Penn to Have Strong Basketball Team

Penn to Have Strong Basketball Team.
The prospects Of a successful basket
ball team this year at Pennsylvania
are unusually bright. All but one of
last years five have returned former
Captain Marks being the only loss.
Captain Walton, Turner, Pierce, Jour-
Diet, Keough and Kennedy assure a
strong team, and the good material
from last years freshman team seems
to promise a capable set of second
string men.
The comparative chances for cham
pionship are felt at Penn to be encOur-
aging. All the other colleges have lost
men and some will have to build up
new teams. while Pennsylvania vet
eran team, the only five to score vic
tory over Columbia in New York last
year, remains almost intact and will be
backed up by likely squad Of substi-
tutes. Some of these are Graham, who
played on the strong Haverford Gram
mar school five; Bullitt and Paxson,
who were on Delancey's team last
year. and Bisbee. who played two
years on the Harstrom school team.
The first game will be played on

Although the Pennsylvania eleven
made poor showing on the gridiron
this season there is one moleskin war
rior whose playing stands out above all
others. He is Captain Mercer It is
doubtful If there is faster back field
han in football toys today than the
'luakers' fullback. He starts quickly
and gets up his speed wonderfully He
increased his value to the team nearly
50 per cent by mastering the straight
arm in warding off tacklers. Mercer
uOes this better than any man Penn
sylyania ever had except Bill Hollen-

perts predict that Rosenwald, Mime
sofas great halfback, will be given a
position on the all American team this
fall. Last season he was one Of the
best back field men in the west.

An Aviation Circus is to be held in
Evansville June 6, 7 and 8. under

Ter, which gave the first exhibition
of flying in this part of the world last

the youngest licensed airship pilot in
the world. He caused a sensation in
Chicago the otner day by his arrest
for landing in Grant park after fly.
ing over the city. A third aviator
is Horace Kearney, one of the most
fomous birdmen in the country. An
interesting feature of the meet will
be the races between Curtiss biplanes
operated by Beachey and Kearney,
and the Wright aeroplane driven by
Fish, giving the people an opportun-
ity to observe the different types OF
airships.
The Courier also announces it will
engage the services of famous band

Friday-Motorcycle races.
Saturday-Field and track athletics.
The Aviation Circus will be held
at the fair grounds, and promises to
be the greatest exhibition of flying
ever seen in this part of the country.
The name of Beachey alone will be
sufficient to attract thousands. He
is an aviator who appears to court
death in the air by his dangerous
spiral glides and death-defying dips.

tacle of the day and no doubt .hous-
ands from this vicinity will go to

Jas. B. Allensworth has returned
from Eldyvlle. where he acted as
common wealth's attorney pro tenn.
The grand jury OF Lyon county IN
vestigated the recent plant bed
scraping and made the following re
port to the court:
"Since we have been in session A
number Of outrageous violations Of
the l,w have been committed and
we find upon investigation that from
twelve to fifteen plant beds located
between the two rivers have either
been destr' yed or greatly damaged,
within a radius of from eight to ten
miles. AS soon as these outrages
were reported your Honor immed-
lately called US before you and gave
us strict Instructions as to our duti 8,
and we have summoned and had be-
fore us the owners of said plant
beds and the people located any
where near said locality, and have
been unable to get any clew of any
consequence to these terrible and
outrageous crimes. We found the
people throughout said section will
ing and anxious to give any assist
ance within their power towards
ferreting out these terrible crimes
against law and order and the good
name of our County and State. The
only evidence that we have been
able to gather at all is some tracks
found near the plant-beds destroyed,
the tracks of two persons, one horse
and one mule.
We believe that these crimes can
be finally ferreted out, and we urge
that the attention of the S ate
authorities be at once called to same
and every possible effort put forward
to bring the guilty parties to justice.

Of this county to lend assistance in
