~ this year by golf devotees Of
~ the public high schools to have
a school heads recognize the
sport and to have a real cham.
pionship series I'm which representa-
tives OF all five schools would partici.
pate.
Recognition of the sport doubtless
would mean that members of the var.
ious teams would get letters.
A meeting of golf managers at the
various schools is planned for early
March to make plans.
Though II may be bit early to
count the other schools definitely out
of the running 1t appears now that
Tech and Central doubtless will fight
it out for the public basket ball cham
pionship. Tech showed it's class by
swapping Western Tuesday. 81 to Is.
and Central. defending champion, de.
mOnstrated that II again must be
reckoned with seriously when it van
pushed Eastern yesterday. "a to "a.
Central and Tech will clash Friday
in the Arcadia and the game. which
ordinarily would attract much atten.
ton, as do al encounters between
these old foes. now has schoolboy fol.
lowers hereabout buzZing excitedly.
and the old rivalry again Is running
high.
Those who saw Tech rout Western
and have followed the Manuel Train.
ers during their pre- season game are
convinced that the big. rangy team is
one OF the best to represent that
school for several years. Berger.
Rooney, Capt. Dan Galotta. Goldbla,t
and the other Tech boys all have
shown imprcssively.
Despite it's victory over Eastern
Yesterday. Central does not appear to
have the team which carried it's colors
last Winter. Bert Coggins. willy scho.
lastic court mentor. doubtless has de.
veloped another clever team despite
the loss OF four regulars by gradua.
ton. but those who saw this Winters
edition OF the Blue and White in &C.
ton yesterday realized that II was not
up TO the standard OF the combination
which last season. after achieving the
public high title. swept TO victory In
the University of Pennsylvania tour
nament.

Central deserved TO trim Eastern
yesterday. generally ouiplaying the
boys from the Lincoln Park school.
CoEgins' boy got of TO an early lead
and were always ahead. though East.
ern never was far behind. and at times
was right on Centrars heels. II was
nip and tuck until the late stages
when Central achieved a rather sub
stantial lead.
Burgess headed Centrals attack
with Is points. many OF which he
registered from difficult positions.
Woodward. Centrals other forward,
also played we'll and Colley. rangy

break of the Civil War. The Green
hackers got over 100000 popular votes,
Both of the major parties could, in
close States, take enough votes away
from one party or the other to throw
the electoral votes of those States to
the opposition. That was why both
parties in their conventions were care
jul for years to straddle on the money
question.
Al! States Take Part.
This was the first time that all of the
States participated in a popular election
and saw their electoral votes counted.
South Carolina had never had popu-
lar election for President before the
Civil War, and since that time in every
election something had happened which
prevented some State from having its
vote counted or from having a popular
election. When Colorado was admitted
to the Union in 1875, the Republicans of
the State, under the pretense that they
did not want to hold another election SO
soon, but probably because they con-
trolled the Legislature and feared the
State would go Democratic on popu-
lar vote chose its electors in the LegiSla-
ture. 1t is more than probable that this
maneuver, engineered by Senator Teller,
who became a Democrat 20 years later,
gave the presidency to Hayes.
The fighting was neither fast nor furi-
Gus until after the Maine State election
was held. This ante-election barome-
ter had regularly disclosed the direction
of the political wind since the. days of
.Tippecanoe Harrison. and now it showed
SQually weather ahead of the Repub-
IicanS 1t gave them a great scare and
the Democrats an oversupply Of conf
dence. Grant and Conkling had practi-
cally agreed to knife the ticket, but now
the Ratchet was buried and the two
transformed the Middle West, Conk-
ling doing the talking and Grant grac-
ing the platform. Although Garfield
was charged with a hand in the Credit
Mobilier, and letters were forged show
ing that he was in favor of Chinese
immigration, he pulled through with a
popular plurality of 1000. Hancock had
said that THE tariff is local issue" and
