TIGHT GAMES
FEATURE NIGHT
Rose Noses Out Franklin and
Wabash Barely Downs Irish
DE PAW Wins.

Upsets featured the Indiana college
basket play Friday night, only one Of
the three games played coming through
as expected. De PAW won from Earl
ham after a hard fight, 43 to so, which
was about the way the dopesters had
the result figured out, but so-to-29
Rose Poly victory over Franklin and
a Wabash win over Notre Dame by such
slender margin as two points was not
down on the program at all. The Wa
bash score was: Wabash q, Notre
Dame 25.
While never in real danger Of defeat,
De PAW had to work for every point
1t scored on the fighting Quakefs. The
pace was fast at the start of the game
and the winner appeared doubtful until
near the close Of the first half, when
the Tigers forged ahead for a 20 to 13
lead at half time. After increasing the
lead in the second session Coach Walker
ventured to withdraw his regulars, and
this move was met by such an ominous
rally on the part of Quaker tossers that
he hurriedly sent them back into the
fray. Alice and White were the big
scores for the Tigers, with six field
goals apiece, while Hadley played q
strong game for the Quakers.
Sauntering into South Bend, the ia
vOrites to win over NGtre Dame by about
a ten-point margin. the Wabash team was
a victory Of any kind. after getting the
short end Of a II to II score at the end
of the half, the Irish cams back in the
last period determined to cut down this
lead and succeeded admirably. Two bas-
kets in the final minute Of play sent the
\. d. score to within two points Of the
Scarlet total and then the gun inter-
vened to put an end to the sensational
for the Crawfordsville tossers.
Captain McDermott, with seven bas-
kets from the field and three from the
foul line, led the re-created Notre Dame
five in its best game Of the year. Colds
berry, with five out Of five from the foul
line and one from the field. and Crater,
with four two-pointers. were best for

Franklin College basketball stock,
which has been SOARING, to the skies since
the defeat Of Wabash last Tuesday, came
crashing to earth last night when Rose
Poly showed over one-point win In one
OF the most thrilling games played this
season. A basket by Smith, Rose sub
stitute, in the last minute Of play jerked-
the victory away from the Bsptists after
Records had put his team in the lead
a second before.
The game was see-saw from start to
finish and first one team was ahead aqd
then the other with a margin OF not mfre
than d couple Of points separating the
two teams all the way. Richesonf and
Fridle led the scoring for Franklin from
the field with four and three baskets re-
spectively, while Pike added nine points
from the foul line. Reinhard, Rose

FIVE field goals and three fouls. Stages

games for the Engineers, the latter being
