Richmond Vcrsue Muncie Muncie's chance to more up a tew notches In the I. S. L. comes tonight, when the Quakers and Campbells meet la combat on the Muncie floor. Muncie by winning tonight will cause the three leading teams of the circuit Richmond, New Ca6tle and Muncie to more into a triple tie for the lead position of the league. Richmond's setback at New Castle last night was instrumental in dragging the Quakers back to within grabbing distance of the runner-up teams. Should Richmond drop another game tonight, the team will still have an opportunity to get back tomorrow night, when New Castle comes here for a game. The outcome of tonight's game at Muncie will be watched inasmuch as the Quaker fans are eager to know what the team ean do against the new Muncie offensive of Williams, Fahrner and Thompson. New Castle, 6; Rlehmod, 1 It wasn't Theodore Roosevelt or Thomas W. Lawson who authorized the inscription to the effect: If you can't say anything nice about a feiiow don't say anything at all. Take Harry O'Metz, the Richmond 'goal tend for instance. At Richmond Wednesday night, Jimmy played a wonderful game. The palm branches were therefore banded to O'Metz last night. Today it is found to be utterly impossible to say anything complimentary about the same individual, hence no rattle from this section. The truth of the whole matter is the whole Quaker team was way off form at New Castle last night. And O'Metz especially. Even Lou Quigley, on the rush line fell down to the extent of allowing the veteran Bobbie Loxen five of the ten rushes. Loxen, by the way, filled Billy Duggan'3 skates, William having failed to put in his appearance in time for the game. ' The facts of the tradegy: New Cattle (6) Richmond (1) Loxen L.

PICK OF DISTRICT TO STAGE BATTLE; WABASH ON CARD

Dropping over to Richmond from Dayton, where the fast St. Mary's team took its scheduled beating last night, 30 to 22, the Wabash college basketball oquad opponents of Earlham in the Coliseum program tonight, arrived early today. The team was in great- physical condition and expected little opposition from the Quakers. Tonight's bill at the Coliseum opens with the HagerBtown-Richmond high tchool clash at 7:45 o'clock. The Earlham-Wabash game should be un? der way by 8:45. A record crowd is predicted. Haaerttown-Richmond The Hagerstown-Richmond game brings together the two most formidable teams in the Sixth district. R. H. S. has only one rival for the state trip this year and that rival is Hagerstown. The game tonight will show the strength of the respective teams. The probable lineups: Hagerstown Richmond Teetor Jessup Wlchterman O'Neal Forwards Foyst Parker Center Endslcy McBride Petty, Purple , Shelton Guards Subs (H) Northcutt, Orr; (R) Bulach, Simmons, Grimes. Wabash-Earlham "Best in the state this year," is the opinion of basketball critics who have seen the Wabash college five in action. Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame have been floored by thi3 team this season. Earlham's only hope is for a low score. The probable lineups: Wabash Earlham Devol Brown, Smith Cofflng Pontius Forwards Stonebreaker Cutrell Center Cauldwell Pitts Bacon ,. Temilin Guards

Billy Duggan, they say, is still on the road t He is expected in port today. , At that New Castle didn't need William last night And after all the nice things that were said about Harry O'Metz. Even Du Fresnes broke In again last night. The Duke scored one in the second. , More or less rough stuff sprouted forth but Cunningham didn't care to slow up the game. Bobbie Loxen, he of Lincoln's regime, made a huge hit with the New Castle natives. ' Harry Thompson will be pitted against the Quakers at Muncie to-nicht.
