FAVORS PLAN
TO ENCOURAGE
PASSING BALL
Mgr. Desautels Suggests
assist" for Players
Who Passes

In letter received Wcdnc5-
day, Manager Edmond Dcsautels
offers a new suggestion for the
scoring of basketball games. He
fayors the scoring of assists, to
credit the player who passes to
the one who shoots successfully.
According to this suggestion the
man who passes receives an as
-ist, provided the one who receives
the pass, tallies. Manager Dcsau-
tells ideas are well worth consid-
cring.
Having the upliftment of the
game in New England at heart, |
respectfully advance the following
three suggestions, and earnestly
hope that you may agree with all
OF the three suggestions, or at
least concur with one or
two of them, and trust that you
may see fit to try them out on
your nome court:
1 Score "Assists". (Thc last
pass previous to a field goaD This
to encourage passing and to give
credit as much as possible in the
papers to those players who dig
OUT the bail as we'll as to those
who shoot baskets. A man must
sit beside the scorer to help to
see ali the details. Then t is easy
TO score everything correctly.
2 A foul to count one point for
the other team, unless the player
who committed the foul can free
his team from that penalty by
-hooting the goal from the foul
line, in which case it would count
nothing fog either side. If he
misses, it counts one point for the
other team. BY thus making the
penalty severe for fouling, it will
tend TO reduce fouling to the very
minimum. This may sound intri-
cate, but it is not anywhere near
as complicated as scoring d base
bail gamc. There is TO fast action
in this.
3 To enforce strictly the rule
which say, that a man should
Jump with one hand behind his
back, or Il little behind his side
at least. This would prevent climb
ms on knees Of opponent, press
ing down on his shoulders while
jumping, and also do away with
straight arms to the face. etc.
OF course, it goes without say
ing that the periods should always
be two "twenties". That all
courts should be equipped with

the jury tonight. Flnal arguments
were made today.
Attorney John P. Feeney, coun-
sci for Loud, attacked the testi-
mony of witnesses who described
the automobile seen on Lowell
street near the scene of the muir
der as having been similar to a
closed car owned by Loud. He
mentioned also testimony by state
witnesses that they saw the num-
erals 900" on the license plate of
the machine and urged the jurors
to note that at least on ewltness
did not recall having seen the mum
bers the day after the murder, but
thought he did months afterwards
when he testified at the trial.
He declared consideration of the
note book found on Preston, IN
which the names of Loud and Miss
bennett were written, was most
important but that the jurors
must remember that police officers
like other people were subject to
the frailties of mankind.

President Marshall
Tells of His College

Academy students and other
friends were privileged to hear
Tuesday morning of the attrac-
tons of Connecticut College at
New London, Conn, by. the pres
ident of the institution, Dr.. b. I.
Marshall. The lat+or is a gradu-
ate of St. Johnsburv Academy and
was warmly received bv his audi
opce. He gave his address in the
Please-U theater as he closed with
several reels of pictures which
showed the students of this splcn-
did institution at work and 1t
play.
Previous to the exhibition of the
photographs and reels DR., Mar
Shall gave d most interesting ac
kount of what the college was try
ing to accomplish and of some OF
its unique features IN its policies
and curriculum. He paid a high
tribute to the work of women, cs-
pecially in the war wnere, he dc
clarcd, the women of France and
England, took up mems work and
did it better than their predeces-
sors. He spoke of the success of
the graduates of his college in
businss and how they also led all
the colleges OF the country in their
gifts per capita in the various war
drives. Though only seven years
old this college has tho largest
rumber of students, nearly 400, in
the seventh year of its existence
of any college in America. With
a faculty of AZ there was splen-
did chance for the most helpful
relations between teacher and u
pil and the latter were a selfgov-
erning body and the honor system
Arevailrd. In closing he expires )
4 the hope that some graduates
Of the Academy might find their
way there where representatives
from Il states and one foreign
country were getting a libral edu-
cation.

ed that the funeral ceremony

dinals, members of the diplomatic
corps and representatives of Ro-

morning it had been left indefinite
whether the burial would occur
today or tomorrow.

CLAREMONT
RETURNS FOR
SECOND GAME,
Engage Referee P. ].
kenney of Hanover to
Boss Game Friday

The basket ball fans are treated
to but a single game this week.
That one game, :.owever, is going
to be one that everyone will want
to see. Friday evening, the Clare-
mont quintet, the only five that
has been able to take the measure
of the locals in their own baili-
wick, will hold fourth. One of the
snappiest, most interesting con-
tests of the present season is con-
tidently expected.
Although Coach "Chick" Burch
has been i'll with a cold for a few
days, his physician believes that
he will be able to participate IN
the big game Friday night.
"Chick" will want to be on the
job, because it is due, in a LARGE
measure 10 his mastery and con-
troll of the game that his prote-
gees are enabled to come out on
the top of the heap. Mentor
Burck serves as sort of stabilizer
of his basket tossers.
All the other basketeers are in
the best of condition. With plenty
of practice practically every night
this week, the American Legion
Company D quintet ought to be
all primcd for the big game Fri
day night. No stone will be left
unturned by the locals to send the
invaders away on the brief end of
the score. Legion-Company d
must win in order to erase partial
ly its only defeat thus far.
Fans well remember the Clare
mont game played here a week
ago. The final score was 26 to
%, with the locals fiohting back
the visitors every inch of the way.
In the initial period, Claremont
swept St. Johnsbury off its feet by
the ferocity of its attack, but the
domestics came back gamely in the
following sessions.
The game will begin sharply at
$50 and will be supervised, refer
