guards and sturdy centers. Only
fine tackles were lacking. Thus you
have the picture as we accord hon.
ors on our all-state secondary COL
lege elevens.
The first team is composed or
OConnor, Butler; Joyce, Wabash;
Iheby, Evansville; Bielauskas, VAL
paraiso; Stierwalt, Wabash; Issel-
hardt, Franklin; Kay. De Paw;
Hay Hanover; Fribley, De Paw;
Smatlak. Valparaiso, and Stewart,
Butler.
Eddie OConnor, end, was the
flash at Butler all fall, a shade bet
ter offensive player than his team
mate, Bats, and a much better pass
defense man. Kay. also an end, like
wise shaded his teammate, Hick-
man. at De Paw. Hammond of
Hanover, Miklozek of Indiana State,
Schmidtke of Valparaiso, TAFT of
Rose Poly and Henry of Ball State
all were carefully considered.
Joyce Best Tackle
In our opinion Joyce of Wabash
was the best secondary tackle. COL
lapse of the Franklin team that ap-
paared plenty good before the season
opened probably robbed Isselhardt
of that rating. There was an
abundance of average tackles, but
few who attracted constant atten-
ton. Wilson Of Ball State looked
plenty good at times.
AT guard it was different story,
with Theby of Evansville and Stier-
walt Of Wabash battling down the
stretch for the nod. Both, in our
opinion. could make about any foot
bail team. Reinert of Wabash was
good, too. Schroeder Of De Pauw,
StInes Of Hanover, Bunnell of But
Ter and Wyse and McCleary Of
Na"o,. ster were fair caliber.
Likewise there were a number OF
ne Ccnters Bielauskas of Val
paraiso and Mueller of Wabash were
somewhat OF a toSsup pair. with
Hutcheson Of Ball State consistent
and Guenther Of Hanover red-hot
at times. Bell, Central Normal, had
fine stuff, although his team was
hopelessly outclassed Al times.
No doubt fans have more opinions
on secondary backs in the state
than on any other players. To us,
the twelve boys named on The
Times three teams could just about
make many big-time team if &C
corded the opportunity
Banet and Pierce Threats

Bob Fribley, because Of his size,

Pierce were the chief threats to the
first four and there are many at
De Paw who think Pierce just as
good as Fribley.
Wulle of Butler and Karr OF VAL
paraiso flashed brilliance several
times. Arnold was a Hanover spark
who frequently burst into flame.
Down through the list of honorable
mention backs are other men of
fine ability in many branches of the
game.

Head of PheIps-Stokes
Fund Speaks at
Tuskegee,
BY the Associated Press.

TUSKEGEE, Ala, April 9.-Booker
r. Washington, founder of Tuskegee
Institute, yesterday was pointed to as
an example for world leaders by DR..
Thomas Jeffie Jones, educational d.
rector Of the Phelps-Stokes fund, in
the annual founders day address at
the institute.
Nowhere in all history" said DR..
Jones. "is there a more convincing
demonstration Of the methods and
ideals Of reconciling group welfare
and self-development with intergrcup
cooperation than the achievements
Of the man whose up From Slavery
is text book of humanity"
DR.. Jones said that Booker WASH
ington had learned that no nation,
no race has achieved the ideals of
civilization without the aid of other
races and nations.
He saw beyond the immediate in
justices into the deeper meanings Of
group interchanges. With supreme
faith in the Negroes and in others, he
believed that interchanges of selfish
exploitation could be superseded by
cooperation of mutual interests and
common service"

TRUST DEED LOST
0NPONCE DELE0N
Appellate Court Rules
Against Customers of
Defunct Realty.

The District Court of Appeals today
ruled against a group Of customers
of the defunct Swartzell, Rheem &
Hensey Co., who sought to reinstate
a s375, 900 deed of trust on the Ponce
de Leon Apartments and collect
against the builder and subsequent
owner.
In the opinion the court stated that
the noteholders appointed the Swart-
zell Co. their agent and consequently
should bear the loss occasioned by its
defalcation.
1T is well established" the court
said, that where one of two innocent
parties must bear loss, such loss
is imposed upon the one whose con-
duct makes the loss possible"
The decision was the adjudication
of four suits, in which a total of
more than 100000 was sought. 1t
Upheld the action of the District Su-
preme Court.
! The Swartzel Co. made a s375 900
loan to David L. Stern to pay notes
necessary for construction Of the
apartment house. These notes were
sold to customers Of the Swartzell
Co. and the company was desig-
mated the agent of the customers to
receive payment. Stern subsequently
sold the property to the Abner Drury
Co., which ref1nanced the mortgage
through loan of $325,000 from the
New York Life Insurance Co.
This 1925, 900, together with note
for $44,375 bearing the personal in
dorsement of Peter A. Drury. was
turned over to the Swartzell company,
which recorded on its books that the
entire $375,000 Indebtedness had been
satisfied
The Swartzell company thereupon
paid q years interest to the note
holders, but withheld the principal.
The note holders brought suit. con-
tending the mortgage never was fully
paid and should not have been re-
leased.
The court held the $44,375 note of
Peter A. Drury was treated by the
Swartzen company as cash payment
and should be so considered. The
difference between the $375, 900 due
and the total paid was adjusted by
agreement between the Drury and
Swartzell companies.

were j. T. Sherier, Milton w. King,
