| GREENCASTLE. Ind. March A.
| "Fuzz" Cannon fought the fight of his
life and played the game of his career to
lead crippled Tiger combination up for
2S-to-27 victory over the Little Giants
of Wabash in a terrific Struggle on the
De PAW floor last night.
Cannon was here, there and everywhere,
ca frying the fight, for De PAW when
things were going worst against them, or
standing out in prominence as their one
and only hope when a De Pauw offensive
drive was launched. He was deadly ac-
curate from the foul line, making eight
or ten shots, and was right in there with
the necessary punch in the second session
when a ray of De PAW hope busted
through the dark cloud of apparent de-
feat.
De PAW lost Gipson, their crack for
ward and best defensive bet, in a bad
mix-up in the center of the floor after
three seconds of play. "Gippe" jumped
to receive a long, high pass, and as he
came down he and Crater, the Wabash
back guard who had come up from his
beat, collided. GipsOn was thrown to
the floor, landing head first. The blow
rendered him unconscious and he was
carried from the floor to the Tiger dres-
sing room by his teammates. Coach Buss
sent Gipson back with but a minute to
go in the first session, but he was stu
dazed and could not come back for the
second session. Late in this period
however, he was called on again, but was
ruled out Of the game after minutes
play on protest of Coach Vaughan of Wa
bash, as he had already been substituted
once.
BUSS LOSES
SECOND MAN.
This "boner" by Coach Buss also lost
bin Laughlin, who had been taking Clip
sons place and who had also gone the
limit on substitutions. Laughlin was
playing q game that only vlctory-mad
youngSter can play when Buss called him
out the second time and his loss from the
club made Cann0n's job a harder one.
Alice took Laughlin's place and played a
credltable game, as did every member Of
the team.
Adams and Goldsberry were the shin
ing lights of the Wabash play, but Meth
er of them showed their usual form.
Both Adams and Goldsberry thrilled the
crow dwith clever field goals, then both
Of them missed several easy chances 10
score from under the hoop. Goldsberry
also missed four chances from the foul
line, while Adams passed up three.
To Butch" Burns, captain of the Wa
bash team, goes unlimited honors for his
great craftsmanship, shown when GipsOn
Coach Buss tried to revive the star In
time to get him back into the contest
and they were off the floor more than the
designated minutes for time out" but
back to the floor Burns told him to let
them have all the time they wanted.
De PAW seemed to hesitate for few
moments after resumng play and there
was many a slip In their play during the
entire first half, which ended with
Wabash holding a 16 to 70 lead.
Laughlin could not get going In the
first session. but when he came out for
the second there was fire in his eye and
he jumped in TO play as good a floor game
as any man in uniform. Cannon also
cut loose with more speed in this
sion and played a game that win never
be forgotten. In this second half "Fuzz"
himself outscored the entire Wabash
team. He got four field goals aud the
same number Of fouls. against four field
goals and three fouls for Wabash. Men
denhall and White each got a field goal
to make up the De Pauw deficiency for
the first half.
CANNON GETS
THREE STRAIGHTs.
The real turning point in the battle
came late in the second half when Can
non snagged three field goals In rapid
succession, one from the distance aud
two from under the hoop. after some
neat dribbling. After the third effort he
suffered a wrenched knee and the De
PAW ambulance squad" made n sec
