Manuals veteran FASTENERS con-
tinued their quest of an undefeated
record by battling out a Is to 0

Washington had an easy foe for
ome-coming opposition. showing
under Noblesville with a SO to 0

Broad Ripple cntinued its impress

full Westfeld team, 10 to 6. Tech
was the only capital city loser Of
the day, bowling to Muncie's Bear
cats by the margin of safety, 8
to 7.
Tech Play Listless
John Mueller's east siders played
listless offense in the first half and
Muncie had the best Of the argu-
ment all the way. A Tech tumble
on the 35-yard line paved the way
for Bartlett to pass to Ottinger, who
carried the ball to the 5-yard line.
Ottinger plunged over and G. Bart
lett smashed across with the extra
point. The gun stopped a Tech
drive that followed.
In the second half Tech showed
life and carried the ball to the one
yard line, but a great bit of defense
by the Muncie forwards drove the
Tech ball carriers back. Muncie
took the ball and punted out of
danger. Muncie punted to the three
yard line. A bad pass from center
to Dischinger, Tech back, sent in to
punt, sent the ball out of the end
zone for a safety.
Just before the game ended Tech
opened up with passes and Dis
chinger leaped high into the air to
tafle a heave from Masarachia for a
touchdown. Dine plunged for the
extra point.
Ripple Shows Power
Ed Deiderich's Broad Ripple
eleven which looked strong at the
opening of the season seemed to
strike their stride and beat West

who scored in the first and second
quarters and added one extra point,
the Ripple team paced the strong
WeStfield eleven, 13 to 0, at the half.
Everson hit the line for a touch
down in the third quarter. West
field was able to score in the last
period when Stanley drove through
the line.
After holding Manual even in the
first qaurter, Southport saw Welton
the flashy Manual half, twist and
dash through their secondary for a
forty-yard touchdown run before
the half ended. Coach Harry
Painter sent in reserves in the sec
ond half with his team showing
superiority, but lacking scoring
punch. Guleff, a sub. carried the
oval over and Welton added the ex-
ira point with buck, making the
final score 10 to 0, Manual.

Three Party Divisions
Had Name Republican"

The name Republican has been ap-
piled to three parties, a fact which
gives rise to confusion. The RepuD-
lican party of today originated in
1886, after the dissolution of the
Whig party. The southern Whig
went over to the Democratic party
on the slavery question and the
northern Wings affiliated with the
Free Soil and Know-Nothing parties.
At a meeting held at Ripon, Wis, in
1854, group of Wings, Free Sellers
and Democrats threatened to form
a new party if the Kansas-Nebraska
bill passed. The bill passed, and on
July 6, 1854, Representatives of the
same groups met at Jackson, Mich,
and formed party to which they
gave the name Republican. In the
election that fall, the new party car
ried 10 of the 81 states The Dem
ocratic party as now known began
with the Anti-FederaIists, who op-
posed the federal Constitution be-
cause of the rights surrendered by
the states to the federal govern

WOOLENS FAVORED

Woolens are in most important
place in the fashion picture for
the coming season. And justly so, for
wool no longer is term synony

signed for utility alone. Woolens
of 1881 are in many weights and
many surfaces, but the best of them
heavy or light. smooth or rough of
finish, drape with the perfection
which the new mode demands
They are as serviceable as they
ever were. and they are beautiful
as well, a fact borne in upon US
recently when we visited one of the
foremost woolen manufacturers of
the country, says the New York
Herald Tribune.
Coat fabrics for women are be
ing woven so closely and thickly
that they need no interlinings, which
are clumsy things at best. and at
the other end of the wool panorama
are gossamer woolens which make
the woolen evening gown seem an
eminently practical and desirable
addition to the wardrobe, rather
than an extravaganza of the design
