In Close Game
Benzoni's Fleetness Keeps
Winners i'm Lead; Scores
All but Two Scarlet Points
F,pm a speetol correapon.,cnt

C3DQH4GHC
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Dec. IT.
The veteran Rutgers team triumphed
over Columbia here this afternoon bv
q score of 2S to ID in contest which
lacked no real action from start to fin
lsh. The Scarlet's team work was on
edge, and it was the accurate handling
OF the ball, combined with Benzoni's
heetness. that kept them in the lead.
The latter scored twenty-six of the
Rutgers points and won the game al
most single-handed.
Rutgers took the lead at the start
and relinquished it only for a minute
during the first half Columbia was
ever dangerous. and at no time during
the game was more than four points
in the rear. The guarding of Rutgers
was so compact that it forced Column
bia to rely almost entirely ON long
shots ior its scoring, Captain Watson
making three field goals in the first
haf from mid-court. Rutgers, on the
other haId, continually worked the ball
down the length of the court until an
easy shot by Benzoni completed the
play. Both teams missed many chances
TO score from the field, and the play at
times was unusually rough.
During the first ten minutes Of play
neither quintet scored more than a
single field goal. but wonderful spurt
by Benzoni accounted for six goals for
Rutgers, while Watson's baskets almost
evcned matters, Scarlet leading by q
single point at half time.
Scoring was scarce during the last
period, each team garnishing three
baskets, but Columbia committed many
fouls, which gave Rutgers the ad-
vantage. Watson and Pulleyn did the
best work for Columbia, while Benzoni
and Dornan starred for the local COL
legians.
This was the second game for Rut-
gers, who defeated DreXel last Satur-
day. Fifteen hundred persons wit
messed the game, which was part of the
sophomore hop festivities.

Golf Expenses

1t has taken golfers in this country some time to
realize they were being soaked in almost every drec-
tion with the cost Of play far above what it should be-
but at last they are beginning blink into the light
of dawn.
There has been little no attempt at economy in
any direction.
1t has been taken for granted too long that every
golfer was millionaire, willing to pay any price for
anything he wanted. There have been waste and ex-
travagance in building and in the upkcep of number
less courses There has been entirely much money
put in eubhouses. Balls and clubs have been too ey
penslve but this cost is coming down and there will be
a downward revision in all other ways
If few rich men desire to have an expensive club
house and exclusive course that of course is their
affair
But this has nothing to do with the problems of the
hundreds OF thousands who not rich men, but who
still have keen fancy for the way of the ancient
green
When golf expenses properly handled and di-
rected there will be five million, in place of one million
golfers in the United States about the same propor-
tion that England and Scotland know to the population
at large.

STAGE SET FOR X. P. DISTRICT
MEETING.

Everything is ready for the big K.
p. district meeting. Even the extra
goat which G. II. Dunham has placed
at the disposal of the order, is in
excellent trim. Twenty-six candidat IS
are to be initiated into the rank Of
page, but previous to this they are
to be given big feed in the armory
with the visiting knights. A street
parade, under the direction of knight
Hummer Cummerford, is going to be
one of the many interesting features.
This parade will form in front of the
X. P. Hall on Main street at five
o'clock. Following the parade the
knights will repair to the new armory
where several of Oscar Hockaday's
prize steers will be devoured. Fol-
lowing the dinner at the armory- all
knights and the candidates will re-
turn to Castle Hall for the big even
ing's session. Every X. P. is urged
to be present, and as many as can
should be at Castle hall during the
afternoon to meet the visiting knights
and Grand Lodge officers.

A 14th Machine Gun Battalion, of the
fifth Division. His record as a SOL
dier is unique in many respects. He
participated in many OF the conflicts
on the western front, and on Nov. 5th,
1918. he was cited for bravery, when
his unit crossed the river Meuse. He
also was given a certificate for brav-
cry and heroism signed by Woodrow
Wilson, Gen. J. J. Pershing, Pres. Poin-
care, and the adjutant of the allied
army. The members OF his company
presented the parents of the deceased
soldier with fourteen karat gold
star, on which is engraved his mill
tary record.
After having been SO signally hon
ored by men high in the affairs of
nations at war with Germany, this
brave soldier made the supreme sa-
crifice for his country on the day be-
fore the Armistice was signed-No-
vember 10th, 1918. A rifle ball struck
the soldiers head, causing his death.
Dale Mattice is survived by his
parents, and one brother. Gerald, and
many other relatives and intimate
friends. His body was brought to
this country with the last boat load
Of soldiers who fell on the battle
fields of France. Many more Amer
ican boys lie buried on French soil,
and their bodies will be returned to
the home land upon request of rela-
tives.

DELAWARE BANK IS ROBBED.

Yeggmen OF considerable exper-
ience worked their way into the Della
ware Savings bank at Delaware last
Thursday night. and succeeded in dig
ging hole through the tile brick
vault sufficiently large to permit them
to enter the vault. The safe in the
vault was not molested. but with
sharp pliers every safety deposit box
was opened and Liberty bonds, to thu
approximate value of $4,000 were ta-
ken. and papers scattered about the
vault. The Yeggmen procured their
tools at the Illinois Central Railway
tool house Just what time the thieves
entered the bank is not definitely
known. They had opened the rear door
in order to max, hasty exit if they
should be detected. Early last spring

believed to have been home talent,
hut nothing of value was tax IN at that
time. State detectives are working
