ao Murray was an attorney in Hammond, chairman of the democratic city committee ind the life of the party. When he left for Ft. Benjamin I!arri?on to enter the officers' traitiinC achool there was no doubt in th" minds of his friends that he would receive a commission, for Floyd had always been successful in anything he undertook". When the other fellow held three, kin? he had three aces. In one year as coach he put the Fast Chicago high school on the athletic map in football and basketball, winning the county championship, in the formal and the district tournament in the latter. At college he made the football team, won debates, made a collection of policemen's club and was president of his class. In the courts he was a favorite with the attorneys and successful at. the bar. And all this despite the fact that each and every one of the teachers he had during his s-hool days predicted a dire and lamentable end for him.

NOTES Cr THIS GAME. Fans ere interested in the battle bei ivf fn DU'on and Laslry who tried his best to guard Dillon. Fond, the Owls Club center, made a Siit hit with every one. Byers no sooner got into the game when he became peeved because some one pushed their knee into him. The blocking of Springgate was great. In the first half Meteors made but one bssket and real lucky one. Watson of the Meteors was good at "be free throw game, makirg five out of his six chances. Lew Griffith made five out of seven. Ti-.is was the first appearance of Rex in an Owls Club uniform.

Griffith's only basket was miide riKhtl under the. basket with th6 Mteors half! around him. Pretty work. . Puhrucq was' in tli" :riixui from ili. minute he cot into the ;atv,e un'il th..
