State Rivals to TangIe at
Little Giant Strong
hold.
CAVEMEN FOSTER HOPES
Have Visions of UpSetting
Tough Bulldogs.

By Times Special
, CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Jan.
Robert (Pete) Vaughan
is drilling his Wabash College bas-
keteers here this week for their bat
tie Friday at the local gym with the
powerful Butler University sniperS
Of Indianapolis.
The Bulldogs have been travelling
at speedy pace all season and have
carved a niche as one of the out
standing teams in the Middle West.
The Cavemen, however, foster hopes
of upsetting the tough capital city
meters.
Material here this season has been
scarce and Vaughan has experienced
trouble In developing a smooth
working combination.
The game is one Of two rivalry
battles between the institutions this
season.
1t will be the Little Giants first
net fray since Jan. 10, when they
met State Normal. Following the
Butler game, the locals will oppose
the strong Central Normal squad
at Danville Feb. s; Manchester,
here, Feb. 10; De Paw at Green
castle, Feb. IA; Butler at Indian
apoliS, Feb. %, and Notre Dame
here, Feb. %.

And that remains to be seen.
HO HUM!
tx. H." Of Broad Ripple apparent
~ never has had a chance to read
about the new Butler field house or
even take a peek at it. tx. H." in
letter to this column, says in part:
II don't see why the I. II. S. A. A.
doesn't keep on having the tourna-
mentS at the Playground because
they always make money out there
and I think the Armory or the new
Butler field house could not accom-
modate the crowds. especially for the
final game" Arthur L. Trester,
permanent secretary of the I. H. S.
a. A. could enlighten tx. H" on that
money-making proposition. "a. L."
could make tx. H." start stepping
backwards by reciting some figures
on expenditures, expenses and
profits. Well just finish up the
knockout by landing the punch that
hands out the Info" shat the Butler
field house can accommodate more
than the Exposition building.
