contest last night was one of the
most evenly matched games played here for some time and will give the Richmond team a' decided boost as favorite of the district tourney held hero March 7 and 8. In the very first few minutes of
plays. Manual was helpless at Rich
mond's unexpected offensive. The

the ball down the floor while Price

INDIANA DENTALS PROVE TO BE
EASY GAME FOR QUAKER TEAM
Earlham made easy work of the Indiana Dental -..college, aggregation Friday night on, the Coliseum floor. The score was 51 to 19., The Dents were unable to measure up with the superior brand of basket
ball shown by. the mannanmes. ooacn Mowe boasts of a ten man team and proved it by putting in all his second string men -in the second half, giving the Dentals the hottest run for .their money. '"" , ..;: ' From start to finish the game was uneven and at no time did the Dentals have a chance of putting over a different result as Mowe's huskies can handle either offensive or defensive plays. The Dents . fought hard but lacked the training and coaching that would put them in the Quaker basketball five's class. Hall, Lawler, Carey, Pitts and Johnson started the game for Earlham. T,awler annexed the first score a free
throw. Soon afterward Carey shot tha lonthpr throueh and then the
DpTita made a free throw, me n.an
ham scoring machine was started and
when the dust blew away at tne ena nt the first half the score stood 25

and toward the end ot tne game, mowe gave Raiford and . Mills a chance to

BY JACK KEENE Fight fans all over our fair land are already picking the winner of the Jess Willard-Jack Dempsey battle for the heavyweight title, to be staged next Ju,y- , .. In many instances, however, the fan picks Willard to win simply- because of his great size, because he 13 "a wise old bird' or because "he wouldn't take a chance if he thought Dempsey could lick him." T.tkewise many fans who are bank
ing on Dempsey have chosen him to I
win simclv because nes Deen Knott
ing 'em all down, because "he is young
anu iuu ui vi v - guy has held the title long enough. Laying aside "one's personal opinion and desire in the matter, each one of the fisrhters has some advantages over the other which are not open to dispute. . . ' ' Willard has thesa points in his favor : He is taller. He is the heavier. He has a greater reach. v He has had at least one long, grueling battle. .. . ..a He has the psychological advantage of being champion. Dempsey's recent victories most of them decisive ones cannot be used
as a DaSIS ior ueiici uiai. Willard.". The public does not know what short work Jess would make of the same field. But the public has had a chance to observe several points
about Dempsey that can De recKoneu with in doping out his chances against Willard. ...
Dempsey has these elements in ni3
favor: r
He is younger. He Is more aggressive than Willard. He Is game to the core. H has confidence.;
He is clever .at infighting WiMard's
weak soot.
Pprsonallv I believe tnat uempsey a
possibility of success lies in his infighting ability. If ho stays away from Jess and tries to outbox the champ Willard will have all the advantage. He will throw his left at Jack until he efts Dempsey to de
feat. Dempsey's Biq Chance. . But if Dempsey fights as aggressive
ly as always, gets inside that left and j
starts boring away at Jess stomacn
the ex-circus owner may
in trouble. . Dempsey has shown that he can put a knockout kick in a blow that travels only a few inches. Dempsey's youth and speed combine to give him -this kick. His muscles are elastic and respond readily. - - Willard never has done effective work at close range.. He is built too rangy for that. He is older and his muscles are ijot as flexible, probably.
j i fr Tint the kick find himself n(,mt.,fiT .loys
never has done deadly worK
He needs distance in his punches. If
with short blows
Dempsey plays so close that Willard caniioc otien uncork the long boys Jess will be handicapped. Of course, how much Jess will appreciate Jack's close range work and range remains to be seen. To size up Willard now as to how far he has slipped or how out of condition he is would be foolhardy. At his age, sixty days' training will bring about a wonderful change ;too great to estimate. . .

"FLU" RliLIHjS AT EARLHAM SPOILS PENNANT CHANCES Again Earlham college wijl have to be satisfied with second place in the I C A. L. pennant race unless Coach Townsend ot Wabash will agree to a later date for the deciding game. This situation is due to t e quarantine at Earlham because of "flu" conditions. ... R-prt(pn "flu" cases, mostly mild.
have been reported there, according to Coach Mowe. Late last evening, the Earlham officials and Dr. Ross, the Earlham health officer decided that Earlham must be put under the
ban. . The Wabash-Earlham game was to be played Saturday night- Mowe immediately tried to make arrangements with Coach Townsend of Wabash to play the game at a later date but thus far the Wabash coach is satisfied to let well enough alone. Last year both Earlham and Wabash claimed the title and .the Wabash coach would not book a game which would decide the claims. Earlham students are enraged over the situation. Coach Mowe offers to play the "Little Giant" team at any tinin even if the same has to be as
late as April 1. Townsend refused to re-date the game on the grounds that all his dates were full. If the Wabash coach wishese to display this kind of sportsmanship, he can do so as.no article of the I. C. A. L. by-laws cover such a condition. Unless the "flu" conditions are more critical, by Wednesday, the game between Franklin colege and the Quakers will be stged here Wednesday evening. Announcements will be made next week in regard to the Franklin game.

Jc4 Tinker, who is expected to place a club In Dayton,' announces that he is going to wait until after the Fort Wayne meeting' before making any rash promises to the Gem City fans.

Dunn made good as a skipper in his home town. He gave the fans about . the best Central league ball they ever saw in the two years he managed, the Springfield team. ", " He favors the Noblett plan of reorganization. "There are no real bad Jumps in the proposed Noblett circuit" said Dunn. "Lima, Dayton and Springfield are close together. So j are Richmond, South Bend and Fort Wayne and Grand Rapids and Muskegon can be reached from the Indiana without sleeper lumps. Give
any one of the cities named a winning team and it will turn out the crowds. I don't care what league you mention there will be two or three towns In t that will not draw well, if the clubs representing them are not up in the pennant race. TRY A PALLADIUM WANT AD. .1

PARK HIGHWAY URGED.
. A national highway to link up the national parks and monuments of the United States is recommended in the annual ;report of the director of the national Dark service. Attention is
called to-the fact that such a road would necessarily pass through undeveloped districts, and as the states and counties would not have funds enough for the work, federal construction is suggested. -
