Both teams played desperately dur.

end of the second session the score
was %. It was anybody's game.
The Quakers had the same team on
the floor that beat Indianapolis the
other night and during the last spasm
they got busy and put in three little
pills which was a little too much Tor
the Muncie boys to overcome.
The game was faster than the stops
fwould indicate for the ball was kept
out on the floor most Of the time with
a great exhibition Of defensive work
On both sides.
Griffith was the star OF the night
and made some great steps defending
O'Metz in g. style as only & man of his
ability can.
y O'Metz had 81 stops to his credit
and Pitts 80.
Sox Quigley scored 5 goals and Ev-
ans 2. Farmer and Williams scored
for Muncie.

During 1915 baseball in Richmond
was given a black eye by the weather
man who was in sorrow evidently for
his tears poured down upon us and
put the great national game on the
blink
1t just simply rained and rained and
the tears of the baseball magnates
were almost as plentiful as those of
the guy who turned on the showers.
May l was an suspicious occasion
for it marked the opening of the S.
A. l.. season and it was a great day
for the fans. There was big automo-
bile parade and lots of speechmaking
and the boys in their brand new uni
forms threw out their chests and
boosted about how easy it was going
to be for them to bring home that old
pennant
Vigrans Win Out.
Well, it would be long and an old
story to drag the reader through the
entire season and recount all the
games that were won and lost. It is
sufficient to say that the struggle was
a great one and was not decided until
the last game when the Vigrans and
the Natcos played deciding the tie
and the supremacy of the league. The
Vigrans won that memorable game on
Sept. IL. defeating their opponents
2-1
This was followed by a grand ban
Quet at the Y. M. C. A. on Friday, Oc-
tober / which was attended by mem
bers of all the teams and q number
of invited guests besides the officers
OF the league.
Early in December the annual cleo:
ton of officers was held when George
Brehm was reelected president. There
was no change in the league leaders
excepting in the selection Of Sec
rotary and one trustee. Karl Meyers
was eletced secretary and Alfred Ba-
Wis trustee.
At later meeting it was the opin-
ion of many that the league should be
strictly factory organization and
application was made by a number OF
firms for admittance. This will neces-
state the dropping Of the Vigrans and
d. & w. teams and will likely mean
the admfttance of the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Starr Piano company.
Harmony Continues.
Mr.. Vigran and Mr.. Dennis, both OF
whom did much to make the league q
success are to be commended for their
attitude In dropping out Of the or
ganization without question for they
realize that IL they had made q fight

again a player would be jammed into

Bride claims that he can feel that rib
bending back and forth. The referee.
q tall slender product of the high
school could see none of the rough tao
tics used by the Charlottesville team.
When q Richmond player tried to
get at man from the back he usually
received a poke in the face from an
elbow. Most of Crawfordsville's goals
were made on uncovered throws. The
Richmond guards could not keep up
the pace. Pitts was still sick and
could hardly be expected to do his
best He did not play up to his stand
ard in any Of the games due to sick
ness. The floor was of regulation size
but the lighting was poor In one end.
There were two out of, bounds and
two hard walls on the other side. The
team met the same style Of play as
used in Lebanon only little rougher.
One of the goals had a brace which
was not fastened to the back stop and
as q result several in and out goals
were thrown.
Lebanon, Charlottesville and Wayne
town all had showers in the building
and Charlottesville furnished towels.
After the game we went to the hotel
and got lunch and then went to our
rooms. Then we went to Mr.. Nohr
and Towle's room to do our writing
and to witness the wrestling match.
Much writing was INDUCED in by the
fellows If you don't think SO ask
some of the fair sex of the High school
Some spent forty to fifty cents on post
al cards and stamps and the hotel
people were requested several times
to produce stationery.
The wrestling match came off as
per schedule and Mr.. Towle ended it
by giving Brownie a Dutch rub"
At Waynetown we were treated roy.

house about 2:30 because we arrived
there at 2:14. We had eaten breakfast
at $3.50. We had a good old fashioned
country dinner minus pie and cake.

Every member of the r. II. s. travel
ling squad declares the trip success
The style of play encountered is new
to this part Of the state and II prac
tised and used by the local team II
will give them q better show in the
finals.
The Lebanon school picks out the
heaviest men In their freshman veal
and pumps basketball into them FOL
all they're worth. BY the time Piggy
Lambert, ex-Wabash star, gets through
with them they should and do show
some fast basketball. They play both
guards back while Richmond plays
five men on the ball at all times. On
the Coliseum floor, Richmond's style
Of play is the best, while on a small
floor 1t can be stopped with little
help from the referee.
BY help from the referee 1t is meant
the permission Of blocking in mild
form, which is used by all colleges
At Lebanon when q Richmond player
would get the ball and start it down
the floor a Lebanon man would charge
him and If the ball did happen to be
passed to teammate the passer would
be thrown to the floor or into the
crowd by force of contact. This causes
the loss Of one player in the advance
up the floor. BY the time about three
have been done this way the Oppo
nents have the ball. .=--
On the Coliseum floor the players
have more room to dodge and gel
away. Richmond plays a fast snappy
game which Is due to the untiring eff
forts of Coach Nohr, who advocates
the passing of the ball when an op
ponent charges. The three teams
played on the trip would try to ward
off an attack usually with hip, elbow
and fists.
BY the time one charges a player
two or three times, he gets rather
leary due to self preservation.
At Charlottesville the players usu
ally ducked and ran about six or seven
steps. Then they were considered fast
by the home papers who claimed the
game runaway. From our standpoint
