EARLHAM HOPES TO
WIN over DENTkLS

Although the Earlham basketball
machine has not rounded into last
years form, Quaker hackers seem to
be confident that their favorite will
be returned winner in the Dental scrap
Friday night.
This, says Coach Move, is false
conception of the strength of the
Dental quintet, as the Indianapolis
team is composed of letter men and
has the advantage of weeks con-
tinuous practice. Move thinks that
Earlham will win but is not counting
upon an easy victory.
Hall and Lawler, star performers OF
last years team, will proba bly, play
forward. They will not play the en-
tire game, but will be taken out to
give Hadley and Goar a chance.
Carey will hold down the tip-off posi-
ton while Cy<Pitts and Johnson will
be seen in action at the guarding end
Final practice will be held in the
Earlham gym Thursday afternoon and
then the squad will be dismissed until
the game. A snappy workout was
held in the coliseum, Wednesday
evening, and the offensive workers
demonstrated to Coach Move that
they could hit baskets.
In a short scrimmage the varsity
made two more field goals than the
scrubs, but that is all that can be
said for the varsity quintet. The Sec
onds had more chances at the basket
but insisted upon missing. Their team
work was equal to the pace set by the
Lawler- Hall-Pitts combination.
The new basketball uniforms have
arrived and the Quakers will be able
to display them in Fridays scrap.
These uniforms are but little changed
from last years.
Preparations are being made to ac-
commodate the largest opening night
basketball crowd that has ever
thronged the coliseum. The doors
will be open at GAS.

Here IS the Latest
Way to Get Rich
i'm the Ice Trade

John Shanefelt, 1928 Marietta St.
decided to go into the ice business.
He thought ne would work up an ice
route first so made the rounds of a
number of saloons in the western
section Of the city. Knowing that
whisky needed considerable ice
around il believed he could best find
out what amount of ice was needed
by ascertaining whether whisky was
sold in the various places.
He stole 60 cents worth of tickets
from his employer and sold them TO
saloonkeepers-not il drink pro-
prietors-but was caught in the act.
In city court he told Judge Frank
Gilmer he stole the tickets while
drunk, and as evidence of the fact
that he was drunk cited the follow
ing locations as emporiums where
whisky can be obtained: Walnut and

northeast corners; Harris and Divi-
