VICTORY FOR INSURANCE COMP PAIlIES
Poplarville in Walk
Over With Normal

eve came, we saw and we con-
quored" is the funeral melody that
five slashing, dashing, and mash
ing basketeers from Poplarville.
state of Mississippi, stuffed down
the throats of the Mississippi Nor
NAL quintet last night at the open
air court of the Normal College.
The court was in a beautiful
condition, all lit up with electric
light and all that sort of thing,
but the dazzling lights @of Tom
Edison could in no way compare
with the brightness of the Pop
larville Aggies, while on the other
hand the Normal college quintet
shone in about one candle fashion
Bobby Ford Of Ole Miss, and
Goat Hale of Mississippi college,,
have certainly built up some team,
that's all. Their perfect five
man defense, and their straight
horse sense in the realization that
real basketball consists of pass
work and short sure shots was the
bitter tonic that the Normal was
presented the best trained basket
ball team that has been seen in
Hattiesburg in many days.
The Mississippi Normal's club,
Issy Bush and all, were good i'm
personation of the "Lost Babes in
the Woods" except they were not
in the woods, but in their own
back yard. Bush was not in the
pink of condition. He was both
cred with a lame knee, and then
too, an outdoor court always
hinders this chap. He was by no
means the "Old Bush" and showed
up more like a sprig than a, full
grown bush. Parker's pass work
was indeed crude while Leech was
the only Normalite that really
showed any stuff.
There is. not a doubt in the
world but that Izzy Bush is
basketball player, but it is fact
that he gave no demonstration OF
his ability last night except every
now and then (rnostly them when
he would make several bursts of
dazzling speed, but even. these
were few and far between.
The old tale of attempted long
shots and keeqing the eye on
the ball and men and watching
openings is the code that deciphers
the NormaPs defeat.

Find Golden
Chariot OF
old Pharaoh
T utankhamen Drove in
Car Set With Price
less Jewels.

Luxor, Egypt, Feb. 8.--A chariot
Of gold, studded with priceless jew
els, once the personal conveyance
Of King Tutankhamen was re-
moved from the tomb Of the ancient
Pharaoh today.
Crowds of American and Euro
pean tourists who braved a sand
storm were amazed at the splen-
dor of the vehicle.
The body of the chariot was made
of sheet gold, elaborately and artis-
.ically carved and jeweled. The
magnificent top bar upon which the
reins rested was carved in pure
gold silhouttes of figures of war
riors.
Greatest care was taken in it's
removal so as not to mar its beau
ty. Stole Egyptian laborers who
aided the scientists and Egypt
ologists in it's removal gazed with
awe upon the relic of the glory
that was their ancestors.
Step by step the excavators are
approaching the inner chambers of
the tomb.
The body Of Tutankhamen and
possibly that of his queen with
their most priceless possessions of
5000 years ago are expected to be
found there.
