JUNIOR SCHOOL ORCHES-
IRA GIVES PROGRAM

Last Friday afternoon, May 26th,
at four o'clock, the Junior School Or
chestra, consisting of the eighth
grade pupils and those younger,
gave an entertaining musical program.
The children did very creditably,
showing the result of the years
work among the junior students,
under the instruction of Prof. s. w.
Mckinley and Miss Alpha Sigfrid.
The majority Of these pupils were
beginners last fall, and are now far
enough advanced so that a number of
them will be accepted in the Normal
High School band and orchestra next
year. Following is the program CIV

LACK OF SPACE
FOR ATHLETICS

Every Student Can't

New York, Jan. 28.-Coach Bill
Roper's action in sending out let
tiers to something like 500 mem
bers of Princeton university urg-
ing them to turn out as candidates
for the football team, brings up a
point that the writer has stressed
before, that is, the lack Of facili-
ties for field room.
It is regarded as quite the popu-
lar thing to say that every man at
tending a college should be pre-
vailed upon to come out and take
part in athletic sports. 1t is easy
enough to write Csl this subject but
it is one thing TO win the plaudits
Of the average reader by advocating
general participation in athletics
and it is quite another thing To
produce a constructive policy.
Suppose that the two or three
thousand men in a university
should respond to the invitation to
try for the baseball team and turn
out on the opening days of spring
practice. One can gather some pic
ture of what would happen when
it is considered that only IS men
can take part in a baseball game
at the same time
What is true in baseball is true
in football. In fact it is true in
practically all college sports. One
partial solution might be to keep
the athletic plant in operation at
all hours of the day by changing
the college curriculum so that in
stead of having the fields empty
during three-ffths of the day they
could be filled by different sets of
men who could each get an hour
or two. Such a thing would re
quire considerable planning and
many alterations in the curricu-

New York, Jan. 2S.-Thus early
in the intercollegiate hockey sea-
son it is clear that the sport of
puck chasing will go on record as
the greatest that American colleges
have known and that it will exert
a marked influence on the future.
Hockey has been pretty much of IN
in and out game among the the
athletes of our educational insti-
buttons. There have been years
when it was popular and years
when little interest in the game
was displayed.
But now the success of the arena
in New Haven gives assurance that
Yale men will have a home rink
upon which to develop proficiency.
The Yale-Princeton game, won by
the Ellis, to 3, at New Haven, at
tracted a capacity crowd that was
thrilled and interested as ever they
have been at gridiron contests in
the Yale bowl. Harvard has al
ways been fortunate in the matter
of Kinks and for this reason, no
doubt, the sport is on a better foot
ing at Cambridge than anywhere
else.
In this respect, Princeton will
shortly be in position to match
the Crimson. Due to the generos-
ity of the parents of a prominent
Princeton man, Nassau has an in
door rink in process of construc-
ton. A covered skating surface
with artificial ice plant, will soon
be ready for use. The fund now
being collected in the interest of
this rink, the H. A. H. Baker memo
rial, will be employed in erecting
about the rink a structure done in
the prevailing Gothic of the uni
versity buildings to stand as a
memorial to the greatest hockey
player this country has produced,
a great athlete, patriot and gentle
man.
Princeton, Yale and Harvard have
always led in hockey and this sea-
exception, although Cornell's form
in recent games on Beebe lake in
Ithaca indicate that the Red and
White may figure importantly be-
fore the season is over while the
pennsylvania seven, perhaps the
best the Quaker institution has de-
veloped, has broken even with the
Ellis and made an excellent show
ing against Princeton.
Columbia, sporadic hockey
playing college, is also in the field
this season and under the coaching
of Tom Howard, is showing vastly
improved form over that displayed
against Yale, which the Morning
side players lost by one-sided
score.
The Columbians have a home
rink in the ice palace in New FORK,
but because of the comparatively
small surface here tine team, which
is composed of players developed
last season, has TO 60 visiting for
games -.----L-

Without a good infeld ball club
hasn't much chance to get any
where.
Most essential to a good infield
is a shortstop and second baseman.
The Detroit team had trouble
with those two spots last year, AMI
as a result the Tigers didn't do
very well.
All of which leads US up to the
question as to which club in the
major leagues has the best in
field defense.
The addition of Heine Groh to the
New York Giants just about brings
that honor to McGraw's aggrega-
ton
The coming of Groh gives Nc

in the National League. Since
both of them cannot be used at that
position, McGraw will be forced 70

1t was said by most football ex-

that Zuppke plans an exceptionally

him an opportunity to select his

play most of the season before
picking the best men for the Jobs as
was the case this last season.
Injuries began early last spring
and took a heavy toll, continuing
to such great extent this fall that
some suspected the "Zuppke way"
was too strenuous in the early sea-
son and that the men weaken
rather than harden, or become
more susceptible to injuries. How
ever, starting at this early date
may prove an interesting expert

Cornell and West Point have the
advantage of location in regions
where natural ice can be depended
upon throughout the winter and at
all these institutions intercollegiate
hockey is f1ourishing this season as
never before.
Through an agreement among
the hockey playing colleges six
men instead of seven are being used
this season. This makes not only
a faster game, but is a benefit TO
the smaller colleges where mate
rial is comparatively scarce
AS the intercollegiate situation
stands now, Yale and Princeton are
very evenly matched and there is
no telling how the second game
between the two old rivals will
come out But Harvard, with the
usual supply of sophomore mate

TERRIFIC PACE

Contest Is Marked By Close Guard
ing Of Both Teams-Hemphill
Stars.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Upsetting all dope, Moline high
school whirled around and defeat
ed the Rock Island tossers, IA to D,
last night at the Augustana gym.
The game went an extra session
after a tie score, 8 to 8, at the end
of the regular time and in the adj
ditiona1 five minutes the Swedes
piled up six points to the islanders
one.
The game was fiercely fought
throughout, not a single point be-
ing made in the first quarter. The
first half ended in the islanders
favor, to 1, and it looked as If
the home lads had slight edge on
the heavier team. After the Plows
tied the score with a field basket
the Crimson and Gold kept in the
lead until the score stood Z to 5,
and from this point the two teams
see-sawed bach and forth by a
point at time.
AS far as floor playing was con-
cerned both teams played on an
equal basis. The five man defense
was put into use by both squads.
Long shots were in order almost the
entire game and short shots were
frequent because of the tight
guarding of Alvine and Schmidt,
Rock Island and Moline back
guards
Edwards did not play his usual
game being unable to gauge the
basket. He made one basket and
added two more points by free
throws. Knanishu was the point
maker for the Islanders, bagging
two field goals. Shelter played an
excellent defensive game and made
one foul throw. The lads played a
hot. floor game and put good team
work into play, but were very weak
on the point-making end. Alvine
played a steady and tight game at
standing guard.
Hemphill was the menace for the
Islanders. He scored three baskets
and he, with Toline, piled up the
points after the time of the regu-
lar game. The Maroon and White
walked away in the extra five min
utes with three field goals. Hemp

ILLINOIS Gets
SET FOR PURDUE
Coach Winters Drilling Cage Men in
Hopes of Upsetting the
Dope Bucket.

Urbana, Ill, Jan. 2S.-The Uni
versity of Illinois basketball squad,
winner of five practice tits and the
Ohio State and Michigan confer
ence games, is taking some strenu-
GUS seasoning from Coach Frank
Winters in preparation for the Chi
cago game at Bartlett gymnasium,
Feb. 4, but most of all, for the Pur-
due tilt here Feb. Z.
The Boilermakers are considered
the best quintet in the conference,
while Wisconsin and Illinois are
generally admitted as close Sec
onds, but in basketball the dope
is easily spilled, and the Illini are
making ready for the Purdue tilt,
which will go a long ways in de-
termining the final outcome of the
Big Ten race.

BROWNS STAND
CHANCE TO Win
REMNANT
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Jan. 2S.-If the ST
Louis Americans can show as much
batting strength at the beginning Of
the season Of 1922 as they pos
sessed at the finish of 1921, and il
they can get a good start as OPP
posed to the horrible start that they
made last year, there is no team
that has a better chance to keep
the New York Americans from re-
peating.
The collective batting strength OF
the St. Louis Differs is greater than
that of either of the New York
clubs and both Of them were cham
pionShip organizations. The
Browns batting strength centers
in its outfeId and on its first base
men, which is of much benefit Il
the club because it means that the
good batters are in every game.
Where teams must depend upon
catchers for batting they are often
handicapped because the catchers
cannot play continuously.
Had SiSler hit up to his speed of
1920 last year, st. Louis would have
almost been the leader of the
American league in batting. Cleve-
land finished just ahead of st. Louis
and Detroit quite a distance ahead
of Cleveland For Detroit it must
be recalled that it possessed two
super-batters in Heilman and Cobb.
Their work alone would keep any
club high in the percentage table.
In all the history of baseball the
St. Louis outfield of 1921 will stand
forth as a trio without a parallel
so far as uniformity is concerned.
Their men finished the season
punched liked three fingers on ones
hand. Two Of them batted exactly
alike, Tobin and Jacobson, and the
third was within four points of
them so that they stand in the bat
ting averages in one, two three
order and it will take many an
hours research to discover any
thing similar to that. How many
would have Wagered before the
year began that the three is. Louis
outtielders would almost lead their
league as batting outfielders and
that they would finish, almost tied
individually and playing practically
all of the season. 1t is one of the
most remarkable instances of con-
slstency on record.

Looks as though Carpenter. tss,.
ing once more the glory that comes
of victory, is going TO have a Ions
feast at the expense of EuropeaS
box fighters and take no risk N
losing laurelS as a meeting With
Gibbons would involve. Harry Dime
sent word today from London thar
he has not heard a peep either from
DesCampes, Carpenter or Paris or
English sporting writers about 4
Tommy Gibbons match. In fac
the average boxing fan abroad
wouldn't have the slightest idea
who the St Paul fash is even were
he to be mentioned in connection
with golden Georges.
II is figured that Gibbons would
stand at least an even chance OF
beating Carpenter. CARPENTER
probably figures it this way him
self For he knows that Tommy is
far more skillful as u boxer than
he is and might be able to keep his
chin out of the way of the French
mans right. In that event it would
be good betting that the American
would cut him down. Anyway need
of money makes most champions
risk their titles and Carpenter has
plenty of the needful So perhaps
he feels it in his lay to keep the
fires of his fame brightly burning by
beating up the near fighters he can
meet in Europe and let Gibbons,
Gene Tunney and their like severely
alone.
OF course either Gibbons, TunnsE
Greb, Bob Martin and the rest could
go abroad and try to hound Georges
into a battle. Probably Martin and
Greb would not have TO do much
bounding, nor Tunney either-Tun-
ney being a lad who is coming all
the time, but hasn't come iG
enough as yet But no matter what
brand of bounding Gibbons might
put up abroad he would fare no bet
ter in getting a fight than did Frank
Moran, if Carpenter didn't wish to
meet him. You see the bounding is
all in EQglish-and Carpenua
doesn't understand English; so be
says. Anyway, if the FTenchman
were willing to meet Gibbons a!
all, he would meet him in America,
where the big money is If Gibbons
is really serious about the prOpO-
sitiOn that be go abroad he had bet
