OLD FRIENDS
BY Walt Mason

Old friends drop in from time to
time, and to stale histories give
tongue, and talk about the far-off cline
wherein we dwelled when we were
young. II always shocks me when
meet some friend / knew in days gone
by, who used to walk on buoyant feet,
and who was eager, strong and spry
For we remember old time friends as
we last saw them, years ago, forget
ting how times passage lends to
ruddy locks the sheen of snow. Just
Yesterday James Foster Prigg came
feebly hobbling to my lair; once he
was strong and bold and big, and fit
to whip a grizzly bear. And he ex-
celled in manly games, untired he

always thought of James, the hero
of my younger days. And now he's
bent and weak and i'll, his voice a
cackle, shrill and drear, and when he

second gear. l showed amazement

Of yore? Great Scott" he cried, can

memories that slept, and dragged
them forth at bitter cost; and as we
talkel we sighed and wept, each found
the other such a frost.

new RULES FOR
DRAFT OFFERED
Advisory Board Prepares to Sub
NIT Proposals to Non-Con-
forInist Leagues.

New York, Dec. 19.-Follow1ng a
conference between the advisory
council of the major leagues and
representative of the minors here
Saturday, proposals were prepared
for a revision of the draft rules.
Baseball Commissioner Lands was
| instructed to present the propos-
ais to those minor leagues which
at the present time do not recog-
nize the draft. The conference was
attended by Judge Lands Presi-
dent Heydler of the National
league, Johnson of the American,
Sexton of the National Association
of Minors, besides Secretary Far
rell of the latter body.
At the close of the meeting the
following official statement was
made:
The question has arisen what to
do about the draft It is a princi-
pie of baseball that the player
must advance in his profession ac-
cording to his skill. To secure to
him and to the game this result,
the draft rule was devised.
Since the baseball reorganiZa-
ton of one year ago, certain leagues
have declined to subscribe to the
draft. These leagues are the Amer
lean association, New International.
Pacific Coast, Western and Three
Eye.
The National and American
leagues have authorized the COM
missioner to present to the leagues
mentioned above as following as a
fair basis for the settlement of this
grave question:
81. One player of each IA or A
club shall be eligible to selection
or draft after the close of its sea-
son each year, the selecting club to
pay in cash upon exercising the
right the sum of $4,000 to the AA
club or 81 600 to the A club.
2. In the event any selected
player is released by major
league club within one year of his
selection the clubs of the AA and
A leagues shall first have the right
to secure his services upon paying
to the releasing club one-half of
the draft price paid by that club.
THE commissioner has a deep
conviction that this is in harmony
with the principle now subscribed
to by the major and all minor
leagues, and always to be borne in
mind the players right and well
fare of the game require that his
services shall be available to clubs
of the very highest classification"

Augustana college basketball
quintet succeeded in downing Par
sons Saturday night, IS to "a, liz
the first home game of the season
for the Lutflerans. The Parsons
Aggregation put a scare in the
Augie followers by keeping Swed-
berg's men to three point margin
at the end of the first half, the
score standing 16 to 13 for the
Lutherans, and added to this I'M
easiness in the second period by
going ahead by one point in the
first few minutes of play. This
lead was kept only a few minutes,
however, for a squirt by the Angus
tana five gave them a comfortable
margin, which they kept until the
final whistle.
Gus Anderson, pivot man for the
Rock Island school, made IL points
of the 20 garnered by the Swedes,
collecting six field baskets and
throwing five free throws out of
nine chances. RosencranZ, fresh
man-at Augie, was put into the con-
test in the second period and was
largely responsible for the scoring
during that period. sinking in four
field baskets in as many minutes
WaIly Swanson collected three field
goals, and Lundeen dropped in two.
The basket eye of the team as a
whole. however, was not up to
standard The Augustana quintet
had little trouble in working the
leather under Parsons basket for
short shots, but time and again the
ball would circle around the ring
only to drop out The passing of
the Lutherans showed a great i'm
provement over that displayed
against Iowa.
Swedberg used two teams against
Parsons in trying to find men for
his team The four letter man COM
bination, namely, Lundin at right
forward, Swanson at the other for
ward, Andreen, center, and Ryd-
holm at running guard, with Ogden
johnson at standing guard seem
to be the best combination, al
though there is very little choice
between the first and second string
men. Anderson, Aronson, Dwyer
and RDsencranz are all men of
worth The transforming trips
which Swedberg will take during
the Christmas holidays will no
doubt bring out the logical men for
tho positions
