c. G. N. Y. LOSES ON
THROW FROM FOUL
Perfect Toss by Johnson
Brings Basketball Victory
to Columbia, Is to IA.

In one of the fastest and most thi Il
ing basketball games yet played in the
Morningside Heights gymnasium Colum-
bia last night obtained revenge on G. c.
". Y. for its defeat last year, and just
managed to squeeze out victory by
Is TO IA. The game was marked by ex-
ceptionally close guarding by both teams,
with the result that few field goals were
scored. Smoke" johnson, the brilliant
all-intercolfegiate forward, was the out
standing star He scored eleven points
for Columbia. Lamm showed to bas,
advantage for the losers.
Columbia got away to an early start
when foul was called on C. c. N. Y.
and Johnson made good the free toss
Horowitz came through with a beautiful
basket from under the goal. and the Blue
and White was never headed throughout
the remainder of the half. The diligent
guarding shown by both teams. the re-
suit Of Joe Deering's coaching at both
institutions, held the total number OF
baskets scored during the half to three
two for the Blue and White and one by
Lamm.
c. G. N. Y. came back with a rush al
the outset Of the second canto. and be-
fore Columbia woke up to the fact had
tied the score. Johnson started the
scoring when he broke loose from pack
of G. c. N. Y. guards and jammed the
ball through the net. Krinsky, star OF
the visiting five, came through with a
field goal and Hahn contributed another
moment later. The ball see-sawed
back and forth until Raskln received a
rapid pass under the goal and made good
the count. Lamm scored on a free
throw ana the count was tied.
At this juncture a double foul was
called on a wearer of the lavender. and
Columbia stands went wild with delight
as Johnson Gagged both shots from foul.
With only two minutes to play Lamr,
shot spectacular goal and the score
was again tied Another c. c. NJ Y.
player permitted a foul to be called on
him and Johnsons perfect throw scored
the point that won the game.
The victory gives Columbia the right
TO meet N. Y. u. for the title of metro
politan champions, as all other fives
have been eliminated. The victory was
the fourth straight for the Blue and
White. without n loss to mar its slate.

N. Y. U.sFIVE DEFEATS
SYRACUSE, 36 TO 19
Cp-Staters ProUe Easy for
Violet Quintet.

New York University's basketball
team last night defeated the Syracuse
University quintet on the local col
legians court by 36 to 49, The Violet
outplayed the up-Staters from the start
and had seven point advantage at the
close Of the first half. The score = this
stage of the contest was Is 70 ia.
The Violet went into thu lame after
layoff of several weeks. but gave no
signs OF lack of preparedness. Since
defeating the Yale quintet before the
Christmas holidays Coach Thorp had
been driving his team steadily. with the
result that harmony was more in evil
dence In the Violet teams play than in
its first contest of the year, when II
met Yale.
Both Syracuse and New York Uni
versity had defeated the Yale team this
season by approximately the same
scores. so that. judging by comparative
results. the teams were evenly matched.
TIE Syracuse quintet was an almost
veteran aggregation of star payers,
having lost only Capt Barsha from last
years successful combination. The last
time that Syracuse played the Violet
was back In 1918, when the up-Staters
brought to New York the strongest
court team that has represented Syra-
cuse in ten years. The Heights five sue
cumbed an easy victim then, and later
in the season suffered another defeat at
Syracuse. The lineup:

Precious SCOT.

BY recovering gold and other pre-

scraped from the chimney of an assay

cent is made on the cost of cleaning.
To this factory manufacturing jew

In the process scraps of the valua-
BILE refuse are carried off In the smoke

the minute particles Of gold and plati-

Even the clothes Of the steeplejacks

BELIEFS OF THE PEASANTS
Odd Christmas Superstitions Handed
Down From Past Ages to the
Ignorant Europeans.

80 HE peaSantry of Europe
Mg6S have had certain Christmas
superstitions handed down
\.<I to them from past ages.
Just how far these simple
folk can be fooled is to be wondered.
If the light is let go out on Christ
mas morning, you will see spirits.
If you are born at sermon time
Christmas eve, some one in the house
will die within the year.
If you steal hay the night before
Christmas, and give the cattle some,
they will thrive and you will not be
caught in any future thefts.
If you eat raw egg, fasting on
Christmas morn, you can carry heavy
weights, 1t is unlucky to carry any
thing from the house on Christmas
brought in.
1t is unlucky to give neighbor a
live coal to kindle fire with on
Christmas morning.
If the fire burns brightly on Christ
mas morning, it betokens prosperity
during the year; if it smolders, ad-
versity.
If dog bowls the night before
Christmas, it will go mad within the
year.
If you steal anything at Christmas
without being caught, you can steal
safely for a year.
On Christmas eve thrash the gar
den with a fail, with only your shirt
on, and the grass will grow well next
year.
Tie wet strawbands around the or
chard trees on Christmas eve and it
will make them fruitful.
On Christmas eve put a stone on
every tree, and they will bear the
more.
Beat the trees on Christmas night,
and they will bear the more.
If after a Christmas dinner you
shake out the tablecloth over the bare
ground under the open sky, crumb-
wort will grow on the spot.
If on Christmas day or eve, you
hang a washcloth out on the hedge,
and then groom the horses with it,
they will grow fat.
AS often as the cock crows on
Christmas eve, the quarter of corn
will be as dear
If you burn elder on Christmas eve,
you will have revealed to you all the
witches and sorcerers of the neighbor.
