Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE121LiQ:atfjiettcs SINCE the last issue of the Advance the standing of the Indiana State Normal School in athletics has advanced a hundred fold. We lost our first game, that with Illinois Normal. The play was fast from the first start, every man on both teams playing to his utmost.At no time during the contest wras there a difference of more than six points between the twyo teams, although our collegians were forced to go through the entire 40 minutes without once assuming the lead. Twice they tied the count early in the game, but after that trailed until the end. Although the play was rough from both sides, we fared a little the worse for the wear than the visitors. Knauth bumped heads with one of the Suckers in the second half, and it was thought for a minute that he had broken his nose. He continued in the game. With 30 seconds to play, Schenck was jammed into one of the sharp corners of the wall by bumping into two of the visitors and was forced to retire.The score at the end of the first half stood 20 to 14 in favor of the Illinoisans. Then the teachers pulled themselves together and piled up four points before the visitors were able to add to their total. The spurt only served tospeed the winners up, and they started a bom¬ bardment of the basket which threatened for a minute to prove serious, but Wann and Clark found their fighting blood and, with the as¬ sistance of Stiffler, succeeded in stopping the rally.
