GREENSBORO WALL0PS
CENTERVILLE FIVE

Greensboro high school defeated
Centerville in the curt ain raiser to the
American Legion contest at the coli
scum Wednesday night, 26 to II. The
chief feature of the contest seemed to
be the closeness of the score which
kept the rooters from the two towns
on edge However, the contest was
not a hair-raiser. as both teams
seemed lost on the coliseum floor
Both teams were short on pass work
and the contest consisted of man
getting the ball and dribbling to shoot.
the other side following suit Plenty
of good material was in evidence bu.
it was not developed.
The game was close throughout.

LEGION 0VERWHELMS
MUNCIE SPECIALS IN
DRACGY ENCOUNTER

The American Legion basketball
squad defeated the Muncie Specials by
the overwhelming score of Al to II,
on the coliseum floor. The word
squad" is used because every man
in uniform for the local legion post
was given short trial in the game.
Muncie was not quite up to expecta-
tions and failed to show much fight
The game was a slow encounter. Mum
Gle said their regular guards were I'M
able to come with the team and there
seemed to be little doubt that they
were telling the truth They had a
much stronger offense than defense
The local team displayed a good
system of pass work and worked well
together. They were unable to con-
meet with the basket at close range
but Porter and O'Neile dropped long
ones in from all angles.
Ashinser Injured
Ashinger, who was substituted for
Mcbride in the second half, received
a dislocated ankle. The injury was
to the same ankle that was injured
during the football season.
Replogle, Muncie forward, was the
star for his team, chalking up five
field goals, all of them from difficult
places. He covered the floor in good
style, but was not in condition to
stand the pace set by the locals.
O'Neile, Porter and Simmons shared
scoring honors, the first two getting
ID points and the latter II. Mcbride
and Bertsch were invincible on the de-
Tense, the mammoth Centerville youth
doing some nifty work under the has
ket. Lineup and score follow:

Convince Department Of
Size Of the Fight.

Washington. March 2S.-The navy's
submarine force was entirely tnade-
Quate to meet the demands Of war
against Germany. Rear Admiral A. w.
Grant, formerly in command of the
Atlantic fleet submarine force, testi-
fled today before the senate commit
tee Investigating the navy's conduct
said. we're too small, Of widely differ
ent types. OF small radius Of action,
inadequa3ely armed and poorly de-
signed as to engines.
1T took nearly two years Of prop
uganda to get the navy department
to realize the importance Of building
submarines capable Of combating the
S00-ton German U-boats." the wit
ness declared.
Admiral Grant said that soon after
the United States entered the war
he was instructed to prepare and send
fifteen submarines abroad. He told
the department.. he declared, that II
such an expedition arrived at the
Azores Islands safely the vessels
would have to be laid up for repairs
virtually all Of the time, as they had
} been since they were commissioned.
-Four submarines Of the "K' type,
finally started overseas, the admiral
said. although one had to be towed
because neither would run. When
the submersibles reached the Azores
the XII was entirely disabled. the
officer said: the K-2 was available for
lfhAited services, the KS slightly bet
ter >or. and the KS entirely ready
for duty.
Most of the opposition to his plan
for larger submersibles before the
war came from the navy general
board. the officer said.
Did you receive any support frory
anybody! asked Senator Pittma3.
Democrat, Nevada.
"Only from one member of the
general board. the house naval com.
mittee and officers serving afloat In

$61,651.S7 COLLECTED DEC. 81.
Co. Collector Gets Largest Amount on
Last Day of Year.

The total amount Of tax money de-
posted by County Collector Arnold
on Wednesday, the last day of the
year, was $61 ,651.S7. Only $18,95s .SS
of this amount was collected in the
office in tn court house; $19,128.07
coming from the c. &. A. Railroad,
and $23,564.92 being sent in by the
Vandalia Banking Association.
The amount collected on the last
day of 1918 was $4,000, but this did
not include the C. & A. taxs, which
came in earlier last year. Wednes-
days collections, exclusive of the
railroad check, were about $1,000
more than those made December 81,
1918. This is probably accounted for
by the fact that the board of qualiza-
tion this year called for an increase
Of 20 per cent in taxes.
