Fallen Snowflakes Following the Hartford City game last week, a sweet young thing was heard to remark: “I’d like to choke those Airdales! About that time three of them rounded a corner and the blushing' fanette instantly vanished into the fastthining crowd Another brokenhearted basket-sister chimed in with: “I don’t wish the Airdales any tough luck but I hope that they all get an F on their report cards”_ _ _Tush! Tush!_ _ _ Mumblings in the crowd when Newcastle was in town seemed to formulate into the following statement: Marvin Huffman is one of the best high school basketball players in Indiana^ _ _The mortgage committee probably felt a little better after the Trojan-Bearcat game. _ _The annual Indiana Young People’s convention of the Church of God was held in Newcastle over the past week-end- _ _ From the looks of things it appeared that everyone wms over here for the basketball game Friday evening, although we learned later the convention center there was jammed to near capacity, _ _A report gleaned while we were attending the meeting Thursday evening as to the effect that the game to be played mere on Feburary 7, between Muncie and Newcastle would be a complete sell-out _ _ -Fewer than 270 tickets are yet to be disposed of Who says basketball is losing in popularity in Indiana- _ -The Bearkittens, who are showing up their bigger brothers, the Bearcats, are going to step out among ’em this year_ _ _ On December 20, the date Cliff Wells brings his Logansport Loganberries to town, Ralph Heath’s Daleville Bronchos will battle the Kittens in the preleminary_ _ _ The following Monday evening, December 23, Saratoga’s varsity will furnish the opposition at the Field House_ _ -December 26, comes DeSota, while on January 18, the Clarence Swingleyment invade Daleville for a return engagement- -The final big-time competition for the second team will be against Roll, at the local goal-house, on the night of Jan liny 22- _ -They tell me that Bnrrja eld a 17 to 2 lead over Elwood in the game played there last week, when the Owls were clawed out of the undefeated ranks by the Panthers- _ _The score at the end of the first quarted was reported 17 to 2, wuth the Scott Fishermen still holding a slim lead of 17 to 15 at the half time_ _ -Despite these conditions, the Man at The Desk says Burris is tough “Any team which can blast Winchester, 38 to 31. on Winchester’s own floor, has to be tough,” he avers_ - -Jesse McAnnally, for Greencastle High School basketball star, who is at present maticulating at Northwestern University, is ineligible for athletics until mid-semester_ _ _ Reason: low grades, _ -Ball State opens this week- _ _On December 17, Miami University of Ohio, will furnish the opposition- _ -Make arrangements to see the Cardinals in action this winter- _ -Peedad Campbell, the little Napoleon at Kokomo, has a great ball club this winter, they say_ _ -All of last season’s ensemble, who skinned our Bearcats, is back, namely Bennett, Flynn, Maddox, Thurston and Heckman- - -Walter Fisher, who besides being head man in Muncie Central’s football, wrestling and track department, likewise (officiates at basketball contests here and there during the winter time, helped handle Peru-Kokomo game of twp weeks ago, _ -The Wildcats made mincemeant of the Tigers, and according to Mr. Fisher, that wasn’t the half of it Their fast, aggressive and can score at will, ’tis reported-^ _ -Mentioning that brings to mind that Frankfort should have everything this year _ _ -Ten men are back from last year_ _ -Tipton knocked the Hot Dog’s ears down a while back, so they must have something, also _ - -Marion and Delphi have likewise found that out Nomination for the underdoggiest of the underdogs, _ -Berne’s high-prancing Bears.

dales. Nonetheless, they made themselves perfectly at home and gave unto the Bearcats a decidedly “put out” feeling.”

GLEAMED FROM RICHMOND'S PALLADIUM “Despite the fact that 229 boys reported to Coach Jolly at Muncie this season, the Bearcats have not shown anything to write home about in early games. “Jolly has a 6-7 center, who is a sophomore, doesn’t know what its all about yet, and another center, who stands 6-4, who needs a lot of experience. White, a guard, and Stout, a small hot-shot forward, seem to be Mtincie’s best threats.” STRANAHAN SPEAKS FROM NEWCASTLE “The unexpected can always be expected to happen when Newcastle plays Muncie. Before the ball game started Umpire George Yarnelle had to change shirts twice to please both coaches. The first time his shirt was to dark to suit Jolly and when he came out in white, Coach Allen protested because his lads were wearing white jersies and were just as liable to be shooting passes in Mr. Yarnelle’s general direction. “Then, as the ball gahie ended the gun failed to crack and the clubs put in about five seconds of extra play before the game could be halted. The official Muncie timer couldn’t decide whether Marvin Huffman was fouled by Blair before or after the time was up so they took Roy Valentine’s word for it that the misdemeanor was committed before the game ended and “Huff” was given the chance to pick up the extra Trojan point. “Will some kind soul tell us what kind of a riot would have started if the score had been tied at that point?”

route. Then there’s Forest Shook, who towers into the ozone 6-foot-6, and who has had planty of service with Batesville high school. The smallest player on the squad is Red Rudicel, former Huntington high school star, who is ohiy 5-f6ot-4, but is one of those greased-light-ening streaks, who whs here, bht is now there and the deyil take the hindmost. The Cardinals opened Wednesday night against Taylor University, and then wept to Bloomington Friday night for a game with Everett Dean’s Indiana University five, where there are veterans galore. Then follows a few days respite until December 14, when the Red and White travel to Indianapolis, where they do battle with Indiana Central, where they say Dave DeJernett is not missed so much. The Cards come home on December 17, for a game with Miami University of Ohio’s five, in what should be a nice ball game. Good luck to the Cardinals from the sport department of the Post-Democrat! THOSE LOSING STREAKS Burris, after winning six in a row, hit a snag in Elwood for no apparant reason at all. Add to this the injury scourge whicli pesters nice ball teams on divers occasions and you learn why it is coaches who get grey thirty years too soon. Yount, Burris’ backguarding ace, is laid up with a kpee injury which may keep him on the sidelines for an indefinite period. Now ball players with the reputation which this boy has do not grow on trees in the gym and his loss will be keenly felt. It seems that Scott Fisher’s Owls met the slump down at Winchester, although they won 38 to 31. The losing side of the depression caught up with them in FlwoOd, where they lost their first game of the new season. Anyway, fans are hopeful that the Godess, Fortune, will again smile on the Owls.

FINALE FROM KOKOMO’S , TRIBUNE “The Bearcats have the state’s fans guessing. With no great amount of veteran material, but with a crew of lanky yopngsters, Pete Jolly started out with wins over Farmland, Elwood and Connersville. Then a fair Hartford' City club trimmed the Cats, 27-19, and now Newcastle has dumped Muncie, 24 to 22, in a league battle. Two Negro lads, one standing 6-foot-7 and the other 6-foot-4, are mainstays of the squad which counts on the diminutiye Stout to

get the baskets.”

THE FOREIGN PRESS— THE HARTFORD CITY NEWS— “Bearcats defeat at the hands of the AiVdales are becoming more numerous of late. For a span of years it was as easy to count Airdale victories as it is to count the Republican votes i.n Mississippi. Now the Airdales can boast of two wins in the last three years. “Had the Airdales been hitting the basket with their regular accuracy Wednesday night, the Airdale total would have been some higher. As it was, 27 points was sufficient, but last week 27 wasn’t enough. However, Berne is a really good ball team and there are/few teams that will trim the Bears this year.” AND— “Victory over their archenemies ^ - '.-the Muncie Bearcats- _ _was thh tasty morsels that the Airdales dined trpdm Wednesday night. The score was 27 to 19, in a game played at Muncie. Although the game was played at the Delaware County seat, it was strangely enough a ’home’ game for the homeless Air-

RED DEVILS AGAIN Elder Eberhart, head man down Richmond way, so tar as basketball and football are concerned, and who showed Muncie Central a thing or three in last season’s regional, is to meet Pete Jolly’s Bearcats down at the Coluhium in Richmond, come December iJ. Graduation hit the Devils rather squarely between the shoulder blades, no fewer than eleven men accepting diplomas at the conclusion of the last school year. However, they had one tough second team in Richmond last season and it seems that said second-raters are fast becoming acclimated tp the wiles of first-team ways, with resultant wins over Liberty, Union City and Southport. While the’ first two might bp construed as^warmups, although the Wildcats from the state line might be offended if they would be classified as such, the game with the boys from suburban Indianapolis is never indicated as a light form of exercise. Not after Southport had knocked Shortridge *on their respective ears, anyhow. Well, this week, Richmond will be busy with Jefferson of Lafayette and Winchester, while the Jollymen dre having their hands full with a spirited little team representing Frankfort, where they believe in basketball teams which win, irrespective of how and why. Next week, the standing may be somewhat different as to games won and lost, but right now is what we are interested in. Coach Eberhart has been using Davidson and Dietrich, as forwards, Keyser, at center, and Reller and Brinker at guards. They say Davidson is somewhat of a hot-shot. CARDINAL CHIRPS Coach Branch McCracken, head man basketballically speaking at Ball State, is expecting great things this winter. Despite the fact that only four lettermen are in the fold from lasf season, the material coming up is of the highest calibre. Looking over the four veterans remaining in the Red and White camp, we find the the group Jis led by Ned Schuck, a senior, ‘with. three years of varsity experience. to his credit. Schuck weighs in the neighborhood of 180 pounds and* stands 5-foot-10. Bob Hesher, a senior, a 6-foot-2 forward, and a 185-pounder, is also a three-year man. Paul Meyer and Harold “Red” Sering, both juniors,' have two years to their credit, and one looked upon as sure starters. Meyer is six feet and playa a forward position, while Sering, 5-fodt-8, is a guard. Hartford City may contribute Joe Risinger, 6-fo,ot-4 center, to the cause, replacing Mel Wilson, lost via the graduation

JUNIOR HIGH SCHEDULE Dec. 10—Blaine at Burris. pec. 11—Marion at McKinley. Dec. 13—Blaine at Wilson. bee. 13—Indiana Deaf School at McKinley. Dec. 17—Wilson at Anderson. D.ec. 17—yorkfown at Blaine. FULMER IN ACTION The annual basketball program of the Y. M. C. A., where Moulton Moulty Fulmer is physical director, is in full swing again. The Industrial League, made up of factory teams, eight jn number, has been organized after a lapse of several years. The Sunday School League, with Division A and B, 24 teams in all, have also gone tp the wire and good, fast games take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings of each week. If yop like basketball you will see some first-class games there.

Did You Ever Have a Fire?

Did you ever have a serious fire on your property? The chances are that you haven’t and you are lucky. But the fact that you haven’t suffered directly from fire loss shouldn’t give you a false sense of security. A fire, like anything else, base to happen a first tune. And the property-owner w r ho disregards warnings concerning fire hazards, thinking that such matters may affect others but pot him, is all set for that “first time.” Unless your home is different from the average, it contains a long list of fire hazards. Remember that old furniture, those ancient magazines and clothes you’vp been putting in the attic little by little for many years? They offer a constant invitation to fire, no i less than the nest of a real packrat. And the accumulations of greasy rags or refuse in the basement or garage—what more could the force of spontaneous combustion want to get in its work? And those electrical repairs you made yourself, in order to save the few dollars an expert electrician would have charged to do the job properly—perhaps you don’t know that electrical hazards are one of the most prolific sources of fire. And that heating plant that is going full blast these first days of winter—unless it has been recently inspected and overhauled, it is one of the fire demon’s best allies. Almost every fire hazard can be eliminated—furthermore, it can be eliminated quickly, easily and cheaply. Some of the most dangerous hazards, such as improperly stored inflamables and piles of rubbish, can be done away with entirely without cost. Doing that may save lives and irreplaceable property—is it worth the little

work that is involved?

WHAT DO ANIMALS DIE OF? Science finds that most birds die of apoplexy. Read about thi$ and other curious discoveries in The American Weekly, the magazine distributed with NEXT SUNDAY’S CHICAGO HERALD AND EXAMINER.

Governor Lpndon of Kansas, being the person boomed at the present moippnt £S the probable Republican candidate to oppose Franklin D. Roosevelt next year, it might, perhaps, be interesting to survey his availability. First off, he is being considered because he is Governor of Kansas. That State is accustomed to Republican governors. Indeed when a Democrat is chosen to sit in the State House there, it is a subject for much political comment, so the fact that Mr. Landon won that job is hardly enough. Next there is the widely heralded tidings that he has balanced the State’s budget. Kansas folks tell us that their constitution makes it impossible for any governor to unbalance the budget. There has been such a provision for years, and a Democratic governor —Woodring—rivetted the restraint on the State’s executive. However, any budget-balancing governor is an attractive object to a party that does not know what sort of a candidate it wants or what sort of a platfprm he must run on. Of course, the main political asset of Governor Landon is the GO. P. belief that State pride might take Kansas out of the Democratic column, if its governor were in the race, and the hope of the cpnfused and dilemma-ridden Republican organization is that, representing a farm State, he might have a general influence in the corn-hog and grain belt. “Imposs ble" If He Favors AAA That brings him square up against his first hurdle. The old guard Republican machine in the East is bound to look askance at a candidate from Kansas. They probably would not consider unless they were >yhplly (convinced that he could get nowhere. They might be willing to offer him as a sacrifip,e on two counts: First, that as they have to have a candidate it might as well be Landon as jinotjier, and second, they have been plagued by the Progressive element in their party so long that they see a possible value in the demonstration that a Westerner being given the chance only proved that there was no salvation in sucb . a choice. Concretely the situation was put by Mark Sullivan, perhaps the lading minstrel in the reactionary camp, in this language: “Against Governor Landon there is one potential impediment which, if it be comes actual, will make it impossible either to nominate him or to plect him/’ Then this devoted stand-pat Republican apologist points out that the AAA is almost a sacred creed in Kansas. He insists, pf epprsp, that Kansas is infatuated; that the farm relief now being extended is not good for them out. there. And most impressively Mr. Sullivan advises that “the friends of Governor Landon. who include the best men in the state, are seriously lacking in duty and foresight |f they fail to tell Kansas what AAA means and fail to tell both Kansas and Governor Landon that no one favoring AAA in its present form can either get the Republican nominatiou op be (elected against Mr. Roosevelt.” Even a Democratic publicity man can be neutral as among the aspirants for the nomination, for with the present content of harmony in the Republican party it makes no difference who is put up for the honor of taking a beating. Capper’s Decidedly Contrary View We have heard the view of the Old Guard. Now a few words from the representative of the other side: Senator Capper, perhaps the most influential individual hacking the Landon boom—not only in his and Governor Landou’s state, but throughout the granger section. “If the Republican platform makers put the party on record against the AAA,” said the farm publishersenator, “there’ll be little chance of winning the Farm Belt back to the Republican column.” But there again the senator’s fame as a prophet is dimmed. A fortnight ago he announced that while Kansas was “almost unanimous for the wheat program,” it was not enthusiastic about the corn-bog program, and right after that the Kansas farmers voted 42!000 for the corn-bog system to less than 7,000 against it. Nor was the sentiment confined to those farmers who had signed up on the gov ernment’s program, for the nonsigners recorded themselves two to one for the continuance of the measui’e. Mr. Sullivan’s explanation of why Kansas was so blind to the ! iniquity of the AAA is that it does uot lealize the enormity of the law 1 egardiug potatoes. It happens that the Department of Agriculture vehemently, if ineffectually, protested against the amendment that put potatoes ip the same category as wheat aud corn. They were willing to help the oppressed tub; ef, put insisted that it did not fit in that frame- Incidentally more Democrats than Republicans votec} against including potatoes when the House ballotted on the subject aud put it in the law. And Knox Is Still Discussipg Knox But there is another equally difficult hurdle far Governor Landon. He campaigned tor and won the governorship on the Prohibition issue. His slogan was “Keep Kansas Dry” and his supporters hailed liim as the leader of the new crusade far the re-establishment of National Prohibition. Now that would hardly sit comfortably ou the wanton wet East. Fancy New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, npt to mention Illfonis and Wisconsin, being willing to change * their cocktail parlors back to |
