- §PORT NEWfI Bluffton high school dropped another basketball game last Saturday night, losing to the Portland high quintet at Portland by the score of 34 to 19. Decatur defeated Pennville by a lop-sided score, Pennville won from Portland in an overtime contest, and Portland almost doubled the score on Bluffton. Where does Bluffton stand? | And now Huntington and Wabash high schools are fussing. Shame on you. Wabash defeated Huntington at Wabash Friday night 25 to 24, according to Wabash's version. Huntington says the game was a tie, and has announced that the game will be protested. The*, trouble started over a foul called on Huntington at the close of the game. Coach Moore’s D. H. 8. eagers will go to Linn Grove on Friday night to j do battle with the Hartford township 1 high school, lads ‘and on Saturday , night they will be hosts to the Nobles- ’ I ville five in Athletic Hall.

THREE UNDEFEATED Michigan, Wisconsin and lowa Tied For Honors In Conference Race United Press Staff Correspondent Chicago. Jan. 15 —Michigan. Wisconsin and lowa emerged undefeated from the week end's scramble for leading honors in the western conference basketball race. Michigan, with two well-earned victories to its credit, has exhibited greatest strength to date. Forced to show their stuff Saturday night, the fighting Wolverines waded through Minnesota, clearly demonstrating they will be foremost bidders for the title. Wisconsin added a third straight victory to her belt when she overran the Maroons Saturday night, but the Badgers met easy teams and their real strength is untried. The Michi-gan-Wisconsin contest on Feb. 10 will be a real battle. Michigan invaded lowa City tonight and the result will be one of the best early indicators of championship strength. , Both teams have a right to be proud of their title hopes. lowa, however, is not expected to stop the Wolverines, a more experienced team Purdue, a 1922 conference champion, will see their first action in the 1923 race tonight, when they meet Northwestern at Lafayette. Northwestern is going good, and has demonstrated scoring power, but the Boilermakers are believed to have the edge. Illinois and Ohio State though not serious contenders, are certain to cause a lot of trouble before the season ends. Michigan’s experienced five of shelters, with keen eyes for the basket, and with a five man defense that has.proven alrpoat air tight, will be hard to stop- Present dope favors them to win the cup.

BRITISH NO LONI.I t: HI I E English Fear Loss Os Supremacy Os The Seven Seas By Lyle C. Wilson , United Press Staff Correspondent Landon, Jan. 15. For the first time in centuries England is minus the tyump cards in the game of retaining supremacy of the sea. Two new capital ships, planned as tfie most powerful afloat and scheduled to be begun this month may remain mer e paper sketches in the admiralty office. Unless the signatory nations make haste to consummate the Washington disarmament treaty. England will find herself tied with Japan as a bad second in sea power, naval experts point out. Despite national poverty it was understood, weeks ago, that plans of the two new ships would be carried to completion. This followed the call for bids on the part of the admiralty for the construction of the peerless monsters. It is now rumored that the admiralty’s opening of bids was in direct disagreement with the instructions of the Lloyd George government. The i government had ordered that the program be deferred for an indefinite period. On its own initiative the ad miralty called for bids. It is up to the new government, now, to countermand the order or to sanction laying the keels. The Lloyd George government proceeded with the scrapping of all the ships specified in the Washington agreement. By so doing, it is pointed : out, the existing reserve of the Brit- ! ish navy against a possible repudia- | tion of the naval agreement by other i signatory powers has been destroyed. This "act of good faith” has pushed | England periously near the danger point, the Morning Post declares. Should a repudiation of the Washington agreement occur at this time, the resultant strength of the three great naval powers would be, United States 41 capital ships; Japan 23 capital ships; England 23 capital ships. The United States has not, according to the Post, taken steps ot scrap I designated vessels pending the final ‘ endorsement of the naval agreement ‘ by the government concerned Lord Lee, of Fareham, is quoted as saying that the only reason the admir-

At Al! DruM‘»ta-30 Canta alty agreed to the scrapping of nine teen capital ships by the late govern- j nient was that the other powers should fulfill their obligations and that two now ships allowed under the agree ment should bo made immediately available. Either of these promises to the admiralty’s conclusion to sanction the scrapping program may prove unsound. But, even though the treaty is poorly carried out, England will be far behind unless some mdans of carrying out the construction of the two new ships is found. After Ratification After ratification all around, the • United States would possess 20 capital ships built and building. Five of these would be post-Jutland. Japan would have 10 capital ships, two of them post-Jutland. England would have an imposing total of 22 capital ships. But the Post points out. only one of these, the Hood, would embody the improvements derived from the experience of the war. The foregoing status puts England in a distinctly inferior position to the United States in ultra-modern ships. If the treaty is ratified all around, and if the money for the construction . of the two new ships is forthcoming, England and the United States will ■ be on a parity with 20 capital ships I each. Under the agreement England must scrap four capital vessels upon ! commissioning the pair of new ones. If there is a hitch anywhere the bali a nee is destroyed and England for the I first time will find herself second in naval power. Meantime alarming ru- ■ mors come from France that the naval > agreement may not be okayed. I o t Mr. and Mrs. Russell Kern returned to their home at Elkhart, after i spending the week-end with relatives • ! here.
