CLOSE DECISION IN "
CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
Goal Scored After Time in
Brandeis-Creighton Basket
Ball Game.
TIE AT 22 POINTS TILL THEN
After a conference between coaches
of the two teams, captains and offi
cials, the decision as to who was
winner of the Brandeis-Creighton
game last night was left to the bas
ket ball national rules committee. The
score now stands tied at twenty-two
points, according to the ruling of
Referee Sam Waugh, and the decision
of ' the rules committee whether a
goat thrown by Burkenroad just as
time was called, counts or not, will
either make the Brandeis a winner or
will leave the game as it now stands.
If the goal counts the store team
wins and the series is over, but if it
doesn't count the game is a tie and
another game will be played.
The ball was in the air as the
whistle blew, admittedly, a situation
which, as decided in recent tames,
would make Brandeis winner.
, At the end of the first half the
Brandeis team were leading, 16 to 6.
When final time was called the score
was tied at twenty points, and an
extra five-minute period brought forth
a real battle. Shields of the store
team had already been disqualified for
roughness.
The first half saw the Brandeis
squad at their best and Creighton at
their poorest. The Brandeis team
excelled in team work in this half
and displayed great accuracy in shoot
ing baskets, Stryker getting four
fields in this half. Team work on the
part of Creighton in this half was at
a standstill and their shooting was
The second half saw Platr and Lutz
sidetracked for Haley and Mulholland,
and to this pair of subs a great deal
of credit is due. Sheer team work on
the part of Mulholland and Parrish,
and basket shooting by Haley, brought
the score up to a tie before time was
called.
Creighton Spurts.
In this half the heavier store team
were completely outclassed, Creigh
ton making fourteen points, while
Brandeis were annexing four. With
the score 20 to 16, with the store
team leading, Haley shot two beauti
ful baskets just before time was
C8The crowd went wild when this
same Haley opened the extra five
minute period with another field goal,
nutting his team in the lead and btry
Lcr, the Brandeis star, tied the score
again with another field goal. It was
here that Burkenroad, standing in the
center of the floor threw the ball in
the general direction of the basket
iust as time was called, the ball pass
ing squarely through the goal after
the filial whistle had blown. Sum-

the plan outlined would be conducted
by the regular army departmental
commanders, who would be author
ized to designate sites for mobiliza
tion camps other than those formerly
used, if necessary, and to "make pro
vision for shelter, recruitment and
the formation of the recruit training
battalions, in the eventuality of war."
No Dual Status.
No units except those designated
would be accepted and each unit
would be required to have the full
maximum authorized or war strength
as prescribed for the regular army in
the national defense act.
The circular also makes clear that
there is to be no dual status for the
national guard in the federal service
hereafter. No individual will be ac
cepted who has not taken the oath
prescribed by the national defense
let. At the time of the border
mobilization about 40,000 men were
held under the old Dick bill provi
sions, classified as members of the
organized militia, not of the national
juard.
"Individuals who are members of
lie organized militia," the circular
viys, "and who take the prescribea
ath, will be accepted and given
oper credit for the time served in
eir existing enlistment contract in
e organized militia."
Complete Federal Control.
Provision also is nude for the tak-
1 into the federal service of a cer
iin proportion of the state admin-
irative staff, as to recruiting, organ-
ition and supply. This was not
Sue at. the previous mobilization.
impletc control of all federal re
uniting and other activities of the
:ard is now contemplated. Divi-
onal pr brigade commanders of the
lard and their staff officers will be
ikeii in as was done before.
. It is provided, however, that each
Vommander of such higher unit or
unattached brigade, regiment or corn
Any shall report by telegraph to the
tepartmental commander on receipt
if thecall and awaft orders. The
number of officers and enlisted men
in each organization will be tele
graphed to department headquarters,
accompanied by reports of all govern
ment property then in possession of
guard regiments.
The plan also provides for the im
mediate calling out of the national
guard reserve, both commission and
enlisted, the latter going back at
once to their regiments. Reserve of
ficer! would be assigned to duty as
needed by . the .departmental com
mander. '
