Purdue has lost three brilliant tars in Stretch Murphy. Glenn Harnieson and Heiman Boots, but is certain to play an important part in the race. Purdue and Indiana, located in the greatest high school 1 basketball state, always have a wealth of material and never are, asy opponents for any foe at the cage sport.

Two games ) are scheduled. 080 Last Thursday every member of every team was present and there was plenty of enthusiasm. Its a great game, and is one that anybody can have a good time playing. —oßo— Ccach Laurent of the Commodores is jiursing a cold and hasj been unable to work with his team the last two practices How ver, the Commodores ar- continuing preparations for the Delphos game I’Hday, and are determined to beat St. Johns. —oßo — Ciach Curtis tapered off his drill for North Side by sending the Yellow Jackets through tight signal drills today. The Redskins have been going strong this year and will likely give Decatur quite a battle for a while. - -080 — Bill Bell, one of the G. E.

ALL IHIOCEEDS GO TO THE GOOD FELLOWS CLUB. 080 Arthur Pat Hyland, local Irishman will officiate —OBO--The game starts at 8:15 o'clock. Tickets can be secur- ( ed at the doors, which will be opened at 7:30 o'clock. ■ -oBo — BEAT ST. JOHNS. —olio---BEAT NORTH SIDE. -~c BoTwo Kirkland high school basketball players, as high school youths are wont to do, "played hookey” from school the other day. The school of- ; ficials disciplined th* two athletes by suspending them from the basketball team for two games. —oßo — Which was all regular and well and good. —oßo — The two boys, however, , showed the wrong color of blood when they became angered and turned in their suits j saying they would quit playing I basketball. o Bo In BasketbawTs opinion the boys i should be condemned by the entire) school body. The school officialsj did what any schiol officials would j be compelled to do. After all Brin-i cipal Mann and the Kirkland sac-1 uity want Kirkland to win basket-j ball gam's, but they felt it a duty) to discipline the boys. They show-1 ed a real school spirit. —oBo — If the two boys, actually refuse to play the rest of the season, perhaps it will b: better for the Kangaroos in the long run—for when young men | get mad and qiiit when they are disciplined a little, they're usually the kind who would flinch when the score was tied. Basketbawls knows th? two play-1 ers and honestly believes they will! reconsider and after their two! weeks suspension will be back! fighting harder than ever for the. Kangart os and Kirkland township.! —oll> — Bill Bryan, Kirkland coach has produced som* real basketball teams the last few years and no doubt will have a good one this year. —o BoCoach Horton and Mrs. Horton will sp nd the Christmas vacation | with Mrs. Holton's parents in Illinois. —oßo— Mrs. Curtis and Coach Curtis will divide their holidays between Indianapolis.

VALIDITY OF AMENDMENT TO SUPREME COURT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' ’aw, there was little possibility of. the supr m - court upholding Judge | Clark's decision. Rep. Leonidas Dyer. Mo., a wet, I rank ng member cf the judiciary committee, said today that he regarded the 18th amendment as in a different category from all other' constitutional amendments, since it took away certain rights from the people, and therefore should have been submitted to conventions rather than to legislatures. | • The legislatures were elected cn the prohibition issue, he pointed out. ! Upholding of this principle, he said, would not invalidate any other amendments since none of them ar- in this category. There are some, however, who take the position that ether amendments would be invalidated if the 18th amendment was declared unconstitutional on this ground. "I've always contended that an amendment which takes away from the people certain rights which)

"The case of the 18th amend-; ' incut, many state legislatures alI ready had be n elected and the) people did not have an opportunity to pass upon th- question even through their legislatures." Dyer said that Chairman George G.attain of the judiciary committee. veteran Pennsylvania repre sentative, concurred in this view, and ho pointed out that former ! Senator Georg" H Williams, Repn.J j Mo., had elaborated on this opinI lon when appearing before the) I committee in the prohibition hear- | Ings early this year. Anti-Saloon Leagu? officials, ex- ■ pressing a desire for an early decision by the supreme court, said thev may ask to intervene in tile ease. They expressed the opinion that the point raised by Clark bad , been nil <1 ujsrn by the court in ! the ease of Hawke versus Ohio. ,In this ease the supreme court i unanimously held invalid an Ohio (constitutional amendment under I which lower courts decreed that jth“ 18th and 19th (woman's stiffItage) am ndments must be voted 'i n in a state referendum following approval by the state legis- ; latnre. Four of the nine justices who (r.ndered that decision are still on i the court—Oliver Wendell Holmes. I Willis Van Devanter, James C. I Mcßeynolds and Louis I). Brandeis. ' The justice department has an-! , nounced that the Clark dscision (would not hamper enforcement in . New Jersey.
