Basketball Team Went, to Delphi in Weak Condition.

The militia basketball team went to Delphi in a weakened condition. John Morgan, regarded as the allaround man of the team, was prevented from going because of the death of his uncle, George W. Burk, of Delphi. The other team members, however, were determined to do all in their power to overcome his absence and to win the game if it is possible. Manager Tut our, ’Dr. Or F. Johnson and Simon Thompson accompanied the team, the latter as rqferee. It is said that a great amount of enthusiasm has been worked up at Delphi and that the band paraded the streets there Monday night, followed by basketball enthusiasts carrying banners.
