Blue ard White Basket Ball
FIippers Get Big Lead, With
Kearrey and HawIey 0p-
posing StaiS.
Creighton Is, Drake II.

The undefeated Blue and White
athletes maintained unbroken their
long string of victories on the basket
ball floor by smothering the fast
Drake squad from Des Moines in
snappy game Friday at the Creigh-
ton gym. The game was full Of dash
and spirit from start to finish. Creigh-
ton scored consistently throughout
and had the Iowans outclassed in
every department of the conflict The
floor work Of the Omaha squad ex-
celled that OF Drake, and the accurate
goal shooting OF the locals piled up
an insurmountable lead on Drake.
Kearney Scoring Wonder.
The two stars of the evening were
"Chuck" Kearney for Creighton and
Hawley, right forward for the Des
Moines quintet. Kearney scored 2l
of the Is talles piled up by Creigh-
ton, and Hawley made all the scores
for Drake. Captain Eddie Mullhol-
land, as usual, assumed the brunt of
the attacks and was a prime factor
in leading his squad to victory. Ed
Haley's streak of i'll luck has not yet
deserted him, and his attempts at field
goals insisted on rolling off the hoop
and into the uplifted arms of a wait
ing Iowan.
Hawley got the ball on the tip-off,
but his pass to Higgins was inter.
cepted by Vandiver. Scrimmage was
fast for four minutes, when a foul
was called on Lamar, and Kearney
threw it for the first score of the
game.
Creighton Never Headed.
The dead of the locals was never
headed, and the first half ended 10 to
7 for the Blue and White.
Sarff went in for Halquist at center
in the second balf, and speeded up the
play, but the locals were fuzzy equal
to the emergency and kept on an
nexing field goals. The field goals
scored by Kearney, especially, were
spectacula and consistent.

FINDS WEALTH
In DREAM SHIP
Aged Skipper Brings Home
Fortune in Boat of His
Boyhood Fancy

New Bedford. Mass.-Three score
years ago a small boy in this city
watched the whaler Charles w. Nor
gan leave port and sail beyond the
misty horizon In boyish fancy he
saw himself bringing the ship back
TO port, filled with valuable cargo.
Now the dream has come true. Cap
tain Benjamin S. Cleveland, 70 years
old, has just returned to New Bed
ford in the. dream ship of his boy
mood with d cargo of 100000.
AS Cleveland grew to manhood he
took to the sea, but not in the Charles
w. Morgan. He spent his life on the
water, and returned to land few
years ago, with just enough of a for
tune to keep him the rest of his
days. Then, little more than
year ago he saw the dream ship OF
his youth tied up at Fairhaven and
Coomed to the scrap heap.
The ship was seventy-live years
old, but Captain Cleveland knew the
men who had built it. He knew
where the sturdy woodsmen had cut
the oak and locust trees out of
which the ship was fashioned. Wis
ions of his boyhood dream haunted
him until he finally bought the old
bark, hired a crew of thirty men
and sailed, in September, 1916. His
goal was Desolation Island, $500
miles south of Cape Town, South
Africa the liar of the sea elephant,
on the shelving beaches of that
dreary island in the South Indian
ocean the sea elephants disport
themselves. They leave on a three
months feeding expedition each
year, but return in the mating sea-
son. The bulls fight for the females
and never quit until one is killed.
Hundreds come ashore and lie on
the beach. 1t is then that the hunt
crs reap their harvest.
Bullets Bounce From Bodies
The bodies of the sea elephants
are invulnerable, except in one soft
spot above the eyes. If a bullet
body it bounces off as it would from
plate steel. With rifles and spears
the hunters kill their game, some
times even clubbing the smaller
ones. The sea elephants are like
seals and the only ones that will
fight are the bulls, which battle
hercely.
After the oil had Ibeen rendered
on ship board and the boat was fill
ed with the precious fluid, Captain
Cleveland turned the prov of his
boat toward America. lie took a
secret route, so as to avoid German
raiders, although he barely missed a
mine while making for the West
Indies. Not long ago the $4,000
mile trip was finished, with the 10
year-old skipper on the deck of his
seventy -siX-year- dream ship. In
the hold was the fortune that his
boyhood fancy had seen.

issue. That idea Is more or less errone'
ous. A billion dollars does not grow on
every bush even in rich and patriotic
United States, and there are not great
clusters of bushes of the billion dollar
variety. A billion dollars is still a large
sum even though our standards oi think
ing have changed materially since the
outbreak of the present world cataelysm,
And when the government asks Tor three
billions al one time the sum is not to be
regarded lightly The request means
that each and every one of us must go
down into our pockets and purchase
these Liberty bonds of the third issue
we cannot say to ourselves that the
other people viii buy the bonds anyway
and so there is no need for us to partici'
pate in the loan. We must each, individ'
ually assume u certain measure OF re-
sponsibility for the success OF this loan.
There is no doubt that there is money
enough in the United States to meet this
demand of the government; and there Is
no doubt that there is patriotism enough
from the Atlantic to the Pacific TO cause
the nation to put this great movement
through with flying colors. The only
thing needed to consummate that end is
the spirit of responsibility on the part
of every man, woman and child. There
fore, we hope that no one in Vermont
will get the notion from the optimistic
utterances from Washington that there
is no need for them to subscribe to the
full limit of their capacity. There is
need for all of us to purchase as many
OF these bonds as possible.
