BASKETBALL GAME.


 The attendance was not as large as was expected at the T. AI c. A. A.-Trin- ity basketball game ill the Y. M. G. A. gymnasium last night. The game was one of the finest seen here this season and was deserving of a much larger attendance The score was 26- p in favor of the Y. NJ. c. A. 1t was a great game, and the local boys show ed the college players that they knew how to play a fast, clever game. The Trinity boys showed up we'll, their passing and blocking were beautiful, but the work of the local players was superior. The game was more than satisfactory to those present. A pre- liminary game between the Third church and the Boys club teams re suited in a victory for the former by the. score of 20-6.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Prof. Charles w

dist Church circles, to-day resigned as pro-
lessor of English literature at North
western University. The resignation, it is

His letter follows:
81 hereby tender my resignation as pro-

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Feb. Fit de-
veloped here tonight that Senator I. J.
Brooks. of Bedford. will not be a can
didate before the Republican State con-
vention for the nomination for attorney
general. Senator Brooks was here to-day,
attending the Lincoln League meeting, and
authorized the statement withdrawing his
name from the race. In making the an
nouncement for Senator Brooks, George
w. Mcdaniel. of Bedford, the senators
close personal friend, said Mr.. Brooks had
decided to withdraw on account of the fact
that his large and increasing law practice
probably would suffer because Of the time
consumed in making the race for the nomi-
nation, and for election, if nominated. Said
Mr. Mcdaniel:
IF Senator Brooks remained in this race
he probably would be compelled to give up
a certain portion of his practice, which
pays him much or more he could
earn as attorney general. Besides his large
law practice he has many business inter
ests Bedford. He is vice president of
the Bedford National Bank and editor of
the Bedford Mail. He also is attorney
for the Bedford Quarries Company and is
attorney for the Southern Indiana Rail-
way. With all these interests on his hands
he has concluded he cannot afford to make
the race for the nomination"

Royse VIII he Candidate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELKHART, Ind, Feb. 12-There is
longer doubt that ex-Representative Lem
w. Royse of Warsaw, will be candidate
before the congressional convention at
Plymouth on Feb. rs, opposing Representa-
tive A. l.. Bricks desire to be renominated.
NJ. II. Summey, of Warsaw, was in
Goshen on Tuesday. and announced to Re
publican workers that such Mr..
Royses intentions. and that Elkhart coun-
ty would be asked to give Mr.. Royse
equal share of her representation in the
convention. This county four years ago
assumed a neutral attitude by splitting its
vote between Mr.. Royse and Mr.. Brick
after its own candidate, G. ID. Roys, of
Elkhart, had Withdrawn, and this county
thus prevented a choice for fOrty-one bal
lots. and the Warsaw mans friends think
this precedent should be followed this year.
At the meeting of the district committee al
South Bend on Monday Kosciusko county
was not represented. and IL is said this fact
has had something to do with determining
the action of Mr. Royse's friends in ptting
him against the South Bend man.

young John Van Buren, disliked the title
very much. He thought il rather nice when
