Crimson Cagers Stave Off
Late Rally to Whip
Minnesota.
BY HARRISON MILLER
Times STAFF Writer

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. A.
Minnesota remains the miracle team
of the Big TENN football; Indiana
stays up in the kingdom of applied
basketball. The Gophers, risen from
the hardwood limbo with startling
upsets over Michigan, Northwestern
and Ohio State. fell short in their
upset crusade here last night as In
diana University muffled the re-
QUEEN chant of the invading North
men with &c to % victory.
AS a result of last nights tri-
umph, the Hoosiera, who again were
forced to stave off a closing rally for
another small-margin victory, re-
main undefeated at the top of the
Western Conference heap with a.
slight advantage over Purdue, which
has an unblemished record of five
victories. I. U. has won six.
Free Throws Important
Indianas margin was established
in the free throw column. Each
squad counted nine times from the
field, the Hoosiers converting 8 of
IA free throws, the invaders half
of their 10 attempts. Actually, Min
nesota was not a serious threat UNI
til the waning moments of the
game.
At the outset, Indiana threw up
an almost impregnable defense that
forced the Gophers to resort to long
range shooting and wild one-hand-
ed attempts. 1t was the two in-
jured members of the Crimson
squad, Captain Stout and Fred
Fechtman, who sent the home squad
away to a 16-to-10 margin at inter-
mission.
Fechtman Sinks Two
Stout opened hostilities with a
free throw and followed with a tally
from the field Roscoe, whose left
hand is forgotten in shooting, tossed
in one-hander Fechtman scored
brace of points on heave from
mid court and executed a pivot shot
to make the score 7-to-2 for the
Deanmen.
After Cunning added a charity
toss, Rolek and Jones found the
range to creep within two points,
but two from the field by Stout and
another by the rangy Fechtman sent
the Hoosiers we'll ahead.
Fechtman and Walker were in
strumental in extending the margin
to 1912, and with reserves in the
lineup Indiana was coasting to VIC
tory when the Gophers came to life
and started penetrating the con-
gested I. U. defense. Jones con-
verified on Huffman's foul and Bar
mum hit from the field.
Up Comes Minnesota
Huffman and Etnire converted for
Indiana and Seebach for Minnesota.
Baker cut under the basket, making
the score Is to 10. Barnum added a
charity toss and Baker dashed un-
der again.
Indiana, attempting to stall, lost
the ball and Baker sent in another
one-hander, but Huffmans free
throw concluded scoring as the end
Of the game neared.
Fechtman and Stout, with eight
points each, paced the Hoosiers.
Baker hit a trio of field goals for
Minnesota honors. Summary:

lege handed Butler University a
42-to-39 setback in an overtime con-
test here last night after the In
dianapolis cage tossers had staged a
late rally to knot the count.
The defeat was the seventh of the
season for Butler, as many as a
Hinkle team has lost in any one
year, and the second in a. three
game road trip in Michigan.
For a time it appeared that an

TOUR free throws gave the home

star of the evening, sent the game

Mershon and Arnolds field goal
provided the victory.

er, was lost on four personal fouls,
and Ralph Bradford assumed the
scoring burden for the Hinkleman

Mrs. Thayer was a flower painter,
and in the Gellatly collection are two
flower paintings by Thayer himself
which may have had their inception
in her interest. One is a study Of
lilies, white and red. brushed in on
a small canvas without definite ar
rangement or order; the other is an
exquisitely finished work-a bowl of
pink and white roses seen against
a putty -colored background, but re.
allied with great delicacy and en-
chanting effect. In this, too, there Is
that timeless quality which is found
in Chinese paintings, Persian pottery
and Greek sculpture. Probably it was
because of this quality found in
Thayer's work that Charles L. Freer
included it in his very limited collec-
ton of paintings by American artists.
THAYER will undoubtedly be longest
remembered by his figure paint
ings, but he may equally claim dis
tinction as painter of landscape.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art owns.

Mount Monadnock, in the shadow
of which, near Dublin, N. H., Thayer
long made his home. In the National
Gallery of Art and in the Freer

picting Cornish Headlands" and

believable isle" with her head in late
afternoon sunlight, her feet in the
shade. Thayer's method of painting
landscape was very different from that
of painting figures. but even in his
landscape canvasses he seemed to con-
centrate upon dominant idea and
his fairgrounds were almost invariably
loosely interpreted. Yet, strangely
enough, there is more than a little
kinship between Thayer's Capri" and
Courbet's masterpiece "Environs of
Ornans," in the Phillips Memorial
Gallery.
No painter was ever more insistent
upon the spiritual quality of art than
Thayer, but he was a scientist as we'll

of being an animal painter. but he

No account of nineteenth century
District journalism would possibly be
complete without a word concerning
the activities of the redoubtable Anne
Royal, who had all the complexes Of
a militant suffragette, a crusader and
an uplifter-a sort of Anthony Com
stock in petticoats, so to say. Her
journalistic enterprises consisted Of
Paul Pry, issued from December,
1881, to November, 1886, and the
Huntress, from December, 1886, until
about the time of her death in 1854.
Mrs. Anne Royal has become al
most a legend in District history, and
not a politician of the day felt at
ease in her presence. The acerbity
of her pen was experienced by high
and low, for she believed in hewing to
the line and letting the chips fall
where they may.
A frail creature, considerably under
5 feet, was Anne Royal, usually
wearing shabby habiliments. but she
was passionately devoted to her coun-
try and detested nothing so much as
political chicanery and dishonesty in
public Office. Indeed, her announced
objective in volume 1, number /, Of
Paul Pray was ito oppose and expose
all and every species of political, civil
and religious frauds without fear.
favor or affection, and the motto Of
her papers was, Education: The
main pillar which sustains the Tenn
pie of Liberty"
As reporter she always got her
story. According to one account, her
journalistic tour de force occurred
when, after repeated rebuffs from
high Government official in a vain
attempt to gain an interview, she
trailed him to the Potomac one bright
day and interviewed him while he was
in swimming!

The first major telegraphic line for
news transmission between large cities
was first completed between Washing

the famous Samuel r. B. Morse. The
first message from Washington to
Baltimore was reputedly: What
hath God wrought" But the first
message from the outside (Baltimore)
to Washington was: What is the
news in Washington"
With new inventions, strange, newly
coined words crept into the language.
Thus we find the Daily American
Telegraph of the 9th of April, 1852,
explaining in its editorial columns
for the edification of its readers:

The bird is usually observed fol-
lowing along in the wake of COWS,
picking up insects which are disturb

its food thus easily acquired, the cow
bird apparently turns its attention to
other forms of labor saving. When
it desires to go places with no effort
it hops to the back of COW and rides
