University school's team. This will
be’ the. first meeting of these twa
outtlts this‘yesr. although they have
played baseball. The Westport team
will have a weak lineup as Coach
Milton D. Harrington can count on
only four men. His lineup will in-
clude Captain Charles :Huck. Jim-
mie Burke. Hugh Beattle, Everett
Baker and probably Joe Bohr at
the other position. Ted Crofut's in-
lured leg is still bothering him and
he will be unable to play for any
great length of- time. Albert Bippe

stitches to close the wound.
Coach Harrington is very dis-

ably he will comb the lower grades
at Staples High in an last-minute
effort to discover some unknown
talent The season started off with
a bang. staples showed enough in
the early guinea to predict a splen-

Rippe and Crofut were hurt. That
broke the morale of the sound as
well as the team work.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1926.-
Thn Norwalk High school basket-
ball lcum averted a. defeat by a hard
fight with their bucks to the wall
in the Center Junior High school
gymnasium last night. The local
lmls defeated the Hamilton H. S. of
l'lidgcfiehl. 34-28. This was the first
has slowed up at times due to the
hull going off side. The small floor
also made the game somewhat rough.
but very fast when the players struck
their stride and began to battle for
field goals.
The local team was leading. 20-5
at the end of the first half. Coach
l’crol Green sent in the second team
to sum the third. quarter. During the
llrst two periods the Norwalk team
had their own way. They led 14-1
when the first quarter ended. The
Hamilton boys looked to be complete
ly out of the picture when Coach
fix-con let his reserve players enter
the gamP.
l-lnmllton played a. different game
against the scrubs. They made a.
fluid goal on :1 play from the first
toss-up at center. They continued to
rush the ball up and down the floor.
Within a few moments the scorenvas
23-18. The Ridgellcld have made
such a threat that Couch Green sent
the fhst team back in action again.
The \thV players could not stop
the Ridgeiield team and when. the
third quarter ended the score was
23-18. with Norwalk still in the lead.
The last period found two deter-
mined teams on the floor. Norwalk
was determined to stop the Hamilton
school from further scoring and the
players from Ridgefield were deter-
mined not to be beaten after making
such a splendid showing in the latter
part of the game.
Knox McGowan was the high scor-

in fou1 field goals and a foul. Cap-

BILLY
Because. RedvGran‘ge. Ernie New
ers and a few other college grid
stars decided to turn professional
before graduating. college reformers
have been deploring the football sta-
tus in our institutions of learning.
However, there are a few optimists
among the college presidents and
professors. One of them is Presi-
dent John M. Thomas of Rutgers.
Ills remarks are refreshing coming
at this particular time.
"I can see nothing radically wrong
with football as it now exists," oays
the Rutgers pray.
"I haxc confidence in the ability
and the character of the menin
charge of athletics in our colleges.
“Taking them as a 'whole they are
sincerely devoted to the building of
sound manhood in the
youth. All of them understand per-
fectly that scholarship comes first.
"Professional football means noth-
ing to the college game. The hys-
teria over the pro brand of sport
will soon die out. as football is a
college sport. ”

There is nothing the matter with
football despite the efforts of the
pessimistic reformers to make it
seem the game has become so big
that it is a menace to college life.
