ance at the state tournament today
and took Franklin into camp by
score Of Is to 16. This was the
closest game yet staged, the winning
score being made by sheldon, who
dropped one in from the center Of
the floor in the last minute of play.
Both teams displayed excellent floor
work. Sheldon, the Charlottesville
forward, was the star Of the game.
and is being closely watched by the
dopesters, as he has the qualities of
an all-state forward.
The second afternoon game was
played between Logansport and
Spiceland. the former winning by a
score of 9 to in a game that was
replete with clever guarding. How
ever. this game was not up to the
standard set by the other teams. The
last game OF the afternoon was won
by Kokomo. who took the Brazil
lads over by a score Of II to 6. Brazil
never made a point during the first
half OF the game, but staged a rally
in the second half which netted them
six points while the winners were
gathering five.
In the first evening game Bloom
ington swamped the Manual Train
ing school of Indianapolis by a score
Of 23 TO IL. The Bloomington quin-
tet was never in danger. taking an
early lead and maintaining It
throughout the game. MaraSon and
Rogers. the two forwards Of the win
ming team. played a heady game
throughout. while Rastus Bybee, the
only Negro player in the tournament,
was the star of the losing team.
Things looked bad for the Thorn
town team when they started with
out the services of Cross, their star
guard. He was put out early in the
tournament with a game knee Mas
ters also was injured in the last
game he played. He sprained his
ankle, but despite this fact he put
his ankle<in a cast and played the
game. Thorntown then took the
game from Huntington crew by a
score OF % 10 Il.
They play Charlottesville for the
championship tomorrow. but the in
jurias to their stars is liable to cost
them the championship.
In the last game of the evening
Columbus defeated Rochester by
score of II to 5. They took the lead
at the start and were never headed.
At the end of the first half of play,
the score stood to in favor Of the
boys from Columbus. Gerhart, the
star center of the Columbus team.
came through in the second half
and scored six points for the win
ners. The Columbus boys displayed
the same speed in last nights game
that they did when they defeated

If you have made the trip to the
bottom Of a coal mine and have seen
how the black Jumps are made ready
for use, perhaps you know that jet,
the shiny black substance that you
see so often, made into pretty orna-
ments, beads, buttons, ETC., is closely
akin to coal. The history Of the for
nation of Jet is much like that of
coal. Thousands of years ago, masses
of wood were carried down into the
sea by the rivers, and. there water
logged, it sank and became embedded
in the mud. Pressure and heat and
the salt water wrought the change In
the wood. Even now traces of the
wood structure can be detected in the
jet itself. In years gone by Jet used
to be found in Jumps off the coast of
Yorkshire, the Jet incased in shale
known as jet-rock washed up by the
sea; but now that supply is not suf-
icient and Jet has to be regularly
mined. In Whitby, Yorkshire. the best
Jet is produced, but there are also
important mines in France and Spain
and America, too, has quantities of
the shale, though it is not systemat.
