MORTON COURT TEAM DEFEATS UNION CITY SATURDAY, 37 T0 13

Richmond won easily from Union City Saturday night on the northern team's floor, 37 to 13. Coach Little started his five substitutes, wro served in the capacity of "wrecking crew" as they did at the Coliseum Friday night againt Fishers. The Hi seconds received some rather extreme man-handling in the curtain raiser, so the athletes who started the main attraction of the evening were preparing for the worst. Tickled that they were allowed to start the game against Union City, the first string substitutes swept the northern five oft its feet in the first 10 minutes of play. Although neither team did much scoring in this time, the second stringers showed their superior brand of play over the Union City team. The regulars put up such a plea with Coach Little to let them go into the game, that he finally consented after 15 minutes of the first half had passed by. Things began to move more rapidly then ever when thp main sharpshooters took the floor and the short, snappy pass-work was once more representing the Red and White the result being an inflow of field coals, which completely baffled the Union City representatives. 10 to 4 at Half Time. The score stood 10 to 4 at half time, but at the start of the second period, the Little men's offensive work became too fast for theUnion Hi lads. Nothing exciting, happened in the last half other than a good exhibition of signal practice from the Richmond tehletes, who seemed to enjoy the picnic to the fullest extent. Hi seconds wrere the victims of a rude program in the curtain raisei Things progressed fairly -well for them in the first half and they held a 6 to 4 lead over the Union understudies. But in the final period, the Union seconds were allowed by Referee Allen to run wild over th,e floor. The Richmond lads were unable to get into scoring territory at any time due to unnecessary charging and holding.

Sometimes they come back. More often the dethroned monarch in sportdom entirely disappears after defeat, but now and then one of these guys flops back la the dish and collects the mazuma all over again. The glorious year of 1922 has witnessed several of these returns in all branches of sport. Comebacks may contain a certain amount of luck, but most of the boys acquire the laurels for a second time by consistent plugging and a "never-say-die" spirit. Some, of course, have it thrust upon them and make the surprise unanimous by showing their consternation and consulting an insanity expert at . once to make sure the old brain isn't doing a Virginia reel.

Fishers showed to such good advantage against Richmond here Friday, probably because they had plenty of "space in which to turn around.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Comebacks Plenhnil in 1922

THE PEftEUlOo oome ack Mike O'Down was ready to wrinkle the upholstery in the Old Men's Home, he staged a comeback and .won the middleweight championship (of New York) from Dave Rosenburgh on a foul. Mike returns to the spotlight in one sense of the word, notwithstanding the existence of Johnny Wilson and Bryan Downey, both of whom lay claim to the bacon. Mike is thoroughly recognized in certain localities. A few precincts are yet to be heard from, however. Willie Hoppe, playing wonderful billiards in the international tournament in New York, went through the contest without a defeat and triumphed over Jake Schaefer, his conqueror of I a year ago. , Hoppe once more stands patented ice slides, made from the gift $f snok. The speedy forward of the Hi team is so full of pep that he cavorts like a youngster even while off the court. If the "Lizzies" and other such fceans of conveyance had been equipped with runners instead of wheels, the trip to Union City would have been none other remarkable, for the taxi drivers wasted no time on wheels. Earlham college struck a snag at Grencastle, when they met the veteran DePauw university nuintet in a 40minute battle. The Earlham quintet is by no means green this season, but with a bit of work it will be ready for the hard schedule of games ahead. College basketball is slower in getting underway this year than it has ever been before, due, possibly, to the hard grid season which the schools passed through in the past season.

Another notable comeback of the j year is Joe Lynch, who lost his bantarn title to Pete Herman some time; ago and regained the emblem when he outwhacked Johnny Buff. J Comebacks in baseball during '22 were as plentiful as department store Santa Clauses, but one of the most interesting of this return ticket fraternity was old "Babe" Adams of the Pittsburg Pirates,' world's series hero of 1909. This gent has been relegated to the frontier of back numbers since Hector wore rompers, but always1 comes back good and strong. Old Babe, with a percentage of .421, stands as thirteenth hurler in the National league and allowed but fifteen bases on balls in 27 games. This after the wise ones predicted that Adams would flivver last season.

High schol plays its next games with the Rushville first and second teams at the Coliseum Friday night. Both games should be unusually good. The real test to determine what squad of players is the fastest is to coop two teams up on a small floor If a team can successfully adapt its play to small dimensions and continue to score consistently, it has reached one of the big achievements in interscholastic basketball.

QUAKERS LOSE SLOW: GAME TO METHODIST LADS AT GREENCASTLE Earlham lost to DePauw 32 to 12 in a slow game at Greencastle Saturday night Neither team showed a good brand of basketball, and although the Methodists had the edge on the Quakers from the start, the game was marked by slow work on the part of each team. It was the second game for the Quakers and they were in good shape for the conflict, but for some reason they failed to get together and show the speed that they featured against the Dentals Friday night. Neither team scored for about three minutes, when DePauw slipped one through and started the scoring. Thi3 loosened things up and the Methodists started a bombardment of the back stops which steadily raised their score. The DePauw offensive was the feature of the game. They were snappy passers and were successful in working the ball up the floor for numerous short shots at the draperies. Their shooting was not so good and ' iatuiaui,i mm taic it JL ul iuc Rouir, men "as exixemeiy slow. After DePauw started scoring, they seemed to entirely baffle the Quakers, who seemed powerless to stop theif rushes or break up their passing. In the first half the Quakers failed to get together and at the end of the first half had not counted a single marker from the field. Quakers Eegin Scoring In the second half the Quakers opened up and scored two field goal3 in quick succession and it looked as though they had hit their stride. They made a better showing in this half but were unable to overtake the Methodists. White starred for DePauw, contributing six field goals to the Methodist total. Captain Hadley worked well for the home team. Coach Mowe will be out of the hospital and able to work with the men after the Christmas vacation, and with the material that showed up at the Coliseum in the Dental game should be able to work up a creditable five for the remainder of the season. line-up: !
