I high school. The coach is Dr. Nash of Indianapolis, who, though unable to give the amount of time to coaching that the jCoaehes of other teams are aide o give to their learns, has managed to develop his aggregation into a formldaole outfit.

Wabash Five Grabs , Winning Points as Contest Winds Up Notre Dame Barely Beaten in Sensational Game Marked by Fast Flay. .CItAWKORDSVII.LE. Iml.. Feb. 27. | A flash of brilliant teamwork and two clever shots by Adams and Burns when ‘ .here was only a few seconds to go, gave the Wabash basket tossers a 28 to 26 victory over Notre Iwnje here last night In a game that was bitterly contested from whistle to whistle, but as cleanout a* j basket contests run. The victory cured the pain of defeat that the Wabash alh totes have suffered since their engagement at Notre Dame earlier in the season. BOTH TEAMS UlsriAi SI'KFD. Both teams showed a great lack of teamwork throughout the game, but they kept golug nt top speed all the time, and the fans were kept keyed up to a high pitch of excitement because of the close margin In the score after the first five minutes of pay. The Scarlet five started out on high, and tield goals by Hunt. Adams and Burns gave them an eight point lead before the Irish found the ring Kennedy started the scoring for Notre Dame with an under the basket shot and Brandy followed with another marker from the 'enter of tile floor. The Catholha hit the basket consistently from that time on and two coals by Mehre evened the ■ount at 13-nll Jtlat before the half ended. Hunt scored again for Wabash lofore the whistle blew, giving his team a 15-to-13 lead at half time. The Irish looked like easy winners when they opened the second period with i. burst of snappy playing that brought t 'in a four point lead. Brandy, Ward aud Kennedy bitting the baskets. The lead seined to give Dortas’ team a bit too much confidence ami they slowed up considerably, allowing the Scarlet to bring the count to a tie. The count see. sawed until the final seeenos of piny, when A lams tipped in a neat follow shot and gave Wabash the victory. WABASH SHOWS PASSING CLASS. Brandy and "Mick" Anderson played the guard positions about aa well as any body that has performed on the local court this season, but at times the Wabash passing machine hit on al! six and it was during these periods that they got their points. Brandy’s three long shots also brought inneb applause from the spectators. “Hank" Meore, star forward and acting captain of the Irish squad, gave them ten of their points, running his total for sixteen games up to the 207 mark.

The locals huve not entirelv recovered from the bruising trip to Terre Haute last week, but they huve hopes of being able to break into the win column against the Quaker team, as the new combination is far stronger upon the defense than any of the lineups that have represented Butler so far this year. The big question la the offense and present indications are that Jones will be a big asset in his floor work, although his basket-getting ability remains untried. Butler fans are hoping that the new combination that Coach Head is trying out will be the one to brenk back into the winning column. With Bastian and Short at forwards, Jones at center and Wood and Staten on the defense, prospects look bright for a victory. Basketball Results J COLLEGE, Wabash, 28; Notre Dame, 26. HIGH SCHOOL.

NOW WANT CHANCE TO FACE CHARGES. “There is nothing for us to do but wait and see If indictments are returned." continued Kearns. "The Investigation has been under way for a long time and both Dempsey myself have offered to help -thrash the thing out. We will welcome any step that will give us a chance to prove that we art- innocent. I am sure that there Is nothing that can be held against either of us. if Dempsey is guilty, then I am guilty."
