THREE MEN OUT OF CLASH WITH DAYTON OUTFIT Earlham College Team Actively Engaged in Rehearsal for First Game.

Sarlham college baeketball equad is practising every evening for the clash with St. Marys. Dec. 8. at. Dayton, when they play their first inter-collegiate game. Coach Lewis is giving his men a strenuous workout this week, drilling them Jn secret signaling and passing the ball and pass work plays that if carried through will net Earlham goale. He is also training the men to guard the man with the ball and getting away with the ball without being pinioned by the opponent guards. Meeks and Lawler are locating the basket with ease in free throws and Meeks promises to keep up a good record this year making points for the Earlham squad by bis excellent judgment of the foul distance. Three Are Out Even though the men who are out of practise are showing up well the Earlham five will be greatly handicapped through the absence of Pontius who Is in the hospital, and Johnson who Is ineligible this week and may not get bis work up In time for the St. Mary's game. - Pitts, last year's star guard, has not been able to get out to practise at all so far on account of injuries received in football this year. Jessup probably will be switched from the guard position to forward in Pontius place and a new guard will have a chance to fill that position. No definite line-up has been settled on with the exception of the three letter men. Brown, forward, Meeks, guard, and Edwards, center, and Jessup, forward. Four Captains at DePauw Enter Service GREENCASTLE, Ind.. Dec. 6. The unusual occurence of captains of four branches of college sports in one college enlisting in various branches of the army in one week, has taken place at DePauw university. Today E. C. Buss, athletic director announced that Burbon P. Borduant, captain of the 1917 football team, had enlisted in the chauffeurs division of the aviation corps: that Russell Cook, captain of the 1917. track team and holder of the Indiana pole vault, enlisted in the naval aviation corps; Roscoe Thiebert, captain of the 1917 baseball team and president of the DePauw Student Body enlisted in the army aviation corps and Joe Royse, captain of this year's basket ball team haB enlisted in the Second Indiana Field Artillery. Alien German Says He Never Heard of City of Chicago EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 6. This

was naturalization day in the Vanderburg county superior court, and twenty-two applicants asked for their second papers. Most of the applicants were Germans whose first papers had been granted previously. There had been four rejections up to noon because the applicants did not show sufficient knowledge of the state and federal governments. One man did not know whether the Indiana state legislature met at Indianapolis or Washington, and he had never heard of the city of Chicago. Judge Fred M. Hostetter, who presided at the hearings recently ruled that second papers could be granted to Germans who had made their application for citizenship before the United States and Germany went to war.

CHICAGO, Dec 6. Capt. T. L Huston, half owner of the New York American League team, who is now at the French front in charge of a company of engineers recruited from Wisconsin, Michigan and other mid-western states, writes earnestly and appealingly to Ban Johnson, president of the American League, asking that the

baseball magnates -wake up and realize that we really are at war. ; Capt. Huston's men are the trusty outfit that built the railroads right up to the firing line when the troops advanced and made It possible to maintain a supply of ammunition and food provisions. "You people must wake up to the fact that every ounce of energy the country possesses must be put into the war. I should not be surprised to see all of you carrying guns -within

two or three years. And if you don't wake up you are likely to find yourselves being ordered about by somebody you will recognize as your former grocery clerk." Capt. Huston has been under fire

and frankly says that he was deeply perturbed when a shell exploded only a few feet from him and jarred him off his pins. He wrote his letter just after receiving news of the victory of the White Sox over the Giants and he says the officers in the sector where he is located celebrated the event as royally as was possible, etc "I was sure the Sox would win," writes Capt. Huston. "New York was far ahead of all the rest of the teams in the National League. I do not believe they could pick a team of stars in the rest of the league that could

beat the Giants, while there were at

least three clubs in the American league I think would whale the daylights out of McGraWs outfit Boston,

Cleveland and Detroit, I believe, would have no trouble beating the New York Nationals." Capt. Huston believes it is to be a long war, and declares that only when the United States has an enormous army on the ground will Germany be defeated.

Fifteen days from today a New Christmas will dawn a war-time Christmas. We've planned for a Dickens Christmas which he so aptly describes as "a time when men and women seem by one

trained to open-heartedness; during the last few months we've thought less of ourselves and more of our fellows than ever before. That's been good for us as Christmas giving is good for us. And this store is ready. Tomorrow will find every corner presenting a holiday appeal. Buy now and buy such gifts that are practical Shoes. The time is ripe; only Fifteen more days till Christmas.
