FOB COLLEGIANS
Former Palace Stars to Meet
New Brunswick Fjye Tomor
row Night Y.M.H.A. Hall.
The Ambcy Fire, who are opening
their season on the Y. M. H. A. court
tomorrow night, should prove one of
the stellar attractions (or basketball
tans in this vicinity. The team Is
composed of the best material that
can be obtained In this city and Τοί
tenrlllo and tomorrow night when
meet the fast going Collegians of
Mew Brunswick they hope to make
It three straight, having won their
first two games this season under the
Bamo of the Palace Stars.
The team feels that by changing to
the Y. M. H. A. court they themselves
have better accommodations and the
tans will be better taken care of than
formerly on the Palace Hall rectan
gle.
Harry Koons, who is well known
In this vicinity, will act as floor man
ager, having full oharge of tho danc
ing. Basketball for the past season
has not been patronised as it was in
the days of the old Auditorium when
the county league was in progress and
the "rabid Rivie rooters" used to
come by the hundreds to cheer tbeir
favorites.
Perth Amboy has always shown a
great interest In basketball from the
time when the Puritans, the Y. M. H.
A. and Owls used to battle for su
premacy, through the years when the
Owls pabsed out of existence as did
the Puritans and old Y. M. H. A- and
the Hivies stepped in to fill their
place. The Amboy Five have now
taken on the proposition of repre
senting Perth Amboy on the court
and hope, by defeating the best teams
in the county, to bring all basketball
honors to Perth Amboy this year.
Last year It was all Riversides and
Y. M. C. In and about this city.
Owing to most of the players on
these teams going to war or ready to
be called these combinations have
not been organized but the Amboy
Five has been made up of the re
mainder of both teams.
The Am-Doy irive win piay «vny
Friday nigiht until further notice on
the Y. M. H. A. court, the continuing
of play of course depending upon the
size of the attendance. The dancing:
has always proved a drawing card In
addition to the players ability.
The Collegians are well known In
this city, having: appeared against
the strongest senior teams which
have represented Perth Amboy in the
past few years. Tlie beet basketball
tossers of Rutgers College are repre
sented on this team. The New
%runnwick quintet has sent their line
up to Manager Eddie Regan, it hav
ing tho names of Miller, Whitehill,
Brossie, Kelly and Perry.
Tho Amb«y Five will appear with
the same lineup which Η has used in
the first two games this season while
traveling under the name of the
Palace Stars. B1 LaForgc will play
at the center position, Regan and Ray
Handerhaa will be stationed at for
ward and Harold Evans and Cope
land will do the guarding. Bob Han
derhan and Gene Parker will con
tinue to be the sixth and seventh
men on the team.

EU «fli O.S.
Of Which 60,000 are on Gov
ernment Reservations—Deer
Season in N. J. is 4 Days.
American elk which once had wide
distribution in North America, are
now confined chiefly to the States of
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, and
the Provinve of Manitoba, Alberta and
Saskatchewan, Canada.
The largest herds are In the Yellow
stone region, numbering between 50,
000 and 55,000, distributed In two
main herds.
During the summer these herds
range near the summit of the Conti
nental Divide in the I 'ark, and in the
mountains of Wyoming, immediately
south.
In the winter the northern herd
living in the I'ark numbering between
30,000 and Î5.000, descends to lower
iltitudes In the Lamar Valley near the
northern entrance to the Park. The·
other herd, numbering from 18,000 j
to 20,000 moves down into Jackson
Hole and the surrounding foothills.
On account of the occupation of I
their former winter range by farms I
and settlements, the elk herds are |
forced down from the mountains to
find sufficient food, and in some of
the past winters large numbers have
starved to death.
Since 1909, however, these losses in
Jackson Hole have been averted by
winter feeding, provided for through
the direction of the Biological Survey
and the State of Wyoming.
The Congress ο the United States
same time ago appropriated 150,000
for the purchase of an elk refuge
where sufficient hay can be raised
each year for feeding the herds dur
ing the winter. This refuge is located
in Jackson Hole, two miles north of
the town of Jackson, Wyoming.
Elk are polygamous, and breed
readily In captivity. The wild herds
In Montana and Wyoming bring in
large returns to those states, in the
form of hunting licenses, guides" fees.
and money spent by touriste and
sportsmen.
During· the pant few years, experi
ments have been made in transferring
■mail bards of elk ffrom the Yellow
stone Park and Jackson Hole to
other localities for the purpose of re
stocking Government and State reser
vations. About 1.Î00 elk have been
so transferred to thirteen different
states.
Many elk now in captivity are pri
vately owned and a census of such
elk Is made annually by the Depart
ment of Agriculture through its Bl
oliglcai Survey. It is estimated that
there are about 2,200 elk in captivity
in about 125 different places in the
United States; the total number, wild
and in captivity, in this country being
estimated at between 80,000 and 100,
000.
A family group of American elk
from the Yellowstone National Park
ha* been put on exhibition in the
west wing of the new building for the
U. 8. National Museum at Washing
ton, D. C.
The animals In this exhibit were es
pecially collected for the Smithsonian
through the courtesy of the Interior
Department, from one of the herds of
elk under overnn^jnt pr <ection.
This group shows a family of elk
in the Yellowstone National Park at
the first sign of winter. Snow has
fallen during the night, while there
was no wind, and lies heavily on the
pine boughs and branches.
At this time the bulls, which are
in their prime, being muscular but
yet graceful, take possession of the
cowe by combat. There may be from
one to twenty cows to a herd, which
may or may not be accompanied by
their sprlr'· calves. This small band
lias been ndering carelessly about
through the timber when they hear
from not far distant a "challenge."
The cow has become concerned in the
bull's sudden stop, and has her at
tention divided between the disturb
ance and her offspring. The calf,
feeling the mother's anxiety, awaits
dependently on her next move.
Although the animals are shown in
a prime condition, they have yet to
obtain their longer and thicker
growth of hair and heavy layers of fat
which carry them through the long,
stormy winter, when shelter and food
are hard to find.
Depends on the Man.
The world Is getting better tfc the
mm who U doln; something to make
It better, and remaining the same or
netting worse to the man who Isn't.

TOMORROW HIGH
Five Basketball Games Will be
Played in Junior and
Senior Leagues.
The first games m the Sunday School
Baseball league will be played tomor
row nigiit in the Y. M. C. A- gymnas
ium. Both junior and senior team«
will play, the Juniors having the floor
fro>m 7 until 8 o'clock and the seniors
being in action from 8 until 10:10
o'clock. Ail of the ten teams entered
In the two leagues this year havs
held several practice sessions with the
exception of the Danish Lutheran Sun
day school, the last team to enter th«
leagTje.
Owing to thla late entering it hai
been decided that the game scheduled
between this team and the Seconc
Simpson live will be In the form of a
practice game only. The Danisi
L/utheran team will play its first real
game on Friday night of next week
The other games which will be playet
tomorrow night will count in the leagu(
standing.
The first Junior game, which wil
start promptly at 7 o'clock, will b<
between the Presbyterians and thi
First Methodists. The boys will piaj
fifteen minute halves. At 7:15 th<
Baptist and Second Methodist teami
will play their first half. The 1'res
toyterlan-Methodist second half wil
commence at 7:J0 and the Baptist
Methodist last stanza at 7:45 o'clock
The first senior game of the night
and the first of the league, will start
sharply at 8 o'clock, when the Danisi
M. IS. and Presbyterian players takr
the floor for their first scrimmage. Th<
senior players will go the regulatior
twenty minute halves. At the close o]
the first half the Baptist seniors anc
the First Simpson M. E. teams wil
clash for the first half. After the:
have completed their half the Dane:
and Presbyterians wil! again take th<
floor to finish their game. Following
the end of this first senior rame the
Baptists and Methodists will finish af
ter which the Second Méthodiste and
Danish Lutherans will play their prac
tice came.
The line ups erf the teams have not
been announced by the captains but it
is sufficient to say that all will appear
with their full war strength, having
on their teams the strongest men in
their respective Sunday schools. All
have the feeling that they are to be
the league chajnpions this year and
some close rivalry is expected.
No admission will be charged for
any of these Sunday school games, the
balcony being open to the public. Scats
are placed all around the running
track and the "first come-first served"
policy prevails. No one will be allow
ed on the playing floor except the play
ers, the referee, the official time keep
ers and referees. In addition to the
seats in the balcony there is plenty of
standing room and a large crowd can
be accommodated- All of the Sunday
schools are figuring upon having large
turnouts present at the opening
games and the rivalry between the
rooters of the various teams is ex
pected to be as heated as that between
the players themselves.
25 MILE SWIMMING RAGE
STARTS AT Y. M. C. A.
The twenty-five and twelve and a
half mile swims start at the local Y.
M. C. A. today, the former being for

sical Director S. C. Pew. The senior
scorers are Clifford (Jillis, Gustav Ku
rowsky, Arthur Dawson and S. C.

as well as to develop some distance
