Missoula Scholastics Have Edge on
Their Opponents in Team Play
Prescotts, Eaheart and Williams Are
Bright Stars.
Superior teampla.y enabled Mis
soula high to dcfeat the basketball
five from. Powell county last night by
a score of 28 to 17. Teamnplay tells
the whole story. Missoula, though
her men played brilliantly, did not
seem to have an edge on her rivals in
individual playing; she won simply
because consistent teamwork kept the
ball close to her basket and gave her
men more chances to score. From
the very first it was evident that
Missoula would win. The local team
played together and kept the ball near
their own basket almost all the time.
The. Deer Lodge boys, 'playing indi
vidually, were powerless except when
luck gave them shots at the goal.
The game was marked by repeated
fouling on the part of the :Missoula.
team. Ten free s'hots were givenn
the visitors, but they made only one
of them count. Five fouls were
called on the Powell county team and
two of them meant scores. Ernest
Prescott, l.lyd Eahea:rt allld ('Iv(illene
Prescott were the shining stars for
Missoula. Ernest P'rescs.tt played a
beautiful game in a forward position,
though he committed most of the
fouls called against his team. He
threw baskets from seemingly, im
possible angles, though, and passed
well. Earhart at guard played a
strong game, and MeHaffie, who
played opposite him, though opposed
to the strongest m.ran in the Deer
Lodge lneup, handled himself credit
ably.
VWilliams and Moe were the Deer
Lodge stars. Williams made most of
the Deer Lodge stores and 'Moe played
a pretty game at guard.
Missoula made 17 points to Powell's

Deer Lodge was making 10 in the sec

Carlisle, Pa., Jan. 1l.-.From rec
ords obtained since the close of the
football season at the Indian school
here, it has been found that star
football players at the institution have,
with few exceptions, succeeded in life
since the:r graduation. This is main
ly credited to the discipline of the
game and the efficiency of the educa
tional system at the school.
Glong bak to to the days when the
Indian team came into the football
spotlight, there was. Johnson, the star
all-American quarterback and captain
of the eleven, who completed his
course here in 1903. He went to North
western university and studied dentis
try, then he married a Carlisle school
girl, went to Porto Rico, and is now
one of the leading dentists of the is
land. Last summer he made an auto
mobnile tour of central portions of the
United States.
Then came Frank Cayou, a good
looking chap, who had them all faded
in circling the ends. After leaving
Carlisle he went to St. Louis and be
came athletic director at Washington
university.
There was Bemis Pierce, a giant
guard in ,the earlier days, who mar
ried a Carlisle school girl and settled
on a farm in western New York
state. Hawley ,Pierce, his brother,
star tackle, joined the operating force
of the B. R. & P. railroad and now
holds an important position with that
company.
Carl Sickles and Ed Rogers seleoted
law and dentistry as their professions,
and "Big Jim" Phillips went from here
to Northwestern university and is now
a rising lawyer in the state of Wash
ington.
Charles Dillon, the big guard in 1903
and a Sioux Indian of prominence, en
tered the Indian service after graduat
ing from Carlisle, and Is now stationed
in Montana.
Then there was Charles Wahoo, a
{'hippewa, who played end in 1905-06.
lie is now a salesman and head of a
branch of a large retail firm at At
lanta, Ga. He married a white girl.
One of the wealthiest of all the Car
lisle alumni is Walter Matthews, the
end who made his reputation in the
altter part of the '90s. He is now a
ranch owner in Oklahoma, and his
holdings are estimated to be worth
$100,000.
Others were Ben Caswell, on the '94
eleven, now principal of an Indian
school in Minnesota; ,Red Water, the
giant Cheyenne guard in 1901, who
represented the Cheyenne chiefs on a
recent visit to Washington; Jonas
Metoken. a successful farmer in Wash
ington; "Bill" Gardner, the star 1907
ond, now athletic director at Oberlin
university, Ohio, Charles Williams, an
Omineida, n :, in the army and sta
tioned at Fort DuPont; Albert Exen
ing, captain and endl of the 1908 team~,
who, after finishing at the Indian
school, studied law at the IDicklnson
school of law and is now practicing
in Oklahioma; Antonio Lubo, a rail
ruand i'mltloye at vaeul(se, N. YI., anl a:
long roll of others who credit their
success to their traIining at the gov
rnmecnt school her(, both on the foot

Vernon Champions
When Luther McCarty won the
heavyweight championship belt in
Tom MeCarey's arena the other day he
hut accomplished a feat which several
others before him in the past few
years have accomplished in that his
toric arena.
Just about seven years ago Tommy
Burns of Canada bename the custodian
of the heavyweight championship by
outpointing Marvin Hart in a 20-round
bout at Naud Junction. Cal. Since
then Naud Junction and the Vernon
arenas have been consolidated, as far
as management is concerned, and it
was at Vernon where McCarty won
his great victory over Palzer.
MeCarey hung up a diamond belt
for the abdominal adornment of the
winner of the New Year's bout, just
as he gave one for the Burns and Hart
affair. This belt is the fourth that
Uncle Tom has passed out, Abe Attell
and Ad Wolgast each also getting one.
The acquirement of the belt, how
ever, does not represent all the cham
pionships that have been won and lost
a speedy lot of base pilferers and will
probably play Fofmann, a former Chi
cago star, in center field.

Honey Grove, Ziegland, who was a
wealthy young farmer, won the handl
of Matilda Tichner, but jilted her a
few days before the day set for the
marriage. The girl, a celebrated
beauty, became despondent and killed
herself. Then her brother, Phil,
went to Ziegland's home, and after
denouncing him bitterly fired at him,
the bullet grazing 7iegland's cheek
and burying itself in a nearby tree.
Young Tichner, supposing he had
killed the man who jilted his sister,
put a bullet into his own head, dying
instantly.
The two tragedies caused a big sen

but finally were forgotten, and Zieg

Today the planter and one of his

Willard After McCarty
JESS WILLARD.
Luther McCarty may be the white
heavyweight champion some day-he
isn't yet. At least, thus opines one
Texas cowboy named Jess Willard.
Jess seems to have logic on his side,
for it will be remembered that not so
very long ago he bested McCarty in a
10-round battle in New york. McCarty
has yet to wipe out the stain of that
defeat before he can proclaim him
self champion white heavyweight
fighter of the world.
Willard is anxious to fight McCarty,
too, and it is said that a battle may
be arranged for the near future in
New York city. That battle will de
cide, for the time at least, just what
white man deserves the, heavyweight
crown.

There Is No Chance for Mistakes in

New York, Jan. 11.-Award of in
signia for playing on various varsity
teams is always a matter of local
usage, but generally is much befogged
by uncertainty. The Yale rules for
such awards are as follows:
The football "Y" is given to every
man playing either the Princeton or
Harvard game,. without regard to the
length of time he is in the game.
In baseball the "Y" is awarded to
any one taking part in the ,hampion
ship games.
The requirements for the trae k""
are more complex. . It. Is aWgrded to
a man winning either firsat place In. ,i
Yale-Princeton meet,, or first or sec
ond place in a Yale-Harvart utet,
or one of the first four places inr the
intercollegiate meet. .The "Y" is aIto
given to a member of the cross-coun
try team winning either first plgce In
the Yale-Princeton run, first or see-'
end in the Yale-Harvard run, or one
of the first 12 places in the intercol
legiate run.
The qualifications for the crew "Y"
are that a man row in either the
eight or four-oar crews in a cham
pionship contest.
To gain the hockey insignia one
Smust play in the Princeton and Har
vard games.
SIn swimming and water polo a "sYa"'
is'awarded to all those having been in
Sa majority of the meets, one of which
must be the Princeton or Pennsyl-.
Svania meet. It thay also be given at
the discretion of the insignia com
Smittee.
In soccer the "aYf" is awarded to
1 all members of the team Who play Ini
league games in the spring, that is,
a any of the league games in the splting,
that is, with Cornell, Pennsylvania,.
a Harvard, Columbia and Haverford.
The wrestling insignia has beetr
awarded to, every man who wrestled
in the Princeton meet.
SThe insignia "gYa" is won by any
member of the "gym" team who enters
- a' dual meet or the intercollegiate
meet, and wins a first place in any
i event. A "Y" is awarded the Yale
man who wins the all-around intercol
Slegiate championship.
For a member of the tennis team to
a gain his insignia he 'must play in the
singles or doubles in the Harvard or
a Princeton match, or play in the sin
gles or doubles in the intercollegiate
a tournament in the fall. If a membel'
of the team wins the singles or dou
- bles in the intercollegiate tournament
he is awarded a "Y".
d The intercollegiate golf champion is
awarded a "Y".
the past year's events it seems quite
improbable,
Jim Flynn need no longer be con
sidered. He has sustained some bit
ter defeats, and he is now 33. E]very
body, including Flynn himself, regards
the Pueblo fireman as a has-been so
far as fighting is concerned.
Al Kaufman, too, has fallen into
the pool of oblivion, and it will be
some time at least before Palmer can
hope to come back., Willard and Mc
Carty, and possibly also Bombardier
Wells, are the men who must decide.
between them who will be champ.
