mas, when Hfne sextet bowed to the
superior Macfarland tossers, Hine
waited and primed itself for the re-
turn game, played last Tuesday And
Hine came back with 16-to-15
victory. Hine started briskly and
was well out in front most Of the way,
maintaining a 5-point lead at the end
of the first half and 6-point lead
at the end of the third quarter. Then
the Macfarland athletes turned the
tables on the home players and be-
came masters of the situation for a
while, but too late to more than throw
big scare into the Hine sextet The
Macfarland girls took their defeat as
one would expect a champion play
ground team of the best of sports to
do. With the exception of one girl.
! Macfarland was the unbeaten Iowa
avenue playground team. Clara AL
derton, Virginia Monk, Catherine
Jones, Priscilla Storey and Mildred

lineup. Mildred King. the other for
mer Iowa avenue player, now is at

slaught against other junior basket
ball team.
Hines victory over Macfarland puts
1t in tie for first place with the
latter in the junior high school
! series and indicates a prosperous sec
ond-semester basket ball situation
for Hine tossers. At the beginning
| of the season, without any contention,
Mcfarland was granted to be the
best team, but now Hine must be
recRoned with.
Hine has lost by recent graduation
, only three of more than a dozen good
basket ball players, while Macfar-
land, Langley and Columbia, have
each lost a considerable lot Of their

still is a dark horse in the race.

The arguments resolve themselves
into question of the period and the
score. Do not try to get rid OF the
ball when your team Is ahead and
there are but a few minutes left to
play. This is the old stalling game,
which is very effective. In this case
keep the ball in your own territory,
passing back and forth among your
own team members, and make the
opponents come TO you. If they do
come to yOu, work the ball up into
their territory. try a shot ard then
bring ii back ngain. Now, as to get
ting rid of the ball. when your team
is behind pass fast and frequently
and get in every shot at the basket
you can possibly take. Then repeat
this procedure over again.

SAYS Close Churches
To the JObless Men

New York-Because the opening of
New York churches to the unemploy-
ed men led by Urban j. LedouX (Mr.
Zero might be construed as rebuke
to the welfare agencies of the city or
even tend to discredit them, the
American Board of Applied Christian
ity issues a statement advising
churches if applied to for their shell
ter, to refuse the same"
The march Of the unemployed into
Wall street on Christmas eve gave the
iobless no more refuge than their al
ready crowded Camp Memorial
church. Although the men have kept
the church lodging scrupulously clean,
commissioner Of public welfare Bird
S. Coler is declaring that the "time
has come for general bathing of the
workless band" and for running out
of-town members out of New York.
Newspaper men have found LedouX's
followers neat and clean, although in
somewhat frayed and patched cloth
ing, and not at all the derelicts Coler
describes.
Ledoux's army is ready to work and
unfortunately is not trying to get pre-
vailing prices for labor-power. Many
of the men are skilled craftsmen.
With the advertising of $60,000,000
Christmas bonus distributions to Sc
curity holders in the financial dis
trict, LedouX led the unemployed men
to seek signs of prosperity for them
selves. "If there's prosperity there
should be jobs" he says. But his
sally for Christmas eve shelter
brought freezing sympathy to his men
and illness to himself.
Commissioner Coler quotes doctors
opinion that "the herding together of
this type of unfortunates without
sanitary precautions might precipitate
most any form of epidemic" The
men in the Camp Memorial church
have taken all possible precautions
against unsanitary conditions. They
say that if forced to sleep out Of
doors on these freezing nights or
street-walk endlessly it will do more
to undermine their own and the COM
munity health than their careful use
of churches for shelter.
