Hornsby believes McGraw "had

that his transfer bore any relation

such a procedure can be over
done. In palmer terms, one of
these days the basketball simply is
going to refuse to fall through the

Evansville it wouldn't be bad idea
at all for the Bulldogs to start step

the greatest respect and apprecia-
ton of the Evansville outfit few
things would please us better than
to see the men of Hinkle proceed
