while others have been debating
the subject for years, we've been
putting it to a practical test in our
intramural games" said Neale,
whose brother, Earle Greasy Neale,
Is assistant varsity football coach.
"At the end of our 1898 inter-
college season, during which IS
games were played, it generally was
conceded that something should be
done to eliminate the number Of tie
games by increasing scoring oppor-
tunities," said Neale.
Injuries and Ties Fewer.
II suggested the second-half kick
off be eliminated and the ball be put
in play in the same manner as at
the beginning of the second and
fourth quarters.
'The results of this change, COM
pairing the seasons Of 1898 and 1899,
with the same 10 teams and identical
relative strength, clearly revealed
there were marked decreases In in

Lead Changes Hands

PAGES Owls Win
On Six Occasions Finds
Bosket for Points to
Deadlock Contest

Hal Ifshin, who has played q lead
ing part in Wilson Teachers basket
ball victories this season, almost
single -handedly defeated q smooth
running Shepherd Teachers five In
. torrid game on the Wilson court
last night, 81 to So.
Ifshin was terrific. Thanks to his
efforts Wilson overcame no fewer
than six Shepherd leads with goals
from many ranges and with less
than half q minute to 60 he shot
one that gave his side the triumph.
Shepherd Keeps Fighting.
Starting the third period Shep-
herd led, 20 to ~, but tally by Bill
Hart tied 1t up. Then Bill Forme-
chelli, who paced the losing attack
with nine points, sent Shepherd into
another lead, the tenth time 1t had
changed. Ifshin deadlocked the
game again before Formechelli
scored once more. Bernie Gillian
snatched back the lead with a goal
and Ifshin boosted the count to IS
to 80 for the eventual winners.
However, Shepherd was not licked
yet and Red Lally sank two baskets
to prove it. Again Ifshin found the
range to put the Owls ahead a few
seconds before the final whistle
sounded. Altogether the lead changed
hands 13 times.
In the early play Ifshin repeatedly
started drives that brought his team
from behind either into q tie or q
new lead. He and Roger Irwin both
were stars in Wilson's consistent
rallies.
Wilson Gets Flying Start.
Wilson got OF on the right foot
when Ifshin tossed in one from the
center of the court, but Shepherd
came back to forge ahead as Forme-
chelli, Lally and Chet Ambrose sank
baskets. Shepherd led at the first,
second and third quarters but never
was able to gain q sizable lead. Just
after the second half started Ifshin
tied the score and continued to do
so after the visitors persisted in
going ahead.
The victory was the fourth for
Wilson and the fifth defeat for
Shepherd, which used only five
players.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Engineering
construction contracts awarded dur
ing the week ended yesterday, to-
falling $76,453,000, exceeded their
corresponding 1899 values for the

Federal defense spending for in
creased power output and military
housing were largely responsible for
the gain. the publication said.

tracts for July, totaling $347, ,852, 900,
were the highest for any month
since March, 1880, and the largest
