WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER GAMES BUT THE H. P. DIDN’T CO WRONG ON TONIGHT'S GAME. The Kirkland Whippets are building up an enviable record.

Four members of the squad are out on account of injuries, illness, ineligibility and infraction of training rules, ami three others will be unable to make the trip tonight on account of having tc play in the school orchestra at Monroe tonight. Coach Everhart has certainly had his share of tought luck this season. A bunch of Decatur high school boys have started the fad of wearing red and blue bandana handkerchiefs around their necks. It is rumored that they are riding. Latin ponies to school, too, in regular cowboy style. (Note to school faculty: this rumor Isn't worth the trouble of an official investigation.) An Interesting Case. "Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps Everett Case, of Frankfort, figured that delayed offense partly to assure the whole state that when Frankfort w'as to play a. game there would be something interesting to see? The Yankees were not such an attraction until Babe Ruth started his home run habit. Try to get a seat for a Frankfort game, nowadays. While we are not in sympathy with the stalling game, we certainly are willing tx> admit that we would go a long way to watch Frankfort use it. Anything done well is worth seeing.” —W. ,J.
