TWO COPS SENT TO PRISON

Patrolmen Henry Brown and Daniel

who were found guilty of robbing Frank

were sentenced by Chief Justice Hall Of
the Superior Court to from seven to nine
years each in the State Prison.
Chief Justice H5lI after speaking of
the enormity of the offence said he

Take a look, says Professor Wegener

contest as one of the real treats Of
the season. There is a feeling that
two of the strongest clubs in the

though both have experienced de-
feats.
Evansville Victory
The Tigers fine showing against
Evansville has raised the morale of
the team and given the rooters
plenty to talk about. A big crowd
from Greencastle will be on hand to
witness the struggle.
Butler, which in its last games
has shown a great defense, is ex-
pected to need all its ability to hold
in check the attack of Ward, Byrurc
Stewart and pickett. There is dyn-
amite in that De PAW outfit.
Coach Page of Butler knows he
is up against tough proposition
and has been drilling his squad hard
every day this week.
A Thriller
All the requisites are there which
make thrilling encounter. Power,
drive, speed and skill are present on
both clubs.
Butler was to take its final drill
today at the Playground court. On
Wednesday the varsity battled the
freshmen squad in a fast scrimmage
game. De PAW also is putting on
the finishing touches at Green
castle. Both teams are in fine shape.
The main contest will start at s
p m. Friday. There will be a curtain
