PAGE THIRTEE.N REPORTS INDICATE TEN CLUB LEAGUE FOR BASKET FIVES

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. RICHMOND. JND. SATURDAY, NOV. 27, 1920.

Latest reports from independent basketball teams in this community seem to indicate that 10 teams will be in the personnel of the new Suburban league. Eight teams have signed up for the circuit. One has not been definitely accepted because of a slight equivocation, but it is thought that the other members of the league will allow the demand of this team. Hagerstown and Economy have not sent in their applications definitely, but it is understood from a. reliable source that these clubs will have their representatives at the meeting Sunday to make formal application ' to the charter members for a berth in tho league. With the addition of these two teams a 10-club circuit will be formed, with a playing schedule extending over about 12 weeks. A meeting for the drafting of the schedule, posting of forfeits and presentation of reserve lists will be held at the Brehm Sporting Goods store Sunday afternoon. This -will probably be the last meeting before the beginning of the actual playing schedule of the league the first week in December. A cup will be presented the winning team, if plans of officials of the league are successful. The number of teams entered make the drafting of a schedule difficult and it is probable that a two-round schedule will have to be

adopted. Different forms of playing dates are now under construction and' will probably be ready fof announce ment early next week. Some keen rivalry is expected between several of the team3. Lynn and Fountain City will no doubt stage some classy battles as will the three teams from Richmond. PANHANDLES TROUNCE LOGANSPORT QUINTET Logansport's railroad team went down in defeat before the local Panhandles 15 to i) on the Y. M. C. A. floor Friday night. The game was not particularly fast. The local five had the better of the argument at all times Although the score was close at many limes there seemed to be little doubt that the Panhandles would win. Th game was clean and both sides showed themselves to be real sportsmen. The refereeing slowed up the j;ame by calling fouls too close for an independent game. Twenty-seven fouls were called throughout the game. Both teams were mediocre in their passing letting many chances for a demonstration of team work pass by muffing the ball. Logansport had better passing but were unable to connect with the hoop. The Panhandlers were a little off their goal shooting ' game. Runnels Hits Basket. Runnels, local forward, had an uncanny eye for the basket chalking up a long shot or two that brought the crowd to its feet. He garnered eight points for high scorer and was only in the game duringthe first half. Panhandles (15).

LONGER SCHEDULES TO BE REQUESTED OF WESTERN COMMITTEE

fRv Associated Press. CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Requests for a longer playing schedule for Western conference football teams will be presented to the faculty committee which meets here in annual session, Dec. 4 according to reports today. Several of the bip: ten coaches pre said to favor a nine-game schedule instead of seven as at present, adding perhaps two preliminpry contests to lit the elevens for the important battles late in the season. The increased interest taken in the big ten games, is shown by the big increase in receipts ttr's year at many of the colleges, advocates of the longer season declared. Chicago, and Northwestern showed greatly increased receipts over any previous year and Ohio State and Illinois are planning vast new stadiums. The reduction of football interest In 1905-1906 led the conference committee to cut the schedule to give games, but some years later this schedule was changed to seven. Coaches who favor the longer schedule point out thr.t m:uiy teams are inclined to schedule as many as four games awav from the home gridiron, generally with teams of great drawing power. This inclination to play games which are assured of .heavy receipts somD of the coaches declare, works a hardship on the home rooters who would receive the chief benefit of a lonser schedule. Another great advantage it was asserted would come to the weaker elevens of the big ten through the additional practice games as they would not be called upon to face the stronger te?ras so early in their season with elim;nation from the championship race almost certain.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Adequate defense of naval bases call3 for the installation of no major caliber armament of less than 16-inch guns. Major General Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers declared in his annual report, made public Friday. The armament must possess power and range sufficient to oppose successfully any which can be brought against it by a hostile navy the report asserts and should be placed on fixed amounts. Existing armament should not be removed, General Beach says as it has an important function In constituting interior and secondary lines of defense, especially against armored raiding vessels or first line ships able to pass the outer mainline of fortification. Construction of a comprehensive system of interior roads and waterways especially along the frontiers, of great necessity as a measure of defense the report said. A deep waterway between Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay, thence to New York harbor Jnd Long Island Sound. One report declared, would "provide a means of defense of immense value." The report contains recommendations for a ten-year program of road construction in Alaska as outlined by the board of road commissioners for Alaska. Building of an additional 70' miles of new road at a cost of J10.001) a mile is proposed. Three classes of roads are contemplated: Arterial or feeder highways: development roads,, the location of which has not been determined and ihe present road and trail system which would be continued.
