RICHMOND SWEEPS ; TO VICTORY OVER i LOUISVILLE QUINTET

Victory swept into the camp of Richmond hifch school basketball tossers Friday afternoon when they tripped the DuPont Manual Training high school team at Ixmisville, Ky.. by the scor of 31 to 22. Richmond's teamwork was not up to the usual standard and found the "going" fairly rough at tim. Score at half time -was 18 to 13, with the Kentuckians oa the lower end of the decision. Richmond started off with a rush and carried the Louisville players off their feet. They chocked the score up to 13 to 4 before the husky Kentuckians realized that they were in a bas ketball game. Richmond was enjoying sweet revenge, inasmuch as the Kentucky lads had enjoyed two victories in football during the last three years over the local Red and White five. DuPont climbed up from the low score and was in the running at half time. The second half opened with Louisville smashing at the Richmond defense with a great deal of roughness and trying to overcome the lead of five points. Richmond tightened up. and through consistent goal shooting drew away from the southerners and soon was out of danger. The play of the Richmond guards, Grepne and Kessler, was a decided feature of the game. The pair worked together under the basket and prevented the DuPont boys from scoring by their short pass method. Kessler opened up and broke into the scoring column in this game for three field goals. 4 Harklns Comes Back raip Harkins came back in this mmfi and connected for seven count-

ers on the floor, he mixed things and came out with flying colors. Rost had a man on his shoulders during most of Hie game and was held down to one field goal. Dan played his usual clever floor game, however. Ttaer was the.best man on the Kentucky team. He connected with six field goals. His floor work was especially good and his passing was the cans of considerable trouble for the Richmond defense. Richmond left Iuisville Saturday mrtrnirtr nt S!30 o'clock and were scheduled to arrive in Connersville early in the afternoon and rest up for the game, with the highly rated Connersville outfit.

The Eaton lads did not t-eem to be able to get together in the con'est, and did not display any of the , t-icd that they are capable of showing. The score at the end of the first half was IS to 13. So tisht was the defence of the fml'.Uon guards that the visitors failed to "-r.nncet with a field basket in the last half.

CONNERSVILLE FIVE NEXT HIGH OPPONENT W ith the laurels of a clever vic tory over their Kentucky opponents hovering overhead, the Richmond "Hi" basketball men will engage the con fident Connersville five on the latter team's floor Saturday night in a long-looked-to battle. The teams are old rivals and each one is more than anxious to emerge from the game with the long end of the score. If Richmond opens up and steps down the floor in the fashion which they did at Louisville on Friday afternoon, they will completely swamp the Connersville team. But, if the men are inclined to drop into a slump, all hopes for a win will be banished. Coach Sienger has the pair of guards which he thinks most of, at his disposal for the Connersville tilt, and in this pair he is taking steps to finish the season with a high standing. Kessler and Greene are always dependable for the defensive side of the game, and much is expected from them at Connersville Saturday night. HAGERSTOWN BASKET BOYS ADD VICTORY HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Feb. 4.

QUAKERS WEAKEN AT CRITICAL TIMES DEFEATED 43 TO 30 Earlham lost to DePauw's basketball quintet 43-30 at the Coliseum Friday night. Although the Quakers at times played the better basketball of the two fives, they allowed their defense to weaken at critical times and the Greencastle aggregation gradually pil ed up the score. Numerous spurts by the locals during the second half cut down the DePauw lead, but failed to overcome it,' "Guts" Goar, captain of the Quakers, brought the crowd to its feet and put his team in the lead after 'the first minute of play, when he dropped in a long shot from the side of the floor. The Mowemen led until 11 minutes had been played and at this point White, of the visitors, tied the score, 7-7. with his second field goal. The lo cals again stepped into the lead on two foul goals by Hinshaw and a field marker by Townsend. but with six minutes to play the Old Gold players began to slip by the Earlham defense and at the end of the half the score stood 22-13. j Shoots in Subs. In the second half Coach Mowe be gan shooting in his subs after the first minute of play, when he sent Winslow into the fray for Hinshaw. Winelow immediately made his presence felt with a field goal. Townsend also dropped in a .long one about this time. The DePauw score continued to mount with rapidity and by the middle of the second half Coach Walker deemed it safe to send his second string men into the game. At this point the Quakers staged a comeback and by a group of well-timed shots cut down the enemy lead to nine points. Back went the DePauw regulars, and the game ended with the teams fighting on even terms again. Numerous fouls were called by Ref eree Jensen during the contest, whicn resulted in Beasley and Hadley leav ing the game with four personal fouls after their names. Goar had an off night with his foul shooting and after the first few fouls .Hinshaw and Ken dall took care of this end of the game. Many substitutions during the final half slowed up this stage of the game. Both mentors used practically two complete teams. Hinshaw and Hadley were working best for the Quakers in the contest. For the visitors Allee and White were the chief scorers, while Captain Mendenhall played his usual game. Tonight the DePauw five meets the Builer tsuiiaogs at inaianapons.

LOCKE IS CLEARED OF PROFESSIONALISM CHICAGO, Feb. 4 An examination of western conference rules, the re sults of which were made public today, has cleared up the question raised as to the reason for the exoneration of Gordon Locke, star University of Iowa fullback of charges of professionalism despite the fact that he played summer baseball. Locke's case differed from those or the 22 middle western athletes who have been disbarred or face disbarrment from collegiate athletics because of participation in professional games, it wa3 pointed out, and the following conference rule covering his case was cited: "A student may engage in an occasional game during the summer vacation on a team that has no per manent organization provided such a team is not a professional or semiprofessional; that written permission has been secured from the proper ath letic authorities and that such permission is for only one team during a vacation." " Locke, It was pointed out, complied with all the provisions of the rule and the athletic authorities of the university were thus cognizant of the fact that he was playing summer baseball and also that he was not violating the conference rules. GREEN'S FORK LOSES TO CENTERVILLE FIVE CENTERVILLE, Ini.. Feb. 4 Centerville won a one-sided game from Green's Fork Independent basbetball five here, Friday night by the score of 33 to 17.

WATCH BILL RYAN! That's the tip of some of the Giant rooters. Ryan is the young hurler whom McGraw has kept under a fatherly wing for several seasons now, firm in the belief that he Is a star in the making. And judging by Ryan's work last year before he hurt his arm he i3 about set to deliver. McGraw can well use him to bolster a faltering hurling staff, too. Ryan was christened Wilfred. He was born in Butte, Mont, in 1896, but immediately announced that his future lay in the east and so his family moved to that section. Ryan entered Holy Cross college in 1913, and attracted attention there in baseball and football. Jess Burkett, one of McGraw's coaching assistants, spotted' Ryan and nailed him for the Giants. Ryan joined the Giants in June, 1918. He entered th.e war as a sailor a little later ana on. nis return to uie game w farmed out to Buffalo and then Tor-i onto. He won nineteen and lost nine games for the Canadian city last season before called back" to the Giants. He allowed an average of 2.73 earned runs a game. The Toronto club finished in second place. He became virtually a regular on the Giant hurling staff but was handicapped somewhat by a lame arm. Standing on the slippery, pavement of a small southern town one rainy night, like sailors on a reeling deck, thev were discussing a member of their party who had had to retire from the scene of action. The principal speaker in the group appeared to be having some difficulty in keeping his footing on the swaying pavement. The buildings on either side bowed and rocked. The telephone poles did -some sort o fcontortionist stunt, and even his voice was a bit thick. "Where's Sam?" another member of the group asked him. "We took him home," the first speaker informed him between hiscoughs. "Was he drunk?" "Drunk? It took three of us to get his hat in the car." Earlham rooters who sit in the front row of their section are gaining quite a bit of disfavor from the public which pays for reserved seats next to the Quaker section, when they become excited and rise up in their seats and thus shut off the view of the persons in the next section. There is no space in the Coliseum which is not in view when seated. Franklin high school defeated Bloomington Friday night at Bloomington by the score of 26 to 24. The game evened up the count between the two teams. Bloomington won from Franklin on her own floor last year by a narrow margin. The programs of "razzing the referee," which have occurred at most of the basketball games at' the Coliseum this year, reached the climax when Coach Mowe of Earlham was forced to step out on the floor and call the crowd down for its uncalled for behavior. The audience should remember that it comes to the basketball game to see the performance of two teams, handled by a referee who has been picked and agreed upon by the coaches of both teams. Richmond high school basketballers will take on the Connersville high lads at Connersville, Saturday night. The Connersville team has a good record for the season. The locals will not be in the best physical condition for the affray, due to their game with Louisville Friday and the long trip to and from the Blue Grass state. Johnny Mohardt, Notre Dame star, is the twenty-second middle western star athlete to confess to playing pro fessional football last fall, when he admitted his playing to the Notre Dame officials Friday. This is also the twelfth Notre Dame man to admit vio lating the college rules. Investigation by the University of Iowa athletic board against Locke and Devine of that university failed to produce any evidence against these two stars who are still in good standing. Notre Dame threw a god scare into the Wabash five at South Bend Friday night, the Scarlet winning the game by only two points. Notre Dame started a rally in the final minute of play that netted them two field markers and only the gun saved Wabash from a beating. Vincennes high school continued her mad rush toward the state high school championship , by trimming the Bedford high school five at Bedford Friday night by the score of 27 to 24. Bedford is rated as one of the best in the state, having a victory over the strong Franklin five. She lost a close one to the Blomington five. Johnny Dundee, world's junior lightweight champion, received the referee's decision over Joe Benjamin of San Francisco at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Dundee led the fighting throughout the bout. OLD LINE PLAYERS SCHEDULED TO APPEAR HERE WEDNESDAY "Tobe" Jessup, "Shel" Simmons and Nash Higgins will be on the lineup of the Betsy Ross team Wednesday night against the strong Dayton Oriole five at the Coliseum. These three men are well known to local fans arid should assure a real game. In addition to these three, Mansfield, Reid and Medearis will be at the forward positions.

CUBS MUST HUSTLE FOR REGULAR BERTHS

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 4. W'iUiam Kille-

fer, manager of the Chicago Nationals, j diceg of the foreignborn were enljSted said today that "there is going to be t against the league of nations by. the a lot of hustling for regular berths on j Republicans in 1920. .

am pretty sure that we will pick the right men for the positions. . The manager intimated that the left and centerfield positions were almost certain to be allatted to two sensational Pacific Coast recruits. In "Hack" Miller, the hard-hitting outfielder obtained from the San Francisco club, Killefer believes he has snivoH tho nrnhiom for the leftgaraen( while the centerfield position seems almost sure to go to Arnold Statz, who comes to the Cubs from Los Angeles. With thes positions believed to be practically decided, it looks like a hard fight for the other field position, with seven candidates in the field. Max Flack, who has held the regular berth since the merging of the Chicago Federal League club with the Cubs, will be given plenty of competition by Turner Barber and George Maisel, who demonstrated last season tnat they possessed major league ability. In addition to this trio, two former members of the Western association Arthur Weiss of Springfield, Mo., and "Red" Thomas of Henryville, Okla along with Barney Friberg, last season with Kansas City in the American association, and Martin Callaehan of the Worcester club of the pastern league, will enter the contest for Hack s job. FACE TO (Continued from Page One.) of considering the Pennsylvania senatorship in the light of hope must necessarily be extraordinary optimists. Democratic senators come from Pennsylvania about as often ac Republican senators from South Carolina. Reed in Hot Water Decidedly one of the most interestin p- nf " the' spnatorial situations is that in Missouri. Within two years, Senator James A. Reed was practically read out of his party at the San Francisco Democratic convention because of his lack of loyalty to Wilson and to Wilson's policy of the League of Nations. ' Today Reed is credited with meaning to see renomination and re-election on his same old position of extreme isolation from the League of Nations, from the four power treaty, from the Genoa conference and any and every other form of alliance, agreement, treaty, or what not. Until very recently it has been aid that the reaction against the league of nations and against foreign entang lements generally, was so strong m Missouri, especially in the rural dis tricts, that Reed could hope to "get away" with this platform. In the very recent past, however, it is clear that, whether it has reached Missouri or not, there is in the country a counter reaction against extreme isolation of the sort that Reed stands for. May Go Republican It is possible that Reed may be able to get the Democratic nomination in Missouri through sheer personal force. But if he does, he is pretty certain to make a considerable number of enemies within his party of such a sort that they will retuse to suport him at the general election in November, and thus render the state liable V go Republican. The National Democratic leaders are beginning to talk a good deal in terms of our foreign relations as an issue in the elections this year. Theysay the voters have begun to creep out of that cave of isolation into which the Republican orators told them about the league of nations in the 1920 campaign. They say the farmer is beginning to realize that the chief cause of his distress is lack of foreign markets and that the quickest way to restore European markets is to step in with' our strength and help stabilize the this change of mood on the part of the : world. That there is something in j public is undeniable. Still, if you ask the Democratic leaders whether they would be willing to revive the league of nations as an. issue this year, and go to the country' on it, they admit that the words "lea-, gue of nations" still has a bad name for the purpose of practical politics. But they say that if approximately the same thing could be presented to the ; public under another name, freed from ' the partisian pasions that were stirred up in the 1920 campaign, the public would take kindly to it.. In fact, the Democratic leaders say the Republicans .are getting ready to ilbiirn ligtd electric All previous electric car standards for efficiency, comfort and quality are surpassed by this new Milburn at reduced price of $2385. . o. b.

do just that thing. They say the Re-j

publicans would like to adopt a variation of this Democratic idea, and will do so if they can invent some accept able name for it, like the Afro-European Turnverin, or any other combination that will appeal affirmatively J to the prejudices of foreign born vot-; atrairs of the world. This, as well as the other Issues of this year's elections, is just now developing. It looks now as if the bonus bill might provide one. The Republi cans have made up their mind to placate the soldiers or at least some of the soldiers with one sort of bo-l nus bill or another. But it has developed that there Is a surprising amount of determined opposition to this measure. For the Republicans it is easy enough to write a bonus bill and write it in good big figures, but when they face the disagreeable necessity of providing the money for it, that means more taxation, and more taxation means more political troubles. Tariff Issue One of the other issues "of the year is also just in the making. That is the tariff. The only justification the Republicans can have for whatever bill they decicfe to write is national prosperity, and few dream that national prosperity on any large scale will come to us, either as a result of the tariff or anything else soon enough to help the Republicans very much at elections which will be held ra November. In current discussions of the pres ent political year it is frequently said that the farm bloc will be a source of trouble to the Republicans. There is nothing in that. The farm bloc is an asset to the Republicans, however impatiently Harding may snap his thumbs at it The farm bloc members of the Re publican party will be almost universally re-elected in the districts in which they run. They will be elected just because they are mem bers of the farm bloc. j If the middle west and western Republicans had not taken account of farming conditions among their constituents, there would have been a political revolution in that territory this year. The discontent would have expressed itself either in the shape of local third party movements or in the election of radical Democrats. The one sure thing is that it would have visited resentment on the party in power. Even as it is, there is a third party movement of some proportion in Nebraska. ' But the prospects are that the better part of the farming territory of the west and middle west will be kept in line for the Republicans, chiefly because that party in congress has passed the farm bios measures. Jam Auditorium to See First Christian Play At least 400 persons witnessed the Friday night performance of "Where the Lane Turned." given by members of the Christian Endeavor of the First Christian church. With every avail able seat in the audUorium taken, chairs had to be placed along wails and aisles. The four act rural comedy was pre sented Wednesday also, and despite the inclement weather, the auditorium was filled. Funds realized from the two performances will be placed in the church building treasury. It is believed that the demand for another showing of the play will be so great as to necessitate another performance. LEARN CARE OF CHILDREN (By Associated Press) I CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 4. Red!
