The Young {Men's Community Club
basketball team traveled to Bethe! last
evening. and in the first game of the
season were defeated by the Bethe]
Big Five. The score of the game was
30-20. ~ 7
The game was fast from the start.
The local team started off with a rush
and scored two baskets before the
Bethel team got started. At the end of ‘
the first half the score stood 1‘2~10 in
favor of the Bethe] Five. The second
half of the game was also very fast.
but the local team could not seem to
overcome the lead of the Bethel team.
despite the fact that they played a
great brand of basketball. 7
The Bethel team had three of the
Laurel players from Danbury in their
line-up. McCarthy. the right forward
or. the Bethe] team. played the best
game for that outfit. Haitsch also
played a good game and tossed in four
baskets from the floor for a total of
eight points. Cavanaugh was the star
of the Y. M. C. C. team and made three
baskets and one foul goal.
This was the first game that the Y.
M. C. C. team has played this season.
and it was the first time that they had
been on a court together. They are
deserving of a large amount of credit
for the fine game that they played last
evening. Manager LaCalle of the
Bethe] team stated after the game
that he would book them for a return
game later in the season. A number
of rooters went with the team to
Bethe].

This evening. at the Norwalk
Armory. the Norwalk Big Five basket-
ball team, will have as their opponents
the fast original Mapiewood team
champions of Long Island last season.
In the preliminary game the Battery C
team will take on the Golden Separates
from this city. Both of these games
should be among the best of the sea-
son.
The Maplewoods were the cham-
pions of Long Island last season. and
will bring their strongest lineup to this
city tonight. The locals will have
080le back in the lineup this even-
ing, and this fact should add more
strength to the Big Five.
The preliminary game should also
be a fast contest. as the Golden Sep-
arates will have some of the best
players in the city in their lineup.
Mgr. O'Boyle has booked the Y. M.
H. A. Separates of Bridgeport to play
the Battery team on January 10. This
should be one of the best preliminary
games of the season. After the games
this evening there will be dancing.
Music will be furnished by Gail‘s Pep
Orchestra.

fighters who possess cleverness
and a punch. plus a willingness to
fight are always popular. That is why
Pancho Villa. the sensational Fini-
pino iiyweight. is the most popular
champion of the little fellows.
Villa. by his victory over Johnny
Buff. won the American. fiyweight
title. However, the brown-skinned
lad is far from satisfied. He yearns
to be fiyweight champion of the
world. .
That title is now held by Jimmy;

produced. In all probability'a match

the very near future.
Vv’ilde has announced that he is
willing. Vila is mdre than willing, so
all that remains necessary is for some
promoter to come through with a sat-
isfactory offer. ‘
.Prior to his victory over Buff, and
the winning of the American title. lit-
tle had been heard of Villa. That was
largely due to the fact that he was
always giving away many pounls.
Since capturing the championship. his
superiority over the rest. of the boys
is so pronounced. that it is still neces-
sary for min to go out of his class to
keep busy.

iworry. A great many fighters start
to worry as soon as they are signed
to meet a formidable opponent. Not
Villa. His only worry is when he has
no matches scheduled. \
Villa is a great fighter because he
likes to fight. His work in the roped
arena is play to him. he enjoys it. He
can hit, he is very clever. he has
plenty of courage. a world of reserve
strength and- best of all he lili'es to
fight. He seems to be traveling faster
at the finish than start.
A match between Villa and Jimmy
Wilde is going to be a real treat and

Illinois Won

Illinois athletics gave a good account
of themselves in the "Big Ten" sport

Illinois won the “Big Ten" confer-

major sports-baseball and track.
The victory of Illinois in baseball
was the second straight win for
Coach Cari Lundgren's team. It was
the third year ln'a row that Coach
Harry Gill's track men conquered the
conference.
The greatest Illinois track perform-
ance. of the year was the feat of the
four-mile relay team in thefraces at
Drake. where a as world record of

Five bases on balls in one game

When players are jumping for the
ball thrown ‘up by the referee in the
center. may one of‘the players, after
the referee's whistle has blown, jump
out of the circle and try to outguess
the opposing player by getting into a
positionio receive the tap?
The player has 'such a right pro-
vided ‘ he does not leave the circle
until the ball has been tapped by his
opponent;
DELAY ’
If a team with only a short time to
play is in the lead by a few points, is
it pet-miscible for that team to retain
possession of the ball by holding it,
or passing it among themselves and
make no attempt to shoot for the
basket?
Such' action on the part of the
team. in the lead is perfectly legal.
The opposing side has the privilege
of intercepting the pasess. of taking
tho ball away, or by crowding the
