MERCURY WENT TO 5 ABOVE (Continued from page one) probably stood close to 10 to 12 aboce zero, and the still lower record for the night came near dawn Tuesday
morning.
The minimum tempaturef or Monday was 36, early in the morning and the high mark for the day was 40 degrees above zero. But few Greencastle people remember thee old New Y'ear’s day of 1864, but many can recall the January 1, 1865. Both of these cold dates are recorded in history in this section. Many Greencastle soldiers recall the Jannary 1, 1864, because they were in the service at that time and many of them almost froze to death. On the morning of December 31, 1863 the Itempature was about 60 above zero. A cold wind, and a severe blizazrd came during the day and along with it, four or five inches of snow. By nightfall, the country was frozen up and the next morning, the mercury stood about 22 degrees below zero, a drop of about 80 degrees in less than 24 hours. This was just 60 years ago Tuesday morning. On New Year’s day, 1885, the government weather bureau reports a cold morning with a reported tempature of 25 below zero. Both of these dates are often recalled when one refers to a cold January 1, and since either of these dates, these low tempatures have not been duplucated

DRY NEW YEARS CHICAGO, Jan. 1—Chicago’s New Year came in cold—and wet. With temperature dropping to zero while th ocelebration was at its height revelers promisciously on their way with no fear of arrest for ‘liquor on the hip.” It was the wettest New 1 Years since enactment of the Volstead act.

of his vacation.

his home in Kokomo.
The schools of the county, like those here, will all re-open tomorrow

in Delphi. j They worked througout the Christmas vacation period and are coming full of confidence of trimming the Tigers. They will have their backers, too, because a big delegation of
rooters are coming with them.
A victory over DePauw means a lot for the Normal five. DePauw is conceded to be one of the strongest teams of Indiana and to win a game puts Normal among the top notchers
in state basketball circles.
State Normal has lost games to both Indiana and Franklin, but in both, they gave their opponents a hard game and led in the scoring until near the finish of the contest. Local players who saw the FranklinNormal game said Normal was as good as Franklin, but lacked condition sufficient to hold their lead htroughout the final minutes of game. Because of the heavy pre-season schedule for DePauw, Coach Ashmore thought it best to give the team a rest during the holidays, so they will likely not be in the perfect condition the Normal team will be in when they clash tomorrow night. Everything points to a splendid game and a record crowd, because this will be the kind of a game Greencastle fans en-
joy seeing the Tigers play.
The next home game will be with j Butler on January 16, a week from
tomorrow night.
