SPORTS AND

OUTPLAYED HIGH LOSES 31-19 DUEL BY FRANK DUNING. Tt all came about when . Mascot Happy. Ward became lost in the scuMc. Richmond high school basketball learn, with a record of 15 games won cut of 18 played this season, boarded 'the Pennsy flyer yesterday afternoon bound for the camp of Anderson high. With :in abundance of confidence in its ability to repeat the 50-19 dose handed the A. J I. S. some time ago, . II. S. looked forward to a pleasant sojourn at Anderson. Little did they anticipate the 31-19 tragedy. When the conveyance bearing the "hopes" oMhe Red and White arrived at the Anderson terminal In the turmoil lind confusion no one apparently noted the fact that Mascot "Happy" "Ward was not among those present. Happy Ward Missing. Not until the team had donned its armor and trotted out on the enemy's court did Coach Nohr and his assistants note the fact that something and nomething essential, too was missing. Happy Ward was not present. Just where the midget jinx of the local crew was at this time is another story complete in itself. At any rate, Richmond was without its mascot and that meant that the Quakers couldn't play basketball. Perhaps the fact that Anderson, thanks to the efforts of its new coach Rus Raker, old Miami universiay star, was! a far different team than that aggregation which represented the Red and (ireen at the recent game in Richmond had somthing to do with it. Perhaps the Quakers were suffering from overenniidence or just plain indifference. The fart however remains that Anderson outplayed the local crew from the Mart. Anderson played the better pine of the two teams and deserved to win. Enthusiasm second only to that produced by the Richmond school in the games in Richmond, marked the spirit of the crowd of some odd 1,000 Anderfionians attending the game. And the fact that this contingent of A. II. S. noise was plpased to witness the downfall of the doughty Quakers need not be mphasized. As; to the game itself. Richmond started strong and for a short period in the initial stanza seemed to have an edge. Foul point baskets by R. Parker and a field goal trapped by C. Porter gave the invaders a margin at start of the fray. Toward the middle of the first round things began to look very much Anderson. The floor half the size of the Coliseum court and with out of bounds on either side was a big handicap to Richmond feam play. With the husky A. H. S. guards riding the Richmond forwards, the local crew obtained few open shots at the meshings. Anderson played consistently during the first half which closed with the score, 17-11, Anderson plurality. The second chapter was more Anderson. "With Ramsey, giant center, Olvey and McDaniels, forwards breaking uwav from the Richmond defense Hie total of the trans-state five matured rapidly. And Anderson basket shooters missed few shots once given the opportunity to score. Seven minutes before the close of the game, Happy Ward, Tal Jessup and R. Dollins made their appearance. MACHINE QUINTET TARES TWO GAMES Scores of 1SI and 190 contributed by John Vlrich in the first two games of the scries between the Machine and Seeding end Seeding A. S. M. league fives at the "Y" alleys last night, gave the Machine crew two games of the set. The scores: Machine.

EARLHAM EXPECTS TO FINISH STRONG With the cancellation of the DePauw games, Earlham basketball five at present has but one game booked for the remainder of the season. Franklin comes to the Coliseum next Friday night. Last night, the Franklinites, playing on a foreign floor, swamped Butler 24 to 12, and thereby cinched their claim to the runner-up honor in I. G. A. L. circles. About the only blot on the record of the Baptists is that 24-17 wallop handed by the Quakers last Friday. In case the local collegians can repeat the trick in the coming game Earlham will be enabled to make a strong finish among teams of the secondary.

CICERO MAY ENTER RICHMOND TOURNEY If arrangements can possibly be made Cicero high school basketball team, the five that battled New Castle high to a 28-28 five minute overtime game at New Castle last night, will enter the district tourney at Richmond, a member of the team said last night. Cicero logically should enter the Anderson meeting. It appears however that the Cicero boys through the influence of New Castle team members favor Richmond as their battling ground for tourney "honors. FALL RIVER PLAT , SELLS OUT FAST Plat for the opening game of the Richmond-Fall River series to be played at the Coliseum Wednesday night of next week opened yesterday. The demand for reservations was the heaviest recorded this year and at this early date it appears that the entire house will be sold out several days in advance of the first game. Tuesday night the Fall River club plays at Muncie.

He intends erecting a hangar on the roof of a building which he owns and in which he has his offices and will use a latest model aeroplane to make his morning dash to business and to return home again at night. Architects are now drawing the plans for the structure in New York. PROMOTERS ARRANGE AFFAIRS OF LEAGUE Muddled condition of affairs of the S.

Tom Longboat, the famous Canadian Indian runner, has enlisted in the Canadian army, and will report for training within a few days. Longboat retired from athletic competition several years ago. When he presented himself for enlistment he said that he thought the time had come for even married men to "do their bit" for their King and country. FOOTBALL IN SPRING TRIED AT EARLHAM Spring football, a new wrinkle in athletics at the local school, is to be introduced at Earlham college this spring. Following the custom of larger in stitutions of the country, Coach II. E. Whiteside believes that two practice sessions of the gridiron game each week will go a long way toward rounding out prospective material for next fall's eleven. Of course no s,crimmage will be indulged in at this early date. The men will however be drilled in the rudiments of the game. First sessions of spring football practice will be held as soon as the weather permits. LECTURES ON ROADS There will be a stercopticon lecture in the high school, auditorium next Tuesday evening, February 29, by Mr. Boykin, government engineer in the road department of agriculture. This lecture was delivered to the road men at Purdue university last month and is very entertaining and instructive and the Richmond public is very fortunate in having this opportunity. Mr. Boykin is being brought here by the National Old Trails association and thi3 entertainment will be free. GHOST IS RACCOON. SULLIVAN, Ind., Feb. 26.

POLO BECOMES MORE POPULAR OVER INDIANA That the game of roller polo is fajf becoming popular in other cities of the state outside of Richmond Muncic and Indianapolis, is evidenced by th fact that amateur clubs and semi-ania teur clubs are being organized in Anderson and Alexandria. That Anderson is becoming enthusiastic over the sport and probably will see to it that Anderson is represented by a professional league club by next winter was intimated by an Anderson sportsman in an interview with a Palladium reporter last night. The com pletion of the new coliseum at Anderson gives that city one of the best floors in the state. Anderson fans are displaying considerable interest In the amateur polo team of that place, and would like to see it hooked up with the Richmond Amateur club. Anderson's crew is captained by Russ Bell, Cox, William?, Cartwright and J. Cox, all Anderson boys, make up the team. An Anderson official intimated last night that be would make an attempt to book a game or series of games with a picked crew of Richmond amateur players. The Alexandria amateurs, it is said, would like to book a game with the local crew. MUNCIE SWAMPS CAPITAL TEAM MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 26.
