tech vs. mrxniXD.
The Technical High school quintet was
scheduled to mix things with Plainfield
this afternoon at the Tech gym in a
game regarded as easy pickings for the
east slders. The excellent showing made
against Thorntown Saturday night, cou
pled with the fact that Plainfield was
defeatedlearly in the season by the Man
ual squad, constitute the main reasons
why Coach Black’s men were doped to
cop the honors this afternoon. .Due to
the four-cornered tournament at Browns
burg Saturday, Coach Black" was ex
pected to take no chances on injuring
any of the regulars, and the lineup at
the start of the contest was expected to
contain mostly second string men.
The Te-eh floor has proven "a Jinx for
the arsenal players this season, as they
have failed to Win a game on it. The
squad has not practiced a single time
on their own floor this season, so a
visiting team is at more disadvan.
tage than the loear five. Llzton and
Shelbyville are the teams which have
carried off the honors on the two games
played on the Tech floor, and in both
contests the Tech bunch appeared at
their worst. The east siders were plan
ning to cast all jinx fears aside today,
however, and were determined to cop
their first victory on the home floor.
The game was scheduled to start prompt
ly at 3 o’clock.
Olson Leads in Taking
Game from Notre Dame
. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 21.—1n a
trough and tumble contest Notre Dame's
court representatives went down in de
feat before Western State Normal, claim
ant of the Michigan title, here yesterday.
The score was 23 to 22 To Olson, husky
pivotman of the tutors, can Western
Normal attribute Us victory. Sixteen
points were Olson’s contribution to the
final count.
Disaster overtook Notre Dame in the
opening moments of play when Forward
Klley was eliminated from further com-*
petition by a blow on his right eye, which
closed that member. Kiley’s loss weak
ened the Irish greatly. The team work
was slowed and the basket tossing be
came erratic. Mehre, Kiley’s running
mate, was so closely guarded that he sel
dom got a free shot for the basket. Nev
ertheless. he registered fourteen points
for his team. The first half ended with
the visitors leading by a 9-to-0 score.
Long shots by Granfleld and Olson fea
tured the final period.
Debonair-Y. M. H. A. Clash
Carded in Amateur Loop
Coach Squires ■will be a surprised man
11! his Debonairs fail to put the rollers
under the Y. M. H. A. when the teams
meet tonight on the South Side Turner
floor in the City Amateur Basketball
league. A week’s rest and light practice
drills have brought the “Debs” back to
their old form and speed will be their
middle name for the remainder of the
season.
The Y. M. H. A. game is the only one
on the Debonair card for this week, but
Davis Independents are after a
hot scrap and Manager Evans may book
them for Friday night. The Black and
White players are headed for the cham
pionship of the Indianapolis sectional In.
the Indiana 150-pound amateur basket
ball tourney and their followers feel
sure that they will bring home the bacon.
Butler Meets Earlham
After a rest since the victory over
State Normal Saturday night, the But
ler players got down to serious work
yesterday afternoon for the contest Fri
day night with Earlham at Richmond.
Although the mid-year exams handicap
practice, it is expected the team will
be in shape for the Quaker squad Fri
day. Thursday afternoon will find the
Butlerites taking their second and final
workout of the week before tackling
Coach Mowe’s proteges.
That Earlham has a strong combina
tion, no one in the state denies. How
ever, Butler played Rose Poly to a one
point overtime game and then Rose de
feated Earlham in an overtime contest
two points, so comparative scores
do not place Butler on the short- end
of the argument.
Wabash Bumps Rose
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 21.
Wabash won a clean-cut claim to the I.
C. A. L. leadership by defeating Rose
Poly, 40 to 23, here last night in a rough
contest.
Spencer opened -the scoring in the
game with a -foul -throw which was fol
lowed by a basket by Etter, Wabash
center. Harris then rung up Rose Poly's
first count of the game on a long shot
from the side. Wabash continued to
hammer the Engineer’s goal during the
half and the period closed with the
locals leading by a count of 23 to 9.
Play in the second period became ex
ceedingly rough, L. Etter and Briggs be
ing banished from tho contest for en
gaging in a short argument.

The receipts of 11,600 hogs Wednesday
under the dally average of previous
days this month, but there seemed to
be as many as buyers would absorb at
the present price level. There was a
sentiment among sellers that prices
should be higher, In keeping with those
at other markets, but buyers refused
to pay more than on Tuesday. In order
to make a clearance It was finally de
cided to duplicate prices of the day be
fore and the trading proceeded on that
ba3ls.
Local packers extended their opera
tions to the purchase of 7,000 bogs and
the rest of the supply was required for
the orders of eastern agents. The tip
top price was $15.66, but $15.50 was the
schedule price for the hogs averaging 225
pounds down. The hogs weighing up to
250 pounds sold at $15740 and the heavi
est nogs at $15.25. There was a steady
market for pigs at sls down and sows
were 25c lower, with sales from $13.75
dawn.
, CATTLE.
The cattle market was more active
and prices were fully steady, but even
the light Wednesday run of 800 did not
give sellers enough leverage to raise
quotations. The demand was most active
for the cattle that could be bought low
enough to make the minimum price for
dressed beef, and for three days there
has been a disposition among buyers to
neglect the steers, heifers and cows ex
pected to sell around top quotations. The
demand for bulls was equal to the sup
ply and sales were at fully steady prices.
The calf market was somewhat higher,
with a greater number of salts as nigh
as $22. There was a steady market for
feeding cattle, but the demand is still
slow from the country.
SHEEP.
Lambs again sold as high as S2O. and
other sales at $1&50@19.50, as well as
-the sheep that sold from $lO down, were
steady as compared with prevailing i
prices for several days. There was an
early clearance of the receipts of fewer
than 400.
