OF course, intramural sports are not
confined to the closed season, but II Ia
at this time when the stress and furore
OF the great outdoor campaign Is rele-
gated to the rear that the authorities
are able to give most Of their time and
attention to the cause OF sports for all.
Making Good Headway.
In the course of western trip. the
writer was greatly interested in the
progress that has been made in this
direction among the institutions Of the
big ten. At some places: notably Mich
igan, Ohio State and Illinois, headway
has been commensurate with the great
reputation which these institutions en-
Joy in intercollegiate sport.
Indeed. there seems but one more
step to take and that Is to follow the
other great eastern centers where in
trumural exercise Is compulsory. At
Michigan and elsewhere in the west
freshmen are compelled to take gymnas-
tics, but from sophomore year on their
participation in sport is purely volun-
tary.
1t is. thus. incumbent upon the in
tramural directors 1hat the sport sys-
tenn be made attractive. How we'll they
have succeeded in this at Michigan is
made evident by the fact that some five
thousand students out of total en-
rollment of $500 are participating
in the sixteen sports appearing on the
intramural program, while at Illinois
four hundred freshmen are now playing
basket ball, and that throughout the
student body there are now in existence
110 regularly organized basket ball nves.
One Man II in Control.
The great success Of the intramural
system among certain Of the big ten
institutions is due to the fact that they
are under the definite control Of one
man, an intramural director, whose
duties are confined strictly to the organ
izing and carrying on of non-varsity
sports. And the worst thing that may
be said of fraternities at some Of these
universities is that they have been fight
ing the plan OF giving sole authority to
these directors.
Ohio State and Michigan adopted the
one-man control in 1918 and Illinois

BILL CLARKE TO COACH
PRINCETON NINE AGAIN

PRINCETON, n. j., February 10
William ]. (Bi1D Clarke, the old Ori-
ole star and later a catcher on early
Washington American League teams,
has been re-engaged as coach Of this
years Princeton base ball team This
makes nearly twenty years that Bill
has taught the wearers of the orange
and black their base ball ropes, and
during this time he has turned out
some splendid teams, including cham
pionship aggregations. He arrived
in Princeton today and met Capt.
Jeffries and the candidates for the
team.
Princeton lost over half OF last
years team by graduation and starts
the season with a number of vacan-
cies TO be filled. The entire outfield
has graduated. while in the infield the
loss of Capt McPhee at second and OF
Gottschalk at third will be keenly
felt
Capt. Jeffries, one of the most versa
tile players ever in Princeton uni
form, can be called upon to play
where he is most needed. Last year
he played right field, pitcher and
catcher. Cooper and Berg, both SEN
iors. first base and shortstop re-
spect1Vely, are the infield veterans.
There are a number of promising
catchers available, one of whom
should be able to relieve Capt. JEFF
fries from that work and strengthen
the team correspondingly.

THE fve-man oman to man) de-
Tense. This is the simplest
form of the ive-man defense.
It is strictly a man-to-man game,
every player covering his own op-
ponent. There must, of course, be
cooperation in the matter of COW
tring teammates opponent, should
he get away.
In this type of defense, as soon as
your opponents gain the ball in
their defensive territory, your men
drop back and spread across the
center of the floor, each player To-
eating his opponent and moving
from one side of court to other in
order to keep directly in front of
him. But when you are in front of
your man take care to watch the
whole field Of play. He is a poor
defensive man who watches only
his opponent. The good one keeps
an eye on the ball as well and is
ever ready to intercept a pass.

Indoor Base Ball Popular.
Indoor base ball is everywhere pop
ular. but as the science of this game
has progressed there is a large and
growing demand among the confer

by SO doing the game would be a
much better one and would even
come TO stand 8 close rival to out
door base ball.
In speaking of the games selected
for intramural play. Elmer ID. Mitr
director at Michigan, pointed out
that choice is directed partly by stu
dent interest. but that over and above
this consideration care should be
taken to apply games that favor the
general aims of the intramural idea,
which include the uncovering Of var
sity material. social purposes. recrea-
ton and physical development. AS
to the last, intramural sport among
the conference institutions is not now
to be regarded as having attained the
dignity Of direct and comprehensive
physical education and cannot be un-
til the system is made compulsory
The aim. apparently. is to bring this

The engagement yesterday was not
as good in many respects as some OF
the games played here this season by
the larger teams. but II was a thrill
or all the way. The first half ended
18-all. About midway OF the second
half, the teams were deadlocked at
and increased their advantage contin-
ually to the finish.
Both quints were speedy. but it
seemed that every squirt of the Yanks
brought on greater squirt by their
opponents. The winners outscored the
present city champions from scrim-
mage and the foul line. Fifteen Le-
gion field goals were made against
the Yanks' twelve. Armstrong made
seven points with thirteen tosses
from the foul line for the victors,
while Heddens and Waxman between
them pocketed Ave of fourteen free
tosses for the Yanks.
Armstrong and Tabor. the Legion
forwards, played stellar floor games

total. The Yanks opened play with
