THE EAGLE ROCK OIL CO.,
drilling near Baxter, seven miles east
of Pueblo. is getting Its ton inch cas-
ing down In a hurry, and 1t will only
be a few days now until drilling is
resumed. The well is now down 100
feet and the drill was in what -
known as the Carlile shale when 1t
stopped, and that would mean in the
Kansas oil field that oil would soon
be encourtered-in other words at
two hundred or three hundred more
feet the drillers would expect the bit
to sink into the oil bearing sand. and
that is exactly what is liable to oc-
cur at Eagle Rock Well No. I. OF
course this Is only a prospect. but 1t
is mighty good one and the drillers
in charge say 1t is the best indication
OF oil they have ever seen in any new
field. and they have drilled in most
OF them.

Y. M. c. A. workers. In the sea-
son of 1891 and 1892 there were
IS men there taking training
for Y. M. C. A. work who did
not care for the games and were
unwilling to take up the routine
of work in the gymnasium. Dr..
Gulick said to me, THAT group
of men who do not care for the
ordinary game need physical ex-
ercise. Why don't you invent a
game that they will take an in
terest in? Try to get up some
game that will give them the
exercise and at the same time
will keep them interested" Be-
ing a football enthusiast myself,
I thought I would see II I could
invent a game Of indoor Rugby
football. realized of course
that Rugby football would be
too rough for indoor work SO I
decided to eliminate the rough
features such as tackling. The
only reason a man is tackled Is
to down him when he is carrying
the ball. decided IL l could
have the ball thrown in place
of being carried that would cut
out a good deal of the roughness
of the game.
The next question was how to
make a goal. I decided to do a
little experimenting so. l fastened
two half-bushel peach baskets
at opposite ends of the gallery
out and wrote 10 rules for my
new game which I called Indoor
Rugby. When my 10 men lined
up before me I read the rules
to them. divided the classes into
two sides of nine men each, tos-
sed the ball to the center and
refereed the first game of basket
ball ever played. Mahan, Archi-
