With the speed of a bunch Of cub

tet Waloped the varsity squad of Cen
tral college of Pella, 3S to 20, last
mght. Occasionally there were sparts
OF fast work, but there was such a
slowness to the whole mill that some
fifty bugs in the gallery were unable
to get the Influence of the twenty de-
grees below zero weather out Of their
systems and secure q few grains Of
excitement. What the players did not
contribute to the tranquility Of the
game the referee did. for he directed
the cubs with the quickness of hard
shelled tortoise. OttUmwa demon
strated her superiority over the college
men at all times and therefore the
game was pickings for Eige's men. 1t
is beginning to look as if the "Y" squad
plays just hard enough, and fast
enough to win, for the men surely did
take their time last night. The varsity
quintet seemed to place all her ener-
gies in the game but still there was
ssoWness everywhere. No doubt the
chil]ness of the atmosphere and the
decollette gowns of the ten basket
tossers was responsible in great part
for the slow battle. The temperature
did rot reach above fifty and the men
could not get warmed up and go after
each other. Basketball. like baseball,

played just hard enough to keep

Epps Got Most Baskets.
BOX Car" Epps, who is seriously
considering cultivating his voice, made
twenty-one of the thirty-eight points
last night. He loafed like the rest at
times, but nevertheless he tossed a
basket now and then to break up the
monotony Of the function. BOX Car"
nabbed five baskets in the first half
and four in the last, despite the fact
that he. had De Cook, Centrars best
guard, hanging on his arm. Epps also
threw four out of five fouls. Stutsman
put the globule through the hole five
times last night and would have Sc
cured more had his blinkers been a
little better. Epps, Stutsman, Mier
and Johnson did not show all that was
in them. They did not need to. The
trio wore Sunny Jim smiles and they
just wouldn't come off. Although the
referee, Pella man, gave his proteges
the best of the mill all through on
fouls and when the ball jumped out
of bounds Ottumwa took it as joke
after a few protests. Mike Mier was
pitted against Van Spanckeren at CEN
ter. reDuted to be one of the best col
lege players in the state, but the way
the son of Erin walked to him wasn't
slow.
He held him to four lone baskets, de-
spite the fact that the visitors fed
