The basketball schedule for the Northwestern sguad baa been conv pleted. Tbe schedule comprises con- ference games with Illinois, Iowa, Chi- cago, Ohio State and Indiana. No games will be scheduled this year with Perdue, Wisconsin or Minnesota, and only (fixe game with Chicago. Tbe men will hare longer trips this season than they have enjoyed for some time.

Jan. 1&--Iowa at Evanston. Jan. 18--Ohio State at Columbus. Jan. 21--Chicago at Evanston. Feb. 1--Indiana at Evanston. Feb. &--Evanston Reds at the T. M C. A. ""-'......' ■ " -....... Feb. 14--Illinois at Champaign. Feb. IS--Indiana at Bloomington. Feb. 2*--Evanston Reds at Patten Gym. March 1--Iowa at Iowa City. March 8--Onto State at Evanston. March 1&--Illinois at Evanston. Coach Grady Optimistic When interviewed by a reporter for The Lake Shore News, Coach Grady was Tory reticent about making any predictions. "We are going to give our opponents a good game in every in- stance. I will state that we confident- ly expect to win a good many of the games this year. The boys are In fairly good condition at the present time, but of course we cannot tell what injuries they may sustain. Thia will have considerable to do with the play- ing later on. If we can keep the play- ers In good condition, I believe that Northwestern will make a better show- ing than they have for a good many year*. Team in Good Condition. The men on the team are: Parks and Scanlon,' forwards; Lamke and Aldrich, guards, and Whittle, center. On the substitute list the most likely men are Wells, Sherer, Burdlck and Babbitts. Parks, who hails from the dental school has shown exceptionally good form, and is a good man in get- ting around the floor. Scanlon has been showing some of the form thai characterized his playing in former years, and if he remains in condition will baa mainstay on the team. Lamke has not gotten into as good condition as he has formerly displayed, but the big forward can be relied on to make some good counts in the games. Aid- rich, at forward, is also doing some good work, and Whittle, at center, baa been distinguishing himself as a bas- ket hitter in the recent games. Harry Wells, who has been on the team be- fore, is not in the best of condition, bat will probably get into a good many of the games. Little Known of the Teams. Not much is known of the teams which the Purple will meet Oslo State, the latest arrival in the confer- enee, la touted as being very strong this year, and the local bunch will have a hard game when they journey to Columbus. Iowa and Indiana are said not to have as good teams as. they have had in the past, and Northwest- era's chances against then somes bright Illinois is in fair condition, but are not expected to be serious contenders for the conference cham- pionship this year. Chicago looks strongest of any of tbe teams the local aggregation wfll oppose, cad in fait the chances of the Maroons for a championship Ave this year are good. Practically all of the old men are beck, and some of last year's freshmen are looming an. Merchants Can See Little Bene- fit to Their Business Thru This System. PARCELS COMING SLOW Business it the Postoffice is Not Any Bigger thaa When Post Was First Installed. The rumor that local merchants were intending to avail themselves of the parcels post delivery in Evanston could not be substantiated by a re- porter of The Lake Shore News, who interviewed several of the prominent merchants Monday. The only use that it is expected will be made of the new service win be for sending bun- dles to towns along the North Shore and possibly in tbe extreme ends of the city, when their own delivery sys- tems are overcrowded. Service North Bad. Tbe territory that several local firms cover extends north as far as Highland Park, and south as far as Rogers Park. Owing to the heavy letter mail on the trains out of Evans- ton that stop at* these towns so near, it often happens that parcels are not sorted before the station to which they are directed is reached, and con- sequently they are carried on to the end of the route and have to come back before they reach their destina- tion. Pew Trains Carry Mail. Owing to these conditions the serv- ice Vo towns directly north that are reached by local concerns is very poor, and the time consumed in de- livery uncertain. The trains going north that carry mall matter leave Evanston tt 7 a.m. and at 2:20 p. m. The second train does not run on Sat- urday, so that the accommodations are very meagre/ Rosenberg's Not to Use. When approached by a reporter for The Lake Shore News, Mr. H. M. Ro- senberg of Rosenberg's department store stated that he did not believe that they would use the postal serv- ice for any deliveries from the store. He stated that their delivery system covers the territory as far north as Highland Park every day and that they could make their own deliveries quicker and cheaper than the parcels post rates. He said that the only use they expected to make of the system was in sending goods back to manu- facturers. Lord's Doubtful of Plan. Mr. A. L. Bogart of Lord's was of tbe opinion that they would make no use of the service in Evanston, as the new equipment which they have put on will take care of the delivery faster and with less expense than the post- office could handle it The service to towns north will be used by Lord's when emergencies demand It Clothiers Divided. Hayea ft Hayes will make consid- erable use of the new service in send- ing goods north and may be able to use it in North and South Evanston. They have already sent several pack- ages, which they formerly sent by ex- press, and find the rate considerably cheaper and the service at least as good. Karger's Clothes Shop will not introduce the postoffice into their de- livery system. Moat of their deliv- eries are made by messenger and they believe that it can be done mere cheaply, and more satisfactorily by this means, both in Bvansteaaad to towns in the immediate vicinity. Wholesale Firms May Use. Tbe C. G. Franklin company, local h wholesale grocers nave not to date sent any packages by parcels pest. Their territory reaches north as far as Hlf*1*"* Park, west to Olen View, and south to Rogers Park. When they have investigated the new sys- tem more thoroughly, they anticipate using the postoffice to send out "pick- up" orders that it would not pay them to deliver. Sesiaees Net IncreasJnf.

According to the authorities there is practically no change in the number or size of the articles sent from here, when they came under the fourth-class rates. There has been a great dearth of large packages, those sent being practically all small enough to have come under the old fourth-class rates. The first disaster came Monday, when one of the clerks picked up a ques- tionable looking package and spilled what was Once the substance of twelve eggs on his clothes. The eggs were carelessly packed, in such a way that they could hardly be sent by delivery >wagon, and by no means in a safe con- dition for parcels post. It is thought that it was tbe work of some prac- tical Joker, and if such jokes con- tinue, it is believed that eggs will have to be put on the "impossible" list A good many complications are aris- ing daily under the new regulations. Many people still put on ordinary stamps and weigh the packages them- selves... Others do not put on their own name when sending. According to the new rules, these packages are held up at the local office. The rules are posted in the postoffice, but evi- dently everybody in not reading them. FUNERAL OF MISS PRITCHARD.
