ers of illinois vote fayorably on .

of the legislature, and il Governor
Small signs the successful measure
that will legalize the glove sport,
it is probable the men appointed
by the state executive will be given
power that will enable them to try
out several suggestions recently
made for the betterment Of the
game.
One of the important functions
Of the commission will be that of
making rules that will prevent evils
that have cropped up in other states
and one Of these evils has been the
seat question.
Two Sets Of Tickets, One Trick.
1t Is not a new stunt to sell two
sets Of tickets for a show, which
means that two persons purchase
tickets for the same seat, IL it hap
pens that the house ID "sellout."
But it should be stated that
wherever this shady work has been
discovered action has been taken to
prevent a recurrence and that those
responsible for this practice have
been punished. There are various
other methods used which have
caused trouble in seating fans at
shows.
Frazier Called to Task.
The Wisconsin boxing commits

Frazier Of Kenosha on the pan be-

However, it is doubtful II Angus
tAna can defeat the Peorians so de-
cisively in tonight's fracas a. in the
game with them earlier in the sea-
son. Since its defeat at the hands
of Augustana, the Peoria school has
greatly improved. Information
floating around the tri-cities is to
the effect that the Bradley aggrega-
cation has all kinds Of new plays,
and these will be worked in to-
nights game. The Peorians will
also put forth an extra effort to-
night to pay Augie for the previous
defeat.
The Bradley team also has the
advantage Of playing on It's own
floor, and before . crowd Of its
own supporters. Whether this will
have any material effect on the Au-
gustana five remains to be seen, but
| it is certain that 1t will instill In
Coach Robertson's men an addition
al amount Of fight and Swedherg's
warriors will have to stretch a
point in winning the tussle.

Eight men and the coach made
the trip. Bengston and Swanson
will probably be used at forward,
Andreen at center and Bufhn and

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 5.-The
honor paid to DR.. James A. Nal
smith by the National lntercolleg-
late Athletic Association of Amer
ica-life membership on the has
ketball Jules committee-comes to
him 80 years after he invented the
same Of basketball. Doctor Mai
smith is head Of the department OF
physical education At the Univers-
ity of Kansas.
Basketball was the result OF =
deliberate attempt to evolve game
suitable for men to play indoors.
In 1891, Doctor Naismith was In
charge of a gymnasium class at
the Springfield, Mass, Y. N. c. A.,
then an instructor college for ath-
.letes and association men. The
men enrolled in the class were foot
ball, basketball and track athletes
and became weary of the inside
work consisting Of boxing, wrest-
ling and swimming.
Thought Plan for Weeks.
At a meeting Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
instructors, some one suggested
that invention is merely the use OF
things at hand. Doctor Naismith
remarked that invention of a new
game was possible. He concen-
trated for weeks ON this idea.
Football, lacrosse, hockey, SOC
Ger and other games, the doctor
concluded, we're too rough to be
played indoors. He decided to
work out his new game with Rugby
as . basis, eliminating the features
which made it extremely rough.
Tackling and kicking, he found on
ANALYSIS, were at the root OF the
evil. He eliminated tacklipg by al
lowing the player to run when he
does not have the ball; and by hav-
ing the ball passed with hands
oaly, he did away with kicking.
After sDuck on Rock"
When the question Of goals came
IN Doctor Naismith decided be
must have receptacies in which to
throw the ball. This idea was
borrowed from the old game OF
Duck ON the Rock" The upright
type of goal obviously could not be
used, nor any goal which would al
low the game to become strenuous
by permitting exclusive force In
scoring.
The superintendent Of grounds
was asked to furnish two boxes,
Is inches square. But these we're
not available Just then and two
peach baskets were offered. Doc
tor Naismith took these and hung
one at each end Of the court. using
the gallery for support Since the
height of the gallery happened to
be 10 feet, that il the present height
Of the goal.
Lacrosse furnished the plan -
