The game ran nip and tuck dur ing the first half and this period ended 15-14 with the Academy leading. During the second half the Blue and Gold upheld a lead of three or four points for quite some time when they added a few fouls Just be fore the whistle blew.

From then until the end of the half the Academy suddenly took on speed and netted eight points to Central's one, Weigle and DeVore making some pretty field goals. Second Half The second half was all Academy. They scored twice as many goals from the field as Central and showed a, lot more pep. Central had a chance to carry tu/fr\e the bacon during this stage of the game, but they lacked the necessary punch. About the middle of the second half Fields started his brilliant offensive playing tjut could only cage one two pointer. Fields was off color in his •shooting and should have had seven more field goals. W T ren was the star of the period.

MOTES OF TITK GAME; Wren, who was formerly on the Steelton varsity team, played a fast game, making several sensational •shots which were responsible in turn ing the tune to a victory for the Academy five. The Academy boys played all around the Central team in the second half. The High School players ap peared to be lost. Weigle, a former Central second team player was the Academy's largest soorer. It was this player's speed and ability to shoot from the free line that placed confidence in the Academy team players. Academy supporters occupied one side of the auditorium while Central enthusiasts wero seated on the other side. The cheering of both student bodies continued throughout the game. When the Central team seemed to be going to pieces several times in the last half it was the cheering and nncouraging remarks from the stu dents that put "pep" into their play ing. Usaac Five Hands Pitt Team an Awful Lacing Allentown, Pa., Feb. 16.—Defeat ing the redoubtable Pitt aggregation in the cage of the recreation hall at the United States Ambulance Camp last night the Usaac basketball team won its thirteenth straight victory, it was a neck-and-neck contest, the first half ending in a tie at 14 points. Pitt was fierce in attack, and within the first ten minutes of play ficferee Carney was compelled to disqualify McT.aren, the great Pitt tootball star, for having committed four personal fouls, the ITsaacs fi lially won out only because of a mighty spurt toward the end of the same, in which two of them were painfully hurt. Dunn turned an ritikle, but by dint af stalling man aged to stay out of the game, while Cm-ley Cramer injured his ankle so badly that he had to retire from the contest. Captain Penman starred for Pitt, and Dunn and Jester for the ITsaacs. Adams was off on his foul shooting, missing every one of seven chances. Tyrus Cobb May Figure in Record Baseball Deal New York.

Heading Is also a contender for final honors. It looks like a great linish this year. If you prefer to start In a small way, you will find that one or two expert traps, costing about $4.50 to $6.50 each, will afford plenty of amusement for quite a few shooters. If, on the other hand, you feel fin ancially strong, the automatic trap is undoubtedly the best. This trap, of which there are two varieties, is officially recognized and used in all of the big shoots or tournaments. One style is sold out right at $35. The other is rented on a basis of S3O for the first year and $lO for each succeeding year. A refund of sls is given when the trap is returned to the manufac turer. Complete instructions for in stallation accompany each trap. Clay targets for use in any trap cost about $ a thousand. Naturally, you will need a trap house. This may be constructed of heavy planking, banked with earth, or it may be built of concrete. If you are handy with tools you can knock out a first-class trap house yourself. Now we coma to the "score" or firing line. This should be located 16 yards back of the trap house. At this mark five pegs should be plac ed in the ground. These pegs should be a similar distance from the trap. Shooters Should I'tiee Northeast Right here, perhaps. It is best to add that in laying out the "score" it will be wise to arrange it so that the shooters will face the northeast when in position to shoot. This will obviate any trouble from the sun during either morning or afternoon events. This, in a practical way, covers all the items of lay-out and equipment. There will bo other details, of course, such as clubhouse, arrange ment of shoots, trophies, etc. In formation on these subjects will bo gladly given by the Interstate Trap shooting Association. Taken all in all, you will find the sport more than economical when the initial outlay is considered. Of course, if you feel that you must own your own shooting grounds, and you want to build an elaborate club house the cost is bound to soar. On the other hand, we know of many organizations that aro being con ducted on a very modest cost.
