WHEN YALE MEETS CHICAGO--WHAT? Two of the Y. M. C. A. Teams Scheduled for a Game This Evening. EXTEND PLAYING SEASON SEASON WILL NOT CLOSE UNTIL LATE IN APRIL, EACH TEAM TO MEET OTHERS IN SERIES OF TWO CONTESTS. When Chicago meets Yale in the Y. M. C. A. basketball game this evening, a great exhibition of the sport may be expected. The midway team places a fast and furious game and just now is striving to show the su periority of the western game over the eastern, Yale has the credit of one victory over the Maroons and will go into the struggle tonight expecting to win. ' All the teams in the Y. M. C. A. league have' adopted the name of a college or university. When first organized the teams were designated by the number of the squads. To see an account of a game between Yale and Harvard. Princeton and Cornell, Illinois and Chicago, out in this neck of the woods is going some. '' The athletic committee met Satur day afternoon and decided to extend the season three weeks longer in April. This gives each team a chance to meet each other in two games. Games are to be played Monday, Wed nesday and Friday nights , following Senior class work. Ferling, who has been playing a guard for Princeton has been, transferred by the committee to Chicago. This gives the latter team,, which was regarded as one of the" weaker, another strong guard. With Ackerman and Ferling in the back field, opposing forwards will have to step some to score.' ' Yale has acquired Gilchrist through a trade and Princeton will have Paul Miller in its lineup. Gilchrist, Spangler and Wiechman ought to make a combination able to secure goals for Yale.

4&f' BEATRICE OITMARS, NEW YORK. SEASON IS FAILURE Earlham Students Despondent Over Showing of Basketball Team BASEBALL TALK IS HEARD In the athletics during the winter season, Earlham has not met with as much success as in former years.'Tbe basketball team which is the chief sport of the winter term was almost a total failure. At the beginning of the season the secondary championship of the state, looked good to Earlham but Rose Poly and DePauw proved too much and these hopes went glimmering. The.' candidates for .the team seemed to kjaow , the game so that the fault of not having a winning team cannot be laid at their door. The gymnastic classes were well attended and much interest was manifested by the students. Financially the athletics of the winter term were a great success. Manager Jones of the basket ball team has not filed his final report but states that he has some money to turn into the treasury. Commencing . Monday Coach. Vail will direct all . attention of the students to base ball and track athletics. Earlham has a very bard season in these lines and it is up to Coach Vail to demonstrate that he is capable of making a first class base ball team with the material and a track team that cannot be beat. Never before has the college had as .much material to pick from and there is no reason why Earlham should not win first place in the I. C. A. L. meet which is to be held here thi3 summer. A SOLAR ECLIPSE.; Hew It Can Happen, Considering Sis ef the Moon. It has been asked how a total eclipse of the sun can possibly happen, as the moon is smaller than the sun. A self luminous body, like the sun. scatters light in all directions, and when the rays fall upon a noolumlnons body they are Intercepted from the space immediately behind it, and a shadow Is thrown a certain distance in that direction. Another celestial body, deriving also Its light from the sun, will upon entering the area over which this shadow is cast be deprived of its luster either wholly or in part This is what happens to the earth in a solar eclipse. The sun and earth revolve in the same plane of the ecliptic, and the moon, being but slightly inclined to that plane, interposes between them once in every revolution, so that it happens that they are sometimes all three in the same line. When this occurs a portion of the moon's opaque sphere is seen projected upon the sun's face, intercepting its light, proportionate with the magnitude of the eclipse, wblca depends upon the distances separating the centers of the sun and moon at the middle of the phenomenon. Only in cases where these centers precisely correspond can there be a total obscurationNew York American. ' A Great Scheme. 'HerbertBteavey, weighing 2S5 pounds. decided to reduce electrically. He wrapped a cofl of copper wire round bis waist connected It with the telephone apparatus and. sure enough, began at once to grow lighter at the rate of several poands a minute. r: 'This Is a grand scheme," chuckled Heavey, pnlltng out the waistband ef bis trousers, which was already n foot too big Cor his waist. . Then suddenly the telephone ben rang. "Is that Herbert Heavey ? a gruff voice asked. "Tea," was the reply. "Wen, this Is the exchange." snapped the Teiee. "Will yon please stop frytng scrapple with the telephone wires? Our ofltoe Is all fan of nasty fat." Bxcaange.

So ruffled was he that he icarried hither andL thither about the senate chamber button-hoiinj members of the upper house, while ask ins. "Have you got It," "Have you got itV" . Several senators began to believe that the dignified senator from Wayne was playing game of "Button, But ton, Who's got the Button. Even the doorkeepers and spectators were cornered by Kirkman. As the chase continued the senator's puzzled face grew redder and redder. After the -attention of several senators had been taken from t)ie consideration of the appropriations bill by the strenu ous . efforts of the ; gentleman; from Wayne to find . that puzzling something, he was asked what was the matter. ... , Lost His Flowers.

Kirkman had looked in almost every nook and crany of the old senate chamber, when he happened to peep under the desk of Senator Pearson of Bedford. There was a, box labeled "E. G. Hill and Company.

It developed that Senator Pearson, at the instigation of Senator Klstler of Logans port, had slipped the posies from Kirkman'a desk while the latter was absent from the chamber a few seconds. The senators had noticed during the day, the large number of boxes of flowers Kirkman had received and thought that they would joke a little with the senator even though the most important bill of the session was up for consideration.
