LAST BASKETBALL
CLUMP OF GAME IS
PLAYED THIS WEEK

Taps" for the basketball season in
Indiana are about to sound, and state
colleges and universities are lined up
for the last general engagement, IL
games in five days.
DePauw and Notre Dame will fight
it out for state runner-up. honors at
Greencastle Tuesday night. DePauw
won an overtime game from the Irish
two weeks ago. Wabash will take on
the Michigan Aggies at Charlottesville,
Tuesday night.
Wednesday night Indiana and Pur-
Cue Will play at Lafayette the last en-
gagement for state honors. Purdue
has the edge. Notre Dame and Wabash
will play Wednesday night, Both
teams will be slightly tired as results
of strenuous games Tuesday night, but
Notre Dame is conceded the better
chance. The Rose Poly-Indiana Dental
scrap at Terre Haute will complete
Wednesdays basketball program. Rich
nond fans favor the Dentals.
The st. Joseph-Vaparaiso scrap at
Valparaiso, is the only game listed for
Thursday night.
Depauw Versus Franklin.
Fridays scrap between DePauw and
Franklin at Franklin, Friday night, will
definitely settle Franklin's claim for
high state honors. Franklin is making
claims on first place. The Baptists
have not met Earlham or Wabash,
however
BY reason of its % to II defeat of
Ohio State, Indiana is favored in the
second engagement of these teams at
Bloomington, Saturday night. Nebras-
ka, by virtue of two-defeats admins
tered Notre Dame and an even break
with Indiana, is picked to have little
difficulty at Valparaiso. Little is
known of the strength Of the Lake
Forrest quintet, which clashes with
DePauw, at Greencastle.

Lee Maeee.

Lee Magee has had one of the most
varied careers in big league baseball,
and If his business career. which he
plans to take up now that he has been
released by the Cubs, proves as check
cred as his diamond life, he is in for
some very interesting times
Magee is 81 years old and has been
in baseball, minor and major league,
for some IA years. He broke into the
understanding to the old record
book - with the Meridian Cotton
States league club in 1906. The sea-
son of 1908 found him with Waterloo
in the Central association, and at the
close of that season the second base
man was drafted by Seattle. In
March, 1909, he was sold to the Car
dinals for less than $1,000, and sent
to Louisville under option, being re-
called the following fall.
He was a fair ball player with the
Cards when the Federal league bob
bed up and Lee was grabbed off by
the army of scouts. With the Brook
Ign Feds he became a star. He was
one of the men that the scribes point
ed to when comparing the outlaw or
ganization to the two major leagues
in strength and general playing abil.
ity. Because of his brilliant work
with the Brookfeds he brought $22,5OC
when the Feds were sold, The Yam
KEGS gladly paying that amount for
him. They also willingly agreed to
pay him a salary of $4,000. He proved
a fair ball player-which he was be
fore the jump-and that was all.
In 1917 he was traded to the
Browns for Armando Marsans. He
did not fill the bill there either, and
in 1918 was sent to Cincinnati in 6
three-cornered deal, which included
Clark of the Reds, and Hendryx OF
the Yankees. He went good with the
Reds, boosting his batting to within
few points of 300 and playing e
good article of ball afield. But the
Reds finally let him go and he served
with three clubs last year, going from
the Reds to the Dodgers and then the
Cubs.

'EARLHAM CLASHES
WITH BUTLER five

The Earlham basketball team will
play Butler at Indianapolis, Friday
night, said Coach Move, Tuesday.
Buffers offer of game arrived Mon
Gay night and Move wired accept
ance.
This means that local fans will not
get to witness the Quaker basket ma
chine in action any more this season,
as but two games remain upon the
schedule, Butler Friday night and
DePauw at Greencastle next Thursday.
Efforts to obtain further games may
be made, however.
At roll call in the coliseum Monday
afternoon, Herb Carey and Bob John
son were missing. The lanky center is
confined to the Eariham hospital with
a slight attack of tonsilitis and John
son is laid up with wrenched knee
Both are expected to be in shape for
fridays game.
Hall May Play Center.
In case complications cause Carey
to be absent Friday, Coach Move is
considering putting Hall at center and
Goar at forward, or else giving Ed,
wards, sub-center, an opportunity
Move is fortunate to have Hall on the
squad. He has the weight and height
to play any position.
Further practice will be held in the
coliseum Wednesday afternoon, as the
mentor has decided to designate
Tuesday as day of rest.
An overwhelming victory for Earl

Referee; Preparations for
Big Show Here Completed

Final preparations for the boxing
show Thursday night in the coliseum,
have been made by Billy Benson, pro-
mOter.
Jimmy Dalton, who meets Joe Riley
of Cincinnati, in the final bout Of the
evening, arrived in Richmond Monday
and will finish training in company
with Yank Druley, at Benson's gym.
Both scrappers, in their workouts
Monday night, looked fit.
Lefty Pretsch, who referees all box
ing shows held in Dayton, and who
will referee Thursday. has written the
following letter in regards to Joe
Riley: This boy is a conner in the
lightweight division. He is tall, rangy
and a splendid two-handed boxer, be-
ing able to hit from any angle. He
is one Of those aggressive boys that
keeps right after his opponent, never
giving his antagonist an opportunity
to set himself He can also take a
punch without flinching. The Rich
nond fans will surely see a worth
