the football teams Of northern Indiana
from a standpoint of the personnel of
players.
There are several men in this end of

in several instances new material has
developed, making it very difficult to
choose team of this character. This
Is especially true of the backdeld.
Thomas Of East Chicago. Mohn Of
South Bend. Baker of Gary. and Hick-
man of Hammond are all firstclass
quarterbacks and have shown excep-
tional ability in handling the forward
pass and their field generalship has
been noteworthy. The position has
been given to Thomas because he
combines all of those attributes that
make a successful backfield man. He
is an excellent punter. In one game
all of his punts Travelled more than
fifty yards. His speed in the open
field and his accuracy in passing give
him the call for the position.

THE Republican national convention
in Chicago last week nominated Justice
Charles e. HngheS OF the United States
Supreme Court to be President OF the
United States and Charles w. Fairbanks,
to be Vice-President. Justice Hughes
promptly resigned from the Supreme
Court and with equal alacrity accepted
the nomination. He sent a telegram oil
acceptance in which he rather bitterly
assailed President Wilson and the ad-
ministration and made the dubious state
ment that he did not want the nomina-
ton. He never did anything to stave i
off. The Republican bosses did moi
want Judge Hughes, but they took him
to avoid the catastrophe of having Roose-
welt run away with the convention.
The Progressive convention nominated
Theodore Roosevelt for President, but
he has not accepted, and it is likely that
he vii TOT 90 so, as there is not much
Chance that he could make any sort OIL
showing at the election.
