Indiana's five is stronger this year, while Purdue lost three regulars and Coach Lambert has not developed any players of their caliber yet, althouga he has several youngsters in the making that Bbonld come 'hrough with a little more experience. Due to examinations this week Coach Lambert has been unable to give his men as rard a work-out as expected, but nevertheless he is '-onfident that they will be in just as good a shape. None of the met is on the sick list and all are ready for thj effort to push Indiana off the top rung of the conference. Who will start the game for Purdue is not a certainty, bus the following men are likely starters: Masters and Eversman. forwards; Coifing, center: Captain White and Miller, guards. Coach Lambert has a good supply of reserves to rush in in Holwerda, Haigis and Leverenz. forwards; Chaffe. center, and Hiser. guard. The largest crowd of the season is expected to witness the game.

Local fans and students are showing great Interest relative to the De Pauw line-up for tonight. Unfounded rumors are afloat here that "Tiny” Ilirt will again wear a Tiger court suit tonight. Hlrt is a local lad and a freshman in the university. During the first part of the season he won a berth on the De Pauw squad at the back guard position and j with his size and playing ability was developing into oup of the most important cogs in the Tiger machine.

De I'auw will entertain the alumni athletic board, the faculty athletic committee and the j coaching staff of the institution at a dinner in Rector Hall The purpose of the gathering is to talk over the present athletic situation of De Pauw and to plan to improve it If possible. Athletics nave been improving at De Pauw since the alumni athletic board was created in 1913. It is the aim of this body to keep developing athletics here. Members of the board are nominated by the president of the college and elected by the university board of trustees. The last dinner at which the athletic board met was given for them by the faculty athletic committee in 1914. At ' that meeting a movement was started for the erection of anew gymnasium. In j the course of a short time the project ! was realized.

Em-Roes in Wind-up Home Contest With New York Machine The final stand of the fast flying EmRoes before an Indianapolis crowd will be made next Tuesday night on the *‘Y” hardwood when the New Vork Nationals come here on their tour through this part of the land. The New Yorkers have been barnstorming ail over the country and will take a hurried survey of tne State, meeting most of she strong quintettes in Indiana. However, this will be their first gume in this State. The squad is rated as about the best Independent outfit in the East, having won every game on Us schedule, with the exception of one of the early starts. The New York Nationals are ail former college players, two or three of whom were stars on Canadian college teams. The remainder have gained prominence during the last few years with our own Eastern colleges and have since continued to hold the Eastern basket spotlight under the colors of the present organization. The club boasts a floor guard that has not been held scoreless in three years, and in every game has rung up a neat total from the field. His' name Is Clark. After the Tuesday game the Era-Roes will spend the rest of their season invading the camps of various strong State teams. The squad is hitting high now and will make matters warm for any team. The easy win over Earlham and the Tipton A. A. five Indicates clearly that Callahan’s troupe has come into its own. Horseshoe Meeting Homer Marsh, president of the Indianapolis Horseshoe Association, has called a meeting of the members to be held in the council chamber of the city hall next Wednesday evening. James H. Lowry, superintendent of parks, and U. Walter Jarvis, supervisor of recreation, will be present to tell of plans for making the sport even more successful this year thau last, when all attendance records on the city courts were brokeu. More courts i are to be Installed In some of the city j parks. There is a particular demand for j four at Riley playground to take care of the west side enthusiasts, Mr. Jarvis said. State Rifle Association Members of the executive council of the Indiana State Rifle Association met at the office of Gen. Harry B. Smith today to plan for the annual midwinter irdoor rifle matches. Culver Military Academy has extended au invitation to the association to hold the shoot on the academy indoor range, one of the best in the country, and it is predicted the Invitation will be accepted.

Stamm getting the other two with a field goal The rangy center of the winning team was in the fight all the way and had it not been for his timely shooting of a field goal in the second stanza, the Southport rally probably would have put over a victory.

WE ARE WORKING DAY AND NIGHT

The “Deadly” Parallel

In answer to the question, “How can you turn out a

suit at less cost than other tailors?” I submit the fol-

lowing—a comparison of cost and methods

Average Tailoring Company RENT —The average uptown tailor will pay f 150 to S3OO a month for his display room and from S2O to SSO for a shop. SALARIES —The averago tailor pays good salaries, but having only a few workmen he uses his high-priced tailors to do work that low r er-priced operators could do as well or better. SALESMEN —The average uptown tailor uses a corps of salesmen, most of them well-paid men who will give you splendid service, but you pay the salaries. OVERHEAD— The dressing of windows, bookkeeping and various minor items must be paid for —eventually by the man who buys. CREDITS —The tailor who gives credit seldom finishes a year’s business without soma loss. The man who buys must make up the loss. BUYING— Few tailors buy their woolens and trimmings in sufficient quantities to get the lowest prices. To the best of my knowledge, there are but three tailors in this city who buy direct from the big woolen mills.

WABASH KEEPS UP FAST PACE Vaughan’s Crew Adds Notre Dame to List of Basketball Victims. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., ,Tn. 28The State championship aspirations of a team heretofore undefeated in collegiate basket-ball this reason wore blasted into bits when tbe speedy Wabash athletes ui der Coach Vaughan’s wdng outsmarted the husky Irish from Notre Dame to win by a 30-to-lf> count last night. Notre Dame started the game with what appeared to be a formidable passing system, but the Wonderful guarding of Burns and Grater under the basket soon threw the Benders out of their stride and during the second half the visiting forces were completely demoralized. UPST A TER 8 FIRST • TO GET POINTS. Notre Dame spurted away to au early lead when McDermott caged three foul tosses in rapid succession. Goldsberry then knotted the count with a field and foul goal for Wabash, only to have the Irish jump to the lead again with McDermotts field toss. A field goal by Adams, followed shortly by his foul toss then put the Little Giants in the lead | position, which they held from then un- | til the close of the contest. | The teams were fighting it out on even ■ terms, the score standing 10 to 9 in favor of Wabash with but two minutes to go Hn the first period when Thorn, Golds- ! berry and Adams each uncorked a distance goal, giving Wabash a 16 to 9 advantage at half time. Thorn had substituted for Goldsberry at center and Goldsberry had taken Schaulaub’s place at forward. The Wabash forces came back with renewed fight in the second session. Their passing was better and they' were working the ball down the court through the strong Anderson-Kiley combination to take more "sure thing" shots. Goldsberry was well taken care of iu this session and the Wabashers switched to Adams as their heavy scorer. ‘Cat” hung down around the basket and Mropped iu three neat ones after his teammates had passed around the Blue and Gold utliletes. Burns, Thorn and Goldsberry each scored a field goal in this session and "Goldie” also counted twice from the, free throw line. MLII HE UN ABLE , TO SHOW FORM. One of the surprises Incidental to the big game was tbe failure of Captain Mehre of the Notre Dame crew to shine. This husky pivoter hid averaged seven field goals per game in the contests played by the Notre Dame team previous to last night, and Crawfordsville fan* feared he would cut loose 1 n the big Wabash scrap, but last Jiight was not Mehre’s night to get the points, and he went through the contest without a single tally. Adams, the Wabash forward, was the high point man of tle game, counting six times from the field and once from the foul line, and running him a close second in this department was McDer mott of the Notre Dame crowd The latter staged a nifty exhibition all his own by caging nine foul tosses iti ten attempts. lie also bad a field goal. Golds berry had five foul throws and two field goils Garvey and Grant were the only N'otre Dame men who assisted McDermott In the scoring, each getting a field goal. N. D.-WABASH NOTES. The more Hoosicr basket fans see of the Wabash team, the more they realize the value and power of the Burns-Grater guarding combination. The situ >tion appeared difficult -for Wabash in the early moments of play last night when Mehpe was getting the Jump on Goldsberry. but when tbe Irish came out of their own

Leon Tailoring Company RENT —I occupy the entire second floor of the point at Massachusetts avenue and New York street. I have eight times the space and one-half the rent as compared with the average uptown ground-floor tailor. SALARIES —I probably pay the same wages as are paid by my smaller competitors, but my people specialize. The output costs me less. SALESMEN —This is a luxury in which I do not indulge. My cutters and tailors are usually called in to take the measures. My samples are on racks with prices in plain figures. I allow the customer to make his own selection. OVERHEAD—My overhead expense consists of one bookkeeper, rent, and a few other incidentals that are minor compared with those of the ground-floor stores. CREDITS —Cash on delivery is my invariable rule. . Losses because of allowing credit are saved and the saving passed on to the man who trades with me. BUYING —I am one of the very few tailors In the city who can buy direct from the mills. A few days ago I sent in a check for more than $5,000 to the largest woolen organization in America. I believe I buy woolens at as low prices as the biggest tailors In the state.

Never Asked Time Out

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 28.—Tolas M. Huffman, Ohio State football captain in 1920, established a unique Buckeye gridiron record last season. He played every minute of the eight games, never asked for time out as captain and was not penalized once.

territory they ran into the Scarlet defense barrier and found that the trick of "feeding” Captain Mehre in the vicinity of the basket was next to impossible. The Wabashers themaelves did not get a whole raft of under-the-basket shots, because the Anderson-Kiley and Ander-son-Garvey combination were also capable of cutting a few f-incy figures, but the Scarlet goal getters were "right,” and made the most of their opportunities. Karl Huffine, assistant athletic director at Wabash. mt Vote- D<— ■ players the "double O” before they left the dressing room and whistled himself a little tune. He didn't think they came that big in basket-bail. Alter the game he was all smiles and converted to the oid saying that “the bigger they come the harder they fall.” "Roe" Klley of the Notre Dame team was eliminated on four personals in the second half, but after the game Golds-t-erry went around to shake dukes with the opposing floor guard and tell him that one foul checked against him belonged to another player. That’s not bad sportsmanship. “Sailor” Thorn, the youngster who is going in at center for Wabash quite frequently, has plenty of pep and a little a ore training under Vaughan should make him eligible for big league basketball. Chet Grant, the Crawfordsville boy on the Notre Dame team, gets around the floor in jeat style and puts up a mean battle for the ball on every tip-off. Although the Notre Dame athletes grew a trifle wild in the second session, they never lost their spirit, and if somebody liad handed them a football they probably would have made a better showing. The Notre Dame squad left Crawfordsville this morning for Greencastie, where they meet the De Pauw Tigers tonight. Valpo May Appear in Coast Football Game VALPARAISO, Ind. Jan. 28.—A football game between Valparaiso University aud the University of Southern California .to be played at Los Angeles, Cal., next Thanksgiving day, is practically assured, according to announcement made here Thursday by Coach Keogan.

Notre Dame was offered the date earlier in tne yesr, but could not consider it as the Michigan Aggies had been scheduled for the Turkey day event. State Amateur Play Under Way at Auburn AUBURN. Ind., Jan. 21.—The Auburn sectional tourney gomes of the (State Independent Amateur BasketBall Association got under way here today with the Stroh and Wolf Lake teams scoring the first victories.

Hendricks Returns Carrying Contract Signed by Sickingr Star Shortstop Satisfied With Berth and Terms—Tribe to Play Dodgers. Manager Jack Hendricks returned from. Cincinnati today with the encouraging news that Eddie Sicking, shortstop, had signed a Hoosier 1921 contract. Sicking had announced previously that he was satisfied with his transfer to the Indianapolis Club, but with his signature on a contract the Indian fans now will feel that be is one of them. Sicking comes to tbe Tribe as a well recommended performer with a record that backs up the nice things being said of his ability as a ball player. He played with both the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds and is well versed in high class baseball. Manager Hendricks believes that with Sicking covering the short field the fans will cease to forget Sammy Crane, as Sicking is not only a capable fielder, but is rated a stronger batsman than Crane. While in Cincinnati Hendricks held a short conference with August Herrmann and out in a bid for any surplus pitching talent the Reds might have after the training gison. Vice President Smith wired from Crowley, La., the spring camp of the Tribesmen, that the Chamber of Commerce of that place had arranged for two exhibition games with the Brooklyn Nationals. According to word from Smith the exhibitions are to be staged in New Orleans March 30 and 31, but it is thought that other games between the two teams will be dated up for the Crowley grounds. According to the present plans of the Crowley boosters the Indians will be sent against three major league clubs and the Beaumont Texas League team on various dates. The big league dates secured are with the Athletes, Cardinals and Dodgers. Vice President Smith hag sent back favorable reports concerning the facilities for training at Crowley and he Is busily engaged in completing arrangements for the Tribe’s visit to the little Louisiana city.
