EARlHAM 70 PLAY
ENTALS FRIDAY

Two weeks Of continuous practice
are required before the Eariham bas-
ketball team will be able to display
the type Of basketball for which the
uQakers are noted. Coach Move
said Tuesday However. he feels that
Earlham will come out on top in the
scrap with the Indiana Dentals at
the coliseum Friday.
The moderate measures adopted at
Mondays meeting made 1t possible
for the Earlham-Dental game to be
played Friday evening. The rulings
permit the use Of the coliseum from
6 to 10 o'clock each evening, provid-
ing the floor is not in use during the
day.
Efforts are being made by Movie to
get the use Of the coliseum floor
either Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
The Earlham faculty has granted the
basketball squad the use Of the Earl
ham gym every afternoon this week.
Gym classes that have the use of
the gym floor, will spend their time
in cross country running.
Lineup Undecided.
The lineup that will face the Den
| tails at the tip-off has not been de-
cided. L. :er and Hall have compos.
ed the first squad in recent workouts
but Hadley and Goar are showing
we'll. The second team handed the
first string a trimming the last two
scrimmages held. If Lawler and Hall
start the game, then Goar and Hadley
probably will be used in the second
:, half Carey will no doubt be used
| by Move during the entire game
Pitts seems the best bet for floor
guard, while Johnson was considered
the best bask guard in the state last
year. Fades and Davis are worthy
contestants for the latter position
! however.
With the exception of the 16 players
composing the first squad. all basket
ball candidates will be dismissed
from practice for the remainder o.
the week. All time will be spent By
Coaches Movie and Higgins in trying
to crowd 2 weeks practice for thu
first squad into one week.

An Old Recipe
To Darken Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns, Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays We simplySbsk at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no enc
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge OF
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger.-Adv.
