The score at half time was 13 to 10 in favor of the locals. : Previous to the defeat at the hands of the Blue and White, the New Ha- ~en quintet was undefeated and had rvon eight games, including non- Jeague contests. Columbia’'s wvictory moved Cornell and Princeton into a tie for first place, each with three victories and one defeat. Yale stands and White is still in Z and 1.

Episcopal High School's quint will dnvade Central gymnasium tomorrow for its second meeting of the winter with the Blue and White tossers, and the latter will have to play a much better brand of basket ball than usual if they are to overcome the visitors. Playing across the Potomac in the Eplscopalians’ gymnasium last month, the Centralites were well drubbed. Tomorrow’s match is to start at 4 o'clock. High echool tossers probably will use the same floors Friday that they are playing on today in thelr cham- plonship series, although no definite Eelections have been made. Should the Arcade and Central High School courts be chosen, Business and Cen- tral will clash on the former and astern and Tech at the Mount Pleas- &nt school. Pastern {s battling with Western at Central gymnasium today in a game that decides whether Lastern gets the champlonship without further struggle, or Western remains in the race. An Eastern victory will clinch matters for that school, while West- ern must triumph to continue a fac- tor. Tech and Central, meeting at the Arcade, are practicaily out of the title scrap. Both games were to be- &in at 3:16 o'clock.

Schwab, steel maker, in a letter to Chick Evans, for- merly national golf champion, as desirable aids to play in these days of congestion brought about by abnormal influx of new players. In former years, before golf became so popular, members of private clubs, all versed in the rules of the game and the etiquette of golf, kept But today with thousands of play- ers, especially on the public links, the players lose sight of their duties to others and In many cases pile up at the same spot, such as a short hole, while other holes are untenanted. supervisors could be stationed about courses to guide the players and thus expedite their game as well as remove the annoyance to those back of the strategic point. “I think some good might be ac- complished,” sajd Schwab, “if & work- able plan of links supervision could be originated. The duty of these supervisors would be to see to it that players hold their proper places or give way and avoid & four- some, with one or two vacant holes ahead, holding up the entire course. ‘This it seems to me, might promote golt _courtesy, which is essential on the links.

It is best to have a forward, rather than the center or a guard, give the signals for the tap-off plays from center. If the center gives them there is a_greater possibility that the opposition will fathom them. This is because the pivot man is by far the most prominent player of your side. Not only does he start the next play but all opponents are facing him. The chief reason for having a forward give these signals is that all your players face him. And make sure both your forwards become proficient in this work. Then, if the opposition learn what your sig- nals are you can switch to the other. When this step is necessary make sure that the same forward pre- tends he is still giving the signals. That usually upsets the opposition by crossing them up. Some coaches Facts Worth Knowing, Q.

INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil ‘WHAT HAPPENS HERE? In a tournament match last Au- sust two players finished the elghteenth hole of their play all even, but B then claimed he was wvinner through forfeiture of the sixteenth hole by A for violatiom of a rule when his ball lay ia a trap. The match had been played without a referec and when B called the rule violation A admit- ted the charge, and agreed to for- feit the hole involved and give his opponent the victory. The cards were afterward thrown out an the contest called no match, though B, if he had been credited with the victory, would have won the trophy which was offered. REFEREE'S DECISION. The committee made the proper disposal of this matter when the rds were thrown out.
