with an extra five minute period thrown in. the final score' being 25 to 22. Two field goals tossed through the south net in the last minute of the extra period decided the contest in 1 favor of Coach Potts' proteges. The game was 'a hard fought one, with Northeast on the short end most of the time, but hanging on. like bull dogs.

The first half ended 17 to 17, IJ. and W. leading, in the second half the score was tied four times, the period ending with the teams deadlocked at 21 21. D. and W.

Clouscr was the leading scorer of the game, getting four twin pointers. The Armory was crowded for the cruHid battle, Northeast High sending a strong and powerful lunged delegation of rooters that kept things lively throughout the evening. Two great splashes of vivid yellow indicated the presence of two bodies of northeast girls, one group in the west balcony ami the other almost beneath. Kvery point scored by the boys from Twelfth and Perry was the signal for a wila waving of yellow the whole looking like a colorful carnival.

While the teams rested for the extra period the fans kept all citizens within four blocks' awake 'by their yelling. Spectators at one end of the hall could see the cheer leaders at the other end waving their hands and shouting madly through their megaphones, but there was no chance of hearing them. Lots of junior high students will know more about field goals, dribbling and foul shooting today than their lessons.

Behh scl, THE READING TIMES, READ'lNG, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY' 14, 1924 Ewe DRAFT FIGHT LONG SCHEDULE CRITICIZED By DAN HARPER Sporti Editor, Tie Times While the news from the International League battlefront in New Yprk is compared with what Reading fans desire to know, there must have been a big scrap waged between the club handlers of the Toole circuit. And, while dispatches emphasize the schedule fight, 'the combat over the draft surely was no Mah Jong game. Nothing much has been published concerning the lineup on the draft. The league heads would have everyone believe that little matter of the Ints relations with the majors was settled with little difficulty.

That seems very Behind the closed doors that barred the way for inquisitive outsiders, a pitched battle mast have been fought, with a group of men who wanted the draft through in spite of the efforts stand alone. A few tales have leaked out. of six clubs against the resumption On favoring it. But it is said that one or two of the clubs went through internal strife before their votes were decided upon.

And the tussle over the adoption of the game dates came in for more publicity than the draft grapple, because those ancient roes, ueorge otalungs and Jack Dunn, opposed each other.

Followers of the Oriole leader claim that Dunn, Stalhngsand Toole' i i ji i 'i i .1 i i agreed on a schedule when the three met in North Carolina a month or so ago, and that Stallings presented an entirely different one at the New a York session. But Dunn's idea of a schedule is out of order, clamor i the Kochestentes.

And many players agree with that idea, saying, with logic, that 1 68 games is too many for a ball tosser seir justice. Complaints are free from the pitchers especially, who grumble that their arms cannot get proper rest with a rapid succession of double headers such as were on the cards last sum mer. some ot the twin bills presented at Lauer rark in IviS were far from good baseball exhibitions. the club of many troubles, has emerged from another upset.
