Nyikos Leads Irish to
Fourth State Victory in
Five Starts.

BIZ United Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Feb.
17.-Netre Dame Wednesday night
closed it's season in Indiana with a
1926 victory over Wabash here. 1t
was the fourth victory for the irish
i'll five starts against Indiana teams.
The game was fast throughout and
evenly fought 'in the second half
when Captain Nyikos of the South
Bend five was withdrawn on per-
sonals.
Notre Dame started smoothly at
the outset of the contest and meth
odically rolled up a 21.10 advantage
at the half. In the second period
the play was slowed somewhat when
Nyikos, heart of the Irish offense,
was forced from the game.
Mentally led the Irish scorers with
a total Of 10 points, all scored from
the field. Conroy was second for
the victors, with three fielders and
an equal number of charity losses.
Capt. Benny De Vol Of the Scarlet
won scoring honors of the game,
sinking six baskets for IL points.
Captain Nyikos of the Irish scored
but once from the foul line, but was
largely responsible for the scores of
his mates to whom he fed the ball
under the loop. Summary:

ties probably will encounter will be
from Shortridge. Beech Grove and
Warren Central in the sectional, and
Anderson in the regional. And we
think Tech is a better team than
Anderson.
Why not send an Indiana team to
the National Scholastic tournament
at Chicago? An Indiana team can
take the honors just as we'll as any
one else. Hoosierhnd prides itself
on its high school basketball teams

another cycle of restricted profits and
the failure of a second large real es-
tate mortgage distributing firm is
likely to cast an even broader shadow
over the market for this type of Sc
curity than had already clouded it.
Against these special situations,
however, there is the great support
ing factor of abundant money at low
rates, the certain assurance that
nothing will be done politically this
year to disturb business and the ever
present fact that SO far as Europe is
concerned her political and economic
health is now so much improved and

stabilized that this country no longer

u. S. RETAIL TRADE
GAINS MOMENTUM
Easter Trade Impetus Felt
Big Wool Yield Figures
Are Reported.
BY J. G. ROyLE.

Retail trade in most sections of the
United States is picking .up like a
racing driver on an automobile track
straight away. This is not an ex-
traordinary development, however. II
SIMPLY means the Easter trade is in
fuli swing, with ample buying power
behind 1t. In some districts the
volume of sales is fully 10 per cent
ahead of those for the corresponding
period of last year.
Mail order business in the last
month has been slightly lower than
year ago. but last Easter was far
earlier: Wholesale trade has not kept
pace, but this Is due to changes in
the methods of wholesalers instead of
TO lack of business. Small orders
and quick deliveries are the rule to-
day' ana as soon as the Easter stocks
are cleared from retail shelves, whole
sale business is counted on to pick UP.
