WILL NOT ENTER
TEAM IN TOURNEY
RED AND WHITE QUINTET WILL
NOT TAKE PART IN PLAY At
PARSONS COLLEGE

The Ottumwa high school will not
be represented at the southeastern
basketball tournament to be hold at
Parsons college March and 9.
Principal w. B. Rice said this
: morning that he did not think it would
be possible to send team to Fairfield
this year as the athletic finances were
not in very good shape. Then again
the team has not won game this
season, although it has shown marked
improvement in the last two games.
SCHOOL HAS RECORD
The local high school has An en-
viable record on the basketball floors
Of Iowa, having won several state and
district championships. The team
this year was composed entirely Of
green material and did not measure
up to the standard set by teams in
other years.
The locals have suffered defeat in
every game. Fairfield and Oskaloosa
won from the Red and White five only
after a hard fight and these two
games were the only two in which
the locals showed any basketball
playing.
FINANCES ARE Low
To send the team to the tournament
would put serious crimp in the ath-
letic funds, so Principal Rice has de-
cided that the local school will not be
represented this year.
The tournament at Fairfield is ex-
pected to determine the state cham
pionship team as Fairfield, Burlington.
Mt. Pleasant and Keokuk all have
strong teams. Mt. Pleasant, state
champions last year, is touted as the
strongest team in this part of the
state.

SECTIONAL TOURNEY
AT PARSONS COLLEGE

Fairfield, Feb. 25.-Parsons college
Athletes will again be hosts to South
eastern Iowa High School divisional
basketball tournament, which will be
held March 8.9 in the trustee gymna-
SUM on the college campus. For the
past three years Parsons has enter
tanned the high school teams from this
section of the state because OF the ex-
cellence of the floor space.
Eighteen high schools have been
placed in this district and every one
of them is expected to have team in
the tournament, and will contest for
the honors of representing the district
at the state tournament, March 1916.
Among the high schools which are
expected to furnish strong teams are
the following: Abba, Burling-
ton, c enterville. Eldon, Lineville,
Muscatine, Mt. Pleasant, New London,
Stockport, Thornberg, Udell, Keokuk,
Washington. Knoxville, Wapello, Hum
iston, and Fairfield.
The tournament is expected to be
one of the best held in the state be-
cause of the excellent record which
many Of the teams have made this sea-
son. In times past the winners Of the
local tournaments have always been
strong contenders for the state cham
pionship. Last year Mr.. Pleasant won
the divisional contest here and also
took home the state honors
There are several strong teams in
this section this year and the contests
here should be interesting. Numbers Of
high school students from all the sur
rounding cities will be the guests Of
Parsons and Fairfield during the tour
nament.

ENEMY NOT REGISTERED

Waterloo, Feb. 25.-Authorities are
investigating the case Of German
alien enemy who failed to register.
Although he has been resident Of the
United States for more than thirty
FIVE years, it is said he has failed to
declare an intention to become nat
uralized. His name has not been
made public. After his arrest the
German was given grilling. Later
he was released on his own recogniz-
ance to appear before United States
Commissioner J. E. Dempster. 1t is
reported that the alien declared he
did not know he had to register.

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago Feb, 25-Big receipts had
a bearish effect today on the corn mar
ket. Arrivals at Chicago. Omaha, Mil
weukee and Minneapolis aggregate
1,742 cars the largest total yet on the
crop. President Wilson's action in shut
ting off any likelihood of ma higher
guaranteed price on wheat tended also
to favor the bears. Opening figures
which varied from the same as Sat
urday's close to Nc lower with March
$l271s and May $1.2Sh@9s were fol-
lowed by slight further setbacks.
Unsettled weather with forecasts of
more, led subsequently to rally which
was further helped by the lifting of
embargo on various railway lines from
here to the Atlantic seaboard.
Prices closed firm, $1.271s for March,
and $1.26H for May, unchanged to hc
higher, compared with Saturdays fin
ish.
Oats gave way under general pres
sure to sell. The same factors which
we're effective in the corn market dis
couraged the bulls in oats. After open
ing &c to NC down with May s6R to
SIC prices continued to show a tenden-
cy to sag.
Provisions fell with grain. Higher
quotations on hogs were ignored.

NEVER did anyone find his job so

if he didn't have to fight occasionally
to do It. When Willard came to the
close of his fight with Jack Johnson
and was Mortified to realize that he
was at last the worlds champion he
probably sat down to think up way
out of the predicament.
Willard knew that as worlds
champion he would have to appear
in the ring perhaps several times
again and he determined to make the
appearances as few as possible.
Whatever scheme he hit upon anyone
can see that it worked fine At least
it has won for him the hitherto un-
equalled record Of only one fight in
three years. No champion ever came
near that before. Mostly because

New Orleans, La, Feb. 25.-Many

here today to witness the twenty
round bout to a decision tonight be-
tween Fred Fulton, Rochester. Mimi,
heavyweight, and Frank Moran of
Pittsburgh, to be held in the open

Fulton was expected to weigh in at

and to on Fulton.
