Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete 1 Indiana TTnlveraity capers sure lost 1 a heiirbreaker last flight at Wiscon-j sin. After I. U. led all the way from the start until the last two minutes! and showed sujmrior playing in all departments of the game, the Budgocsl dropped In some long Held goals and ' boat the Hoosiers, 28-72. Coach Conter’a Catholic high team will not play Geneva until a week from Friday instead of next Friday. The I). C. 11. S. boys haven’t a game scheduled for this week yet. Dear Field Goals: Hartford City’ sends word that they art* not going to drive 100 miles to get a beating at tin* hands of the G. E. tossers. but they will have some opposition when they stack up against the local boys, judging from the stride they are going, having won twelve and lost three games so far. So be on hands to see a real game Thursday night. A FAN'. Fanny Fanette says she hopes Decatur gets tin* district tournament because there are always so many good looking boys in town Hint week. The Ossian eagers, who meet the D. JI. S. tossers herp tomorrow night, are pretty chesty over their record this season. Isocal fans may expect a gooti game. It won't bo long until the baseball teams begin spring training and try to crowd basketball off the map. Safe Fat Reduction Reduce, reduce, reduce, is the slog .an of all fat people. Get thin, b*’ slim, is the cry of fashion and society. And th,* overfat wring their hands in mortification and helplessness: revolting at nauseating drugs, afraid of violent exercise, dreading the unwelcome and unsatisfying diet, until they hit upon the harmless Marmola Prescription and learn through it that they may safely reduce steadily and easily without one change in their mode of life, but harmlessly, secretly, tad quickly reaching their ideal of figure, with a smoother skin, better appetite and health than they have ever known. And now comes Marmola Prescription Tablets from the same famously harmless formula as the Ptgwiription. It be hooves you io learn Um satisfactory, beneficial effc-cts of this great, safe, fat reducer by giving to your druggist one dollar for a box. or sending a like amount to the Marmola Com pany, 4612 Wood word Avenue. Detroit. Mich., with a request that they mail to you a box of Marmola Prescription Tabli'ts. G. E. Shows Bin Increase In Business During 1923 St hne< tady.
