Especial to Kennebec JournaN


Waterville, Feb. 1.-THE Coburn
Classical Institute basketball team is
getting some stiff work this week in
preparation for the game with He
bron to be played this Saturday
night on the latter's floor Without
a doubt this will be one of the most
interesting contests ever played in
Maine. The rivalry between the two
schools is greater than ever, after
losing football and hockey games to
the Big Green this year Coburn is
intent on winning the hoop game.
and though entering the game as
underdogs for the first time in sew
eral years the locals intend to put up
the game of their lives and regain
some of the laurels that Hebron has
been garnering with more or less
frequency of late.

whit die t precautions

BY JOHN SCHOMMER
Basketball Coach, Armour institute,
Former U. Of c. Star

II Is my belief that the diet. pre-
cautions which should be taken by a
basketball player or ny a man en-
gagged in any other form of athletics
should resolve themselves into two
main points-temperance and moder-
alton. I believe that for many men a
hreak in the regular scheme of living
when they ego into training is in
furious to the player and fatal to
achieving the. best results. Natur-
ally. a man engaged in form of ath-
ietics as fast and as violent as bas-
ketbau cannot overeat. Neither can
he try to be Thomas Edison and
exist on three or four hours sleep
each night.
