Found: The toughest team in the state. The Wabash Times-Star says, in writing up the Wabash-Marion game of last Friday night. “The Wabash team ployed a good game all the way through it and, considering that Marion has the toughest team in the state, the Thom-cats played it to a finish.” Just Counting has been revived in the Times-Star. Its author is not known. In Saturday’s edition. the following wise crack appeared: "Marion beat us last night, but we have the best team in proportion to linear inches, we think.” The mail man today brought us greetings from “Casual Comment," oi.' the Vincennes Sun. saying that he. was putting us on the Sun’s mailing list today.
