Basketball in high schools in this
district is becoming the leading sport
event. Practically every student in
the schools is talking about the pros
poets for winning team for the sea-
son. Many of the schools have very
bright prospects. while others do not
seem to be so bright.
Many of the teams have played their
first game, and are striking a rapid
stride, which they hope to carry
through the entire season. They have
the majority of their games scheduled
with teams in this district.
Every team is looking forward to
the district tournament which will be
held the first week in March, probably
at Richmond, which seems to be the
only logical place for the big event.
Although the real strength of the
teams will not be known until after
the first of the year. Each team is
planning to stage a battle royal for
first honors for this district.
Cambridge Prospects Good.
Cambridge City has prospects for a
very good season and have played two
games this season which they have
won. The team has only one regular

every former man of the team out O
school this year. Only one regular
and two second string men were no

coach faces difficult task in building
up a winning combination.
Freeman, star floor guard last sea
son, is the only regular left for thi
year. Several new men are out TO
the team this year and are shown;
much promise. They will open thet
season Friday against the Modoc team
at Whitewater.

Green's Fork is also showing much
promise for this year, having five of

year. Carter, l.. Beeson, l.. Lindley,

last year; while Cause T. Beeson, M.

giving the regulars a strong run for
their places.
Lose Two Games.
Only two regulars were lost to the
Fountain City basketball team by
graduation last year, and with Hatfield
back in school, prospects for a good
team are very good Hatfield will

LIGHT WEEKS WORK
POINTS QUAKER TEAM
FOR DAYTON BATTLE

After light weeks work the Earl
ham football eleven is rested and pre-
pared for their next gridiron dual OF
the season with Dayton university on
Reid Field Saturday afternoon. The
only scrimmage of the week was held
Thursday afternoon. The scrubs furn-
ished the opposition.
A large part of the weeks work has
been spent on the tackling end of the
game, which was shown to be one of
the Quakers' weak points in the last
game. In the practice Thursday eve
ming the varsity line gave special at
tention to tackling the scrub backs
with the result that the latter now
agree that the first stringers can
make a wicked tackle.
Coach Ray Move anticipates hard
fought contest with the Daytonians
this week although the seasons COM
parative scores seem to give the Quak-
ers the edge. But Coach Move is not
believer in dope especially when the
opposing team will outweigh his
eleven 10 pounds to the man. The
same lineup that started on Monday
probably will be used, Move stated.

juries. The KaZooks were evidently
told to lay for the man whose tackling
worried the Butler backs.
The team has been outfitted in new
brown Atwood sweatshirts by the ath-
letic department. The Quaker scrubs
are looking forward to practice
game with the high school team next
Tuesday. Rivalry has sprung up be-
tween the two elevens and each hopes
by this means to prove its supremacy
once and for all.

Reid Field Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock, for a battle which was to be
one of the hardest and most important
which has been fought by the Red and
White team this year.
Coach Stenger's proteges took the
field a great favorite and the support
given them by the loyal students was
so intense that the uproar continued
even after the first kickoff. After
the first excitement Of the game was

LEGION PLAYS FIRST
HOME GAME NOV. III;
STRENGTHENS TEAM

Armistice day will see the Ameri-
can Legion football team in action in
its first home game of the season,
when they stack up against the Green
vile, Ohio, eleven. The game will be
the first game of a double-header,
Earlham and Muskingum playing the
second game which will be the annual
Homecoming game for Earlham.
The legion has several new men out
for the team that should give them
added strength. Herb Logan. ex-Earl-
ham star, will play the quarterback
position, and under his generalship,
the team should play a much better
brand of ball than formerly. Mcbride
has been secured to play an end posi-
ton, which will also add strength. Bill
Hartman made his first appearance in
a legion uniform last Sunday at Shell
byville and shows promise of being a
valuable addition to the line.
Practice will be held at the play
grounds on South Twenty-second
street Sunday morning at 8 o'clock,
and every man is requested to report
on time. A stiff workout will be CIV
en- the men, ending with long scrim-
mage. II is probably that practice will
be held every night next week, to get
the men in the best possible condition
for the fray Friday.
Determined to Win.
The Red and Black are determined
to break into the win column at the
expense of the Greenville eleven, and
with week of hard practice should
be able to grab off the large end OF
the score. Last year Greenville de
feated the locals on the Ohioniar
gridiron, by one touchdown. Every
effort will be made to avenge this de
feat and the ex-soldiers are planning
10 send the Buckeyes home with a de
cisive defeat.
Reserved seats will be constructed
for the game Friday, and will go or
sale the first of next week. Single
admission will be so cents and 70
served seats IS cents.
Four games remain in the legion;
schedule including the game Frida!
with Greenville. The following Sun
day the team will journey TO Hamilton
where they will play the American
Legion team OF that city. The fol
lowing Sunday will see them playing
Greenville, Ohio, at Greenville. Tit
fourth and last game of the season
will be played Sunday, Nov. 27, will

GREB TO MEET
CHARLEY WEINERT TONIGHT

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Charley Vein
ert, of Newark, N. j., is to meet Harry
Greb, Pittsburgh, in a Is round bout
tonight. Fay Keiser, Cumberland,
Md, and young Bob Fitzsimmons, son
of the late champion heavyweight, are
scheduled for an eight round contest.
The Weinert-Greb affair derives its
interest from the fact that both men
have been clamoring for a chance at
the light heavyweight title held by
Georges Carpenter. The nearest
Weinert came to the title was in a
bout with Carpenters sparring part
ner, Paul Journee, whom he knocked
out.

The Tax Problem.
(From the Dillon Hcrald)

(F'rom the Dillon Ecrald)
The tax problem simply will not
down. 1t is being agitated from
one end Of the State to the other.
The pressure Of public sentiment
has been q long time coming, but
it is here and the General Assembly
that meets next month Will be face
to face with the biggest problem
it has had to deal with in years.
The people have found out that tho
burden Of taxation is resting on the
shoulders Of a few-that visible
property is carrying more than its
just proportion Of the load-and
they ere demanding relief. Pro-
gressive tax measures were intro
duced at the last session Of the
General Assembly, but they failed
to pass. Some died in committee,
while others were left on the calen-
dar. Some Of these will be revived
at next months session, While new
measures will be introduced. The
demand is fop an inheritance tax.
an income tax, an occupation tax,
a gasoline tax and q small tax on
luxuries and anusements. 1t IS
CLAIMED by well-informed authori-
ties that the State can raise enough
revenue from these sources to run
the government and not levy a
single mill On real estate. North
Carolina worked out the problem
on similar lines. and the State of
North Carolina does not levy tax
on real estate for State purposes.
The people are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the General AS
sembly has di!lE-dallied with the
tax problem long enough and the
time has come for tax reform meas
ures that will give the owner OF
visible property some relief. They
will watch this General Assembly
and mark the men who block tax
reform legislation.
