YALE'S BASHETBALL TEAM IS SENSATION Blue Cops Championship, Upset- ting Early Scason Dope New York, March 12—Yale is the Intercollegiate Baulietball league champion for 1923, The New Haven team will be the second one to have its name inscribed on the Alexander Trophy, Princeton having won tem- porary. possession of the cup last year, But two months ago, just prior to the opening of the league scason, few, it any could see a championship team in the Yale material., Eli had finished in last place for two consecutive years, and the prospects for the approaching season appeared hopeless, Joe Fogarty came down from West Philadelphia, where he had been as-| sisting Eddie McNichol with the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania teams, to take over the coaching., He told that Yale would have a poor team, and the undergraduates about New Haven were of the same opinion. B ketball was the black sheep of the family. Makes Good Move, The spirit shown by the members of the squad was encouraging. Fo- garty induced Sam Pite to come out for the team and then developed a good teammate for him in the for- ward line out of Eddie Suisman. Suis- man formerly played at Peddle and had been a member of the 1925 fresh- men team, a rather mediocre five. Yale has two more games to play before the close of the season. Two defeats will not change its status. Jim Luther continues unmolested on his way to the individual honors. In two games of the past week he scored only 14 points. The sickness of Tommy Cullen has removed his only serious competitor.

New York, March 12,—The billlard fans of Manhattan would seem to be due for some: sensational billiards when Willle Hoppe and Jake Schaefer cross cues at the Pennsylvania hotel tonight in the first match of three scheduled to decide the world's cham- plonship at 18.2 balkline billlards. Hoppe, the defending champion, and Schaefer, the challenger, finished their preparatory work for the match yes- terday, and are reported to be in great form, Several reports of sensational prac- tice runs made by Hoppe have come out recently, and another report had Schaefer making an unfinished run of 500 during one of his last workouts. These performances belong in the miracle class even when champions and ex-champions are balls. It isn't probable that any suchy runs will be seen during the strain of champtonship play, but either Hoppe or Schaefer is liable to let loose somk night on such a run and dazzle the gallery with the wizardv of their sen- sitive touch and the strategy of their position play \ o RS YANKS ARE ROUTED New Orleans Team Slam Offerings of American League Hurlers to All Corners of Lot.

The visitors were weakened with the loss of Hosdowich, the former ‘Wesleyan star. It i{s doubtful, however, whether he could have made .much change in the result. If he is as good as is claimed, he certainly would be out of place with the lineup that the Silver Workers presented here on Saturday night. {8 Tyndell Gets a Hand The home team, when it wanted to played pretty good basketball, Tyn- dell, was as usual brilliant, and when he was taken out of the game in the second half to give him a well esrned rest, the crowd gave him a great cheer. Captain Restella did some niee goal tossing and Kilduff ran rings around the visitors when he cared to do so. On next Saturday night, the first game of the series with the West Ends A.
