TRIANGLES WILL need
TO EXTEND TO DEFEAT
LOCAL LEGION QUINTET

Final practice was held Tuesday
night by the Legion basketball team.
in preparation for the battle with the
Hartford City Triangles on the Coli
scum floor. Wednesday night.
The Legion will meet a worthy OPP
ponent in the Triangle five and viii
have TO play up to the limit TO come
out on the long end of the score. The
Triangles are touted as being one of
the fastest Independent teams in the
state and are playing a fast brand or
game.
Several combinations have been
tried out by the Old Gold and Black,
and all seem 10 work fairly smoothly.
The full squad will be on the floor
Wednesday and any member may be
called upon to go into the game The
squad will be cut 10 10 men next week
and much depends upon the showing
made in Wednesdays game as to who
will be released.
It is probable that Logan and Win
tiers will take care of the forward
positions at The start of the game.
Logan is an old Earlham star, having
played several Years on the Maroon
team and later on the old Quaker In
dependent team Logan is small but
overcomes this handicap by his speed
and headwork.
May Start Winters
Harry Winters. a new man on the
squad. probably will be started at the
other forward position as he has been
showing up we'll in the practice SEES
sions. This IS Winters first appear
ance in a Richmond uniform but he is
well known here having played for
several years on the Cambridge City
high school basketball team. He also
starred on the State Normal five for
several seasons, He is fast and pos
sesses a good eye for the basket,
The pivot position will be taken care
of by Shel Simmons. who also held
down the same position last year
Shell is playing a much better game
this year than ever before and is way
gut in front of the other candidates
Tor the place. He is working the floor
well and dropping the ball in the net
tings from all angles.
Pitts Getting in Shape.
Pitts and Bertsch will be started in
the guarding department, with Pitts
working the floor and Bertsch under
he basket. Pitts was out of the game
last year and has been rather slow in
rounding into shape, but he is rapidly
getting into his old stride. He is be
ing hard pushed by Mcbride who
seems to be having the same difficult
ty A few more weeks should see a
real battle for the floor guard posi-
ton.
Bertsch continues to play his usual
brand OF game under the basket and
seems TO have an edge on the other
men although Nash Higgins is push
ing him hard at all times. Both men
are well qualified for the place.
Higgins, Stenger and Little, who
were unable to be with the squad last
week are back in the fold and will I'M
doubtedly strengthen the Old Gold. 1t
is probable that these three men will
be given a chance to show their wares
in the game against Hartford City,
Wednesday.
The game will be played immediate
~ following the game between the
Camera Shop Kewpies and the Ander-
son All-Stars which is scheduled for
100 o'clock
Hartford City will present a very
formidable lineup having two former
college stars in the lineup. Wilson
floor guard played several seasons
on the Harvard varsity squad, posses
ses a good eye and is very fast. The
backyard position is taken care of by
Manner, who held down that position
on the Purdue team in 1915. He is {
very good defensive man and the
Legion forwards will find him very
hard to get around
