RICHMOND IN FIRST
VICTORY TRAMPLES.
WINCHESTER; 40-3
Locals Show Real Team
WOrk-BrOwn's Shots at
Goal Total "a Points
Squad Plays Well.

Too much Brown and Bavis and not
enough experience caused the down
fall Of the Winchester high basket ball
team at the Coliseum last night when
Richmond overwhelmed them by the
score OF 40 to g.
From the local students point Of
viewfsit was some game" with the
band stirring things and wild roofing
when the students saw that their team
was going to pull out winner for the
first time this season. More Of the
new enthusiasm was shown last night.
A small gathering of feminine fans
enIivened things. Some of the players
noticed that the girls were taking an
interest in the proceedings which may
account for the splendid team work.
Happy Ward helped the entertain
ment along by showing some fast work
in practice. He shot some beautiful
goals from difficult positions. Happy
is the mascot OF the team and was
very much pleased with the quintet's
party which followed the game was
voted a success.
The noticeable feature of Rich
monds work was the wonderful i'm
provement in the team work. Time
up and down the floor with fast, &C
CUrate passing, never stopping until
the ball was landed in the basket.
Brown featured in the scoring line
shooting eleven field goals and two
fouls running his total up to twenty
four point. four more than half the
total rung up by the team as whole.
Brown is Il newcomer to the local
squad and in his last two games has
demonstrated that he is OIfe of the
best forwards who has ever played on
the Richmond team. He is a stOcky
lad, fast and in the game at all stages,
Brown, Porter and Laning make good
scoring machine as was demonstrated
last night in the first half when be-
tween them they made % points.
Porter is dangerous at any place. his
playing being fast and furious. If Ian
ing is hanging around the goal and the
ball comes his way the scOrekeeperS
might as we'll put down field goal
The close guarding OF Bavis and
1ohanning had the opposing forwards
helpless. Rarely could the visitors get
a shot at the basket. Bavis work
was especially good both in guarding
and working the ball to his forwards.
Richmond completely outclassed
their opponents in the first half when
all the regulars were in the game max
ing 25 points and being awarded 1
while the visitors were unable to
count
Brown made the first score of the
game when he took a perfect assist
frCm Porter, converting it into a bas-
ket. From then on the locals ran up
the score with machine-like precision.
The second half opened with Pitts and
LGGhr going in for Johanning and
Laning. Harris took Porters place.
This combination was good for IA
points but allowed the Winchester lads
to score the only points of the game.
Mosier got field goal and Filler
dropped one in from the foul line.

ROACH WILL LEAD
AGAINST GRA|LERS
''Y" Center to Manage Team
in the Absence of AssOcia-
ton Coach.

In the absence of Coach Roach, his
brother, who plays center for the "Y"
basketball five, will have charge of
the team when it stacks up against
the Holy Grails from Anderson on the
"Y" floor. The Anderson team last
week played circles around the fast
Indianapolis five, and for that matter
has played circles around about every
team it has met for several years. The
locals, however do not fear their Op-
ponents' prowess, and are going into
the tray with the belief that nothing
but a cyclone can keep them from
putting the game on the credit side.
How they will line up:

FANS Or RICHMOND
WATCH TWO GAMES

Two football games in the state are
the center of discussion by Richmond
fans today. They are specializing on
the outcome of the Earlham Hanover
clash on Reid field, and the result of
the annual duel between Indiana and
Purdue at Lafayette.
Coach Whiteside's rejuvenated Qua
kers are expected to trounce the Pres
byterians with ease. After getting
away with a bad start Earlham has
shown the effects of good coaching
and has been coming to the front with
a whirl of speed in the last few
games. Nothing that Hanover can dis
close is expected to worry Whiteside' S
men. Fans are specializing on the
size of the score.
In the Indiana Purdue struggle it is
conceded that either team may emerge
with the coveted victory, although at
the kickoff dope favored the Boiler
makers. Coach Smith is playing a
bunch of veterans. Indiana has been
showing some real football recently
which makes the dope uncertain. The
game will test the methods of Coach
Clarence Childs, who has undertaken
to build up a machine for the cream
and crimson.

BY FRANK G. MENkE,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 21-Yale
and Harvard fought very largely for
the championship of Yale and Harvard
today. The championship of the east
ern section of our fair land was not in
volved in the days doings, because if
Pennsylvania State Team can dispute
any claims by showing that they
played Harvard to a tie earlier in the
season. Should Yale win it cannot
forget that some weeks back a bunch
of fellows who get their learning in
Washington and Jefferson college beat
them up to the tune of 13 to Z.
Yale went into battle today with a
seasons record of seven games won
and one game lost. Harvard's record
was six games won and two lost
Yale, up to today, had scored 178
points against 43 by it's foes. Har-
ward has scored ISL points against %
by the opposition.
Leaders Predict Victory.
AS Is usual upon such occasions, the
leaders of the rival outfits uttered a
few words as to what might come to
pass. 1t may be stated here that what
they had to say had absolutely no
bearing on the result
Nelson Talbot, who captained the
Yale team, said: We'll win"
Charles Brickley, the appendices
fellow who does the same thing for
Harvard that Nelson does for Yale,
said:
THE Harvard eleven is in fine
shape and everybody knows what hap
pens when a Harvard eleven is in fine
shape"
Cy Haughton, who coaches for Har-
ward said
has a better one"
Frank Kinkey, the Yale coach, re-
marked:
"The game promises to be a thrill.

Jack, Canine Hobo, Comes Back;
Tramp Dog Makes Home Here

With the engines shifting about the
yards Jack will leap on the running
board alongside the boiler and trot
back to the cab, where he rubs his
nose against the front window until
the engine driver let's him in. Inside
the big dog curls up on the seat, where
he sleeps undisturbed by the jolts and
the jars of many stops, starts and
couplings.
Occasionally. Jack hops on an out.
bound engine for Hamilton, O., where
he visits for a few days. His friends
there welcome him, but the first they
know he has boarded another train
for Richmond, where he is the pet of
the shops.
Railroaders believe the canine hobo
knows the crews that run between
here and Hamilton and in that way
does not get mixed up and get on a
train bound for Indianapolis, Chicago
or FortWayne.
One of these days Jack will receive
a fine collar as the gift Of the en-
ployes at the Pennsylvania shops.

Jack, the canine hobo, has returned
from the railroad yards at Hamilton,
O., where he spent several days visit
ing with railroaders.
This information is Of especial in
terest to employees at the Pennsylvania
shops here, where Jack, the big black
bull dog, has made many friends since
he adopted Richmond as his home
about a month ago.
Jack, apparently coming from no
where, rode into the local yards on the
pilot Of an engine few weeks ago.
He Immediately made friends with all
the engine drivers, firemen, brakemen
and shopmen. The square-jawed hobo
rides contentedly about the yards on

does not bear the marks Of being a
