WILL NOT OPERATE
Interstate Basketball League Falls Through, On Account of Several Teams Deciding Not to Enter.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 9.-The h. terstate Basketball league will not operate this season. Lack of enough clubs to make a well-rounded circuit was given as the cause of the deci- sion to abandon the league by Presi- dent James c. Keefe. The decision was made at a meeting in the Cooley hotel last night.
 Springfield, Turner's Falls. East hampton and Holyoke will operate in dependent clubs. Representatives from these clubs attended the meet ing. It is planned to open this in- dependent season not later than Thanksgiving.
 The four clubs which attended the meeting were anxious to go through with league. Ware and Thompson vile were thought to be in line but President Keefe received letter from the War Athletic association to the effect that it would have nothing to do with the indoor sport. Thompson vile basketball fans were apparently uninterested in the project.
 With but four clubs in line those present expressed the opinion that the circuit would be too small and that the clubs would visit each other too often for the good of the game.
 The decision to abandon the sport this season, says President Keefe, does not mean that the league will not pc revived in 1923-24.

'GORMAN MAY NOT
 PILOT PRINCETON
Clever Little Player Has Not Re
 covered From Injuries as Yet

Princeton, N. d.. Nov. 9.---Another day Of hard work in preparation for marked out for the Princeton varsity yesterday. Following close upon the heels of Tuesdays two-hour scrim- charges through the mill. From lunch time until dusk the Orange and Black gridmen were on ,he field, and at the end the coaches seemed satisfied Wingate was again at the helm of the varsity, as German has not yet re- turned to the lineup.
 As the day for the clash with Har- vard draws nearer it appears that Germans injuries, sustained fn the Chicago game, may debar him from participation at Cambridge, although Roper would not say so. 1t seems to be the consensus of opinion that AVin- gate will start at quarterback. Cor man seems to be improved and has been out on the field in football togs all this week. However, 1t is thought that he will not start against the Crimson. He has not engaged even in the signal drills this week, and Win-s gate has piloted the team in every formation.
 Jones Makes Changes
 New Haven, Nov. 9.--Tad Jones's reorganization of the Yale eleven for the Maryland State. gridiron game of next Saturday was indicated yester- day by the placing of Monty Deaver at right end, the return Of Jack Diller to right tackle, and the installation of I ot Iaft r. aair 1p was the selection for right end in the final games of last season. Tony Hull man had the edge over the former Hill School star until fortnight ago, when the close following of the ball by Deaver saving several varsity fum- bles, placed him on even terms with the former Worcester Academy play CT.
 Deaver has been selected for a final try-out nexs Saturday. He and Hull man were both used yesterday after noen Diller, who played right tackle all last fall, was crowded to the side lines by Miller three weeks ago. Dill ler's game against Iowa was weak in tackling and defensive technique. But Diller seems to have overcome his most glaring faults, and will get am other opportunity when Yale meets Maryland.
 Field in Poor Shape
 Cambridge, Nov 9. - Unless the weather changes completely and crisp cold follows three days of rain, the Stadium football field will be in very poor condition for Hatvard's game with the Tigers Saturday. The turf has been worn down badly, so steady has been the practice by the big Crimson squad, and the gridiron is bare for the length of the field, and for about half the width.
 Straw is ready to be placed on the field in event of frost, but only wind and sun can provide the teams with anything like good conditions for their game As things look now. the largest of mud cIeats will be In order Sat llrday
 Notwithstanding the bad going yes- .erday the varsity coaches staged one of the longest drills of the season, possibly the last practice before the game except for signal work. Percy Leo 'Leary Dumpy Watson md Bill Robinson were out to follow the days work The first team, be- sides bunting in long session on it's own plays. also was sent in against Inc scrubs for long defensive work put against Princeton plays.

 Princeton must stop Owen if the Tigers are to have much of chance. Owen is dangerous any time his team gets inside of the opposition's 4o-yard line. He is capable of gain ing that much distance in half dozen plays.

 There you have the opinion of Coach Bill Roper, the man who is directing the destinies of the Prince ton squad. He doesn't predict victory, but between the lines it is easy to see that he has hopes If his team plays the aerial game as sue cessfuly as it did against Chicago.

OUTING PUTS PEP INTO
ELEVEN YEAR OLD BOYS

The problem of keeping boys in
terested in Sunday school seems TO
have a practical solution in keeping
them on the go, giving them all the
outdoor sports they need, as is
proven in the fact that a class of
eleven year old boys, after having
spent Saturday evening and night
on a fishing trip 90 the canyon, all
showed up al the class room SUM-
day morning. All were very at
tentive to what was said, and had
studied their lesson.
The boys and teacher are indebt-
ed to Mrs. c. +. Hunt and W. X.
Dickinson for having used their cars
in getting TO the camp grounds.
where a delicious supper Of fried
potatoes, sandwiches and other good
eats was enjoyed.
After supper the boys took up
their beds and walked" TO the Tum-
Bile n pool where they enjoyed a
swim, and from there TO a large
pasture, where their beds were
spread and at five o'clock Sunday
morning they started 70 town.
The bunch seemed a little sleepy
in the class room, but as the rule
had been unanimously adopted that
any boy who failed to be at the
class room on that morning would
be deprived Of the privilege Of go
ing on the next outing.
Boys are boys, just as full Of pep
and activity as can be wrapped into
their bodies. and there is no need
of trying to curb them, just give
them plenty of wholesome, well di-
rected outings and they will take
care of themselves.
The boys who went on this out
ing are in the Junior department of
the Methodist Sunday School, and
are planning on making theirs one
Of the largest classes in the school.
II your boy is eleven years old
we want him in that OF some other
Sunday School in town. and offer
plenty Of work and play TO keep him
interested.
