team were victorious over the Gary
high school five last night at Central
Music hall in one of the most spectacu :
lar and hard fought contests ever wit
messed here, FL to 33 was the score
chalked up at the end OF the contest
and although the Gary team were very
much heavier per man than the local
five. they were outclassed at all stages
of the contest Every man on the
Crown Point team played a star game
and won well earned victory from the
Garyites,. who fought for every inch of
vantage. Wheeler for Crown Point put
up a wonderful defensive game, fol-
lowed closely by Etling, Pettibone and
McWayne. Bartholomae made some
very good basket throws from difficult
angles and was especially effective on
making the basket on penalties.
The locals celebrated their victory in
fitting style, as the game last evening
is one of the most important of the
high school basket ball schedule. Fol-
lowing is the line up: Gary-Stratton.

morning. sought to teach a Jesse to
the spouses who have their better or

Mrs. Hunt came to Judge Barnett's
office yesterday and asked for the ar
rest of her husband on the charge of
assault and battery. Judge Barnett
impressed upon her that he would is
sue the warrant only If she were in
good faith and really intended to prose-

Mrs. Hunt assured the court that that
was her intention and the warrant was
issued, with the result that Arthur
Hunt spent the night in jail. In the

the satisfaction of seeing their spouses
