OWLS WIN
AGAIN On
SATURDAY

WHITING. Ind. Feb. 2s.-EIImlnat
Ing all doubt about the superiority
over the Chicago Bsg Five the Whit
ting Owls defeated them again Satut-
Jay night. this time by a score of Is
10 q. The game was exciting all the
way and IN mary respects greater
basketball was displayed than in any
game We have seen,
The Chicago quintet realizing the
value OF Earle Watson to the Owls
used Elliot TO guard him the entire
game. As great q player as watson
= he found Il impossible to eIude
Elliot who was en- him from start to
anish. In former games Earl Wat
son averages better than twenty at
tcmpts at tho basket. In the game
saturday night nc had only two. anc
he had none in the frst half SHORTLY
after the second half he managed to
Get away from Elliot In the middle 81
the floor and sen. the ball through the
counting ring. His only other attempt
q one arm throw with Elliot n
front OF him. This was tho greatest
guarding that we have ever seen
gllot had but one personal foul called
IN him and We seriously doubt whether
the referee was right in this decision.
But while Earl Watson did not score
Potter and Mastney ca1no through
beautifully. Mastney. who has been
aiing for the past two weeks played
star game at center and although
rushed and rushed he more than held
lis own against the playing Of Gus
Griesel and Cochrane who played cen

temper. lie managed to make three
ringers but was off on free throws

sonal fouls were called on the Chicago
outfit in the game. As In the previous
