Promptly at ten o’clock Thursday morning the Red and Black representatives of Jefferson high school of Lafayette strode on the Indiana University gymnasium floor to battle against the Bloomington five, winner of the 1919 basket ball championship of Hoosierdom, in what was the opening clash of the 1920 tournament for the Indiana ■high school basket ball championship. These teams in the tourney opener were the same teams that opposed each other in the final contest of the 1919 tournament, a strange coincidence. The Lafayette five avenged its defeat of the year before, winning handily 25 to 15. The opening day play witnessed but one upset, that in which Martinsville, an extremely strong crew, was defeated by the little considered Greencastle netters. The margin of the victors was slight but was sufficient to permit them to enter the second round of. the tourney play today. One other surprise, although .the favorite won, was the scant edge which Anderson hel d over Rochester when the final gong sounded. Anderson, a favorite for state honors, led by a single field goal at the close after trailing their opponents throughout the greater part of the day. Franken, favorite for the championship, deluged Young America, picked as the dark horse of the race, with a basket shower, running up the highest score of the day. The Johnson county entrant looks to be the class of the tournament at this hour. ... / The remaining games of the day went as expected. Bedford showed strong by defeating Lebanon decisively, and may play an important St before the tournament Closes. umbus was a disappointment to their supporters, although winning from Kokomo. Moore hopes will be blasted with the close of today’s play, and by that time the fans will be better able to tell just what teams are the cream of the state. With the pawing of each game the interest grows greater, and the tournament this year is exjected to be the greatest in history.

THREE POTATO VARIETIES YIELD BEST IN INDIANA

Of 25 varieties tested out over Indiana during the last few years, Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio have proven to be the best varieties of potato.es for early planting and Rurals for late planting, according to F. C. Gaylord, of tile horticultural extension staff of Purdue university, who has had charge of this work. Rurals are commonly known as Rural New Yorker, Sir Walter Raleigh, White Giant, Carmen Nd. 3, Late Mosely and Russet Rurals.

PLAN BIG CHURCHMERGER

PROTESTANT CHURCHES OF LAFAYETTE TO B|MLD _ SBOO,OOO CHURCH. Lafayette, Ind., March 11.—Proporing the erection of a cosnmtinity church coating $500,000, which would house all -Protestant denominations in West Lafayette and Purdue University, the formation of an organization of laymen was announced today, following a conference of church officiate in West LaThe plan is the most ambitious church federation enterprise ever attempted in the state. Both the Methodist and Baptist congregations have large churdl structures in West Lafayette, and these denominations as well as several others, have student pastors at Purdue. Recently the Methodists declared their intention of erecting a SBOO,000' church building opposite the Purdue campus to replace the present church, which is said to be too small to accommodate the membership. ’a : The Baptists were the first to suggest the federated church and have succeeded in interesting W number of Methodist laymen. The feeling throughout West Lafayette, supporters of the movement say, is. that one large and jwwerful church could better serve the spiritual and social needs of the town and university than any number of competing churches and pastors. The success of the project, it is said, rests on the decision of the Methodists as to whether or not they are willing to abandon their plans for the new Methodist church. Committees were appointed today by Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Disciples of Christ, and they will meet soon to take action. Node of the pastors of the churches is taking an active part in the movement. It is said none of the churches will lose its identity in the proposed federation, although the congregations would unite tar religious service and local church work, but all present connections, such as mission work and other denominational activities will be carried on separately by the various denominations. The proposed church would serve several thousand, persons.
