A sen- ■ sattional field goal from long by Andrews in the final thirty seconds won I the game. The Leaders played with- ' out the services of Murray Menden- I hall, star forward, but the five tner. used in the game by Manager Yager worked well together. Bills and Andrews each scored five times from !

the forward positions, and Oliver, at center, caged four field goals. Kennedy sank two field goals and a free throw. The Montpelier team is composed of a fast hunch of caging stars. The' game was clean and exciting through-; out. Only three personal fouls were called on the Leaders and the Montpelier team fouled only five times. TAnight the Leaders will play the Kokomo Phi Delts in the high school gymnasium here. The Kokomo team is one of the fastest teams in this part of the state.

Upp s , A Montpelier sport writer says the i game there last night was one of the fastest and most sensational ever played there. Although It was not widely published over the state for some unknown reason, the Muntfe Bearcats handed the Kokomo Wild Cats a neat trimming Friday night at Kokomo. The score was 40-27. Manager Yager has scheduled a

game for the Leaders with the Hartford City Phi Delts to be played here a week from tonight Anniff< r tough 'nut to crack. Fanny Fanette says her uncle fharlle, who lives in a hack woods 'town »n Ohio where they don't play basketball, saw a game In an Indiana town the other night and when a bunch of fans began yelling shoot! shoot! ho ducked behind a fat lady sitting in front of him and didn’t raise his head until the end of the 'half when the noise quieted down. ’ Charles "Grcenie" Lammlman.

' Mark Bills, forward on the Leader qit ntet. Injured his left leg in the game at Montpelier last night but' : the former DePauw flash declares I 'he will be able to play tonight.

Miss Helen M Bennett, who with Mrs. Edith Rockefeller-McCormick, is ■ organizing the women's progressive ' exposition, declared in an interview with the United Press today. The exposition, first of ts kind, will be held here April 19-25. Once upon a time there were only i three occupations "nice girls" would ' enter, Miss Bennett said.

These are blacksmithing, working in steel mils and acting as president i of the United States.

In time women will hold the latte office, she predicted. i Women bold an important place in all businesses and professions, from “bank pre-idencies to banditry," Miss Bennett said. The woman’s exposition is intend’ed to puncture the old theory that j woman's place is exclusively in the home. o Much Limestone Mined In Bedford District Bloomington.
