0uAKERS HOPEFUL OF
VICTORY AT WABASH

Earlham will go to Wabash Satur-
day night confident Of defeating the
nI,ittle Giants" and carrying on the
secondary state basketball honcrs.
Meeks will be back In the regular
lineup by that time and Pitts VIII
nrobably be used in the Dental
game Friday so as to save Meeks Tor
Saturday night Larsh may play the
Dental game in Halls place or at
least part Of the game.
A few weeks ago the Wabash team
won from Earlham on the Coliseum
floor by getting q big lead in the first
half but in the second period the Qua
kers came back strong and with q
little more time could have won. This
was with Meeks out of the game and
pitts had not then taken his place
with ability.
Hall and Lawler are making fne
nair of forwards for Earlham and will
probably make good showing IN the
Wabash game.
Johnson is breaking up many Of
the plays started by the opposing
team and deserves great credit for his
work.
Carey broke loose from his guard
Friday night at Terre Haute and made
eight field goals.
pitts and Meeks are both able to
play the floor guard position well,
and Coach Move has no worries from
this source.
With the entire team working to-
gether the Earlham team may do
the hardest trick possible in basket
ball circles and defeat the Little
Giants" on the Crawfordsville floor.

1t has been mentioned In this col

In the states where. ring contests
are now legal or at least tolerated the
game has been resumed on . bigger
scale than ever before.

as far as ! can learn:
Twenty-round bouts are legal in Ne

Ten-round contests are legal In Wis

Eight-round settos are allowed un.

Gloce contests are permitted In

Bills legalizing boxing bouts are
pending before the legislatures of Cal

Biz battles are allowed in Havana

The proposed Jess Willard-Jack
Dempsey heavyweight battle has
caused considerable comment. but II
cannot be stated that it has helped
create more interest in the game
The boxing public is skeptical about
the bout.

we'll guarded and could only make one
goal.
The Quakers after playing a hard
game the night before began to show
the strain toward the end Of the last
half. but after Meeks was sent in for
Pitts and Larsh for Hall the Earlham
quintet showed it's usual speed.
The guarding of Johnson was ex-
ceptional and Pitts played his usual
fast game.
Mendenhall and Mckenzie, whose
goal shooting almost won the game for
Butler on the Coliseum floor here a
few weeks ago were closely guarded
and could make but three field goals
and the entire team made but four.
Coach Moves men rushed the But
Ter team off it's feet in the first few
minutes of play and rolled up lead
of seven points before the Irvington
team could get started. The first half
ended 9-5 with the Quakers In the
lead.
The second half of the game was
faster than the first as far as the
Quaker onslaught was concerned and
Butler made no points until the last
few minutes of play. In the last few
minutes they made two field and two
foul shots.
This victory over Butler puts Earl
ham in second place in the l. c. A. l..
race with Wabash leading. Next Sat
urday the championship will be de-
cided when the Wabash quintet meets
the Earlham team on the Crawfords-
willie floor.

The facts are, that the directors of

and Springfield. However, the local

to strong northern combination, tor

in such an arrangement Peoria will be

The city certainly has the right to

THE city IS given the power under

protection, regulation and control Of
shade trees, planted or growing upon
the public highways Of the city," con-
tinued Davis.
1T is very broad ordinance in my
estimation"
This question was referred by cour.
ell last night to the city plan commits
sion, which was to meet at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Only matters Of minor importance
outside OF the tree question, were to
come before the members, said Davis
