According to reports from Southern High, Coach Ingbcr has "several mem bers of the soertld team pressing the first team players for their positions." Stu dents nt LaSalle want to know why, If tho competition is so keen, some of the neeond team slayers could not havo re placed thoso too 111 to play on the first team against LaSallo yesterday? Physical directors, athletic Instructors and coaches do not allow schoolboys to smoke. It Is against tho rules of the Board of Education and also the Super Msory Committee on Athletics. Last sea son a number of athletes wero barred from footfall teams because thoy wero detected smoking cigarettes. Tho coaches or the basketball teams of this city can not be too careful in enforcing this rule. Prof. John D. Mahoncy, of tho West Philadelphia High School, at a recent gathering of students at the West Phila delphia Toung Men's Christian Associa tion, said In part: "Tho clgarctto falls into a different class because of two great reasons Its adulteration with other nar cotics and tho temptation to inhale. These Teasons, added to the fact that It Is more readily procured by the high school boy, make the cigarette today the great est foe wo have in the world of musclo and nerve." Drexel Institute, with basketball ma terial equally as good as any found at tho schools In this section, continues to adhere to its policy of playing out-of-town and neighboring teams and not list ing; any of the local quintets. Such teams as Moravian, New Jersey State Normal School, Brooklyn Poly. Brooklyn College, Baltimore Poly and Delaware College are on the Drcxel schedule. Demaris nnd Eves, forwards; Smith, centre: Captain Walls and Pier son, guards, are regulars on the team. Tiio local schools would like to see Drexel In tho fold. West Philadelphia High School scored Its second consceutlvo victory over Pcr (klornen Seminary in the cago when the Orange and Blue squad won, 22 to 16. Captain Fred Bachman showed the Pennsburg squad that tho West Phillies could win in the Perklomen cage as well as at home. Mearkle, Blerman, McCas key, Hubbert, Plnkerton and Gross helped to accomplish this feat. Bchnelderman, the Central High School forward. Is playing a sensational game on the Crimson, and Gold quintet. Mouradian, his running mate, is also doing so well it will be a hard matter for Dave Broom field to win back his regular position on the team. Captain Fowler, Stewart and Welsh are also going strong. It is hard to see haw Catholic High can Jose the Ca'.hollc schools' basketball cham pionship of this city with such players as Dempsey, McGowan, forwards; Pasque rello, centre; Glascott and Ferguson, guards, and with a strong reserve team consisting of Cole and Wood, forwards: Leahey, centre; Dougherty and Dealey, guards. St. Joseph's College and LaSalle College students have not overlooked the fact that the Purple and Gold have won four straight games to date, with no de feats to mar their record. Kimmerllng-, Germantown High School's goal tender, played such a clever game of Ice hockey In the Initial match with the Chestnut Hill Academy team, the St. Jfartln'a squad was unable to tally more than one goal.

Tlio unisn was n most exciting one, and was enlivened by a display of fisticuffs between Frost and Fuller, which escaped tho alert Bactzcl. During tho first half there was really a foul gonl throwing contest between Se dran and Fogarty, with the homo player having n shndo the better of tho contest. During tho cntlro flrst period Fogarty did not miss a shot from tho fifteen-foot mark, landing eleven one-polntere. To this his team mates added two field goals, which sent Trenton's total to 15 points Scdran in the .meantime scored 10 foul goals, the half ending 15 to 10. In the second half tho tide turned for Jasper. Trenton was unablo to locate tho basket on the few shots they se cured, whlli tho visitors guarded tholr opponents nost closely. During the bcc- ond period Trenton failed to land n field goal, being kept In the running by Fo gnrtj's tossing frpm tho 15-foot mark.

Hen Nichols presided. m"B allegation that I was unfolr to 1 Central High is totally absurd," said Michael Saxo yesterday In reply to tho statement that he favored South Phila delphia in tho recent game with tho Crimson nnd Gold. "It looks to me," said Saxe, "that Cen tral High Is up to the old trick of blaming defeats on the referee," In his office in the Drexel Building esterdny Saxe gave out a complete denial to tho statement mado by uoacn Jimmm Usilton, of the defeated Central High five. While Usilton made no charges him self, he said that friends of tho Central School were of tho opinion that Saxe persistently favored tho downtown team. Saxe coached the S&uth Chilly basket bailers several seasons ago and turned out tWeaxohsa.dycsterday that M. decisions In the game wero Impartial In ovMJMro spect and that the only instanco over which a question 'could bo raised oc currod whon ho called a foul on a push ing episode In which Fowler, tho Crimson and Gold captain, caged a field goal and later shot two fouls. "I could have pre vented thoso fouls from being scored by not blowing my whistle." the refcrco said. "After tho gamo Captain Fowler camo to me nnd said that my officiating was fair and abovo board." Wiia a Central Student To show that ho had no leaning to ward tho team which he formerly coached, Saxe pointed out that should any partiality nrlso It would go to Cen tral High, as ho graduated from that school In 1003 That year Saxo played with tho Crimson and Gold team. Moreover, he said that It was not his policy to favor teams when rofcrcelng. and that ho did not know 4ho scoro ot tho recent gamo until uftb tho final whistle. "Tho talk nbu.it mo being nnxlous to get In the cago to favor tho team I formerly coached Is all rot," tho retcreo gavo out "In fact, I did not know I wan to coach the South Phllly-Central gamo until after dinner tho day of the game, when Doctor Kcr, ot South Phllly, called mo on the phono and asked mo to refcrco that nfternoon.
