Tbo precise date la yet to b.i

well known' quantity last year
the team was a remarkable one
and Is said to be fully aa good
or better 'this year.
Superior weight and older heads
won for the Y. M. C. A. last night over
the high school by a substantial mar
gin and boomed stock, in the Y. M. C.
A. team materially Contending with
Slippery, always-active players of the
school on the hill the "Y" players had
their hands full always and despite a
big difference in physical makeup the
youngsters were able to take' the In
itiative with good effect at times
especially In the beginning did the
lads - get their , plays away with
smoothness and threw baskets accur
ately. However, after tlie third play
had been reeled off with lightning
precision, the Y players broke up the
team work effectively and with the
long hard r tsges that characteihe
the stronger arm and cooler lieji,
sent the five through successive team
plays that netted many a goal but
should have netted more. It Is but the
first appearance of the Y team, the
first time they had all been together,
and as the game progressed, the Qye
rapidly accumulated polish that comes
with practice. They put up a much
more scientific game at the , finish
than at the start. In the Interim, the
high school five strove grittily, and
strenuously to combat Its heavier and
bigger opponents but the players weie
handicapped. Fumbling', due to lack
of practice on the "Y's" part and
probably lack of experience under
lire on the part of the youngsters,
was predominant throughout,. At the
boginnlng of the ' first and second
halves the lads ripped off pleasing
accuracy and combinations but were
soon smothered down and again put
on the defensive for the rest of the
sessions. Both contingents of . fans
email as they were were Im
mensely pleased: the older team fol
lowers because of the apparent suc
cess that lies before them and of the
collegians' for their gritty tactics
against severe odds. The highs have
little to fear of teams their own
weight, or the Y's from any ' aggre
gation that may ramble this1 way.
Lc?-'s!ded scores notwithstanding,
the game was entertaining to the
finish. .

Culinary Don'ts.
Don't have a hot oven for simple
milk puddings or the milk will curdle.
Don't foriret fresh meat should be
put In boiling water, salt meat in cold
water.
Don't let sour boll, only nlminer, as
the excellence of the soup largely de
pends on this.
Don't fry anything unless the fat Is
boiling, because it makes the food
heavy or sodden.
Don't forget in boiling meat that it
must not be allowed to boll. In boil
ing vegetables do not let the boiling
stop.
Don't wash meats more than Is abso
lutely nettwsHry, especially game and
fowl, because It has a tendency to de
stroy the natural savor or sweetness.
