Is not that true? If it is then a groat many of us are neglectful or else the method of the membership idea is wrong. But ask any one and he will say that the method is right for the sum asked is small and a wide membership makes the project ten ’times more interesting because it broadens the activity and makes us all feel that it is our affair, that it is “we” putting it on. not “they"—which means some few individuals. Again, the committees appointed have been asked how they feel about ft and without an exception they have answered “We will go ahead and give the best work that is in us to make a greater success than 1912 if we are hacked up.’’ There can be no finer thing done than this celebration hundreds have said, nor can any event so far reaching in effect be done with so little expenditure. One thing, however, must be rememered and that Is if we do go ahead, if the money is raised, then this fall “Old Home Week” must surpass in happiness, in joy and in richness of sentiment the one of 191”. That will be some job hut with proper response it can be done for the experiences of 1912 makes richer the possibilities of 1928. To those of you who read this article and who have not signed—are asked if what has been written is true and does it reflect your feeling in the matter. If it does then join quickly and please go to the trouble to ask others to go at once to the bank’s or to the Daily Demorat office and give their support now. —— o H. R.

HmomS By MARK M. GPP Sport Om-eovcr, of l lie News Si-nU-no). Is picking Central to win the For’ Wayne sectional tourney. An Shootln' ’Em and Sloppiti' ’Em, of the Indianapolis News, Is picking Muncie to wlu the state title. .... u>„» Tim two Bluffton papers camo out with special tournament editions yesterday, the Bunner being printed on pink paper. Merchants from all parts of the county supported the edition with ads. Rip Offs, Kirkwood and Net ta Goal, of the News, formed a regular Rognes gallery on Hm front page of the News. The editions were fine pieces of work. • Is This Sucker Bait Dear Mark: We wish to remind yon of the fact that Kirkland has won 12 games and lost 8. Chester Center cancelled cur second game with them, forfeiting the game to us. Anil thus, we have 12 games won and 8 lost, which puts us above Jefferson in the county standing. In my opinion, Kirkland has the second best team in the county, ranking next to the Decatur Yellow Jackets. Kirkland had great hopes of going to the finals before the drawing but now we have to play Decatur In the second round and we can’t possibly get past them and may have a littie tough luck with Berne in our first round. We wish Decatur was back a place in the drawing, then we would have a chance to go to the finals, but as it is we tear that Decatur will have it all their own way. Yours respectfully, “Barneo” Our good friend, George Wemhoff. today gave us the complete record of the Reitz Memorial, of Evansville, the team the Commodores meet in the first round of the state Catholic tourney. George got it from a friend in Evansville. Memorial won 14 games and lost 9 this season. Os the ten games played away from home, Memorial lost seven, but lost only two of the 13 games at home. Tell City and Reitz high of Evansville were the only teams to beat Memorial on the latter's floor. Memorial defeated Washington Catholic on the Memorial floor, 27-23, but lost to Washington at Washington. 46-23. Memorial scored 795 points in 23 games while their opponents scored 599. The Commodores scored 901 points in 25 games to their opponents' 686. Here's Memorial's record. Memorial. 44; Chandler, 22. Memorial 21; Lynnville. 27 Memorial 34; Vincennes .(Gibault) 22.

All of the ten players on the tourney squad are in good condition with the exception of Joe Krick, guard, whose injured knee is still bothering him greatly. if you haven’t brought your season ticket yet, be sure to get it before night as tickets must be sold by tonight to count in the distribution of the proceeds. -r . HAHN OUTRUNS PELTIER, CONGER New York, Mar. 1- Lloyd Hahn, the slim, silent Nebraskan, who must be America’s main dependence in the middle distance events at Amsterdam next July, was established today as the outstanding athlete of the indoor track and field season, which ends this week. By his victory in the “mile of the Century," in which he raced his two most formidable challengers for middle distance honors into the boards of Madison Square Garden before 20,000 cheering spectators, Hahn climaxed a successful career which has brought him 35 victories in 36 starts. Dr. Otto Peltzer, world's record half mile record holder who was making his farewell appearance in the United States in the K. of C. games last night was left far behind by the flying Nebraskan, while Ray Conger of Illinois A. (’., the only man to defeat Hahn in three seasons, was beaten by 20 yards. Hahn was so far out in front that he had to make all the running. Even then he came within one second of the world’s record, held jointly by Joie Ray, of the Illinois A. C. and Paavo Nurmi, of Finland. The Nebraskan's time of 4:13 was remarkable under the circumstances. As for Dr. Peltzer, the German champion must re-establish his prestige at Amsterdam, for certainly he has not added to it in this country.

Peltzer pulled up on the last lap and ; wits Jogging along more than a quart- j er lap behind when Halin broke the tape. For lap after lap, Hahn set the pace, until Conger gave up and fell behind and Peltzer, 100, acknowledged defeat.
