PUT UP A HOLLER DO WHITING OWLS

Charge That They Received Rougl (Treatment In Game With Soldiers Saturday Night. ’ • ■ > ... ' 4." ‘ The Whiting Owls made a big wail after returning to their home last Sunday and the Whiting correspondent to the Lake County Times says that they charged the soldiers with rough tactics. They said the game was not clean and that the soldiers resorted to all manner of tactics to win by fair means or foul.. Continuing the Times says: “All the Whiting players were more or less the worse physically for their encounter. Girard received slight internal injuries, ■while Dugan w'as burned on the shoulder because an opponent pinned him to a steam pipe.” The game was rougher that it should have been but the soldiers were no more the offenders than the visitors. \The game was fast and furious and the floor being slick from dancing was responsible for a number of bumps in which the teams fared about equally. Kirk was upset once and had a very hard fall and he, as well as Putts and Parks, have slight bruises on their faeesdf It is hoped that future games will be less rough and that the officials will watch for fouls and call them. % The Whiting team, however, has no kick about the- roughness which they instigated an equal part in from the start.' Aristos still leads them all. We unloaded our sixteenth car for 1912, last week. Perfection sells the flour. "Aristos,” the perfect flour, $1.35; “Lord's Best,” $.1.30. *. . JOHN EGER.
