SHIFTY QUAKER FIVE ON EDGE FOR GAME WITH ANTIOCH FRIDAY The lid of the Earlham basketball eeason -will be lifted tonight when the Quaker five meets Jibe Antioch quintet from Yellow Springs, O., at the coliseum. From the standpoint of ftope the game will be closely fought and local fans are looking forward to a royal battle from the beginning whistle to the closing one. Both teams will take the floor com- . posed almost entirely of veteran mate- , rial. The Antiocu aggregation have already annexed one game this season, defeating the Wilmington team by the one-sided score of 29-4. They will also have the advantage of sevv eral weeks' practice over Mowe's men since they had no football season. Coach Mows as usual would make no prediction as to the outcome but made the following statement, "if it isn't a good game I will be just as disappointed as the fans." The Earlham five will, with one exception, be composed entirely of last year's men, who have as a matter of fact . played tov gether for the last three years. Beck who will start the game at floor guard has fitted into the Quaker machinery without slowing it up in the least. The probable line-up for Earlham will be Lawler and Hall forwards, Carey, center. Beck and Johnson, guards. Fast Forwards. In Lawler and Hall, Mowe has a forward combination that few Indiana colleges can equal. Both are fast, shifty men that can work the floor or ring up markers with exceptional ability. . Carey, the lanky center is rarely outjumped by the opposing center and has a long reach that makes O him a valuable man. In Johnson Earl- - ham can boast of one of the best back guards in the state. Weighing around 200 pounds he presents a. discouraging outlook to visiting forwards. Beck, also has plenty of weight and speed and may be counted on to hold down the floor guard job in a creditable manner. The entire squad, which will take the floor tonight will consist of Lawler, Hall, Carey, Beck, Johnson. Gaar, Hadley. Townsend, Eades, C. Kellum and Beasley. There will be no curtain-raiser and the game will commence promptly at 8 p. m. Admission will be 50 cents, with reserved seats selling at 65 cents. Seats cannot be reserved after 6 p. m. Coupon books will admit. BOSTON INDEPENDENTS VICTORS WERK. OF C. BOSTON, Ind., Dep. 10. Boston Independents scraped through a 13 to 10 "victory on the K. of C. team from Richmond here Thursday night in a well played game before the largest crowd of the season. Strong defense was exhibited by both fives and the three fouls pitched by J. Stanley enabled the locals to carry off the victory. Samuels, the star of the Boston team, was unable to hit 'his natural

stride because of the close guarding of Dillon in the first half. Stanley, llayed a fast game, but wa3 forced cut in the last few minutes because of a sprained ankle which probably will keep him out of the game for a few veeks. 0. Geier tickled the draperies for 6 points for the K. of C. and played a good game as did every man on the team. The refereeing of Rev. Harris, of Boston, was complimented by players on both sides. Boston is backing its team to the limit and turned out in good numbers to witness the contest. The brand of ball played by both teams was much above that generally seen in independent clubs. Both showed the effect of good coaching. The line-up and score follow: Boston, (13) K. of C. (10) Ballinarer P Klinger J. Stanley F T. Fitzgibbons Samuels C Geier Kitchell G C. Fitzgibbons Davis '. .G Dillon Field Goals Stanley, 2; Samuels, ?,: Gier, 3; Fitzgibbons. Foul Goals Stanley, 3. Referee Rev. Harris. HIGH NET TOSSERS FIND BASKET EYES

An hour of schimmage occupied the high school basketball candidates on the coliseum floor Thursday evening. Several changes were made in the personnel of the squad and a creditable team seems to be coming around for the opening game which is a week distant. Roland Loehr, who has been out of practice for the past two weeks because of an infected arm. received in the last football game of the season, was out again last night and was taking cr.re of the center job for the Red and White in great style. The scrimmage showed that several of the men were getting their eyes on the basket from all angles and would be able to score against any team if given the least chance. Brehm, Amick and Harkins were alternated at the forward jobs, with Iohr at center. Rest at floor guard, find Lovin and Graffis at back guard. Green, who has been guarding the basket, was not out last night The boys out for the team are looking forward to the first game of the f-eason next week. After this game the squad will be reduced, to give those standing the best chance for making the team a chance to get intensive practice. Coach Null has contented himself with the dropping out of candidates by their own accord, but some big cut will have to be made soon if any team is to be developed that will do justice to the school.

Eighteen of the 22 men awarded letters for football this year by the University of Nebraska are scheduled to return to school next fall for 1921 football season. With Nebraska back in the Missouri Valley conference, a hard schedule is anticipated. At least one game with an eastern college away from home is

in sight. Promises have been obtained from the Washington State college for a return game at Lincoln next year. In addition, Nebraska undoubtedly will again play Notre Dame at Lincoln, Michigan Aggies at East Lansing and Kansas at Lincoln. The freshman squad this year was exceptionally promising. At least four freshmen probably will appear on the varsity next year. Dana Noble, of Omaha; Frank Morgan, York, and Dewitz of Stanton, backs and Keemke of Bayard, end, are the men who showed promise on this year's freshman team. All of them have track records of 10.1 or better. There is every indication that next year's football team will be the fastest produced by Nebraska in manyyea rs. It is unlikely, it Is said, that Neb

raska will play return games with either Rutgers or Penn State next year. Nebraska defeated Rutgers and lost Penn State. The game here Thanksgiving day with Washington State college is the most talked about game of the year.

The four "N" men who will not return to school next year are Dale, Hobka, Young and Wade Munn.

What Will Check America's Carnival of Crime V In Chicago more than a thousand denizens of the underworld were recently rounded up in a swift series of spectacular raids which marked the advent of a new chief of police. In New York City, since the first of the year, the Tribune tell us, "the unsolved murders alone total more than 100," and the hold-ups, robberies, and thefts reported by the police represent a property loss of more than $3,100,000. In Philadelphia, according to the Inquirer of that city, there have been 100 murders in eleven months; and a recent record of fifty hold-ups in one day has resulted in plans for a special motor-cycle squad of bandit-chasing riflemen. In Pittsburg, according to a correspondent, "there has been an increase of 20 per cent, in crime this year," and "13 murders remain unsolved by the police." In Boston, says the Herald of that citv, "hold-ups by gunmen are becoming increasingly numerous." In Cincinnati the Commercial Tribune states that "every agency of robbery is working overtime." In St. Louis conditions have recently compelled Chief of Police O'Brien to organize a "drive" against gunmen, gangsters, and the criminal forces generally. Cleveland's records show 70 jiurders. Detroit confesses to an increase in homicides and robberies over its average for the last six years. In San Francisco the head of the detective bureau reports that "crimes of violence have increased since the advent of prohibition." In Seattle "robberies, hold-ups, and buglaries have been occurring with disturbing frequency," according to the Seattle Times, which adds, "the entire country is experiencing a veritable epidemic of crime." THE LITERARY DIGEST this week December 11th publishes a survey of the criminal records of the big cities in the United States, and shows from comparative statistics of this country and Europe the unenviable record which America holds.
