H. s. IS DEVELOPING
STONE WALL DEFENSE

Fridays game with Spiceland is as
suming great importance to Richmond
high school students. A victory over
the Quaker prep school team will put
Richmond in the front rank as a con-
tender for district honors, while even
a close score will suffice to back Rich
mond's claim as a contender. r.,
Deak Reagan, who in spare time
acts as referee at local basketball
games, coaches the Spiceland basket
squad and incidentally is principal Of
the school. He predicts Fridays game
will be a hard fought and close affair,
as Richmond has shown vast improve
ment since the two teams last met on
basket arena.
The defense used so successfully
against the technical high FIVE, is ex-
pected to hold the Spiceland offensive
in check. For the past two seasons,
it has been defense that won most
games for the r. H. S.
Bloomington was unable to pene-
trate the Red ard White five man de-
Tense with much success last spring
at Lafayette, and as result narrowly
averted defeat. Bloomington won the
state title and Richmond gave this
five the hardest battle of the tourney.
Liberty was unable to make a field
goal in the finals of the district meet
last spring, and Connersville made but
two in the seni-finals. Coach Fries is
gradually working the five man de-
Tense of this years team to quality
with last year.
Excluding the Spiceland four more
tits are listed on the r. H. S. sched-
ule Feb. IS. Richmond plays a re-
turn game with Huntington. while
/ Feb. 20 will see Steele high, of Day
ton, here. Feb 81, Richmond plays
Manuel high, at indianapolis. The
final game on the schedule before the
district tourney, will be staged on the
coliseum floor with Shelbyville High
school as the opposition.

.DEPAUW GAME OUT:
: EARLHAM READY FOR.
FRANKLIN CONTEST

Cancellation Of the Earlham-De-
Pauw basketball game for Friday
night was a great disappointment to
Earlham rooters and Richmond bas-
ketball fans All were confident
good scrap was forthcoming.
Coach Move is reported as rapidly
improving from his attack of the 'flu"
and is expected to be coaching the
squad soon. Raymond Johnson. back
guard and captain. is also laid up with
an attack of the flue and is forbidden
to play basketball for at least two
weeks. The rest of the Quaker squad
is reported to be in good physical
shape.
An effort will be made to induce
DePauw to play the scheduled game
with Earlham on the local coliseum
floor instead of at Greencastle. The
local floor is larger and the building
can seat a much larger number Of
fans. II unsuccessful, Earlham will
play the game at Greencastle.
Unless the flu develops into a ser1-
GUS epidemic. the Earlham games
with Franklin. at Franklin, on Feb.
13, and with Butler on Feb. IA, at In.
games are I. c. A. L. contests and by
elevated.
Although Rose Poly trimmed Earl
ham on two occasions, State Normal
soundly walloped the Engineers and
was in turn defeated by both Butler
and the Indiana DentaIs. AS Earlham
walloped both these teams, the dope
indicates Rose Poly has an awful
"jinx' over the Quakers.
The next home game Of the season
will undoubtedly bring out the larg-
est crowd of the season. Wabash
plays return game on Feb. 20. Re-
served seats will go on sale next
week, as the entire coliseum will prob
ably be reserved. High school plays
Steele high of Dayton. as a curtain
raiser to the Earlham-Wabash game,
anG Richmond basketball fans will be
treated to the best array of basketball
of the season.

BOXING SHOW, FOR
BASEBALL BENEFIT
TO Be STAGED HERE

Both Jimmie Dalton and Yank
Druley will be seen in the next boxing
tourney to be staged. probably on Feb,
%. according to an announcement by
Billy Benson, promoter. Although
forced to accept the short end Of the
decision in the last tourney, both
scrappers won the loyalty of Richmond
fans.
Tommy Carter, Of Dayton, who
fights in the same fashion as Dalton.
will probably be the opponent Of Dali
ton in the 10 round main go of the
next tourney. Carter weighs 1875
pounds and has met several fast scrap
per. He and frankie Nessler fought
10 rounds to draw, but Carter lost a
shade in the next engagement.
Yank Druly will be matched for 10
rounds with either Billy Voss, of Gin
cinnati, or Battling Checo, Muncie.
Both these scrappers possess good rep
utations and will not weigh over 142
pounds. Druly won Richmond fans,
by his game stand against the 20
pound heavier Walters, but the COM
ing tourney will see Yank pitted
against man of his own weight
A fast eight round go is promised
when Levi LEVEL, of Anderson and
Mugsy Green, of Dayton, Ohio, hook
up. Both are good scrappers, but

Battling Ortega, the Mexican weller

a little fellow than heavier man. Tom

afraid that through some accident he
might lose and become a laughing

any of these conditions, you will
save yourself much annoyance
and the pain that comes from
the fiery itching, if you will real

the blood in this way.
The sensible treatment that
will show real results is a rem

thoroughly and kill the germs
that cause the trouble. And for
this purpose no remedy ever
made can approach the record
of S. S. S., the fine old fifty-year

Must l Continue to Suffer From
the Fiery Itching?

This is indeed the burning
question with those who are the
victims of itching, burning, fiery
irritations that break out all
over the skin, causing its victim
to itch and scratch with almost
constant torture. Going from
bad to worse, with only a tenn
porary lull in the suffering, you
have about reached the conclu-
sion that you are doomed to have
this terrifying disease as your
life companion.
If you have followed the usual
course of treatment, you have
doubtless used lotions, ONT
ments, salves and washes abund-
antly, in an effort to get some
sort of relief from your torture.
Probably you have received tenn
porary relief from the fiery itch
ing by the use of local treatment,
but your experience will be like
that of thousands of others who
have found that such treatment
does not reach the cause of the
disease, and cannot for this rea-
son make any progress toward a
cure.
While it is true that the WISH
BILE location of this trouble is ap-
parently on the skin, you must
look deeper for its origin, and
until you locate its starting
point, and direct your treatment
there, you will continue to suf-
fer.
The skin is fed from the
blood, and upon the condition of
the blood depends upon whether
or not your skin will be healthy
and free from boils, pimples,
scaly irritations, red eruptions
and other disfiguring and un-
slightly disorders. So that when
