There was never much question as
to the ability of Robinson and De
Vol at the forward positions. The
uncertainty lay in whether. the rest
of the, team could measure up to
the two sophomore flashes.
Many felt as though the team.
might be over balanced, top-heavy
outfit which could not get together
and play smooth basketball
Wabash Guards Improve
It seems as though all such fears
were groundless. Coffel at back
guard has improved with every con-
test and Burdette seems to have At
ted into the scheme of things at floor
guard in fine shape. The lengthy
Chadwick at center gets the tip-off
and has been snagging baskets from
under the net.
There is no disputing the fact that
Wabash sets terrific pace. An OPP
posing club must go from whistle
to gun If De Vol and Robinson are
to be held in check. They are two
plug-away forwards who never stop.
1t is doubtful If there is a better
man at covering the floor In the
State than De Vol.
What battle Nipper and De Vol
will have when the two meet at Tom
linson Hall Saturday. They are
players of the same type, with
plenty of that most valuable asset
TO net performer, the well-known
cork" The going never gets too
rough for either and both have
hearts that love good fight.
Butler Has Reserves
There is one thing that Butler viii
have to throw against the Scarlet
which De PAW did not have. That
is reserve strength. Page will have
fresh players to put into the fray
against the fast travelling visitors.
At Charlottesville on Monday the
men of Vaughan wore down the
team from Greencastle after a first
half which was played on even
terms and ended 10 to IL in favor OF
Wabash.
Wabash opened UP an overwhelm-
ing attack in the second half against
the Greencastle five. Coach Morri-
son rushed In substitutes, but they
were not as good as the original
starters and could do nothing IN face
of the dashing Scarlet.
Wabash went through with only
one substitution when Coffel went
out on personals shortly before the
game ended. It was an impressive
exhibition and IL it is a true picture
the battle here with Butler Slll be
full of thrills.
De Vel Finds Basket
There always has been some CUES
ton Of De Vols ability to cage the
ball. He is a wonder at dribbling
through the opposing defense, but at
times has shown a weakness at
shooting. He made six baskets
against De PAW which is a big rea-
son why the score piled up Bonnie
may be learning to swish the drap-
cries. II he has. watch outi
Robinson, who has been counted
the scoring ace OF Wabash, tossed
in five and Captain Chadwick made
the same number.
Ward was a star for the losers
and Sturtridge did well in the first
half.

Continued from PAGE Onel

ial states:
This picture of actual conditions
which has been sketChcd shows that
there has truly been violation of
the essential conditions for the yleb-
iscite which would Justify Peru in
refusing to accept the decision: but
as it is the invariable policy of our
country to comply with internation-
al responsibilities, we will not fail
to carry out the award notWith-
standing the errors which have been
pointed out and in spite of the fact
that they SO deeply wound the sem
timents of justice which actuate
Peru in insisting that Chile by her
refusal to hold the plebiscite when
IL should have been held in 1914,
brought about the notification of
the third clause of the treaty of
Ancon."
The presidents reply deals with
these two elements of the Peruvian
memorial with the statement that
the arbitrator notes with satisfac-
ton" that the president of the Peru
Wan defense commission gives for
NAL assurance" that Peru will not
fail to carry out the award.

Peruvian contention that acts of
terrorism have been committed UNI
der Chilean authority, the president
pointing out that these should be
brought to the six plebiscitary COM
mission when it has been constituted
and adding again that the award
is final and without appeal" BY way
of observation, the arbitrator calls
attention that Peru had full opnor-

not take advantage of it.
