.
By HENRY |. FARRELL


New YoRK. March 8.-Joe Beckett.
the most knocked out champion of the
ring, is coming over TO test the quality
Of the American canvas.
The heavyweight champion of England
has written to Charley Harvey to get
him some work over here, as he is plann-
ing to bundle himself aboard a boat in
a short time.
Becketi's star act is curling up on the
canvas. so Harvey anticipates no irou-
bic getting some of the second or third
rate heavies to push over the English
man.
Joe has been having some trouble in
London with Tommy Burns. former
heavyweight champion Of the world.
Burns has been writing fights for a
London paper and has taken several
good verbal punches at the champion.
Beckett resented the criticism and told
Burns about il one evening in a public
place. Words. followed and, according
to the story, Burns hattened Beckett
without ceremony.
Now some Of the promoters want TO
match the pair. Burns says he is will
ing to take on the champion for a side
bet Of two thousand pounds and will give
the receipts to charity. Beckett is quiet.
Tex Rickard figures that Beckett
would be good card once. as a lot of

ONEHAT WILL
HIDE $50 BATS
Queer Little Creatures Hiber-
nate in Close Quarters
During Winter.

Prof. A. Albrechi, in his study OF
bats in connection with bulletin which
he was preparing for the College OF
Agriculture. discovered some queer
things. The connection that these crea-
lures have with agriculture is, that the
BAT guano is a very expensive and use
full fertilizer.
Professor AlbreChi did not go to the
caves Of the South, where the bats are
so numerous and so much written about.
He went to one Of the caves at Roche
port. in Boone County. Here he found
them in large numbers alternating dur
ing the winter.
The remarkable feature about the hih
ernation Of bats is the large number that
can crowd into a small space. In ,one
little niche Of the cave Professor Al.
brecht counted 1900 bats They hang
from the wall by their hind legs, and
crowd very close together.
When this study was made the bats
were dormant and could be handled. A
space six inches square was marked off
and the bats in this area counted; IL
was found to contain eighiy-one bats. In
a cluster about the size Of an umbrella
there we're found to be $780,
Professor Albrecht found a cluster
which he could just cover with an army
hat He ''thswed' this group out to
study their actions. The bats first began
to wiggle and then they began to bite
and lick their joints that had been mo-
iionless all winter. After limbering up.
they began to flutfer their wings and
flew out Of the cave. In this cluster
the size Of an army hat there were $50
bats.

/ laurels and not risk the chance of a de-
feat after a successful season.
Following is an extract from the arti.
Gle:
Usually there is much red tape about
entering a scholastic or a college cham
pionship team in a post-season tourna.
ment. Frequently refusal to enter is ex-
planned, although never openly, by the
fact that the school authorities in ques.
ton didn't care to risk the chance of
defeat, being g-content rather TO res; on
the laurels Of its regular season.
THAT is a rather self-saiis6ed attitude
and one not conducive to the continued
general popularity Of the team or the Of.
icials in question.
What matters a defeat if it comes at
the hands of better team? What mat.
tiers a defeat if the losing team goes
down in hard fought battle, resting its
case on its sportsmanlike demeanor and
its spirit Of drive and battle?
Every basketball follower who sees
a tournament game next week, and there
will be thousands, will regret that the
University Of Missouri FIVE did not enter.
Missouri has a great team, team that
probably could have travelled the full
route to the finals this week, and there
are hundreds of basketball fans who be-
lieye the Tigers could have won the ma.
tional championship.
Missouri would haze had a chance 10
prove its real worth against a champion

TO BUILD BALKAN RAILWAY
Will Connect Belgrade With Adri-

By HENRY WOoD

tUnifcd Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Mar. 8.-The ''Adristico" is the
name that will be given to the new line
Of railway that is 10 connect Belgrade
with the Adriatic seaport Of Cattaro and
WHICH is expected to work wonders in
carrying modern civilization into certain
sections of the Balkans.
Where the railway was the principal
factor in carrying modern progress into
the western portions of the United States
half a century ago, the lack of railways
appears to have been the determining
factor in leaving a state Of primitiveness
that is a surprise to Americans.
However. JugO-Slavia's new railway
project is intended more especially as a
commercial shortcut to Europe, rather
than purely as a means Of civilization.
