Local Y. NJ. c. A. Five.

etballers 70 South Bend Thursday

fans will have the opportunity OF
witnessing two OF the greatest anna
teur teams ever assembled together.
Wabash has a habit Of excelling in
basketball. Its history In this sport
dates back many years, aud the
present season is no exception. AL
though defeated by Purdue early in
the season. Wabash defeated De-
Paw, the team which bested the
Lafayette tossers. and in midseason
form is easily considered the class Of
the state IL not one Of the beet in
the middle west.
The Little Giants are ranked high
this year Their present record
charges them with but one defeat
and they have already disposed Of
the strongest teams In the central
part OF the state.
Goldsbcrry Real Star.
Goldsberry is one Of the main
cogs in Coach Vaughan's machine.
This man starred for Wabash dur
Ing the past football season and was
picked by one critic as second
choice on his all western team. His
basketball ability is even greater
than his gridiron performance.
A changed lineup by Vaughan has
given the Wabash team great driv-
ing power. Goldsberry has been
shifted from center 20 floor guard
and his remarkable defense under
the basket has already marked him
as a contender for all-state honors.
At center, Wabash has Peare, who
IS shifty a good basket shot and
man OF all around ability.
Wabash, moreover, has two for
wards which will cause the "Y"
outfit some trouble. Adams. their
star forward. has an uncanny eye
for the basket, besides being a
clever floor man. To guard him will
be one Of the difficult tasks imposed
on Award and Kizer, the associa-
ton guards. Award, because Of
his injured ankle, will be handicap
ped but he Will cause one Il the
pair no little trouble while he is in
the contest.
South Bend is the home OF many
Wabash men. Sentiment at the
game will be divided and the Little
Giant" rooters have arranged "a 81
together that they may cheer THEN
represe ntatives TO greater effort.
Ordinarily the roofing Is all one
sided, but Thursday night the Yea
Wabash" yell Will be led by "Shv"
Lontz, former Wabash baseball
player and loyal follower Of the
Scarlet.
Seats have been placed on sale
and are probably sold out, so great
has been the interest in the attrac-
ton. y few seats are availab bic,
however. None Of them are re-
served.
To Warn Vaughan.
Coach Vaughan will be aivised
Immediately by Wabash alumni Of
The strength of the ''Y'' crowd and
ne probably viii start his strongest
lineup. Particularly will he be
be posted on Burnhams lightning
ike speed. on Nyikos tossing abil-
ity, and Rhodes remarkable floor
work. II looks like a great game;
one Of the speediest in tho history
Of local basketball.
