FOURTEEN GAMES
 ON WESLEYAN'S
 BASKETBALL LIST
Especial to the Democrat)

Middletown, Conn, Nov 6-Work has been completed on the laying of the big basketball and tennis floor in the Alumni Athletic building at Wesleyan university and the floor is now being resur- faced for the first game of the season on December 15, when the Cardinals will meet the Coast Guard quintet.
 The Wesleyan court men, who work under the direction of Prof Dale w. Lash, have a full schedule this year, facing IA contests dur ing the season.
 The Alumni Athletic building has many unusual. features and is regarded by college coaches as a model structure. Half of the roof is constructed of glass which pro- vides light without glare for after noon activities. The dirt floor per mits indoor football practice and baseball and net, stretching from floor to roof, permits track events while these sports are in progress. The track runs between the net and the walls of the building with properly constructed banked turns.
 While all intramural basketball games are played in the Fayer- weather gymnasium, the intercol- legiate contests are staged in the Alumni building. For this purpose a floor 60 by 110 feet is laid. This is placed on stringers which are leveled on the ground and can De placed or taken away in threc days. The boards are fastened to- gether with headless nails which can be pulled through the boards and the loss from this cause is very small.
 The size of the floor permits the placing of a regulation bas- ketball court, 45 by 86 feet, and a regulation doubles tennis court, 36 by 7S feet. Baskets for the bas- ketball games are erected on steel towers having an eight foot over- hang.
 The Cardinals basketball sched- ule this year follows: Dec 15-- Coast Guard Here; Dec 19-Union away; Jan 12-Conn. State here; Jan 16-Williams here; Jan 19-- Swarthmore here; Jan 23-Mass. State away; Jan 26-Coast Guard away; Feb 15-Haverford here; Feb 16-Brown away; Feb 19-- Trinity away; Feb 23-Amherst here; Feb 27-Williams away: Mar 2-Amherst away; Mar 6--Trinity here.

Notes
 Ed Mcdonald, one of the city's best tennis players 8 few years ago, fast week beat Kipp IS to 22. Ed is not so harsh in his criticism of the handicaps now.
 Emmons lost two heartbreak- ing games losing to Lange 23 to IT and Ryan 25 to IT. He only needed one point to win either of the games.
 Warner paid no attention to Me- Donald's chatter during their con- test and came out on top IS to IT.. The biggest upset in the tourna- ment to date was Tobin's win over Lange, IS to 19.
 Jerry Squires did not put in an appearance during the week. He must be getting some secret prac- tice for his match with George Ryan.

"Yours for more Bluffs,

(Ed Note: We'll spoken, Sharkey my lad, and if you look again you will see that I did not accuse Johnny of running out", of bout with Perry last summer. I said he did not appear which is true and entirely horse in different garage. Whats more if you did let Buff go in against a ten pound pull in the weights, you would be better fighter than you are a handler, and under such conditions you could figure on your boy be- ing knocked into your lap.

Th'. Sporting W.r'a
Buff Will Meet Perry at 1858!
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

It's beginning to look as if "a boxing fan" who went to the front so strongly against mentioning Johnny Buff, the South End slug ger, in the same breath with Ken Perry, the "belting beauty" from the Y. M. c. A. started something with your humble servant in the well known middle. Personally, both boys have learned to throw the leather in convincing style, which one might gather from the following, received today from Jack Sharkey, public relations counsel for Buff the battler. Says Sharkey:
 Referring to your item. in last nights column, you put MT Perry in 8 class by himself. Well, if records mean anything, 17 con- secutive knockouts in 22 starts. Now, referring to Johnny Buff running out of fight with MT Perenewski, would you. if you were MT Bluffs manager put him in with MT Perry at these weights-Buff. 154, Perry, 1884. If MT Perry will make the weight of 158, or less, a fight can be arranged by getting in touch with Matchmaker Dick Gray at the New Haven Arena. but I don't think MT Perry will care about meeting Johnny Buff.
