a siisnt edge in tne tirst nair wnica enabled them to come on the long end

of the score. The usual inability to hit the basket again caused the downfall of the locals, the ex-soldiers missing many shots that should have been mined into goals. 'On the other hand the Dayton team connected with practically every easy shot given them. Those easy shots were few, however. Both teams were continually racing ihf ball up and down the floor only to lose H or be forced to try for a long shot. The two teams played a different style of ball, the Legion boys resorting more to the dribbling game, while the Cadets worked the ball up the floor with short snappy passing, which the Old Gold found very difficult to break up. The game started out to be very rough and dirty and much credit must be given to Referee Harrington for the way In which he handled the contest. Several of the I,egion players started roughing it at the beginning of the game and it brought, a response from the Cadets who also showed their wares at that style of game. During the contest 23 personal fouls were called on both teams, 12 being called on the Cadets and 11 on th Legion. O'Neal started the game at forward for the Legion and lasted only 10 minutes when he was removed for committing four personal offenses. Unusual Contest. Seldom is such a game as was played on the Coliseum floor Wednesday night, Feen on the hardwood court. TIip game, starting out with every appearance of being a rough, dirty contest, ended up in being a fairly clean contest. On many occasions the crowd was brought to its feet by some neat pice of work. Practically every man on both teams played fine games. Individual stars were scarce, although several of the players on both teams showef to good advantage. It mi?ht be said that Se ward was the bright light of the contest and no doubt one of the neater-t players ever Feen on the local court His floor work was particularly good and when he chose to dribble or take The ball down the floor he was seldom stopped, lie possessed a good eye for ihe basket and was very shifty. Xorb Sacksteder and Schwab also played good guardia ggames, both working the floor in fine style. Th five man offense played by the Cadets was baffling to the Old Gold. F'very man on the Legion who participated in the contest played a good game, with Simmons having a slight ed.3e. The lengthly pivot man was ;;11 over the floor at all times and in ihe thickest of the fight continually. !le also led in the scoring department, scoring 13 of the 25 points scored by ihe Legion, making 11 goals from tin free throw line. Sten.ier. who was substituted for O'Xeal, also put up a :-'ind fiiiht, but could not connect with the basket with any regularity.

The game was marred somewhat by the continual crabbing of the D:tyton players, especially Xorb Sacksteder, who is widely noted in the profession of crabbing. Xext. Wednesday night the Legion will battle the K. of C. ex-service men's school, of Indianapolis, on the Coliseum floor.

OLD RIVALS TO GLASS! IN DISTRICT CONTESTS ON HIGH NET COURTS

With high school basketball well under way some good games are predicted for Friday night. The standing of many teams will be determined by the results of these battles.

Carthage has prepared its floor so as to accommodate approximately 1200 fans, and Rushville has made arrange

ments for 250 rooters to attend the game. They wili bo accompanied by their band. The Carthage management not to be outdone, has secured the services of the Arlington band. Another battle will be staged at Liberty when Liberty battles the strong Connersville five. The dope, favors the Fayette county lads, they having defeated the Rushville five and Rushville having walloped the

Liberty five. The Liberty five promises the dope bucket will be upset Friday night.

He had been cut cf the game so long and was in such poor shape that he lasted only one quarter but he got his pay just the same. It was his name and reputation, rather than his present worth as a footballer that got him the $500 ofi'er. , Alexander, who was an Ail-American center while playing with Syracuse, gathered in beyond $2,000 for eight days' work. He had to toil rather hard for it. figuring in six tough games, but Alexander is one of those tough youngsters who thrives in hard knocks.

Alexander isn't the highest salaried "per game" player, but he worked so frequently during the football season just closed that his earnings went around $7,500. "Bo" McMillan, star of the Center college team, was offered $1,000 to play a single game with one of the professional clubs. It was figured that he would draw infinitely more than that through the gates.

Chips and Slips

Intercollegiate football's shortest punt is believed to have been recorded in the University of Xebraska-Pitts-burgh contest at Pittsburgh this fall. Halfback Lewellyn, of Nebraska, kicked almost at right angles to the Pitts goal line and out of bounds, the distance of the boot being three yards. This effort may not be the shortest one but the report of a shorter one has not ueen received.

Xorb Sacksteder was here again and presented his usual amount of crabbing during the contest, which is considerable. With Xorb in the contest

Seward, pivot man of the Cadets, was one of the neatest basketball men that has been seen on the local floor for many years. He works the floor in fine style and very seldom were the locals able to fctop his advance of the ball up to striking distance of the goal. He also possessed a wonderful eye for the basket, dropping several neat baskets in from th" center of the floor. The galling weakness in the champion Penn State football team is tha' no Penn player's' names are on th" ail-American elevens.
