WILL COMPLETE SURVEY
:. or NURSING RESOURCES
End Of War Does Not Lessen I'm
poftsnes of work, Red Gross
s.'.a Announces. -

The fact that the war IL ended does
not in any way lessen the Importance
Of the nationwide survey OF nursing
resources now being conducted by the
Red Cross nor does It relieve those
with nursing experience from patriotic
responsibility in returning the qtles-
tionnaffes issued for the purpose.
This Is made plain by statement
from those In charge Of this national
survey. which has been much delayed
ID It's progress BY the sudden ter
mination Of hosti1ities.
The PURPOSE OF the survey. say
these heads. was not only to find q
more equitable way to obtain nurses
for war service, but was also to make
available for all cities and towns ac-
eurate information aa to what their
resources would be to take. care OF
the needs q the sivilian population to- !:
been needed in the country, and the
surgeon generals Office, as well a. the
Red Cross itself, feels that It will
prove OF the utmost value for q long
time to come. For example. the Red
has plans drawn for the utilization Of
this survey in connection with gem
ef6l nursing problemA These plans
are such that they cannot be properly
carried cut unless the survey is 3
thorough one everywhere.
The request for this survey came
from the surgeon general Of the
Army and the Secretary Of War. The
Red, Cross accepted the responsibility
and Informed the War Department
that the survey would be thoroughly
and expediti6usly made.
The Red Cross will appreciate very
much the completion and return Of
local questionnaires to Anna J. Green
lees. executive secretary, 1413 G

DIRT FLOOR IS
TOO MUCH FOR
EARLHAM FIVE
Wabash Team Trims the
Quakers by the Score Of
70 to Is.


The Earlham basketball Ave went
down in defeat before the Wabash
basketballers to the tune Of 2s-ls, Fri
day night at Charlottesville.
From the hrst few minutes OF play
Earlhana was lost to the Little Giants
as the Quakers we're not used to the
dirt floor. Dribbling could not be done
on the dirt hoor and the men expect
Ing TO slide on the floor would stick
and thus lose their balance.
The first half was walkaway fer
the Wabash FIVE, the team leading the
scoring by 1876 Coach Townsend Of
the Wabash Ave admitted that the
floor was a drawback for any team not
used to it, as the fast Indiana basket
shooters Of the Big Ten conference
were defeated by the Wabash five on
the same floor.
In the second half the Quakers COM
menced to get the hang Of the floor
and their work quickened, The game
was already lost.
The second half ended 29-1s in IA
vor of Wabash.
Earlham plays its next and last
]. G. A. l.. game at Indianapolis Satur-
day night when it meets the Butler
five.
Coach Move said that he would be
willing to meet the Wabash five on
any neutral floor and play the decid-
ing game for the I. c. A. l.. bunting.
if the records of both teams remained
the same.

Perhaps II Fred Fulton looked
more like a fighter in the face he
would be a larger hit with the aver
age ring fan. But as it Is Fulton
somehow never gets q real hearty
cheer in spita Of the fact that he Is
every inch champion In several re-
epects. For example. he can box IKE
q world heater and he can hit like q
fool. Sc far as the most customary
accomplishments Sc Fulton 10 we'll
equipped. But the fact that he doesn't
look 1 bit like q battlar has probahly
done him more harm than anything
else. He has a long, thin neck, q fra
giie chin and quite indefinite and
harmless features. This Ia enough to
persuade many that he hasn't the
fighters heart and that he could never
take a beating. Others are convinced
that Fulton is q gutter when placed In
a tight situation. Some OF this opin-
ion may be warranted but quite bit
of it is mere speculation. Fulton has
knocked out every heavyweight OF any
Importance he has met and this record
should give him a greater reputation
for fighting ability than he seems to
have. The ring game has seen mill
ions of fighters with the most feroci-
Gus faces who we're as harmless as
young cats compared to Fulton. II
Fred had a typical fighting face and
more radiant personality he would
be one of the most popular fighters
in some years.
Jack Dempsey shows promise of be-
coming a much more popular heavy
weight than Fulton mostly because he
looks like the real thing. His rise to
prominent has been remarkably rapid
and he will probably go quite a bit
further. He looks the part of the
typical fighting man. He has the size
and the speed and the furious spirit of
aggression that makes any fighter a
hit. His long. powerful arms rounded
shoulders indicate unusual hitting abii:
ity and his recent bouts have shown
that he can punch. Dempsey is not as
tall as Fulton and he hasn't the
reach, but when the two meet 1t will
be one of the most interesting affairs
