They are even afraid to dope Vin- . cennes to win the games before the tournaments. It is rather discouraging to have one's pet team lose to a comparatively weak conference contender. When teams like Jefferson of Lafayette fall before unheard of teams like Emerson of G«ry which was not thought dangerous because its football schedule. It seems to a man up a tree that Emerson is trying her best to show that a team can win a state football championship and then i turn around with reverse English and take the old leather pushers right over the same coals and rub them down into the mire. ’ Shelbyville although having no apparent grudge against the dopesters ’ took a vacation and defeated the 1 1 state champs of last season by an | overwhelming score. The entire ’■ ■ state took the jolt with about as much ease as Franklin did herself. The true meaning of upsets was never better defined than when the Owensville five defeated Lebanon I after Lebanon had held Vincennes to j a three point lead. Dark horse possibilities are about las likely to show up this season as ; the sun is to shine on Wednesday. .' Ben Lavis is a possible dark horse 11 and then Paoli might surprise the i followers of basketball in the state. | Vincennes is getting a great deal 1 1 of publicity from all over the state and after checking up constant vic- ■ tories, they have a right to be in the i limelight with all colors flying. The majority of dopesters in the state , even the most optimistic press agents > for their home teams, concede that it is all together probable that Vin- . cennes will take to the state meet this season an unblemished record. • The hope and not belief that most writers are expressing in 'their pre- . fictions tffat Vincennes will lose on their road journey is not likely to ,1 occur. ,1 Kokomo —An automobile dealer refused to believe and offered to show -n income tax collector the records at . Indianapolis when he was told that he was paying taxes on $6,000 too , much income.

Revolt of German Fascist! under Hittier, the Nationalist chieftain, Was feared. The Bavarian government ordered Hittier to withhold his “White” demonstration, planned for today, until the Ruhr situation was improved, but the rebel nationalist defied the authorities and announced the mass meeting would be held tonight or Sunday “whether*, the government liked it or not.” He is determined to overthrow the present Bavarian leaders and establish Socialist nationalist control. Tho Hittier incident adds one more to Germany's accumulated troubles, and the Cuno government lent its weight to. that of the Vavarian authorities to avert trouble with the “Fascisti.” Nationalists in Berlin are aroused; Socialists are accusing the cabinet of shameful inactivity towards Fasisism.
