PHI DELTS TO STAGE
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
IN COLISEUM TONIGHT

Arrangements are complete for the
the local chapter of Phi Debts, in the
Coliseum Monday night Three games
of basketball will be staged, and the
big go of the evening will be between
the Richmond Phi Delta Kappas and
the Union City PM Delta Kappas.
This game will decide the Phi Delt
championship of eastern Indiana. The
first game will be a game between the
Business college girls team and the
Junior Girls team of Richmond. The
second game will be basketball game
on roller skates, between two teams
picked from the local fraternity.
The Phi Debts have put in week
of hard practice in preparation for the
game and are in the best of condition
for the battle. Union City is coming
prepared to cop the long end of the
score and are also heavily loaded, as
they are determined to cop the vic
tory.
Defeated Once Before
Richmond has one victory over the
Union City lads and viii endeavor to
add another win over the Randolph
county lads. Union City is also deter
mined to win the game and the cham
pionship, so a battle royal is expected.
The locals have been putting fine
brand of game in their practice ses-
sions and unless something unexpect-
ed turns up will have little trouble TAX
ing the visitors number The team
has developed a good passing game
and are hitting the basket very
regular.
1t is not known just who will stayt
ytbe game for the local Phi Debts, but
lEll lie between the following six men.
The forwards will be either Brehm,
Hyde or Jessup; center, Simmons !;
guards, r. Harding, H. Harding. The
following will be held in reserve ready
to go into the game at any time they
are called upon: Livingston, Weaver
Eggemeyer and Tauer.
Jessup Added
Jessup has been added to the Phi
Delts' roster and will add considerable
strength to both the scoring and de.
fensive departments of the game. He
will probably be used in one of the
forward positions against Union City.
Union City will present a very for
midable lineup that will bear con
slant watching They have been
playing a fast brand of game and have
lost only one game this year, that be
ing to the local team. McGehen, for
ward and Metank, floor guard, are the
bright lights of the teams, and the
good showing made by the team has
been largely through the efforts OF
these men.
First Game.
The first game of the evening will
be played between the Business Col
lege girls and the Junior Girls team
of Richmond. These two teams are
evenly matched and good game is
expected. This is the first time for
many years that the girls have staged
a basketball game, and if successful
more girls games will be staged.
What is expected to attract the
most attention is the game to be
played on roller skates. This has not
been played for several years and il
affords much amusement to the fans
The teams will be picked from the
Richmond Phi Debts and will be cap
tanned by Burr Simmons and FloyC
Nusbaum.
