Botb Manual and Sbortridge will get Into action on the basket-ball court today, the Blue aud White meeting Spiceland this Efternoon on the Shortrldgs hardwood while Coach Morrison and his south siders will go to Bloomington tonight for a battle with the powerful high school quintette of that place. The one-sided victory over Cathedral Tuesday put a lot of pep Into the Shortridge gang and, although little Is know a about the strength of Spiceland tills year. Indications are that the Blue and White will better her lntercholastic percentage in tonight's game. Probably more Interest is attached to Manual’s game tonight than any other contest on the Red /ind White card. A win over Bloomington at the present pace of the south aiders would not be surprising and, coming on top of victories .over Martinsville and Bedford, would just about throw hysterics Into the camps of Sbortridge and Tech. Both Tech and Shortrldge have met Bloomington this year. Tech winning by a comfortable margin and Sbortridge losing Just as comfortably. It is up to Manual tonight to show on which side of the fence It belongs.

INDIANS GRAB YOUNG HURLER Hendricks Signs Mat Downey, Chicago Sandlot StarNew Catcher Obtained. Jack Hendricks added another righthanded pitcher to his 1921 Tribe roster today when he secured the signature of Mat Downey, a Chicago semi-pro. to a contract. Downey made himself famous in the Chicago K. of C. League last summer by winning consistently, and he comes highly recommended to the Indians. He is tall and rangy, built along the same line as Wilbur Scbardt, who pitched for the locals several years ago. Many ball players who have made good In the big leagues have come out of Chicago, and Hendricks keeps an eye on the sandlt stars there every season. He Is well acquainted with the Chicago semi-pro and amateur league managers and gets many tips regarding likely prospects. He was put on Downey a trail through a tip from a friend and he believes the till fellow is worthy of a thorough tryout. The Indians added a third catcher Thursday when they obtained A. J. Smith from the Charleston (S. C.) club. Ho boasts of a hitting average of .350 for the 1920 campaign and Manager Ilejidrieks believes he will make a strong bid for a*regular berth In the American Association. The signing of Smith gives the Uoosiers three catchers, tjia otheis being Gossett and Dixon. The policy of the Indians in grabbing off promising young talent will meet with the fans' approval, because if the recruits happen to possess the talent they make the game livelier with theii youthful pep.

EARLHAM FIVE IN GREAT FORM Same Quaker Line-up That Defeated Purdue May Start Against Wabash. * RICHMOND, Ind., Feb. 18.—It seems probable that Coach Ray Mowe, Maroon and White mentor, will start the same Earlham line-up against against the Wabash Little Giants tonight that worked with such precision against the Purdue quintette earlier in the season when the Boilermakers were taken in tow by the local college five. At least it is a safe bet that the initial five will be chosen from the following: Lawler, Hall, Carey, Goar, Beck and Johnson. The Quakers will need a team that is able to meet the shifty defense of the Little Giants, as It is a known fact that the scoring qualities of the Scarlet players are not limited to any one opponent. . Coach Move spent the first part of the week giving his men gruelling workouts, relaxing only In the final hours before the fray to polish a few rough points on the Quaker defense that is calculated to stop the onslaught of the Wabash baaEvery seat In the Coliseum is sold out for tonight’s fray and standing room is at a premium. Earlham College has reserved an entire section and the crowd will be treated to an exhibition of wellorganized rooting from the Quaker followers. SCARLET BTARB HAMPERED. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind..
