MANY PERSONAL FOULS The Creighton basket ball squad annexed another victory Tuesday, Trinity being the victims, 28 to 9. The game proved to be nothing more than a workout for Creighton, Trinity, with a victory over Du buque, came to Umaha confident of taking the Mills' squad into camp by a large score, but they never had a chance. I heir greatest contribution to the score sheet consisted of fourteen personal fouls. Had the referee not overlooked more fouls than he called, the whole Trinity team would have been disqualified. Captain Spittler and Lutes did most of the work for Creighton, as both men spilled the visitors' teamwork before it was started. The guarding was close on both sides, Creighton holding .trinity to tour held goals. Mills is now pointing his men to. wards the Brandeis contest of Thurs day night, which is the last game on the Blue and White schedule. Details of Trinity game: TRINITY.

Happy Hollow Club Wants No Increase In Dues; Talks Site Although members of Happy Hol low club were undecided just which one of a number of tracts they would select for their new home, they were unanimous in one thing. That was that they did not want, under any consideration, an increase in dues, A motion to this effect was the only real business, if it can be 'tailed such, that was done last evening at the organiza tion's supper and business meeting held at the Commercial club. The meeting was called for the con sideration and selection of a new club site. The matter was referred back to the board of directors, be cause a new tract of land was offered to the club shortly before the meeting last evening, and which the directors did not have time to investigate. The Archie Love site, 160 acres on West Leavenworth road, met with the greatest approval. The club now holds an option to buy the land for $200 an acre. As only 120 acres of the tract would be needed for the golf course, it was argued that the other forty could be sold among the mem bers in acre lots.- The land which the directors were ordered to look into is known as the Everett farm, a mile west of the peony farm on the Dodge road. The club has until 1924 to buy club grounds. The board of directors handling the affair are: ' John M. Gllchrest, Robert Dempster, E. Kimberlay. George Durkee, George Gllmore, F. D. Wead. Charles 8herman. B. O. Ham. llton and Charles G. McDonald. Over 200 of the 460 members at tended the meeting.

Make Plan to Close 30,000 Saloons in Great Britain London, March 14. Thirty thou sand saloons in Great Uritain will probably be closed during the next few months, according to the Mail. The measure is proposed as a solu tion of the difficulty arising from the compulsory restriction of the beer output and the brewers are stated to be in practical agreement with the government in regard to the remedy. The closing of the saloons is said to have been suggested by some ot the brewers themselves. They con tended that there were too many dis tributing agencies and that a third of them could be suppressed without inconveniencing the public, while such a step would enable the liquor trade to be conducted more economically. The arrangement seems to be in brief a pooling agreement between the rival brewers, who own the pub lic hout.es. The brewers have been conferring recently with the home of fice and the recommendations drawn at these conferences will be submitted to a general meeting of brewers, .an Austrians Glad Break With Americans May Be Averted Vienna, March 12. (Via Berlin and Wireless to The Associated Press to Tuckerton, March 14.) There was feeling of genuine relief at the Vienna foreign office when the first news which was regarded as authen tic reached here from Washington after the receipt by the American government of the Austro-Hungarian eolv.to the inouirv of the United ' States rerardinc this cnuntrv'a suh-1 marine policy. The news came ir the torm of a Wolff bureau dispatch, saying the Austro-Hungarian reply was regarded as leaving the door open for future exchange of ideas be. tween the United States and Austria- Hungary. Uthcial circles, the press and the public received this message as mark' ing a new turn in the relations be tween Washington and Vienna. The view was taken that the American government was inclined to consider the position of this country on its own merits. As always has been the case, a rupture with the united States would be regretted sincerely.

Plans to Construct Wooden Vessels in Large Numbers New York, March 14. William Denman, chairman of the federal shipping board, left early today for Washington to attend a meeting of shipping experts which will discuss the standardization of wooden ship construction on a large scale to pro vide tonnage for meeting with war emergencies. Denman jaid that models for such ships would be wood en vessels now used on the Pacific seaboard to carry 3,600 tons dead weight. The plan of the board as explained by the chairman is to standardize the parts of such ships so as to allow them to be cut at various arious mills the timber regions on the Pacific coast, the south or the New England coast. Mr. Denman said that one of the difficulties in the way of such a pro ject was the scarcity of ship carpen ters.
