Basketball Survey.

An interesting discussion of the
aims and purposes of athletics was
held with Coach McKeen recently
and it is gratifying to note that Mr.
McKeen holds as his detectives the
building of favorable attitudes in
his teams which will help them in
meeting Hfess problems and to have
his boys learn by their losses as we'll
as to take their failures with good
grace. Mr.. McKeen is not especial
ly interested in winning" as
point to strive for, although he real
ICES that winning has its value to
a team, but he is intensely interested
IN building character in each in
dividual SO as to prepare him to
meet life as it comes-Win or lose.
Following this talk, a survey was
made of the fans on the street to
learn their attitude toward the pres
ent team as compared to previous
years. The following points were
brought out: Teamwork, speed, scor-
ing power, training and confidence
in the coach The one point that
brought forth unanimously favor
able comment was their training.
All thought this team superior in
this respect and one alumni was
emphatic in saying this team was
the cleanest team to ever play for
L. c. H. S. Practically all were of
the opinion that the teamwork was
superior. although not perfect. One
considered the teamwork weak.
Most thought the speed could be
improved. The majority were very
well satisfied at the scoring ability
of the boys and some felt this was
the best team in this respect in
years. All agreed that the sports
manship of the team was above
average with no alibis. Many ex-
pressed themselves as not under
standing the reason of the coach in
doing things in certain ways, es-
pecially the placing of the boys in
play, but all expressed themselves
strongly in favor of his ability.
About so per cent were of the opin-
ion, and very firmly so, that win
ming was not the thing that made
the game for them. They felt that
If the boys did their best, played
a clean game, were given a square
deal they were as happy as though
the team had won They did want
the team to win occasionally to keep
up the boys morale The other 40
per cent were even more strongly
of the opinion that winning was
practically the whole thing-"why
play unless to win" was their plea.
Several who had played throughout
their school days and had kept up
their interest were among those
quizzed and one man who had made
1t his business to referee games was
questioned No women were con-
suited.
Following the home game on Sat
urday night which was lost by a
score of rs to Is to Libby, a de-
llcious oyster supper was served by
the Home &c. class to@%Ae team and
visitors. The supper was furnished
by four interested business men who

Programs Pay Freight.
Of1hand it appears that Washington
Park is giving away $4,000 to its
patrons, but close scrutiny reveals the
fact that such is not the case. For
instance, each person will be sallowed
to fill in three ballots a day, thus
having three chances instead of one,
but remember, to do this he or she
must purchase three programs instead
Of one. The track almost should get
back its 1000 through the sale of
programs alone.
Next, think Of the hundreds of peo-
pie who will visit Washington Park,
lured by the chance to win 81 900 for
nothing. They all will have to pay
the regular admission price at the
gate. The track should get its 81 900
back from increased attendance.
Also. to enter the contest it is neces-
sary to be on hand before the days
sport gets under way.
Many patrons who in the past
missed the first race will be on
hand much earlier now and
they will bet on that first race
they were in the habit of pass
ing up before.
Remember the track takes its cut,
probably in the neighborhood OF 10
per cent out of all money wagered,
and 1t is sure to profit handsomely
from the additional wagering on the
days opening event. In numerous
other ways the nickels and dimes will
roll in. The patrons like a cool drink
or perhaps q sandwich and race track
people are in the habit of satisfying
their wants.
It appears to me and I know that
am not far wrong. that the manage
ment at Washington Park will give
away $1,000 = day only to take in
profits totaling perhaps double that
figure. My hat is of to the smart
fellow who figured out the Patrons

FAAAA 40 oSAA6 w DS q AluSC cuNCCSS. l
have had many inquiries right here in
Washington as to how this battle of
the handicappers will be worked and
so will attempt to outline briefly the
rules for you.
Each days contest will be on the
flrst seven races. To win the daily
prize it is necessary to select all seven
winners. In the event that no one
succeeds on Monday the daily award
Of $1,000 will be carried over until
Tuesday. making q prize of $4,000 for
that day. This procedure Is followed
all week until Saturday. If no prizes
have been won during the week Sat-
urday's award will be 5000. In this
event the rules change and a distri-
button of the money must be made
that day.
Somebody Must Win.
The winner or winners are deter
mined on Saturday by the greatest
number Of winning horses selected in
the first seven races and 1t is not
necessary to pick seven straight sue
cessful choices Thus it is certain
that the prize money will be won by
someone. If you select horse that
later is q last-minute scratch it counts
against you the same as s loser. Stable
entries run as one horse as in the
daily double. Washington Park has
a totalizator which eliminates fields
except in stake races II this situation
occurs, the field horses must be Sc
lected individually.
No charge Is made in the
handicapping contest other than
the patron will be required to
purchase = track program In
order to get = ballot.
A ballot is printed in each program,
the patron fills 1t in by inserting the
program numbers OF his selections in
designated squares for the first seven
races and signing his name and ad-
dress. He then deposits 1t in one OF
the many red boxes scattered through
out the inclosure. At 2:10 pm, five
minutes before post time for the first
race, these red boxes will be collected,
locked and sealed and turned over to
