Richmond, Nov. 24.-The local
American Legion outfit. reinforced by
several high school stars, will open It's
season here Friday night when they
clash with the Celtics of Waterville,

cry member of the squad is in excel

ket. Little and Melvin will play the
forward positions. Both these men are
fast. experienced and good shots from
any part of the hall. T. Little and
Gardiner will play the guard posi-
lions and these two men form an ideal
combination. Little plays a defensive
back and can always be relied upon
to put up good scrap. Gardiner is
q scoring back and his scores have
helped pull many q game out of the
fire.

gusta and hopes to have full sched-
ule for the rest of the winter.

CRIMSON GROUP
TO meet TIGERS
AGAIN FRIDAY

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 24.-(P)-
Harvard undergraduate steps toward
, reconciliation with the Princeton
student body were in a nebulous way
today with Crimson spokesman de-
cidedly reticent about disclosing any
developments there may have been at
last nights meeting OK the student
council.
The council presumably met to
name five delegates to meet a SIM
liar group from the New Jersey in
stitution and to discuss ways and
means to restore good feeling and
sports competition after the recent
athletic brush between the Crimson
and the Tiger.
But when the meeting was over.
and a protracted session that follow
ed at which Leo Daley, president,
and half a dozen others were in con-
ference had broken up, Daley said he
was sorry but nothing could be given
out.
He was asked If committee to
meet Princeton has been appointed,
if Harvard would go through with
the peace move, or if there had been
hitch. or if there was any state
ment that could be made.
The only comment he would make
was that another meeting of the
council had been called for Friday.
Daley and Joseph Prendergast. head
Of the Princeton body. met in New
Haven last Saturday and agreed to
appoint undergraduate peace dele
gates" for later conference.
Harvard Princet, peace move had
received impetus earlier this week
when the board of oversers Of Har-
ward adopted a resolution naming a
committee to confer with the ath-
letic committee and the student
council to discuss the situation.
Princeton severed all athletic rela
tons with Harvard following the
Princeton victory at the stadium
when it was told by Harvard that
the Yale football game was the only
fixture on the Crimson gridiron
schedule. Princeton had sought
equality of status and its action ter
minated the big three Of eastern col
legiate fame.

LOOSE BALL STARS
SEEKING TERM ON
1926 ALL-AMERICAN

New York, Nov. 24-lP)-Two bril-
liant all American choices last sea-
son-Sturhahn, Yale guard, and
Oosterbaan. Michigan end-are bid
ding again for footballs highest
honor as result Of sensational play
In the waning college campaign.
Sturhahn, chosen for all American
ranking in 1925 from coaching opin-
ions gathered by the Associated
Press, carried a blocked kick to a
touchdown for the winning Yale
points against Harvard Saturday,
while Osterbaan, named on the Same
eleven. scooped up Minnesota FUN
BILE and raced for the points that
gave Michigan a tie for the big ten
conference title.
While the play OF both Sturhahn
and Oostefbaan lacked the spectacu-
lar flashes that marked their work
in early season games last year, both
have played consistent and reliable
football. The dash of the husky Eli
guard brought to Yale the consola-
tion of q victory over Harvard to
salve the hurts of a disastrous sea-
son. Oosterbaan's spectacular dash
turned the tide when defeat seemed
certain, for the lone point of a sue
cessful kick after touchdown was
the Wolverine margin of victory de-
spite Minnesota's superior all-round
play.
A scarcity of outstanding backield
stars to compare with the quartet of
Grange, Wilson, Oberlander and
Nevers. choices In 1925, and a second

this year by wealth of brilliant
