RICHMOND TEAM PLAYS HUNTINGTON ON NEXT FRIDAY

The Richmond High School basketball train plays its next game Friday with Huntington High School at Huntington. This will bo the fifth game of the local high school schedule this season. Of the first fonr games the Richmond boys won three and lost one. Probably the same lineup will be lifted Friday that was used on December 27 In the Rushville game. After the Huntington game on next Friday the fast Marion team will come to Richmond for the second game of the local team on Us home floor. Marlon has always had a reputation for having a fast, well-balanced team, and Richmond will probably have a hard time getting away with the big end of thf score. On January 17, the Richmond leathrr toners go to Indianapolis to play the Shortridgo team. In the next game, Richmond win have n chance to get revenge on the Riishville team, when the Rushvillites come to Richmond on January 24. Martinsville will be the next opponent of the Richmond boys. This will be the first time this season that Richmond will play that team on the Martinsville floor. Probably the easiest game of the local season will be played on Feb-u-ary with Connersville at that place. A game was scheduled with Connersville to be played here as the first game of the season, but it was called off because of the influenza ban. Then three straight games will b played on the Coliseum floor here with Huntington, Manual Training and M uncle high schools.

Sport Snap Shots 1 BY JACK KEENE.

Some one has dug up the interesting dope that the famous Georgia Tech football team was organized by Gen. Leonar Wood in 1892 when the Georgia school was only two years old and college football was a stranger to the south. General Wood was founder, coach and player, and many art the tales of his gridiron powers. For nine years before Heisman's .advent, Georgia Tech had won Just one game in more than sixty combats. But in Heif man's first year Georgia Tfch played nine games and won eight of then. In 1903, Heisman's second year, Georgia Tech won all of its nine games to the amazement of the southern fotball world. And then begun the "golden football era" for Georgia Tech. Year after year Tech scheduled games with tougher and tougher foes. Soon it became looked upon as a college that turned out the greatest football teams iu the south. Its fame Boon spread beyond the Ma sou and Dixon line, but it was not until 1915 that Tech began to attract national attention and took a ranking with the greatest football teams in America. The Ttch teams of 1915, 191G and 1817, although pitted against the most powerful foes that it could schedule, 1 did not suffer defeat in twenty-live combats, and it scored 1,129 points, against sixty-one by its opponents.

LOCAL INDEPENDENT

TEAM DEFEATED HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Deer 30. The Hagerstown Independents opened their season here Saturday night by defeating the Richmond Independents by the score of 45-22. The game was fast and interesting but at times it became rough. The first half was close and ended 13-8. During the Intermission the locals got together and came back strong, quickly smothering their opponents. No one man on either team showed up to any advantage, but the forwards on both teams seemed to have things pretty much their own way. Summary Hagerstown. Gls. F.G. F.G. M. Pts.

WASHINGTON

Lois Weber, known throughout the United States as the "BelasCo of the Screen," has added to her long list of notable screen successes in "Borrowed Clothes," the charming Jewel photoplay in which dainty Mildred Harris will appear in the role of Mary Kirk at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow. Miss Weber, as director, and Miss Harris, as star, form an imposing combination that is said to be unexcelled in the realm of plcturedom. Fully familiar with Miss Harris' talents, Miss Weber never exceeds, In her scenarios, the capabilities of this charming little star If, indeed, she has any limits and the result is a harmonious blend of story and acting that produces the most entertaining picture obtainable. MURRETTE There are few directors In this country who are better or more favorably known than John Stuart Robertson, the man who directed Billie Burke's newest starring vehicle, "The Make-Belleve Wife." which is to be displayed at the Murrette theatre today and Tuesday. This is a charming photocomedy in which Miss Burke has a delightful role and in which humor 13 the chief ingredient. Mr. Robertson was born In England, but educated in Canada. He was a member of Rose Stahl's company for two years, appeared in support of Maud Adams and other stage 6tars. and has been identified with motion picture production as player and director for several years.

MURRAY Just how great is the power of conscience? Conscience that inhuman Jailer from whom no guilty person can escape! Gordon Kingley believed that mental suffering is greater than physical pain, and used that method of torturing from his wife a confession of her little white lie. "The White Lie," a Paralta Play, which will be shown Monday and Tuesday at the Murray Theatre, was written by William Parker and presents the talented emotional actress, Bessie Barriscale, in one of the biggest dramatic stories of the screen. Edward Coxen in the role of the hus

band, Charles Gunn as the "other man" who, curiously enough, is not a villain, and little Mary Jane Irving make up the characters around whom the story centers.
