the idea of obtaining Oral as soon as
they heard the amount demanded for

It is understood a large amount of

Byrnatad is very much pleased with

IS, In a practice game at the south
side gymnasium and right then and
I there they evidenced the tact that
I they possessed title ability and that
I they art going to travel a merry pace
when the Mat OD starts.
! Because of tha illness of Gordon
Varland, i rack right forward on the
("Swede" team, Coach Byrnatad has
been caused to make a slight change
in his lineup, Varland h is been out
for the past week or more and Bytn-
' stad has been greatly handicapped by
his absence. Last night he was
I forced to put Ole Nelson in v.irland's
' plae" at forward while Bewey played
i the opposite forward position.
I Nelson, who has been playing left
guard, was substituted by Stubjkar,
r. . Lt. i . momaii siar.
I This morning Coach Byrnatad stat
: ed that w hen Gordon Varland was
a'Uo to set out at:. tin lie would hi i
forced to change the lineup. At the'
j present time Bill Johnson, a long
lanky, lean six-footer, is the most
likely prospect for the center posi
tion, but it is his first year and he
j needs considerable coaching yet be
1 fore ho will be officially installed as
. center.
Truman Varland, who has been
1 playing that position, will be shifted
to right guard as soon as Byrnstud
; decides to make the changes. Last
j year Varland played right forward
j on the team and proved a very valu
! able man. This year he has had sev
eral try outs at guard. As his broth-
er, Gordon, and Dewey, have made
good at the forward position. Tru
man will no doubt play a regular
guard position while Nelson will be
shifted back to the other guard. By
' these changes. Gordon Varland ami
Dewey will play forwards. Bill John
son will be the regular center, and

Through slight misunderstanding
as to the scene of the battle, it was
stated iu this column several nights
ago thai the basketball game betwei n
Captain KImer "Sohllts" Bitter's
American Legion basketball Quintal
and Manager Phil (Cohl'S .Marseilles
All-Stars, would be played at the Ot
tawa armory. The game Instead
will be played at tin" Marseilles ath
letic ball tomorrow night, starting at
H o'clock, and will lie the socoud out
of town game The fans of this vicin
ty no doubt have planned on the big
game being played at the armory, but
according to statement made by Cup
tain Hitler, they W'ill not have a
Chance to see the local service live
in action in this city again until net
week when they will probably play
a return game with the fast BarlVille
Cardinals at the armory.
Nevertheless a great number of
fans from this city are planning to
make the trip up the way tomorrow
night to gee Kohl's buncb play the
local legion team. It will be a great
game no doubt, probably one of the
most .-ladling, interesting games ev
er staged around- this neck of the
wooda,
.Marseilles fans are sure Kohl's outfit
will win the game. ! ast Friday night
the All-Stars played the BarlvtUe
Cornhuskers in a game ami came out
tin the long end of a 85 to 21 score,
Right then and there Kohl and his
band put it down on their little
books that they were going to C l
up on the legion team when they met,
but they will have to hump it bit to
keep out in the clear.
Hitters team, Of course, lost to
the Earlville team several weeks ago,
I'll to lib It was the first time that
they had played together and along
wiib the &Cl that thov hi
dent teamwork, the gang
villa players succeeded in
the game.
Last week tii,. lagjon 8fa(1 played
"Ha ( 's Marseilles .lolly BO) a at the
"Haw a armory and won M to U.
I ' outfit proved a fast and
heady aggregation and during the
laal few minutes of play made it
i" ' tt) tough for Hitter's men. But
tho All Stars are reputed as beina
much faster ami a better club all
around than the Jolly Boys, During
the past month or more they have
encountered .some fast basketball
(Ives and have won them all. They
have played together tor the past
three years and have developed' some
wonderful team work and a strong
defense which enables them to stack
up their siring of victories.
Nevertheless, (titter and bu men
look good to the Ottawa backt us and
when it comes to B showdown H
looks as though they will win the
game. They have been practicing
three nights a week anil every lime
tioy got together they look very
much stronger. Kyery mini on tho
team shows considerable Improve
ment and although the same men Com
pose the team, It will be a much
tronger aggregation that will invade
.Marseilles territory and encounter
Kohl s bunch tomorrow night. The
