WABASH STAR
ALONE BLASTS
QUAKER HOPES
Wabash, 81; EarIham, II

Introduced to the best batch Of
basketball talent in all the states and
a couple of territories, Coach White
side's Earlham squad, outweighed and
outplayed, might have acquitted itself
creditably, barring one condition.
That condition was Stonebreaker and
his sixteen field baskets.
All in all, Wabash scored twenty
seven field baskets, and three free
throws for a grand total of fifty-seven
points. Stonebreaker took credit for
thirty.four of those points.
Brown Enters Contest
The Earlham offense. which intro
duced Harold Brown. the former r..
H. S. star in his first collegiate game,
was unable to get by the mass of beef
and Drawn representing Knute Cauld-
well and Bear Hunt, recognized as
the best defensives in the state.
Wabash made no substitutions and
used practically it's best talent
throughout Earlham's only chance
was to give Guy Pontius chance at
the opposition.

RICHMOND FIVE
WANTS PRACTICE
WITH REAL FOE
Richmond, 70; Hagerstown, 16.

Richmond, 70; HagerstoWn, is.
II last nights Hagerstown-Richmo
high school basketball game may be
taken as a forecast of what will hap
pen during the Sixth district tourney
at Richmond next March, Faculty Man
ager Charley Towle might as well
make out the R. H. S. travelling check
for the Bloomington trip to follow a
week after the district lists.
For, and after bordering DER the
magnitude of the Richmond total no
one will have heart to dispute it, Rich-
mond high school played state title
basketball last night. 1t was not the
case of good team up against a
weak one. 1t was case of champ
ionship team up against strong team
Hagerstown Standing Still.
Hagerstown, heretofore regarded as
one Of the best in this part of the
state, did not have shadow of snow
at any time. The speed of the locals
had the visitors locoed
Richmond's attack, centered around
Emo O'Neal and Tai Jessup. and built
up upon the rocks of the Parker Nc
Bride Shelton-Grimes defense, never
faltered. The subs who replaced them
later in the game didn't either for that
matter. Hagerstown's was second
choice at all times.

The team had won most OF its games
and was still going good when the
time for the annual tourney rolled
around. The team and it's followers
were confident, very confident. New
Castle went to Bloomington by two
points.
Another year rolled by and Rich
mond again doomed the team that was
to represent the district in the state
lists. All opposition in the district
had been set aside rather easily and
apparently there was nothing in the
world to prevent r. H. S. from max
ing the state trip. The team and it's
followers on the eve of the finals, was
confident, very confident. Brookville
went to Bloomington by two points

he did not see it before it was given to
the public.
Mrs. Lee B. Nusbaum, secretary If
the board, also did not sign the state
ment because she is ill in bed. White
says she is in accord with the views
expressed in the statement.

HARRY cHENOWETH
ATTENDS AUTO Snow

Harry Chenoweth and three OF his
statesmen attended the Chicago auto
mobile show. From there they went
to Flint, Mich, to drive some new
cars here for the Chenoweth Auto
Sales company. Owing to the rail

In the event 1t is necessary to make
