Butler Plays Franklin At Indianapolis Saturday Indianapolis, Dec. 20. —Ona of the state's feature college basketball games of the season will be played in Tomlinson hall here Saturday night. The Butler-Franklin contest comes unusually early on the schedule this season because the coaches had to agree on December 22 in order to get Ihe use of the hull. The only thing the college authorities are worrying about now, is where they the going to cram the crowd. Butler football bleachers will bo used in tin effort to seat as many as possible. Butler devoted the week to hard work with a couple of practice con tests with independent fives. The Baptists meet a tough foe in State normal topightx.t Franklin 'in the opening home game of the year. The teachers are showing strong. They gave I. U. a good scare in the first Crimson tilt of the year and were onljf nosed out by three .points. Franklin will probably start the old reliable working machine, Gant and Vandiver at forwards, with C. Friddie at center. Deer at floor guard and V. Friddle at back guard. Butler will have a veteran crew, led by Midillesworth. captain and floor guard. Tarker and Colway both will probably see action at back guard. Hal Griggs will be at center and Hooker and Reach will have the call at the forward jobs. Big Demand For New Treasury Certificates Chicago. 111, Dec. 2d The demand | for the new 4*4 percent Treasury I Savings Certificates which were offer ed to the public on December Ist has exceeded the expectations of the U. S. Treasury Deparment. according to a statement made today by William B. Bosworth, Government Savings Director for the Seventh Federal Reserve District. "The government printing office could not print the Certificates rapidly enough to keep pace with the sales at the twelve Federal Reserve Banks and the 40,000 post offices which act as sales agencies," said Mr. Bosworth. • Over three million dollars have been invested in these "Baby Bonds" since December Ist in the Seventh District alone. The SIOO Certificates which now sells for SBO is the most popular denomination in spite of the fact that a $25 Certificate which now I for S2O is also offered. The new in i terest rate tax exemption and pay- , ment-on-demand features of these seI curties are attracting large investors also and many of them are disappointed when they jWtin that no 'individual can inrext-more then $4. ■ 000 in them this year. An adittional allotment of blank Certificates is being sent to each postmaster this week and the Fe'deral Reserve Bank of Chicago is now in position to fill all subscriptions promptly, o i Miss Helen Dugan has arrived home from Poughkeepsie, N. *Y., where she i* a students at Vassar, to spend the Christmas vacation with .her parents.

PORTLAND AFTER RAILROAD MEET Seeks Athletic Meet For Which Decatur Is Favored Portland, i Dec. 20 —An effort is being made to have the fourth annual outdoor meet of the Northwestern Region the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, held in Portland, although several sites are being considered including Decatur, where officials of the company recently made an inspection of facilities available at Belmont Park there. With the large fair grounds here and a golf course at the Portland I Country Club, this city affords better facilities, it is believed, for the tournament than Decatur. All of the approximately sixty events can be held here and the regional committee may consider the Portland site as more favorable. letters are being forwarded to the officials of the division by local people interested in the bringing of the big event to this city and who are cooperating with Agent Jeff Bryson in the effort. The fourth annual indoor meet of the Northwestern Region will be held at Chicago on March 22, next. * Between twelve and fifteen thousand people would attend such an event, it is safd. , o UIMKII < IMI < 01.11* With the changeable weather which we have at this season the year! couahs are very pr ‘vah nt. lie pre- . pared for them.
