team announces that his team will be In

bring his team together with the Crave
fordsvilIe High school team and decide
the one big topic of conversation in
Montgomery county-which has the best
basketball team?
1t is conceded by all that n these two
teams meet It will he ono of the fastest
and best games of the tourney. Wingate
has two men on it's team this year who
gave Lebanon quite scare I'm the tourna
ment Mt Bloomington two years ago, this
team lending over Lebanon by a 5-to ;
score Mt the first half but by losing two
men in the last half it went down to
defeat These two men, who have won
so much comment over the state, are
Goldsberg, center, and II. Crane, floor
guard.
Fans from all over Montgomery county
will be greatly disappointed II these two
teams should not get together. Wingate
has tried every way to get games with
Crawfordsvill but they have always re
fused to play. The local team has been
practicing on the Wabash gymnasium
court for the past few weeks getting
ready for the big meet at indianapolis.

The u. S. Marine Corps Turns Out 1.-TWO
Fisted" Chaps Who Can Use Their
Heads; Gives Plenty of Travel, Adven-
ture and Excitement.

Corporal. what are your ribbons
for?
Tell me what each OF 'em means.
One ! got in the Spanish War,
And one in the Philippines.
One I got in the Boxer brush
For maxim the Chinks be good.
And one for helpln' to block the
Boche
In bloody old Belleau Wood.
Corporal. IL 1 should join your
corps,
o what would it do for me?
You'd learn ito range this wide
world o'er''
BY sky and by earth and sea
To be at home I'm lands that lie
Where tho East and West
Worlds meet:
To front the best man. eye to eye,
And stand on your own two feet.
o Corporal. tell me. straight. what
Kind
or a man the Marine Corps
makes?
The sort of chap you're glad to find
At your side when a rough house
breaks
The sort of a chap who can crack
a joke
And laugh when the sky looks
black,
The kind who'll share his last lone
smoke
Or give .1ou the shirt of his
back.
Have you ever seen a Marine
swinging by, and envied him his
carefree air, the breadth OF the
shoulders and the depth OF the
chest under his well-ftting uni
form? Is it any wonder the girls
have soft spot in their hearts
for these soldiers of the sea-?
That Marine didn't Just happen
to be the husky lad he is. He is
merely a talking example of
what the Marine Corps can do for
the ordinarily healthy man. May
be when he came into the service
he was a little stoop shouldered.

he was working at a job he didn't
care for, didn't have anybody to
pal around with"
The Marine Corps is a body of
men, carefully trained to use both
hands, both feet and their heads.
They are the sort of men who can
take Vera Cruz or form a guard of
honor for the Prince of Wales, and
DO both jobs shipshape. They are
blood brothers to the French For
eign Legion, the Pennsylvania
State Constabulary, the Canadian
Mounted Police and the Texas
Rangers. They are princes of good
fellows, and they're wildcats when
they're riled.
