COLUMBIA PLAYER
 LEADS IN SCORING
Sam StrOm Is Out in Front in
 Intercollegiate League

New York. Jan, lS,-Wilh the frs week Of the Intercollegiate hasketaal league ever, sam atrom, the celnm bic forward, playing his first year el the varsity, Is leading the indiVidna scores and Hill zahn's Princeton iean is resting on the teP of the tsaH standing,
 Although stFem has had the ad vantage af an extra game over snei rivals as Tommy Cullen, the Dart mouth captain and forward, and Jim mic Luther. eornelrs leader and cen ter, he leads Art Loeb, the Princeton guard and foul shooter who last yeal was the runner up to Iiili Grave o' Pennsylvania. the highest individual scorer for 1898, glrom has collected :. points, the result of six field goals and .0 goals from the foul line, In the Columbia Princeton game on Tuesday night at Princeton he made twelve points. one more than Loeb Saturday evening against Cornell in the Columbia gymnasium the Blue and White candidate for the seasons honors made twenty of his teant twenty-two points.
 Tommy Cullen Of Dartmouth and Mel Dickenson. Princeton's football leader and substitute for Tiny Gaines at center. are tied for third place with sixteen points. The Dart, mouth captain. former Poly Prep, player placed third in last years race. His points como from twelve fou goals made against Princeton Satur day night and two goals from tho floor Dickinson, with eight goal. from scrimmage, gives promise surpassing his teamrcte. Johnn! klaess last years leading field goa scorer, Jimmie Luther follows Dick enson and Cullen with 13 points. He appears to he the most likely four shooter in the league.
 Tigers Not So Strong
 The Alexander Trophy is resting on none too firm a pedestal at Prince ton. The Tigers have won their frst two games. defeating Columbia by a score of 35 to 21 on Tuesday and Dartmouth Saturday in close strug. gle by score of 25 to 24. But both victories brought out signs of weak nesses. The team work and the pas sing were mediocre, and unless the Orange and Black takes turn to the better by Saturday evening Pennsy- vania may change the future of the league championship. The two rivais meet in Weiehman Hall at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania in tho biggest game of the early season campaign
 Dartmouth is not discouraged by it's 1-point defeat. George Zahn has excellent material and an effective offensive, which may tell a different story in. the next Princeton game, to be played at Hanover
 Cornell, following it's victory over Columbia, is loo.singto the sky. Four veterans-Luther. Weddell, Crabtree and Catpron--full of fight and mould ed into good team with Stone, q new man thrown into the outfit, and Luth- CT. the most promising foul shooter in the league since the days of Danny McNichol Of Penn, from the basis of the Ithacan optimism.
 Howard Ortner's men will put Yale in the hands of new coach-Joc Fogarty from Philadelphia = to test this Friday night at New Haven.

Illuminating Wife,"
Whether "a wife may be considered
an "inycstmcnt" or not. she certainly
Is his most priceless possession. II
che Ia good woman.
A few men overlook this fact In
their selfshncss. only to learn OF her
true value when Il Is too late.
II Il were not for the uplifting IN
i,uence OF the women OF this world,
life would not be worth living to any
self respecting man. II Ia through
the love OF women mainly that men
are able TO acquire and retain the In
sDlration necessary TO battle tho
forces OF evil that arc continual,
attempting the destruction OF moral
ity aud common decency.
The influence OF the church does
much along these lines. but even that
influence In due IN great measure
TO the eiforts OF pure womanhood.
