The two will be seen Mt the Occidental

at three cushion and balkline billiards.
Hoppe and Peterson have travelled to-
Rether for several seasons. but the exhi-
billion Is always new. for Peterson is
usually on the heels of the champion in

DebOnairs Swing Back
Into Action Tonight in
Clash With Pair-O-Dice

The Denbonairs, champions of the city
amateur loop. will be seen in action on a
local court tonight for the first time in
two weeks when they stack up against
the Pair o. Dice at the Marion club. Two
strong amateur quintets will play a cur
tain raiser at 7:I5 and the big game will
start promptly at $50. Coach SQuires
has worked hard 10 get his outfit into
buck and O'Cain, forwards; Ettris, CEN
ter, and Schafer and Anderson. guards,
he feels that they will have the choice
side OF the count when the curtain drops.
Anderson is a new addition to the
Deb" squad but in the few games he
has played he looked like a phenom and
evidently has the stuff to step out with
the best guards in the state amateur
ranks before the season closes. The Pair
o. Dice have had only one defeat checked
against them this season, that by the
Leaders in the local district of the state
100 pound tourney, and there is no doubt
but that they will show the Squires
crew a good time before taking the Bit
ter dose.
Manager Evans has entered into nego-
tiations with two fast Louisville (Ky.l
amateur quintets and stated today that
the Debonairs probably will visit the
home of the Colonies for a series of
games before the season closes. r. Wal
ter Jarvis, director of public recreation,
has also asked the Louisville park board
to arrange a series of games between the
Louisville amateur champs and the local
title bearers.
The second meeting of the Debonair
Home association will be held at the
clubhouse tomorrow evening. The stock
sales for the new athletic home are In
creasing daily and it is planned to start
work on the building as soon as weather

Basketball Games and
Track Meet at Wabash

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ind, Feb. "a
Wabash college athletes face a heavy pro-
gram this week with a full schedule OF
track and basketball games. Two basket

The week opens with the Michigan
Aggies here in a basket argument to-
night. The Michigan team defeated Wa

its northern road trip, by a 2-point mar
gin, and local fans are slightly dubious
about the outcome OF this battle.

was that the home players will oc-
cupy the west dugout next season.
In recent years the Indians have been
camped on the north side of the
diamond, but Manager Hendricks be-
lieves that he will be doing a good
turn for those fans who like to sit
