start to finish. Mic Wintheiser headed
the fat team while Ruder Gluth was
the leader on the slim side. In spite
of the avoirdupois displayed on Win
thelsers team, the boys carried Old
the game in amazing manner. It is
conceded however, that many of these
gentlemen were college students in
former days, and are we'll versed in
the skill Of basket ball. Among that
number being, DR.. w. w. Garlic,
Druggist M. j. Bertrang, DR.. John
Haskins, Andrew Tauer and Mic Win
/ theiser. Jesse Slaynaker, the wrest-
Ter OF renoun, and Rudy Gluth were
about the only players who we've ex-
perienced on the lean side However,
Jess, wore a smile that wouldn't rub
off, doing the whole performance. At
times the scene represented game
of leap-frog rather then basket BALL
The large crowd laughed themselves
sick at the wonderful antics of the
players. The score stood 1920 in fav-
or of the Fat team.
One of the cleanest and fastest
games of basket ball of the season
was played here Saturday evening
when our local Legion team tried to
get away the championship from the
Marshall Legion team. And they did
it too. The fact that many of the
Marshall players were much larger
then our boys, did not interfere what
ever in Morgan carrying away the
honors. Our little city is very proud
of the skill and swiftness displayed
by our Legion team. They also have
the name Of playing fair and clean
game. At times the game was very
exciting as it was difficult for our
boys to make many easy baskets, with
such husky Marshall guards. Marshall
however were good losers and always
came up smiling even in the face OF
defeat. The visiting team played a
bit rough in the first half but found it
did not get them any where in the
game. The final score was 16 to IL
in favor Of our team.

Morgan citizens who attended the
double basket ball game at the city
hall Friday evening had an evening of
rare fun. The game between the town
girls and the high school basket ball
team was rather one sided, consider
ing the fact that the school girls have
played every team for miles around
and won every game. While few of
the town girls have not been in the
ring for years and a few filled in the
vacancies, just in order to promote the
game, those who had never played be-
FORE Consequently, the town girls put
up good game and the champion bas-
ket ball team only won in a score of
4-21. The last half of the evenings
sport was somewhat spoiled by the
electric light service going on "bum"
The hall being in total darkness for
fully half an hour. The large crowd
of spectators kept their seats until the
lights were restored once more. The
game between the Fat and Lean bus
mess men was a regular scream from

CLOSE SECOND TO WILSON.

The Des Moincs Register dOtes upon
finding n situation that promises tt
embarrass Senator Lodge and is now
having lot Of fun with the Mass;.
cLUsetts statesman because President
Harding has recommended the ratifica.
ton of the Colombia treaty, which
Senator Lodge opposed when Wilson
recommended it. But the senator and
bis friends may say that conditions
have changed. That is what the Reg
lister said when Wilson was Hopping
back and forth almost daily. When
tie great weather vane changed from
Il man too proud to fight to a very
Ibloodthirsty warrior. just itching to get
al the Germans, the transformation
was made almost in the twinkling of an
eye. The day before the election in
1916 The was keeping lis out of war
for votes. But the day following the
election he was planning for the war
that lit would be impossible for us to
avoid His lightning back ira cking on
preparedness, too, was some stunt. as
was his espousal of universal suffrage
after having opposed it life time.
Really, if Senator Lodge changes
often enough and quick enough and de-
cissive enough the Dcs Moines Register
and others of its bent may be expected
to later ON hail the senate leader as
the marvel of the ages. as the greatest
man ever, as the savior of the world
etc, etc. 1t requires some acrobatic
skill to equal the stunts of Woodrow
Wilson, but Senator Lodge seems to he
acquiring considerable ability along
that line.
After Mr.. Wilson stole the league of
nations idea from Mr.. Taft he stuck
to it tenaciously, hoping, of course. to
win the plaudits of the world as the
great one to lead the people out of
bondage. He was even unwilling that
else should share i'm the glory.
SC he took along with him to Paris a
lot of fellows whom he could control.
who could he depended upon to do his

bidding without complaint. In the mat
ter of support of the league Mr.. Wilson
has been consistent since he was con-
verified to his present view and Senator
Lodge, too. has been consistent in his
opposition to the league as planned by
Gen. SHUTS and seconded by Wilson.
Thus Senator Lodge is maintaining the
parallel Like Wilson, he can change
with lighting rapidity when he wants
to, and, like Wilson, he can hang on
like bulldog when he gets his mind
set to it, as his opposition to the league
covenant proves.
If the senator isn't careful he will in
vite the undying allegiance Of the Des
Moines Register by his marvellous
speed in negotiating mastery flops.

Judging from reports from Des
Moines the constitutional convention
will be held early in 1923 and rep.
resentation will be on the basis of
representative districts. The matter is
in the hands Of a subcommittee at
present and that seems to be the pro-
gram agreed upon. 1t is held by men,
bers Of the legislature that an earlier
convention would be too expensive, as
it would require special election and
if the members We're nominated by
primary it would also require a spe-
cial primary, entailing an expense of
from 100000 to 100000. The farm
ers are especially interested in the

they want the constitution amended
