Mr.. R0thschiId Francis may | ask
who IS the next man in the Virgin Is

Bill, proposing a Civil Government for
the Virgin Islands?

Would you not question this yourself
after hearing Of the glowing ana baauti-
1ui pictures OF liberty, justice, peace,
plenty and Independence as are painted

Would not the same condition exist

These games close to tourney time
take on greater significance than they
really should. A loss in the middle Of
the season is overlooked, but one close
to the finish line gives the dopesters
a chance for more speculation than is
necessary.
Watch those big Tens" after the
Anderson defeat. One loss and down
the Staggsmen will go. It's a very
serious prOposition-this basketball to
many Of it's followers-much too Sc
rious. After alI-it's just a game.
The defeat of Anderson by Hunting
ton was the terrific shocker on Friday
night. It took an overtime to- do it,
but the Huntington team, which has
not caused any great stir this season,
jumped into the Hmelight with its
S4-to-SO victory.
The Frankfort loss to Jefferson of
Lafayette may be explained by the
absence of Pogue from the lineup.
The big back guard was injured in
the Kokomo game last week and
Cases team is weakened without him.
1t was Frankfort's first defeat and
may do that team more good than
harm. A squad on a winning streak
is under a strain and many times

"Al I know is that Dempsey is will
ing to sign when some one makes a
satisfactory offer" Kearns said.
Kearns had heard Tex Richard
wanted to put on a return bout be-
tween Dempsey and Tom Gibbons and
that he had been informed that Glib
bons had accepted Richards terms.
''Rickard has said nothing to US
about the other end of the fight"
Kearns said. However, he knows we
will sign if the terms are right, and
he usually makes them right"
Kearns seems to be a little cool
about the Gibbons fight, not that he
doubts Dempsey's chances to last
through the bout, but he fears it is
not match wanted by the public.
After talking with Kearns, 1t
seems improbable that a Dempsey
Wills fight can be arranged this year.
