Safe Seventy Years—and Then Trouble

pHK'AGO.—For 70 roars William ** Furlong kept nway from marriage -und, Incidentally, from trouble. Women there had been in his life, but jot one had been capable of luring him nto matrimony. “Ami if I had known what marriage i'»» like I would have stayed single," William declared to Judge Morgan in he court of domestic relations. His rife. Pella, stood beside him, a militant light in her eye. “I want to be supported,” she said. He doesn't know how to take care of i wife.” "A man has to learn from experience,” William said. ‘‘But inline was mutething awful.

One of the smartest shops on Fiftli Ave. is showing felt hats entirely for spring. They are trimmed with gay flowers, ribbon bows and colorful fruits. For the most part they are small cloche shapes. Milliners are showing an inclination to concentrate trimming on small hats and practically eliminate it from large ones. With the large picture hats, now being shown, there is a tendency to get the style in the line and the fabric rather than 'in any adornment. Small hats are much more decorated than usual.

You say you have S.IOO in the bank. You would better give Delia part of it. And you, Delia, stay away from William and avoid further altercations.”

Field Goals j 'UBSSHHBBBSaaSEnS9BO I I ——

Nice work Indiana. The Cream and Crimson eagers from I. U. handed lowa her first defeat of the season in twelve games al Bloomington last night. I>y a score of 23 to 21. This! gives Wisconsin a chance to tie for! first position in the'Big Ten. Nyikos, the star sophomore forward on the Crimson quintet, scored five field goals and 11 out of 13 free throws for a total of 21 of his team's 23 points. Officials agreed that the game was the best one ever witnessed in Bloomington. Dear Field Goals:—As you are a sport critic, please publish in your paper where the Cincinnati Reds tin islied last year. And what position did Hornsby play on the St. Louis Cardinals? Yours, G. M. The Cincinnati Reds finished second in the National league standing by winning a double header on the last, day of the season from Pittsburg. Hornsby played second base for the Cardinals. You're welcome, G. M. For the benefit of an “Industrious Fan.” who wrote us for information concerning the ages of three mem hers of the I). H. 8. basketball team this year, we made an investigation and will report the following: Bud White, 16 years; Jack Teeple, 17 years; and Bobby Myers. 19 years. These were the ages of those players at the start of tbe basketball season last fall. The winner of the Liberty CenterKendallville game at Fort Wayne Friday afternoon will have tough ■ ledding when they meet the Muncie team which undoubtedly will defeat Rochester. .It lixiks like Muncie would go to the Indianapolis tourney. The Richmond-Marion game at Ft. Wayne, at ’ll o'clock Saturday morning, should be a a real battle. We're pickin’ Richmond. Wonder if history will repeat when the Fort Wayne Caseys meet the New York Celts this year. Last | year the Caseys won the first contest and thou were smothered.wider an avalanche of goals in the second game. The first game is Thursday night. Two hot rivals will come together in tbe Indiana University regional Saturday, when Bloomington plays I Bedford. Vincennes ought to sail through | her game with Hanover without any j difficulty. | Emerson of Gary plays Frankfort in tho first round of the Purdue regional. This should be a thriller.

Dean Durwin will lead lite D. 11. S. eagers during the next campaign of Hie locals. He was chosen captain yesterday by a unanimous vote. Teeple, Myers ami Kern will be lost to the stfuad this year through graduation. Teeple will finish at the end of the first semester next fall. Don't forget to save the date of April 21. The big county field meet and oratorical contest is coming oft then. Bobby Myers sure did stage a comeback during the basketball season just closing, (letting off to a poor start. Bobby laid off the game for several weeks anil then returned to the squad He showed improve ment with every game and he reach ed his best in the tournament. He deserved a place on the all-sectional team. Bobby will be greatly missed next year. E W. Sarbaugh, of Toledo, Ohio attended to business interests here to day.
