Butler and Manchester
College Clash Tonight

North Manchester College will be the
opponent Of the Butler five tonight at
the Irvington gymnasium. The visitors
are rated as worthy foes and the Page
men who seem to be playing every night
of late, no doubt will be forced to show
their stuff against the Manchester quin-
tette.
Page has been shifting his men about
considerably in an effort to find the best
combination possible. The Butler coach
has a number of candidates that look
good and 1t seems difficult for him to
decide just what five form the classiest
aggregation. At present COlway at back
guard seems to have the edge on other
candidates for this position. He has
made good when given the chance In
early season games. Black is another
new player who has always stepped into
the game with worlds of fight. AT pres
ent he is alternating at floor guard.
During this coming weekend the But
Ter squad will meet Chicago, Wisconsin
and Purdue. That is surely enough COM
petition for one team to run up against
over one weekend.
