MT. PLEASANT TO -
MAKE STRONG BID

Mt Pleasant. Dec. IS (SpeciaD.-
With every member of last years
team in school, the Mt. Pleasant high
school team promises to be contend
ed for all state honors when the final
reckoning is taken next March. Ihat
arch enemy overconidence is the fact
attributed to their not winning the
sectional tournament and getting into
the state tournament at Iowa City last
spring. The team is being coached
this year by karlstrann. a former
University of Minnesota player and
already the men are displaying mid
season form. Mt. Pleasant high
school has abandoned football and at
present devotes its entire attention TO
basketball. A large number of men
are out for places on the team ana
the entire squad has been in training
for the past month. Such men as
Green. NJ. Harshbarger, Lewis. Miller.
and Weston are likely candidates for
the forward positions while Thomas
and Talbot are fighting it out for the
regular berth at center. Moore. d..
HaIshbarger. Stromberg, R. Thomas,
Ward and Richards and Creig are
among the number who are battling
for the guard positions. The make
up of the team seems practically as.
sured as Green last years captain and
one of the fastest players in the state.
and whose work closely resembles
that of Kelly of Davenport two years
ago, and Ike Harshbargef. this years
captain are men of three years exper-
fence and are, both forwards that will
compare favorably with the best in
the state. Thomas. although rather
small to have the center position.
seems to have the call over Talbot.
Moore and D. Harshbarger stand head
and shoulders above the other candi-
dates for the guard positions. The
team faces an unusually heavy sched-
ule in addition to the games that will
be played at the sectional tournament.
The following is the complete SEIZED

Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Pro-German fore
casts that peace conference would be
held about January Is and that >the
war would end in ninety days. had a
bearish effect today in the wheat mar
ket here. On the ensuing decline in
prices, however, buyers took hold with
more freedom and brought about a
rally. Trade was Of only moderate vol
ume. The opening, which ranged from
the same as Saturdays finish to INC
lower with May at $1.61k to $1.62A
and July at $1.36A to $1.S7A, was fol-
lowed by a material setback all around,
and then an upturn that in some cases
showed a slight net gain.
A big increase of the United States
visible supply total led to fresh set
back in prices, but subsequently de-
cided upturns were shown, the result
seemingly of growing pessimism that
Lloyd-George's reply tomorrow to
Germany would encourage hopes Of a
quick peace. The close was strong x
to 2Mc net higher, with May at S1.64h
to $1.64% and July at $1.3S to $1.3Sss.
Corn hardened owing to complaints OF
scarcity of railway cars at country
stations. Receipts here and at other
terminals were small. After opening hc
Off to Nc up the market scored slight
general gains.
Selling was scattered and mainly 10
cal Prices closed firm at IL to INC
net advance.
Oats held steady. Good buying devel
oped whenever prices tended to sag.

visions Besides the market was affect

Des Moines, Dec. 1S.-To a 17-year'
old boy belongs the record for high
run at pool, the run having been made
a few nights ago in New York by
Louis Kreuter, Gotham's boy wonder.
Kreuter pocketed 131 balls, sweeping
nine entire frames and part OF the
tenth. Records do not show that the
run has ever been equaled.
Experts who have watched Kreuter
play predict for him a career as bril-
liant as Hopes is in billiards.
