But \vha'ever happens the contest is surely one of the high spots of the year in college basketball. De Pauw will muster its full strength against Franklin as Lau.glillh is back in the line-up after a lay-off with a broken nose. It will be the final collegiate game for Wilis, I.aughlin, White and Irvin. How those nutters will go' Several hundred fans from Greencastle will make the trip to Franklin
