ton. Your proposal to follow what
might be called in modern parlance
the rules Of the prize ring by
splitting receipts with the winner

ethics of the churches which the

Fred Cause today by defense
attorneys.
The State has utterly failed

Cause heard the arguments.
The trial has dragged out all week B,

Fred McAllister, one of the de-

motion to the judge, argued that

piled to an attempt to extort money,

pointed out that the indictment on

Game Warden Demashar came on
the carefully prepared body of the
mule while the hunter was away.
Amazed at seeing a mule evidently
ready to become steaks and rib
roasts, he hid nearby and awaited
developments.
Pretty soon the hunter returned,
accompanied by a rancher whom he
had gone after for help in carrying
his bag to town. AS soon as the
rancher saw the trussed mule, he
burst into uncomfortable laughter
in which the game warden, coming
from hiding, Joined him.
The hunter was SO chagrined that
he left his elk steak a la mule"
where 1T was and returned to town.
The mule belonged to Decker.
And now comes the anti-climax.
The game warden went to the office
of the Gardiner News and told the
story to the editor. A bystander be-
came interested in the story and when
the warden had finished, he asked,
Il wonder what he did with the
horns"
OF course this hunter is not alone.
Every Fall, almost, we hear of inno-
cent hunters trying to feast on cor
morants, thinking they are BLACK
geese; and the the barnyard duck,
in hunting regions, is never safe dur

admit that this is the first time We
ever knew a man to dress out mule.

TIGERS HAVE CHANCE
FOR DOUBLE HONORS
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

If Ohio State wins the Western
Conference basket ball race now
nearing its close and Princeton wins
the Eastern intercollegiate title, there
will be no need of an intersectional
game to select a champion.
For Princeton defeated Ohio State
in the course of her Christmas trip
to the Middle West. Ohio State might
put forth the contention that this
was an early season game and not a
true lineup on the merits of the
Buckeye team.
There will be all sorts of logical
warrant in this point, but If foot
ball be a precedent II will not hold
water for a second. For, as in the case
of intersectional gridiron games, the
defeated team is held to the con-
sequences of its beating irrespective
of when the game took place.
1t is an interesting fact that Ohio
State and Indiana, who have been
well up among the leaders In the Big
Ten basket ball race, have never
won a Western Conference court
title.
All in all there are five Big Ten
members that have yet to win an I'M
disputed conference championship.
They are Ohio State, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Indiana and Northwestern,
Michigan and Iowa have figured in
one tie.
Since 1912 the conference throne
has been occupied out of IA
times by Wisconsin. Part of the time
the occupancy has been exclusive, but
she has had to share the seat of
honor.
Four times. to be precise, have
q l.,
Chicago. Minnesota has held the title
twice and Illinois and Purdue one
each. OF all the Big Ten, Wisconsin
has shared in the greatest number
of ties, four in number.
Michigan, too, has sort of a repu-
tation. She can go afield and get
very nicely trimmed, but on her own
dirt floor in the Yost Field house
she is almost unbeatable. Indiana is
the one conference five which seems
to know how to beat the Maize and
Blue at Ann Arbor.
