: Everybody and the Dog
Expected to Attend Game
Between Wabash-Earlhdm
Northumberland

The Earlham-Wa basketball
scrap at the coliseum Friday night
has aroused much interest. The only
Quakers who have not announced
their intention of attending are the
engineer, a sick patient and tho nurse.
The scarlet machine has been drill
ing hard to recover old-time form for
Fridays game. Since the loss of Etter
and Spencer, the Little Giants have
been materially slowed.
Coach Move put his proteges
through a stiff workout in the coli
scum Monday afternoon, but the per-
Torrance was far from their usual
standard. This can be expected, how
ever, when the three weeks layoff is
considered.
Tuesday will be spent at the Earl
ham gym and Wednesday the COLI
scum again will be the scene OF the
embattered Quakers' trials and tribu-
lations.
A limited number or reserve seats for
the game will go on sale at the West
colt pharmacy Wednesday morning.
These are not expected to last longer
than Wednesday night as local In
terest is high.

STATE BASKETBALL
CARD INTERESTING

This weeks state DaSketDall Caru
.is the beginning Of the end Of the
1920 season.
Practically every collegiate team in
teen games are scheduled, seven of
which will be interstate contests.
Purdue, DePauw and Notre Dame will
travel to the West and far West to
uphold the prowess Of Hoosier bas-
ketbalI. The Notre Dame-DePauw
basket tilt at South Bend Tuesday
night, Is expected to have a direct
bearing upon the championship.
Following the Notre Dame scrap,
Coach Buss will entrain for Lansing,
4, Michigan, where the Aggies are met
Wednesday night. Dope favors the
Hoosier team.
Three games are listed for Thurs
day nights program, the most import
AIT OF which IL the Observation-Disclosures

Poly scrap at Terre Haute Thursday
night. Should Butler hand the En-
Sgiueers a decisive trimming, Earlham
stock would advance.
Notre Dame again bobs into the
basketball imelight, this time in far
away Dubuque, Iowa. The Iowa team
has a hefty rep" in Iowan circles,
but the Irish are picked to win by vir-
tue of comparative scores. The Irish
End Nebra ska are scheduled for Sat
urday night.
Six battles are scheduled for Friday
night, notable among which is the
Fnrdue-Iowa scrap at Iowa City. Coach

is doubtful as to the outcome of Fri
days scrap.
Butler and State Normal meet fol
the second time this season at Terre
IIaute. Friday night. Franklin en-
thusiasts have been claiming state
champ honors and Fridays clash with
DePauw will either silence these
claims or else give them a more solit

MOVE OR DROWN, CHOICE OF
OSBORN, OHIO VILLAGE
(By Associated Press)

OSBORN, Ohio, Feb. 17-Osborn
citizens went to the polls today to de-
eide whether the village is to pass
out Of existence or be moved to an
other site. Land on which the town
stands has been condemned to make
way for the Miami valley flood con.
servation project. The sum of $500, 900
would be required to move the village
to the proposed site in Green county,
one and one half miles southeast of
here. If majority Of the citizens be-
lieve the sum required to move the
town is too great for them to assume,
the village is to be abandoned by all
its inhabitants when the conservation
project is completed next summer
There are 314 families in the town,
which has a population of about
1000.

.fOPPONENTS OF JACK
DEMPSEY STARTED
As bANTAMWEICHTS

Willie Meehan, the only man to
beat Jack Dempsey since the latter
emerged from obscurity. and Georges
Carpenter, who il matched with the
champion. have one thing in common
Both were bantamweights when they
entered the ring and have competed
in every class from bantam to heavy
weight. They are two of the very
few men in ring history who can boast
of such q record. Carpenters record
is the more remarkable, as he not
only competed in every division, but
won the championship of his country
in every class as he went along. Nee
han always has been q second rater
and his victory over Dempsey is the
only bright spot on his record.
Substantial increases for the season
of 120 will be given to all the mem

or not they have already signed long

for next season will not be forgotten"
Stoneham said. I'VE will confer with
them and any differences will be
settled amicably. AS for the coming
pennant race, it is too early to start
predicting now, but 1t is safe to say
that tho Giants will be up there

turnes for the season are in
