FRS. MALAPROP was down
IMl to see us today. She came
~ into the Office about II a.
m. and said she couldn't under
stand how it could be IL o'clock
already; that she had started
downtown at 1890. We told her
It was only IL, but she insisted
that a big clock she could see
without her glasses on Kentucky
Ave, right at Washington and H.
linois SITS, pointed to noon. I'm
derneath the clock were the words
Community Fund.
When we got her straight on
that point she inquired who Red
Grange was. When she asked II
he belonged to the Khan we were
astonished, but light broke
through when Mrs. Malaprop said
she saw in the newspapers where
he was q galloping ghost.
Marks seems to be of some
consequence in the Big Ten.
Marks was the captain and star
of the Indiana u. football team
this season. Next year Wally
Marks will lead the MarOOns into
3 battle on the grid. The Marks
seem to make the grade.
f@0O one can think up more
I'M alibis than the amateur
IL football teams. Note after
note comes into this office stating
that "our opponents. ,outweighed
us umpty-umph pounds a man"
and "the referee beat u.s." and so
forth and so on. We wonder some
times if some of these young men
are learning the greatest lesson Of
sport-how to lose. Surely on some
occasions the winning team must
be a little better than the loser.
There's one good thing about
basketball. Rain never spOils
game unless the roof leaks. 1t
takes an earthquake or cycline
to stop the great indoor net
sport.
T--lR. RABBIT, If he is wise,
I'M had better hunt his hole
and stay there the rest Of
this week-especially on Thanks
giving Day. Those who never
hunt during the remaining 364
days in the year become nimrods
for a day at this time.
The stores which sell ammuni-
ton and other hunters supplies
are ready for the grand rush on
Wednesday afternoon. They sell
more on that day than in all the
rest Of the year put together.
This may be one of those old
n ones but we "bit" the other day.
y One of our friends the Is no
longer came rushing in and ex-
claimed, "There has been rob-
berry at Meridian and Ohio SITS"
what and whO?" we queried.
Somebody stole the Change

T seems as though every
high school basketball coach
- In Indiana has some new
idea about a score book. The lat
est one is put out by S. H. Leitz-
man of La Porte. 1t has four
diagrams of the playing floor, one
for each team for each half.
The idea is to keep track Of the
shots by marking the number of
the player at the exact spot on
the court he shoots at the basket
If he makes it a ring is drawn
around the figure.
light here and now, before
Tx we change our mind-Ne-
braska looks like a surprise
winner over Notre Dame. The
Huskers, according to accounts,
are in the best shape of the sea-
son. On the other hand, if reports
are to be believed, Flanagan and
Enright, two of Notrer Danes
best. are out of the fray.
With the two back field stars in
shape we'd say "Notre Dame"
With them out it looks as though
the edge must be given to the
Lincoln (Neb) outfit in the
Thanksgiving day battle.
E-OW things do change! What
IA difference just a few
weeks make! There was a
time when the ArnyNavy game
next Saturday was considered a
slaughter Of the innocents by the
big Cadets. Now, would you be-
~~lieve it, the Midshipmen are be-
ing made favorites in some in
stances.
Wall Street is swinging over to
The under-gob. The Gotham Eek
perts'' probably got enough Of Yale
and look for more upsets to make
u unanimous for the season.
