NOTHING In CHARGE
AGAINST LAKELAND
BASKET BALL TEAM
Leesburg Raised No Objection
Until Defeat Appeared Ger
tain, Then Stopped

The people OF Lakeland who noticed
the open letter written by Prof. S. A.
Draper of Leesburg High School, pub
lished in yesterdays Telegram, in
regard to the basket ball game played
between Lakeland and Leesburg High,
would probably like am account of the
game as others saw it, Tho sporting
editor of this paper also acted as ref
cree in the above mentioned game
and so he is more than interested to
have the people of Lakeland know the
truth about the contest instead of a
biased opinion.
There is no need at this time to
discuss any phases Of Professor ORA
per's charge except the game itself,
as eligibility is a matter for high
school authorities themselves to set
tie. The charge that should be of
concern to all the people of Lakeland
is that their high school basket ball
team has been accused of using I'M
sportsmanlike conduct towards a Wis
iting team.
1t must be remembered that an out
door court is different from an indoor
court. In addition to this the night
air was cold and snappy, which added
pep and vigor to- the playing. Taking
these points into consideration the
game was hard fought, and the ref
cree cautioned both sides between
halves not to be over-anXious. But
as for Professor Diapers charges Of
promiscous cursing and fighting and
other unsportsmanlike conduct during
the contest, this was untrue in so
much as it was perceived by the ref
cree and umpire, or the offenders
would have been disqualified.
The Tampa Tribune takes the cor
rect attitude toward this contest when
they said: THE Leesburg team should
have played out the game and then, if
they felt the case warranted action,
filed a protest
In quoting from Professor Diapers
letter of yesterday, he said: 81
should have called the game before
that, but we had your team bested
winded and beaten, and thought that

the Thanksgiving holidays.

as long as possibly could, would let
it go on"
This statement seems to show an
unsportsmanlike attitude on the part
of the Leesburg man, as he was more
than willing to see a contest that he
deemed unfair to continue, as long
as his charges were winning. How
ever, he was misinformed as to which
team was in the lead, as the official
scorer states that Leesburg was new
er once during the contest ahead of
the local team, and the official timer
states that there were only three min
utes left to play when the game was
forfeited.
Rule 9, section 4, states, ANY team
refusing to play after receiving in
structions to do so from the referee.
shall forfeit the game In all athletic
contests the refusal to play or abide
by the referees decision is the worst
offense. Capt. Rogers of Leesburg is
a very sportsmanlike youngster and
wished to continue the game, offering
10 complaint, and thus was forced to
take his team off the court against
his own wishes.
The practice of taking a team from
the field should not be allowed, once
the contest has been started.

Probably Overloaded.

South Bend, Ind, March 27.-Eight
persuasive boy scouts, a scout ex-
ecutive and two scoutmasters-we
drowned in Magician lake, about ten
miles northwest of Dowagiac, Mich,
when steel motorboat which they
occupied foun1ered in the rough wa
tiers of the lake The persons drowned

Bodies Are Recovered.
The bodies were recovered. Coast
guard crews from ST. Joseph and Ben
ton Harbor worked with South Bend
police with graphing hooks.
AS each body was taken ashore
from. motorboats of the rescue crews
it was scrutinized by mothers, ia
theirs, sisters, brothers and other rela-
tives, who had camped along the lake
shore through the night, waiting for
the lake to calm so rescue could be-
gin.
Stories of the tragedy told at South
Bend revealed that the boy scouts
oath ito help other people at all
tines was faithfully followed.
Only Sixty Rods From Shore.
The fatality took place 60 rods from
the shore after the party had left for
an island in the center of the lake, on
which the boy scouts were establish
ing new camp for the summer.
Several trips had been made to the
island earlier in the day, and on the
last trip there were eight persons
aboard. The coroner of Dowagiac
gave it as his opinion that the boat
was overloaded.
Scout Executive Taylor and his lit
tie son were the last to go down. Fifty
1eet of water separated them from
rescue by w. G. Harper, who had
driven one of the automobiles in
which the scouts made the trip to the
lake from South Bend.
Assistance Comes Too Late.
From the shore he saw the boat go
down on an even keel, and saw the
party f1ounderfng in the water. He
procured leaky rowboat and pulled
frantically against the rough waters
to the scene, only to arrive too late.
There were 16 in the party from
South Bend and eight have been ac-
counted for. The party left boy scout
headquarters in South Bend early in
the morning to prepare the camp site
for the boys who were to use it dur
ing the summer.
