Weil Legion Team Tried

; Anyway I

The much-hf raided Red Crown-I.f-t'on basketball gams was staged 01 Friday evening at the (Vntr:il school Krn, the final scoro loinsr to J i wilii th- VvhitiiiK team victorious. AIthouRh the score wia excer-ilin-ily mi. aided the many fan in attendance had the opportunity of watchi:- one of the best teams in the euinirv in action. The Kod Crowns ure w it ho . t a doubt a. classy aRKtfK'ation of lasVctba'l play rs. Their team won;, shootinqr and guarding were a revelation to r.:iiy. They played . tr-ass-lng-game and kept shiftinsr about t!vfloor In unison. It was proven thai class, backed up by practice and experience cannot be overcome. The wcik of Glesel, Foeney. Marquardt. ct el was of the most brilliant kind. "The. l.eslon five must be jiveu credit fr at least trylnfj their hardest at all times for they never let up. but kept piUKElnET away, making- a basket now and then and spoiling- the Crowns' team work as best they c uld. Kvery ifian on the squ.nl w as -it von a chance ml each played the best paine possible. Sheiidan. the smallest man on the floor, put up a scrappy pame as did other members of the tram. The Post five was up airainst the absolute" and realized it and yet they played just as hard as if they were in a position where a basket or two might win. For five minutes it looked as though the L,eiion stood a chance to cop ai they led their more experienced opponents 5 to 2, but when the visitors became 1 -rated and accustomed to the floor they dodjred the posts in the court and began to drop the ball through the basket. As advertised I'addy Priscoll appeared in a Tied Crown "unie," and played a pood game, but after seeing him perform on the gridiron, the diamond and basketball court, it is !--lieved that his proper makeup is the moleskins, although he plays a clever fame of baseball and basketball. The crowd was all that could be pxpected or accommodated for that mat Ur and they became so nervous and excited while waiting for the game to start that even the north bleachers gave way under the strain. Fortunately there were no casualties.

From the day of its organization to the present moment the Company has put forth every effort to make and sell goods of the highest quality and always has been satisfied to work oh a small profit. It has made money for its 4711 stockholders by reason of the volume of business done. In its dealings with the men and women who make up its working organization, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has maintained a policy of fairness and liberality which has held its men and inspired them with the high ideals of service which have been the key to its prosperity. Today the 22,000 employees are working as one man to increase production and decrease the cost of manufacture and distribution, for they know that their every effort is appreciated in terms which are substantial. The working and living conditions of the men and women employed by the Company always have been matters of major interest to those in authority, Under the plan now in process of organization, the employees will be given an ever-increasing voice in the management of their affairs. The spirit of fairness which animates both the Company and its employees, in their relations with one another, has again proved that all that is needed to increase production and insure industrial peace is to make it possible for the employer and employee to sit down and discuss all phases of their problems man to man.
