MODOC SUFFERS FIRST DEFEAT: LANING STARS
Richmond, 35; Modoc, 15. Cap Brown and bis crew of rejuvinated R. H. S. all-star basketball warriors made a Ford march into the camp of Modoc 'high, Just over the boundary Into Randolph county, last right, and, after a pitched battle during which a large quantity of real basketball was on tap, routed the opposing forces. It was the first game Modoc high has lost this season. The Randolph county five, which is rated the peer of anything in this section of the state, had won eight consecutive games! It had intended to finish up the seas'on auspiciously by defeating Richmond. Laning Fills Hole. The high team that represented Richmond last night was shy two varsity members. Al Laning, veteran R. II. S. pivoteer, was at center In place of Run Parker, who taking no chances on his eligibility for next year. W. Meranda, a local high school letter man, played Porter's position. At start of play it was evident that Richmond was to have trouble. The first half was close from start to finish and while the Quakers led from the that that "Husky Cy" Pitts drove down the floor and located one, It was the hardest kind of task to keep a lead. The half closed, 9-7, Richmond. Richmond "came-back" In the final. The size of the floor and the style of play used by the enemy was such that one scoring system worked for Richmond. With Al Laning and his excessive length encamped under the Modoc goal and with the rest of the team feeding the ball, it was a case of good-night Modoc. Laning scored nine field baskets by this system in the final round. It is probable that M. H. S. will be brought to Richmond for a return game. The score: Modoc. GIs. Fls.. F.Msd. Pts.

JESS AND MORAN EACH PROMISES TO LAND K, 0.
NEW YORK. March 25. Jess Willard and Frank Moran today eagerly await the bang of the gong that will send them into their ten round battle tonight In Madison Square Garden before a crowd beyond 12,000. Before the bells toll the midnight hour a new chapter will be written in (he history of pugilism; one that may tell how a new champion was made, or how the present one clearly established his right to be called the king of ring warriors. Or will it be a chapter that tells of a fiasco, that recounts how two men Ftaged a burlesque on a padded mitt contest and collected for their efforts the biggest purses ever doled out for a ten round exhibition. Who can tell? Both men are trained to the minute. Neither can alibi a defeat with "lack of condition." Approximately four weeks of training for both have hardened their bodies until they seem able to resist the impact of shrapnel. Yet each man confidently predicts that he will score a knock out victory over the other.

TRACK SQUAD IN THIN GAR
STARTS TRIALS
The 1916 track and field season of the Richmond high school opened auspiciously last night, when a large squad of the thinly-clads took to the cinders and field for the initial workout of the season. Despite the fact that many promising track men were with the basketcontjngent and could not appear for the first workout. Coach Kohr was well pleased with the turnout and with the material on hand, and can see nothing whatever but a winning track crew for the R. H. S. Every member of the large squad on deck last night displayed an abundance of "pep", and "thusni" wa3 the watchword. Nohr Plans Campaign. Coach Nohr has decided on a systematic track and field campaign for his athletes this spring, and with the added incentive of the state sectional meet proposition, has the backing of every athlete in school. The team this year will be a veter-, an one. Davis, McGuire, Long. Dollins, Wilson. Leiter, Brumley, Krich, Smith, Morel, Morris, Shelton, Brown, Meranda, Pitts, White and Tomlinson are a few of the old reliables. Material for the dashes and middle distance events is plentiful. Johnny Meranda, H. Brown, Pitts, Leiter and Gardner are short distance possibilities. In the middle distance events. Harold Norris and Lester Leiter seem good bets. Norris, who acquired a track reputation in the recent "Y" indoor meet, will prove a valuable man If eligibility rules do not keep him off the squad. The weight events will be well taken care of. Of the 1915 combination of weight stars, Bob Carvey is the only missing member. Morrey Tomlinson, who scored points for R. H. S. in the dicsus and shot last year,- is among those present. Cyril Pitts, the husky basketball guard,, is another dependable. The play grounds track will be the scene of daily workouts from now until the opening meet, probably withLiberty, May 6.

Frank Sloman the Pacific coast marvel and holder of the 440 yard running record, who three times within a week last season beat 48 seconds for the 440 yard run, says that phychology plays a leading part in the running of a race. He says : "Psychology figures to a surprising extent in athletics. For instance, getting stale, I think, is largely a condition of one's mind. Also one should never under any circumstances allow a performance, in training or competition, to discourage him."

That many school children are being allowed to become chronically constipated through parents' oversight, i? a startling fact, brought to light by recent investigation by school authorities. Hastily snatched meals so that there will be more time to play, the use of ready-to-eat cereals, and the general neglect of the call of nature are given as principal causes. It is the duty of mothers to see that children attend to the call of nature before going to school, and that children are not given habit-forming pills, salts, etc. When a laxative is needed, it should be Castor-Jell, which Is Castor oil in a new and pleasant jelly form. It does not form a habit and can be bought at Thistlethwaite'e drug stores. The Castor Products Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Adv.
