G.E, WINS FROM LIMA, ONIO, FIVE Local Quintet Beats Lima College Net Team Here, 25 To 24 Although the sub-zero temperature very materially affected the attendance at the General Electric-Lima Business College basketball game at the new gymnasium Saturday night, the game was a hot exhibition of the caging sport. The G. E. quintet emerged victorious from forty minutes of fast playing, by a score of 25-24. The; Lima team was a fast outfit and it was only through a great rally in the last halt that the locals won the game. The visitors were leading, 15-12 at the end of the first half. Accurate basket-shooting by Yager and Kern in the second half brought victory. Tho G. E. five was outscored on field goals, but managed to win by tossing five free throws to two for the visitors. Oliver played center for the G. E. team and Yager teamed with Kern at forward. Teeple and Peterson held down the guard positions in fine style. On Friday night the Lima lousiness Collegg was defeated by the Huntington College team at Huntington by a score of 23-21. The G. E. team will play the Ossian Maroons in the new gymnasium here next Thursday night. The Maroons have a strong team and held the Decatur Leaders to a four-point win early in the season. The G. E. team has been going good lately and they have a good chance to win from the Maroons. It is likely that the G. E. girls will play some team as a preliminary game Thursday night.

Strike Os Weary Willies At Hobo College Is Near I Chicago, Jan. 7—A« strike of “Weary Willies” at Chicago's hobo college appeared imminent today. To begin with, they've been ordered to vacate the college because it's a fire trap. But this order, they think, is merely a political meaneuver by Dr. Ben L. Reitman, professor of eugenics at the college, /Who wants to open the new municipal “flop" with a bang. Reitman read the college death warrant to an unappreciative audience of 140 ‘bos last night. His reasoning puzzlied the 'bos who gazed longingly at large piles of kindling. “It has been extremely unreasonable weather for hobos,” said Reit man. “We must open the municipal lodging bouse. The hobo college has been declared unsafe by tho fire department." he explained. BiW
