MEDARYVILLE GAME TONIGHT

The Medaryville basketball team is scheduled to come elean to Rensselaer to play their return game tonight. From what we’ve heard, they better step “elean” and play clean. Believe you me, its getting to be a risk to go to some of these small tows and try to play B. B. in a telephone booth or a ceiling too 'low for a bowling alley. It takes all the jazz out of life. I’d rather go to Russia to preach. I don’t mind being rode like a motorcycle or torn to tatters and pushed into the wall. I don’t mind being gagged while somebody blows gjy safe and steals my wrist-watch. I don’t mind taking my first flowers in a wreath—but I don’t call that playing basket ball| Teams from Rensselaer have taken a lot and want to take the limit, but when folks go too far—ask the Kaiser. Here’s hoping the boys have enough backers out tonight to feel safe in weaving a few baskets against this team of treat-’em roughs. It’s a hard Hfe for the athlete but people do say, that riding in a Franklin sedan is just like traveling without leaving home.
