These contests, held every year at
this time, are anticipated eagerly by
both students and grads. They mark
the occasion for a reunion of old
friends and the swapping of many
school-day "reminiscences on the side
lines while the old and the new strug-
gle for supremacy in the familiar
gymnasium.
The alumnae rather upset the dope
this year by overwhelming their OPP
ponents 1t is the first time in sew
eral years that the "old-timers" have
carried home the victory. Much OF
the ex-co-eds' success was due to the
fact that Isabel Southgate OF the Capt.
toll Athletic Club and Virginia Brown
of Swarthmore were in the lineup.
These two proved to be streaks OF
lightning which flashed through the
UNDERGRADUATE defense for point after
point.

Allowing the right knee too much
freedom during the back swing is an

Lincoln scouts this. He even goes
so far as to say that Edward G. Tay-
Ior. a noted angler and outdoor writer.
must furnish proof of having caught
a musky weighing 65 pounds before
he will believe it. Taylor says there
is a 100-pound musky in the office of
a certain lawyer in Quebec. Lincoln
says he wants to see it.
Lincoln points to those who say
that there are muSkies of over 100
pounds in American waters without
on what they base their slightest
the slightest doubt and wants to know
doubt. Lincoln wants proof that such
muskies exist, pointing out that even
when the muskies are spawning, and
are frequently speared, no such mon
sterS are taken.
He also takes exception to the fight
ing qualities of the musky, which he
says are vastly over-rated. He says in
Outing:
TOO much fake and bamboozle in
this musky game. i have to have
lot of proof before I believe any musky
story that / hear!
so far as the musky being more
savage fighter than the great north
ern pike, it is my opinion that the
latter is by far the stronger and more
savage fighter on the hook, pound for
pound. l have caught both species
on the fyrod and it is by this method
of catching them that l believe their
full value as a scrapping proposition
is ascertained."
He continues saying that the strike
of the pike is infinitely more savage
than that of the musky, and that he
fights much better, size for size.
am not certain as to the respective
fighting qualities, nor about the size
of muskies. However. it is interesting

The right way for a basket ball
player to get away from the opponent
guarding him in order to receive a
pass is to outwit him as to the direc-
ton he will take when cutting for
the pass, and then to 'outrun him.
That is good basket ball
A common practice is for the player
to push his opponent in order to break
away from him. This push naturally
checks the start of the opponent and
impels the start of the player doing
the pushing. But 1t Is illegal.
The right method for breaking away
is illustrated on the left. The wrong
way on the right.

The Eastern League and American
Association wanted to withdraw from
the national association. Of course, it
was the first move toward a sectional
major league in embryo in the West
and the East. They petitioned the
majors that they might withdraw and
upset matters generally, and told the
association they were going to, quit.
OF course, the other leagues of the
national association held their at
tempted seeding members at fault
and wanted the national commission
to hold them to the letter of the
agreement between them.
Glass AA Is Formed.
TIE upshot of it was the formation
of class IA, which included the East
ern League, American Association
and the Pacific Coast League. 1t
was bigger than the run of minor
leagues, not quite so big as the major
leagues, had certain rights in regard
to the settlement of its own affairs,
and was not ridden by the board Of
arbitration, which had been resented
by the leagues involved.
Even the adoption of this agree
ment did not settle everything with
the minors, and the national commits
sion in May of the same year issued
a statement that 1t would not pay any
attention to it; nor need the minors,
and that conditions had gone back 70
their former state. In time this
whipped the leagues into line, and
from then on the national association
has conducted it's affairs largely by
right of its own near independence
and occasionally by concession. There
have been differences of opinion, but
no outright break, because the gen.
eral governmental plan is superior to
anything of the past.
