RICIIHOND TEAM READY TO MEET L1UNCIE FIVE Richmond's revived polo team will irneet Muncie tonight at the Coliseum and the boys are primed tor another victory. The ability of the -Muncie quintet is not underestimated, but after defeating them last night the locals are primed for another victory and they intend to add another scalp to their belts. With,' Griffith on the team and the Quigley boys playing the rushes Richmond is a different team than it was a few days back and they can be depended upon to give a good account of themselves. ' ' The local boys have demonstrated l their ability by taking both Indianapolls and Muncie into camp and with the suppirt of the polo fans there is no reason why Muncie should not be sent back home with a tag. GRIFFITH STARS IN MUNCIE GAME WON BY LOCALS

Richmond's polo team has evidently v, struck its stride for It trimmed the f Muncie bunch last night 5-2 taking the i. long end of the score in the last pe- .' riod. Both teams played desperately during the first two periods and at the Vend of the second session the score 'Was 2-2. It was anybody's game. The Quakers had the same team on the floor that beat Indianapolis the k - other night and during the last spasm if they got busy and put in three little "pills which was a little too. much for the Muncie boys to overcome. : The game was faster than the stops would indicate for the ball was kept out on the floor most of the time with a great exhibition of defensive work on both sides. ' Griffith was the star of the night and made some groat steps defending O'Metz in a style zi. only a man of his ability can. - O'Metz had ai Rtcps to his credit and Pitts 32. - Sox Quigley scored 3 goals and. Evans 2, Farhner and Willis ms scored for Muncie.

PORTER REVIEWS

PLAYERS BY CLARENCE PORTER. Every member of the R. H. S. travelling squad declares the trip a success. The style of play encountered is new to" this part of the state' and if practised and used by the local team it will give them a better show In the finals. The Lebanon school picks out the heaviest men in their freshman year and pumps basketball into them for all they're worth. By the time "Piggy" Lambert, ex-Wabash star, gets through with them they should and do show some fast basketball. They play both guards back while Richmond plays five men on the ball at all times. On the Coliseum floor, Richmond's style of play is the best, while on a small floor it can be stopped with a little help from the referee. , By help from the referee it Is meant the permission of blocking In a mild form, which is used by all colleges. At Lebanon when a Richmond player would get the ball and start it down the floor a Lebanon man would charge him and if the ball did happen to be passed to a teammate the passer would be thrown ' to the floor or into the crowd by force of contact. This causes the loss of one player in the advance up the floor. By the time about three have been done this way the opponents have the ball. On the Coliseum floor the players have more room to dodge and get away. Richmond plays a fast snappy game which is due to the untiring efforts of Coach Nohr, who advocates the passing of the ball when an opponent charges. The three teams played on the trip would try to ward off an attack usually with hip, elbow and fists. . By the time one charges a player two or three times, he gets rather leary due to self preservation. At Crawford sville the players usually ducked and ran about six or seven steps. Then they were considered fast by the home papers who claimed the game a runaway. From our standpoint as well as theirs it was a runaway. They were usually in the lead though. The team had a good time in every town and they are not guilty of going to bed much before midnight. At Lebanon a wrestling match was indulged in by Messrs. Brown and Towle. It should have been a draw but at the last moment the dignified manager was neatly pushed from the bed to the floor with a resounding whack. This ended the fray as the snow without was almost foot deep and very few barns were open. Mr. Towle challenged his opponent to a match in Crawfordsville the next evening and then the party adjourned to a neighboring confectionery as guests of Mr. Towle. At Crawfordsville we were lodged at the best hotel and had the best of meals. After dinner we went to the armory and practised goal shooting and then went to our rooms to rest. The Crawfordsville team is a "home floor" team. They are very good on their own floor but are at loss on an opponents floor. They played at New Richmond and lost by a one sided ! score. Waynetown beat New Rich- ! tnond on the same floor by twelve i points. j The Richmond team should be complirher.tod fcr their ability. Time and

ANS ANTICIPATE

svn&3ifai

BY H. H. DIDDLEBOCK. During 1915 baseball In Richmond was given a black eye by the weather man who was in sorrow evidently for his tears poured down upon us and put the great national game on the blink. It just simply rained and rained and the tears of the baseball magnates were almost as plentiful as those of the guy who turned on the showers. May 1 was an auspicious occasion for it marked the opening of the S. A. L. season and it was a great day for the fans. There was a big automobile parade' and lots of speechmaking and the boys in their brand new uniforms threw out their chests and boasted about how easy it was going to be for them to bring home that old pennant. Vigrans Win Out. Well, it would be a long and an old story to drag the reader through the entire season and recount all the games that were won and lost. It is sufficient to say that the struggle was a great one and was not decided until the last game when the Vigrans and the Natcos played deciding the tie and the supremacy of the league. The Vigrans won that memorable game on Sept. 11. defeating their opponents 2-1. This was followed by a grand banquet at the Y. M. C. A. on Friday, October 1 which was attended by members of all the teams and a number of invited guests besides the pfficers of the league. Early in December the annual election of officers was held when George Brehm was re-elected president. There was no change in the league leaders excepting in the selection of a secretary and one trustee. Karl Meyers was eletced secretary and Alfred Bavls trustee. At a Jater meeting it was the opinion of many that the league should be strictly a factory organization and application was made by a number ot firms for admittance. This. will necessitate the dropping of. the Vigrans and D. & W. teams and will likely mean the admittance of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Starr Piano company. Harmony Continues. Mr. Vigran "and Mr. Dennis, both of whom did much to make, the league a success are to be commended for their attitude in dropping out of the organization without question for they realize that if they had made a fight it would have stirred up a lot of trouble and there would have been no

TOUR

tEARU MUCH again a player would be Jammed Into a wall but no one was badly hurt. The forward whom McBride was guarding objected to being held down, so he calmly -lammed him In the slats. McBride claims that he can feel that rib bending back and forth. The referee, a tall slender product of the high school could see none of the rough tactics used by the Crawfordsville team. When a Richmond player tried to get at a man from the back he usually received a poke in the face from an elbow. Most of Crawfordsvllle's goals were made on uncovered throws. The Richmond guards , could not keep up the pace. Pitts was still sick , and could hardly be expected to do his best. He did not play up to his standard in any of the games due to sickness. The floor was of regulation size but the lighting was poor in one end. There were two out of, bounds and two hard walls on the other side. The team met the same style of play as used in Lebanon only a little rougher. One of the goals had a brace which was not fastened to the back stop and as a result several In and out goals were thrown. - Lebanon, Crawfordsville and Waynetown all had showers in the building and Crawfordsville furnished towels. After the game we went to the hotel and got a lunch and then went to our rooms. Then we went to Mr. Nohr and Towle's room to do our writing and to witness the wrestling match. Much writing was indulged in by the fellows. If .you don't think so ask some of the fair sex of the High school Some spent forty to fifty cents on post al cards and stamps and the. hotel people w.ere requested several times to produce stationery. The wrestling match came off as per schedule and Mr. Towle ended it by giving Brownie a "Dutch rub." At Waynetown we were treated roy ally. We ate dinner there at a private house about 2:30 because we arrived there at 2:14. We had eaten breakfast at 9:30. We had a good old fashioned country dinner minus pie and cake. Then some went to bed until seven o'clock. They have one of the finest build ings and gymnasiums of any town of that size In the state. The same was in Richmond's fa vor the first half ending 20-17. The little floor and the blocking game played against Richmond soon turned the tide. With one minute to play a Waynetown forward made two field goals from the center of the floor. Pitts showed a decided improvement over his other games., Maloney a .former Notre Dame star refereed the game. After the game we went to the same house for a large supper. Then we went to a picture show which was opened for us in order to kill time, as we had until 2 o'clock to wait for the train. This was certainly obliging of the management. We waited in the depot until 2 o'clock. We were from 2 until 6 getting to Indianapolis, nuy. five miles. We were in luck as a train was about ready to pull out for Rich mond, and arrived at 6:30, a tired out bunch. By resting this week and prac ticing next week, we will promise to defeat Stivers.

SEASON ! 1916

harmony, and neither of them want to stand In the way of a successful season for the organisation during the season of 1916. On Sunday June 6 the I. S. L. opened the season at Athletic park and it was thought for a time (before the opening) that Richmond was going to see some big league stuff but my what I a disappointment. The team lasted I nknut a mnnth and . hnlf and rinrtne that time did not win a game. Let us draw a veil over our woes. On August 15 Sam Vigran took over Athletic park and started the Richmond baseball team which had a very successful season both financially and otherwise. Fans are still talking about that sixteen inning game played with Williamsburg on August 22 which result ed in a 0-0 tie and was called on ac count of darkness. MINERS GET INCREASE CALUMET, Mich., Jan. 1. Fourteen thousand employes of the Calumet and Hecla and associated mines and smelters received a ten per cent advance beginning today. The increases . reach $750,000 a month and affects a dozen mines. SOCIETY IS QUIET WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 New Year's Day was observed in the nation's capital in a very general manner. Every cabinet officer tendered receptions to the members of their staff and their families while all of the embassies and legations were open to receive guests. All government departments and the majority of the business establishments were closed for the day. According to the last federal census there were at that time 13,394,213 foreignborn whites in the United States. COLISEUM Skating This Afternoon ; POLO TONIGHT
