IR*ae MORGAN, Secretary of i i | \ | the Intercol! Basketball League, bi Hed a meeting uf the Executive Committee of the league for to-morrow to decide the protest ade by Columbia of last Wedn y's game with Princeton in the Columbia gymnasium. The protest is based on the action of Referee A. S. Melick of the Trenton Y. M, C. A. in allowing a field goal made by Princeton, after a Princeton player had committed « foul, to count in the score. As the Tigers won the decision over Columbia by only two points, 29—27, considerable importance attaches to the ruling, Followers of the Blue and White are greatly wrought up over the matt the loss of the game may cost the local college the league championship. The Executive Com- mittee is composed of one member from each college. Columbia and Princeton will be barred from vot~- ing an interested parties.

In the history of jurisprudence this was the largeat fine ever imposed by a court. Like most any other American lad, Judge Landis hes played baseball, but not much of it. He was born in Butler County, Ohio, and his father thought he was cut out for a farmer. He was fond of the mountains—that shows how he got his middie name. He abandoned the farm when he was about eighteen and carried a route for a small weekly newspaper in Logansport, Ind, Then he began to study. Law did not first attract him, He got into it in round-about way. He took a job as an official court stenographer in an Indiana circuit court, then his taste for Blackstone, Kent and Marshall developed. Secretary of State Gresham, under President Garfield, took a liking to young Landis and made him his secretary in Washington. When Secretary Gresham died Landis went back to Chicago, where he practived law until President Roosevelt appointed him to the place on the bench which he now occupies, Judge Landis in not a foreigner to the sporting fraternity, It wan he who arraigned Jack Johnson on the white alave indictment {n Chicago. He has had more to do with anti-trust trials than any other Federal Judge. HILE it may appear premature to make the prediction at this time that race track owners will lift the ban on the exchange of jmoney at the tracks this season, there is ry reason to believe that @ more liberal sygtem is to be intro- duced next May.
