I well played In Philadelphia ns it was
rixtccn or eighteen years ago, In those
dajs there were few teams, but they
ere made up of players who lind played
the Rame from childhood in Scotland
or England. The teams then were of
nbout the strength and caliber of the
ltctblehcm Steel Works team, which is
made up pretty much of the same clnss
nf players as were tho Mnn!, lllack
burn Hovers, Thistle, Albion and later
the Hibernians and Uritlsh Americans.
Soccer tcuras in and around Phila
delphia today arc composed almost ex
clusively of native Americans, who have
learned tho game frequently under dis
couraging conditions and nt all times
with only piecemeal or very inadequate
tuition. , ,
D...... l.mrn nnt lieon enrournccd sum-
cicntlv to play tho game, cither under I
Or W1W1 AJ(;J.v "J"I w" .ill
they could ncqulro the degree of skill
necessary to match up with the old
ulavers. Very few of tho old and good
players have seen fit to do much in the
wav of teaching tho youngsters.
The carelessness of club officials in
the matter of encroachment of specta
tors has a prcnt doal to do with the low
plane of pinyingvsklll.
Any ono who has played lawn tennis
knows how it upsets the plnys to have
anybody crowding tho court. The same
thing applies to a game of soccer. The
winger wants his lines clear so that he
can feel free to go at full speed down
the lino or mnncuvcr for position with
half or fullback nnd have in his mind
what he is going to do with the ball as
Boon ns ho has nulled the opponent out
of position or quickly recover in case
of a clearance. How can ho feel free to
do any of these things when the specta
tors are on tho field?
Upsets tho Team
Tlaylng the game docs not mean
dodging nnd hnving his movements in
terfered with by spectators. Having
this burden on his mind, he cannot ful
fill his position properly. He is dls
tatlsficd with his piny because his free
dom wns hampered ; his mates are dis
satisfied with him because Ms play wns
not up to the mark ; fits inside players
are disgusted because ho did not do
the execution with the ball they know
tin tti .tntinlilft nf tllfi nAntnr fnrirnrjl fa
also disgusted because ho feels that he v
might as well play without wings as

they have to run on the field and dodge
spectators.
The" referee, of course, is criticized
for not properly holding the game, in
one way the criticism Is fair because
i. i. 1,1.. ,iiv in etnn flm came until tne
field and the touch lines nr. clear. He
can't hnndle the game properly due to
tho conditions, nnu uie "
badly played and poorly handled gnme,
all due to tho carelessness of the man
ager. Can Improvo Game
If the club officials will make Bomo
effort to keep the lines clear of spec
tators and tho referees will insist on
the lines being elenr the ploying of the
game will be Improved and the specta
tors will incrense in number nnd of
course the gate receipts.
Another thing managers should do
is keep the spectators off the field at
hulf time. These days when tho ground
is apt to be soft allowing hundreds of
spectators to swarm over it docs not
make it any harder, and f tho lines
hnvc not been obliterated in tho play
they will be erased by the spectators.
No one should nt nny time during the
game be allowed on the field except the
players and the officials.
Hopes or like restraining lines-should
bo placed at a distance of not less than
a yard and a hnlf from the touch and
goal lines, nnd if necessary uniformed
policemen put there to keep the specta
tor back of the ropes.
This evil is in the hands of the clubs
nnd the referees, nnd If tho clubs should
neglect it the referees should stop the
game until the spectators awaken to
the necessity of keeping the lines clear.
irnnmrmu' Mr. Stewart will discuss
place kicks and goals.

LAFAYETTE HAS
STAR IN REEVES
Former N. E. High School Cap
tain Will Play Against Penn
Five Tomorrow
Eoston, Pa., Jan. 28. Lafayette
College will make another Invasion of
Philadelphia tomorrow. The occasion
of the latest trip from the college on
thf hill to the City of Hrothcrly Love
will be the annual basketball game be
tween Lafayette nnd the University of
Pennsylvania In Wcightmnn Hall.
Lafayette has made manv attempts
in the past to take the measure of Penn
in basketball, nnd the result virtually
always has been the same a defeat for
Lafayette. Hut this year well, Coach
IJII1 Anderson and his men arc not mak
ing any extravagant statements, but
they arc thinking an awful lot nbout
beating the Hcd nnd Blue.
Since the return of Oendal Reeves,
the former Northeast High School cap
tain, Lafayette has been on a winning
streak. One of the main reason's for
the victories over Temple, Lehigh nnd
St. John's College, of New York, has
been the sensational foul-goal shooting
of Heaves.
In the game with the Temple Univer
sity five Hccvcs scored 11 out of 15
fouls. He continued his excellent work
against Lehigh, cnglng 10 out of 14.
Lnnt week he threw in 0 out of 7
against the St. John's team. Up to
this defeat at Enston, the St. John's
team had won six straight games. They
walloped Catholic University, which
team Penn defeated by a mere two
points. . St. John's also had defeated
Fordham, which, in turn, had won
from Yale.

Due to heavy over-production, cancellations
and generally unsettled conditions in the
wholesale market, we were able to purchase
during October and November over a million
dollars worth of clothing for our chain of stores
at practically 50c on tne dollar. In our en
thusiasm, however, we overreached ourselves,
and as a consequence have been forced to dis
pose of a vast quantity at a big loss regardless
of the fact that we bought them for a song!
This sale is a tremendous success and is ac
complishing its purpose magnificently. Don't
miss this extraordinary opportunity! Small
