By vEDD g R D

THERE seems to be no other
sport in which the smaller
- schools have such a good
chance to compete with the larger
ones as in basketball. Local fans
know that the Indianapolis high
schools have a hard time with some
Of the little State institutions.
Butler, Wabash and Franklin
have defeated Big Ten opposition
on the hardwood when on the grid
iron the Western Conference clubs
have been too tough. With so
few men needed to play the game
a combination is achieved by a
coach sometimes in which all parts
OF the machine fit in perfectly.
Team play is everything and
the coach with a legion to select
from may never find the proper
coordinate unit among all his
stars.
Another thing to be considered
is the element of luck which en-
ters into a game. How many times
have you seen a ball roll around
the rim of the basket only to fall
on the outside? Other nights those
shots go swish through the net.
We have seen two evenly
matched teams play and one beat
the other by a top-heavy score,
because the winners shots were
hitting the basket although the
losers were getting as many
chances. There is no defense
against a club that makes it's long
shots.
A State high school champion
ship was won a couple years ago
by some marvellous long range
sharpshoOting. Any well coached
team has a chance against any
opposition if it has an ION"
night.
All this has been brought to
mind by the fine early season
showing of two small Indiana
schools, Evansville College and
Manchester. 1t is too early in the
season to say that these teams will
keep UP their fine work. Some of
their success may have been the
luck of the game.
We simply mention the possibili-
ties that basketball has for the
smaller institutions. 1t is one
reason for the great sports
popularity.

HOW SYLVESTER
JUGGLED NOTES

How Edwin l.. Sylvester, missing
president of the closed Plainview
State Bank, "robbed Peter to pay
Paul" was told by C. L. Mikelson, re-
ceiver of the defunct institution in
the trial Of Adolph Stoltz, assistant
cashier, in district court at Wabasha.
The most striking example of Syl-
westerns alleged methods Mikkelson
declared, was in the case of Christian
Umbright whom Sylvester had given
personal note for $4,000. When he
demanded payment Sylvester gave
Umbright $1,000 mortgage of the
latter's son and daughter-in-law,
Henry and Ella Umbright, which was
held by the bank.
In order to square the banks re-
cords, Sylvester took an $500 mort.
gage which was locked in the safety
deposit box of Mrs. Anna Rich, and
listed it on the assets of the bank.
BY doing this he had $1,000 more as
sets on the banks records than there
should have been, and he therefore
took out of the banks assets note
for $3,4O0 signed by Henry and Ella
Umbright. AS this amount was 5000
too much to take out, he evened things
up by making a notation on the note
that 5000 had been paid on it,

Christmas Memories

To a person who has lived for half
a century, Christmas may be, in a
sense, a very painful thing. There
are always memories of former
Christmases that come flooding over
him, and he is bound to miss the bodi-
ly presence at least of many persons
whom he has loved in years past. In
deed it can be one Of the most melan-
choly seasons of the year, and no
doubt many persons who read this
have, at certain periods of their lives,
almost dreaded the coming of Chriss-
mas on account of the recollections
of past happiness and joys it was
sure to bring them.
The antidote for this very real
sort of melancholy, I suppose, lies l.,
the determination to realize Christ
mas as a spiritual meeting time for
all those who have gone before, even
though they are not present in the
flesh. In other words, for the person
who has lived for many years it must

ual joy, or it becomes merely ma
terial time of good living with many
melancholy connotations.
1t is only by clinging to the thought
that there is no death, that there car
be no death, that Christmas becomes
tolerable to many of us. So it is ter
ribly true that unless you do make
Christmas really Christian festival
you do not have any Christmas al
all. You have only rather gross
parody of the true spirit of the thing
The ostentatious giving without the
giver's heart in the gift, the stuffine
of ones self with too much rich food
these things go to make up de-
based burlesque of Christmas:
To repeat, it is Christian festival
or it is nothing; you can't have it any
other way; if you try to have it an,
other way you simply don't have it
You have something else that is as
foreign to Christmas as a pagan cele

ANOTHER DEBATE
 ON MUSCLE SHOALS
Senate Argues Issue Before Vote
 Tomorrow

Washington, Jan. 19.-Disposal of the Muscle Shoals problem in the senate before adjournment tomorrow was the task to which leaders set themselves today as the issue enter cd another day of the long debate that has blocked the path of other pressing legislation.
 Although failing in every attempt thus far to fix a time by agreement for final vote, senate leaders hoped for success in that move today. There was considered a bare chance that a vote would be reached before to- morrow.
 The general expectation, however, was that the entire day would be consumed in debate on the only ma ! ior alternative now remaining 10 the 1 Underwood bill-the Jones agree mcnt proposing reference to the en- tire Muscle Shoals question 10 a con- mission which would submit rccom- mendations to congress.
 The Underwood measure provides for either leasing the property or | government operation.
 Managers Of both measures ex- pressed confidence in the outlook for their proposal, with those favoring the commission plan contending they would show their real strength in the vote on the Jones amendment which, they assert, was not reveal cd in the defeat Of the Wadsworth proposal for a commission with au. thority to take definite action.
