N YEW YORK, N. Y, January "a
New York u. set the pace all
NJ through the game with George
4 town at the 102d Engineers
Armory tonight, but some long
distance scoring by Captain Morris,
with particular consistence and one or
two more Georgetown players in be-
tween gave the Violet a scare through
out before it could win by "a to 81.
The victory was the seventh in 10
games for the Violets.
Morris, from his guard position, just
about stole the game and the show
from the Violet outfit. He Gagged five
field goals in the first half and added
a one-pointer to that to help his team
come up from nowhere to trail by only
% to 10 at intermiSSion.
In the closing chapter, Morris added
two more goals to gain high score
honors for the fray with 16.
Hugret, a sophomore foot ball and
basket ball player for the Violet and
one who got his chance at center when
Left was hurt earlier in the year, did
the best playing for New York U. Hug
ret was second to Morris In the matter
of individual scoring.

COachless Games
Ended at Harvard

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, January "a.
~ The decision to end coachless
base ball at Harvard was an
nounced today by Athletic Director
william j. Bingham. He said Coach
Fred Mitchell would direct the
Crimson nine from the bench in
every game this year.
A year ago, at Yale's request,
Harvard tried out the coachleSs plan
and Mitchell was off the bench for
10 games, including the series with
Yale. This plan met with general
disfavor among the players, one of
whom told Bingham sit had taken
all of the fun from the game"
you know" the player explained
to Bingham, I'VE have but two hours
a day to devote to base ball and
none of us wish to spend hours be-
fore each game in worrying about
problems that may confront us on
the diamond. We want an exper-
fenced coach directing us. 1t is
much easier and far more pleasant. ;"
NEW HAVEN. Conn, January "a
(P).-Officials of the Yale Athletic
Association today announced that
the experiment of coachless base ball
would be continued for one more
year in games of the Eastern Inter
collegiate League.
Although this practice will be fol-
lowed in games of the Intercol-
legiate League, officials said, Coach
Wood will direct the team from the
bench in the four games scheduled
for the Southern tour.

Thurnblad of Chicago and the fiery
Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia extended
their winning streaks to four each and
remained deadlocked for the technical
lead in the world three cushion bill

Thurnblad breezed to an easy VIC

usual cautious game and the Buffalo
player repeatedly was confronted with
almost impossible shots. Thurnblad's
high run was three to Scoville's four.
1t was the fourth defeat in five games
for Scoville, who upset Champion john
ny Layton In the opening match.
ReiSelt was forced to fight the hard
est match in the tournament to keep
his slate clean. He gained a 41-to-26
edge on his rival, Charles Jordan of
Los Angeles, in the forty-third inning,
but the Coast star spurted and had the
result in doubt until Reiselt clicked of
his final point. l1eiselt's high run,
eight points, tied the tournament rec
ord. Jordan, loser Of four straight

Allen Hall of Chicago, the only other
indicated player in the eight-man

MEDICINAL LIQUOR
Treasury Orders 100000
4 Gallons of Rye and Bour-
bon Whisky.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Orders for the manufacture of 2,0O0,-
00o gallons of medicinal whisky in 1881
are being sent to distillers in Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky by the Industrial
Alcohol Bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment.
The action is in compliance with the
prohibition law which requires the Gov
eminent to keep an ample stock OF
medicinal whisky available. The Pro-
hibition Bureau last year started to re-
plenish the dwindling supply of the
legal whisky, which had decreased to
approximately 100000 gallons. Manu-
facture was stopped in 1920.
About 100000 gallons of medicinal
liquor are used in the United States
each year and the law requires 1t be
aged four years before it can be sold.
When the stock dwindled down to a
possible supply for only four years and
enough for six years at the outside, the
order to repleniSh was issued.
At present there are approximately
6,500,000 gallons of the old stock of
liquor still on hand. There are 100000
gallons of new whisky manufactured in
$780, The permit for the new manu-
facture will be issued by the supervisor
in the district where the whisky is dis
titled, but the Prohibition Bureau here
allotS the quotas to the various diStillers.
The amounts to be made by each are
not made public, but 70 per cent of the
whisky Is bourbon and is manufactured
in Kentucky. while 80 per cent is rye
and is manufactured in Pennsylvania.
