RIVALRY MEETING
BETWEEN WABASH
AND PAGES FIVE
Butler Meters Invade Camp
of Scarlet Saturday for
Basket Scrap,

Many %Irvington residents will travel
to Sra~wfordsville Saturday to see the
Butler Bulldogs and the wabash Lit
tie Giants tangle for the first time
this season on the hardwood.
Athletic officials at Butler are put
ting on a strenuous drive in order to
fill a special car which will leave Sat
urday afternoon.
Disappointment are plentiful at
Butler. The Illinois game capped the
climax with a one-point defeat. Coach
Page and his Bulldogs have squared
away and decided hat last-minute
losses are a thing of the past and the
next team that beats them is going
to have to play hard basketball from
whistle to curfew.
IT'S a hard job to dope these Wab-
ash fellows out" said Coach Page in
answer to a query concerning Buffers
chances. 'One night you think the
Wabashers are shot and the next time
they urn around and come through
with some surprisingly clever ball.
Butler-Wabash games never have been
sewing meetings and we hope this
years will be no exception"
The Butler student body held a pep
meeting in the college gymnasium at
noon today. Ed Arens, yell leader, had
charge of festivities.
